"So what's the verdict", Jae-seong asked as they entered the campus. "Guilty and sentence to life imprisonment", Jaehyun answered reading aloud from his phone. "Wow, poor him", Jae-seong responded pouting. "He deserves it anyway. The rest of his family is gonna go under trial one by one", Jaehyun said. "Really? How messed up could they be", Jae-seong asked with a disgusted expression. "And the president is stepping down in order to, and I quote, take responsibility, for every shady thing him and his family had done", Jaehyun continued making Jae-seong's expression grow weirder. "Shouldn't I be the one giving you that look", Jaehyun asked making Jae-seong go back to normal.
"And why do you say so", Jae-seong asked back. "You just decided to drop out after finals which I think is great because you can now manage your time properly, but the semester hasn't even officially ended yet and you are suddenly moving to another house", Jaehyun started elaborating. "And on top of that, you agreed to moving in with a guy who is getting jealous of me... your own brother... and two other guys who you basically grew up with, but that isn't the point", Jaehyun continued as he stopped on his tracks and turned to face Jae-seong. "Why did you agree on his plan", Jaehyun asked holding both her shoulders firmly.
"I said I was willing to compromise and that is what he wanted. I can't just take back everything I said about trying to make it work for the last time", Jae-seong responded removing Jaehyun's grip on her shoulders. Jaehyun still looking unconvinced made Jae-seong sigh as she held his hands. "I will be alright", Jae-seong reassured her brother. "Alright fine. I guess it's about time you experience this. But whenever you need help, don't hesitate to call, okay? No wait... you must call me, understand", Jaehyun said finally giving her permission wholeheartedly. Jae-seong smiled and nodded her head yes before they both headed to their class.
The final day for their finals has finally came to an end. “Let’s celebrate”, Mark said as soon as he approached Lucas and Jae-seong. “I still have to pack my things, remember”, Jae-seong responded. “Oh come on that can wait, my stomach can’t”, Mark whined making the two laugh. “Okay fine fine, call Jaehyun up so we can meet him there”, Jae-seong said making Mark cheer. “I’ll call Ten too”, Lucas said as Jae-seong nodded. The five gathered at their favorite chicken restaurant and after 3 hours of eating and chatting they eventually headed home. “See you later at Sun”, Ten said before parting ways with the bunch. They then headed home and as soon as they arrived Jae-seong hurriedly packed her stuff.
"Are you sure this is all you'll bring", Jaehyun asked looking at Jae-seong's luggage. "I mean... your suitcase was larger and fuller when we went to Copenhagen", Mark added. "I can just go back here anytime whenever I need something, right? Plus, I'll be coming home every once in a while", Jae-seong explained as she zipped her luggage shut. "Well guess I'll get going then", Jae-seong said as she stood up. "We'll miss you", Lucas said hugging Jae-seong. "Big time", Mark added joining in the hug. Jae-seong then peeked at Jaehyun who was just staring at the three. "Come on now! I know you wanna join", Jae-seong said extending her arms making the hug wider. Jaehyun just smiled and eventually joined them. "Take care", Jaehyun whispered but loud enough for her to hear.
The three watched by the door as Jae-seong left. "What's taking you so long", Jae-seong asked through the phone as soon as Yuta picked up. "Turn around", Yuta said making Jae-seong's heart skip a beat out of surprise. She then ended the call and turned around to see Yuta who was smiling from ear to ear. "Let me take that", Yuta said pointing at her luggage. She just smiled and handed it to him. He then extended an arm towards Jae-seong making her hold unto him. "Can we make a stop at the convenience store", Jae-seong asked as they started walking. "There's one near my place", Yuta responded with a smile. Jae-seong smiled back and immediately looked down. She sighed quietly as she looked back up and pursed her lips.
Yuta then held her hand and grasp on it tightly. "This feels so wrong. Why does my instincts tell me to let go", Jae-seong thought as she stared at their intertwined hands. "I should be happy, right? I guess I am happy. Maybe. Probably. I don't even think I deserve happiness", Jae-seong's thoughts started to wander. Not long after she started breathing heavily and in an instant Yuta noticed it. "What's wrong? Are you okay", Yuta asked stopping on his tracks and checking on her. "Nothing. I'm fine", Jae-seong answered with a smile. "I should be fine. I'm always fine", she thought before initiating to continue walking.
