-Chaerin’s POV-

I scoop my ice cream harshly. Sitting alone in this coffee shop, I roam my eyes just to checking around me. And…, my mood is getting worse as my eyes only catch those lovey dovey couple everywhere.

I just had a quarrel with Jiyong Oppa before I got here.

I sigh. Hah…, it’s been a year since we re-united. Yesterday was my 28th birthday and guest.., he forgot it!

I didn’t expect such an expensive gift or anything like that. I just want his attention, his concern…

Kwon Jiyong. Yes, he is changed a lot since the first time we met about 4 years ago. But still, his ignorance and harsh traits can’t be removed that easy.

Like yesterday, when he went for a photo-shoot on my special day. He didn’t even say ‘happy b-day’ or ‘sorry’ at all. And this morning, when I asked him about that, he just told me to stop being childish!

He said that wasn’t a big deal and didn’t sorry for that!! Aarggghhhh!!!!!!!!!

We ended up with a fight then I went here

I can’t believe he could do that.

Last night, instead of him, Kris was with me. Like those previous years, he sent a ‘happy b-day’ message right on the midnight. Then he called me, asked what kind of gift I wanted him to bring for me.

Kris, is still as sweet as before. Even though he knew that I’m with Jiyong, he never changes…

If only Jiyong Oppa could be a little bit sweeter. Just a quarter of Kris’s sweetness is enough for me…. but, it’s seems so impossible

I take another scoop, eat it harshly when a voice surprised me

“Eat slowly, Chae-ah. You could break the spoon” Kris is smile and sits across me. “What’s wrong?” he asks as takes a scoop of my ice cream. I sigh and look at him

“Nothing, just usual bad-mood” I answer absentmindedly “so, where is my gift?” I grin and he chuckles

Then he puts a medium sized box on the table

“Happy birthday again, Chaerin-ah…” he smiles genuinely. God…, this guy… I can’t help but smile back at him then reach the box and open it

My smile grows wider when I see what’s inside, a customized adidas sneakers with cute rillakuma embodied on each sides. I look up at him and smiling like an idiot

“You like that?” he asks, still with his signature smile

“Like this? Are you crazy?? I love this!!!!!!!!!!!” I squeal “Thank you, Kris…. You’re the best!” I stand up and run to him, give him a big and tight hug

“Wow…do you love it that much?” he laughs and hugs me back. We keep hugging for a moment before I pulled out

“Thank you, Kris… I didn’t know you would really make this for me. Actually, I was joking when I asked you a pair of rillakuma sneakers. But…, you really got it for me…” I’m so touched by him. He always been like this, and now I feel bad for not being able to give him the same feeling

“Anything for you.It was for your special day, btw…” he smiles again “I’m happy that you like it”

And I can’t hold my happiness anymore. I let out my laugh and he laughs with me

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

-Jiyong’s POV-

It’s hurt.

It’s really hurt to see the woman I love is laughing happily with another man who is clearly loves her. Moreover after you had a fight with her

I run immediately after I realized that I was playing too far. Yeah, there’s no way I forgot her birthday! I marked my calendar since last year! I always remember even though when I was thousands miles from her.

The fact is, actually, I wanted to give her a little surprise. I’ve prepared a special celebration with her tonight, since I was really busy these months lately

I decided to chased her, tell her ‘I’m sorry’ and take her home. But now, I see her with him. I’m debating myself whether to go to her or just let them

The more I see they laugh, the more I feel jealous

Yeah, I’m jealous! And I can’t take it anymore

I walk to them, inhaling a deep breath to calm myself. Behave, Kwon Jiyong…

“Chae…” I call her and the two turn to me instantly. I can see they’re shocked with my presence

“Op-pa… what are you doing here?” Chae flustered.

“To pick you up” I answer her and she just pouts. It’s clear that she still mad at me

“But I still have a ‘business’ with Kris” she said. Then I turn to Kris

“Can I take Chaerin now, please? I have something really important to do with her” I ask him and Chae glares at me

“Uhm.., oh…, it’s ok with me, Hyung. It’s up to her” he looks at Chae

“So, can we go, Chae?” I ask her and she keeps glaring at me

“Can’t we talk later?” she asks coldly

“No. it’s really urgent” I answer her. and after view glares and sighs, finally she agreed to leave with me

“I’m sorry, Kris. I have to go first”

“It’s ok, Chae” he smiles and Chae hugs him

“Thank you…”

“You’re welcome, Chaerin-ah…” and they’re parted, then we walks to my car

“What was that?” she asks angrily

“Not here, let’s talk at home” I say calmly, try to calm her. And with that, she doesn’t talk anymore. We drive silently until we reach the city border

“Oppa, where are we going?” she asks worriedly

“Home…” I answer flatly

“But, it’s not the way to your house or mine” her voice is a bit panic

“You’ll see” I keep driving and we remain in silence until we reach a house on top of this hill

I stop the car and lead her to the house. She looks at me with a thousand questions in her eyes

“Oppa?Where are we?”

“I told you before, rite? We’re home” I smile and hold her hand, walking inside the house

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

-Chaerin’s POV-

My jaw dropped as I enter the big house. This house…, is a two floors large house with large rooms in minimalist but modern style.

My dream house…

I look up at Jiyong Oppa

“Oppa?”

“Neh, Chae-ah. What do you think? Do you like this?” he smiles beautifully

“Oppa, what’s it means??” I’m confused. Is this possible? That this house is….Ours?

“You told me once, that one day, when you’re married and having your own family, you want to live in a house, not an apartment. You want to raise your children in a house with a large room, so they could play and running freely. You want the house to be outside the city so that they could breathe with clean and fresh air. You want the house to have large backyard so that you could teach the children to gardening, planting many kinds of vegetables and fruits for them, so they will grow healthily” he explains and somehow my eyes begin to teary. He remembers those things…..

“That’s why I try to make your dream come true. This house has large-enough room, large back yard, fresh air…, so that we can raise our children like the way you always dream of…” he looks at me deeply and I start to cry

“I’m sorry for taking it so long…, the land here is…, well, quite expensive, so I need such a long time to afford this…” he smiles widely “I wish you like this, Chae…”

I’m speechless. I swear, I don’t know what to say…

He prepared this…, all the time…, Oh God…

So, he was busy, took more jobs than usual just to prepare all of this, and I keep thinking bad about him and blame him for being ignorance? God…, I feel so bad now….

“Chae…, shhh, why do you crying?” he asks panicky as I cry hard. He holds me into his arms and I cry on his chest

“Chae, baby…” he brushes my hair softly

“Op-pa… I’m sorry…” I sob on his chest, hugging him tightly

“It’s ok…” he hugs me back and kiss my forehead. But then, he pull out and release his embrace “I still have another gift for you, let’s go” he holds my hand and winks at me. Wait, another gift? After this dream house, he still has another gift for me??!!

I let him pulls me and follow him voluntary. We’re walking to the backside of the house. There is a large glass-sliding door that leads us into the back yard. And here is it. I feels like my heart about to stopped from beating

There is large back yard with a pond and a large glass house. And…, it’s decorated beautifully…. With a large round table surrounded by candles around it

So, Jiyong Oppa makes a garden party for me? But, where are the people? I mean, there’s a big round table and 7 chairs….

I look up at him confusedly and he just smiles then leads me down the stairs to them

And when we reach our table, he pulls the chair for me, makes me sit there

“Oppa…, you make this party to celebrate my birthday?” I ask again

“No…, this is for another purpose” he smiles mysteriously, confusing me more. But before I
