31 May 2013, Yeon Ah's apart, Yongsan-dong, Seoul, 11.57pm.

Yeon Ah's POV :

I felt like someone took my ability to breath. I was left speechless. Dizziness was gradually taking over me..

"W-what did you say?" Words came out of my mouth difficutly. Was that a confession..?

"I said I like you!" he shook me once again. I was looking down at my sweaty hands, not knowing how to react. It was like time stopped.

"Please release me Dujun." I softly told him, not wanting to sound harsh or whatsoever.

"Sorry Yeon Ah.." He lowered his head, probably feeling guilty to have shouted at me. It's not like I mind right now, I can't even properly think.

"Will you be mine again?" he caressed my cheek as I immediately jerked backwards by reflex.

"Are you confessing right now?" I spoke with a petite voice.

"I.. Yes."

Do I like him? I have no ideas.. Four years have passed already..

*pop*

A blurred image of someone appeared in my head. I don't know who it is! This is flustering.. Why would it appear at this crucial moment anyway?

"Yeon Ah, if you can't give me an answer now, I totally understand. Take your time. Sorry for my outburst earlier and to have made you uneasy with my.. confession. I'll take my leave now, see you tomorrow." Dujun hastily muttered before exiting my apart.

I won't be able to close one eye tonight..

1st June 2013, Sindang, Seoul, 11.56pm.

Yeon Ah's POV :

My eyes. I have huge dark circles under them. I must be looking like a zombie, no doubt.

After cleaning a table, I walked towards the bar. I wasn't paying attention to my surroundings so I involuntarily bumped into someone. I quickly bowed and apologized to whoever it was without looking at the person.

I'm not in my right mind after yesterday's confession from Dujun.

It reminds me of what happened four years ago, just this time, I'm not sure of my feelings towards him.. Friend or lover..

"Be careful Yeon Ah.." a voice spoke, which woke me up from my daydream. A voice I would recognized everywhere.

"Sorry to have bumped into you Dujun." I excused myself without looking at him. I don't even call him Dujunnie now, what the .

"It's okay, rest a bit. You look exhausted." I am. He stared at me worriedly and bent down at my level to try finding my eyes.

"I'll rest during break time. I'm okay." I smiled forcefully to reassure him but he was not blind, however he only nodded.

Why am I like this? When he confessed four years ago, I remember being completely fine and okay. Why is it different now?

Maybe I'm dreaming? I pinched my arm hard, only to yell in misery because , it hurt!

I thought I was really dreaming. In this one month, everything happened so quickly. I didn't have enough time to digest the news which continuously came to me. Perhaps, the lack of sleep gives me hallucinations?

"What are you doing here Yeonnie?" Joonmyun came and asked me. Is he real? Yah michyeosseo ? What I'm just wondering!

"Are you a real person Joonmyunnie?" Ok I've gone crazy.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Yeon Ah! What's wrong with you today! Of course I'm real!" he laughed at me with his oh-so-lovable smile. I could only smile tiredly.

"Are you okay..?" he turned serious upon seeing me not arguing back, which would be my normal reaction.

"Yes I am.."

"Don't lie! Did you even sleep last night?" 

"Not really.." I shook my head.

"You look like a panda, no jokes." He instantly awake me with this phrase.

"Yah!" I slapped his left arm.

"Ah! Painful!" he was faking. Pff, should I put some more force?

"AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!" This time, it was a true sound of sorrow which escaped his mouth. Ché!

"I can't even tease you!" he whined whilst rubbing his sore spot. Oops poor baby!

"No you can't!" I then hugged him.

"Don't be mad!!" I smiled at him and pinched his nose.

"How can I stay mad at you? My cutie pie!" he hugged me back. My Joonmyunnie, thank you. Your smallest actions warm my heart.

He has become a really good friend. We would often bicker but we're also serious when we have to talk about problems. I think he has a crush on Seohee but I yet need to confirm that!

"Guys! Why are you hugging each other like this?" Minyoung spotted us and ran our way.

I released him and he gave me a friendly pat on the head.

"I was just giving her a bit of my energy since she looks tired. Look, panda girl." Joonmyun explained as I nodded.. WHAT??! PANDA GIRL?!

"DON'T RUN AWAY!!!" I chased him around the cafe, not bothered about the stares customers were giving us. I told you, I'm out of my mind.

"Yah Yoon Yeon Ah stop!" I bumped into Junhyung's hard chest as the latter told me to stop.

"There's still customers! Play at break time arasseo?" he scolded me like a father. I hummed in response.

Same day, 6.21pm

This day seems to be particularly long. Joonmyun got me distracted earlier but thoughts of Dujun invaded my mind afterward again. Aish.

Everytime he was trying to approach or talking to me, I would ignore him.

Flashback

2.02pm

I just served the table n'6. Feeling dehydrated, I went into the private room where my bag was. I took out my bottle of water and began drinking its entire content.

"Do you want more?" OMFG I almost choked because I heard a voice which scared the crap out of me.

It was Dujun. I strode past him without answering him. Aye bad girl..

4.16pm.

I was wiping absent-mindedly a table. But I didn't notice a glass was still on the table. I pushed it while wiping and it fell on the hard cold floor, shattering into billion pieces. I cringed at the sound and mentally cursed myself for being so clumsy.

I started collecting the biggest pieces of the transparent crystal when I saw another pair of hands doing the same.

"Are you okay?" Dujun's voice sounded full of worries. Oh I hate it so much. Why am I always worrying everyone?

I wanted to reply him, at least with a small 'yes' but something clogged my throat, preventing me from saying this simple word.

I ended up dodging him again.

End of Flashback

I can tell everyone is worried about me since they would keep on coming and asking me if I'm okay..

I'm not doing well today, I forgot to smile to the customers many times..

I'm stupid aish! I can't let my feelings get over me! Concentrate on the work!

Lee Dujun, what have you done..
