Was this the right house? Eunji shuddered, anxiously glancing at the name plate on the big house in front of her. She hoped dearly that Sunoo gave her the right address and that the name 'yang' wasn't too common in this neighbourhood.

It was cold and the more time she wasted, wandering around and trying to find his house, the more she panicked.
It's been more than one hour and a half for god's sake. She was growing impatient.

"I don't care anymore..." Eunji pursed her lips, before ringing the door bell with a bit more force than she intended to.

And less than a few seconds later the door opened with Jungwon's familiar voice speaking, "Sunoo, I told you to just leave-" His words came to an halt abruptly, the moment his eyes met hers.

Jungwon came face to face with someone he didn't expect to see.
Someone he didn't want to see.
His face fell, "Eunji..?"

"Jungwon." Her eyes lit up, as she couldn't help but smile.
She missed him. She missed him so much to the point that she thought herself that he wasn't actually standing in front of her. As if he was a mere hallucination.

But it was then when the girl's smile would vanish upon seeing the state he was in.
He looked tired.
His pale skin highlighted the dark circles underneath his pair of eyes, while the cold expression he had on his face sent shivers down her spine.

This wasn't Jungwon. She thought to herself.
The way his dull eyes were piercing through her, while he stared down at her without any word, made her feel like she stood in front of a stranger, not the person that confessed his love to her not long ago.

"Jungwon?" Eunji repeated, her hand immediately going up to touch his forehead, "Are you okay?"

Again, he didn't answer and just stared at her, as she worriedly put both her hands on his shoulders, "Jungwon? Why aren't you answering me?"

"What are you doing here?" He spoke through gritted teeth, making her eyes widen.

"You must be disappointed in me. I'm sorry for not giving you the chance to explain everything back then." The girl looked down, balling her hands into fists, "I-I was wrong for getting angry at you. Sangmi was with me a moment ago and explained to me what happ-"

"Oh, so you are willing to listen to her but not to me?" Jungwon scoffed, making Eunji look up again, "I see."

"Jungwon, I'm sorry-"

"Are you actually sorry?" His cold voice, made her frown deepen, "The whole time...were you actually feeling sorry?"

Confusion was written all over her face, as she frowned, "What do you mean?"

He didn't answer. Tightening the grip around the door to his house, he slightly closed it.
Jungwon made sure that Eunji couldn't glance inside, making it almost too obvious that he was hiding something.

"Jungwon?" She repeated, as she approached him.
But he just flinched, closing the door slightly further.

And the next moment, she already had forcefully pushed the door open.
