Regrets always show up late to people.
In this case, Sunwoo regrets letting go of Haknyeon to Eric because he is blind for revenge. He thought Haknyeon feelings toward him would not change with everything that happened. But Sunwoo is totally forgetting about one thing and is about change.
Include Haknyeon heart can change too.
"Sunwoo stupid. Stupid." Sunwoo mumbles and drinks his shot of soju. Tasteless at the beginning, but suddenly bitter taste and the burning sensation hit him.
He hopes that drinking it can make Sunwoo forget Haknyeon, but his mind is a jerk. Because suddenly, Sunwoo remembers one random scene when Haknyeon tries soju for the first time and says he hated the taste. Sunwoo does not realize he smiles remember that moment. Because Sunwoo calls Haknyeon a big baby, knowing he cannot stand the taste of soju.
Then, Sunwoo snaps at reality when he wants to send a chat to Haknyeon and see the statues at the profile.
Slow response because of a baby.
How did Sunwoo forget that?
Haknyeon has already married Eric, and he is now a father of one. Sunwoo should know he and Haknyeon already ended up.
But did they are?
Because in reality, Sunwoo never starts anything with Haknyeon. He is just using Haknyeon for his revenge ... the useless revenge. Now, Sunwoo is too late to realize if he really loved Haknyeon.
But, Haknyeon heart has already changed the direction to love.
"Hello?" His voice is still the same, and Sunwoo does not know why he hears Haknyeon voice so clearly. "Sunwoo? Why are you calling me? Is that something you want to say?"
Maybe Sunwoo is already drunk, and that's why he can hear Haknyeon voice.
"I will end this call, okay, Sunwoo. Good night, have a sweet...."
Sunwoo realized he was not drunk or hallucinating. So he rushed to cut Haknyeon sentence, "How can you wish me a sweet dream when you are away from me?"
Then Haknyeon chooses to be silent. Sunwoo waited for him to talk. But every second passed, it killed him inside.
"Haknyeon, why...?"
"I think I should ask you that question instead of you? Do I?"
Haknyeon voice is too flat, and Sunwoo hates it. He is so used to hearing emotion base Haknyeon voice. Now, he only hears a monotone voice.
And Sunwoo did not want to lie he is was okay. Because it was fucking hurt.
"You push me, Sunwoo. You push me every time I reach you. I don't ask you to love me as big as I do to you. I only ask you to let me in, but you do not let that happen." Haknyeon sighed, and Sunwoo knew him too well. When he sighed, Haknyeon was already at his limit. "Then you use me to acts of revenge on Eric. After that day, I realize you never see me at once. Why I should choose someone who never sees me?"
"Haknyeon ... No! It is not like you...."
"What the difference if you trying to explain it now?" Haknyeon cut Sunwoo sentence. Make him realize not only Haknyeon heart was a change, but his attitude to Sunwoo. "Now I married Eric. Now I have a daughter and despites Eric is lack of many things, at least he tries to accept me."
"But you two together because...!"
"Because your scheme, I know, Sunwoo." Haknyeon cut Sunwoo sentence again, and now he realizes it was really hurt his heart deeply. "Correct it. He knew it too. And guess what? He was trying to make it work when he can choose the easiest route."
"Haknyeon, please. I...."
"You not only destroy Eric. You destroy me too, Sunwoo." Haknyeon voice finally has an emotional tone, but Sunwoo more dislikes it. Because it sounds sad, and he was the jerk who made Haknyeon voice like that. "You destroy three live at once. Me, Eric and Juyeon Hyung. Do you happy now?"
"Haknyeon...."
"DO YOU HAPPY NOW?!" Haknyeon never really yelled at Sunwoo with this angry voice. But then, Sunwoo hears a crying sound, and maybe, Haknyeon forgets they are still on call. Because he can be hearing Haknyeon says, "Baby, I am sorry. Daddy is not mad at you, baby. I am sorry. I am sorry. I am sorry."
If Sunwoo did not let his ugly mind take over his mind, now he could have a happy family with Haknyeon. The daughter baby at Haknyeon house is half of Sunwoo, not someone else. The chuckle Sunwoo hears now is because of him, not from someone else.
"Are you okay? I heard you yelling, and if you are tired, you can go to rest. I can take care of Sora."
"No ... no. I mean, I am okay, Eric."
"Hey, she is not only your responsibility. She was mine too, Haknyeon. She was our daughter."
Sunwoo throws his phone at the wall. Not only his phone actually but the glass and the rest of soju he threw it too. Sunwoo screams as loud as he can and do not care about the complaint he will get from the neighbourhood.
