To see you again
It Started with a Wedding
Your POV
You stayed in Seoul for one more day to visit your parents. They were so happy to see you again.
“You should come home once in a while…” Your mom said as you wait for everyone’s car.
You were standing in front of the hotel. Your family had lunch together with Siwon and his mom.
Everyone is happy and the get together had a light atmosphere. The tension from last time totally
vanished. Now, everyone talk and laugh like what you used to.
“I’ll try to visit you when I’m free from work…”
“Now that we know where to find you, we could visit you if you can’t come..” said your dad.
“Ne…I might tour you around…”
Your parent’s car is now in front of you. The valet parker came out of it and hand over the key to
your father.
“____ah…”
“You can go now umma…my car is here too.” You said pointing at the car coming.
“Promise me you won’t go far again…” She said as she embraced you.
“Ne…”
“We’ll see you soon..” Your dad gave you a hug too.
“Ne…drive safely dad.”
The two ride the car.
“I’m really glad to see that you’re doing well now…take care of yourself___ah…”
Siwon’s mom said while holding your hand.
“I’m happy to see you too Auntie…Be healthy..”
She nodded and rides another car. Siwon opened your car door for you. You were about to ride to it
when he talk.
“He’s wearing the same wristwatch.” He said looking at your wristwatch. You eyed him.
“We ran to each other about a week ago. He now knows what happened.”
You didn’t say anything.
“Don’t hesitate….both of you still wear that thing meaning you still love each other.
Stop hiding yourself from him…Tell him how you feel. I’m sure he’ll take you back with open
arms…”
You gave him a reserved smile.
“I’m not sure if I would like to go back there…I don’t have that confidence anymore.”
“____ ah…”
“I’ll go now…see you..”
You tapped his arm lightly before riding your car. Not long after, his car came next to yours on the
road. Both of you opened your windows.
“I’ll see you again…Take care!” He said.
“Got that…drive safely!” You answered.
You separated at the end by lifting on different roads.

Jaejoong’s POV
He was on a middle of a meal with his mother and dongsaeng when he received a message.
From: Choi Siwon
To: Jaejoong
Unit G, 2nd flr.Sanghyeon Apartment Anmyoung-dong, Chuncheon.
That’s her address. This is the least I could do to help you. I give you both my blessing. You
deserve to be together. I wish for your happiness.
Good luck.
His heart stops beating for a bit. Before he could think, his body moved on its own.
“Ommoni….Seohyun, I have to go…”
He comes out of the restaurant and reaches for his car door.
“Jaejoong ah!”
“Oppa!”
He stops and sees them at the restaurant’s entry.
“You’re going to ___unnie right?”
“You found her?! Where is ____?” Your mom asks.
“She’s in Chuncheon umma.” Seohyun answered for him.
“You know too? Why aren’t you saying anything?” She asks her.
“I saw her on the volunteer activity I attended last week. She told me not to tell anyone
but I’m about to tell oppa about it…he just figured it out first….Oppa, she volunteers at
Daegyoung Home for the Aged and works at the preschool around that place.”
“Thank you Seohyun ah.”
“What are you waiting for? Come and get back my daughter-in-law!”
“Ne ommoni.”
“Good luck oppa!”
He boarded his car right away with a big hope in his heart.

Jaejoong's POV
He first went to the home for the aged but he didn't have the luck to see her there. Instead, the
person he asked told him that she's in the preschool and gave him the address.
He reaches the said school. It is a small one. He walks around but he not a single glimpse of her
from any of those classrooms he passed by. Then he went to the school ground. There's a group of
kids in the playground. Each one is actively playing.
“Ae Kyoung ah....what's the matter? Why are you alone here and not playing with your
classmates?”
His attention is caught by the woman who sits in front of a little girl. She's wearing a simple floral
dress with a white cardigan. Some strands of her long hair have been tied by a thin handkerchief.
Jaejoong's heart skips. It's _____.
The little girl rubs her eyes with her little fist.
“Are you sleepy?” she asks in which the girl nods.
“Come here..” ____ carries the girl in her arms. Then she looks after the other kids.
“Teacher!” Some of the kids call her waving before sliding down the slide.
She smiles and waves back at them. After a while, ____ turns to his side and sees him. Her eyes
widen as she looks at him.

Your POV
Your mind is blank. You were walking for sometime now but nobody is saying anything.
“Aren't you going to say anything to me?” Jaejoong says.
“Ah....? Congratulations...I heard that you just finished a big construction project...” you
tried to make it casual.
“You know that's not why I'm here.” His face is very serious.
“Do you want some coffee? There's a good cafe nearby...let me treat you.” you continue
with your charade. He grabs you by the arm to stop you from making a step.
“Stop with that foolish smile of yours.....”
The fake smile on your face fades.
“Do you know that the moment I heard that you're here, my feet started
moving?....along the way, my heart is uneasy...nervously thinking what to say to you....how to
act in front of you...I'm anxiously wanting to see you. How come you could still be that calm as if
you just saw an old friend?” Pain is in his voice but still you didn't answer.
“You....you've been here all these time...why didn't you come to see me?” he asks.
“If I come to you that day then what? We'll continue dating and be happy as if nothing
happened? You'll forgive a woman who told you that she loves you but left you for another
man? I don't think I could live like that.” You say with a stiff expression on your face.
“Not a single moment that I forgot about you...When you left, I tried to live well with
you in my mind..I missed you so much. Didn't you miss me even a little?”
“You lived well. Just continue with that and don't even think of going back to old days.
I'm really happy to know that you're okay. You've done greater than I expected you to. You
don't have to worry about me anymore because as you can see, I'm in a better place too.”
“Am I nothing to you now?”
“To me, you'll always be the person I feel sorry for....and so it would be good if you can
start forgetting me and move on totally..”
“Is that what you really want?”
You remove his hand from holding your arm.
“It's better this way.”
You turn your back on him and started walking.
___________________________________________________________________
You walked and walked without a destination in mind. Your steps become slower before finally it
stop.
You did what's good for him....you mind says
You miss him as much as he misses you...a small voice in your head says
If you let go of him again this time, you won't see him anymore!
Your feet moves and start running back. You run as fast as you could until you reach the spot
where you left him but he's not there. You look around hoping to see him but failed.
“The bus stop!”
You run to the bus stop nearby.
“Jaejoong don't go....don't go and wait for me....” you utter.
You are near the bus stop when you see the bus left.
“Jaejoong sshi!”
You stop and your tears roll down your cheeks.
“Once again, I pushed you away....I'm sorry...I'm sorry...”
As if your feet lost their energy, you just sit on the street crying and the bus disappears from your
sight.
