Chapter 3:

Everything Has Changed

Jonghyun POV:

It’s already 15 years since that day, It’s my first time here after years, there are many difference from 15 years ago. I get closer to that seesaw, my favorite in this playground. That little girl, is she still the same?, if we meet, will she recognize my face?. I sit on the seesaw, the memories from 15 years ago suddenly appear in my mind, the day we meet and the day we part.

15 Years ago..

It’s already three month since I know about Yul, we always play togather in this playground, two days ago her sister who has a new camera take photo of us and promise us to print it out and give it to us, she told us that today she will give it to us. But today, there is another news, a bad news. When Yul appear with big smile on her face, I feel that I can’t talk to her about that bad news, but if I don’t from who she will find out that from tomorrow I’ll not come to this playground again,

“Jjong..my sister print it for us, one for you and one for me,” she give me the photo, I tried to smile, but I can’t, and she know that I’m not in a good mood today, “is there something wrong?,” she asked to me.

“Yul-ah...I think, from tomorrow I can’t play with you again,” she doesn’t response it, but from that face I knew that she has so many question in her head but she can’t voice it out, “my parent decided to get divorce, so my mother want to move from that house and she take me out too,” I make a clear explanation, but she just silently looking at me. We spent our two hours in silent, I put a flower crown on her head, I make it while waiting for her three hours ago, “it’s my present.”

“Ah..You was the one who asked me to play with you three month ago, but now you are the one who leave me to play by myself, ” she lowered her head, I know that she is crying right know, so I reach her hand and rub it, “I’m sorry, really really sorry,” I said sorry again and again, she wipe her tears and smiled to me and it’s more hurt for me,

“No, it’s not your fault,” she pull my hand so we standing side by side, “stay healthy and don’t forget me, I’ll always come to this playground in the future, if you have time, come to this playground too.” I said good bye to her, before I really leave her, I said  the words that I want to ask, “we will meet again, right?,” she just give me a smile and I leave her alone in that playground.

Someone pull down the other side of the seesaw, now Jonghyun on top, that little girl face crosing his mind,

“Yah..Hong Jong Hyun...,” that voice make him more shocked, Jonghyun look at the one who gave him shocked, he just smiled at him and wave his hand, “is there something that bother you?,” he asked Jonghyun.

“I thought you are that person,” Jonghyun said while trying to put up his weight so he can go down from the seesaw.

“That person?, who is that person..”

“It’s not that important for you, Dongwook-ah,” he gave him a hug when he succed go down from the seesaw, “it has been along time.”

“Right?, but you want me to meet you in this playground?, you should take me to a luxurios restaurant and treat me there,” Dongwook protest to his friend. Jonghyun and Dongwook become friend when they had study in Canada, Jonghyun is the one who help Dongwook to get used in foreign country since Jonghyun life in Canada for a long time.

“You came faster than usual,” he surprised by his frined. When they were in school, almost everyday Dongwook came late.

“I just drove my girlfriend around here, so it’s not take much time to meet my best friend,” Dongwook pull Jonghyun’s body and ask him to go with him to cafe nearby so they can talk more comfortably.

“Wah girlfriend?..you’ll introduce her to me right?” Jonghyun asked abot Dongwook girlfriend, Yura. Dongwook just smile at him.

“So...why you come to Korea, now?, four years ago I asked you to came with me, but you refused it,” Dongwook asked when they reached the cafe.

“The reason I came to Korea, my step dad want me to take care of his artist management. I refused to came for years because I don’t like to do bussines, but my dad said to me everyday that I’m his heir, although I’m just his step son, he want me to run his bussines as his heir, so I must came right?,” he has big smile on his face and he’s thinking again and I want to meet her again.

“Wah..you had a big company in such a young age.”

“It’s not mine though, I’m just a worker, my dad is the owner.”

 In Yujin’s house, Yura so busy to prepare some surprises for her sister. She prepare some foods for their dinner and she set the dining table with some candles and flowers,

“Let’s say that it’s my bribe so she will forgive me. But, she must beg for my forgiveness too, if she didn’t done that to me, I wont be that angry and talked about her secrets when I drunk,” Yura light the candles and some one come to the dining room,

“what is this?, you didn’t come to the office today, but doing this thing in home?, are you crazy?,” she just came home but already throw her sister with her rude words.

“Aish..must you said those words?, unni, it’s my way to say sorry to you. So, how about unni?,” she gave her sister a question that make her sister confused, “unni must say sorry to me too, right?. Unni must be remembered that unni have done something wrong to me too,” she walked closer to her sister.

“Okay, my way to say sorry to you is..eat the foods that you prepared for me, so let’s have dinner, I’m really hungry right now,” she sit and take some foods to eat. They spent their night in dining room, say sorry to each other and talking about their problem,

“So, that little boy comes to your dream again?, you must missing him, right?,” Yujin asked to Yura.

“Maybe, I came to that playground, and I realized that I missed him so much,” she drink the beer.

When midnight came, they return to their own room and lay down on their bed. Yura staring at the photos that she hung up in red yarn, those are the photos of seesaw in playground and in some photos there is Yura in it, there are 15 photos in total. Under the photos there are hand writing, from left to right (two days after you said good bye..unni lend me her camera, a year after you leave..your favorite seesaw is still the same, two years after you leave..seesaw had different colour from before, three years...now I’m a junior high school student, four years..I’m still waiting, Five years...how are you Jjong?I’ve a polaroid camera now, six years..I miss you..now I’m in senior high school, seven years..I’m still counting until you come, eight years..how was your day?, nine years...I’m in collage now..I take design major, ten years..are you still the same?, eleven years...it’s really frustrating, twelve years...Jjong, you are too much, thirteen years...I’ve a boyfriend now..do you have a girlfriend?, fourteen years..missing you again..but you wont come here, right?..) the last one..the new photo, the seesaw and the tall man (29th July 2015...it’s already 15 years, and I’m still doing this),

“Will I dream about you again, tonight?,” and then she fall asleep.
