Aoki was so hurt. She finally saw the truth with her own eyes, the fans on the message board was right all along. Aoki was supposed to fly to Paris for fashion week, Nichkhun was a bit upset that Aoki had to go because her flight had to be on the eve of 2 pm’s album release party at MOS. Since Aoki missed her flight she booked for the next flight even though it was on the evening the day after. She thought why not she dropped by the party at MOS, as it will definitely give Nichkhun a pleasant big surprise! But Aoki was the person who got the big surprise, she saw Nichkhun in a questionable position with another girl whom Aoki thought was her friend. Even worst was the fact that the girl was one of the members of Wonder Girls, So Hee.
Tiffany was absolutely broken to half. Tiffany as absolutely pissed at So Hee and she admitted she almost got physical with So Hee at the party. It was hard for Tiffany to look at Aoki’s state at that time, she was beyond miserable, her eyes were red and blotchy from crying so hard.
Ever since they were in the taxi until they reached home, Nichkhun never stopped calling Aoki over and over again. He definitely didn’t expect Aoki to pop out of nowhere, even he couldn’t believe he did what he did. Everything happened too fast, he blamed it on two things, alcohol and the fact that So Hee was all over him. The 2nd accusation was confirmed even by Tiffany who did walked up to the two of them to confront their behavior but they were too busy flirting with each other to even acknowledge her existence.
Now Tiffany was hugging and consoling Aoki on the couch at the living room. She even had the sudden urge to call for Hee Chul, but thought against it because she can only imagine how angry he would be. After the 100th call it seemed of the night from Nichkhun, Tiffany thought maybe she should pick up the phone to straighten out Nichkhun.
“You were snuggling with her, I saw it with my own eyes. Heck you even ignored me when I confronted you guys, that’s just wrong. I saw you flirting with her, in front of me. Just…” Tiffany paused as Nichkhun cut her rudely.
“I’m over you. Just stop calling,” Aoki mumbled in between hiccups. She was so distraught, her eyes were welling up in tears non-stop. “Just hang up Tiff. I’m over you. It’s fine. I’m over you.”
Soo Young arrived from the kitchen with a pot of tea looking concerned for Aoki. They barely knew each other but Soo Young clearly cared for Aoki enough to be there to console her. She handed Aoki another box of tissue, the 2nd for the night. After pouring tea, she sat beside Aoki pulling her head gently to her shoulder. “There there Aoki. I mean… You deserve better anyway babe, Nichkhun’s a jerk.”
“No she didn’t put me on the phone Nichkhun, she didn’t put me on the phone. She was crying so hard that I had to literally pick it up Nichkhun. Literally… I had to pick up the phone like I… Like I had to pick up my best friend and carry her upstairs and stuff, she’s completely distraught with what you did. How could you, no Nichkhun no.”
“Just hang up the phone Tiffany,” Soo Young said with a serious tone clearly annoyed. Soo Young has always been a good friend, even to Aoki who she barely knew. That’s because she was there, she was hurt like that before. Soo Young patted Aoki encouragingly, “Hold on there girl.”
“You have to realize. You have to realize Nichkhun. You have to decide what you want with Aoki,” Tiffany paused a bit flustered looking at the state of Aoki.
Swiftly Soo Young extended her hand to Tiffany, she made her intentions clear that she wanted to talk to Nichkhun. But Tiffany shook her head sideways, she knew Soo Young too well. Soo Young was going to curse at him, might even throw a few blasphemy word here and there. Sometimes Tiffany and the other girls is a bit worried if Soo Young was considering to go both ways ever since she got her heartbroken recently. Abruptly, Soo Young snatched away the handphone from Tiffany’s hand offensively.
“You know what? You know what? Nichkhun, Nichkhun stop. Aoki’s gonna call you tomorrow, okay?” Soo Young said with a serious tone. “Just admit your mistakes, we saw what you did. Not just me and Tiffany, but everybody at the party too. So please, grow a pair of balls and be a man.” Soo Young turned the phone off and sighed, Tiffany was surprised Soo Young didn’t throw the phone to the wall.
Aoki couldn’t stop weeping in the arms of Soo Young for a few hours with tissue all over the couch. “I was really falling in love with him,” Aoki mumbled to them, her eyes blank looking to the ceiling.
“Don’t fall in love,” Tiffany replied stroking Aoki’s knee as a form of encouragement. What Nichkhun did pretty much sealed Tiffany’s support for Team Hee Chul instead of Team Nichkhun. She didn’t know Hee Chul’s crush on Aoki, but even Tiffany can notice how Hee Chul is desperate for Aoki’s attention whenever they’re all out together.
Soo Young hugged Aoki from the side giving her an advice, “Don’t fall in love with anyone Aoki, you’re too young to fall in love.”

The morning after was the hardest. Aoki looked like shit, and in the evening later she had to endure a 30 hour flight to Paris. “I am dead. This is death face,” she joked pointing to her blotchy face. She feels like her eye bags have multiplied in size since she literally cried herself to sleep.
“Yeah you were pretty miserable last night,” Soo Young smiled joining Aoki at the couch as she handed Aoki her cup of coffee.
“Yeah you heard what that bitch So Hee said? She’s like ‘Oh that guy… That’s my boo.’. And I was like ‘Your boo?’ She’s like
‘Yeah I think I’ll hook up with him later’. Like what the fuck Soo Young?” Aoki yelled out, a bit hysterical.
“Oh… He’s a dirtbag Aoki. Don’t just blame it all on So Hee,” Soo Young made a point. She didn’t sleep throughout the night because she didn’t want to awaken Aoki who fell asleep at her shoulder.
“You know Aoki,” Tiffany paused for a moment not knowing if she should say it.
“What Tiff?” Aoki asked turning her back to look at Tiffany.
A coy smile appeared at Tiffany’s face, “Well, I have yet to tell Hee Chul, or Han Kyung about this matter. I mean, they’d flip out and would probably kick Nichkhun’s ass for you if you wanted too.”
Aoki burst into laughter for the first time since what happened, “Don’t Tiff. Hee Chul would just, freak out. And I hate it when he goes, ‘I told you so’.”
“Yeah, and don’t mention that jerk’s name. Just the thought of him makes me want to punch something,” Soo Young expressed, clicking her bony knuckles with a pissed face.
But the matter of fact is that they didn’t even have to tell Hee Chul, obviously the drama didn’t take long to be posted by other people who witnessed it on message boards and blogs. Hee Chul wasn’t just pissed, he was furious. Hee Chul never tried boxing before, but on that day, he put a picture of Nichkhun’s head on a pillow and told Han Kyung to hold it firmly. Later, he punched it a few times yelling blasphemy.
