EXOTIC (XV): Until The Very End

KJ did not say anything but kept on drinking. 

"We're not wrong, are we?" Dasom asked.

"Does it matter?" KJ replied. "We're not meant to be."

"You don't know that!" Jinhyun pointed out. "You can't tell what the future holds. Even if she was in love with Ash, what he did to her was terrible. Maybe...maybe you're the only one who can help her heal."

"With what, Jinhyun?" KJ shot back. "With love? All those things sound good in stories not in real life! Get real."

"No, you get real," Dasom said. "We're just saying that you don't know what the future holds. You may be getting married to protect your image but what if along the way...she falls in love with you?"

"Impossible," KJ claimed. 

"You're just afraid," Jinhyun said bluntly. "You're just afraid to face your feelings. You want to be with her and yet, you're too scared of the unknown future."

"I'm not afraid!" KJ snapped. "I just think that she needs to heal."
