It hurts because it's true.

Dan-Bi stood on her feet and picked up her duffel bag. She flicked the screen of her phone and tapped open the call log. She clicked on No-Eul's number and raised the phone to her ear as she walked to living room then to the exit of the building.

The call went through and all she said before hanging up is. "Get here in two minutes."

Just like that, she made a new decision. "I should have a taste of what other men are. It's time to finally forget Yo-Han and move on."

The Journey to the sport arena took a very short time. They alighted and went first into the gym to warm up.

An agile looking young lady spent all her time on the treadmill while her friend, No-Eul sat lazily on the mat, waiting for whoever's name was on her phone's screen.

"Dan-Bi, you can just sit still until they arrive, it's tiring to work yourself up before their arrival." No-Eul said to Dan-Bi. The latter was already sweating hard because the treadmill was set to a very high speed. She threw a towel at Dan-bi and said. "Clean up, they will be here in a while."

Dan-Bi didn't budge nor gave heed to No-Eul, she just continued running on the treadmill. She was only doing it to try and take her mind off Yo-han, at least for a moment.

Even though she had her ears plugged, she suddenly started to hear teasing songs from behind her. She wanted to turn around to check the situation but then, No-Eul beat her to it. Since No-Eul already did handle who ever it is, she continued her own running.

It was only a short time that a banter between No-Eul and the other woman started but she felt like the woman was here for her and not No-Eul.

She averted her gaze from the machines digital scale for the first time and her eyes caught the image of someone through the mirror that formed a wall of the wide space.

Her eyebrows raised as if showing how disgusting the other party is when she saw the mirror reflection. She turned around and in front of her stood No-Eul and Yeo-Na.

"...why are you standing up for her? Let her speak for herself b*tch" Yeo-Na lashed out at No-Eul which riled up No-Eul's anger. In a flash, a slap landed on Yeo-Na's face, she got very furious at No-Eul and also raised her hand to smite No-Eul but a strong hold gripped her arms in mid air.

It was just in time that Dan-bi turned around that Yeo-Na raised her hands. Instinctively, Dan-bi sprung into action and stopped Yeo-Na from hitting No-Eul.

She unplugged her ears and spoke in a stern and domineering manner. "What do you have to say?, Say it with you mouth not you hands." She was so rude with her words and she flung Yeo-Na's arm away without a care if it will fall off or not.

Yeo-Na felt strongly insulted and she immediately lashed out insults at Dan-bi.

"You, you don't have to act mightily, after all you've been disposed off. Uhn, I am sure it doesn't feel good to be replaced so soon. I always knew Yo-han never loved you, he only has eyes for me, he is only testing my patience. It was such a waste of time for you, he was never going to be yours anyway, so..."

"How did you even know something happened?" Dan-Bi asked. She only mention what happened to No-Eul who wouldn't go about spreading the news. The only possibility which is almost impossible is for her to learn from Yo-han himself.

"Dan-Bi, I have stayed five long years beside Yo-han, isn't it normal that I know everything that happens in his life. If you don't know, we are closer than you think." Yeo-Na lied but it was just to boost her pride in front of Dan-bi.

Dan-Bi deduced from Yeo-Na's words that she would be the one who sent her the image with the caption. She sneered and with her sharp and devious tongue, she counter attacked Yeo-Na. "Hmm, I see how close you are, but he didn't even take a glance at you, he picked a more beautiful secretary." The words beautiful was difficult for her to say, she should not call her rival 'beautiful' the fellow is supposed to be ugly, very ugly but just like Yeo-Na, she had to.

Yeo-Na gasped when the words hit her and she lost her composure immediately. In truth, saying that secretary is more beautiful than Yeo-Na is an extreme exaggeration because amongst the two women, Yeo-Na fits to be a model more than the others, she was truly beautiful. Her beauty just didn't manage to catch Yo-Han's eyes yet. So saying the secretary is more beautiful than her is like a total insult to her beauty which is her number one case of stepping on her pride.

She eagerly raised her hands to slap Dan-Bi but she couldn't because she felt she was outnumbered and would end up losing to Dan-bi if they got into a fight, all she could do was to resort back to using her words.

"Yo-han will take his time to discover what he truly wants, by that time, I won't be the one to be dumped." She turned around to leave.

"Who said I was dumped, I wasn't cheated on either, we already ended things with one another before he started seeing his secretary. Next time you should made a thorough investigation before making conclusions." Dan-Bi walked up to Yeo-Na who already halted her steps and spoke in her ears. "He seems to like office romance better than romance with a rich Heiress, you don't stand a chance. By the way, don't show yourself in my face again. I am no more with the man you can never have." And then with her final words, Dan-bi walked away.

Seeing that the war is over, No-Eul walked past Yeo-Na and stuck out her tongue to the fellow as she trailed after Dan-bi.

Yeo-Na remained rooted to the ground. She clenched her fist tightly with her nails torturing her palm. She was so angry when she felt a taste of how being told "A man you can never have" is like.

She had used the same thing in order to destroy Yo-Han's relationship with Dan-Bi. Who knew they were already apart?, It's not like they have to make a public announcement, so she wouldn't know. Now those words are directed towards her.

God it hurts because it's true.
