Yul's POV

 

 

 

"Hyung, you should stop drinking" Yoong spoke beside me, playing my PSP.

 

 

 

"Don't mind me Yoongie. Just play there"

 

 

 

"Hyung, you know too much is bad" He protest. I just rolled my eyes. "Stop drinking already!" He

command.

 

 

 

"Geez... fine" I put down my glass. I sighed and said "It's not like I'm drinking alcohol, Yoongie"

 

 

 

"Even if it's just an orange juice, it's still bad drinking too much otherwise you want your tummy to grow

like a balloon" We both chuckled at what he said. After a long pause. He asked:

 

 

 

''Seriously, Hyung. Are you okay?'' and everything in my mind becomes normal again. My sense brought

me back to reality that Jessica is with Taeng now. While me, being with loneliness when I'm alone and

pained to the fact that both of us won't be the same anymore. I try to flash a smile at Yoong but only to

earn a bitter look in return.

 

 

 

''You don't need to answer. I can know it through your face. I'm sorry for asking'' He said and patted my

shoulder.

 

 

 

''I need to go to school now'' I said sternly.

 

 

 

''I'll come with you'' He suggest. I put my hand on his shoulder and shook my head slowly. He nodded

and smile at me. ''Have a good walk, Hyung''

 

 

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

 

 

I walk passed through Jessica's house, and stopped. I glanced back over my shoulder up to the window

of her room. A pain crossed my heart, I can't climb up to there anymore. I can't wake her up anymore

not because I'm not allowed to, but I know I'll be hurt if I keep doing it. So I walk forward without

glancing back. But...

 

 

 

"Yuri-ah~!" one call was all it took for me to stop and turn to face her.

 

 

 

"Oh, hey. Good morning Jung" I say. She smile and bow at me.

 

 

 

"Let's walk together to school?" she say. 

 

 

 

"Sure" I knew I should have not agreed to her. This past few days I'm avoiding her. Keeping myself busy

with anything I see. Not the I don't want to talk to her but I know it is the right thing for myself. I feel bad

for her. It was not her fault that I'm avoiding her til' now. It was not her fault that I fall for her to do such

things. I remember she's asking me to go with her to pick some dress at the mall but I refuse to come. 

 

 

 

''Hey'' She calls softly. I look over my shoulder to face her and raised my eyebrows. ''Nothing'' she say.

But it's not nothing. She wants to tell me more aside from nothing.

 

 

 

''Really? What is it?''

 

 

 

''Uhm.. Taeng..'' I knew it. It's all about her infamous boyfriend.

 

 

 

''Yeah. Did he found out already?'' I ask.

 

 

 

''Found out what?'' She look at me innocently.

 

 

 

''That you went from a hospital with crazy patient in it?'' 

 

 

 

''Huh? I'm not a nurse yet and I never dream to work there''

 

 

 

''No. You're the patient. Slow'' She knocked me really hard in my head and I swear I want to punch her.

But I didn't.

 

 

 

''Relax Jung. I'm just brightening your mood. What really happen?'' I ask again though I don't want to

hear this kind of problem from her.

 

 

 

"He's been busy these past few days and I--"

 

 

 

"You miss him" This is stupid asking for it. I know this is another burden to take.

 

 

 

"Uh-huh. Well, that's part of his job. I guess, that's something I can't do anything about" She said bitterly.

I patted her back and walk. When I feel that she's still on the same spot I look over my shoulder and

motion her to walk with me and she did. When we reached the gate I stop and say: "You go first"

 

 

 

"What are you going to do?" She ask.

 

 

 

"I'm calling Taeng to fetch you later since you're the Student President of this school and phones are not

allowed inside, so go!" I saw her face brigthens and I know I did the right thing, for her.

 

 

 

"Are you trying to help me out?" She ask still with the same face but in a high pitch tone and I know when

she's in that mood, she's happy. Knowing this stubborn girl. She's not the first one to call, even if it's her

lover. She looks at herself so high to the point that if a person wants to talk to her, they should be the

one to approach her first.

 

 

 

"We've been friends since we were kids. Of course I am" I say lazily.

 

 

 

"Thank you! You too, Yuri-ah. If you find someone, tell me! I'll help you too!" She said and I nodded. She

then walk in.

 

 

 

"That's not gonna happen" I whisper and dial Taeng's number. His phone rings twice before he answers it.

 

 

 

"Hello, Yul?" His voice is a little bit tired, maybe he just finished his pictorial.

 

 

 

"Yes Mr. Kim Taeng, I was just wondering if you still remember the name Jessica Jung?" I ask in sarcastic

tone. I heard him chuckled on the other line.

 

 

 

"Oh God. I'm so sorry bro. I swear I miss her. I'll find a way to sneak later to manager hyung"  You

better be or I'll kick your  twice, but I can't blame him though, he's making an effort, he really does

but that's not enough as long as Jessica felt lonely, that will never be enough for me.

 

 

 

"Yeah, good luck" I said and hang up. I turn off my phone and slid it in my pocket. I pause at the thought

of how strong I become right now and smile for I don't know the asnwer.

 

 

 

"I'd never thought that I'd want to get stronger for someone else" I was about to take a step inside the

school when someone spoke from behind.

 

 

 

"I didn't know you're a Boys Generation fan, baby?" A calm but husky voice and the way she call me. I

cannot be mistaken.

 

 

 

I smile before I turn to face her. "Actually, I'm a Girls Generation fan" Her eyes then form a crescent

moon shape at what I said before hugging me.

 

 

 

"I miss you, baby"

 

 

 

"Stop calling me baby" I said and I can feel she's smiling on my shoulder. "I miss you too, Fany-ah. When

did you arrive?"

 

 

 

"I'll tell you if you skip class for me" She said in a tone that no one can refuse. I gulped nervously. "Just

today, please Yuwree-ah?" I sighed in defeat. I texted Jessica before walking with Tiffany at the mall.

 

 

 

Stephanie Hwang or shortly Tiffany. I met her in US when my father's work transferred there. She's an

idol now, a member of a famous group Girls Generation. A female version of Boys Generation. But 

instead of singing like a band they do both singing and dancing. In fact, her group is famous than

Boys Generation in the whole world.

Jessica's POV

 

 

I'm in the classroom now waiting for Yul and his good news and then my phone vibrates in my pocket. I

walk to the washroom and get inside a cubicle and checked my phone.

 

 

 

From: Black Monkey

 

     Jung, he said he'll try to sneak later. I'm skipping class today. I got a date. See you later.

 

 

 

"Ugh. How many times do I need to tell you. No skipping class when you're wearing a school uniform" I

speak to no one. But I realized it was him who helped me contact my good-for-so-many-promises

boyfriend. But I understand Taeng, he's really busy since his schedule here in Korea has been extended.

Their last modeling from a certain company of clothes and cologne was a complete success since almost

all the boys in Korea have that cologne now except for Yul, I guess.

 

 

 

A second later before I realize, I got a date, what the hell? With whom? I pressed my lips together before

replying him. I want to know who she is but I'll just ask him later.

 

 

 

To: Black Monkey

 

     Thank you and good luck on your date.

 

 

 

I wonder where are they going? He's in uniform attire and I assume he don't intend to skip class until now

or he do? I just saw him a while ago that's why he's forced to walk with me until entrance? And when I

thought I received a message from Yul,  but I didn't, it was from Taeng.

 

 

 

From: Taeng

 

    Hey babe. Let's meet later at the park. I'll wait for you there.

 

 

 

I get excited at what he said. After a week of not seeing each other, gosh, finally.

 

 

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

 

 

Classes are finished and I'm now packing my things up. I made a very slight bow to every student I'm

passed by. I forgot I'm the famous Jessica Jung who made it all the way to be top and now I am. I have

Taeng and a title of being a genius. But why I'm still lacking up of something I don't know?

 

 

 

I reached the park and look for my boyfriend but he's not here yet. Maybe I'll be the one to wait since the

class finished earlier than usual. Our teacher had a meeting excluding the Student Councils so I'm able to

be dismissed early.

 

 

 

I checked my phone but nothing's in it. So I waited and waited while sitting on the swing until I think I

can't walk alone on the road anymore because it's really dark now. I've decided to call Taeng even if I let

my pride down in 70%. His phone ring twice before he answer it.

 

 

 

"Hello, babe? I'm sorry I can't meet you today" and with that all my hopes disappeared. I feel like being

stab in my heart over and over again from disappointment.

 

 

 

"Really?... Uhm... It's okay... I'm home anyway" I tried to sound like I'm busy doing homeworks and I

think he believes it.

 

 

 

"Thank you for understanding me Sica. I love you so much"

 

 

 

"Yeah sure. I... I love you t-too" and he hang up. At this point I don't know who to blame, is it Taeng that

he's really busy and have no time for me, or me who's stupid to wait for three hours and didn't get

anything in return?

 

 

 

I pressed my lips together and look up at the full moon above me. I let a tear escaped from my eyes, no

one is watching me anyway. I think of those times I'm with him when we were still seven.

 

 

 

"I guess good thing happens if you're a kid" I said to the moon as if it will reply to me. "Is there anything

I can do to have everything that can make me happy all the time?"

 

 

 

"Jung" A voice infront of me make me look down at him. When our eyes met, I can't help but to burst out

crying. He run at my side but didn't speak at all.

 

 

 

"Why are you h-here?" I ask in judging tone while glaring at him.

 

 

 

"Taeng messaged me that he's not able to come today" He said and handed me a handkerchief.

 

 

 

I scoffed. "Are you here to laugh at me. Well, this is the best timing" and I regret saying it when I see him

smile at me as if he was hurt. "I'm sorry" I say and took his handkerchief. He smile again and sat in the

other swing.

 

 

 

"Let's play, Jung?" I look at him as if he's a escapee from a mental hospital. Playing in the middle of the

night?

 

 

 

"Hold tight to the chains, I'll push you" Before I can speak he already push me gently that caused the

swing to move slightly. He pushed the swing until I can feel the breeze of the air to my cheeks. It really

feels so right, right now. The gentle wind beneath my cheeks really made me calm. I realized that I am

smiling now.

 

 

 

"Thank you" I say.

 

 

 

"No problem" He then jump on my swing. Me sitting while he's standing behind me. We can both feel the

air as it touches our skin.

 

 

 

"Really, Yul. Why are you here? You can just text me that Taeng can't come. Why did you still come

personally?" I ask.

 

 

 

"If I text you, how can you go home alone?" He said, though I can't see it I know that he's smiling and so

do I. This man behind me is the best.

 

 

 

I remember about him this morning skipping the class. "I thought you have a date?" I say and I feel as if I'd been shot by a gun at my own question.

 

 

 

"I cancelled it" He says and I was puzzeled out but I can't deny that I'm happy inside. Him, cancelling a date for me.

 

 

 

"Why is that?" I raised an eyebrow at him.

 

 

 

"I'm worried about you" He said honestly for I can't see any signs of teasing in his face. I smile at him.

 

 

 

"You don't have to. I can go home by myself"

 

 

 

"Silly. When your friend is having a hard time..." He smiles.

 

 

 

"...you should be there for them"

 

 

 

 

 

"Yuri-ah, I know it's painful that your brother left for his job but please don't cry" I approach a crying Yul whose brother left. He's sitting alone in the swing and no one dares to approach him because all of students here hate him for teasing them. We're only eight that time.

 

 

"Why would I not?! What are you doing here anyway? I thought you hate me?" He hissed at me.

 

 

 

"I'm here because I'm your friend. I cannot call myself your friend by simply saying it" I said while I pat his head.

 

 

 

"Really?" His face brighten and I know I said the right thing. I'm not used to seeing a sad and crying Yul in front of me.

 

 

 

"But I always tease you and make you cry. Why are you still here?" He ask. 

 

 

 

"It's true. But I'm here for the fact that, when your friend is having a hard time..." He look at me and expect something good will came to my mouth.

 

 

 

"...you should be there for them"
