" Where do you want to eat? " Dean asked before he started the engine.

Hayi didn't respond. She was staring blankly outside the window. Dean heaved deeply and turned off the engine. He looked at her as he held on to the steering wheel.

" Hayi, will you please look at me. What' s wrong with you? I don't even know why you suddenly disappeared from me. Don't you know I was like crazy looking for you for the past five years?" Dean asked, feeling exasperated with her reticence.

There was silence in the car for a while. Dean d for the necklace in his inner pocket. He took her hand and put it in her palm. " I think is long overdue. " Then he said tenderly, " Happy fifth anniversary to the woman who stole my heart five years, two months and three days ago to be exact."

" I said that because it's true! Didn't I ask from Miss. Min that I would like to speak to my girlfriend? Until now you're still my girlfriend because we didn't break up nor have any closure. To remind you Miss. Lee, you were the one who went on hiding, so whether you like it or not, you're still my girlfriend,period! Can we go now? " he asked almost losing his patience.
