CHAPTER 21

“Do you really like her that much?” Taeyeon asked

“Nugu?” Taemin asked back

“uh.. Who came in your mind first when I asked that?”

“to tell you the truth noona it’s Suzy.”

“Ok. Tell me… do you really like her that much?”

“Yes noona.”

-

Sulli heard them talking…

-

As she hear them tears began to form from her eyes…

-

The next morning… Sulli went to Taemin’s house.

“What brings you here?” Taemin asked

“There’s an important thing you should know…” Sulli said.

“Mwonde?”

“I will give you the answer that you were asking for just exactly a month ago.” Sulli said.

Taemin looked at her.

“I have to give the answer right away whether you still need it or not…” she continued.

“What a sudden rush in here? Telling your answer in this odd situation?” Taemin asked.

“Because I can’t wait for the right timing to talk to you… because I always feel coward…”

Taemin brows met. “Whatever your answer is, you’re still the best friend I don’t ever wanna lose.” He uttered.

“Arrasso… I have to spill it out Taemin-ah… whether you’re still curious about it or not…” she answered.

“Please…-- Taemin hugged Sulli. “I don’t want to lose a friend at this moment…” he continued.

Sulli released herself from Taemin… slowly.

“Yes Taemin-ah… from time to time, and from that time you asked me whether I’m still in love with you or not, I always do love you… MORE LIKE A FRIEND. That never changed…” Sulli said.

Taemin looked at her blankly.

“Now I am wondering, how’d you feel about me too?” Sulli began asking him.

Taemin can’t give her an answer.

“Alright… I’ll wait for you at the Han River tomorrow at 6pm. If you won’t come, then it just means goodbye…”

“Wait… why goodbye?” Taemin asked.

“If you won’t come at 6pm, meaning to say you’re choosing Suzy over me. And for that, I think you’d answer my question. I’ll wait for you” Sulli left rushing… She too can’t believe that she said that.

-

“Noona… Sulli is asking me what I feel towards her… But I can’t tell what it really is…” Taemin said

“why? What do you really feel about her? Just tell her ok? Don’t let her assume.” Taeyeon answered.

“And she’s asking me to meet her at Han River tomorrow at 6pm.”

“Then meet her…”

“She said if I won’t come, it means I’m choosing Suzy over her.”

“So, what are you planning now?” she asked

“Molla-yo…”

-

The next day…

“Taemin-ah… Do you have something to do today?” Suzy asked.

“Yes… I am going to tutor you…”

“Aish! Can we have some rest… pretty please?” Suzy begged him. Taemin can’t resist her innocent looks.

“Alright… Just this day, let’s get some rest.”

“Wanna see a movie later?”

“Yah! Is that a rest?”

“Please… It’s been a long time since the last time I watch a movie alone…”

Taemin really can’t resist her. “Alright.”

“asssssa!”

-

So they went to a movie house to watch a movie… Meanwhile, Sulli went to Han River, although hopeless, she just wanted to see if Taemin will still choose her over Suzy or the otherwise. She went there hopeless.

The movie was finished at 5:45pm. Taemin has still 15 minutes to think over…

Taemin keeps looking on his wrist watch…

“Taemin-ah… why do you keep on looking on your watch?” Suzt asked

“Ahh… nothing… Since the movie is finished… I’ll walk you home.” Taemin said

“Ahh?! I haven’t enjoy the day yet… Let’s go to a noraebang…” Suzy suggested.
