I was totally in agony! I was doubtful if I would go out or not!

I don’t know how to face him, I don’t know how to talk to
him, I don’t know if I could control myself!

But I can’t hide myself in this comfort room forever.

“My all the gods in the Greece help me” I told myself as I went out of the comfort room.

I tried my very best to ignore him, but unfortunately, he tried his very best to be near me.

I walked away from him, as fast as I could. When I was so
confident enough to know that he was not following me, I
looked back.

And there, I saw him right at my back!

“why are you following me?!” I yelled at him

“Then why are you running away from me?” he asked back.

“I asked you first!”

“I just wanna have chat with you! is that bad?”

“No..Not really” I said and paused.

I got really guilty. Why the hell was I running away from him anyway

He might think I’m crazy right now..

“ Then why are you ignoring me? It’s as if I have some kind of disease.” He said.

Okay! His face made me feel like I’m a criminal! AHHH!

“I’m sorry! It’s just that, I have to go home now. I have a
lot work to do.” I said, shame on me, I’m really an idiot!

“what? That fast?” he said.

Once again, I felt guilty! What is he trying to imply with those words?!

“yeah.” I answered.

“then can we meet again?” he asked.

OH MY GOD! He really asked me that! I was so happy, he wanted to see me again!!!!

“Maybe, I don’t know!” I said as I walk away from him.

Yes, I walked away because I was afraid to fall for him even more.

It’s been years since I had that feeling for him, and for
those years that I was gone away, I was already over him (i thought i was over him).

I don’t want to go back to the old Mi Young who is head
over heels towards a guy that she doesn’t have a chance
with.

So, I walked away from him.

Unknowingly, he followed me; he flashed himself in front of me and blocked my way.

“wait! Can I at least have your mobile number?” he asked.

“my number? Wait! Why?” I asked.

“As I said before, I want to have a chat with you. Mi
Young, or Tiffany, whatever your new name is, you are still
the Mi Young who I always ask about my assignments, the Mi
Young who once have seated at my back and the Mi Young
that I never had a chance to be friends with” he explained
to me.

I froze in front of him. It felt like I was struck by
thunder bolt of Zeus or the arrow of cupid.

I was struck by those words. He actually remembered those
events before I left school.

Before I totally lost my mind, I analyzed every word that
he said, until I reached the word friends.

All this time, he wanted to be friends with me, just friends with me.

I laughed at myself. All this time I wondered why he left
school after I moved, why he gave me that pin, and why he
asked about any news about me, it was actually because he
wanted us to be friends.

Well, honestly, I expected more than that. I was actually
thinking all this time that he likes me too, but
unfortunately, he doesn’t. He just wants us to be friends.

It totally broke my heart, and right then there, I decided
to stay away from him. To stay away from my heart breaker.

I smiled as I looked at him.

“You know what? it’s hard to be friends with someone like
you. It’s better for us to stay like this, to be
acquaintances.” I said and walked away from him.

And without any doubt, I know he is not following me anymore.

Before I left him, I saw how gloomy his face was after I said those words.

I was so harsh at him. I know, but I don’t want to hurt myself also.

Because I know myself better than anyone else,

I know that if I keep seeing him, I would be back to the
same old me, which I decided to bury a long time ago.

But it was very painful. I honestly want to be friends with
him too (and eventually, move to another level).

What made it painful was leaving him with that gloomy
appearance painted on his face.

He just doesn’t know how much it hurts me.

Unknowingly, tears fell from my eyes.

I could totally understand why.

Sulli saw me running away, and she followed me.

When I reached the hotel lobby, I waited for my car to
arrive, Sulli tapped my shoulders.

“what happened?” she asked.

I looked at her and faked a smile.

“nothing, I just want to go home for now.” I told her.

I can see in her face that she understood me.

She was there at my side as the car arrive, and then I went away.

The entire night was very heart breaking! I thought I was
totally over him, but there, I was still thinking of him.

I just wished the night would be over so I could drown myself with work.

**the next day**

I entered my office with confidence, as I sit in my seat, Mr. Song came.

“Ms. Hwang, this is the papers about our new project with
Everbest. You were assigned to meet the artist and be
with them as they shoot the commercial” he explained.

“I thought I was the company’s president? Why do I have to do that?” I asked him in confusion.

“well, Mr. Hwang, your father, told me to give you this
kind of work. Be a CEO and be with the staff also.” He answered.

Just by hearing my dad’s name, again, I know I have no choice.

I took a glance with that folder he gave me. And as I
looked at the artist, the endorser of the product, I felt doomed.
