Chapter four
“Saki..please..” I couldn’t move forward after hearing his voice. Gaah~how can he make me weak so easily? I still didn’t look at him-afraid that I might cry or something. My heart clenched now. His hand-the way he hold my hand still the same. If only I could say one thing, I would say this-Gyu, why did you leave me that time..leaving me just like that.
“Let go of my hand..” I pulled my hand roughly until I myself-feel hurt. The thing is, it’s not my hand that was hurt but my heart. Hang on Saki, no tears anymore. You have already cried a lot when you were in Japan. It’s time to forget all the past and to move on. To tell the truth, I was really nervous when he knelt down like that. It looked like he was going to propose me even though it’s kinda impossible due to the circumstances now. Why would you propose the girl that you dumped with no reason? It’s stupid.
“Can you just listen to me for a while?” Gyu said , his eyes looking to me-straight.
I give up, he was too strong and I didn’t want to create more unwanted scene since I already knew how stubborn he was. “What..”
“First of all, I’m sorry..” he said. I felt like my heart was started and bleeding again.
“Hey, if you just come here to talk about the past-then you can go. I’m not the person that you used to know a few years ago. I don’t remember anything so no need to apologize or anything. YOU CAN GO NOW” I said harshly. I admit my rudeness. If Dad was here, he might slap me just like that.
Gyu looked me in disbelief. He might have a shocking time seeing me acting like this. Sung In Gyu, if you think I’m fragile, you’re wrong.
“I need your help” he said all of sudden, letting go of my hand and turned his gaze onto the floor. Help? What kind of help ?
“Cheh..help ? Are you stupid or what..appear in front of me just to ask for my help..” I said without looking to his face.
Gyu didn’t quickly answer but he just nibble his lips and took a deep breathe. What? Is it too hard to swallow your pride? Guys...
“Saki, would you be my daughter's babysitter?…” he said, his voice turned really low but loud enough for me to hear. I rolled my eyes-shocking, not because his request but he almost made me think that he was going to propose me. I could die for a heart attack if he kept on talking like this.
“Babysitter?” I am pretty sure he also mentioned that ‘daughter’. All of sudden, i remembered the image of that little baby. “Why should I ?”
Gyu just looked at me, I guess he started to feel annoyed with my attitude as much as I felt annoyed to myself.
“Listen, I can beg if you want. My pride is not important anymore but I need your help or else I can’t ..”
He didn’t continue his word. My heart smiling as I know the answer already. Plus, when he talks about pride, he didn’t really mean pride but it’s more ego. Gyu, you need me for your future career. Because Mi Joo had accepted me, not like your previous babysitter. Baby Mi Joo-thank you.
“Why are you smiling..” he looked me curiously. I stunned for a few moment but regain back my focus.
“I can’t really think much now since I have some other thing to do..” I said flatly.
“Huh..”
“Meet me at South Niga Park tonight at nine after I finish all my stuff, I really have something to do now, can’t talk much-can’t even think much. See you..” I said and with that, I closed the door shut right in front of his face . Slowly, I leaned my back onto the door, he was still outside there, probably surprised.
“Okay..” he said before left. I felt like dancing for my small victory. Sung In Gyu, this is just a tiny starter of my sweet revenge. Whatever you give to me-you should take it back. You really should !!!
~oO@Oo~
“Damn..why did she change so much..” Gyu said to himself as he headed to his car.
~Oo@oO~
I was too busy to beat his ego until I forgot about one question that kept playing on my mind. If Gyu had a baby, who’s the mother. Nicole !! Hara !! they must know something. How could they hide it from me. Why can’t they just tell me the truth. After all-they are indeed my friends.
“Saki…what brings you here,” Nicole waved to me as soon as she realized I was standing in front of the saloon. “Come in..”
I didn’t say a thing, the thing is-I was angry with them for hiding the fact from me. I had the feeling that they might know the whole story including Mi Joo mother. What has actually happened here while I was in Japan ?
“Saki,,” Hara smiles to me and handed me a glass of water. “Hello..”
I still didn’t say anything. Nicole and Hara looked at each other.
“Saki, are you okay?” Nicole patted me.
I inhaled deeply before i opened my mouth to speak. “Why didn’t you tell me?”
“Tell what?” Hara was obviously confused, but Nicole seemed to understand.
“Saki..” Nicole wanted to speak but she paused after seeing me crying. I hate when this happen. I showed my weakness again.
“Oh no..” Hara covered her mouth with her palm.
“It’s not that we wanted to hide this from you..but you just come back here. Saki, we are your friends. We know how much you suffered for what happened in the past. Why would we want to hurt you again?” Nicole finally said.
I tried to hold my tears but it keep rolling to my cheek. “You hurt me too-like this..”
Hara didn’t really say anything now. Nicole too but I know how much Nicole felt miserable because Gyu was her own cousin.
“Sorry..” Nicole said.
But I quickly walked away from them after she said that. I didn’t mean to run away just like that but I needed to be alone. I’m sorry Nicole, Hara.
Nicole looked down while Hara just patted her. “She just need some time.”
~Oo@oO~
(Meanwhile )
JongHun stare at his own mobile phone. He wanted to dial her number but later-he cancelled.
“Aigoo~ Mr Choi..you drive me crazy like this..Why do you keep dialing the number if it's to cancel it in the end?” ChungLim protested.
“Yeah..it’s noisy..” HongKi added.
“And we’re trying to focus now..” Seung Yeon interrupted.
“AGREED !!” Ji Young said loudly.
“Be quiet Jing..you’re too much distracting..” HongKi teased her. JongHun smiled to his students.
“I’m sorry.. I know we’re in the middle of study group. So, do you have any question to ask?” he asked a bunch of student in front of him. JongHun is one of the lecturers in ChoonDong college and he teaches arts.
“Mr Choi..we’re not doing maths here..” Chung Lim laughed.
“Sorry..” JongHun scratched his head.
“Mr Choi, if you want to call her-just call. It’s not that we’re gonna kill you for that..” Seung Yeon said.
“Yeah..just call..” Chung Lim added.
“Before that..is she hot?” HongKi asked.
“Yaaaah~~~” Ji Young whacked his head. “What kind of question is that?”
JongHun laughed again. This four person in front of him are now 20 years old but they act as if they were 10.
“Just call her..who know she might wait for your call” Chung Lim said.
Chung Lim and Seung Yeon were older than HongKi and Ji Young but all four of them are bestfriends. It’s great to see them hanging out together. They even said they already became friend since highschool.
“I can?” JongHun asked.
“Yes..hundred percent agreed..” Ji Young winked.
JongHun slowly pressed the button and placed the phone to his ear but only to hear a voice mail. A sudden disappointment appeared on his face.
“She didn’t pick up?” Seung Yeon asked. JongHun nodded.
“Maybe she’s busy or her battery is empty..” Ji Young guessed.
“Naa~only you will make that stupid mistake” HongKi teased again but later-Ji Young started to smack him again.
“Yaaah~you two..enough !!!” Chung Lim said-almost shouted and pointed to JongHun.
JongHun sighed.
~Oo@oO~
( At Baskin Robins )
I decided not to go home. I needed some peaceful time to make myself happy.
“Can I have..errr..” I asked.
Standing in front of the ice cream counter made me confused. I don’t know which flavor I wanted to eat.
“Miss..” the cashier waited for me.
“I…”
“Green tea, mix with rum raisin..” someone answered that for me. I was surprised. The other guy from the counter winked to me. Wait-he looked familiar. How did he know my favorites flavor.
“Is that what you want, miss?” the girl cashier asked me. I just nodded my head and before I could do anything, the guy disappeared. I frowned. Who was he ? He looked like high schooler.
After paying for the ice cream, I quickly sat at the corner of that place quietly. I was still wondering who this guy was. I can’t recall my memory but he looked familiar to me. Really familiar. Did I lose some memory ? When I tried so hard to erased Gyu from my brain, it’s another memory that I accidently erase. OMG
“Hi noona..” the guy who told my fave ice cream flavor to the girl cashier suddenly sat in front me-smiling. He already changed his uniform to some casual shirt. He called me noona?
“Stop staring at me..you will make my cheek burning red,” the guy said and slapped his own cheeks lightly with his two hand.
“Sorry.. I feel like I know you. Have we meet before?” I asked curiously.
The guy didn’t answer me quickly but he just chuckled. “Yah, you really forgot me..” he said pouting.
I frowned even more. I tried to remember but still failed. “I’m sorry.. I guess I’m just being old. By the way, how did you know what my favorite ice cream flavor was?”
He giggled. “ Noona..I’m Jaejin remember.”
Jaejin ? Jaejin who ? Wait...
+FLASHBACK+
Saki was walking near the South Niga Park that evening after school. That is when she suddenly heard some noisy voice. She quickly walked towards the voice and found a young boy in school uniform crying.
“What happened?” Saki asked.
“Those guy bullied me..” he pointed to some boys in the same school uniform but they were running away from him. “They hit me and ran away after that..”
Saki helped him to stand up and wiped the blood. “Aish..so irritating..” she said and glared to those troublemakers. “Let’s get something for your wound. How about an ice cream?”
The boy smiled as Saki offered him the treat. “Is it okay?”
Saki nodded. “Yes..let’s go. Baskin Robins is near…”
A few minutes later : “Yummy…” Saki tasted the ice cream happily.
“What flavor is this?” the boy looked at his ice cream weirdly. Saki laughed.
“Sorry.. I should have ask what flavor you wanted. I thought you have the same taste as me..babo me..” she said. “By the way, what’s your name? I’m Saki..”
“Saki noona…” he smiles. “I’m Jaejin. Lee Jaejin.”
“JJ…so cute..” Saki patted him.
“Hmm..this flavor is nice..what is this?”
“Green tea mix with rum raisin..”
+END OF FLASHBACK+
“Oh my…it’s you..”
How could I forget him while he didn't? He even remembered my favorite ice cream flavor.
“I’m sorry for not recognizing you just now. You look different..”
Jaejin smiled sweetly. One thing that remained the same about him was his smile. His sweet smile.
“Don’t worry noona. You remember me now so it’s better than nothing..”he said.
I sighed. “I guess I’m getting old now..”
Jaejin couldn’t help but laugh. “Don’t say that, I’m still your fan”
I rolled my eyes. Did he just say a fan of mine?
+FLASHBACK+
“Thank you Saki noona” Jaejin said happily.
“Ne Jaejin-chan..be a strong guy, don’t ever let other people step on your head okay” Saki adviced him.
“I will. Noona is the best. I’m your fan” he said-grinning.
+END IF FLASHBACK+
“Aaah…I remember you said that..” I laughed.
“I meant it. You know what, after that day-I've join Kendo and Taekwondo classes just to gain confidence. You’re right, I should become a strong man. Someday I’m the one who is going to protect my family and my beloved one..” Jaejin said with confidence. “It's thanks to you if i am who I am now”
Wow.. I did all that ? Wow..I don’t know what to say. I managed to change him. And he even get more confident. But actually, I can’t even do that to my own self. I drowned all of my low self-esteem. Easy to say, hard to do.
“ I didn’t do anything. Don’t say that. How old are you now?” I asked.
“17..” he replied. “Noona look so different now. You took off the braces. You look more pretty..noona is really pretty..” he said.
“Okay stop it..I might just melt here. Where do you learn to say all this nice words huh..” I knocked his head slightly. “You should be in school now”.
“Noona..are you on holidays? We’re having one week holiday. And my uncle owns this place so I came here to help. I’ve already finished my duty now...want to go somewhere with me?”
I blinked furiously. “Going somewhere? With you?”
Jaejin nodded. “Yeah-I’m asking you out..hahaha..Okay not really like that. I’m inviting you to have a good time. Are you working now?”
Oh my..he really asking me out. But I will not look it as a date. Me? Dating a highschooler ? That’s impossible. Plus, I’m not his taste..haha. Funny Saki. “Nope.. I'm still hunting for a job now so...”
“Yesss” Jaejin almost shout. Okay-at least I need some moment to chill out and have a good time. Time to forget all the bad day and of course In Gyu.
“Let’s go..”
We really had a great time. We watched three movies in a row. First, an action movie : Terminator Salvation. I was yawning and felt sleepy all the time. Terminator wasn’t my thing. Then we watched a sad movie which I forgot the title but I just watched it, and I cried so bad. It was kinda embarrassing since Jaejin tried to hold his laugh when i wiped my tears. And I could not remember how many times I pinched his arm for mocking me.
“You’re funny..” Jaejin burst out after we were out of the cinema.
“Jaejin..how dare you !!”
“I’m sorry..let’s go watch another one..” he practically grabbed my arm.
“Huh..wait..chotto matte..” I couldn’t do anything as we were already in the line for buying a ticket. I had to admit that some eyes were looking at us. Maybe we looked like a couple now? I even heard some of them whispering about how young Jaejin looked compared to me. Aigoo~
“Done..we’re watching this !!” Jaejin showed the ticket in front of my eyes.
“NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM 2 !!!!” I shrieked happily. “My fave..FIRE POWAAAA”
“Let’s go..” We went inside the cinema again. In my life-I have never really done this crazy thing. Watching three movies in a row-non-stop. But it was fun. I didn’t feel sad or mad anymore. Not even to Gyu. Jaejin made me forget everything.
I was laughing like crazy woman with him for two hours. We even dropped the popcorn and pretended as if it wasn’t us. We laughed crazily until people keep hushing us. But like Jaejin said-who cares !
We were walking from the cinema building. I felt like throwing up already. Too much popcorn and coke. Before cinema, we even had some nice cold noodles. I will definitely become fat if Jaejin was my boyfriend. Really.
“Jaejin..thank you” I said before we separated. “I really have a good time now..”
Jaejin smiles. “Did I manage to make you forgot all your sadness?” he asked.
“How did you know?”
“I can see it from your eyes. Noona, what I did to you are nothing compared to what you did to me that time..” he said. So he was returning my kindness. But I’m glad he did it this time.
“Thanks..I just have a really bad time recently. You make my day..”I said, constantly give him a peck on cheek. For a second, Jaejin stunned and touched his cheek. I could tell he was really blushing like mad now.
“Are you sure you don’t want me to send you home?” he asked worriedly. I just shook my head.
“That’s okay.. I still have to do something.” I glanced at my watch, it wa almost 9 o’clock now. We really spent so much time together that I didn’t realize how time flew.
“I have to go now noona..see you..call me when you need me okay” he said and waved to me.
Call him? How? I didn’t even know his number. “ But..”
“In your pocket..aigoo~ pay attention sometimes!” He said with laughed and walked away. Pocket? I looked in my pocket and saw a piece of paper. Jaejin actually slipped it there. His phone number. When did he do that? I didn’t notice at all..
To my greatest noona, call me when you need me..
Jaejin the cutest, xxx-xxxx-xxxx
I just smiled and kept the paper. A few moment later, i started to think about him again. I told him to wait for me at South Niga Park at nine. It’s already nine o’clock now. Did he wait for me? Should I go there and check ?
+oO@Oo+
Gyu sat on the nearest bench. He looked at his watch . “9 o’clock. I don’t know what you will say and why we have to meet here. You changed so much Saki..” Gyu said slowly. It was getting cold. The weather was not that good. Looked like it was going to rain but Gyu just sat there.
He knew he had to wait for Saki.
He have to do it. For the sake of Mi Joo and A’st1.
9:40p.m
Still no sign of Saki. Where is she? Gyu thought..
+oO@Oo+
Did he wait for me?
I almost stumbled down when I heard someone honking to me. I turned around and saw JongHun waving to me. I quickly walked to him.
“Yah..where did you go? I tried to call you but i couldn't join you” he said pouting.
“Ehh ? You did?’ I checked my bag and took out my phone. “Oh no..out of battery. I’m sorry oppa..”
“Out of battery?” he laughed. I confused. I thought he will get angry. “Jing was right then.” he mumbled.
“Huh?”
“Nevermind..where do you want to go now?” he asked.
“Home..” i replied bluntly. Part of me wanted to go South Niga Park and the other part wanted to go home.
“Are you sure?” he asked me curiously.
“Why?”
“You look like if you’re going somewhere else..” he said.
“No…I just want to go home..” I said and glanced to my watch. 10:45p.m. Did he still wait for me?
JongHun drove really fast as the weather seemed not good now. It looked like the rain might pour down in anytime. It was getting cold too. Gyu hated coldness. He might fell sick if he stay outside at this moment.
“Why are we heading to South Niga park now?” I looked around.
JongHun widened his eyes to me. “Are you okay Saki? We have to cross this to get to your home quickly. It looks like the rain might coming,” he said-looking at the sky.
Okay, I just freaked out easily. How could JongHun know I should meet someone here at this moment. I looked at my side, in a few minutes I will see whether Gyu was there or not.
11:05p.m
I saw a familiar figure sitting there, under the big tree. It was him. The car moved really fast. Slowly, he disappeared from my view. I really wanted to stop the car but I couldn’t. Gyu still waited for me?
“Saki…are you okay?” JongHun asked me.
I just shook my head. My heart clenched. I felt like crying? Did I make a big mistake by torturing him like this? He still waited there. Now I know how important Mi Joo and A’st1 are to him. I could feel my eyes getting teary now. Hang on Saki.
“Thank you oppa..” I said without looking back and ran into my house after the car stop. I quickly entered the room. I couldn’t help but cry. I don’t know why I’m crying but I do cry now. My tears kept rolling on my cheeks.
“Gyu I’m sorry..”
Rain started to fall and the wind blew heavily. I could picture him trembling due to coldness. I’m such an evil person. Why didn't he call me? Did he really expected me to be there?

“Sorry.. I should have ask what flavor you wanted. I thought you have the same taste as me..babo me..” she said. “By the way, what’s your name? I’m Saki..”
“Saki noona…” he smiles. “I’m Jaejin. Lee Jaejin.”
“JJ…so cute..” Saki patted him.
“Hmm..this flavor is nice..what is this?”
“Green tea mix with rum raisin..”
+END OF FLASHBACK+
“Oh my…it’s you..”
How could I forget him while he didn't? He even remembered my favorite ice cream flavor.
“I’m sorry for not recognizing you just now. You look different..”
Jaejin smiled sweetly. One thing that remained the same about him was his smile. His sweet smile.
“Don’t worry noona. You remember me now so it’s better than nothing..”he said.
I sighed. “I guess I’m getting old now..”
Jaejin couldn’t help but laugh. “Don’t say that, I’m still your fan”
I rolled my eyes. Did he just say a fan of mine?
+FLASHBACK+
“Thank you Saki noona” Jaejin said happily.
“Ne Jaejin-chan..be a strong guy, don’t ever let other people step on your head okay” Saki adviced him.
“I will. Noona is the best. I’m your fan” he said-grinning.
+END IF FLASHBACK+
“Aaah…I remember you said that..” I laughed.
“I meant it. You know what, after that day-I've join Kendo and Taekwondo classes just to gain confidence. You’re right, I should become a strong man. Someday I’m the one who is going to protect my family and my beloved one..” Jaejin said with confidence. “It's thanks to you if i am who I am now”
Wow.. I did all that ? Wow..I don’t know what to say. I managed to change him. And he even get more confident. But actually, I can’t even do that to my own self. I drowned all of my low self-esteem. Easy to say, hard to do.
“ I didn’t do anything. Don’t say that. How old are you now?” I asked.
“17..” he replied. “Noona look so different now. You took off the braces. You look more pretty..noona is really pretty..” he said.
“Okay stop it..I might just melt here. Where do you learn to say all this nice words huh..” I knocked his head slightly. “You should be in school now”.
“Noona..are you on holidays? We’re having one week holiday. And my uncle owns this place so I came here to help. I’ve already finished my duty now...want to go somewhere with me?”
I blinked furiously. “Going somewhere? With you?”
Jaejin nodded. “Yeah-I’m asking you out..hahaha..Okay not really like that. I’m inviting you to have a good time. Are you working now?”
Oh my..he really asking me out. But I will not look it as a date. Me? Dating a highschooler ? That’s impossible. Plus, I’m not his taste..haha. Funny Saki. “Nope.. I'm still hunting for a job now so...”
“Yesss” Jaejin almost shout. Okay-at least I need some moment to chill out and have a good time. Time to forget all the bad day and of course In Gyu.
“Let’s go..”
We really had a great time. We watched three movies in a row. First, an action movie : Terminator Salvation. I was yawning and felt sleepy all the time. Terminator wasn’t my thing. Then we watched a sad movie which I forgot the title but I just watched it, and I cried so bad. It was kinda embarrassing since Jaejin tried to hold his laugh when i wiped my tears. And I could not remember how many times I pinched his arm for mocking me.
“You’re funny..” Jaejin burst out after we were out of the cinema.
“Jaejin..how dare you !!”
“I’m sorry..let’s go watch another one..” he practically grabbed my arm.
“Huh..wait..chotto matte..” I couldn’t do anything as we were already in the line for buying a ticket. I had to admit that some eyes were looking at us. Maybe we looked like a couple now? I even heard some of them whispering about how young Jaejin looked compared to me. Aigoo~
“Done..we’re watching this !!” Jaejin showed the ticket in front of my eyes.
“NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM 2 !!!!” I shrieked happily. “My fave..FIRE POWAAAA”
“Let’s go..” We went inside the cinema again. In my life-I have never really done this crazy thing. Watching three movies in a row-non-stop. But it was fun. I didn’t feel sad or mad anymore. Not even to Gyu. Jaejin made me forget everything.
I was laughing like crazy woman with him for two hours. We even dropped the popcorn and pretended as if it wasn’t us. We laughed crazily until people keep hushing us. But like Jaejin said-who cares !
We were walking from the cinema building. I felt like throwing up already. Too much popcorn and coke. Before cinema, we even had some nice cold noodles. I will definitely become fat if Jaejin was my boyfriend. Really.
“Jaejin..thank you” I said before we separated. “I really have a good time now..”
Jaejin smiles. “Did I manage to make you forgot all your sadness?” he asked.
“How did you know?”
“I can see it from your eyes. Noona, what I did to you are nothing compared to what you did to me that time..” he said. So he was returning my kindness. But I’m glad he did it this time.
“Thanks..I just have a really bad time recently. You make my day..”I said, constantly give him a peck on cheek. For a second, Jaejin stunned and touched his cheek. I could tell he was really blushing like mad now.
“Are you sure you don’t want me to send you home?” he asked worriedly. I just shook my head.
“That’s okay.. I still have to do something.” I glanced at my watch, it wa almost 9 o’clock now. We really spent so much time together that I didn’t realize how time flew.
“I have to go now noona..see you..call me when you need me okay” he said and waved to me.
Call him? How? I didn’t even know his number. “ But..”
“In your pocket..aigoo~ pay attention sometimes!” He said with laughed and walked away. Pocket? I looked in my pocket and saw a piece of paper. Jaejin actually slipped it there. His phone number. When did he do that? I didn’t notice at all..
To my greatest noona, call me when you need me..
Jaejin the cutest, xxx-xxxx-xxxx
I just smiled and kept the paper. A few moment later, i started to think about him again. I told him to wait for me at South Niga Park at nine. It’s already nine o’clock now. Did he wait for me? Should I go there and check ?
+oO@Oo+
Gyu sat on the nearest bench. He looked at his watch . “9 o’clock. I don’t know what you will say and why we have to meet here. You changed so much Saki..” Gyu said slowly. It was getting cold. The weather was not that good. Looked like it was going to rain but Gyu just sat there.
He knew he had to wait for Saki.
He have to do it. For the sake of Mi Joo and A’st1.
9:40p.m
Still no sign of Saki. Where is she? Gyu thought..
+oO@Oo+
Did he wait for me?
I almost stumbled down when I heard someone honking to me. I turned around and saw JongHun waving to me. I quickly walked to him.
“Yah..where did you go? I tried to call you but i couldn't join you” he said pouting.
“Ehh ? You did?’ I checked my bag and took out my phone. “Oh no..out of battery. I’m sorry oppa..”
“Out of battery?” he laughed. I confused. I thought he will get angry. “Jing was right then.” he mumbled.
“Huh?”
“Nevermind..where do you want to go now?” he asked.
“Home..” i replied bluntly. Part of me wanted to go South Niga Park and the other part wanted to go home.
“Are you sure?” he asked me curiously.
“Why?”
“You look like if you’re going somewhere else..” he said.
“No…I just want to go home..” I said and glanced to my watch. 10:45p.m. Did he still wait for me?
JongHun drove really fast as the weather seemed not good now. It looked like the rain might pour down in anytime. It was getting cold too. Gyu hated coldness. He might fell sick if he stay outside at this moment.
“Why are we heading to South Niga park now?” I looked around.
JongHun widened his eyes to me. “Are you okay Saki? We have to cross this to get to your home quickly. It looks like the rain might coming,” he said-looking at the sky.
Okay, I just freaked out easily. How could JongHun know I should meet someone here at this moment. I looked at my side, in a few minutes I will see whether Gyu was there or not.
11:05p.m
I saw a familiar figure sitting there, under the big tree. It was him. The car moved really fast. Slowly, he disappeared from my view. I really wanted to stop the car but I couldn’t. Gyu still waited for me?
“Saki…are you okay?” JongHun asked me.
I just shook my head. My heart clenched. I felt like crying? Did I make a big mistake by torturing him like this? He still waited there. Now I know how important Mi Joo and A’st1 are to him. I could feel my eyes getting teary now. Hang on Saki.
“Thank you oppa..” I said without looking back and ran into my house after the car stop. I quickly entered the room. I couldn’t help but cry. I don’t know why I’m crying but I do cry now. My tears kept rolling on my cheeks.
“Gyu I’m sorry..”
Rain started to fall and the wind blew heavily. I could picture him trembling due to coldness. I’m such an evil person. Why didn't he call me? Did he really expected me to be there?
