Chapter 38
Lost LoveAreum was awaken by light on her face. She scrunched her face and opened her eyes just to be greeted by Vivi. Areum smiled.
“Good morning Vivi.” The dog replied with a light bark. Areum got up and looked around. Right, I’m at Sehun’s. She got up and did her morning routine, finding a new toothbrush was already laid out for her. After she was done she walked out, with Vivi following her, and spotted a sleeping figure on the couch. She walked over and notices it was Sehun’s. I’m sorry you had to sleep on the couch because of me. Areum then looked over to the kitchen. I’ll make him breakfast. She left and started breakfast. After she was done she went over to Sehun to wake him up. Areum bent down to his level and was about to wake him up just to stop and stare at his face. She was mesmerized at his handsome face. I always knew you were handsome Oh Sehun, but puberty did you well. She looked at his milky white skin and reached out a hand. She touched his eyebrows, eyes, to his nose, his cheeks, and his lips. What am I doing, I must be crazy. She thought to herself. She was so into admiring her best friend she didn’t notice that he was waking up.
"You know its not polite to stare at someone when they're sleeping. Or touch them without consent." Sehun said as opened his eyes.
Areum blushed while Sehun smirked at her. Areum then pulled his blankets over his face and pushed him.
“Shut up! I made breakfast for you idiot. Hurry and wash up before I give it to Vivi.” She walked away feeling her face heat up while Sehun went to wash up chuckling. When Sehun arrived at the tale he was face with an American style breakfast.
He sat down and eyed the food cautiously. “I won’t die eating this right?”
Areum glared at him, “You ungrateful brat don’t eat it then! I’ll give it to Vivi!” she tried to take away the plate which Sehun moved away from her reach.
“Kidding! Geez, I’ll eat it.” He said smiling as he ate his breakfast. After they finished Areum was washing the dishes. Sehun came over to help her.
“Aren’t you working today?”
Sehun shook his head. Areum looked down and continued to wash the dishes.
“I’m not a child you know.” she said sofly not making eye contact with him. “I’ll be fine. I know you’re worried about me but I’m fine. I’m stronger than you think.” She looked at Sehun with a small smile.
Sheun looked at her and pressed his lips together. “Areum….”
“I’m fine Sehun. I promise. Go, dress up. I’ll finish here.” She pushed him towards his bedroom. Sehun looked reluctantly at her before going to change. He was walking out tying his tie when he saw Areum on his couch with Vivi.
“You’re sure you’re fine right?”
“Yes I’m sure dad.” Areum chuckled and stood up and swatted his hands away. “How are you not good with tying ties even though you’ve been wearing suits since forever?” she teased as she tied it for him.
Sehun looked down at her softly.
“There.” She stepped back. “Very handsome.” She grinned at him. Sehun step forward to her and pulled her towards him into a hug. Areum was surprised but returned the hug.
“Whats this for?”
“Because I wanted a hug before I went to work.” Sehun smiled and let go. “You’re sure you’re ok?”
“Yes I’m sure. Now go to work before you’re late.” She pushed him out the door. “Bye.” She waved and smiled. Once Sehun was gone Areum’s smile faded and she looked down at Vivi who was by her feet. She bent down and pick the dog up. “I’ll be ok right Vivi?” She said sadly. She her phone and saw all her missed calls most which was from Kris, but then it went black. She ran out of batteries. Shrugging it off because she didn't want to be bothered with calls anyways she left it on the table and went to change.
Sehun was driving towards work but his mind was still on Areum. He didn’t feel right leaving her.
“Thank you.” Areum said as she paid the taxi driver and got out of the car. It was already around 4 in the afternoon when she got there. She walked out and looked at the building. Namsan Tower.
A bitter smile formed on her face and she started walking towards the buildings. It was her second time there but the feeling she had while coming here was completely different from the first time. She looked around at all the couples and sighed. She reached the area where the love locks were located and then she started searching. She started searching. Areum was searching for almost 2 hours. There were so many padlocks there and she was beginning to think that she won’t ever find it. She sighed. Where can it be? When she was about to give up she spotted it. Two padlocks locked into place next to each other. She bent down and looked at it.
“I found it.” She said as a small smile spread on her lips. “I found it.” She said softly. She looked at the writing on the two and couldn’t help the tears forming in her eyes. Her thumb caressed over the writings.
To be with the one I love forever. PA & WYF
To be with her forever. I love you my wife. Wu Yifan will always love Park Areum.
A small chuckle came out of her when she saw the drawings on one of the padlock.
