I took a deep breath repeatedly to try to calm myself down. This afternoon, I will end my relationship with Namgil, as Yongju requested yesterday. "Sorry, I'm late" said Namgil, who had just arrived at my class. Just hearing his voice had made me not careless, "how is this? Can I do that?" my thinking. Namgil walked up to me. "Do you know, all night I was nervous waiting to hear from you. Are you all right?" ask Namgil in a soft tone. However, his forehead frowned as he caught the doubt from me.
"Tell me, if you weren't mad at me for my mistake last night" he said, attaching my hair to his ears. I looked at her soft smiling face and said, "Darling, tell me, if you've forgiven me" and it made my tongue feel even more twisted. "Tell me, if all is well and don't say, what am I thinking!" he looked closely at my two eyeballs, as if he could read my mind. "But oppa.. I'm sorry.." I was cut off because Namgil immediately grabbed my lips to silence me. Not only was I in shock, but also Daehyun and Jiwon who happened to be passing by in front of my class while searching for Namgil, were stunned as well.
"God! He really did it!" jiwon said. While Daehyun was silent with a sharp look as my trembling eyes met her beautiful eyes. "He forced her!" said Daehyun who suddenly felt annoyed before leaving Jiwon who was still watching the free show with an occasional smile. "Did we leave him?" jiwon asked as she followed Daehyun. "It's up to you to keep watching!" sahut Daehyun ketus. "Why get angry? I just asked," said Jiwon confused. "Say, who's the fool here? An inexperienced namgil? Hana is plain? Or am I getting interested in my cousin's and my best friend's lovers?" thought Daehyun, "ah, shit! What's pulling that tomboy girl?" he said in his heart while accelerating his pace until Jiwon who followed him, more confused he made.

"I'm sorry that I did it without asking permission first" Namgil said as we walked out of the school and waited for my invitation at the school gate. I just kept quiet from now on, didn't answer because I was confused what to say after Namgil kissed me earlier, then saw me cry about it and seemed so sorry for what he did. "Well, if you really want to break up, but at least until my birthday this week. I want to celebrate with you, if you want to grant it" Namgil said so resignedly.
Ever since hearing her sincere request, I couldn't bear to refuse it. Moreover, Namgil did not want to let go of his grip on my hand at all, even until Yongju's car stopped in front of us. I stiffened looking at it. "Gosh, I forgot who picked me up today, oppa!" my words and Namgil who heard it even approached Yongju's car while still holding my hand. Of course, Yongju got out of his car, "Lee Hana, didn't you say, there's no love in school!" he said that he suddenly made Namgil's steps stop instantly.
"It seems, I've really made his oppa dislike me!" namgil thought he was getting nervous and even clasped my hand. "Are you crazy, huh!" yongju snapped at Namgil as his eyes found the grasp of the hand. Even the teachers and disciples who were still in front of the gate, stared at Yongju in surprise. "Hand off!" yongju ordered him to take off his mask and Namgil, who saw him, immediately removed his hand from my hand. "Min Yongju?" namgil said he did not believe it. "Your oppa, Min Yongju?" namgil asked me who was already panicking to see the reaction of the people there who also saw Yongju's face.
Regardless of Namgil's question, I hurriedly pulled Yongju, "Oppa, let's go home. Hurry along!" I opened the car door for him. After making sure Yongju was sitting at the wheel, I ran into the car. "Oppa, hurry!" whining me again and Yongju looked back at me sharply, "You owe me an explanation, Lee Hana!" he said while turning on the car engine and I also explained Namgil's request earlier. Of course, without telling the part of Namgil who kissed me.
"Surely, he'd be dead this year if he didn't celebrate a birthday with you, huh? Don't leave! All of this must be just his wits! Crazy him!" yongju was upset. "Crazy Oppa, open the mask in such a public place!" sahutku. "Did you just call oppa crazy?" tanya Yongju did not accept. "Yes, oppa is crazy!" sahutku. "Do you want me killed because of the response and comments of oppa fans, huh?" my snapping. "God! I was afraid to open my phone. It's all because of oppa!" pissed me.
"That's because his hands are sticking like gum! What the fuck is that son of a bitch! How dare! Yesterday, he almost kissed you!" sahut Yongju grumbled. Uhuk... Uhuk... I choked on the last word Yongju said. "Why?" tanyanya while pulling her car handbrake because it turns out we have arrived in front of my house. "No. Namgil didn't kiss me," I said suddenly in a panic. Yongju who had memorized all my habits began to be suspicious of my behavior. "Say, did that son of a bitch kiss you?" tanyakanya.
Gulp! There was a sound as I swallowed my saliva and Yongju caught it. "Say, where?" her question and I got more and more misbehaved accepting her sharp gaze. "Say, where?" she then gently stroked my face with her right hand, "what's here?" tanyanya stroked my soft lips. My breathing grew heavy as Yongju did and just as I thought, he kissed me again. Even pulling my nape with his right hand.
Afterwards, Yongju licked my little lips that were wet from his actions with his tongue that seemed to glitter with our saliva both while smiling mischievously. He brought his face closer, but I shook my head slowly. "Wouldn't you?" tanyanya and I returned to shake. "Related?" tanyanya and I nodded. "Oppa, this is at home" I said reasoned. Yongju looked at me more and more. "Do we need to go to oppa's apartment? There's no one there. Just you and oppa," he said deliberately teasing me more.
I raised my glare when I heard him, "oppa!" my snapping. Yongju laughed at me who was angry. "Oppa is just kidding. You're so adorable with a red face like that" she said. The blush! My face turned red because of his mischievous behavior. Unfortunately, I got out of his car and Yongju said casually, "Annyeong, oppa go back to the apartment first or do you want to come?" Yongju drove out his car with a smile. "If our feelings had been achieved like this, would you have chosen me? But if it's not and you're just playing with my feelings, will our relationship go back to how it was?" thought suddenly.

"What's this?" namgil asks when Daehyun comes to his house and throws his Fer**ri car keys at Namgil. "As promised!" replied Daehyun who still looked annoyed. "So, you guys saw him?" ask Namgil. Jiwon laughed and said, "I should have recorded it as a memento of your first kiss, hyung," she said. "But you forced him!" daehyun suddenly said. "Hey, what are you saying? Do you not accept your defeat. Come on, losing it doesn't matter. After all, it's just one of your many cars" Jiwon said. "That's not the case, you fool!" daehyun's reply was getting upset.
"Of course, don't fight. Daehyun, just take the car. I don't want it" said Namgil limp. Daehyun and Jiwon who originally wanted to wrestle, threw each other a glance and looked at Namgil's astonishment. "Is there a problem?" ask Jiwon. "Unlike you always are!" sahut Daehyun too. "It seems, Hana wants to break up because her oppa doesn't like me," Namgil replied as she leaned her head against the chair. "What's? Why?" jiwon asked, "was it because he saw the events of that time?" ask again. "It seems so," replied Namgil, "so I met his oppa and he yelled at me in front of Hana," he continued, wistfully. Daehyun just silently listened, without Namgil and Jiwon knowing, a small smile was engraved on his handsome face with both of his eyebrows raised.
"If I don't remember wrongly, when I asked my eomma, Mrs Lee, eomma Hana, also surnamed Min before marriage," replied Namgil who made Daehyun turn to her with slow motion. "Who?" ask Daehyun slowly. "Min Miyoung, said my eomma, Hana's eomma is a former famous artist. Didn't eomma Hana work for your eomma-owned agency, Daehyun? As far as I'm concerned, our eomma has been friends with Mrs Lee for a long time, hasn't he?" answer Namgil. Daehyun smiled hearing that, "Aunt Miyoung's son? So, that's you apparently!" muttered. "What's the matter, Daehyun?" jiwon asked who did not understand, but Daehyun hurriedly invited her home.
"Do you want to go home now? What about your car?" tanya Namgil while taking the car keys that Daehyun threw earlier. "Take it for you!" sahut Daehyun with a happy smile. "What's wrong with you?" jiwon asked increasingly confused by the abnormal behavior of his best friend. "Finally, I've found her, aunt Miyoung!" daehyun answered cheerfully. Several times, the arrogant young man commented on his handsome smile. "discovered it? What's?" jiwon asked even more confusedly, but a moment later, she closed her mouth after saying, "don't you, you mean? Aunt Miyoung? Mrs Lee? Lee Hana's?" Daehyun nodded while showing his handsome smirk. "You sure this time it's true?" ask Jiwon. "You want a bet?" challenge Daehyun. Jiwon simply shook her head, "Indeed, what can I put down if I live alone, I depend on you," she said with a small smile.

"So, the bet ended like this?" muttered Namgil alone in his room while playing the car keys that Daehyun gave him, then grabbed his phone. "Darling, is your oppa still angry?" type Namgil in the chat he sent me. Drrt... Namgil immediately snatched back the phone that he had placed on the table because I immediately replied to a chat from him. "Sorry, my oppa has yelled at you" I replied. "It's okay. I'm also a man, so I understand that your oppa wants to protect his sister," she replied, wanting to look cool with her understanding.
I breathed my breath while reading it. "His IQ is high, it seems like he is really stupid as Daehyun often says," I said unconsciously. A glimpse of Daehyun's handsome face flashed through my head, especially the sharp gaze from his pair of beautiful black eyeballs earlier this afternoon. The deg! "Why do I remember!" my thinking. While in his car, Daehyun suddenly grinned as he recalled the same incident as me. "Hey, sweet girl! Don't cry because I'll teach you later!" he said in his heart.

The next day, I went to school as usual, but I tried to avoid Namgil as much as possible. Even if I accidentally meet, I still behave friendly, even with my head down. Like this time, when I headed to the cafeteria and passed Namgil. As usual, Namgil accompanied me, but I just walked beside him while hiding my hand into my hoodie bag that I returned to wear, so that he would not hold it. No conversation from me. If Namgil asks, I just answer him and it looks like Namgil understands this change in my attitude because he is also more silent today.
After taking our lunch, I rolled my eyes around the canteen to find a seat and Jiwon waved her hand, calling us from her seat. Namgil invited me to join his two best friends and I obeyed him. I sat right opposite Daehyun. Normally, Daehyun would be careless and rarely talk to me. "This time he was just silent, but why was he staring at me?" I thought that I felt less comfortable dealing with Daehyun.
Daehyung has been watching me ever since I sat in front of him. Even he blatantly looked at me in front of Namgil and Jiwon. "Hey, why are you staring at my girlfriend like that?" ask Namgil. It turned out that not only was my daydream spoiled by Namgil's question, but Daehyun was also because we both turned to Namgil at the same time. Namgil looked at me and Daehyung alternately. Daehyun continued to eat without saying anything and I did the same with him. Seeing that, Daehyun gave a small laugh in front of me. Meanwhile, Namgil increasingly looked suspiciously at Daehyun. And Jiwon just let out a long sigh, "Daehyun, I hope, you can be patient for the sake of your own friends and cousins," she said inwardly.

Flashback after Daehyun left his uncle's residence. On the way after driving Jiwon home, Daehyun contacted her mother and when her mother said she was having dinner with her best friend, Daehyun decided to follow her mother. Arriving at a fancy restaurant, Daehyun enters and greets the two middle-aged women who are still very beautiful, his mother and close friends, the woman Daehyun always called Aunt Miyoung, what Daehyun believed in was my mother.
"Is this our Daehyun?" my mother asked Kim Eunha, Daehyun's mother who smiled proudly, "Oh my God, how many years did auntie not meet you, you've grown this handsome!" continued. Daehyun smiled handsomely hearing that. "God! The bigger, the more Daehyun looks like his appa, yes!" my mother said that continued with the laughter of the two women. "Isn't your daughter exactly the same when you were young?" reply Mrs Kim. "Ah, the boy is still not making any progress. He's still the tomboy he used to be" replied my mother. "You think too much about it. She will change by herself when the time comes," said Mrs Kim comforted, "and despite being a tomboy, your daughter is still pretty like you, isn't she?" continued.
Daehyun who was enjoying her dinner while listening to the chat smiled, "i'm more convinced that it's Hana" she thought as she smiled again. "What's his name?" daehyun asked suddenly after he finished his dinner and stopped the laughter of the two women. "I mean, the name of the beautiful aunt's daughter," Daehyun continued, glancing spoiled at her mother. His mother suddenly glared at Daehyun. "His name is Lee.." replied my mother cut off because Mrs Kim said, "Daehyun, you better go home now. It's too late for you." Daehyun smiled at him and obeyed his mother's orders. But as he walked out, Daehyun remembered my mother's words, "His name is Lee... Hannah!" said grinning.

"Daehyun, please cherish our friendship" Jiwon said on her way home from school. Jiwon looked at Daehyun who was sitting next to her. Daehyun just kept silent not responding to it. "I can only pray our friendship will be fine" Jiwon said. "You have too many thoughts! What are you afraid of? My feelings for her?" daehyun in the end. Jiwon kept silent without daring to refute Daehyun who was already like her master. However, Daehyun suddenly looked suspiciously at Jiwon for the first time, "do you like her too?" tanyanya did not believe. "What's? Me? Nah! Who said I liked it?" jiwon replied, "i just don't want us to fight just because of women's issues" she added. "Yes, okay! I'll wait for them to really break up and I'll tell you the truth. Satisfied? Isn't that what you want?" sahut Daehyun who made Jiwon smile with relief.
