Sora looked at Juhwan who is currently setting up his shooting gears. As
expected, she knows she can meet him at the shooting club. A place where he
likes to spend his time when he is disappointed with something.
"Good morning Lim Juhwan." She greeted.
Juhwan looked at Sora for a while. The woman that has been avoiding him and his friends a lot these days suddenly appeared before his eyes.
“She must have heard about what had happened.” He thought to himself.
Sora went nearer before she realized the bruises on his face.
"You're fighting again? Is it with Insung or Joongki this time?" She asked. Seems like what Kim Jiwon told her yesterday afternoon is true.
"I'm not going to talk about it." He replied.
Sora pulled his hand. "Look here." She turned him to face her. "Why are you doing this to yourself?" She caresses his cheek.
Juhwan pushed away her hand. "Just let me be.."
Sora sighed. "Get mad at me Lim Juhwan. I'm the one who was not able to make a decision.."
Juhwan went silent.
"It would be much easier if I just disappear, don't you think?" Sora playfully asked.
"What are you trying to say?" He stares deeply into her eyes. Despite her playful tone, her eyes show some seriousness with what she just said.
"Just some coward thought." She giggles before looking at him. "I don't feel like able to choose any of you guys. All of you are equally precious to me.."
He sighed as he took his shotgun.
"You're angry don't you?" Sora looked at his changed expression.
"No." He replied.
"Jeez.." She grunts as Juhwan is ignoring her and walk towards the shooting area. Filling up his shotgun with bullets.
Sora grab the shotgun from his hand and aims to the projectiles.
[Go!]
She shouts before shooting down both pallets. She took out the bullet case from the shotgun and gave it to him back. "We're not done with our conversation yet.." She sharply glares at him.
"Kang Sora." He was stunned seeing how much she has improved her shooting skills after a while. Impressive.
Sora looked at him. "Just get mad at me. Why do you have to hide your feelings?"
"I'm not mad." Juhwan replied.
"If you are not, why do you keep fighting with each other?!" Sora glared at him.
Juhwan looked to the ground. "I got jealous..”
"I know this will happened somehow.” Sora sighed. "Let us just stop all of this Lim Juhwan. There is no use to push this further. Let us just remain as friend okay?” She asked him.
Juhwan sighed. This seems like an endless battle to win her heart but in the end of the day she just refused to pick a winner.
Sora saw his frustrations upon her words. "I'm sorry.." Sora said to him. “I don’t have the confidence that this will end up well. Your friendship with Jo Insung and Song Joongki is too beautiful to be destroyed.”
Juhwan grabs her hand and pull her towards him, but Sora stopped him. “Lim Juhwan..” She looked at him surprised.
“Can’t we kiss to see whether you really don’t have those feelings towards me?”
“Stop this Lim Juhwan. It’s not going anywhere.” She pushed him off her.
“You don’t know how fast my heart is beating right now..” He holds her hands and put it on his chest before he moved in to give her a kiss.
Sora surprised with the slight kiss as she tilted her head away from him. "Let’s not do this Lim Juhwan." politely she refused.
"Kang Sora, I.."
"Let us remain as good friends. I really mean it." She will not allow Juhwan to finish his sentence. "I want to keep only the good memories that we have. Please."
Juhwan speechless hearing her words. His heart shattered seeing Kang Sora walking away, leaving him behind.

She looked at the naked cherry blossom tree along the street heading to the academic block. This place would be among the beautiful place in campus during spring.
She closes her eyes enjoying the soft wind of end winter while imagining the spring season. A season that she used to enjoy with her girlfriends before. She sighed softly.
[Horn!]
Sora surprised with the sudden honking as she looked at the yellow Ferrari at the other side of the road is making a U-turn.
"Where are you going?" Insung greeted.
"Having a little stroll before heading back home." She bends her knees to properly looked at his face.
“So, it was you who fights with Juhwan?” Sora asked as she immediately opened the door and get in the car without being invited.
She looked at the bruises on his lips and eyes. “Look at what you have done to yourself.” she caresses his cheek for a bit.
Insung hold her hand. "You've met him?" Insung asked.
Sora nodded. "I just came back from meeting him."
Insung sighed. "I'm always a few steps behind." No matter how much he wants to be positive with Sora's feelings, he always feels like he was placed last among the three of them.
"Let us have some talk shall we? Can you drive me home?" she asked.
Insung looked at her. "What about your car?"
"I can just pick it up tomorrow." She looked at him. Serious.
Insung nodded before he drives his car away from the campus.
“I’ve given a deep thought about everything.” Sora started the conversation as she looked at Insung who is seriously paying his focus to the road.
“If you’re going to reject me, keep those words to yourself.” Insung replied without waiting for Sora to finish her words.
Sora looked at him. “Seems like you have prepared for anything.”
“I’m not. But I would rather not hear it.” He took a glance at Sora. “At least I won’t be hurt.”
Sora chuckles. Each one of those guys have their unique ways in handling everything. “Fine then..” Sora replied.
Sora looked at the road before staring at Jo Insung’s face as he started to speed up the car. “I didn’t know you had this anger in you.”
Insung ignored her words and keep speeding his car in the middle of busy Seoul city at 200km/h heading to Sora’s house.
Sora remained silent as she did not want her words to provoke him further.
“We’re here.” Insung told her as he parked his car in front of her house gate.
Sora looked at him as she can clearly see the frustration from his face and actions.
“I will not choose any of you.” Sora told him. Calmly.
Insung looked at her. “What do you mean?”
“I’m not choosing anybody. I do not want to. I want all of us to remain as friends. A supportive friend that stands by each other’s.” Sora smiled as she looked at Insung.
"Why not? Why can’t it be me?" He asked.
“The friendship that you guys have are too beautiful to be destroyed by somebody like me, Jo Insung.”
Insung bit his lips. Still cannot accept what she just said. "Are you sure this is not because of that Woobin guy?"
"Woobin has nothing to do with this." Sora looked at him. "I’m the problem here. I like the three of you equally the same. That’s why I cannot choose."
"Kang Sora." He looked at the person that excites him whenever he is with. Sora is truly someone that could give some excitement to his heart unlike other woman he had dated before.
Sora cupped his cheek while caressing his bruises. "I'm sorry for hurting you like this."
Insung pulled her hand and hold it tightly. "Give it a deeper thought Kang Sora." He is not able to let go of the person that holds the real definition of love to him.
Sora shakes her head. "The answer will still the same.."
"What should I do then? I really don't think I'm able to live without you.."
"You'll be just fine.. and you need to keep on living to found someone that can excites you more than me.."
"But Sora.."
"I'm sorry.." She pulled her hands from him. "Thank you for the ride." Sora smiled before she gets off the car.
"Sora!" Insung get out of the car rushing towards her and pull her to his embrace. "Let me hug you at least.." he requested.
Sora smiled before hugging him back. "Thank you my friend.."
He closed his eyes as he heard those words. Friend. Not a person that he wanted to be to her. He sighed.
