It was as if an ocean of silence washed over the two of us while, ironically, the physical ocean was getting closer and closer to doing the exact same. Nothing had changed within the amount of time the two of us had been sitting there. Yet the hurt in my heart grew stronger and the questions and thoughts in my head just became more and more entangled within each other. Like a ball of string so tightly entangled and warped into knots that it would be nearly impossible to undo. Those were all feelings because of IM.

At the moment I wasn't really sure what feelings I had towards Jooheon. Was he aware of what was going to happen before hand or was he just trying to help. While the waves began to lap at my feet, making sand stick to my skin, I asked him.

"So what the heck just happened?..."

He let out a frustrated sigh. "Its a bit complicated...but I'll do my best to explain everyth-"

"Wait. So you knew?"

he buried his face in his hands and let out another frustrated sigh. "Not exactly."

With a death glare gleaming in my eyes, I turned towards him and looked directly into his gaze, my arms crossed against my chest. "Then explain to me why I shouldn't be as pissed and hurt by you as I am because of IM."

The moonlight reflected off of the waves created almost silver highlights in Jooheon's hair.

"Well Do you want to hear the whole story from the beginning? Because just like you're about to, I've just recently learned about the real IM and who he really is."

The sound of a car alarm squeaking while being locked suddenly echoed in the air. "Okay this I've got to hear." Both Jooheon and I turned to see Hyungwon walking towards us, his car...the one that I had "borrowed" was parked next to the curb. 

"But how did you- I had the keys and I- what?" I quickly stuttered.

"Did you really think I didn't have a spare key?"

"W-well I-I.."

"Its fine that you took it. Honest. Truth be told I'm not even mad about it.  Lucky for you I have a gps tracker app for my car downloaded on my phone. The only thing I'm mad about is the fact that the taxi driver wouldn't drop me off at my car. The second he pulled in he just told me to pay and get out. So i had to walk like a whole 10 feet to my car. But what's done is done. I wanna hear about this little shit I.M."

He sat down next to me on the opposite side of Jooheon and plopped down into the sand. 

"You and me both." I sighed. The two of us turned to look at Jooheon. "Start from the beginning."
