Sooyoung POV:

When I sit in front of my desk, the book that I often read is not the text book but a romance novel. I more enjoying reading novel or other fiction book than text book, so my school grade not as good as Sungjae, but I’m not that bad. Like the other night, tonight while waiting for my dad comeback from his work, I’m reading a new romance novel, I borrowed it from school library. While reading the novel, the list that I want to make cross my mind, so I bring my diary and write my list...’If I had a Lover..list’

“If I write acording to the lyric of that song, it’ll be kissing, but in reality if you had a lover, kissing is not the first thing you must do, I don’t want he see me as an easy girl, so...”

1. Go to amusement park
2. Bike
3. Watching movie
4. Walk arm in arm
5. Take a photo
6. Cooking just for him
7. Go to beach
8. Surprise event in his birthday
9. Picnic

“Dad coming,” a man voice from front door, my dad come. He is a detective in Seoul Police station, because of his work, he rarely come home, and here I’m always left alone in house.

“Welcome, dad..” I hide my list and headed to the front door welcoming my dad.

“It’s already late, you’ll be late to school tomorrow,” he immedietly nagging when he saw my face.

“I’m waiting for my dad,” I pull his body to the kitchen, “I’ll make dinner for dad and then sleep,” I’m preparing dinner for my beloved dad, because he never experienced his wife’s food, my mom never trying to make something delicious for her husband or me and just leave us like that, “jya...here it’s, we got some side dish from Sungjae’s mom several days ago and it’s still delicious. I’ll sleep now, have a nice dinner dad,” I kissed his cheek and run to my bed room.

“Have a nice sleep,” he said loudly. Yes, I’ll have a nice sleep but then my phone ringtone rang, a messege from unexpected person, mom. She always like this, she will contact me if she want it, but whenever I called or messege her, she never response that. I want her to come to my graduation, but there isn’t response, I messege her in the first day I become a high schoolar, but there isn’t response. When my birthday come, I messege her in order she’ll wish me happy birthday, but she never say that, I never heard my mom wish me happy birthday since three years ago. And what is this now?,

Sooyoung-ah...the day after tomorrow is

mom’s wedding party. Come to garden palace

at 1 Pm, there is something I want to say...

“Wedding party?, after three years, she already married, but our dad still busy with his work,” I put my handphone on lamp table and leave her messege, she never reply my messege, so I try not to replay her messege, I’m in deep thought. Should I came?.

 Sungjae POV:

Today, after school Sooyoung want me to came with her to a beauty shop. I don’t know what she want to buy, but I just say ‘yes’ everytime she ask me to accompany her. But there is a problem now, a test for next month olimpiade of mathematics will be held today after school, so..

“Sooyoung-ah..” I came to her class to inform her that I can’t accompany her to the beauty shop.

“Ah...I already said to him that don’t come to my class,” she walked to me lazyly, “yah..I already warned you right?,” she hit me hardly.

“I’m sorry...I can’t accompany you today, wanna go tomorrow?,” I suggest to her.

“Ah..test?, alright I’ll go by myself, good luck on your test then,” she leave me like that like she doesn’t care about me.

“Yah..Park Sooyoung,” she stop her step after hear my shout and turn her head to me, from her face I know that she told me to stop it, but it’s my hobby to annoy her, “merongg…Park Sooyoung pabo..,” I put out my tongue, I know the whole class’s eyes are on us, but I don’t care, I want they know that I and Sooyoung played like this, so don’t bother her just because she closed to me, I walk slowly, leave her class, I hear some girls ask to Sooyoung,

“Are you that close to him, he called you pabo.” There isn’t reply from her, I know I’ll get hit after this, but I don’t really care abou that, I often get hit from her, so my body already accustomed by her hit.

After school Sooyoung straight to the bus stop, there are some students from her school waiting for the bus, when she reached the bus stop, some of them immedietly talk about her,

“Isn’t she Sungjae’s close friend?,” one of them ask the other. Sooyoung who feel uncomfortable with all the talk put her earphone and listening to the music. They still talk about her, she isn’t clearly hear what they say, but it’s annoy her when she heard word ‘dumb’ from their mouth, they even don’t know her well, they know her since one month ago, why they said that rude word,

“Ah..the bus seems a bit late today..” she keep look at her phone screen, when the bus come she immedietly get in and looking for the seat, but unfortunately the bus seat is full so she must stand in 15 minutes. When the bus reached another bus stop, some people get off form the bus, Sooyoung doesn’t know that there are two empty seats. Someone pull her hand and tell her to sit beside him, The someone is none other than Minhyuk, Sooyoung screening him, why we always at the same bus, and it’s not the bus that goes to my home,

“I’ll go to my mom store in Myeongdong,” he said that as he know what she is thinking now, “where are you going?.”

“Myeongdong, to buy..,” she doesn’t continue her speak, “nothing..” and just looks straight.

“We go to the same location, want to buy something?,” he provoking her so she will tell what she want to buy.

“Just something..for my..,” she stop again, “nothing.”

“Tell me, maybe I can help you. You want to buy something for your..mom, dad, friend, or lover?,” he asked too much, it’s make her uncomfortable.

“It’s nothing,” she stand, and he follow her to the exit door. She feel someone following her from her back, she know who is he, so she walked a bit faster and enter to the one of the store, household furniture store. She look around the store and turn her head at the back, he is still there waving his hand,

“what are you doing?,” she scolded him who follow her until here, when she about to hit his hand, someone call his name,

“Ow..Minhyuk-ah,” a woman voice, “you come?, help mom with this..,” a woman hand to him a big box, and then she look at Sooyoung, “are you his friend?,” she asked her, Sooyoung just smile awkwardly.

“My junior from school. Sooyoung-ah look around, if you need help tell me,” he left her with his mom.

“which one is your taste?,” she get closer to Sooyoung.

“Hmm..”, she still hesitate, should she tell or not, in the end, “I look for a gift for my aunt who has her wedding tomorrow, ” here she go the liar Sooyoung.

“Wedding?, does she like cooking?, or ah..what does she like?.”

“She doesn’t really like cooking and she never try to make a dish. What I know is, she doesn’t really like doing house chores,” Sooyoung describing her mother bad side.

“So, ornament will be work then. Since she doesn’t like cook, the cooking kit wont help. It’s cute right,” she shows Sooyoung a cute clock, it’s really a big one, “or this,” now she shows Sooyoung a couple slippers.

“I want this,” Sooyoung pointed at an elegant flower vase and Minhyuk’s mom immedietly take it.

“a good choice. Wait a minutes, I’ll wrap it,” she left Sooyoung, but Sooyoung follow her from behind.

“Excuse me, can I get an apron?,” Sooyoung asked.

“Of course, you can choose it. But, you said that your aunt doesn’t like cooking..,” she lead Sooyoung to choose the apron she want. When Sooyoung give her the apron that she want, she begin to wrap the gift prettly,

“Thank you,” she give the change for Sooyoung, “because you seems close to my son, I give you a discount, but in return you must come again,” Sooyoung just smile and give her a bow.

Minhyuk comes out and looking for Sooyoung who just leave,

“She didn’t talk too much, is she the pinky cheek girl?,” looks like she know something about Sooyoung.

“Hmm..she is. What she bought?,” he asked to his mom.

“A flower vase and apron, she said tomorrow is her aunt wedding so she want give her something,” his mother explain to him and give him the big box once again,

“Where is hyung?, is he deliberately not come here?,” he is looking for his hyung, Mingo.

“He just come, but he said that he has a lecture now, so he goes to his campus.”

Sooyoung POV:

I try to write a letter for my mom, it’s her wedding anyway, I want her to be happy after all.

Mom..I wish a happy wedding for you.

Take care of your husband well.

I give you a flower vase,

so you can use it as your new house decoration.

And I hope you use this apron someday to cook something

for your husband, let him taste your food.

                                          Sooyoung-ie...

When I finish write my letter, my handphone rang, someone called..

“Why..?,” I answer his called.

“Where are you..?, did you bought the thing you want?,” he asked me.

“Hmm..of course. Did you call me just want to ask that?.”

“Should we walk around?, I’m stress.”

“Why? the test didn’t go well?,” I asked him to make sure what happen before.

“Nope..it went well, I think from first class, I’ll get select,” he start again, his selfconfidence.

“Then, why you stressed?.”

“I don’t know, let’s walk around to release my stress,” he beg once again, I think he will stop it until I grant his wish, so

“Okay, meet me at park.”

“I’ll meet you in front of your apartement,” I didn’t give him reply but he just end the call.

“Ah..this friend...,” I clean up my desk and take my jacket before get out. Because he always there when I need a friend to talk, so I’m. I’ll always there if he need someone to talk.

We meet at park, we often come here at night to tell how is our day. He come with a plastic bag full of snacks,

“What’s make you stress out?, I think from your face, you didn’t look stress at all,” I welcoming him with my little sarcasm words. He give me those snacks and sit beside me,

“What you bought?,” he asked me.

“Yah..tomorrow is my mother wedding party, I bought something for her, but now..why I feel that I can’t come to her wedding party?,” I tell him the real story.

“Wedding party?, your dad know about it?.”

“I don’t know. If he didn’t know, I won’t tell him about it, I’m afraid it’ll make him recall the past. Should I come?,” I want him to give me suggestion.

“She inform you about wedding party, so it’s must be she want to see you, you must come, she is your mother after all.” Yes, that’s right, she is my mother after all. Although she leave me with my dad more than three years ago with the other men, she still consider me as her daughter, yes I’ll come tomorrow. “So, tomorrow you’ll wear a dress?, you have a dress?,” he asked me that question. He knows that I don’t really like wearing that kind of clothes, so he is wondering if  I ‘ll dress for tomorrow, any way it’s a wedding party, “I’ll ask my sister to lend you her dress, she has a lot of dresses.” Ah..her sister, she is feminime type and that kind of clothes is her usual anyway.

“Should I?, I’ve dress, but I think it’s too small for me because the last time I wear it was two years ago,” he laugh at me and he nod to agreement, I take my handphone in my poket and turn on the mp3, that song again, when he realized it, he take a deep breath and stole my handphone,

“The other song,” he searched the other song and change it, “that was a nice song, but if you always hear that song you’ll get tired,” we enjoyed each other accompany in  that park until late night and back to our home.
