3 hours

Before Your Eyes

~Hana~

-----------------------------------------

I think I looked at the watch for the 34th time today but only a minute passed for every single time that I kept looking at it. I groaned angrily and rolled around on the bed and stared at the ceiling.

Yunho paid a short visit only and promised to come back for lunch and it was almost lunchtime so I guess I would do something while waiting for sunset. I hugged my pillow and rolled over to the side and just like a girl, I giggled at the thought of us meeting at sunset. How romantic doesn't that sound?

The image of JaeJoong appeared inside my head and I couldn't help but to feel warm and all girly while thinking about him. The most memorable memory that was so strong to me was apparently when he wrapped the jacket around me.

A knock was suddenly heard, interrupting my thoughts and I sat up to see a cautious but playful Yunho stick his head inside and smiled when he saw me

"What are you up to?" he asked

"Nothing much" I said

"Can I come in?"

I nodded

He entered and looked around for a few seconds before sitting down by my desk.

"You seem to be bored"

"I am bored" I rolled my eyes

Yunho chuckled and looked around while whistling but the whistling stopped suddenly as he stood up and walked over to my bed

"Isn't that... a guy jacket?" He asked

He lifted it up and viewed it and looked at me. He then looked around in the room and his eyes stopped by the bathroom

I couldn't help but to burst out into laughter

"There is no one in there. You may go look if you'd like" I laughed

Yunho scratched the back of his head, embarrassed

"But why is it here?" He asked

I smiled and took it back, putting it right beside me

"I borrowed it"

"You.. borrowed... it?" He asked and raised an eyebrow

"Yes.. since I was cold.." I smiled

"Who is he?"

"A friend"

"A special friend... a friend-friend or a.... BOY friend?" Yunho viewed me

He was apparently serious. I smiled at him kindly

"Just a friend-friend"

Yunho then broke out into a smile and nodded

"I was thinking of going downtown today. How about you tag along?" He asked

"Now?"

"After lunch. And we'll be back for dinner" He said

I looked at the clock again and thought about it. I had no plans for the day so I might as well go with him. Spending a day with Yunho isn't that bad and Sunset were a few hours away. I had to kill time

"Sure" I smiled

---

After lunch and after riding in Yunho's car for an hour we finally got downtown and it was exactly just like I had remembered it. The narrow roads and the small but yet unique shops and the friendly owners. I smiled happily

"Let's just stroll around to see if there's anything interesting okay?" Yunho smiled

I nodded happily

We walked down the road and passed several shops that I recognized from my younger days. I especially stopped by the shop where there was this ahjumma selling various girl stuff, such as jewelry, make-up, teddybears, perfumes and other girly things.

I looked through the window and my eyes was apparently glowing since Yunho was laughing

"Would you like to go inside?"

I shook my head, seeing my reflection and Yunho's as well in the glass.

"Just a memory appeared" I said and smiled at him.

He nodded

"Let's go down to the ice cream bar"

We strolled our way down there while laughing and talking, pointing at several things and joking around as we played around. When we finally arrived at the ice cream bar Yunho was quick with ordering

"There you go"

After paying he handed over my ice cream and I was surprised to see it was my flavor

"It hasn't changed.. hasn't it?" He asked, suddenly attentive

"How did you..."

"I remember" He shrugged happily

I smiled at him as we took our ice creams and got out of the bar and walked around in the beautiful playground where several families were out and letting their kids enjoy the weather.

"How has life been so far?" I asked

Yunho shrugged

"Nothing special actually. Studying, coping with life. I tried to not forget how to live it while studying" He said

"Really? But did you like it in UK?"

"I loved it but I missed home terribly. The food, the streets, the signs.. and family. And also my friends. I did feel a bit empty not having people that knew me better than myself and which I could be comfortable around" He said

"You must have felt lonely"

We sat down on a bench while looking around, eating our ice creams and having the warm sun down on us

"I did but loneliness is part of life. We just have to make the best out of it"

I nodded

"How's your own life?"

I shrugged

"I'm at an dead end at the moment. I don't really know what I want with my life" I sighed

"Enjoy it for now and don't rush it. I'm sure you will find your path soon"

"So where is your path taking you now?"

"Seoul. I'm going to find a job as an attorney. But until then, I'm going to enjoy my vacation here" He said

I looked at the clock to see there were 3 more hours to go before I had to go home to meet up with JaeJoong.

"I see"

The silence took over and I felt an uncomfortable stare on me while I was finishing my ice cream

"Are you in a hurry? You keep looking at the watch all the time" He asked

"I'm not.." I said and looked at him

"Would you like to go home?" He asked, suddenly sounding a bit disappointed for some reason

"No! Let's stay and have fun. I'd like to buy some candy later on" I said

I saw the disappointment disappear and I felt the guilt washing away as I looked at him. I really didn't want to hurt Yunho's feelings by saying that I had plans for the night and also that I couldn't hang out with him. After all we haven't seen each other in ages

Yunho's smile appeared and I jokingly pushed him and started to run and I heard him laughing while running after me.

There were 3 hours left... so I would be able to have time to spend some of it with Yunho. After all, sunset, he was the one who suggested the time right?
