"Ya! Michyeosseo?!" yells Taekwang
"Wae? I didn't said anything wrong. Didn't you remember when we're little, I said to you that I will marry you" said Soo Young nonchalantly
"Beside, you agreed with the idea. You said, and I quote, 'Okay'. And also we already did everything together.. I even saw you naked. I meant I already know you. Outside and inside." She continued teases him.
"Ya! That's 13 years ago!" said Taekwang
"Ne, majayo! See you also remembered."

13 years ago
Two little children play in the playground. One of them ate an ice cream happily, while the other seems bitter.
"Soo Young, is the ice cream good?" Asked Taekwang
"Ne! It's really good" said Soo Young
"Can I have some?" Begged Taekwang
"Ani-yo" tease Soo Young
"Wae?" Said Taekwang with his puppy eyes
"You sick. Your mom said I can't give it to you no matter what."
"Jeh-bahl. Just this one"
"Hmmm.. but you have to be my husband."
"You really like playing house. Don't you?"
"Ne!"
"Okay"
"Yakssok?"
"Araso"
Soo Young pulls Taekwang's little finger and create a knot with their little finger. She then gives her ice cream to Taekwang. She smiles at him while he enjoyed his ice cream.

"Ah cem, how's your mom?" Said Taekwang. He plans to divert their conversations. He feels uncomfortable, mainly because Eunbi seems to look at him so annoyingly.
"Ah my mom? She's passed away." Said Soo Young
"Ah mianhaeyo." Said Taekwang
"I'm sorry to hear it" said Eunbi
"Gwenchana, it's been years actually. She died peacefully in her favorite place. You know, that's why we moved to Jeju."
The bells rang loudly and break the silence between them.
"Well it's time to go back to class" said Soo Young nonchalantly.
"Do we have to?" Said Taekwang with heavy heart
"Yes we have." Said Eunbi firmly
Soo Young push Taekwang back and said, "c'mon it would be fun"
"Jeez.. are you crazy? What so fun about science?!" grumbled Taekwang
**
After school, Taekwang goes to his English course. He needs to practice his english before he moves to USA. He hasn't said about his plan to study aboard to Eunbi. It's not because he doesn't want to but he doesn't know how to said it directly to her. Beside, she probably doesn't care whether he's going or stay. And she also never asks him about his future plan so why bother telling her.
It was two hours of hell for him. His head full with words that he doesn't understand most of it.
"I need to reboot my brain. Let's bother Eunbi. She's probably in her mom's shop."

Taekwang, start to press his phone but he stop. He then shout, "Soo Young!"
"Taekwang?" Said Soo Young
"What are you doing? Are you also take a lesson here?" Asked Taekwang
"Ne! Majayo. You also? What a coincidence?!" Said Soo Young
"Are you going home?" Asked Taekwang
"Ani. I want to do something fun first and then home. Do you want to come?"
"Sure! Where do you want to go?"
"Just follow me" said soo young with bright smile in her face. She pull Taekwang's hand but Taekwang pull back his hand.
"Just show me" said Taekwang while walks
Soo young was taken back for awhile. She then smile and said "Ya! Wait for me"
They take a bus and minutes later, they get off and start to walk again. Not far from the bus stop, they arrive at the playground.
"Wow.. it's been awhile" said Taekwang
"Do you know this place?" Said Soo Young
"Of course, it's the playground that we used to play."
"Ne! Majayo"
Soo young runs to the swing and sit in one of the swing.
"Do you remember that you always push the swing for me?"
"Jeez! You force me to push you?!"
"Hahaha.. it's your fault that always lose on rock-paper-scissors. You really terrible play that games"
"Shut up!"
"Haha.. Taekwang-ah, are you planning to study aboard?"
"Ne! Wae? Do you also to right? I meant that's why you take the course."
"I don't know. My dad wants me to go and deep down I also want it but.."
"But why?"
"I don't know if I have guts to leave my sister. I don't think I can."
"Is something wrong with your sister?"
"She's stomach cancer just like mom did. The doctor recently found it when she suddenly collapsed. That's the reason we're back to Seoul so she can get the best treatment." Said Soo Young with her forced smile.
Taekwang sits beside her. He starts to play the swing slowly. He said, "what about your sister? Did she wants you to study aboard?"
"She does. She talked happily and said that she will be waiting for me. That silly girl"
"Just like her silly sister right? So there's nothing to worry about. You need to do what you wants, I bet that's what your sister wants."
"Woah. Is this really Taekwang? A boy that always hide behind his mom."
"Shut up! I am a cool guy now."
"Hahaha.. cool?! Pabo is the right word for you?"
"Ya! Jugule?!"
"My dear Taekwang, let me tell you something." She stands and stop Taekwang swing. She puts her hand on his shoulder and continue said, "only an idiot who's waiting for the impossible to happen. She already has a boyfriend, pabo."

"How do you..?"
"How do I know? Simple because I'm a psychic. " jokes Soo Young
"Ya!"
"Hahaha. Only a fool who can't see it. You pretend to sleep but smiling while looking at her. Your eyes maybe close but when it opens I saw you couple of time staring at her."
"Is it obvious?"
"Ne! Don't you think it's time to moved on?"
"Ya! You think I want to be like this? My mind wants to moved on but my heart can't let go."
"You need to stop looking back and see a beautiful view in front of you. I will help you if you want."

The next morning, Eun bi and Yi Ahn ride the bus together.
"Did Eun byul tell you that she just got a perfect score in her test?" said Yi Ahn
"Ne! She's so smart. I wish I have her brain."
"She might be smart but her attitude is just... but luckily she has a lot of friends so she didn't feel so lonely there. She misses you. She tells me everyday on the phone."
Eun bi just smile when she heard it. It's been a month since they're together but most of their conversations is about Eun Byul. It's not that she didn't like it. It just makes her wonder, is it really her that Yi Ahn like.
"Is there something wrong?" Asks Yi Ahn.
"Hah?! Aniyo"
"I have a free time after school today, should we watch a movie?"
"Sure. It sounds fun"
They arrive at their school. She sees Taekwang and Soo Young walk together. Soo Young pulls his hand and drag him to school. Suddenly, her chest hurts.
"Who is she? The girl clinging to Taekwang." asks Yi Ahn
"She's Soo Young. A new student in our class. Apparently she and Taekwang are childhood friends." says Song Joo who was behind Yi Ahn and Eun Bi.
"Halo Yi Ahn! Welcome back" says Song Joo
"Thanks." says Yi Ahn.
The three of them walk to their class. Not long after, the ball ring. The teacher enter and they begin their study.
During the lunch, Soo Young join Eun bi, Shi Jin and Song Joo eat lunch together. Not long after they're finished, Yi ahn comes with a gift from their junior.
"It's for you." says Yi Ahn to Eunbi
"Gomawo." smiles Eunbi
"Halo. You must be Han Yi Ahn" says Soo Young
"Yes I am, and you are.."
"I'm Park Soo Young"
"Nice to meet you."
"Waaa.. you are really tall."
"Gomawo."
"No wonder, she chooses you." says Soo Young in low voice
"Hah? Do you says something?"
"Aniyo. I just happy to see you." she says with her happy smile.
***
"I'm bored" says Taekwang while tossing his book to his bed.
"I need a fresh air." he gets up and grabs his wallet and phone. He walks towards a park. He sees a vending machine and he put some coins there and push a button. He takes his coffee can and starts to drink it.
"Should I call her? No no.. I have to stop bothering her." he mumbles in his heart. It's not easy for him to let go a girl that already changes him. If only she's not kind to me, if only she acts like her twin sister. He walks while Soo Young voice starts to fill his mind.
"Moved on huh? It's easy for her to say it." grumbles Taekwang.
He walks and walks. He hasn't realized that his feet move towards Eunbi house. And then suddenly he stop.
"Where am I? ah damn. I walk too far. Wait! isn't this near Eunbi's house?"
He turn around and he heard Eunbi and Yi Ahn voice from behind. He then ran to hide from them. He just doesn't want to be seen right now. He already succeeded avoid her at the school today.
Yi Ahn drop her off at the gate of her house. They talk and smile to each other.
"I must be really stupid, thinking that I might have a chance. She looks really happy with him. Soo Young is right." says Taekwang in his heart. He sighed but when he starts to walk away from them. He sees Yi Ahn kiss her cheek. He just smile bitterly. "Damn it's hurt." says Taekwang.
Eun bi looks shock and she takes a small step back. Yi ahn then waves goodbye and goes back to his home while Eun bi enters her home.
Taekwang makes sure that they're both leave. He walks towards his home and when he arrives at his house. He sits for quite some time. He didn't said anything, he didn't do anything. He just sits quietly and then he calls someone.
"Halo."
"You say you will help me right?"
"Taekwang? Is something wrong?"
"Will you help me? Help me to moved on"
***
Epilogue
Yi ahn and Eun bi arrived at her house.
"Thank you for tonight. I have fun." says Yi Ahn
"Me too." says Eun bi smiled towards him
"Have good night sleep." says Yi Ahn. He then turn around but he stop. He sees someone near them. The guy hides behind the walls. Just like him before when he wanted to gave Eunbi the medal. "Isn't that Taekwang?" He wonders.
He then turn around. He grab Eun bi hands and kiss her cheek.
She looks shocked and didn't said anything.
