[Chapter 39] I Love You
Say You're Just A FriendYears passed and I'm still the Lee Ji eun they used to know. Nothing changed even if it was a short time to spend with my friends in Korea.
I never thought that they would be so happy to see me again after years.
I was doing well in abroad with my aunt. She help me a lot with my studies and I had lots of friends there too. It was hard for me first since the
culture is different from Korea. I tried my best and learn lots of stuffs while I was finishing my studies there. My aunt was a big help for me too.
Since I don't need to pay for the house that I was staying in. Also I don't need to take the bus when I'm going to my school. It's all thanks to my
aunt who petition me.
Eventhough it was tough for me, I did tried my best.
I finished my college and decided to work there to earn more money and have a good life. Years passed and thought that there's something missing
when I was there. I was communicating well with my friends in Korea. Especially to Sooyoung and Ji yeon. But to Wooyoung, I wasn't able to contact
him after I confessed my feelings for him. Sooyoung said that he was busy, focusing to his career after graduating in high school. Even them wasn't
able to contact Wooyoung. I was wondering if he's really busy to his studies.
I was surprised to see Wooyoung after years that I'm gone. It was like a dream. I miss him so much that I want to run to him quickly when I turn
around and saw him. But to my surprise, he's with a petite girl laughing together seems like they're enjoying the drink from the party. My heart
sink when I saw him laughing and smiling with another girl. I remember what happened in our high school days. It's the same feeling. It hurts.
My reverie was interrupted when I heard my name was being called by Taecyeon in the stage. "Lee Ji eun!" and everyone was looking at me. I
just remember that the spot light was in me. I look to Wooyoung's direction and he saw me. He saw me! HE SAW ME!
"Ji eun, go to the stage." I blink my eyes to Sooyoung. I cleared my throat and starts to walk the stage. I glance to Wooyoung and he's still looking at
me with his soft eyes. I turn away my glance and continue to go to the stage. I don't know why Taecyeon suddenly call me. Then, I saw Wooyoung is
behind me. I frown and ask my self, Why is he following me?
"Ji eun just came back from United States. She's working with various holloywood actress there as their fashion designer. Welcome back Miss Lee!"
and everyone clap their hands together. I smile to everyone as I reach the center of the stage. There, I saw Yoona and we hug each other. Also
Taecyeon did the same thing. When we were done hugging each other, Wooyoung hug the both of them. I stood behind them and to my surprise,
Wooyoung turn around and smile at me. My body shivers. He mouthed 'Hi' to me. All I can do is raise my right hand and wave to him slowly.
When we both went down the stage, it was awkward for both of us and none of us speak to break the silence. I'm about to run from him, or pace out of
him when he calls my name.
"Ji eun." he call softly. I cleared my throat and turn around to face him.
"Hi... Wooyoung." I said as my voice become lower. We stood like that for a second without talking. I look at my fingers, unable to look at him and meet
his eyes.
Why am I so nervous? Is it because of the promise that he made before I went to America? Am I still hoping that he will come back to me? Is it
possible for him to come back and ask me if I'm ready? Well, I'm ready to accept him, but seems like that is impossible when I saw him with this girl
earlier. He looks happy and no doubt, those smile that I saw, I never saw them back then. Or is it?
"It is nice to see you again." he break the silence and I look at him. Still the same. The same facial features. Those lips, those eyes, those eyebrow, I
still see him just like the old days.
"Me too. It's nice to see you again." I said.
"So, how are you?" I blink an eye to him. I look down, thinking what to say. Well, it was nice in America. Lots are change. Culture shock. Struggling in school. And. Missing You.
"Ji eun." I shook my head as I heard my name was being call by Wooyoung.
"Oh! I'm sorry. I was thinking of something else." I said and he nod.
"Eveyone seems miss you." he said and our eyes meet. I want to ask him if he miss me too and so, I open my lips, but words are not coming out. I
close it again and look at my finger nails again.
"It seems so." I mumble. Then, I heard foot steps coming from Wooyoung's back. I raise my head and saw the girl he was talking earlier in the party.
She looks gorgeous. She is wearing a red semi-sheer draped dress and a faux suede pump heels.
Then, she call Wooyoung and he turn around. "Se Young." he said and wrap his arms around her waist. I clear my throat and try to control my emotion
over this scene. The girl, which her name is Se Young, give a slight smile at me. I did the same thing and look away when she starts to talk to
Wooyoung.
"Are you not going home?" asked the girl, Se Young.
"Nope. I still have business to do here." Business? What is it? My inner-thoughts think suddenly. Just go hoe Wooyoung. Now I'm not in the mood to see
and talk to him. How I wish that I did not attend this party.
"Okay. Text me when you got home. I'll tell to your mom that you will be late, okay?" Wooyoung nod. It was awkward for me to stay here because
these two people infront of me are talking to each other. I feel outcasted. I sigh.
"By the way, this is Ji eun, my..." I look at him when he stop from his track. I am your what Wooyoung? I thought.
"Nice meeting you. By the way I'm Park Se Young." she held her hand and so I take it and we shake our hands.
She said her goodbye to us and before she leave, she lean closer to Wooyoung and kiss his cheeks. He did the same thing! I gasp in disbelief. Are they
dating? Maybe. Probably. I saw them laughing together in the corner of this room and they look so happy.
I look away as I don't want to see and or hear them talking. I'm about to leave them when Wooyoung grab my wrist. I know I'm rude to do that kind of
thing but it breaks my heart to see it.
"Where are you going?" he ask.
"I'm going to Sooyoung." I said but he won't let go of my wrist. What's wrong with this guy? Then, I saw that Se Young was not there anymore. Now,
we are alone.
"Are you not going to let go of my wrist? It hurts." he slowly release my wrist. "Do you have anything to say?" I snap. I want to get away from him.
"I'm the one who supposed to say that. Don't you have something to tell me?" I thought for a moment...
"I don't." I mumble. I look at him and he looks confused. I don't know why but I excuse myself and went outside for a while.
As I stare at the sky, seeing thousands of stars in this night. The air is brushing my skin and it feels cold than I thought. I brush my arms as I feel a little
cold. When I remember Wooyoung's words, Don't you have something to tell me? What does he mean? Is he still expecting something from me? Is
he? I have nothing to say to him. He is the one who have something to tell me. He promised that he can wait for me. But from what I saw earlier, he
seems has something to that girl, Se Young. Are they dating? For real? I sigh. Why should I think about him anyway. Wooyoung is my past and that is
it. I should have forget about him after years passed without contacting each other. I was excited to go to this party because... I guess I'm still
expecting something to him. I told him that he should prove me that he can wait longer for me to come back. I'm about to go inside when someone tap y
shoulder.
"Omo!"
"I'm sorry for surprising you." I turn around and saw that it was Wooyoung. What is he doing here?
"What do you want?" I said in annoyance. He furrow his brow and tilt his head. Is he mad? I don't care. "What?" I snap.
"Don't you miss me?" I look away and furrow my brow. Why asking a stupid question. Of course I miss you! I thought.
"Because I miss you." I shiver from his words. He does miss me. I slowly turn myself to see and meet his eyes. His eyes are sparkling. I love to see
those lovely eyes.
"I miss you Ji eun. So much." without knowing, he pull me into his arms and my face is in his chest. I can smell his scent. He hug me! I wrap me ars around him.
"I miss you too, pabo." I said softly and heard him chuckle. Then, he pull back and stare at me. I look at him sadly. I thought that he doesn't miss me
but he does miss me. I'm so happy.
"You should have told me earlier that you miss me."
"How? Your girlfriend is there." he release me and start to laugh. He then, poke my forehead. I scowl.
"What was that for?!"
"Paboya. Se Young is not my girlfriend. She's my cousin, pabo." I stare at him and slowly, a smile tugged in the corner of my lips. That girl is his cousin!
His cousin! How stupid am I?
"So, don't be jealous about her." I look at him and see his smile.
"Jealous? Why would I be?"
"Why not? You like me don't you remember?" I giggle and release his hand on my hand. I turn around and about to leave him when he grab my hand
again just like what he did earlier.
"Are you teasing me Ji eun?" he asked and I nod.
"Actually, I don't like you anymore Wooyoung." I said sadly. I saw him lean forward and grab my chin so we are not eye level.
"Are you sure?" he ask softly.
"No. Because I love you!" I then, lean forward and kiss him. He kiss me back and he break the kiss and whisper the words that I really want to hear
from him since then.
"I love you too."
