BOMI'S POV

It's our 1st anniversary today and until now I couldn't believe she's mine.

Mind you

She's been mine for the whole year.

Me and her.

Oh I couldn't help but blush like a teenage love struck girl thinking about their crushes. I'm pretty sure I'm smiling like a creep right now.

An image of a sweet, smiling angel suddenly pop out in my head.

Chorong. Park Chorong is officially mine and it's already been a year!

Call me crazy, corny or whipped but my feelings for her will 'always' remain strong and superior.

"What's with our Bomi being all smiley here? Care to share?" I heard Eunji's loud voice, interupting me from my thoughts.

I immediately gave her a grinning look, showing her my small yet perfect toothy grin that made her scoff

"ing wipe that stupid grin off your face right now, its annoying" Eunji pretended to gag

"Yeah yeah. Puke all you want. I don't care" I showed my tongue at her before proceeding to make some coffees.

Oh right, I just got promoted a month ago and I became a barista now. Heh. I make the most delicious coffee ever and not to sound arrogant, but most of the customer came here only to have a taste of my masterpiece.

"So tell me what's behind those ugly smiles pabomi?" Eunji wiggles her eyebrows at me and I chuckled in return

"It's our 1st anniversary and I will prepare something for our special day today...which just means..." I gave her a knowing look and she rolled her eyes

"You're asking for a half day? Correct?"

"Bingo!"

I smiled at her widely and she shook her head

"As much as I want you to go the heck out of my sight right now but that's not my decision to make. That's Taeyeon unnie's." Eunji shrugged

"I know, and Seriously, go find someone to date now so you know how it feels like to celebrate a year of love" I laugh at Eunji's offended reaction

Now that I mention that, I wonder why I've never seen Eunji with someone. I mean, she's easy going, very kind and has a pretty face (as much as I'm disgust to admit that) but I've never seen her going out on a date or something

When we talked about 'dates', she will always find a way to change the topic or even if I insist so, she will always end up saying she's not interested and just walked away like she's distancing herself from talking about 'it'.

"Yah! Stop teasing my single ! You whipped gorilla!"

"At least I have someone to be whipped on, unlike you" I meronged at her. "Do you want me to set you up on a blind date?" I continued my teasing as she clear

"Yah. I told you. I'm not interested" She glared, she also sounded like she wanted to get rid of the topic already so I decided to halt on my teasing. "And I just saw Taeyeon unnie passing by, go and ask her now. Shoo" She wave her hand, shoo-ing me like I'm some kind of dog or something

"Alright~alright~ no need to kick me. I'll go now" I laughed.

- -

"AT LAST!"

I shouted my tiresome away as I finish setting everything up.

From the balloons on the ceiling, rose petals on the floor, cute dining table with candle lights on, bunch of pictures on us glued at the designed wall at the background.

Everything is great and Chorong's presence is the only missing piece for now to make it absolutely perfect

I changed into a formal clothes, It's not everyday I wore a dress so I decided to wear a baby pink one, it's her favorite color after all. My extra couldn't wait to see her reaction

From all the stress she get from work, all those frowny look on her face, complaints and rants she have towards her boss everytime she get home, I wish I could do something to make her forget all about it for a while and celebrate this special day like nothing else matter.

"You're doing great Bom" I muttered to myself as I admire my reflection through the mirror, today ,I decided to tie my hair up. I remembered how she find me y when I do so. I giggled to myself. My freakin' erted mind is on peek. Oh no

I sigh in satisfaction as I admire my masterpiece. I can't believe I could be this romantic. Love can really be tricky sometimes. I hate corny stuffs yet I'm being one.

*RIIIIIIINNNGGGGG*

I quickly look for my phone and answer it right away. I smiled so wide that my jaw hurts already from all the smiling since this morning, but the caller didn't fail to make me this happy.

"Bom ah~"

That voice. Can her voice get any sweeter?

I couldn't help but giggle. I'm amused how she always manage to put a wide smile across my face.

I had to admit that we barely had a long conversation these past few days due to our work schedule plus, she always gets home late and if she did, I'm already asleep. I could only see her fast asleep in the morning and as much as I wanted to wake her up and cuddle with her, I still have work to do which means, I could only leave a simple peck on her forehead or lips before I head to work.

Guess, its part of our adulthood.

For the whole year, its inevitable for us to have an argument. We fuss, we fight, we argue over stupid lil' things but we manage to overcome it all. Thanks to my soft , My heart aches just by seeing her teary-eyes and I can't help but ended up kissing those pouty pink lips.

It was always me making a first move to settle everything up. I don't mind putting aside my pride and apologizing just to please her. I love her that much and thats all that matters

"Babe!"

"Sorry babe. What is it again?"

"Are you not paying attention to me?"

I can clearly imagine her pouting right now. If she's here with me, I'll kiss those right away and she will flash me those eye smile of hers. Urgh. I miss her already

"I'm all ears"

"Did you even hear what I said?"

"Sorry. I was just thinking about you~"

"Are you sure its me you're thinking about?"

"Of course, who else?"

I laugh. Her possessiveness is quite cute. Aww

"Good~ So as I was saying...I'll be home late today. My boss is so not in the mood today. She freakin' asked me to settle some stuffs she should be the one doing. As much as I want to go home now but I really can't say no~ Can I?"

I heard her whine, though I usually find it cute but this time. I'm frowning. Does she even know what date it is today?

"Can't... you really say no?"

I asked softly, I tried my best not to sound like a clingy girl friend but I really can't help but feel a bit disappointed.

I'm trying my very best to stay positive, that at least she remembered what day it is today. But it only confirmed my natural instinct that she really forgot about it. She's still not greeting me though. And it's already pass 10 in the evening.

"Babe you know I only got my job a month ago and I can't just disappoint her. I have to show that I'm worthy of this position."

Being a secretary of a well known, fashion company called 'PANDA-RA' is a very good opportunity for anyone to have.

Of course, But having a boss, ordering my girlfriend like she's some kind of a servant or something is really getting on my nerves.

I mean I get that she's her boss and she has the right to order her around but the fact that she has to buy her a food for lunch and send her daughter to school is already out of the phase, I mean, is that even part of the job?

I badly wanted to scream at her to quit her freaking job already and find something humainely where she can rest, have her day offs and spend time with me even just for any special occassions, like this day.

"Do you know what day it is today?" I try not to stammer.

I wanted to be a girl friend material for her, the one who will support her in everything she does. I'm sure I'm doing just fine for the past days but my patience is already at the peek of my limit and one ing wrong move and I'm sure as hell, I'll burst out like a volcano

"Uh. It's Saturday. Babe. Why?"

"And today's date is?"

I clench my jaw

"Uh...August 03. Why, What's with it Bom-ah?"

I close my eyes. She does not even hesitate and just plainly blurt that out like its not even that important. She even asked what's with it. Like saying what's even important today?

Then after a moment, I heard a gasp on the other line

Yup, she probably remembered that just now and the thought of it made my heart ache like its being electrified.

"L-Listen B-Bomi. I'm so sorry- I didn't kn--"

I didn't even let her finish as I let out a sigh. If I continued talking to her right now, I may end up saying hurtful things I don't even mean

"Don't worry Babe. It's alright. Just do your work right. You don't want to 'disappoint' your boss, Do you?" I smiled bitterly. Yeah. I'm disappointed. Affirmative. "Happy 1st Anniversary Babe. Love you." and just like that. I hung up.

Chorong's POV

After a long hours of spending my time pleading to my Boss to freakin' give me a permission to get home just for tonight and finally hearing the word 'fine-get-out'.

I dashes out from my office, not even caring about those weird glances being thrown at me

I. DONT. FREAKING. CARE

I walked to the parking lot and spotted my car. I quickly fumble to find the key from my bag, get inside and started the machine

"ing great!" I cursed

To all the special days I can forget. It just happened to be our very first Anniversary and I couldn't be more disappointed to myself.

I know I disappointed Bomi. So so freaking much. I literally neglected her these past few days and I'm kind of surprised that she's still very supportive to everything I do.

She never complain and even lend her ears just to listen to my rants as soon as I reach home.

Although, I often find her asleep but there's some time when, she stayed up all night just to wait for me even though she still has work schedule the next day. It soften my heart

I could see all the efforts she put, all the cookings she made every morning for my breakfast, All the kisses she stole before she leave for work in the morning. All the love she gave to me through the whole year. And I couldn't ask for more.

My love for her is increasing each passing day, and that's the power she hold.

I didn't know how she does it, her love for me is passionate and pure and I love every single thing about it. I even find myself getting fond of her, my love for her is getting strong each day to the point that I couldn't even imagine my life without her.

I admit sometimes, it crosses my mind.

What if she grew tired and decided to leave me?

What if she find someone else who could give her the love she deserves?

What if she find comfort from someone else?

Though, I know she wouldn't as she loves so me dearly.

But sometimes, having a thoughts of her leaving me one day drives me insane and I pray to God that she won't.

Not today.

Not tomorow.

Not ever.

I'll kill for her

That's how much I love her. This love that I felt for her is different, I didn't even feel this kind of affection,not even for Suho Oppa.

And yet here I am. I'm such a big disappointment.

If she ever get tired of me, felt neglected and leaves me just because of that. I'm freaking willing to quit the hell out from my job.

It's always been my dream to become a secretary from a known company. But if it will be the reason why Bomi would leave me behind anytime.

Then, I'm willing to turn my back off that stupid dream.

Coz today

I only dreamed of being together with Bomi in the future.

I see my future with her.

Us.

Together. And that's all that matters.

-

"Bom!"

I swing the door open and let out a surprised gasp

All the exhausion I've been through suddenly vanishes at the heart warming sight in front of me

The balloons on the ceiling

The petals scattered on the floor all the way from the door way

The candle that is already melted

The pictures pasted on the wall prettily

All the efforts

And the woman on a pink dress

My woman

Sitting, head agaisn't her arms on the well decorated table as she fell asleep

I put my hands over my mouth to stiffle my stupid sob

*Sobs*

But I can't help it.

My eyes darted at the wall clock as it hit exactly 12 midnight.

It's August 04 already and Guess what

I missed it.

I missed our freakin' anniversary just like that

Without even a single greetings for her

Not even a single greeting messages

I'm a disappointment

She still waited for me even though I told her I'll be running home late.

What did I do to deserve her?

What the hell did I just do?

I slowly approach her, kneel down as I her hair. She even tied her hair up and wear a baby pink dress. She really made a thought of it as she know I like baby pink so much.

I bit my lower lip, trying to muffle my sob but to no avail.

I saw her stir and lift her head up, she open her eyes and met mine, she look surprised as if she saw a ghost but soon smiles warmly for a split second

But immediately frown after realizing I've been crying like a baby

"Bom-ah..." I called out. "I'm so sorry. I'm so stupid" I shook my head.

"Please...Don't cry"

The first word that came out from

Guilt started swallowing me

How is this woman still thinking of me despite what I did to her. I made her wait for hours. I missed out everything. I forgot about our damn Anniversary. And here she is worrying about me, crying.

She immediately wrap her arms around me and I tighten my grip on her neck like my life depends on it

I pour all my love into it, hoping she will feel how much I love her and that, I can't imagine my life without her

"I'm so sorry...I'm so sorry"

"It's ok" She patted my back, soothing me

"Forgive me...P-please...Don't break up with me" I sobbed harder at the thought of her leaving me

"What?" She pulled away and stared at me like I say some stupid things

"D-don't you dare...b-break up with me" 

She was in a daze for a moment and then break into a fit of giggles, cutely pinching my cheek

"What break up are you talking about? And is that a threat? You silly cute lil' bean. Come here" She hugged me once again. Warm.

Why the hell does she felt so warm agaisnt me. It felt like home. It's so comfortable. Yoon Bomi is my freaking home. I love this girl to death

"I don't deserve you" I continued to whimper. "I-I don't deserve you."

"What are you saying. Paboyah~ You deserve all the things that revolve on this earth including me. Why are you such a cry baby huh?"

I lightly slap her back for teasing me in this state

"I-I'm serious here Bom ah~ I seriously don't de-deserve someone like you" I said between my gritted teeth as I sob like I'm yearing from someone's death. "Bu-but even if I don't deserve you...P-please don't break up with me. You,you can't do that"

"What. Why would I break up with the love of my life. That's stupid Chorong ah." She shake her head and laugh like she heard a funny joke. "Now stop crying and just have a date with me already, I waited long enough" She pouted

I pulled away from her, cupped her face with my palm and stare deep in her eyes. I can see my reflection through the window of her soul as I tried my best to convey what I tuly felt for her

Her eyes soften under my touch and I whisper the words that has been itching to come out from my mouth

"I love you. I love you. I love you" I emphasize every I's, Love's and You's passionately. "I love you so much Bomi that it hurts. I love you and I hate myself for hurting and disappointing you every single time, when all you ever do is pour all your love and support for me." I bore my eyes to hers, tears still falling

"I love you too--" I cutted her off by placing my lips on hers. Letting it linger for a matter of second before pulling away.

"Just let me finish first" I sternly ordered and she nodded in return like a kid listening to her Mom's advice

"I seriously love you so dearly. I can't imagine my future without you" I spoke up with sincerity and I could already see some tears forming in the corner of her eyes.

She probably didn't expect me to say that but I'm certain, she's the one for me.

"Please forgive me for making you feel like I neglected you in so many ways, b-but I wanted you to know that everytime I worked hard, I thought of us and our future. You have no idea how thankful I am for having you in my life. And I want to let you know, that I love you this much and that I'm willing to turn my back on everything just for you. I love you" I peck her lips. "...Happy 1st Anniversary my love~"

And as soon as I finish what I wanted to say, I kissed her passionately and let our emotions take over us

This time, it's not always about heat screaming for an intimate affection, this time it's not about lust. It's not about anything related to making-up .

This time It's all about LOVE

It's all about PURE LOVE

Author's POV

"Bomi Unnie...Can I ask you something?" It was one of their waitress, Sana who's shyly tucking some hair strands behind her ear

"...Uhuh..." Bomi is too busy to even spare a glance at her as she was too concentrated at making one cappuccino on her hands.

"I was wondering...Unnie, Are you dating someone already?"

She asked which immediately earn Bomi's attention right away. She look away from the coffee machine for a second and let out a chuckle as she saw the very flustered young girl in front of her.

"I do Sana yah. Wae?" She smiled, she know very well about the two waitress having an admiration towards her. But instead of ignoring them, she find them quite cute.

Not that, she's flirty or something like that. It's just that, It reminded her about her past crushes in the during her schooling days. And she knew, they will get over her soon as soon as they find out about her, already having someone else in her heart.

"Oh..." Sana has her very disappointed expression for a split second before it was replaced into a force smile one. "Nothing Unnie-- I just YAH!!!!!" Sana glared at the intruder who just smack her using an empty plastic bottle.

"What are you doing, distracting Bomi Unnie like that? Can't you see she's working right now?" Tzuyu said between her gritted teeth.

"Do you really have to smack me with that?!" Sana slap Tzuyu's arm as a revenge. "...And I was just asking if she's already dating someone. Can you stop glaring at me?!" Sana glared back and they ended up having an intense staring battle

Bomi just stood there awkwardly

"Uh...Hahaha...Girls...You see, I do have someone else now and we just celebrated our first year together"

That effectively made the two break their glaring battle and look at Bomi with a sad look in their eyes

"That's very sweet Bomi Unnie...I hope you guys last long" Sana choked on her saliva and immediately turn around and walk away like some kind of a broken hearted guy in a kdrama

"...I'm happy for you Bomi unnie. And Happy 1st Anniversary. Send my regard to your love one" Unlike Sana, who's acting like a broken hearted teenage girl. Tzuyu manage to greet her properly with a hint of sincerity in her voice before bowing, leaving Bomi alone.

All surprised at the incident just now

Did she just saw Tzuyu's sad pout after the greetings and did she just made Sana cry?!

Holy crap.

That's not her even her intention--

"Hey Bom..." Yuri tap her shoulder, Bomi turn around and smiled at her in return. "Go find Eunji, tell her that I wouldn't let her have her day off today as his uncle told me so and let me do that for you for a sec"

"Oh...I'll go find he now Yuri Unnie" Bomi bowed and made her to find Eunji

-

"Where did that idiot go-"

Bomi was busy finding Eunji when a familiar voice snap her out from her thoughts

The voice was coming from the stock room and she's certain it belonged to her best friend.

And it looks like, she's having a phone conversation

Not wanting to disturb her, she shrugged, ready to turn around when heard Eunji spoke once again

"Are you sure?"

...

"She really have no idea?"

...

"Really? Not even a hint of familiarity?"

...

"Woah. What kind of black magic did they do to her?"

...

Eunji's conversation with whoever it is caught Bomi's attention. They seem to share a very serious and sensitive topic that Eunji sounded like she's another person Bomi has no idea she could be.

She  almost sounded like an investigator or some agent under FBI's or something

"No. We can't let her know. Do you hear me?"

...

'You can't let who know? Just who is she talking to?' Bomi frown.

"No. You don't understand. She's happy now. I can't let her ruin my best--"

Deep in her thoughts

She accidentally lose her balance yet luckily steady herself but unlucky enough to hit the empty box beside her causing for it to fall with a loud thud.

*THUD*

"" She cursed

"I-I'll talk to you later"

...

"B-Bomi"

"O-Oh hey Eunji ah."

"How long have you been standing there?"

Bomi wanted to think that the phone call Eunji had with whoever it is was irrelevant, but the way Eunji look so terrified right now and the way she throw her a strange question, successfully made her suspicious at some point

'Isn't it weird for her to asked that?' She mentally thought.

She cleared , giving Eunji an unreadable look before she snapped out from it

"Uh no. I was just skipping my way here and accidentally dodge the box" Bomi pointed at the box on the floor

"O-oh, So what are you doing here anyways?" Eunji asked once again, a hint of nervousness is noticeable

'Strange. Why is she so nervous?' Bomi narrowed her eyes at Eunji

"Yuri Unnie asked for me to look for you. And...unfortunately, she also told me that you can't have your day off today" Bomi explain as a matter of fact but couldn't shake off the fact that Eunji's acting really weird, she's even avoiding her gaze

"Oh..." Eunji cleared . "Is that so?"

"What about you? What are you doing inside the stock room?"

"Oh. I-I was looking for my missing watch. And. Found it" Eunji show her wrist, her smile was forced, Bomi could tell. She's not Eunji's bff for nothing. She know that smile the most

Bomi narrowed her eyes again.

Why can't she tell her that she had a phone  call with her friends or something?

Why does she have to lie?

Is it because it was something related to her?

She doesn't want to become delulu but something's telling Bomi that there is something off

"You're asking for a day off?" Bomi pried

"What? You're the only one who can and I can't?" Eunji playfully retorted. "W-well I have to go now. Yuri Unnie must be waiting for me." Eunji's eyes are elsewhere but her.

And Bomi is certain that she is avoiding her.

'What is it Eunji ah? Just what are you keeping from me?' Bomi frown, looking at Eunji's back disappearing from her sight.
