Min Jun leaves for Cassandra to return Siwon's borrowed car to pick himself up at the airport. Hearing that Cassandra intends to come along but she wants Min Jun to drive her to meet Hyun Su. Min Jun tells Cassandra Hyun Su not to live in her former home anymore. He's moved out. Cassandra asks Min Jun to drive her to the house Hyun Su is in now. At Cassandra's request, Min Jun dropped her off in front of Hyun Su's house. Cassandra rang the bell several times impatiently. Hyun Su who was inside the house was irritated and intended to scold anyone who was behind the door. But the door opened ....
"Why so long? My feet until sore waiting for you to open the door," Cassandra's scolding that directly penetrated into the house. Hyun Su was stunned for a while.
"Cassandra?" hyun Su said as soon as he realized who the lady who was cheering in was.
"Why confused is that? You forgot about me, huh? Never called or asked about me?" cassandra said it was innocent.
"When are you coming home? And ... Who brought you here?" ask Hyun Su
"Not asking how I used to be, but asking me something else" Cassandra grumbled.
"By the way your new house is more comfortable and tidy, by the way" he continued after looking around at Hyun Su's house for a while.
"I've lived here a long time!" hyun Su clearly looked cute.
"I asked Min Jun to drive me here. Sorry to interrupt. I just want to know how you are. I'm glad to see you're okay! Even now you look much better than you used to. I also heard from Min Jun that you already have a boyfriend. I'm happy, too" said Cassandra.
"Chih ... The complainant," muttered Hyun Su.
"You don't get mad at him. I forced him to tell stories. His words to me made me feel guilty. I think I should see you to apologize" Cassandra said.
"Why do you feel guilty about apologizing? Don't we have any relationship?" hyun Su asked.
"Hyun Su, you know clearly the reason I went to HK. I'm not saying goodbye to you because you don't seem to care, don't even give me a reason to stay here. At the time, I was hoping you would say something to me. I just don't want to keep hoping. That's all!" Cassandra explained.
"Over these three years we have not told each other at all. I doubt if we're still friends now?" cassandra.
"Aren't we friends before? It feels like there is no reason for me to antagonize you," Hyun Su replied flatly.
Cassandra did not answer. He still feels something different.
"Here you go, after all, it's all over. There was no point in bringing up the past," Hyun Su finished the topic.
"Yes, you're right" Cassandra chimed in with a bland smile.

Before Cassandra went to HK, Hyun Su and Cassandra were very close. Early Hyun Su met Cassandra when she visited Siwon's house. Cassandra is Siwon's cousin. Cassandra is only a year older than Siwon. Since he knew Cassandra, Hyun Su often took her outside and the two often walked together. Min Jun often mocked Hyun Su and Cassandra as lovers. Hyun Su did have feelings for Cassandra but she never revealed them. Cassandra who also likes Hyun Su is not sure that Hyun Su also likes her and considers her only a close friend.
Time pass. One day, a letter from Yoon's aunt in HK came. Yoon's aunt is Siwon's stepmother. Siwon's mother died when he was a child and his father remarried. Yoon's aunt offers Siwon and Cassandra to HK to help her manage her newly opened store while studying business.
Shortly after Siwon's father remarried, he and his new wife moved to HK. Siwon chose to stay in Seoul. It just so happened that the Cassandra family who lived in a small town moved to Seoul. Siwon lives with them. Siwon and Cassandra grew up together. Auntie Hong, Cassandra's mother, died a few years ago of an illness. To treat the sadness of his mother's death, Cassandra took the opportunity. Moreover, uncle Kim-his father also agreed. Siwon was not interested at first, but thanks to Cassandra's persuasion he finally went.
A few days before leaving Cassandra met Hyun Su. She hoped the man she liked would say something to her before she left, but he didn't.
"Hyun Su, I got an offer from Aunt Yoon to manage her new store in HK. And I'll go with Siwon," said Cassandra.
"So, are you going to HK?" hyun Su asked clarifying.
"How long?" ask Hyun Su.
"I don't know. I don't know how long it's going to be there" replied Cassandra. Hyun Su was silent for quite a long time hearing Cassandra's reply.
"You don't want to tell me anything?" ask Cassandra who was initially hesitant.
"Said what? That's your decision" Hyun Su replied normally even though he didn't want Cassandra to leave.
"Yes, you're right. What did I say?! So stupid!" cassandra said more to herself.
"Can't you stay here?" hyeon Su asked doubtfully.
"For what?" Cassandra asked back. He looked at Hyun Su meaningfully.
"It's okay," Hyun Su replied as he turned his face away. He doesn't know how to say it.
"If you can't give me a reason to stay, don't tell me to stay. We have nothing to do anyway. We are just ordinary friends no more" said Cassandra clearly. Even though he himself had disappointment in his heart.
Hyun Su looked at Cassandra then turned his face away. Cassandra's words at that time felt so piercing her heart until now.
"Yes, you're right. We are just ordinary friends" Hyun Su chimed in with hurt feelings. Cassandra immediately left without saying anything to Hyun Su.
A few days later Cassandra left for HK without saying goodbye to Hyun Su. From that day until now, the two never told each other.

Aira and Yun-bi cross paths in the dressing room as Yun-bi is done working. Aira intercepts Yun-bi's path and holds her back from leaving first.
"Yun-bi, why didn't you tell me you already had a boyfriend?" ask Aira sebal.
"Who told you?" Yun-bi asked back.
"Yoon Wu told me. He said yesterday you went to Jinhae with a man. As far as I know you don't have any male friends outside the cafe. So, you really have a boyfriend?" aira was curious.
"Yes," replied Yun-bi timidly.
"You're not telling me this!" aira says while tickling Yun-bi's waist makes Yun-bi laugh amusedly.
"Stop it. I didn't get to tell you! You know we rarely meet because of the difference in working time" Yun-bi said.
"Just tell me everything once you get the chance" said Aira.
"Yes. Sure is!" Yun-bi promised. Only then did Aira let Yun-bi go.
