Jeongha had left a shaking Hyunsoo pondering over his life decisions. 'Back to the task at hand.'

Shin Saemi had stopped Jeongha mid walk. "Jeongha you look stunning, you know I think you're the best. You definitely deserve to be next to A3." The girl tried flattering Jeongha, which did somewhat work.

"What do you want?" She smirked at Saemi who handed her a gift, "I already gave a gift but this one's more special. Please make sure it reaches Namju." Saemi pleaded.

"Sure." She looked at the gift, dropping it Jeongha stepped on the well packaged small blue box. "Just kidding, I'll help you when pig's fly." She walked away leaving Saemi sad, angry and annoyed but not daring to say anything.

She was roaming the building and stumbled upon Juda and Namju. "You two are adorable. I almost feel bad." Jeongha rushed to Juda's side, fawning over the girl repeating compliments.

"I'm only letting you two get close because Jeongha is my friend." Namju coughed, "Those shoes are so pretty and probably expensive if they weren't I'd hit Namju with them." She laughed at her own little joke, Juda too laughed as Namju just scoffed.

"Anyways, you two should enjoy this while it lasts. All the best." Namju's feelings were sincere, she went from almost to actually feeling bad for the two.

'Writer who should I ship her with?'

"If Namju gets into therapy they'll be great." She whispered to herself.

Jeongha had ended up back outside and a little away from Kyung's table since she didn't want to interact with him.

Aeil complimented Kyung, engaging in a one sided conversation. "How do I look? I tried to wear a dress that goes well with your suit."

Sitting next to the Ae-girl's table had been an unlivable experience and she had to do something.

"Horrible." Jeongha passed by their table and stuck her tongue out to a furious Aeil who couldn't anything as Kyung's gaze rested on Aeol sending across the message 'Don't you dare react'

Jeongha knew subconsciously Kyung was still her friend. She reached a table and took a glass of champagne. 'It's so fun to be mean, also why are we drinking alcohol aren't we kids.'

"You shouldn't drink." Her mother snatched the glass downing it herself. 'Well except me I guess' "You won't believe what that witch Jihyun wants. She wants Jeonghee or you to marry Namju." Jeongha's mother was in full on rage mode.

"Will you let it go through?" Jeongha asked disturbed by the idea. "Of course not!" Her mother whisper-screamed. "It's insane, having her part of my family is part of my nightmares." Miyeon didn't notice when Jeongha stopped paying attention.

She saw Dohwa running with Juda to probably confess, 'Finally.' She sighed out.

Jeongha had ended up near the stage Danoh walked past her standing near by Haru close by as well.

The waiter holding the cake was coming down the stairs. Suddenly he tripped almost bumping into Danoh, but Kyung pulled her away.

Instead the cake crashed into Jeongha, ruining her dress. Kyung didn't even bat an eye.

Near by people whispered.

"He dropped the cake."

"Look Jeongha looks pathetic."

"She deserves it, she's a bitch."

"She's the worst."

"I never liked her."

"She deserves it."

These whispers roamed in the girls head.

Kyung's voice caught everyone's attention, including Jeongha. "I would like to make an announcement. Danoh is the only one for me from now on." He announced, leaving everyone speechless and Jeongha heartbroken.

Jeongha got up, she looked at her dress and she walked away.

She didn't notice Danoh and Kyung fighting nor did she notice Kyung coming after her.

She didn't notice Kyung calling her out nor did she notice her tears.

She didn't notice the lake in front of her but Kyung did. He caught her right in time.

"You have a thing for falling don't you?" His jaw was clenched, he was mad. "Danoh didn't want it, I mean─"

"If you're only going to talk about her then don't even open your mouth." She pushed him away.

"Why are you mad at me? I've been trying to apologize all evening, you've ignored me and now you're getting mad. As it is I am frustrated because of Danoh, you could be a little more helpful instead of being annoying." He screamed at her as she continued crying.

Jeongha pushed Kyung back. "A little more helpful, I've always put you before me and I'm being annoying. I do so much for you and while I know you would do the same it bothers me and saddens me that what if you didn't, what if you didn't care for me like I do for you.

You're awfully mean and uncaring, Baek Kyung, especially to yourself. You isolate yourself and pretend as if no one cares for you. I do, I always have. Stop lying to yourself, you don't like Danoh you're just butt hurt she chose Haru."

Jeongha whiped her tears, continuing her rant. "Danoh doesn't like you, you don't like her either. Your big ego and self-loathing has made you unlikeable. But l knew that you were just hurting, I cared for you unlike anyone else.

I don't want an award because I did what I did because I liked you." She spat out the last part. "I like you so so much." She cried and cried, her stream of tears not ending.

Neither of them said anything, Kyung just stared. He contemplated his feelings and Jeongha continued crying.

Kyung stepped forward now in close proximity with Jeongha, he looked down at her the girl looked up, "What is it you shou─"

She didn't finish that sentence, Kyung had leaned in a mere inch or two away from her, "Can I?" His question was obvious and Jeongha knew the answer except she couldn't get words out, so she stuck to nodding her head up and down.

Kyung waited another few seconds, so as to let Jeongha confirm her decision, then came down his lips on hers.

Ever since her early comic book memories, this is what Jeongha dreamed off. She dreamed to be able to do what she couldn't, let Kyung know how she feel and let him accept her.

This was perfect, everything about it. It felt as though all her had worries disappeared or were atleast far away from her. It was heaven, she could only describe it as that.

Her stomach was giddy, she didn't know how to react except to link her arms around his neck and pull him closer.

The two parted away, Kyung stared down he took out his handkerchief and wiped away her tears. "You said I didn't like Danoh, I know I don't, but I wanted to make sure whether I liked you or not."

Jeongha let him finish his sentence before asking her question, "Did you get your answer?" She asked, that giddy feeling resided in her.

"I did" He replied and Jeongha waited, it felt like hours until Kyung continued. "The answer is─"
