Jennie is on her way to go to studio for rehearsal, she looks gloom since the break up and always lost in her thought. Regret for how she treat Lisa and thinking of the chance to reconcile with her as she looks at view outside of the window.

It's alright
It's alright
Even if I lose everything

It's alright
It's alright
Because someone is next to me

Even when I'm crying
When I'm alone and lonely
You stayed by my side

You are my angel
Oh you are my angel
Always you're here
Oh you are my angel
You are by my side
Always always stay here forever

"What is it boss? You want to increase my salary?"

"No, better than that. A friend of mine is running a restaurant at Japan and it went very well. He is currently need a worker, a cook as soon as possible and I was thinking of you. I didn't force you but it's a good opportunity since you also said that you want leave this place and his will pay you more than i could. So what you think?"

"Is your friend Japanese? I can't speak Japanese, how am i suppose to survive there?" Dong Seok chuckle.

"He's korean and don't worry about it, you can learn and he also provide a hostel near to his restaurant"

"Thanks for the offer but give me some time, I need to think and discuss about it with my dad"

"Of course"

Lisa left the room and get back to work, her mind is thinking weather it's a good opportunity to grab on or not. She doesn't have any reason to go somewhere that far and she doesn't have a reason to stay either, she has lost her life purpose and she has to find it back.

"Good afternoon aunt it's been a month since my last visit, are you fine there? I'm not doing fine this days, many stupid things happen and I really miss your daughter can you help me? Please give me courage to meet your daughter, I'm still scared to meet her even during your funeral i didn't come to see her.

I only watch her from far, it should be me who stand next to her and not Daesung oppa. I'm such a jerk, I'm too scared of this world and it makes me lose someone precious. If my mom were like you maybe we can have a different ending right now, I hope she happy. And by the time I meet her, I wish we can smile at each other happily and when the time comes I won't lose her again"
