"We broke up because things didn't happen
the way we planned it. Maybe it's fate."

"He's a keeper!!" Jang Mi screamed with a smile.
"What?"
"Namjoon. He's a keeper. If he asks you to marry him, don't ever say no", she playfully teased Lily while going down the hill full of snow.
"We're not even a couple." Lily said shyly.
"You're not? But, I really thought the two of you-.."
"We're just... best friends."
They walked together to the side of the ski place to get some drinks.
"Well he isn't being wise there. I mean, you look perfect for each other. Unless...."
"Hm?", she looked at Jang Mi while drinking water.
"Unless you're in a relationship right now."
"Ah! Ha ha! I'm single." She smiled.
"Oh then he has a chance. That's nice to hear."
"Mmm yeah."
"Can I ask you something?" Jang Mi asked as they both sat on the bench while watching their friends.
"Sure, what is it?"
"When my husband and I went to their old room to get the first aid kit the other day, I saw their old photos. I also saw you with them in other pictures. And there's this one photo of you with him in Disneyland. He was kissing you... on .. the cheek."
Lily felt awkward. "Oh! Yeah... I already forgot about that."
"Really? But... were you two in a relationship before?"
Lily took a few seconds to answer, "Yes."
Jang Mi felt jealous but kept her compusure, "You know I don't really have much information about my husband's group since I was trained to manage our business at a young age, even while I was still in college. I was busy keeping all our employees employed by maintaining our sales high and our company operating well. I didn't really get to enjoy going out with girl friends during weekends that's why I don't have much friends. But Hoseok oppa.. I got to know him since we were little. The other kids loved playing with him but they won't play with me. One day, there was a party and they all danced. My feet were stuck in the corner because I was so shy. He noticed me and took my hand. He pulled me to the middle and we both danced. That was the happiest day of my life as a little girl. I knew he was the one."
Lily kept on listening.
"But I heard that he had a fiancée before we got married. I never asked him since he doesn't really like talking about our past relationships. Ji Woo eonni and I aren't even close but she said that I shouldn't worry", she paused. "Did you break up because of me?"
Lily held her water bottle with both hands trying to keep calm and looking far. She smiled and said, "We broke up because things didn't happen the way we planned it. Maybe it's fate. You didn't know at that time so it wasn't your fault."
"At first, I never really liked the idea of arranged marriage. I wanted to choose who to marry. I want us both to fall in love deeply with each other. But when abeoji (dad) said he'll marry me off to the son of the Jungs, I felt bad. I felt bad because I opposed arranged marriage but I wanted to be selfish for once. I wanted to marry him even if his heart belonged to someone else. I told myself he'll learn to love me eventually, I'll just have to wait. Maybe he'll learn to love me when we have a baby."
Lily felt a slight volt in her tummy when she heard it. "A- a baby?" her mind screamed. "Are you pregnant?" she asked in a raspy voice.
"Ajik (not yet). But I really would want to be, soon."
The big lump in Lily's throat suddenly disappeared. Her heart and mind are simultaneously bugging her at the moment.

All of them arrived at Jin's family ski resort in Gangwon-do a couple of days ago. Miyaka and Lily shared a room while Hoseok and Jang Mi shared one too. All the other boys occupied one room each.
It was getting late and Lily looked for Miyaka all over the house. She isn't answering her phone and the staff haven't seen her since she went out to ski.
"It's getting dark and Miyaka isn't here yet. Na keokjeonghanda! (I'm worried!)"
"I already called the security to help us find her. Jin hyung is already looking for her around."
"Aniyo! She might got lost in the woods. I'll find her." Lily took her fur coat from the stand and dashed her way out of the house. Namjoon ran to his room to get his coat and immediately followed her.
They went around the place and searched for Miyaka. Namjoon didn't notice that he lost Lily since it was already dark. He kept on looking for the two girls and tried to contact Jin to tell him what happened.
Lily got lost in the woods. She felt a lot more scared. Her throat is starting to get dry and hurt from screaming. However, she kept on walking even when the snow starts to fall.
Back at the house, the other boys are doing their best to help. They heard Jin and Namjoon's conversation over the phone.
"Hyung! We must find them!! The news said there will be a snow storm tonight. They might freeze in the woods if they stayed there until the morning!!" Taehyung worriedly said.
Hoseok can't keep calm at the moment. He can't stand the fact that he can't do anything for Lily.
"Hyung, what are we gonna do?" Jimin asked.
"I'll call the patrol again and if there's still no news-" Jin's still speaking when they all heard the door banged and saw Hoseok went out.
"Hoseok-a!!!!! Eodi ka? (Hoseok! Where are you going?)" Yoongi screamed but the younger didn't answer.
Jang Mi was about to follow him but Yoongi stopped her. He told her to stay in the house with the maknaes and wait for updates.

"Miyaka!!!!!!!! Miyaka!!!!!!!!!! Mal deullinayo? (Can you hear me?)"
Miyaka heard her and she tried all her best to answer. "Eonni!!!!!!!!!! Yeogi-issda!!! (Sis!! I'm here!!)" she kept on screaming back until Lily hears her.
"Miyaka!!! Kidaryeo! (Wait for me!) I'll go get you!" Lily said and run as fast as she could to where she hears Miyaka's voice.
Suddenly, she slipped from the edge of the hill and Miyaka saw her fall. She hurt her leg badly and scratched it from the rocks.
"Eonni!!! Eonni!!!" She screamed trying to get to Lily.
Lily is in so much pain but still tried to answer, "Na yeogi-isseo (I'm here), Miyaka."
She wanted to get up but it just hurts her leg even more. Miyaka started crying and she screamed harder and louder.
"Dowa juseyo!!!!! Dowa juseyo!!!!!! (Help us please!)"
