After the work ended, Sarang didn't hesitate to leave the office at all. Before Heeseung could say something to her, she quickly grabbed her bag and left him hanging. Heeseung was completely confused- he still had no idea why Sarang acted that way. He thought that everything was already solved but he guesses, Sarang was still hurting - it made him concern about her.

Sarang walked through the hallways and smiled when her eyes caught the bus stop. She sat on the bench, waiting for the bus to arrive while playing with her fingers in silence. She couldn't help but sighed whenever she thought of him again and again. Sarang experienced a mixed feeling just now- She was hurting and it more hurt like it used to be, knowing Hina loved him back, she knew there's no way for her to get his heart. It would sound stupid if she wants him to come to her -

let's just move on

Sarang took a deep breath and brushed her hair out of her face before shutting her eyes tightly, trying to sleep for a while.

" Hey."

Sarang tilted her head to meet his eyes and she surprised when it was Heeseung,
She raised her eyebrows,

"  Do you want me to send you off?"

Sarang shook her head.

" Let's enjoy our time together. So, I can fix my mistake for you. I want us to be like before." He continued but Sarang just put on a plain face.

Sarang bowed to Heeseung politely and waved her hand to him when the bus arrived at the destination.

" Wait. I'm not done yet."

Sarang went onto the bus without replying to Heeseung. She finally was able to breathe properly when she got her seat. She felt nervous when she was with him as she couldn't let out any words. Sarang sat by the window and fixed her eyes at Heeseung who was clenching his fist with his eyes shut tightly.

Sarang knocked on the window to grab his attention and he heard it, he tilted his head to look at Sarang. She smiled and opened the window before throwing a lollipop at him. Luckily, he got to catch it. He looked at Sarang surprisingly while she was waving her hand to him.

" Goodbye, Mr.Lee," Sarang said to him.

The bus was finally moving. So, she quickly looked away without taking a glance at him for the last time.

Knock Knock

Sarang slowly opened the door because she was confused when someone came to her house at almost midnight. When her eyes caught Heeseung, she became nervous and scared.

Heeseung smiled, " Look at what I bought."
He showed her packs of ramyeons and giggled at his action but Sarang was still confused,

" What are you doing here at this time, Mr. Lee?"

" You look so disappointed lately. I guess you were still mad at me."

Sarang raised her eyebrows and sniffed her nose.

Heeseung cleared his throat,
" You used to treat me like an angel. You never failed to make me smile. You were always with me whenever I felt sad. So, now I want to repay your kindness."

" Mr.Lee, I'm okay..." Sarang smiled.

" It's already late. You should go home at this time."

" But, Sarang-"

" Goodnight." Sarang bowed to Heeseung and closed the door slowly.

Heeseung quickly stopped her by holding the door and went into the house without her permission. He took a step closer to Sarang while she was taking a step backward with her eyes fixed at Heeseung widely.

" Can you tell me what happened to you?"

" Nothing happened."

" Then why are you acting differently in front of me?"

" I'm not."

" Yes, you are. Look, if it's about what I said to Hina about you, I deeply apologize and I swear, I didn't mean to hurt you. It just came out of my mouth. I'm sorry, I was clueless at that time. I was angry at Hina for leaving me at the place alone."

" Yeah, it's all about Hina again..." Sarang muttered to him slowly.

" What did you say?"

Sarang shook her head,
" Just go home, okay?" Sarang slowly grabbed his sleeve and pulled him towards the door causing Heeseung to confused.

" I don't want to go home yet. I want to talk to you."

" No. You shouldn't be with me. Go to Hina. You might hear good news soon."

" I guess you don't want to see me. I guess you are avoiding me now. I guess you don't want to be my friend anymore. I guess our happy memories are not special to you. You are my precious friend - I guess, you didn't think the same." Heeseung said to Sarang loudly.

Sarang held her tears and looked at Heeseung,
" What do you mean by happy memories? We didn't have a good time together. If it's special to you, why did you lie at me?"

" We didn't have happy memories together. It just you and Hina. I'm just the blocker. The day we went to the amusement park, you didn't notice me when you were with Hina. The day we went to the cafe, you didn't ask me about my favorite because you were too focused on Hina. The day I asked you to come to the convenience store, you didn't come and lied to me about your sleep. You made me felt like stupid. I prepared a lot of food for you and am excited to meet you. I was waiting for you for a long time and felt sad when you went to Hina at that time.

But do you know how stupid I was when it came to you? I was managed to stay calm although it was hurting me.

I know, Mr. Lee is a great guy. He will never make me feel disappointed in him

He was lying to me because he didn't want me to think badly of him. He didn't want me to feel lonely. That's why he was lying to me. He knows I will understand him. That's why."

Sarang took a deep breath and tears dropped on her cheeks, right in front of Heeseung who was surprised by listening to her explanation.

" I was protecting you when you were sick but you didn't appreciate it at all.."

" Am I precious to you? Like for real, Mr.Lee?" Sarang asked him while crying. She hit her chest several times as it was hard to breathe and suddenly coughed badly.

" Sarang, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for everything. Sarang, I'm just- I'm just sorry. I mean it."

Sarang cut him off.

" I always said it is okay when it came to you.
It's okay

it's okay...

but-" Sarang cleared her throat,

" But you never notice it, whether I mean it or not."

" Sarang, no-"

Sarang slowly dragged Heeseung out of her house and she stared at him with a tiny smile. As tears dropped on her cheeks, she shut the door and locked it.

" Sarang."

"open the door. Please?"

" Hey, Nam Sarang."

" Sarang. Let's fix this together."

"Are we going to end our relationship like this?"
