Chapter 21: Dream come true
A call from his mobile phone wakes them up.
“dad?” he answered the call then he hung up.
“why?” she asked
“I have to go to my dad’s office” he replied
-
“How was it?” she asked as soon as Geun Suk came back, she’s waiting at the living room that time.
He remained silent
“why? What is it?” she’s starting to get nervous
“Dad wants me to go to New York” he said
“what? Why?”
“One of the branches there is not doing well, he wants me to take over there”
“Then it means…?”
“Yes, I’ll go” he said as if he can read her mind
She’s lying on her bed thinking why it is happening to them, it’s not that long that their relationship became good and now they have to be separated. She wants to come with him but he refused saying that she needs to study and he wants to concentrate doing business there, so she have no choice.
-
It’s his farewell party; his friends are there in their house, also Uee. She’s standing outside, while Geun Suk and his friends are inside drinking.
“Mind if I join you?”
“Uee-unni” she smiled
“I heard you got jealous because of me” Uee said
She was embarrassed
“Geun Suk and me is just friends, besides I’m already engaged” she said while putting up her hand so Shin Hye can see her ring
“really?” she asked
“yes, I’m going to share a secret to you” uee said
“what is it?”
-
Geun Suk is looking at her. Then Yong Hwa came and gave him a glass of wine
“you’re so in love with her” yong hwa said
He smiled
“what makes you love her so much?” Yong hwa curiously asked
“I won’t tell you” Geun Suk smilingly said
“why?” Yong hwa asked
“because If I did, you will love her too” Geun Suk said
“or should I say, you will love her more” he said looking at yong Hwa
“what do you mean?” Yong hwa asked
“bro, I know you, your every moves, I know what it means, so I know that you like her” Geun Suk said
“you’re right. So what are you going to do now?” yong hwa asked
“nothing. But remember, if when we’re still kids, I used to share my things to you..” he paused
“but not her” he said while staring at her
“I know” Yong hwa smiled
“so since you’re too selfish, why all of a sudden you decided to go to New York?” Yong Hwa asked
“I have to” he answered
“Then how about Shin Hye, you’re going to leave her?” Yong hwa asked
“I’d rather leave her for a while than forever” he said
-
Geun Suk decided to take over their business in New York, because it’s not doing well, and aside from that, this branch is where Shin Hye’s father invested too much, so if her father will know it, there’s a possibility that her father will call off their wedding, and he doesn’t want that.
-
“Call me once you get there, okay? She commanded
“and always call me” she added
“I know, how many times do you have to repeat it?” he said
She pouted.
“hey, don’t go out with other guys, if they asked if you have boyfriend, tell them that you’re married, do you get it?” he commanded
She nodded and tiptoed to kiss him.
He was shocked
“you’re daring” he smilingly commented
“now we’re even” she said
“eh?”
“I heard from Uee-unni, the first kissed was in my classroom” she winked
Geun Suk smiled “that Uee” he said
-
She see him off with a smile, though Geun Suk never told her that he loves her, she’s confident that Geun Suk will come back for her.
-
She’s looking at her mobile phone since a while now, It’s already night but still Geun Suk didn’t contact her, It’s already days since the last time he called saying that he’s going to stay there for another year, she’s worried that maybe there’s something bad happened to him, or worst is he met some other girls there, her thoughts was distracted when her mobile phone rings
“Oppa!”
“I’m not your oppa”
“oh, sorry, what is it Onee-chan?” she was disappointed
“why I can’t call you? Anyway there’s something I want to give you, but I have no time to go there, just meet me at the park near your house” Ha mi instructed
“Okay sis”
-
She went to the park, it’s so dark except for the light in the middle, there’s someone standing there person
“Onee-chan?” she called
She can’t still see because it’s too dark, she walk closer and to her surprised
“Oppa!”
He just smiled
“I thought you’re going to stay there for another year? Why you didn’t contact me for three consecutive days? You made me worried” she said
“Yah! Why are you not answering me” She shouted
Geun Suk walked closer to her and took her hand.
“Pabo! True Love doesn’t need words” he said.
“And you pretend that you’re not listening that time” Shin Hye smiled
Geun Suk smiled and hugged her tightly
“I missed you” she said
“I missed you more”
