Dan-Han was still talking to Jae-Hyun as they waited for In-Ha to return when the door was suddenly flung open from outside. They had both thought that it was Jae-Hyun who had returned from frolicking with women, that was above all his forte. But they were both surprised when they saw two beautiful ladies standing by the door.

"He-ll-o" They had heard one of them say before she apologized with a quick bow and awkwardly said, "Ha , wrong room"

Dan-Han had first seen the lady in front who was apologizing, he had already given a dismissal nod, when his eyes fell on the lady behind her. His eyes squinted reflexively and his heart skipped when he realized who it was. He was utterly surprised to see her there, his eyes scanned her from head to toe and he also noticed the way her eyes widened in both shock and surprise.

He had thought she was going to say something when her mouth moved open, but rather she pulled the lady in front of her out and slammed the door.

If Dan-Han was shocked, his face didn't show it. He looked at Jae-Hyun who was also looking at him, like as if he was secretly asking him if he had seen the lady that just walked in here.

"You know her?" Jae-Hyun asked when he saw the look on his face, it showed that he knew the women or maybe one of them. And he noticed the way Dan-Han had reacted when he saw them. He had known Dan-Han for a very long time and he could swear he had never seen that look on his face, especially after he meant a woman.

Dan-Han stood up from his seat without answering Jae-Hyun's question. His eyes were dark as he strolled towards the door with long strides. There was only one picture in his head and that's was the picture of his girl in a very hot and sexy gown, which revealed her the fair skin of her legs.

'What was she thinking wearing that? Why was she even in a club in the first place? Didn't he just drop her off?' These were the questions going through Dan-Han's head at the moment.

"Hey, where are you going? You're leaving me too?" Jae-Hyun called out to Dan-Han in disbelief.

"I'll be back" He replied without even looking back at him.

...

"Eun-sun you're pulling me?" Hei-Ran cried as Eun-sun grip over her hand was too tight. She was pulling her, and they were practically running.

"You better keep shut and hurry those legs of yours" Eun-sun warned, as she kept pulling Hei-Ran behind her without slowing down for a bit.

"Didn't you see it was the wrong room? why would you open the wrong door? Why did you even walk in without looking properly. Now he has seen me, I can't even begin to imagine what will happen if he finds me" Eun-sun said the later part of her words in trepidation. 'What kind of luck was this?' She cringed in her head. Hei-Ran was confused by what Eun-sun was saying. She barely heard the last part of her words, she was practically mumbling to herself.

Eun-sun sighed in relief when she spotted the door with a sign of 9 on it. She hurried her steps making Hei-Ran to increase her pace too. Hei-Ran didn't know what was wrong or why Eun-sun was behaving this way, but she also increased her pace, because she had never Eun-sun acting this way before. So whatever they were running from must be troublesome.

Eun-sun pushed the door and dragged Hei-Ran in, before letting her hand go. They made quite a grand entrance which attracted the attention of the people in the room who turned to look at them.

Eun-sun closed her eyes in embarrassment, while Hei-Ran tried to flash an awkward smile.

Maybe they really should have stayed at home and sent their well wishes to Ji-Sang via text.

But thankfully for them Ji-Sang had also spotted them the moment they stepped into the room. He was stupified, his eyes widen in surprise when he saw them standing by the door.

"Hei-Ran, Eun-sun?" He called out in a surprised tone, as he walked closer to them. The rest of the guest returned their attention back to what they had been doing, before the two pretty ladies came running like they were being chased.

Ji-Sang couldn't help but look them over, from head to toe when he stopped right in front of them. He wasn't really surprised to see Hei-Ran dressed like this, they had always known she had a thing for skimpy and tight fitted clothes, but not Eun-sun. His eyes stayed on Eun-sun for a while longer, different emotions flickering through his eyes. Admiration, love, surprise, regret, pain and sadness were all the emotions he was feeling right now. He couldn't believe his eyes. Admiration, love and surprise, because this was the first time he was seeing the girl he had loved forever looking very hot and sexy.

Regret, pain and sadness, because this was the beauty he could never have. And because this was not the first time he would be treated to such a sight but also the last.

Eun-sun had a knack for tormenting him, didn't she?

He jolted back to reality when Hei-Ran smacked his head with her purse.

"You're behaving like a pervert" She noted to him, making him burst out in a round of awkward laughter, as he looked at Eun-sun in the eye but like always she had those indifferent look she has always looked at him with.

"Come on, you guys surprised me. You both look beautiful and –" He tried saying to move away the awkward atmosphere when Hei-Ran interjected him.

"Enchanting" she added jokingly. Eun-sun looked at the both of them and shook her head, she wasn't really listening to what they were saying because she was still thinking about that narrow escape she just had. She turned her head to look around for where she could get a zip of alcohol. Her heart was yet to regain it's composure. It was still racing hard against her chest after seeing that guy in the other room. The thought of him made her heart beat quicken again.

'Why was he even here?' She hissed.

"I'll get us a drink first" she said before walking away. Ji-Sang's eyes followed her, rather they both looked at her in surprise. They both knew she has been trying to avoid consuming alcohol, so why was she looking for some?

"What's wrong with her?" Ji-Sang asked with concern, his eyes following the girl as she pushed past the crowd. Hei-Ran shrugged and replied, "I don't know." She turned and looked at Ji-Sang.

"So you're really leaving huh?" She asked with a sad smile.

"Yeah" Ji-Sang replied with a smile which was by no means happy. It was a sad and hurt smile.

"We're going to miss you Ji-Sang" She said sadly as she pulled him in for a hug, while Ji-Sang hugged her back.

"I'm going to miss you guys too" He replied, as he pulled away from the hug.

"Are you really sure you want to go?" Hei-Ran asked with a serious face, her eyes intently gazing at him. She was sure Ji-Sang didn't like the idea of leaving, but he was making himself to.

He sighed softly and looked towards the side Eun-sun had walked to, before turning to Hei-Ran again. "Would you believe me if I say I don't want to"

"No I wouldn't" She replied firmly, while he scoffed.

"Ji-Sang don't leave if you don't want to. You have your life here, and your friends and family too" She told him.

"Hei-Ran I don't want to but I can't stay either. It's hard seeing the one thing that you want but you can't have. It's been over ten years and each year it keeps getting hard. I want to move on, and find what I need, but I can't have it here. It's difficult being with her when she keeps acting like I'm being a burden and I'm pushing too hard. It's my fault for falling in love with my best friend, but the thing is nothing will change if I keep hanging around. I'll keep making her uncomfortable because I can't change how I feel. So I think is for the best" He sighed deflatedly.

Hei-Ran didn't know what to say. She understood how he felt and she couldn't help but feel bad for him. She sighed inwardly.

No matter how sorry she felt, she couldn't help the situation. Eun-sun had made her intentions of wanting to be in a relationship and she wasn't at all attracted to him.

"I'm sorry"

"What are you sorry about?" Eun-sun asked from behind them. She has returned with two glasses of cocktails. she passed one to Hei-Ran.

"What were you sorry about?" She asked again, when none of them answered."Nothing, just apologizing for not coming with a gift" Hei-Ran lied, while Eun-sun turned to look at Ji-Sang for the first time.

"I'm sorry we didn't come with a gift Ji-Sang, it was really impromptu. But we can help make your last day with us blissful. We can try right?" She turned to look at Hei-Ran who bobbed her head up and down. She was relieved Eun-sun had bought her lie, and not discovered they had actually been talking about her.

The trio of friends decided to enjoy the party despite the awkwardness between them. But Eun-sun had no idea what was going on the hall way of the club.
