Taekwang is meeting with Soo Young in the afternoon. He just went back from visiting his dad.
Soo Young already in the cafe. She sits and waits for him to arrive.
He enters the cafe and he waves at her.
"Have you waited long?" Asks him
"Ani. I just arrived."
"Ok then. Do you want something?"
"Hmmm... hot cocoa."
"Ok."
Taekwang goes to the cashier and order the drinks. He takes the drinks and goes to his seat.
"So how's your dad?" Ask her
"He's fine. He looks happy when I visited him."
"Of course he is."
She drinks the hot chocolate and some of the foam remained on her face.
"Aigoo! Look at you. Are you a child or something? There's a foam on your mouth."
"Ah mianhae." she tries to wipe it but some of the foam is still there.
"Ya. There's still.. just let me do it"
He leans over her and wipe it with his hand. She looks at him and she blushed.
He sits again and see her face becomes really red.
"Ya! Your face is really red. Are you sick?"
"Ani! It just so hot here." She smiles shyly.
After they finished their drink, they go to a department store near the cafe. Taekwang wants to buy christmas gifts.
"Wow it's packed with people." says her
"Yes it's really crowded." says him
She grabs his hand and hold it tight.
"So we don't get separated" says her
He bewildered and he looks at their hands.
"C'mon" says her while pulling him.
They buy a lot of things. Taekwang help her carry the bags. They arrive at her house. He gives the shopping bags and says, "Ya. I thought I'm the one who need to buy the gifts but look at these. You're really love to shop a lot."
"Ya!"
"I'm going. See you tomorrow at school"
"Wait!" She pulls a knit hat out from one of her shopping bags. "This is for you." Says her.
She try to reach him by tip toeing and she puts the hat onto his head. They're so close and they look at each other eyes. She lose the balance and Taekwang catch her.
"Gwenchana?" Says him
She nods and says, "thank you for today. I have so much fun"
"Me too. Thanks for the hat." He waves goodbye to her and she enters her house with smiles on her face.

Taekwang is walking away from them but then he stop. He's titling his head and he wrinkled his face. Then he walks backwards and he stop near Eunbi and Shijin. He looks at Eunbi for few seconds.
"Ya! What are you doing?" Says Shijin
He push Eunbi head gently and cover his head with his hand. She hits his head so hard and says, "michyeosseo!"
"Auch! I'm right. It's you. Why are you here?" says Taekwang towards the girl beside Shijin
"Ya! I think he becomes completely crazy. Of course we're going to school for study." says Shijin with her rooling eyes.
"Ya! You think I'm stupid! I know what school are for. But her! She's not supposed to be here" says Taekwang
"Ckckck.. Ya! Just because you haven't talk to her for few months that doesn't means she can't be here." says Shijin
"Sssttt... you talk too much" says Taekwang while put his hand into Shijin mouth. He continues saying, "Where's Eunbi?"
"Wae? Don't you stop talking to her? I thought you're avoiding her." says Eunbyul
Shijin push Taekwang hand and says, "you're not Eunbi? Are you Eunbyul?"
"Ne! Majayo. I'm Eunbyul."
"Really Eunbyul?! I miss you so much. But why're you here?"
"Because I want to meet you and Songjoo and also Yi Ahn. I miss this school too. So I switched with Eunbi just for today."
"Ahhhh.." says Shijin
"Ya! Devil! Where's Eunbi?"
"Ya! Who the hell you think you are?!" yell Eunbyul while hit Taekwang
"Ya! It's hurt!" says Taekwang
"You! You're really something. After makes my sister sad and now you act like you're concerned about her." says Eunbyul
"Let's go Shijin. The school is going to start." she continues.
Eunbyul and Shiji are leaving him. He kicks the soils below him and says "that witch!"
***
During the lunch break, Eunbyul goes to the library and she's surprised when she sees Taekwang sleep there. She tries to ignore him but then she decides to bother him.
"Wow! I can't believe that you will be here." says her. She kick his body slowly.
"Ya! What do you want?" says him annoyingly
"Don't tell me that you come here to sleep?"
"It's too cold outside."
"It doesn't means that you can sleep here!" Her kick intervals becomes more often
He stands up and says, "Ya! Its hurt! Araso! I will leave." When he starts to walk, Eunbyul stop him and says, "Ya! Stop! I don't ask you to leave!"
"Ya! You think I want to stay when you're here." He tries to ignore her
"Stay!" She said firmly
Taekwang is always afraid of her. She has a bad temper, unlike her twins. He follows her order and stay beside her.

"She's at home." says Eunbyul
"Is she okay?"
"She's fine. You don't need to worry about her."
"I'm glad to hear it. She looks so thin these days. With exams and all the stuffs that's been happening, I'm afraid she's going to be sick"
"Hmmm interesting.. so based on your reaction, the moved on from my sister acts and all the avoiding things that's been going on are not working well"
"It's none of your business" says Taekwang
"I know. It's not that I concerned or anything and you're the least person I want to be my sister. But I hate to seeing her like this. So answer my question while I'm still ask you nicely, have you finally stop your feelings towards Eunbi?" says Eunbyul coldly
"No. Not even a little bit. I miss her even more"
"You're such a fool then. No wonder she chooses Yi Ahn over you before."
"Ya! Jugule! Wait what do you meant before?"
"Since it's not working. Could you please stop all this nonsense that's you two are doing?!"
"I want to but.."
"But what? Are you afraid that she will give you false hope?"
"Ani! I don't care if she returns my feelings or not. I only care about her happiness. I just need an explanation why she did that. I meant she already has Yi Ahn."
"Why? It's really simple, she just being selfish. She doesn't want to lose someone that always be there for her. And so what if my sister becomes selfish?! She's always thinks about other first, always sacrifice herself for other. And when she's finally acts like a normal human being, when she finally prioritizing herself over everyone, you're keeping a distance from her? You're truly an idiot."
"I..."
"Thanks to your foolish actions, she blames herself for being inconsiderate. And no matter how hard I try to convince her that she shouldn't have to be concerned about an imbecile like you, it's no use."
"I have to go" suddenly he gets up and leave her.
"Ya! You're really pain in the ass. Don't you heard what I just say?! Ya!" Says Eunbyul
Taekwang ignored Eunbyul's yelling and he just run straight towards outside. Soo Young sees him and asks, "Gong Taekwang, what're you doing?"
He just passed through her. He runs to Eunbi's house. He press the bell but no one answers. He press again and few seconds later Eunbi opens the door.
"Gong Taekwang?! What are you doing?" says Eunbi confused
"I...I'm sorry" he says while panting. He takes a deep breath and coughing.
"Ya. Gwenchana?"
"Gwenchana. I just need to get rest for awhile" he breathes and tries to control his breaths.
"Go Eunbi. I'm sorry. For avoiding you, for everything that I do. I know I annoyed you and do stupid things. I understand that you may hate me and you probably don't want to be around me anymore but I can't do that. I miss you more and more every single day. You don't need to do anything. I just want us to be back like we used to be."
She smiles and says, "it's about time"
They laughed together.
"Well I said what I want to say so I think I should go back to school" saying Taekwang
"Are you skipped class? The teacher will be furious about this"
"Ara but it's worth it. Hehehe" he smiles while saying that
"You're really crazy"
"Ara. Ok see you tomorrow"
"Wait."
"Something wro..."
Before he can finished his sentence, she suddenly hugs him.
"Thank you for putting up with my silliness."
She released the hug and says, "bye"
She runs inside her house.
Taekwang is bewildered and his knee becomes weak. His knee falls onto the ground.
"Ya! Do you want me to be dead?!"
His face becomes really red but he just can't stop smiling
***
At school, Taekwang was being punished. He has to clean the gym. Soo young comes to see him in the gym.
"Ya ya! You missed the spot there." Tease her
"Shut up! Why are you here?" Taekwang annoyingly
"Hahahaha. It's your own fault that you've been punished. Where were you actually?"
"Eunbi's"
"Eunbi's house? Why were you went there? Isn't she at the school?"
"That's not Eunbi, that's her twin sister, Eunbyul."
"What?! No wonder she looks like different person. She's so cold and kind of rude towards me."
"Ignore her. She just has a really bad temper."
"Araso. Why were you there? I thought.."
"Because I realize that this moving on plans is not working well. why must I continue pretending to ignore her when I miss her even more. I meant the whole plan is for me to get over her but all I can think about her. So I decide to do what I want."
"Oo okay. After all this time. You still like her."
He nods.
She faked her smile and says, "let me help you so you can finish it faster"
"Wow! You're a lifesaver"
They're cleaning the gym together and just matters of minutes, the gym becomes clean. Taekwang was dismissed and they go home together.
They arrive at Soo Young house. When Taekwang wants to go, Soo Young stop him.
"Gong Taekwang." says her
She smiles at him and hold his hands.
"Ya. Wae geurae?"
"Your hand is big." She smiles and she looks into his eyes. She continues saying, "it's hurt you know"
"Are you sick?" He looks concerned. He tries to realese his hand but she hold it more tightly.
She nods says, "my heart is in so much pain. You.. you should stop having crush on her." She looks into his eyes. She pull him and hugs him.
"Ya Soo Young" Taekwang feels bewildered
"Ara. I know what you will say. But still.. I like you.."
"Soo Young ah"
"I said I know. Just for moment"
