Seungcheol brought Jeonghan home after the fun and memorable experience at the Theme Park. It's almost midnight when they reached Jeonghan's apartment.

"I guess, I'll see you tomorrow?" Seungcheol said, as he got out of the car and Jeonghan did so too.

"Tomorrow?" Jeonghan asked, looking so confused. He clearly forgot about their deal. "Yeah, one of our rules." Seungcheol said, and Jeonghan finally remembered.

"Fine, see you tomorrow." Jeonghan replied and slightly smiled. He then opened the gate of the apartment. He went inside and that's the signal for Seungcheol to leave.

"Good night, Yoon Jeonghan," Seungcheol mumbled to himself before letting out a small smile and hopping inside his car. He drove away with that little smile on his face.

The next day was the day. Jeonghan woke up early. Still no texts or any calls from Sowon, just 2 unread messages from Joshua and Seungkwan.

Jeonghan took a look at his watch, "Yah! Moon Junhui! I'm heading out now." Jeonghan yelled so his roommate could hear him. He immediately went out and rushed to the bus stop. He doesn't want to be late.

The bus stops and Jeonghan immediately went in to catch up with the time. He sat at the seat near the door so he can get out at ease.

Few minutes later, he reached Sowon's house. He knocked twice before someone opened the door for him. The guy that Sowon was with yesterday night. "Who is this?" The guy asked.

Jeonghan couldn't speak at first, then came back to his senses that he needs to answer this guy of course. "I-I'm Jeonghan, Sowon's boyfriend."

"Oh, come on in." The guy said and Jeonghan made his way inside. He saw Sowon packing some things up in the living room.

"Sojung-ah, someone's here." The guy said as soon as he walked in. Sojung-ah? Jeonghan wondered. Sojung is Sowon's real name, Sowon is just a nickname that she got for being famous for her modeling skills, because every man wishes to have her as their girlfriend.

"Oh, who is it, Eunwoo?" Sowon asked as she's still packing some stuff up. "He said he's your boyfriend." the guy named Eunwoo replied and pointed at Jeonghan who walked in behind him.

"Jeonghan-ah!" Sowon squealed and immediately rushed into Jeonghan's arms. He hugged her, and so did her. She hugged him tightly.

"Come, let's eat some first." Sowon said as she released the hug. She dragged him inside by pulling him while their hands intertwined. Jeonghan sat at the couch, and Eunwoo followed them.

"Let me get some juice." Sowon said and left. She went to the kitchen to get some juice, not only for Jeonghan but also for Eunwoo.

"I didn't know Sojung has a boyfriend." Eunwoo said. He crossed both of his arms and put his left leg on his right leg.

"But now, you already know." Jeonghan couldn't help but let out a sarcastic tone. He's just too pissed off with this guy in front of him.

Jeonghan remembered last night that he saw him with his girlfriend in the middle of the night, walking side by side.

I mean, for a guy like him who has such a beautiful girlfriend, and then this heavenly looking guy suddenly shows up? He remembers Joshua saying that he should be confident, but this very good looking guy in front of him is different. He's like an angel that just fell from heaven.

"Here are your juices," Sowon came back with a tray in her hands. Jeonghan immediately stood up and helped her to carry the tray. "Thank you, Jeonghan-ah. You're really sweet." Sowon smiled so sweetly in front of him. Eunwoo rolled his eyes on them.

"So I guess you haven't met each other yet. Jeonghan, this is Eunwoo, my modeling partner. Eunwoo, this is Jeonghan, my boyfriend." Sowon introduced them to each other.

Jeonghan smirked and offered his hand to Eunwoo, "Nice to meet you, Eunwoo-ssi," he tried so hard not to sound too sarcastic, but it couldn't be helped. He's not that glad for this guy's existence in Sowon's life. "Nice to meet you too, Jeonghan-ssi," Eunwoo accepted his hand and shook it slowly. Eunwoo forced out a smile just for Sowon to see that he's not also glad to meet Jeonghan.

"Eunwoo's coming with me in Japan. So you don't have to worry about me, Jeonghan-ah." Sowon said, assuring Jeonghan her own safety. But Jeonghan couldn't help but to worry more. Eunwoo isn't a relative, but a modeling partner.

"I hope he takes care of you as a colleague. You're modeling partners after all." Jeonghan replied, and let out a fake smile towards Eunwoo. Eunwoo smirked at him.

Jeonghan already knew that Eunwoo is someone that he can be insecure of. Sowon is such a gorgeous lady, and there's no surprise if Eunwoo won't see her as just a colleague.

-

The three of them, together with Sowon's friend, Eunha, and Sowon's mother, are now in the airport. They're now waiting for their departure time.

"I can't believe that I will be so far away from you for more than two months." Jeonghan said and held both of her hands, he squeezed it. "Two months is short. Trust me," Sowon said and let go of Jeonghan's right hand and caressed Jeonghan's cheeks. Jeonghan held her left hand with his right hand and caressed it more on his cheeks. Sowon smiled so sweetly at him while looking at Jeonghan's sad eyes.

"Don't be sad. I will come back for you. And for you always." Sowon said and planted a peck on Jeonghan's right cheek. "I want you to take care always, okay? I will be gone by your side for two months. I'll always on check you through Seungkwan." Sowon said and acted like an angry mom in front of Jeonghan. Jeonghan laughed at her gestures.

"I will always do." Jeonghan replied and caressed her cheeks. It was such a good scene, when someone stepped in.

"Oh, you're here!" The familiar voice gave Jeonghan a surprised look. It was Seungcheol.

"Oh? Jeonghan, you're close with our school's famous guy?" Sowon asked, with a confused look. Jeonghan gave Seungcheol a what-are-you-doing-here? look. Seungcheol shrugged and whispered to him, "Aren't you gonna tell her?"

"Tell me what?" Sowon asked, really confused with the situation. Seungcheol cleared his throat.

"It's just that.." Jeonghan was about to tell her when Seungcheol wrapped his arms on Jeonghan as if they were bros, "I have an agreement with Jeonghan. He needs to help me get rid of my ex-girlfriend. And he needs to pretend to be my boyfriend. I hope that's fine? Don't worry it's just a deal and he's getting money out of it." Seungcheol naturally explained and Sowon was shocked and confused. But she laughs it off.

"Why didn't you tell me, Jeonghan-ah? It's totally fine with me. Plus, it's just an agreement to help Choi Seungcheol right here. That's not a big deal." Sowon smiled and Seungcheol did so too. Jeonghan let out an awkward smile. This is awkward. Jeonghan thought.

"I'll wait for you outside," Seungcheol whispered in Jeonghan's ear and walked away. Jeonghan turned his head on Sowon.

"Is it really fine with you? I'll back out if it's not okay with you." Jeonghan said and looked at her directly in her eyes with a worried look and took both of her hands and squeezed them.

"Of course. Besides, it's Seungcheol. He's a guy. You're both guys." Sowon chuckled, and so did Jeonghan but his worries didn't fade.

"But still," Jeonghan's worry won't fade and disappear. His fear with Sowon's feelings is dominant right now. "Look, Han. It's really fine with me. I know you're a straight guy and you love me more than anything. So it's really fine with me. Besides, you can earn some money with that." Sowon said, showing that she really understands and that she's really fine with it.

"I was about to tell you this but I couldn't find any right timing for it. But okay, Seungcheol spilled about it already," Jeonghan said and chuckled. Sowon laughed it off and looked straight into Jeonghan's eyes.

"Now, I want you to promise again," Sowon said and held Jeonghan's hands this time. She leaned in closer to Jeonghan,

"Once I come back, please promise me that I still have someone to run back to. Please wait for me."
