The party is back to its original atmosphere after the uproar caused by Ju Min's public confession. People would still talk about the current event and give their comments about it. But everything calms down because Ju Min makes all the reporters go. He doesn't want to mess up the party you prepared so well.
You just leave your guest when Ha Na approaches you. She holds your arm and doesn't look really good. You wonder why.
"Can we talk in private?" She asks you. Her eyes are almost pleading. You didn't understand why she was behaving like this. You look around to look for Ryu Min. He may give you a hint of what's happening. But he is nowhere you can see him.
"sure," you say. agree with her after a brief hesitation. She leads you to go outside.
Ju Min is catching the two of you leaving the building from afar. Then he says his farewell to the guest and follows you. He doesn't have a good feeling about it.
Once you reach outside, Ha Na turns around and looks at you straightly.
"Are you really going to accept Ju Min's proposal and marry him?" She asks you seriously. Her gaze is locked on yours.She is seeking an answer. Kim Ha Na is trying her best to read your face.
"Why?" you ask her instead, totally puzzled by her question.
"How about Ryu Min oppa?" she inquired. She is pursuing your answer with another question. You are still confused and ask her what she means by that.
"Ryu Min oppa never looks at me the way he does at you. He never loved me. I hate to admit it, but the only person he loves is... " Ha Na's sentences are being cut off by another voice.
"Kim Ha Na," Ju Min is calling her, use a firm tone to stop her.He treats her coldly. He doesn't look like his usual self. Ha Na catches his threatening signal. He hears everything and he can make a clear guess about what the younger girl will tell you. He feels endangered.
" Hyu Ri ssi... Here you are. I am looking for you everywhere. Jae Hee wants to discuss an important matter with you right now." He lied. He talks to you gently, just as usual. It makes his threatening act toward Ha Na almost invincible.
"Really?Well... Ha Na, let's talk later. I will come in a brief moment, "you enter the building again.
You actually sense Ju Min's strange behavior but never thought that he would lie to you. He is always being so straightforward and stating a true fact. He is too reasonable to lie. So you decide to meet Jae Hee soon and talk about whatever matters with her quickly. Fortunately, you bump into Jae Hee right away. You reassure her about what Ju Min told you. He says she wants to discuss an important thing.
"Do I?" Jae Hee asks you confusedly. It is clear to you now. Ju Min really lied to you.
"What are you trying to accomplish, Ha Na?" asks Ju Min after making sure that you are already gone.
"Oppa, do you truly love Hyu Ri?"The young girl asks the CEO.
"I do.That's why I asked her to marry me." He answers her and acts like her question is the most ridiculous thing to discuss.
"But she loves your brother." Ha Na reminded him of a fact that he always knew. He is silenced by her statement.
"And Ryu Min oppa adores her as well." Ha Na continues with a wrenching heart. She looks so broken.
"how do you know that? Did he tell you so?" Ju Min is really uncomfortable with the topic. Ha Na told him that Ryu Min wouldn't tell her about that. She pulls out the printout that she brought around and gives it to Ju Min.
"What about this?" The CEO refuses to understand when he already knew everything.
"Ryu Min oppa made it in his hidden room. He put a lot of effort into finishing it. Just read the letter on it. He deeply loves her!" Ha Na is frustrated. Why is he still staying so calm with all of the facts that she shows him? He doesn't shock at all.
"Did you know?" Ha Na made the right guess. He answered her with a short affirmation.
"You were aware of it, but you didn't inform Hyu Ri-ssi?"The young girl is confused. Is it possible that the cold man in front of her doesn't want to see the woman he loves happy?She can't understand the CEO at all. When you love someone, won't you make them happy? That is the reason why she wants to tell Hyu Ri that she wants the person she loves to be happy. Even though his happiness isn't with her.
"Why?" Ha Na tried to get an explanation.
"Because I want her to focus solely on me. I don't allow her to look at another man, especially Ryu Min. It irritates me. "Ju Min gives his honest answer. It makes Ha Na frown.
"What?" she inquired. feels that the man is really selfish. But love isn't supposed to be selfish, right? because her love for Ryu Min is selfless.
"When did you figure out everything?"The girl asked him curiously.
"I saw it coming from the start. I discovered Ryu Min had a crush on Hyu Ri since the first time I met her." He gives her his honest answer lazily, showing great disinterest. He is tired of making another reason to lie when the girl keeps bombarding him with a lot of questions.
"What?" says another voice appears behind the two people. They turn around and find you are already standing there. You are staring at Ju Min with a rage in your eyes.
"Hyu Ri...."Ju Min was panicked. He doesn't know that you are standing behind him. Since when? How many truths did you discover? His mind is blank. He plans to talk with Ha Na quickly, just enough to scare the girl away. But he never thought that you would be here anytime soon.
"I..."Ju Min tries to explain himself. But he doesn't find a single word to speak.
"Is that the reason why you were trying to win over me?" You ask him, feeling very disappointed. He was surprised. His eyes widened. He tries to deny it, but you can't believe him.
"I'm such a moron. I did doubt you before. I should've not believed you then. How ridiculous am I to think that you are being sincere to me when everything is a mere obsession for you! " you shout at him, spilling your anger.
"No, Hyu Ri... Dear... listen to me." Ju Min walks toward you and tries to calm you down.
"Don't address me like that!" You are sick of him calling you lovingly like that.
Ju Min is stunned and in pain.His eyes show all of his agony. You see a piece of paper in Ju Min's hand and snatch it away. You observe the picture; your smiling face is plastered there. How many times did Ryu Min need to collect and finish this work? What did he think when he made it? It makes you wonder. You recognize a sentence that is written down on it.
"I apologize...But don't love me; all I can give you is tears. Please just let me love you alone. " Your eyes are blurry.
"Oh..." a tear streams down your cheeks.Your knee is losing its strength. You fall and sit on the ground. Hugging the paper on your chest.
"Hyu Ri...."Ju Min tries to reach you out, but you stop him right away. You don't want him to get any closer.
"Please.... You're misinterpreting me." He pleads with you, but you won't hear anything now.
"Just leave...," you command.
"Hyu Ri.. I...." He is still trying to reach out his hand.
"LEAVE ME," you said through your gritted teeth, your eyes piercing him with a hatred glare.
He is doomed to be speechless. He never saw you with a lot of remorse toward him like now. He sighs, not really sure of what to do. He looks at Ha Na and the younger girl is looking at him silently. She is also puzzled. Ju Min decides to leave you with her even though he doesn't want it at all. Coming back to the building
Ha Na is trying to get you away and asks you to go sit down on the nearby bench. The two of you sit silently. You can't move your eyes from the picture. Your eyes are stuck to the sentences.
Ha Na begins telling you everything.How Ryu Min treats her nicely despite not loving her at all. He is just a really good person. He always put others before himself, and he ended up getting hurt by himself. Ha Na is happy about getting a chance to be his girlfriend, but somehow she also blames herself for keeping pressing him to regard her as a lover despite his true feelings. Because of her, he never gets to confess his love to you. She is apologizing to you for that.
"Where is he now?" you inquire of the girl.
The party is coming to an end.It's been a huge success. But despite that, Han Ju Min doesn't look pleased at all. His mind is wondering, his eyes showing sadness, he can't concentrate at all. The RFA members are gathered around and everyone is wondering about your presence. The other member asked Ju Min about you, but he couldn't give any answer.
Ju Min is catching Ha Na entering the building alone. He quickly walked towards her, feeling complete distress.
"Where is Hyu Ri?"He asks the girl and searches for you behind her, but you are not there.
"She's already gone..."Ha Na informed him in a low voice. Almost inaudible. Ju Min is rushing to follow you, but Ha Na catches his arm.
"Oppa....Please stop, their happiness is not with us.... Please let Hyu Ri go. " Ha Na tries to persuade the CEO. He released his arm from the young girl. The other member asks him what happened, but he doesn't reply.

"I won't. Never" he said.
Han Ju Min dashed inside his car. He ordered Mr. Kim to drive him to Ryu Min's place right away.
Ryu Min is standing alone in his hidden chamber. Watching your great photography for the last time. The memory of a previous event hunted his mind. It wrecks his heart to see you accept Ju Min's proposal right in front of his eyes. Maybe it is time for him to really let you go and let his feelings for you stay behind him. He starts to unload the tons of pictures which form the huge photography one by one. But his activity should be paused when he hears his doorbell ringing.
Ryu Min goes to the door and opens it. He finds you are standing in front of his door.
"Hyu Ri. What are you doing... " He can't finish his sentence because you barged into his studio.
You only have one purpose: to find out and prove that he loves you. You find an open room which looks different from the studio area, and you enter it. Ryu Min is following you behind and trying to stop you. But it is too late. You are already there and see everything. You find the huge photograph and some removed pictures on the table. You are staring at the art carefully.
"What exactly is this.... Ryu Min?" you confront the man, your first love. Ryu Min is silent. He can't find a word to reply to you.
"How come you didn't tell me anything?" You turn around and face him.
"There's no need for you to deny it again. Ryu Min, Ha Na told me.... The only person you love is me.... Why didn't you tell me? " You ask him softer.
"I am sorry Hyu Ri-ah... Ha Na is always staying with me. I don't want to make her get hurt... She did a lot for me... " Ryu Min doesn't dare make eye contact with you. He looks so rigid.
"And what about me? I am not okay, I am hurted Ryu Min, I.... Even though I always pretend that I can let you go, I can't. I am also hurt.... You know that too? You are suffering all the time... You are being unfair! " You stifle your tears.Ryu Min walks closer to you. He held your arm and looked at you with a lot of sorrow in his eyes.
" I only want you to be happy, Hyu Ri, and I apologize.Please don't cry... " He was looking at you with a painful gaze.
"Can you stop thinking about the other first? And also... How can you be so sure that I can be happy without you? For these last 10 years, you have been the only person for me. Why didn't you understand it already? Stop closing your eyes! " You hit his chest weakly, outbursting
Now you start to understand of thr reason why can't you forget him? Why can't you let go of your feelings toward him? Because all the time you actually sensed his love, you are just not confident enough to persue him. You are too afraid to be broken, while Ryu Min is too afraid to tell the truth. If the two of you had been honest with each other, maybe all of this pain wouldn't have happened. You feel that all of these years are going to waste.
"Ryu Min, I adore you...So please, don't ask me to forget you anymore. I can't...." you plead with him woefully. desperately holding on to his arm. He takes your hand and holds it tight.
"I've always loved you, Hyu Ri." He smiles at you with sad eyes. You can't hold it anymore. You burn your face on his chest and he hugs you tightly.
Ju Min had just arrived in front of the studio. He wants to enter the studio and bring you with him. But he was stopped when he discovered that you and Ryu Min were hugging each other through the window. Ryu Min lets go of your hug, and the two of you stare at each other, you gazing lovingly into his eyes. Ryu Min strokes your cheeks gently and brings his face closer. You close your eyes, expecting him to do something. Your lips are finally connected with him. You share a kiss to relay all the feelings that have been missed for years.
Ju Min tightened his grip on his hand and turned his face. His heart beats like a crazy drum. He diverts his eyes back to you. He knew... He always knew you. He knew your feelings. He did guess that you would run to Ryu Min right away. After you learn about his feelings, He knew his exsistance would be meaningless once you discovered Ryu Min's feeling. That's why he didn't tell you the truth. He is afraid of the possibility that you might run away from him. He is afraid that you will decide to be with Ryu Min and leave him alone. And now... all of his worries have really become a reality.
He's looking at you with his eyes wide open. His eyes show a complex mix of emotions. Betrayal, rage, hatred, agony, and longing. Does he really never become a special person for you? Do you ever love him? He wonders.
