She almost pities herself how Seulgi and Irene looked so happy. They acknowledge the reality that their marriage might not be legal, that it can't be acknowledged by the law in their country, but they didn't care.
They were in love and that's all that mattered to them. What matters to them is that they know they love each other and they're going to have a beautiful ceremony of their love.
And maybe its too late to think about how it could be her and Moonbyul; but she still wonders what would've happened if only she stayed longer, if only she was stronger.
The night passed quickly and soon enough they were bidding goodbyes at each other.
Solar hugged each one of her friends saying her farewells, and the next thing she knew she was left with Moonbyul, at the side of the road.
She didn't know how to act, she didn't know if they're already in speaking terms even after chatting with Moonbyul a little bit at the party; after all, Moonbyul might just be trying to act civil with her around their friends to avoid an awkward atmosphere.
So she shyly says, "Bye." she didn't even bother checking if the other girl heard her, she tried to walk away fast.
"See you." she hears Moonbyul say, making her stop in her tracks.
"What?" Solar asked, dumbfounded.
"At the studio." Moonbyul smiles at her as she clarifies.
"Yeah." Solar acknowledges. "I almost forgot." she smiles.
"Will you be okay?" Moonbyul asks.
And Solar smiles. "Of course. Will you?" she asks back.
"Yeah." Moonbyul casually said without missing a beat. "By the way, I can drop you off if you want." Byul offered and Solar almost agreed, of course she wanted to spend more time with Moonbyul but then the other girl continued, "I'm sure Hyejin and Wheein won't mind having a short detour." and then she was reminded of their current situation; she shouldn't take pleasure in being with Byul anymore because its not going to be fair to Wheein.
"No that's fine." Solar declined politely, "I already booked a taxi, it actually already there." she points to her service car.
"Oh. Okay. Bye then." Moonbyul greets her again as she pulls her close for a quick hug.
Solar expected this night to be her wake up call. She expected that seeing Wheein and Moonbyul together would slap her back to reality that there's no going back now. But she came home with more questions and a little more hope in her mind than before.

"Solar?" Eric says after he was awaken from his sleep from the incessant calls from Yongsun.
"I know its late.Sorry for bothering you." Solar apologizes as a greeting. "But I'm just really confused. And I don't know what to do. I need your expert opinion."
"It's okay. What is it?" Eric asks.
"It's Byul." she answers simply as if it would explain her urgent call.
"Byul?" Eric asks slightly confused, "When did I become a Moonbyul expert?"
"I just said that for effect." Solar reasons nonchalantly, but really she didn't know who else to talk to, its not like she have other friends. "Anyway, we saw each other earlier and she didn't make a scene."
"Isn't that good?" Eric asks, having no clue with where Solar is going at.
"And she was so nice and friendly." Solar continues, ignoring Eric's question, "She even hugged me before we left. Why did she do that? What does that mean?" she narrated.
"What's wrong with that?" Eric asks again.
"Eric, you were there when she was so angry and screamed at me." Solar states. "You saw that." she emphasized, meaning to say that Eric should know why Solar is confused with the way Moonbyul acted.
"Maybe she's okay, now?" Eric tries to find a sensible reason.
"She's okay, as in, she's not mad at me anymore?" Solar reiterates.
"Solar, okay, as in, she's accepted that you're not getting back together." Eric clarifies, making Solar frown at the other end of the line. "Maybe she's moved on."
Yongsun knows, Eric is right, and maybe that's why she felt her heart sink faster than the titanic, she could feel a lump in her throat as her mind processes what Eric just said. But she wishes Eric just didn't say it, she wished Eric said something comforting instead, she wished he just let her on with her wishful thinking, because now she's about to cry and she really didn't want to cry herself to sleep anymore.
