Soo Young sits in her room. She's been staying like that for almost half an hour. She's hesitated to go to school after what happened between her and Taekwang yesterday.

Suddenly she hears her dad yell her sister name, "Jiyoung!"

She runs towards her father and her sister. She sees her sister fainted. Her father carry her to their car and rush to the hospital.

***

Taekwang arrived late to his school. The teacher gives him a warning but he ignores it. He walks towards his seat and he sees an empty seat beside him. He thought to himself, 'that's Soo Young's but where's she? It's so unlike her to skipped class.'

He sits and began to worry about her. Eunbi sees his weird face. She noticed that Taekwang is worry about Soo Young.

During the break, Eunbi gets up from her chair and approach him. But before she reach him, he already gets up from his chair while carry his phone. It looks like he call someone. He left the classroom.

Taekwang is calling Soo Young and she answered it.

"Halo." she says

"Ya! Where are you?" Asks Taekwang

"In the hospital."

"Hospital?! Is something wrong? Are you okay?"

"My sister collapsed this morning."

"Is she okay?"

"She's still in the ICU. I.."

Taekwang heard her vulnerable voice. He says, "I'll be there soon. Just stay where you are." He runs and left the school.

Eunbi sees Taekwang from far. She sees how panicked Taekwang is. Shijin tap her shoulder, she asks "are you okay?"

"Ah. Yes" she nods and Taekwang was gone.

***

Taekwang just arrived at the hospital. He goes inside and meet Soo Young and his father. They look really worry.

Taekwang asks Soo Young about her sister condition, "how is she?"

Soo young answers, "She hasn't woke up." with her weak voice.

"She will be okay. Thank you for coming" her father said and he's assuring her daughter.

Soo Young nods and says, "she's tough girl. She will wake up soon."

"Soo Young, you haven't eat breakfast this morning. You should go with Taekwang to buy something to eat. Gong Taekwang, you wouldn't mind take her to eat right?"

"I am not hungry" she says

"I don't mind. C'mon let's go get a bite to eat." He pull her hand and take her to a cafe in the hospital.

He buys foods for her but she barely touch it.

"Soo Young, you don't like the food? Should I buy something else?"

"I'm not hungry. Let's go back"

"You should eat otherwise you're going to be sick. Your sister will be sad to see you like this."

"But.."

"Just a little bit more and we're going back to the ICU"

She nods and eats the rest of her food.

After she finished, they walk towards the ICU but before they arrive, Soo Young stop and ask him to go to other place first.

She goes to an empty hall. She stood and bow her head. She cries heart out.

"Mianhae. I don't want my dad to see me like this" she said while sobbing

Taekwang take a step foward and hug her. His hand tap her back gently.

"It's okay. I'm here for you."

***

The sun has already set, Taekwang goes to his home. From far away, he looks Eunbi stand in front of his house.

"Go Eunbi?"

She runs towards him and says, "I come here to bring your bag. You left on your desk."

"Did you wait for me? You should call or at least text me"

"I did but you haven't answered it."

"Ah mianhae. My cellphone is dead. I forgot to charge my phone."

"Did you wait long?" They walk together towards his home.

"Not really. I just finished helping my mom. How's Soo Young?"

"She's fine."

"If you wouldn't mind.. hmmm.. can I ask something?"

"Ya! Why are you so polite?! Ask me anything."

"Where were you?"

"I was in the hospital. Soo Young sister is sick."

"She must be really worry."

He nods. They arrive at his house. He asks Eunbi to come inside.

"Do you want to come?"

"I think I should go"

Taekwang grabs her hands and says, "can't you stay just a little while? I don't like eating dinner all by myself."

She nods and says, "araso"

They enter Taekwang house and his lady helper welcome them.

After dinner, Taekwang takes Eunbi to her house.

"Gong Taekwang, you shouldn't take me home. I can go by myself."

"Ara. I just want to spend more time with you."

She smiles and says, "did you worry about Soo Young?"

He nods and says, "ne. She looks really sad. I just couldn't leave her alone."

"You never change. Always kind. She's lucky to have you by her side."

"Ya! Don't give that look!"

"What look?"

"The look that sad look. The look that you're thinking of sacrificing something."

"I don't.."

"You think you can lie to me."

"She needs you..."

"And how about me? Who do you think I need now? Soo young or you?"

"I don't know.."

"Pabo!" He approach her and hugs her.

Eunbi is surprise but she doesn't resist it.

"I would be lie if I said that she didn't meant anything to me. My feeling to you is never change but I also worry about her. I know you probably hate me when I said this to you but..." he releases his hug and put his hands on her shoulder. He continues saying, "but I don't want to lie. I don't want to make you sad or wondering the unnecessary things. And I know that I probably out of my mind to ask you this but will you wait for me?"

Eunbi looks at him and when she wants to say something. Her sister yells from behind

"Ya! What're you doing?! Put away your filthy hand off my sister!"

They're surprised and Taekwang put away his hands.

"Ya! Witch! You don't need to shout. I was really shocked."

Eunbyul pull her sister hands and says

"Let's go inside. And you imbecile! Stay away from my sister."

Eunbi stop her and says, "unnie, you can go inside first. I'll come in few minutes"

"Eunbi ah."

"Please. Let me talk to him"

Eunbyul release her hand and leaves. She enters her house.

"That evil witch!"

"Mianhae.. hmm.. Gong Taekwang, are you going to hospital tomorrow?"

He nods and says, "i will go to hospital after school."

"Araso." She smiles and continues her saying, "it's getting late. I should go inside."

"Okay. I'm going. Bye.."

"Hmmm wait." She approach him and kiss his cheek. She says, "don't make me wait too long."

His eyes become big and he just look at him.

"Ya! You can't do this to me!"

"Wae?"

"First the hug and now this. Do you want me to die from heart attack?"

"So you don't like it?"

"Ani! I'm not saying that. I just."

"Just what?"

"Just.. ya! Its snowing!" The snow is falling.

"It's the first snow!" Eunbi sounds really excited.

"Ah what the hell!" Taekwang said while pull her closely. He puts his hand on her cheeks and kiss her lips.

Eunbi eyes pop out from her head.

It's only a few seconds but it feels like the time has stop.

Taekwang takes one step back and he bite his lip. He gulped and he tries to say something but he just lost his words.

"Hmmm.. Eunbi ah.."

She looks at him with her mouth and eyes wide open.

"I.. just hit me" he said while close his eyes

Eunbi doesn't do anything. She just stare at him.

"I'm going then.."

He turn his body around and he can't stop smiling.

Eunbi sees Taekwang left and she enters her house. She touch her lips and smiles.

***

The next day, Taekwang behaves like nothing has happened. He greets Eunbi just like he always do. On the other hand, Eunbi face becomes really red when she hears Taekwang calling her name. Taekwang who noticed it was giggles and smiles like crazy.

However when the school is over, Eunbi sees him runs to the hospital. And it was like this for the next day and the next day. Until she realizes its already a winter break.

Luckily her sister is here. Eunbyul and Yi Ahn are inseparable. They always spend time together. Eunbi joins them once in awhile. When she looks at them laughing and teasing each other, she feels at ease somehow. She knows that her feelings towards him is already gone. She looks at the snow outside and suddenly her cheeks become hot. She shake her head to forget the kiss.

Her phone is ringing and it's Taekwang. He is waiting outside her house.

She open the door and greet him.

"Sorry to bother you, but yesterday you said that you're going to Tongyeong this weekend."

She nods and says, "ne. Majayo"

"I have some gifts for them but I don't think I can go there. I will spend Christmas with Soo Young and her family. Can you give these to them?"

"Of course. They will be happy."

"Thank you." He smiles at her

"Gong Taekwang, how is her sister condition?"

"She's stable now. She gained her consciousness yesterday."

"Glad to hear it."

"So how's everything?"

"Good."

"Do you miss me?" He tease her and gives her a smirk.

"Ani." She lies

"Sigh." He pouted

"Do you want to come inside. We're watching movie."

"We?"

"Me, unnie and Yi Ahn"

"He's here?" His voice sounds irritate

She nods, she pulls his hand and say, "come. It will be fine"

He stop her hand and put his hand on hers. He says, "next time okay? I'm exhausted and tomorrow I have to get up really early to meet my dad. I don't think I have the energy to see your evil sister and Yi Ahn."

"Araso." She says with disappointment in her voice

"I'm going then." He said but he doesn't release his hand.

"Okay. Ya! Gong Taekwang, you should put more clothes. It's getting colder every day." She says but she doesn't pull out her hand either

"Araso. It's snowing Eunbi ah." He says with his smirk face

Her face becomes really red and she pulls her hand. She says, "I'm going inside."

She runs and enter her house.

"Hahaha." He laughed and left her house.

***

It's Christmas, Taekwang arrives at the hospital and he sees Soo Young beside her sister. Ji Young is getting better. Soo Young and her sister are laughing together. Taekwang approach them and join their fun.

After awhile, he and Soo Young left Ji Young room. Her father is with her. They go to a restaurant near the hospital.

"I'm hungry" says him after ordering foods

"Ya! Gong Taekwang."

"Ne. What is it?"

"I met Eunbi."

"Eunbi? She went to Tongyeong two days ago."

"She came here before she goes to Tongyeong. She visited me and my sister. She brought us foods. She looks concerned when she saw my sister."

"Ne. She always like that."

"It's really hard for me to say it but I think I have to do the right thing. I'm happy that you are here, by myside, even though you want to be with her. I know that it's not a losing battle anymore between you and her. She doesn't need to told me anything but I can see it."

"I want to be here. I like spending time with you."

"Do you like me?" she said firmly

He sighs and says, "I honestly don't know. I worry about you and you make me feel that I'm not alone. But I can't stop thinking about Eunbi."

"Just like I thought."

"I remember when I had to deal with my parents divorced, you always on my side. Even though I did many crazy things to get my parents attention, you always help me get through it. And when you're gone, I feel so lonely and lost but then I met her. You are my childhood friend and we have history but.."

"But.. I hate that word.. ara.. time is not a measure for love. We may be have tons of memories but the one that you always remember is the memories of you and her."

"Mianhae."

"Don't be. I was happy even for awhile. You always meant so much for me and always will do. I won't forget our special memories. Thank you for all the things you've done to make me happy."
