"Park Myung-dae".
Myung-dae smiled when Yeon-joo said his name. Yeon-joo felt happy when she met Myung-dae. She hugged Myung-dae happily. Tae-hee confused. "Aishhh, even me, she didn't hugged me like that..", Tae-hee pissed off.
"I'm relieved that you're doing just fine.", said Myung-dae.
"Of course, Myung-dae. Ohhh yesss, this is my boyfriend, Jang Tae-hee... Tae-hee, this is my lost bestfriend, Park Myung-dae..", Yeon-joo introduced both of them.
Tae-hee and Myung-dae shaked their hands. Tae-hee asks Myung-dae to join both of them. They're eating together. While eating together, Myung-dae asks Yeon-joo a question.
"Are you still in contact with Hwa-young?".
Yeon-joo stops eating. Her expression changed into a serious face. "No. That's enough, I don't know her.".
"But Yeon-joo, she was once your BFF. You cannot....", Myung-dae continued.
"Pleaseeeee ! Please don't talk about her. I'm happy that we met. But please... Yes, she's once my BFF .... And now, she were my BFF.", Yeon-joo burst into anger.
"See, I....", Myung-dae replied.
" Bitchy. Fake. Friend.", said Yeon-joo. Yeon-joo swears on Myung-dae. Myung-dae looks surprised when Yeon-joo become a emotionless person.
"I swears if you're ever think of getting back with her or looking for her, I promise you that you won't see me anymore in Seoul. I will not consider you as my adopted brother anymore.", said Yeon-joo. She walked away and asked the car key from Tae-hee. Only Tae-hee and Myung-dae at the table.
Tae-hee says sorry on behalf of Yeon-joo.
Myung-dae : She's really changed.
Tae-hee : Yess.. *smiled
Myung-dae : Both of us met when I was her BFF's boyfriend. Hwa-young. But I know, Yeon-joo disappointed with Hwa-young because Hwa-young cheated on me. That's why Yeon-joo couldn't forgive Hwa-young.
Tae-hee : Bitchy fake friend?
Myung-dae : *chuckled. Yes... I'm thankful that Yeon-joo found you. Never leave her alone even when she asked. She've been through a lot since she was 19. All her friends left her including Hwa-young. I'm really thankful that you'll take care of Yeon-joo.
Tae-hee : I will never leave her alone. I shall leave now.
Tae-hee left his business card to Myung-dae. Tae-hee asked Min-jae to pick him up. Tae-hee went to Yeon-joo's apartment but she wasn't there. He asked Min-jae to drive him to his own house so that he can use his own car and Min-jae can go home.
At Tae-hee's house ....
"Doctor Dan, isn't that Mrs Allison's car?", asked Min-jae.
"yes.."
Tae-hee saw Yeon-joo was sitting on a floor while drinking soju alone. Tae-hee asked Yeon-joo why is she drinking because she was not the drinking type.
"Park Myung-dae.... He always asking about her.....Even though she cheated on him....", Yeon-joo murmured.
"Who", asked Tae-hee.
"that bitch...", said Yeon-joo.
Yeon-joo puts her head on Tae-hee's shoulder.
"Tae-hee, I'm so happy that you always with me now...", said Yeon-joo with her deep voice.
Tae-hee looks at Yeon-joo sleeping on his shoulder. Tae-hee is carry Yeon-joo to his room. He lets Yeon-joo using his bed. While Tae-hee want to go sleep at the couch, Yeon-joo suddenly grabs his hand tightly. "Please....Don't leave...", Yeon-joo speaks in her sleep.
Tae-hee holds Yeon-joo tightly so that she can sleep.
...............
While on his way back home, Myung-dae almost hit a woman with his car. "Oh.my.God".
He went out of his car to check if the woman is okay or not.
"Are you okay?", asked Myung-dae.
Right after the woman turns her face to Myung-dae, he's shocked.
"Myung-dae yaaaa...", said the woman.
"Hwa....young.....", said Myung-dae.
Myung-dae took Hwa-young to hospital.
"If you're okay, I'll better be back home now. I've paid all the bills. Bye.", said Myung-dae.
"Myung-dae shiiii.... Wait.... Yeon-joo....", said Hwa-young.
"She's a different person now... You're her BFF...", said Myung-dae.
"Bitchy. Fake. Friend.", Myung-dae continued and leave.
Hwa-young felt sad and her tears dropped.
( In the morning ... )
Yeon-joo wakes up on Tae-hee's arm. She stared at Tae-hee's face and touched his face. "How's long you will stare at my face?", asked Tae-hee. Yeon-joo startled. Tae-hee kissed Yeon-joo's forehead as a morning kiss.
They both going to work together. While in the car, Tae-hee asks why Yeon-joo still can't forgive her friends. Yeon-joo replied, "I'm tired of forgiving people over and over when they're repeating the same mistake again.". Tae-hee said in his mind, she's once a kind-hearted woman. Tae-hee dropped Yeon-joo in front of her office. He kissed Yeon-joo's lips before Yeon-joo go. He said to Yeon-joo, "I will stay by your side.". Yeon-joo smiled.
When Yeon-joo was about to continue her novel, Mr Han came into her office. "There's someone want to meet you.".
"Who", asked Yeon-joo.
Mr Han asked the guest to come in. When Yeon-joo saw the guest's face, she's shocked and stands up from her chair.
"Min Hwa-young", said Yeon-joo.
