Taehyun and Kai spot Beomgyu walking beside a girl. They stare at each other confused and immediately call out to their friend. The shaggy haired boy stops and glance at Taehyun and Heuning Kai. The duo walks over to Beomgyu and Chaewon and point over to the girl. "Care to explain?" Taehyun wonders.

Chaewon looks at the two boys and extends her hand towards them. "Yoo Chaewon. It's nice to meet Beomgyu's friends," she introduces herself.

Heuning Kai shakes her hand and says, "It's nice to meet you too. I'm Heuning Kai and this is Kang Taehyun." The boy gestures next to him.

"How do you know Beomgyu-hyung?" Taehyun asks.

Chaewon purses her lips together as she thinks. Her eyes drift over to Beomgyu to see if he's okay with her telling his friends. He motions for Chaewon to tell them already. The girl with a bob glances back to Beomgyu's current friends. "We were childhood friends," she says.

"Were?" Taehyun repeats.

"We had a falling out a while ago, but we just reconnected," Beomgyu cuts in. "I really hate to do this, but we have to go see my mom now. Sorry that you guys can't ask her more questions."

Chaewon bows to Taehyun and Kai. "It was nice meeting you two," she says.

"See you guys at school." Beomgyu waves to his friends, grab Chaewon's hand and start to pull her away from his friends.

Taehyun and Kai stare at each other once again. "Do you think something more is going on between them?" Taehyun wonders.

Heuning Kai stares at Beomgyu and Chaewon walking away from them. He shrugs. "Hyung says they're friends. Why should we believe anything different?" Kai goes to look at pants.

Taehyun stares at them a little longer. "Well, I think there's something more going on between them," he utters to himself. Then he strolls over to Heuning Kai.

Beomgyu and Chaewon make it to the exit/ entrance of the mall. They leave the maze of a shopping center, but are stopped moments after stepping outside. Heesung steps in front of Chaewon, so apologetic for what he said.

"Chaewon, I didn't mean to strike any sort of cord with you by saying that," Heesung says. "I was just curious, that's all."

Chaewon hums and bites her lip. "You were curious," she mumbles. She stares into his coffee colored eyes and takes a deep breath in. "I really need you not to tell anyone about your curiosity."

Heesung nods. "I'll keep this to myself."

"You really can't tell anyone. I'd have to leave again and I don't want to do that."

"I don't want you to go," he says. "I won't tell anyone. I promise."

Chaewon nods. "Good."

"I'll take you back home now."

Chaewon shakes her head. "It's alright. I'm going to go over to Beomgyu's house for a bit."

Heesung glances over to the black haired boy standing rather close to them. Beomgyu smiles and waves to the boy.

"You're going to hang out with him? I thought he hated you?"

Beomgyu inserts himself between Heesung and Chaewon. "I don't hate her... anymore. I have forgiven her for what she did. Now, if you don't mind, I would like to hang out with my friend."

"He's really okay with you?" Heesung looks pass Beomgyu to Chaewon. "Do you want me to go with you?"

Chaewon shakes her head. "I trust him. I'll be fine. Have a safe trip back home."
