Description

 

A story of two people, too blind to see that the love they are looking for is just standing in front of them.

 

Kim Hyeri spends her 22nd summer vacation the usual way she does it: going back to her hometown, spending most of her time painting rural landscapes, taking care of the flower shop to earn a few cash, and that's it. A very plain and simple summer Hyeri perpetuated on her mind. However, what will happen when she bumps into the ever-so-charming Zhang Yixing? Will her stone heart be moved?

But here's the catch, Yixing seems to have a connection with her late sister.

Will it hinders her feelings for him?

Falling in love, or failing in love

What will Hyeri choose?

AUTHOR'S NOTE:
I can't believe I changed everything. Well, not everything. Maybe, 3/4 of it? Please don't spank me! Well, I changed the color. It is a little bit soothing. ^^

P.S.
The first two chapters are quite similar to the previous one that I've written, but that doesn't mean you won't read the whole thing. I have made a few changes in between. Hope you give lots of love on this new version! I'm sorry and thank you! I love you xxx.

 

Foreword

{Prologue}

 

October 19, 2014

"What are you doing here?"

The older girl pushed through the door while taking her things in.

"Does dad knew about this?" She continued to ask.

"He will never know, unless you tell him." She smiled mischievously.

"Oh, no. You will go home this instant!"

"Make me."

"I will!"

 

 

October 20, 2014

"I can't believe you're here," Hyeri placed her head down on her pillow, pushing her head deeper and deeper, not letting one particle of air enter.

"Are you trying to kill yourself?" Mi Yeong pulled her sister's hair.

 

"Are you?"

 

 

October 22, 2015

"Dad called me in class!" Hyeri beamed at the older girl who was sipping on her hot chocolate.

"He's looking for you!"

"What did you say?"

In response, she said nothing.

"Have you told him that I was here?"

There was a long pause.

 

"I didn't."

 

 

October 25, 2015

"I-It's h-hard t-to b-breathe..."

"It's okay. It's okay. I'm here. Just hold my hand, eonni. Hold on."

 

October 26, 2015

"What will happen to you when you get another attack?"

The older one shrugged. There was silence between them.

"Hyeri, have you ever been in love?"

The question startled her. "Have you?"

 

"I don't know."

 

 

October 28, 2014

"What are you writing?" Hyeri asked.

 

"Nothing."

 

 

October 30, 2014

"I told dad," She said to her sister.

"What?"

"I haven't told him about you staying here. I just assured him that you are fine," In the verge of crying, Hyeri held it in.

 

"I'm sorry.

I've been a terrible sister."

 

 

October 31, 2014

There was a note placed on top of the table:

"There's a huge world waiting for you, Hyeri. Explore it. Eonni loves you."

 

May 2015

It was five months, then, after the news that her sister had passed away. Seven months since the last time she met her, or basically, lived with her. Yes, it was a secret she kept from her dad, but soon after, she told him. She didn't want him to worry, nor make anything worse. Well, everything happened like a bullet train. Before you knew it, it was already summer.

"Thank you!"

In her usual hang-out, eating her same pistachio-flavored ice cream on her usual time of the day, Hyeri waved the cashier good bye for she knew that this might be the last time she will see him until she'll come back from her vacation.

Running back to her deserted home, Hyeri sighed in disbelief. It's thirty minutes past two p.m. and yet there were so many things left for her to do. Her clothes were unpacked, her table was a mess, she still had the prototype that was due today and she hadn't gotten herself a meal for lunch.

Finishing the last bite of her ice cream, Hyeri started cleaning up her table. Everything she found belonged mostly to her sister: an mp3 player, an envelope, Lee Minho's magazines and a few pocketbooks. She kept them into a box in which her father ordered her to do. That's the thing about her dad, he had the attitude of keeping the things of the person who passed away just to keep a piece of them for the people to remember them.

Later that day, she dined with Hyeri and Sehun after packing her belongings and finishing the tasks she ought to do.

"Are you sure you're not coming with me?" She asked Sehun, who's tapping endlessly on his phone screen.

"Yup. I'll be staying for a while. I still have errands to do."

"No, you don't," Yura, sipping her drink, said in a cunning way.

"I'm not talking to you," He raised a brow, still, staring at his phone.

Hyeri wondered: Sehun should be in love with her bestfriend now, but nothing's happening. If he was really uninterested, her poor Yura should give up. Falling in love and being in love, Hyeri never had an idea about these two complex human emotions.

That night, before Hyeri went to sleep, she saw an old looking paper resting on her floor. It was an intriguing one.

It read:

"The Little Prince"

A book card. Reading its title, it didn't belong to any of the books she found. Now, she had the responsibility to return this.

Hyeri tucked herself on her canopy bed, before turning off her bed lamp.

It was a bright evening. The light coming from the moon was enough for her to see the shadows of the gingko trees, swaying in the melody of the summer breeze.

"The Little Prince," Hyeri spoke in a soft voice.

The sound of the leaves dancing below made her feel something—like something good will happen. It was unsettling, but it was the first time in a few months that she have felt something like this.

"The Little Prince," she said once again. Repeating it made it more familiar to her.

She then had escaped to dreamland.
