"Are you going to live with somebody all your life if you don't forget him then? You stupid girl!"
"When should I break up with the Chief then?"
"You're really driving me nuts. Why don't you be more honest to yourself? Can you say you really didn't know his romantic feelings about you? You knew it, right?"
"Well, as I grow older, I think I've come to know what love is. In other words, I don't want to jump into love without thinking hard about it first. I find myself thinking first before deciding to date somebody, even comparing them with Konsu. Still, I am not so sure whether this is really love."
"So, do you love the Chief?"
"Not yet."
"If you don't yet, then when are you going to love him?"
"I think I will be able to love him gradually. Maybe."
Only now was Arum able to laugh while looking at the small room.

The first morning of the next day after she made a boyfriend.
How did she change? She didn't at all.
