The rain started pouring hard, so as their feelings. They kissed. It felt like the rain washed away all the pain of yesterday. But who is she kidding? They can never go back, it's too late. As much as she wants to continue the heat of the moment, she pulled back, pushing Jeongwon away, breaking the kiss.

"No, we shouldn't do this. I'm sorry."She tried to walk away, but he caught her hand, pulled her closer making him hug her from behind. As Gyeoul struggles to break away from the hug, still sobbing, voice cracking, he uttered,

"Gyeoulah..I can explain..please let me explain,"

"Jeongwon-ssi, please let me go."

"I'm sorry. It's just..Gyeulah, please..give me a chance."

"You had all your chances before, but what did you do? You left, remember? You just fuckin' left."

"I know, I was a coward. I'm sorry. It's just I had a lot in mind, I don't know what to do. It was just too much for me to handle, I was hurti-"

"I was hurting too. It tears me to pieces every time. I am your girlfriend..ani, I was your girlfriend. I was there Jeongwon, on your side, but you..pushed me away. You pushed everyone away."

"Gyeoul-ah, I'm sorry."

Gyeol started hitting his chest with her right fist while still sobbing. Jeongwon felt the pain, but he knew that pain wasn't enough compared to what she experienced.

"I was so mad. So mad at myself…I blamed myself for everything…I was scared…why….why did you leave?"

The sky started to clear, and the pouring stopped. Jeongwon grasp her fist, she looked at him, tears were falling from their eyes. His other hand cupped her face, God knows how he missed doing that and wiped her dampen cheeks from tears and rain and finally encapsulated her in his arms.

"I was wrong Gyeoulah. I thought I was strong, that I can handle everything. I got stubborn and pushed everyone away. It was too late when I realized that you and my friends were always there for me. That you understand me. Especially you. I'm sorry I doubted you, I'm sorry that I didn't trust you. It took me one year to realize all of it…."

"I'm sorry I left you without saying anything..Please forgive me Gyeoul-ah, chaebal."

Gyeoul got so immersed on his embrace, how she wished it will never end. But then reality hits her when her phone rang. Professor Chae was calling her. She immediately snapped out from his arms and answered the call.

"Hello, yes Unnie. I'm sorry..Alright, I'll be there in a few minutes. Bye."

"Song-Hwa?"He asked in full confusion. Why would Song-Hwa call her? They weren't this close when he left a year ago?

"Yes, I need to go to the hospital. Bye, then"

"Let me drive you."Please, let me drive you."I insist."Gyeoul just nod. They took her car since his was in a car shop, getting some necessary repairs. The 10-minute drive to Yulje felt like forever. Their clothes were damped from the rain, and worse, no one was talking. The silence was deafening, only they could do was steal glances at each other.

"So, you finally pursued your dream.."Gyeoul broke the silence. She needed an answer. Did he really go for the priesthood? After everything that happened between them? She wanted to know, but a part of her doesn't want to. She wasn't ready for his answer. But then, he kissed her a while ago, maybe..just maybe..

"What dream?"He replied with a quizzical look on his face.

"You know..priesthood..that's why the Head Priest called you Brother Ahn right?"

"Ah, that. I came back a week ago and had no place to stay. I didn't want to bother everyone, or go to Yangpyeong.."he paused for a moment, faking a smile,"...so I stayed at the convent for a while. I tried to convince them to call me Dr. Ahn, but they insist on Bro. Ahn, since it's a convent and not a hospital."

"What do you mean? But? You're not going to be a priest?"

Jeongwon let out a smile as they entered the hospital's parking lot. He parked on a vacant space before answering her question.

"No. Didn't I tell you, you were my dream? I came back, to apologize, and to ask for a second chance on us. I'm hoping I'm not yet too late.."

Their eyes met, and they see the longing in each other.They still love each other,they really do, but is it already too late for a second chance? The stillness again surrounded them, not until a chime from Gyeoul's phone.

"I..I should go."

"You should change your clothes, do you have extra clothes with you?"

"Yes, I have. You also, umm…good bye then."

She was in a hurry, that she forgot she left him, in her car. She should've asked for her keys. She was flustered, everything escalated quickly. She wanted to decline his offer of driving her because there's something she's hiding, and she doesn't want Jeongwon to find out, because he...he won't be able to grasp it. She then proceeds to her locker to change.. It's like a ticking time bomb is about to explode. She then picked up her phone, was about to dial Prof Chae, but Song Hwa beat her to it..Prof Chae was calling.

"Oh, de, unnie. I got soaked from the rain, that's why I changed first. Are you still in the office? Is Grace—"

"You have to hurry, Gyeoulah. I'll explain later. Please hurry."

Oh, no. Did Jeongwon get there before she did?This is bad. She sprint like her life depends on it. Only to find out, she's late, he was already there.The secret is out.

Jeongwon didn't tell the guys that he was back in Korea. He was planning to meet them the next day but since he's already here, might as well just surprise them. But before that, he first proceeds to his old office and changed into scrubs. Thank God, Junwan didn't change the passcode. He knew exactly where would the guys be at this hour – at SongHwa's office, eating dinner. He was so excited to see their reactions, it's really been a long time, and as far as his memory is concern, no one knows where he had gone to. He left all of his contacts before leaving, so no one could reach him. Maybe they'll get mad? or they'll cry because they miss me?

He opened the door.

"Surprise, I'm back."

The four turned to his direction, Ikjun choked on his water. They greeted him with astounding faces...and silence.That's weird.

"What the? Is that how you welcome your friend?"

The silence only broke when someone cried. They all looked at SongHwa, who was carrying a 3-month old baby girl.

"Grace, mianhe."SongHwa said while calming the baby. Jeongwon looked muddled, he has no idea of what is going on.

"Yah, did you and Songwha get married and had a baby without telling me?"He joked while patting Ikjun's back as he sat down beside SongHwa.

"Anyeong, agi-ya."

Jeongwon held the child in his arms, making SongHwa panic internally, while looking at the other three men's direction, begging for help. She got no choice but to hand the child to him. The four of them locked eyes. They knew they are walking in thin ice, one mistake and they will all freeze to death.What will they do now?

"Ha ha. You're back, ha ha. When did you come back?"Ikjun started the conversation, hiding his nervousness behind his laugh, while SongHwa excused herself for a minute. She stepped outside her office and dialed Gyeoul telling her to hurry.

"Don't tell me, you got SongHwa pregnant before I left and didn't even inform me."

"Ya, micheosso."Junwan

"What are you talking about?"Ikjun

"She's not SongHwa and Ikjun's kid."SeokHyeong blunted, the three of them glared at him, cursing him in silence.

"Huh, what do you mean?"

"Umm. Jeongwonah, umm she-"SongHwa was about to spill the tea when Gyeoul entered, while still catching her breath. She scanned the room, only to see Jeongwon holding a 3-month old baby girl.

"Thank God you're here,"Junwan shouts in relief.

"Oh, you changed already? You want me to take you home?"Jeongwon uttered nonchalantly,he still doesn't know anything.

"Mwoya? You already met? When?"Ikjun

"Just a while ago."He smiled. Everyone frowned in confusion. What is happening? Did Gyeoul tell him already? But by the look of it, he seemed clueless. What is going on?

As Jeongwon was about to give SongHwa the child back, Gyeoul, gathered all her strengths and, opened her mouth as she utters the words that made everyone gasp for air.

"Jeongwon-ssi, you can give her to me. I'm her mom."

SeokHyeong held Junwan's hand and whispered, "Junwan-ah, I'm scared."

Ikjun hid behind SongHwa, who was holding the side of her table to support her shaking.

"What do you mean? You got married?"Jeongwon who was in a state of cluelessness and confusion. What does she mean? Was I too late? Is she seeing someone? Did she finally moved on from him? No, it can't be. She kissed me back earlier, she misses me..no..it can't be.

"No. She's my child..."she paused for a good few seconds before meeting his eyes,"..your child."

Gyeoul replied, with her hands clutching her gown. The quietness was suffocating. No one dares to talk, nor breathe. Jeongwon just looked at her, then at the infant he's holding. Is this some kind of joke? Because if it is, it's not funny. It's impossible..how. To make things worse, all of his friends seemed to know about it. Why is he the only one who doesn't know anything?

He threw a glance at his friends, who were biting their lips, looking at the floor, avoiding his gaze. Gyeoul cleared her throat. She gandered where Song Hwa and Ikjun were standing, and nod.

That's the cue. The four friends, made their exit, racing towards the door.

"Our child?"

"Yes, our child."
