Chapter 29
The Weird Love Story
The sun didn’t come yet but it became noisy because Sehun
forget last night that he needed to pack his luggage so
he wakeup early, but Ofcourse Luhan win him in wakingup.
So Luhan voluntar to take him to his house himself, as an
older taking responsibility.
Sehun was glad that Luhan is an early bird.
Now Luhan is waiting outside the building, ready to
start the car while Sehun still didn’t fully get ready. Luhan
patiently sit in his car, his hair still a little wet from shower,
the younger guy told him to go first and start the car and he
would be inside the car in five minutes. Its been ten minutes
yet Luhan couldn’t find a glimpse of the younger boy. He
got tired and get the phone that lay on the seat where Sehun
is suppose to be seated. He was going to call Sehun when
Sehun came outside of the building, running like its the end
of the world with his tall, slim yet muscular body. Luhan
chuckled at his clumsy behavior and start the car. Suddenly
an evil idea popped up in his morning brain. When Sehun was
almost close to the door, he drive the car and stopped a little
far from the building, Sehun who got confused run to the car
again, Luhan did the same and stopped infront of the convenience
store. This time Sehun shouted.
“WHAT’S WRONG WITH YOU, JUST STAY STILL I’M ALREADY LATE!!!”
Sehun run with all might, thinking Luhan will park the car
away, when he was close to open the door, Luhan drive the
car with a slow speed someone ever did in history, Sehun
opened the driving car door, when his one leg was inside and
he was half seated Luhan sped off the car making Sehun
to almost fell of the car but Sehun is way professional to die
just like that. He was sweating and panting.
“So tell your hyung how was your early jogging, it was so good
wasn’t it?” Luhan purposely teased the boy who had pink
cheeks because of running.
“Yeah it was infact great.” Sehun answered sarcastically.
“I understand you like me being your good hyung by making
you jog in the sun but please don’t blush like this. People
might think you’re gay.” Luhan teased him further, his
eyes focus on the road but he would steal glances at the
flaming guy.
Sehun snapped. “You’re the worse hyung ever! Do you
know i take a shower about five minutes and now I’m sweating
again and I’m tired too from running!”
Luhan’s eyes didn’t move from the road but he answerd
the younger guy. “Who told you to kick me out from my own
apartment and act like you own it, after kicking me out, you
make me wait in the car for who know’s how much time, Now
don’t come and complain.”
Sehun looked at Luhan disbelieve. “You sure don’t feel
guilty huh? Now because of you i have to take a bath again
and what if i caught cold by taking shower two times in one
or atleast two hours. You’re just being reckless hyung, I hate
you!” Luhan pretended to not hear Sehun’s complain and
keep focusing on the empty road.
Luhan parked infront of Sehun’s house, Sehun tiredly went
out of the car, with low 'good bye' to Luhan. He waited
outside the car for Luhan to drive away but Luhan didn’t show
any sign of moving so he went to Luhan’s side and knock
the window. Luhan opened it.
“Won’t you come out, i know you want to. A little hug and caring
words won’t waste your time. So get up.” Sehun lovingly
said.
Luhan opened the door, get out of it and hugged the taller
guy. “You know i would miss you in this one week, i know you
had to go but promise me once you come back, i would like
to be the first person to meet you okay...”
Sehun wrapped his arms around the guy in brotherly way.
“I would miss you too and promise i shall meet you the first
one on my arrival okay. Just don’t stress yourself too much.
I won’t like to see my hyung become ahjussi after one week
so take care of your health.”
Luhan let go of him and went to the car with Sehan standing
beside the car wore a gentle smile.
Sehun went inside and throw everything that he would
be needed for one week. He actually didn’t know where he
shall be heading to. Kyungsoo shall call him and tell
him exact way that Jiyeon will choose. So he don’t have anything
to worry about but his luggage.
After two hours, his phone ring, as lazy as he is, his
hand slowly reached the nightstand and clumsyly grabbed
his phone and put it close to his ears without checking the
ID caller.
“Hello?” He asked with boring tone.
His eyes widened and he took the paper, writing everything
that the other line person saying.
“So she’s going there by car, fine i’ll take bus because i’m lazy
to drive.”
“Oh, i already pack everything now I’ll go there by
bus.”
“Yeah okay bye.” Sehun said and hang up the phone, grabbing
his luggage he went out of the house to bus stop which is
kind of far from here. He toiled along the road with his
two big luggages. Peoples give him weird look but hey there’s
no rule to not hang around with luggage right.
Jiyeon was hugging Mrs Park tightly. Mrs Park had that
look of sadness but she wanted the better for her child.
Even Mr Park didn’t went to his office because he wanted to
bid his daughter goodbye and pray a safe trip for her. He’s
proud at his daughter’s wise decision and he believe his mother
will take good care of his daughter.
“Take care of yourself okay, don’t do crazy things.” Mrs Park
said.
Jiyeon rolled her eyes. “Mom, I’m not going to foreign
country nor i’m going for months or years. Its just one week
so stop dramatic acts.”
Mrs Park frowned while Mr Park chuckled at mother and
daughters moment. Mrs park lightly slap Jiyeon’s arm. “Is that
how i teach you to talk to your mother, anyway I’m being
concern because i like you otherwise i won’t even care if
you’re still alive in this world you know.” Mrs Park lectured.
“You know
i was kidding mom anyway please take care
of yourself too and you too dad, i love you both.” She sincerely
confessed then hugged her father before sitting in the car.
Her grandparents live in Yangdong Folk Village. It’ll take
a time to reach there so she slept in her way. She wasn’t tired
but who cares if she is or not, its free time.
After hours the car stopped infront of the village.
She thanked the chauffeur before going inside by walking.
Everyone was working. The place has no cover from sun but
that’s the reason that villagers are always consider strong
then city citizens right. She try to cover the sun radiation
with her palms infront of her face. It did help a little though
but not much because her body began to burn by heat. She
became annoyed at the atmosphere so she hurriedly went
to her grandparents house. It take her almost two hours to
reach their house by asking the direction from the peoples
who were working and finally she saw the house that
looked so old, the memories of her childhood come flowing
to her and she smiled inwardly. A very sincere smile
that can make anyone happy. She stand outside the house
and knock because there was no bell. After ten minutes,
she gaveup thinking they might be working now and went
to the market that had a shelter and something she can
eat and drink.
The time past slowly but infact she forgot in that little
waiting time about Luhan. After hours, she take everything
and put them in her back bag and went to the house in
hope that her grandparents reached and as she went close
she can see two womens are bowing to each other. She smiled
widely knowing that this is her grandmother and ran to her,
despite the weight of luggage.
Now Jiyeon was sitting in the house with her grandparents.
Her grandma was preparing the dinner while Jiyeon keep being
silent with her grandfather.
Her grandfather isn’t the type who talk much and prefer
a calm atmosphere. He was always like this so Jiyeon was
use to it already. She helped her grandmother to prepare the
table silently with with a huge smile. She always liked her
grandmother cook and loved it so much.
“So now tell us how was your trip here, was it good or
tiredful.” Her grandmother who was sitting at her left asked.
Jiyeon smiled before answering. “It was okay, not that good
or not that bad.”
Her grandmother nodded understandingly. They talked
about everything they can think of, then finally grandmother
told Jiyeon to go and take a bath while she prepare her bed.
And again after bath, they talked and talked until Jiyeon
tiredly fell asleep. Her grandmother tucked her in blanket,
kissed her forehead and went out of the room.
While Jiyeon is sleeping peacefully, there’s Sehun who’s
staying at one of the villagers house for the night after
begging for two hours the owner agreed. Sehun’s whole
body ache because he walked and walked, he thought
he’s smart enough to follow his hearts direction. Every time
he thought he’s standing infront of right house, it would
be opposite. Finally after sunseting with no option for him,
he went to some fancy house in the town and begged
the owner with not so little lies and persuade the owner to
stay for one night and then next morning help him find the
Park Jikyung’s house. The owner felt sympathecy towards
the boy who told him nothing but lie.
The night pass on peacefully, with fresh hearts of the
villagers, Sehun felt like the worst human being alive remembering
the illegal work he do for a life. He felt the pure and kind
aroma from the villagers.
This is the first time him being here but he believe he will
be willing to come here again and when the next time
he shall come, he’s so sure he would bring Luhan along. He
wouldn’t like that his lovely hyung to miss this which is the
naturals fresh kiss.
The morning came so fast, didn’t let the moonlight to last.
The early villagers are the one keeping the beauty of the
world. They work hard for the community to love. They face
thousand of things and aches in one day, but is there’s
anyone to ask if they’re okay. The point is not far from
the reality they live, which is they live for themselves not for
others.
Its not a problem for them if someone hate them or give
the same amount of love to them, because in the end of the
day they had the same thought if they can’t see the next
mornings love.
Sehun’s eyes open only to realize the mission of the day.
He appreciate the kindness of the villager who give him nothing
but shelter. He doesn’t want to be burden so its okay to leave
the owner. He placed some money on the kitchen counter
for the owner to know it sooner. He went out of the house
without making sound just to make sure that the owner sleep
won’t get disturb.
He make his way to explore the village to know more
about the place. He know well enough its not the right time
to knock the doors, because he’s awake at this time of the
day doesn’t make sense that everyone is awake.
He roam around the place only to find the food stall in his
way which sells the most healthy dish seen. He went close
only to make his smile wider.
“Excuse me mr, can i have those? I’m starving.” The man
who seems healthy gave a smile before putting the food
in bowl.
Sehun finished the bowl in no time, as the once empty
stomach now is full like it was never empty before. The
older man smiled as the younger answerd it with a wave
before making his way to the destiny waiting for a long.
He knocked many doors but the answer was never the
one he want. He was exhausted but a sudden think
make him exhilarat.
The thought to find the girl didn’t let him to get on his
knees but give the spirit he need.
It could be called miracle when he found the girl doing
nothing better then him. His step become faster matching
the rapid of his heart rhythm. He got afraid at the thought
of losing the tracks by the fact his not so fast steps. The happiness
couldn’t be hide when he meet the girl’s wide eyes. When
he reached to the perplex girl the smile take a role on his
lips. He could sense the girl has so many thinks to ask but
nothing come out of her mouth.
He smiled shyly at the girl who waited patiently. He realized
why he was here is the only reason to keep the girl safe. Silent
was all could be heard when all they did is to stay still. Finally
when the girl got conscious she asked the question which
was waited.
“What are you doing here?” was all she could say.
His eyes moves a little to tell a lie which only take a time.
“Amm i came to... To feel the fresh air, yes that’s it but i thought
you were going to your grandparents so don’t tell me
they live here too.” He lied and act like he’s surprised upon
her being here.
The concern got the best of the girl. “Where are you staying,
when did you reach?” Her voice showed worry which didn’t
left unnoticed by the guy.
Again the only way he could answer her was half lie.
“I just came and i don’t have place to stay.”
The girl smiled generously before saying what
got in mind. “I believe you’re tired so how about you
live in my grandparents house, they’re nice people and
you really helped me by being a kind and understanding
friend. How many days you’ll spend here?”
This time it didn’t get him much to answer the obvious question
which he practiced all from beginning. “I’ll be staying for
one week.”
Jiyeon couldn’t hide the pleasure she felt when those words
came like a whisper of birds.
“Did you eat something, should i make a ramyeon for you?”
she asked with delighted that couldn’t be hide by the sound
of her voice.
“I just eat so i’m full but thanks.” He thanked sincerely
which slipped out of his tongue without him meaning
it.
Her grandparents agreed to let the boy who would tell
the same lie. He was greatful to the old couples who
didn’t mind to give him shelter. The thought of them rich
crossed his mind but he would rather ignore the facts.
That night when he slept, his mind occupied by the love
he felt for the opposite . He’s determined to get the heart
of the girl once the sign of next morning come.
The night in this house was much calm and refreshing
because of the love that family spread. Sehun couldn’t
ask more then the lovely family to own.
The girl that came all the way here to forget the love for
the lad she had. The second night make her believe she can’t
forget the feeling she harbor. The promise she made
with her parents is something she won’t just broke
because of her unrequired love. Infact she never promised
to forget the previous love but the promise was to be the
real self she use to be.
Her pretty eyes felt heavy leaving her no option but to shut it.
The blanket she wore giving her nothing but warm. Her life
had been full of mess for all three months opening the door
of misery which was never invited.
She fall in love with the wrong person and the heart was
the only to blame.
