40th chapter (It's time we say goodbye..)
20 days with the arrogant jerk (오만 바보와 이십일)
(Jung Somin’s POV)
“So? What do you think?” Hannah asked me as I grabbed the prom dress Rachel and Hannah chose for me like 2 months ago. That day, it sure was a day. Choosing a dress was a hard thing and I finally understand why it is so damn freaking hard to choose one.
“The dress?” I asked her confused while tilting my head to a side. Rachel had to face palm cause of my dumbness. “No, your face, . No seriously, what do you think of him? He finally asked you out face to face even.” Hannah had to start that story.
“Well… I like it I guess. I meant, you guys are helping me alright, by getting me into another relation which I was hiding for a long time.” I gave a slight glare at them making Rachel to laugh at it.
“Oh come on, Dong Joon isn’t a bad guy.” I gave that look that almost shoots laser’s towards Rachel. “Might be.” Rachel continued due to my poker face laser look. She shrugged and went straight to her phone. “Did you give up on that ?” I tried my best to control my emotions cause of that freaking of a guy she dated.
Rachel looked up and smiled softly which made me to share a look with Hannah and Hannah shook her head. I figured the answer too soon. Letting out a sigh, I grabbed off my top and shorts, and changed into the prom dress.
“Whoa! You look gorgeous in it princess.” Hannah shouted making Rachel to look up surprised and shocked cause of the dress. “You think so? Help me zip it up Hannah?” I asked Hannah for some help as she stood up from her bed and ran up to me to zip it for me.
“Now that you mentioned Dong Joon, where in the world is Hyung Joong? It’s been weeks since I haven’t seen him.” Rachel commented making me to recall the incident we had when I first met Risa.
Flashback started~
“JUNG SARA!” someone cried out and I found that voice familiar. More than familiar to me. I stopped right on my step and turned around to see him smiling at me. “Don’t smile, it hurts.” I muttered as I looked at him.
Hyung Joong ran up to me. “I’m dropping you to Rachel’s place. And I was wondering if you can stay over at your house tonight.” Hyung Joong asked making me to tilt my head to a side.
“Honestly, I don’t want to. Spending some quality time with my best friend is important to me right now.” I replied to him with a heavy chest filled with guilt. Guilt was arousing around me which almost wanted me to puke. I felt sick.
“Oh. I see. Let me go grab my bike. I’ll drop you to Rachel’s.” Hyung Joong replied making me let out a sigh when he walked towards his house which I was in front of. “Hyung Joong? You don't need to.” I called out
“Hyung Joong, are you playing a soap opera or something like that?” I couldn’t help but blurt it out making Hyung Joong to walk up to me and stand in front of me surprised. “What?” Hyung Joong asked in a scoff making me to turn my face away from Hyung Joong.
“Why are you around me? Why do you like to see me suffer so much?” I asked softly making Hyung Joong to raise an eye brow. “Oh.” Hyung Joong couldn’t say much. He stepped back and let out a sigh.
“Oh. I guess you were suffering cause of me. I thought you would be living happily.” Hyung Joong replied making me to let out a heavy sigh. Silence made both of us to suffer more than anything in this world. I felt something between us. Can it be chemistry?
Though, I couldn’t help but keep on rejecting this so called chemistry between us so much. “I’m living happily. I wanna start dating and have fun like Hannah, Rachel and Nora is having. So please, stop acting like you care. I don’t want to go back the past.” I replied and walked away leaving behind Hyung Joong.
“Are you sure you are living happily? You just now told me stop making you suffer. I don’t understand your logic Jung Sara.” He cried out at me making the tears that were stinging in my eyes to just simply flow down my cheeks.
I couldn’t help it. I don’t want to turn around and face him anymore. I don’t have the courage to face him anymore. Not when he ended up being a coward. He needs courage. And without me, I’m sure he can gain it.
Flashback ended~
“Unnie? Mom asked if you were done- OMG?!?! MOM COME IN HERE NOW!” I was woken up by the reality that slapped right on my face by my little sister. “Aissh, Jung Risa get back here now!” I screamed as I ran after her wearing the huge dress that perfectly hid my legs.
“Omo, who is this?” Mom commented as soon as she saw me in that huge dress. I was surprised to see Auntie K as well as Auntie Riana. “Auntie Riana?!” I screamed as I ran up to her to hug her. She chuckled as I clinged on to her. “Omo, Hannah, Rachel where are your prom dresses?” Auntie Riana had to ask making them look at each other.
“Wait for it; they are gonna go wear it now. Right girls?” I asked them with an evil smile making both of them groan. “Just wait till we get our hands on you Jung Sara!” they grumbled like an ogre before walking upstairs to wear their pretty prom dresses.
“Mom, can you just cut down this dress a little bit? It’s a little too long that’s why.” I peeked out from Auntie Riana’s shoulder making Auntie K and mom to chuckle a bit. “Sure why not? First wait till everyone wear their dresses. I want to take a Polaroid picture as well a picture to be on my phone too.” She winked at me making me scoff slightly making everyone chuckle.
A few minutes later, Rachel came out wearing her knee length black dress while Hannah came out wearing a knee length lace top peach dress. “Am I the only one with black and white?” I turned to mom and asked her and Risa who was beside mom clinging onto her arms.
Both of them nod their heads to say yes making me to run after Risa as if we were 5 year old kids. “Okay unnie, I get it. I love you a lot ow! It hurts unnie, let go. I won’t do that again.” she screamed as I grabbed her ears making her scream.
“Jung Sara, let her go. Don’t hurt her.” mom cried out making Risa to Merong me and run to mom and hid behind her to get protection. "Yea she is a kid still." I meronged her as I commented on it.
“Let’s take some pictures now shall we?” mom asked excitedly making everyone to laugh except Risa who felt sad. “I wish I can graduate soon too.” She mumbled loud enough for everyone to hear making everyone to burst into laughter.
“Aaah, after you graduate you do know you’ll have to work like an average adult would. Get a part time job, go to university, and go to another part time job that would definitely be the adulthood my dear child.” I replied back to her sad comment making her to look at me with wide black button eyes in those manga’s we used to see.
“Also, you might have to give up on sleep, meals and lots of stuffs in order to achieve your dreams.” Rachel continued it for me making Risa to stare at everyone with scary eyes. I couldn’t help but pity her; she was totally falling for our trap.
“And you know, you might end up looking like a zombie, and also at times when you put your applications to get a job, you might be rejected. OMG now that I mentioned that, remember our sunbae who got good grades that he got a good job though his best friends end up being homeless?” Hannah made up a story to scare her more making her wail and grab onto mom’s hands which made everyone to burst into laughter.
“That’s scary!!! Mom I don’t want to grow up.” She wailed like a kid making everyone to laugh. “Aigoo, these kids. Enough of this non-sense. Now, now let’s take a picture and get you kids pretty enough to be princess for tonight.” Mom commented making the 3 of us to nod our heads while laughing.
Somehow, I found easy to take care of my little sister who was a half. I don’t find her like a half anymore. It’s like she is my real sister. Been 3 weeks since she joined our family and we are doing so well. I feel happy cause of her. She is more of a pabo, though I’m glad she can make people who are sad even happy within a few seconds.
Taking pictures, having memories, I found it burdensome though, this was just for my mom. I’ll be out of here within 3 months. After my exams, I’ll be going straight to university. I hope I won’t bump into Hyung Joong.

I stayed outside the school hoping she would be here any minute. Seconds to minutes and minute to hours that made me impatient. Where in the world is she was what I can only think of. “Did you wait for a long time?” the familiar voice made me turns around in a spin to see Hannah and Rachel. Where did I hear that familiar voice in that case?
“Relax, she is here.” Hannah whispered making me look around. Both of them gave a slight Hwaiting before walking away. To my surprise, she was hiding behind them both. I didn’t know that my jaw dropped to the ground. She was beautiful…beautiful and breath taking as a princess would.
“I look ugly I know, so please stop staring at Me.” she spoke up making me come back from the fantasy world. Shaking my head slightly, I wondered if I was dreaming or not. I smiled at her and shook my head to say no.
“Absolutely not! You look pretty… maybe prettier than the full moon in the sky tonight.” I tried to act cheesy which made her chuckle. “Aigoo, Kim Dong Joon ah, since when did you learn to speak cheesy language?” she asked me as she clinged onto my arms gracefully.
“It’s an international language, just like English. Hence I decided to learn it milady.” I tried to act like a Britain which made both of us to laugh slightly. She was indeed pretty.
She turned around as if she was finding something, more like someone. “Is everything okay Sara?” I asked her making her startled and to turn towards me. She nodded her head as if she was forced to. “Let’s get going.” I said making her nod her head and wrapped her hand around mine gracefully like Juliet would do. She was a Juliet.
“I heard that this prom night was
