*Ring Ring Ring*

Haven’t finished his words his phone rings. I thought my heart was going to stop.

“I’m sorry” He said while taking out his phone

“It’s ok, go ahead” I said and smile

Yet, inside me, I feel a little disappointed. I turn and look at the tree while waiting for him. The Christmas tree looks so beautiful. I always feel amazed whenever I look at it.

“Chorong” He calls me again, I turn and smile at him.

“So, what do you want to say to me, Bom-ah?” I ask him

“I hope what he’s going to say is what I hope for a long time.” I thought

He comes closer to me and holds my hands again. Suddenly he pulls me closer to him and presses his lips on mine. I widen my eyes in surprise. Then slowly I close my eyes and reply his kiss. He kisses me lovingly and gently while caressing my face. I can feel my heart beats extremely fast. Then we break the kiss and look at each other

“M...my cousin said that if I can’t express my feeling by words then you can show it by action” Bomi said to me

“What do you mean, Bom-ah? I don’t understand. Why did you kiss me?” I ask innocently

“Ah….Uhm….” He is thinking while scratching his head.

“He looks so cute being like that” I thought and smile

“If nothing then I will go” I said and act like turning away

“Wait, Chorong-ah.” He calls and catches my hand

“What is it, Bom-ah?” I look at him and ask

“Uhm…I…I…” He keeps scratching his neck and stutter

I bend and kiss his lips again. Then I move back and ask

“What do you want to say, Bom-ah?” I ask him and smile brightly

“Chorong-ah, the truth is I love you for a very long time. Will you be my girlfriend?” Bomi said to me seriously while holding my hands tightly

I stun by his words. Those three words, I’m waiting for so long. I can feel my face getting hot. I look at him with happy eyes and smile brightly at him. I lean closer to him and whisper

“Bom-ah, I love you”

He hugs me tightly

“I love you, Chorong-ah. From the day, I saw you under this tree.” He whispers in my ear

“Bomi, I’m very happy, right now” I said and tighten my hug.

Then we break the hug and look at each other lovingly. We move our face closer to each other until our lips touch each other. We hug each other while deepen our kiss.

The City Square

“Chorong-ah, you know what the day you accepted my confession, I see the whole world around me brighter. I can feel my heart jumping in joy.”

“I thought that we can be together forever. I planned a lot of things to do with you in the future. But, I never thought that the next Christmas is the last day I’ll meet you. I never thought that your random question on that night was your intention.” Bomi whispers

~Flashback~

Bomi’s POV

It’s already Christmas Eve and here I am in the City Square where I first met Chorong

After playing around and enjoy our date night, Chorong and I go back to the Christmas tree. This is our third Christmas. I’m very happy. We sit there and entwine our hands. Chorong rests her head on my shoulder.

“Chorong, are you having fun today?” I ask her

“Uh, more than you could ever imagine, Bom-ah. This is the happiest day in my life.” She said and smiles at me

“This place will always be the most precious place to me because I met you here. I met a wonderful, nice, gentle, and the most lovable person.” She said to me

“Bom-ah, you are the most important person to me more than my life. I love you more than anything” She said while holding my hand tighter

I turn and hug her tightly in my arms. Her words make me so happy.

“Chorong-ah, I love you, too. More than what you could imagine. Being with you is my most happiness. You are so important to me that I can’t describe it by normal word” I said and tighten my hug

“Bom-ah” She calls me softly

“What is it, Chorong-ah?” I ask her

“What if…..” She pauses

I stay silent and wait for her to continue

“What if one day, I suddenly disappear forever, will you hate me because of that? Will you still remember me? Will you find somemhmm...”

Cutting her words, I seal her lips with mine. I kiss her slowly and gently. Then I break the kiss and look at her

“Don't say thing like that Chorong-ah. I will never hate you no matter what. I also will never forget you no matter what. You are here, Chorong-ah. Your position is in here. There is no way I can forget about you” I said while pointing at my heart

“Don't ever ask me to love someone else. That thing is impossible. In my heart, there is only you. My heart is only open for you. You hold its key. It will never open the second time for anyone ever” I seriously said to her

“Bom-ah” She calls me

I can see her tear

“I will answer your question if it makes you feel better. One day, if you suddenly disappear, I will always wait for you until I disappear from this world” I said to her seriously

“Bomi” She calls me and hugs me tightly while burying her face on my chest

“So don't ask that question again, okay?” I pat her head and said

“Un” She nods
