yeah, it perfectly portrayed their sense of loss and loneliness. ngl, almost made me cry.
but im glad my first choice was to reject her, then later i chose the Hscene just to see what happened
like, its a happy-sad moment for Nicole. on one hand she's getting the attention she wanted, on the other she knows MC is hurting over Irene. As for MC knowing he shouldn't be trying to distract himself from Irene by using Nicole. basically his feelings for Nicole VS the pain and need for distraction he's feeling.
