I feel this is the worst chapter that I can come up with and I feel like this is not the last. I'm sorry if it did not meet to any of your expectation(s).
Certain things in life happen without a reason. But as to why GaIn left without any contact and why she fainted, just know that it is all part of her plan.
Hopefully, I will be able to write as to why she did all that soon. Keep on commenting and I love all of it.
Chapter 9
She opened her eyes and smiled. Sitting on the bed, covering her body with blanket, she looked at the person who is lying next to her. Looking at him sleeping soundly, she placed her hand to his cheek and stroke it gently.
Kwon opened his eyes when he feel the warmth from her hand. Looking at her, he smiled as he hold her hand and kissed it.
“Did I wake you up? I'm sorry.” she gave him the sweetest smile.
“No.” he shook his head.
GaIn put her head on his chest as she listen to his every heart beat. Closing her eyes when her heart synchronized with his as they start to beat as one, her tears fell and flowed down from her cheeks to his body.
“You're crying again.....” he said as he lifted his head slightly to look at her.
She wiped those tears away and said.....
“Kwon-ah. Promise me that no matter what, it will not be you who walk away from this relationship again.”
“Huh?”
GaIn lifted her head from his chest and looked at him.
“Just promise me that. Don't let me be the one who have to watch you walk away, ever again.”
Kwon feels confused by what she's trying to say. But looking at how serious she is, he gave his words. Taking the palm of her hand to his, he wrote....
'I, Jo Kwon promise that I will never leave Son GaIn, no matter what will happen.
Sign,
Jo Kwon
P.S: I love you wherever you are for you're always in that special place in my heart.'GaIn smiled as she looked at him writing on her palm with his finger.
'Yeobo. 3 years ago, that's what you would always do whenever we make an agreement. Don't you remember any of this?' she thought to herself.

*As the days goes by *
With Seungyeon away in Jeju, Kwon and GaIn took the opportunity to spent time with each other. They will go out for a date, just like any other couple and Kwon will spent the night at her place whenever he can.
Just like the days before, they were at GaIn's place when her phone rings. She looked at the phone screen and it showed Seungyeon's name. She looked at Kwon before getting up from the couch to answer the call.
“Hello.” she said as she entered her room.
“Hey, its me. Where are you?”
“Huh... me? At home. Where are you now?” GaIn stuttered.
“I'm still in Jeju. Will be back tomorrow, I guess.”
“Oh ok....” her heart were thumping hard as their conversation continue.
Then just before GaIn end the call, Seungyeon said to her....
“GaIn-ah. Sorry. I'm not there when you need me.”
When she heard that, she doesn't know what to say. After saying goodbye, she hung up the phone and looked at her reflection in the mirror and thought to herself......
'Son GaIn. Don't be soft-hearted. Remember. You get closer to her because of Kwon. Keep in mind that this is what you plan.'-----------------------------------------
Without them knowing it, Seungyeon just landed in Seoul when she called GaIn. She wanted to give her best friend a surprise by going to her apartment.
Inside the cab on her way to GaIn's, she looked out of the window as she remember about how they met each other one year ago and how they became best friend ever since. GaIn is always there for her, listening to her whenever she need someone to talk to.
Walking towards the elevator, Seungyeon carried the presents that she bought in Jeju for GaIn. Smiling to herself, she thought to herself about how surprise would GaIn be when she opened the door, only to see her standing there.
As soon as Kwon saw GaIn walking out from the room, he get up from the couch and hugged her.
“I have to go now. I need to go back to the office.” he said.
After he get his keys and wallet, GaIn send him at the door. Kwon was about to walk away when she pulled him back and hugged him.
“Call me whenever you can. I love you.” she said.
“I love you too.” Kwon kissed her lips before walking to the elevator and disappearing from her sight.
Just a few steps away from GaIn's apartment, someone have been watching them behind the closed door that lead to the staircase.
Her body and hands were shaking as she saw Kwon walked out from her best friend's house. But what shock her even more is that seeing GaIn hugged Kwon and they kissed each other. Leaning against the wall, she support herself as her trembling legs were about to give away because of what is in front of her.
Opening the door slowly after GaIn went back inside, she cried as she let go of the bags that she's carrying. Her heart crushed and break into pieces by the betrayal not of her fiance, but her best friend.
