Yul's POV

 

 

 

After I finished dressing up for school. I decided to wake the sleeping beauty because I know her alarm

clock won't wake her up. I easily climb to their gate and climb on the tree near her room.

 

 

 

This is one of my favorite part of the day, I was just sitting on the tree, looking at her and imagining what

could it be if this beautiful girl fall in love with me. When I see her in the morning, sleeping peacefully on

her bed, murmuring words I don't understand, maybe she's dreaming, her hair is so messed up, and her

way of sleeping is so, freaky. She's still the most beautiful girl in the world and I know I fell in love with

her even more.

 

 

 

I sat on the branch for a long time, not wanting to make a noise that will cause her to wake up, though I

came here to wake her. I don't care if we're late anymore. I just wanted to picture out in my mind this

good sight in front of me and to hold on to the fact that the only thing that kept me going was because

I'm doing the 'right thing'.  

 

 

"God, if she's not the one for me. Can you just take me now?"

 

 

 

 

 

 

Normal POV

 

 

 

"Hey.. Do you think there's a place where I can forget all my problems.... you know, sad memories''

 

 

 

''Maybe''

 

 

 

''You know what?''

 

 

 

"What?"

 

 

 

"I want to find a place that can take away all the pain in our hearts... where the sun will shine equally on

even our sorrows"

 

 

 

"I'll find it"

 

 

 

"Why?"

 

 

 

"Because I want to take away the pain inside you"

 

 

 

"No"

 

 

 

"Why?"

 

 

 

"We'll find it together"

 

 

 

"Roger!"

 

 

 

Jessica woke up from her dream. All this time, she can't figure out who's she with in that dream. She

didn't even know if that dream were true. All she remember was, she was with a boy lying next to her

and there was really a good view in front of them. Both of them were watching the blue sky above them

as they dream to find that certain place.

 

 

 

"Taeng, it's you, right? We made a promise to find a place that will take away our pain. It's you, right?

You're that kid, right?" Jessica keep talking to herself until she noticed that someone is staring at her

outside her window. She immediately open it only to see Yul, smiling widely at her.

 

 

 

"Good morning, Jung" He greeted.

 

 

 

"Good morning, monkey. You can just wait me outside"

 

 

 

"Roger!" She smiled at him before closing the window. She head to her bathroom and do her things there.

Jessica's POV

 

 

 

After I'm done, I immediately took my breakfast before going outside. There I saw the monkey leaning

his back on our gate.

 

 

 

"Yuri-ah!" I shouted, he looked at me and smiled. For some reason, I felt happy that maybe everything

between us would be normal again like what it used to be. I walk on his way with a huge smile on my

face and stop immediately when he says:

 

 

 

"Carry my bag" He threw his bag on me. I pouted and guess what, my aegyo was no use. He walked

ahead of me, leaving me with his elephantine bag. I groaned and rolled my eyes while shaking my head

in disbelief. 'This man is really impossible'

 

 

 

"Aren't you gonna use your bike?!" I yelled while I find myself struggling to carry his BAG.

 

 

 

"Nope" He simply reply. I decided to keep quiet and walk behind him. Thinking about my dream. Its

been, uhm... erm... I don't know when it starts, that dream keeps on haunting me.

 

 

 

''You've spent a lot with your friend. How is he?'' He asked casually.

 

 

 

''He's good'' I smiled, he nodded. Its been days since Taeng arrived here. It was true that I spend a lot

of my time with Taeng. Every dismissal he would fetch me to school, of course he was hidden, wearing a

hoodie and sunglasses. Having a little chitchat with me while eating at his chosen restaurant. It's good

that Yul is allowing me. I never thought he would.

 

 

 

''Thank you'' I spoke after a long moment of silence. He stopped from walking and faced me.

 

 

 

''For?'' He looked at me strangely.

 

 

 

''Allowing me.. I thought you would--''

 

 

 

''I can't hold you forever'' He smiled, though he is, I can sense some bitterness behind those charming

smile he's showing me. And though I want to jump and scream for the good news, "I can't hold you

forever" I just can't. I can't. Not until... he's happy like I am. But, am I really happy? 

 

 

 

I shrugged the feelings and questions inside me and say: ''Yeah right.. So what's the meaning of this?'' I

wear a poker face while showing his heavy bag that I'm holding. He shrugged and walk my way. He get

the chips on his bag and opened it. We decided to walk than taking a train because it's not yet late since

this monkey appeared on my window so early.

 

 

 

''Want some?'' He asked while offering his chips on me. I look at him and hesitates.

 

 

 

''Don't worry, I didn't put poison on it'' He ate some for proof and say: ''See?'' and gave me a genuine

smile, so I sneakily put my hand inside the wrapper to some and guess what, there's no more

inside. I made a poker face and look at him, he's preventing his self from laughing.

 

 

 

''Hahaha, Not my fault!'' He said in between laughs.

 

 

 

I glare at him before yelling.. ''YAH! KWON! YOU TRICKED ME, YOU BLACK MONKEY!''

 

 

 

''I didn't. You were just slow on grabbing some. I didn't even notice that I already finished it off'' He

chuckled, I just make face on him before walking.

 

 

 

''Jessica'' He called softly. I stopped, shocked. 'Did he just called me by my name? I mean... first name' I

slowly turned around to face him. I gulped nervously for he is walking in my way, wearing the smile that

never fail to make some odd feeling inside me.

 

 

 

''You know it's bad for your health eating junk foods in the morning. So here'' He hand me something that

was wrapped in tissue. I opened it and saw a sandwich. I stare at it for a long time, wondering.

 

 

 

''No more pranks, Jung. My mother made it. It's safe'' He reassured. I nodded and took a bite. Aunt Nami

is really the best, her sandwich is really delicious, I'll thank her later. I was busy eating my sandwich that

I didn't notice that the monkey is staring at me. 'Gosh! He's probably thinking that I'm a destitute person'

 

 

 

''I'm sorry. Do I look horrible? I just took bread for breakfast'' I said and looked away, concious and

ashamed of myself.

 

 

 

''Beautiful...'' I looked at him surprised. Now, I regret looking back without preparing myself. He look

damn good with those serious face. ''That word defines you well'' He added, making me hang my mouth,

slightly open.

 

 

 

''T-Thank y-you''

 

 

 

''But at the same time you really look horrible'' He smirked. I rolled my eyes and continue eating. Though

I'm pissed a little, I smile for some realization that what I once considered smirk on his face that annoys

me is now the only thing that I wanted to see.

 

 

 

''What are you smiling for? me again inside your mind?'' He chuckled. I just shook my head in

disbelief. I look at my cheap wristwatch, says it's already seven fifteen. Gosh! fifteen more minutes left. 

 

 

 

I grabbed his wrist and say: ''Let's g--'' I was cut off by a loud honk beside me. I look at the road only to

see Taeng's car. I can't be mistaken, a shiny black 350Z sportscar, no doubt, it's Taeng's.

 

 

 

The window rolled down.. ''Good morning, Princess Sica and to you also Yul'' He greeted with his 

charming smile. I blink for several times before letting go of Yul's hand and smile awkwardly at Taeng.

'Gosh! Did he saw that we're holding each other's hand?'

 

 

 

''Good morning, Taengoo. W-why are you here?'' I greeted trying to be casual.

 

 

 

''To drive you to school, I went to your house, Aunt Robin said you're already gone, luckily I found you

here so get in'' He smile. I look at Yul with concern.

 

 

 

''Go'' He smile.

 

 

 

''Aigoo! I'm sorry bro, I wanted to offer you a ride, but my car is for two person only'' Taeng look at Yul

apologetically. Yul only smile and waved in the air as a sign of  'its okay'. He then look at me and

motioned to get in the car. I stare at him for a long time, thinking if I'll just get in the car or walk with

him. He then walk to the car and open the door.

 

 

 

''Go, all of us know that you hate walking'' He smile before grabbing my hand and lead me in the car.

He get his bag on my hand and closed the door then mouthed:  ''Be safe''

 

 

 

The car started to move, my eyes can't get off Yul, so I open the window and peeked my head outside. I

smile and wave at him. He wave back, we wave at each other until he's nowhere of my sight anymore. I

sat and lower my head. Thinking that leaving him alone isn't right. It's true that I hate walking, it's tiring,

but I also hate it when this odd feeling attacks me again. The odd feeling when he's not by my side, just

.

 

 

 

''You like him, don't you?'' Taeng asked startling me.

 

 

 

''No'' I answered casually. 'I'm still figuring the answer for that'

 

 

 

''Yes'' He protest.

 

 

 

''Trust me, no''

 

 

 

''So... I still have a chance?'' He stopped the car in front of the gate of our school and look at me.

 

 

 

Though I already had the hint of what he meant for that. I still asked:''W-what do you mean?'' I can

feel my palm is sweating and nervousness can't hide anymore. This isn't the right time to ask about this

kind of question. Yes, I like Taeng from the very first start, I like him a lot but I'm still confuse about my

feelings for Yul.

 

 

 

''I know this is so sudden, Sica. But I really like you, can you be my girl?'' He cleared.

 

 

 

This words from him rang through my mind. It's like something is telling me to say yes. But there's

something that's telling me:

 

 

 

''Wait! What about Yul? Don't tell me you're gonna ignore your feelings for him?''

 

 

 

''Come on, Jessica. You've waited for Taeng, you've waited for this''

 

 

 

It's like there's a demon and angel who's fighting inside my mind, and both of them seems right.

 

 

************

 

 

First subject had passed, and Yul didn't attend the first class. I was worried sick in my seat during the

class is going. Where the hell did he go? Even though I'm letting him copy my answer that doesn't mean

he can absent all the time. Besides, he never did an absent since the class started.

 

 

 

'Oh wait... he's wearing his uniform a while ago. That damn ! He ditch class wearing our school

uniform. That would cause an unsatisfactory image for our school, and I, as a President of Student

Council should discipline him!'

 

 

 

All of our class finished and he didn't show up. That jerk! Where did he go all of a sudden? I was walking

alone to the entrance, I saw the monkey leaning his back to the gate entrance.

 

 

 

"YAH! Kwon!" I shouted, thank goodness no one is around. No one noticed my sudden outburst. He looked

at me with his usual poker face.

 

 

 

"Don't give me that damn look! Why did you not attend the class huh?!"

 

 

 

"I don't feel like" He said not minding my berserk.

 

 

 

"You idiot! I'm letting you copy but that doesn't mean you can ditch class wearing your school uniform!!"

 

 

 

"I'm sorry. It won't happen again. Can we go home now?" He asked now with his charming smile. I

blinked for several times because of my heart that suddenly soften by those smile.

 

 

 

"Y-yes.. let's go" But before we can walk we heard a loud honk coming from a familiar car. We looked at

the road and saw Taeng's car. He went outside with a smile on his face. A small smile form on my lips

when he waved at me.

 

 

 

"Hi babe~!"

 

 

 

Yul's POV

 

 

 

I think I became deaf for a while. My ears couldn't believe what they heard. "Hi babe" He says. My heart

tightens everytime I repeat to ask in my mind what had just happened.

 

 

 

"Oh, hey there Yul" Taeng walked near us. I forced a genuine smile and made a hand fist at him. I can't

deny that he is a good man and yes, if there's someone who would fit Jessica perfectly, it's him.

 

 

 

He walks near Jessica and kissed her cheek. "Hey babe~" Though my heart is crying I know she's in

good hands, so I smile, not a force one. She looked at me with her worried eyes and all the pain comes

back again and from the way she looked at me. I wonder if she knows I feel like dying inside.

 

 

 

"H-hey... Yul. I have something very important to say" she said with a smile plastered on her face. 'I

know, I know, it's written all over your face'

 

 

 

"Taeng and I...." I maintain my posture while fighting my shaking knees as well as my heart saying: "Do

you really want to kill me? Get out of here now!"

 

 

 

"Taeng and you? What?" I smile but I know deep inside it's all the opposite. It's hard for a person to smile

while his heart is crying but here I am smiling, why, because I can't let my guard down, now that she

found the place she were looking for.

 

 

 

I was watching her sleeping. Then she speaks suddenly.

 

 

 

"I want to find a place that can take away all the pain in our hearts... where the sun will shine equally on

even our sorrows..... No..... We'll find it together" I heard her say. I quietly walk near her while watching

her. 'You still remember our promise huh?' I smile at the thought. Then she stirred so I run and jumped to

the branch near her room which I use to enter her room.

 

 

 

 

"Taeng, it's you, right? We made a promise to find a place that will take away our pain. It's you, right?

You're that kid, right?" I heard her say, I made a deep breath not because I got tired of running and

jumping on this branch but because I feel like hopeless of what I heard. 'Calm down. Breathe in,out. Yul

please breathe'

 

 

 

She then look at my way. That's the time my breathing becomes normal again. I forced a smile, yes, that's

my expertise, forcing a smile even if it's all the opposite.

 

 

 

She walked near the window so I greet her: "Good morning, Jung"

 

 

 

"Good morning, monkey. You can just wait me outside"

 

 

 

"Roger!" I said and jumped down on the ground.

 

 

 

"It's me... not Taeng. I'm the one who you promised with to find that place, not him"

 

 

 

I smiled bitterly as the scene this morning flashed to my mind.

 

 

 

"Taeng and I are..... officially together" She finally announced.

 

 

 

At this moment I want to just jump off the highest building because I didn't know what she said were harder than dying. But I pull myself together from doing it because now I really think I'm doing the right thing, I can finally free her, step by step. 'This is for you'

 

 

 

I gather my strength together to say: "Congratulations" I smiled at them though I think it wasn't look like

a smile and without even knowing....

 

 

 

I felt my tears slowly drifting on my cheeks.
