Augustine purposely got drunk after he found out about the conversation between you and your friends in which you said that his age, being 23, and yours, being 25, made you not take him seriously because of the 5 year age gap. You said that your relationship would only be temporary because he lacked experience, which he took to mean that he was not mature enough for you.

At midnight,

He came home and looked at you with a longing gaze. You held his cheek and allowed him to kiss your palm as he said softly,

"You're so beautiful, Noona. I want to be enough for you, I want to be mature enough so you won't leave me."

However, as he continued, his tears welled up in his eyes as he pleaded with you,

"Please don't leave me, Noona. Just stay with me please, i want you to stay..."

He paused and sob, trying to act tough because the reminder of you wanting someone matured keep echoing on his head, his voice is sad and frustrated,

"Noona, I'm a mess. Look at me."

He tried to sound strong, but his voice broke as he said the last part. He was aware that he was drunk and emotional, and he felt embarrassed to show this side of himself to you.

"I don't want you to see me like this."
