Let's go back to around 10 pm last night, at Yoona's home in Seoul.

She didn't dare open the message after seeing it; she was in terrible condition, and Sunny and Sooyoung were on their way.

When Sunny entered the room, she found it completely dark. She and Sooyoung panicked and quickly turned on the lights.

Yoona was curled up on the sofa by herself. When the light came on, she looked up and saw Sunny and Sooyoung. She then went back to her previous state.

Xiuying was furious when she saw the bottles and cans scattered all over the ground.

She went into the bathroom, turned on the tap, came back, grabbed Lim Yoona, and pushed her under the shower.

Yoona was soaked to the bone and looked utterly disheveled.

"Look at the way you are now. Are you still the Yoona I know? What's the big deal? As long as he's not married, you can just win him back. Who are you trying to fool with this dramatic act?"

"Besides hurting those of us who care about you, who else can you hurt by doing this? Do you want people to pity you? What's the point of degrading yourself like this!"

Sooyoung cried and shouted, her voice trembling as she tried to stop herself from seeing her best friend like this.

Seeing Yoona in such a disheveled state, Sunny burst into tears.

"How can you give up before you've even tried? What are you afraid of? You've already made enough money, what are you afraid of!"

Sunny couldn't hold back any longer and broke down. She couldn't stand Yoona like this, and her eyes turned red from crying.

Hearing her two friends' words, Lim Yoona burst into tears, but her eyes shone with light.

The two watched as Yoona squatted on the ground and cried for a long time.

"Could you please bring me some clothes? I'm fine now, really."

Sooyoung and Sunny exchanged a glance, and Sunny went to her room to get her clothes.

When I came out after taking a shower, the house had already been cleaned.

The three sat around the coffee table, looking at a pile of food. Im Yoona went over and started eating.

Seeing this, Xiuying nodded, relieved that there was still hope.

"I thought I would feel better after a while, but after seeing him today, I realized that's impossible. You're right, I haven't even tried, so why should I give up? Once this is over, I'll take the initiative."

"I want to die knowing why. He just sent me a message that I don't even dare to look at."

After saying a lot, Lim Yoona picked up her phone, opened the message, and found it was an audio file. She clicked to play it.

Monologue

"Who directed this play, in this lonely role?"

"The dialogue is always a monologue, and the opponent is always a memory."

"I can't see any ending, it's all about you from beginning to end."

"If I get too involved, the story is destined to be a tragedy."

Why give me beauty, only to perform reunions and partings?

Yoona found this song back then and already knew how to sing it, but she never had the chance to sing it to that man.

She is now humming softly along with the harmonica music, and she seems to understand it.

"He came to see me. He should have come to see me. I pushed him away myself."

"I understand. I won't give up. I haven't even tried, so why should I admit defeat?"

Sunny and Sooyoung breathed a sigh of relief when they saw her like this, and all three of them smiled, their smiles filled with a sense of relief.

Li Qingshan was admiring the snowy scenery by the sea with two girls; the view was absolutely beautiful.

Krystal ran ahead, while Jessica and Li Qingshan walked behind hand in hand.

They looked like a couple traveling with their mentally challenged daughter.

"Are you cold?" Li Qingshan took Jessica's hand out and breathed on it to warm it up, his movements gentle and warm.

"I'm not cold. I don't feel cold when I'm with you." Li Qingshan kissed her forehead, his voice full of love.

They found a hot pot restaurant; hot pot is the most comfortable thing to eat in this kind of weather.

"Oh no, where's the meat I cooked?" Li Qingshan searched the pot with his chopsticks. He had cooked a plate of meat, but now he couldn't find a single piece.

The two women laughed like two little foxes, and Li Qingshan went to order three more plates of meat.

He only ate two pieces of those three portions, and then they were all gone.

"You two shouldn't wolf down your food. You'll gain weight and then have to go on a diet when you get back," Li Qingshan reminded them, his tone tinged with helplessness as he noted that they were both prone to weight gain.

"Oppa, this is so delicious! How did you manage to find the best-tasting restaurant among so many others?" Krystal had just seen Lee Cheong-san walk around each restaurant and then leave, her eyes filled with curiosity.

"Use your nose! See the Sichuan peppercorns in here? It's easy to tell the difference between cheap and expensive ones. Besides, this shop is the most crowded. Even if it's not good, we can't be the only ones who get ripped off, right?"

Li Qingshan taught them how to find restaurants. The reasoning was simple: places with lots of people are bound to have good food.

In the afternoon, I took the two girls to play snow activities.

While playing in the snow tube, Krystal was bounced around so much that she could hit the high notes she couldn't sing. Li Qingshan thought this was a great achievement, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud if she didn't rub her bottom while walking.

Jessica is interested in snowmobiles and loves playing with them. She's excited and wishes they could go faster than walking.

Speed ​​skating on the snow slope was hilarious; Jessica's high notes sounded like sheep bleating, and her shoes flew off.

Li Qingshan and Krystal laughed so hard they fell to the ground. Jessica, blushing, hit them one by one, laughing even as she hit them. The atmosphere was extremely cheerful.

Krystal also went up to play, and when she slid down, Li Qingshan and Jessica were playing around. She kicked Li Qingshan so hard he was stunned.

"If you have a grudge, just say so. What do you mean by ambushing me?" Li Qingshan lay on the ground, pretending to be angry.

The two girls threw snow at him, clearly intending to bury him, and then started a snowball fight.

The three of them played until their clothes were soaked, and then they ran wildly back to the courtyard.

After spending the afternoon playing, the group ordered room service from the hotel and chatted while they ate.

"I'm planning to find a job in the Peninsula. What do you guys think would be good? Something that I won't be working for someone else," Li Qingshan asked Krystal and Jessica.

"Why do you suddenly want to work? Are you out of money?" Jessica was surprised by his idea and frowned.

"I've basically arranged my own affairs. If there are no major changes, I shouldn't need to work for at least a year. Now that you're going to work, I need to find something for myself to do." Li Qingshan already had an idea in mind, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

"Brother-in-law, why don't you become an actor? Your appearance is perfect for it," Krystal suggested, and it seemed like a good idea.

"Forget it, this industry is hard to get into. How about I go to Hongdae to sing live? I'm just killing time anyway. Do you guys think I'm embarrassing?" Li Qingshan said jokingly, which made him laugh out loud.

"This seems pretty good, Oppa sings so well." Krystal agreed, nodding repeatedly.

"Why don't you just play around? I'll support you." Jessica's words were surprising. Li Qingshan pinched her chin beside him. "Listen to me, thank you."

Li Qingshan was joking with them; he wasn't really idle, he just didn't have anything major to do for the time being.

The three of them were on the plane at the time.

The three of them spent two days there before returning to Seoul, where Jessica prepared to rent an apartment.

My sister lives in the current house, and my parents occasionally come back unexpectedly, so it's inconvenient.

She now wishes she could be with Li Qingshan every moment, so she wants to rent a place to live first.

"You can't live without me? I'll buy a place in a while. You can stay in a hotel for now, I can afford it." Li Qingshan stroked her chin, his eyes full of affection.

"So what if I can't live without you? Is that a problem?" Jessica grabbed Li Qingshan's arm, looked up at him with a stubborn expression.

Krystal was already fed up with the sweetness, so she pretended to be asleep, and ended up actually falling asleep.

After the three of them got off the plane, Li Qingshan took a taxi back to the hotel by himself.

Jessica was reluctantly pulled away by Krystal: "It's not like we'll never see each other again, let's go home first."

Jessica was originally planning to go to the hotel with them, but she received an important last-minute notice.

Li Qingshan also planned to have a good rest in his room for a day.

An unexpected phone call disrupted his plans.

Li Qingshan saw the caller ID "Lin Yoona." He thought for a moment and then answered the call.

"I want to see you. I know you've gone back to Seoul, to the place where we first met."

Li Qingshan stared at the phone, which had already been disconnected, without saying a single word from beginning to end.

He got up, changed out of his dirty clothes, put on his trench coat, and went out.

He arrived at the Han River, in the same seat, at the same time.

He cleared the snow from the bench, sat down, and neither made a phone call nor looked around; he simply sat quietly.

Looking at the lights across the river, Li Qingshan thought of the summer of 2006.

Lim Yoona actually saw Li Qingshan when he got off the car, and got off the car to follow him after he walked a little further away.

She watched as Li Qingshan sat down on the bench and waited quietly.

She slowly walked to his side and sat down gently.

Neither of them spoke.

"What do you want?" Li Qingshan asked expressionlessly, lighting a cigarette in a cold voice.

"Are you dating Jessica?"

"Just for this question?"

After the question and answer, there was another silence.

Lim Yoona stood up and faced Lee Chung-san: "I am not dating Lee Seung-gi." She pursed her lips, trying to explain, her eyes filled with urgency.

Li Qingshan looked up at her, at her delicate face and her doe-like eyes, waiting for what she would say next.

"I was set up; it was all a lie."

"You don't need to explain this to me, we have nothing to do with each other." Li Qingshan slowly stood up, patted his clothes, and exhaled a puff of smoke, his expression obscured by the swirling smoke.

Upon hearing this, Lim Yoona's heart tightened, and she became anxious: "It's related. You originally came to see me, right?"

"What exactly do you want? What do you take me for? A fool?" Li Qingshan shouted at her irritably, finally letting out his anger that had been building up for days. His voice echoed along the riverbank.

When Yoona saw him get angry, she laughed, and her eyes became lively.

"Can I explain?" Lim Yoona walked to Li Qingshan's side and tugged at his clothes, using her best trick of acting cute and pitiful, her voice soft.

"Speak." Li Qingshan turned around, and the two were now face to face, very close, and could feel each other's breath.

Yoona wore an animal-themed knitted hat, and her pitiful appearance made people feel sorry for her.

Lim Yoona explained her initial thoughts, how she was manipulated, and the company's arrangements.

"I'm going to win you back, please don't ignore me, okay?" Lin Yoona hugged Li Qingshan's waist, looked up at him and pleaded, her eyes full of expectation.

She had just realized that this man still liked her, otherwise he wouldn't have gotten angry.
