Chapter 8 - Packed Lunch
Better in TimeJong Kook and Ji Hyo sat on the bench. They’re still outside the hospital. He told her what happen to Rae Won and why Soo Ae is like that to him.
“It’s not your fault...” Ji Hyo said after hearing his story.
Jong Kook looks at her. “You know I’ve been in your situation...I almost...killed myself...” he smiles sadly. “My best friend is gone...I saved lives everyday...but I can’t even save him...I feel so useless then...I felt so alone...and hurt...Why did I left him to be alone?...” he stops trying not to cry.
“But then Rae Won saves me...how I didn’t know…but he did it...in his exceptional way...We all have been in that point of life...when we feel so down and wanted to give up...heaven is really testing us...but all we must do is...hold on...and keep on going...because all we need to know is...everything will be okay...right?...” he smiles at her.
Ji Hyo nodded. “Ne~...Everything will be okay...I really admire your personality Jong Kook-ssi...and the goodness of your heart...You’re really strong...” she said.
“And you are too...I’m really happy for you...”
“You don’t have to worry that much...I’ll be okay...I’ve decided to move forward...”
“So what’s your first move then?...Hmmm...What do you do before?...”
“I’m a chef...I work on a hotel before...As you know...I’m not working now...I stop...”
“Any plans?...or is there anything you’re planning before?...or anything you want?...” Jong Kook asked continuously. He’s really excited hearing her plans.
“Hmmmm...I really do want to have my own restaurant...” she said thinking about it.
“Do it then...I’m sure it will be jjang~!...” he smiles.
Ji Hyo smiles too looking at him. “How can you be so sure with that...you don’t even have a taste---...”
“Then cook for me...cook something for me...” Jong Kook suddenly said. “Hmmm…you’ll cook right?...” he said and pouts.
Ji Hyo is looking at him and can’t help but laugh. “Don’t do that…” she said still can’t believe he’s acting cute. Jong Kook didn’t stop. He is still pouting.
“Araseo~…You win…” Ji Hyo said.
“ASA~…Promise?...” he said.
“Promise…” she said.
