Episode Six

Jung Eunji

The moment her arms wrapped around my neck, the way she dragged me close as she engulfed me in a hug… it made another crack in my once broken heart. You ever watched How I Met Your Mother before? That girl… she’s like my Robin Scherbatsky. The girl you loved so much, but can’t be with. The type of a passionate love, not really the first but the one that lasts for a millennia, and nothing could seem to compare against her. That no matter whom you meet, what you do, nothing will ever feel like it would be with Robin.

“One more word from your filthy mouth and I’m not thinking twice of making you smell my foot later in your room!” I acted like slapping him, but he just laughed and sat beside me in the ground, looking up at the sky.

“Why are you so worked up, noona? Namjoo showed up in front of you once again?” He asked, almost throwing me off in shock.

“You only act like that when she shows up. Why? Did she ask you to out on a date once again?”

I shook my head. “No… Namjoo isn’t like that. She just asked how I was and kissed my cheek before leaving once again. I couldn’t even say much.”

“That’s how she is… She just comes and goes… You know how she’s scared of relationships right? She d
