"Jun Serine", she was in the lab with YuChan when San looking for her. "San-ah", she looked at him as the male help her with her dislocated shoulder before he took some blood test of her. "Are you looking for me?", she asked him as he looked at her; curious. "Why did you run a blood test?. Is everything okay?", he asked worried as she just smiled. "Everything is fine, Choi San", she said lied to him. "Actually I have something to talk to you", he said as YuChan just smiled knowing about what he wanted to asked her."You should go now, kid", he said to her as she just smiled back at YuChan. "Your work is done here though", he said to her."Arasseo", Serine then being dragged by San going to the alleyway as he stopped and looked at her. She can't recognized his look. He wasn't mad but he wasn't happy either to see her.

"I'm the one who should ask you", she said as the male looked at her. "You heard something about me, don't you?", he looked surprised as if she read his mind. "It's about the bet you made with YunHo", he finally let out his statement. "Why did you do such bet like that?. Was my love to you was just a joke?. You think that I like you was just a game for you?", he was disappointed with her but he didn't know how to be mad at her.

No.

He just can't stay mad at her.

"I didn't know what was on your mind, Choi San", she said to him. "I didn't know whether you really like me because I'm Jun Serine or you thought of your fiance when you're seeing me. And that's what I always thought of, Sannie", she said as he looked at her sighing. "I'm scared to get hurt again. To left alone", she finally confessed to him."You're the first person who trying so hard on making friends with me not because you wanted to be protected just like the other. Everyone in here know that I can't feel any physical  pain but yet you're worry and care whenever I got hurt", she said. "You made me smile when I had so many worry in my mind. You made me feel like I'm having someone to be loved and care about me", he just stood in silence. "But all those dream crushed just like that when I heard that you had a fiance and I can't bear to be a third wheeler. A relationship destroyer", she said to him."But the one that is here with me now is you, not her", he assured her trying to hold her hand but she yanked his hand. "I know but one day you will have to go back home. You said to me back then you didn't know whether she's still alive or not but what if she's still alive and waiting for you while you and I, we've been together already?", she asked him. "You will have to leave me and choose her because I'm not your first", she said sighing. "I told you, I don't want to be left alone. Not after what I've been through–", her word stuck as he hugged her. "You love me too. That's enough for me", he said smiled as he started to cry. "I won't let you go, Jun Serine", he said and she could feel her shoulder clothes is wet. He was cried and she hugged him back.

...

"I want to learn using gun", he asked as she looked at him confused. "Gabjagi?", he nodded. "Arasseo. I'll let Hwa know so he could teach you", he looked at her."Hwa hyung didn't know how to use them. But you are", he said wanting her to teach him."Ani. I just thought Hwa how to use them. He seems like a pro", she said to him. "The way held the gun looks like he's a professional shooter", she compliment his older member as his face changed and Serine realised them. "Are you jealous that I'm complimenting your hyung?", he nodded at her question.

"Every girl would fall for him. He's perfect in almost everything", he said to her. "He has a happy ongoing family, he's a neat person, he can cook very well, nice and gentle too. Not to mention he can fight well", he looked down lost his confidence.

He was scared of thought Serine will fall for SeongHwa charm and Serine knew how insecure he would feel when he said things about his brother. "But he's not Choi San. And he won't act cute all the time like how Choi San would always do to make Jun Serine smile", her word made him raised his head and smiled. "Still want to learn this?", she asked holding the gun and San nodded cutely and she laughed seeing his sudden action.

...

"Let's get some sleep now kids", SeongHwa said as they just smiled. "What about San?", WooYoung asked as the other looked at his bed. "He will came back since his Shiber is here. We all know how he can't stay away from his favourite plushie", YeoSang said. "But still–", YunHo sighed. "I shouldn't made those bet. San would be so devastated by right now. He must be angry toward me", he said and HongJoong patted his back. "Aniya. I know my hyung. He won't stay mad especially when it's about people he loved", JongHo said.

...

It was almost 2.45 in the morning and the leader wake up just to see one of member wasn't in his bed. "Hwa", he shook the older to wake up as he opened his eyes looked at the leader; panicked. "San is missing", as he said that, the leader eyes wide opened. "He might've gone elsewhere in this facility", he said trying to calmed him down. "But he's not in here. What if something happen to him?. You know how much people in here being hate by the safe mainland people", he said as the leader wake up. Sighing. "Let us go and look for him", HongJoong said to him. "The kids need to rest. Don't wake them up", he said stopping SeongHwa from waking up the rest of the member as the two walked out from the room wandering around the facility looking for the missing San."He might've slept elsewhere since he's so mad about us didn't tell him about the bet especially toward YunHo", HongJoong said. "I don't know, Joong-ah", he sighed with their eyes wandering around the place looking for San. "A lot of things happen and I don't want to lose another person that I cared of", he said and HongJoong knew what does he meant by that."Manager-nim death wasn't your fault, Hwa", he said to him."I know but I should've paid more attention and helped him back then but I let him carried all those responsibility alone when I'm the older of ATEEZ–", his word stopped when the two walked through Serine room. "I don't think he would be in there", he said to him.

"I was right", he said as they take a peek in her room.
