She called him for thousand time but he didn't answer it. One more time, she said. One more time, and I hope this time he'll pick up the phone. She walked back and forth in her office restroom. Her hands were still trembling from her encounter with Ah In before. She prayed and prayed for a miracle.

 

  "He.. hello.. Ji..? Ji, are you there?"   "Ngg.."   "Where are you?"   He wasn't answering.   "Do you have a time tonight?"   "I don't know.." he answered lazily.   "I'll wait in the playground in front of your apartment. Please, meet me there.."   "I need to finish this job, let's see if I could finish it earlier.."   "It's okay.. I'll wait.."     She put on a leather jacket over her sweater. The weather was pretty cold for early autumn. Walked down the pedestrian with a heart full of hope she put a smile on her face, couldn't wait to meet the man she loves. It took some times to get into his apartment by feet and now she waited in the playground sitting on the swings.   Bom: I'm here. Come home soon~~*^__^*     Jiyong was home after finishing his job on the studio. He took a quick shower and rest on the couch, massaging his dizzy head because of the stress from the work. He poured a wine and walked out to the balcony, it rained when he opened the door. He lean on the glass door, enjoyed the rain breeze and the wine. It's an unusual thing, rain in the autumn.   "Impossible.." he hummed.   "She's not that stupid, right?"   He checked his phone and read her message. It was sent at 7:39 pm, it's almost ten now. He scanned the playground beneath the building with a bare eyes, of course he couldn't see anything. He pressed the dial, called her but it connected to the voice mail.   "Please, please tell me you're not down there.."   Ho wore his rain jacket and brought an umbrella. He looked through every corner and wish for a zero result. Until he saw a shadow below the slides. He came closer and he strated to recognize the owner of the shadow. He walked faster and it was right, it was her standing below the slides to covering herself from the rain. Eventhough that wasn't enough and hald of her body was wet.   "Are you stupid?!" he shouted.   Instead of frowning she smiled, "finally you're here.."   He took off his rain jacker and put in her, opened the umbrella pulled her closer and quickly brought her inside. She was standing in front of the door, soaked and trembling. He wrapped her with a big, thick white towel.   "How long have you been waiting? You should just go home when I'm not here. You're really stupid. How can you waited in the rain. Doesn't your body still unhealthy? What am I gonna say to your mother?" he nagged while drying her, "Take a bath, I already prepare the clothes," he pushed her into the bathroom.     She's out with his t-shirt and track pants, hot camomile tea already made for her. She carefully sat on the couch.   "Drink it.." he said.   The warm tea turned cold with his icy tone. Words she prepared auddenly vanished from her head and nervousness came. Her heart wanted to shout, wanted to say manu words but her tounge turned numb. He also didn't know how to start the conversation. His mind was like a heavy traffic jam right now, stuck and couldn't move.   "What brings you here?" he finally asked.   "I have a lot things to say to you but I don't know where to start," she turned her body to face him. Him who folded his arms and looking at the floor.   "I.. I've finally met, umm.. talked.. I've.. my birth mother.. she knows about me.. now.. We.."   Jiyong turned his head to her, "you were?"   She told him how the things happened between her and her mother. She told him everything about the secret of her birth. About how these things turned her down and she felt like she was unwanted and abandoned. She felt like she wasn't good enough to be with him. And how everything made her looking for something, looking for someone who didn't know anything about her and she could pretend that she was happy eventhough her heart was in a deep pain. And without she realized she was with Ah In, she admittes she found an artificial happiness with him but she knew she lied to herself.   "I feel so worthless, Ji. Even right now, here with you, it feels so.. wrong.."   He was completely turned his body towards her now, hold her shaking hand. Her eyes were so puffy because she cried so much.   "Don't say that again. Didn't I told you before, you are you, and nothing to do with your parent.." he helped her erased the tears on hee cheek, "I'm actually really sad because you didn't trust me. I wish you could trust me, Bom, and I can help you get through everything. I wanna be there for you, I wanna be your knight in the shining armour. But I guess I'm not good enough. How can I help you when you didn't even trust me.."   She was sobbing again, "I'm sorry.. I'm really sorry.."   "I was afraid. These days I think a lot about us.. I love you, Bom.. And I'm afra
