(Truth)

 

I tried to calm unnie Gabbie down...................But she's still shaking and I know that deep inside she's really humiliated.......embarrassed to face Ki Bum oppa..........

 

Me:Uhmm....Unnie......

Gabbie:Yes Shiee??

Me:Are you feeling okay now??

Gabbie:A little bit........

Me:Unnie.........

Gabbie:Shiee.......I'm sorry........

Me:Huh?? (Surprised)

Gabbie:I'm so sorry Shiee..........

Me:It's okay unnie....I know that you're just annoyed.......

Gabbie:The truth is..........Since Ki Bum oppa and I are little........I already liked him....

Me:That's very sweet.......

Gabbie:And I really do envy you..........

Me:Why is that??

Gabbie:Because he choose you to be his girlfriend..........

Me:Unnie......

Gabbie:So...I'm really sorry for bullying you......

Me:Actually unnie.........I've got something to say too.......

Gabbie:What??

Kris Anne:Shiee!!! (Interrupting)

Me:Yes??

Kris Anne:Uhhmmm........Unnie Gabbie...Can I excuse Shiee??

Gabbie:It's okay......

Me:Excuse me for a while unnie........

Gabbie:Take your time......

Kris Anne:We're having a problem.............

Me:What??

Kris Anne:Xander oppa...........

Me:What about him??

Kris Anne:He's not talking to anyone........Even us....

Me:He's mad?!?!

Kris Anne:I don't know Shiee......Maybe he is............

Me:Why?!?!

Kris Anne:I don't know!! Go and look for him.......

Me:I have to tell something to unnie Gabbie first..........

Kris Anne:What is that??

Me:That......I'm not Ki Bum oppa's girlfriend..........

Kris Anne:Tell unnie that later......Explain yourself first to Xander oppa...........

Me:Why???

Kris Anne:Because everything that he holds........He's throwing it...............

Me:That's weird!!

Kris Anne:It's not weird!! It's scary!! Even Dong Ho is scared............

Me:Where is he??

Kris Anne:I think he's heading home now...........

Me:What?!?! This early?!?!

Kris Anne:Yeah........

Me:Did you saw his car???

Kris Anne:Yeah.....And he's speeding to death...........

Me:Omo!!!!!!

Kris Anne:And.......

Me:And what???

Kris Anne:Xander oppa.............His hand........

Me:What???

Kris Anne:His hand is bleeding..............

Me:Why?!?!?!?! What did he do?!?!

Kris Anne:The story goes like this........After the game......Dong Ho oppa saw Xander oppa going to the men's comfort room........

Me:Then??

Kris Anne:He was really shocked when he saw Xander oppa's hand bleeding......And he saw the mirror full of blood.......So Dong Ho oppa thought that Xander oppa punched the mirror..........Then caused his hand bleeding.........

Me:What's wrong with him?!?

Kris Anne:I don't know either.......

Me:Wait here......

Kris Anne:Okay.........

Me:Unnie Gabbie.......

Gabbie:Hmmmm??

Me:Unnie......Something happened.......And it's an emergency.....

Gabbie:Then what are you still doing here?? You should go now.......

Me:I'll tell everything to you unnie.........I promise!!! (Running)

Gabbie:Okay!! Bye!!

Me:Bye!!!

 

Unnie Gabbie.......Forgive me...........I shouldn't left you all alone there..........I promise....I'll make it up to you...........And it'll be my early Christmas gift for you..........

 

Kris Anne:Let's go......

Me:Okay.....Where could he be?? Do you have his #??

Kris Anne:I have it here.......

Me:Okay....Call him.........

 

Kris Anne is trying to contact Xander oppa.....................But she said that there is no answer coming from the recipient.....

 

Me:No answer?!?

Kris Anne:No....I think his phone is off........

Me:Not good......He shouldn't drive while his hand is injured..........Ah!!!

Kris Anne:What is it??

Me:Monica........

Kris Anne:His younger sister??

Me:Yeah...Let's go and look for her....Maybe she knows where her big brother went......

Kris Anne:Okay.....

 

We went straight to Monica's classroom.....................Room 2-1.................................

 

Me:Monica?!?!?

Monica:Oh?!? Unnie??

Me:Monica.....Where's your oppa??

Monica:He didn't said anything............

Me:I have to find your oppa.....

Monica:Unnie....I'm worried.....His hand is bleeding........And a lot of issues now are spreading......He might be impeached as the Student Council's President..........

Me:Don't worry....Unnie will look for your big brother.........Everything will be okay.......

Kris Anne:Monica......

Monica:Yes unnie.....

Kris Anne:Please do me a favor........If you're going to see Dong Ho oppa......Please tell him that I'm with Shiee.....He doesn't have to worry.......

Monica:Okay unnie^^

Kris Anne:Thank you......

Monica:You're welcome^^

Me:Monica....We need to go now........

Monica:Unnie.....You might need this.....(She gave me a key)

Me:What's this??

Monica:It's my car's key..........You can use it unnie.....

Me:No.....

Monica:If you really want to find oppa......Use my car.......It's fine with me unnie.......

Me:Monica.......

Monica:Go ahead now unnie......Or you're gonna loose him............(Pushing me away)

Me:I don't know what is your car.........

Monica:Black Audi..............

Kris Anne:They are so freaking rich!!

Monica:Unnie!! (Referring to Kris Anne)

Me:Okay.....I'll take care of your car........

Monica:Be careful when you're driving unnie^^ Bye!!! And good luck!!!

Me:Bye!!!

 

We went straight to the parking lot................And it's not hard to look for Monica's car............Because it's reallly standing out among all the cars that are parked...................

 

Kris Anne:This is expensive......So be careful when driving Shiee okay......

Me:I will.............Get in.........

Kris Anne:Okay.......Where shall we go first??

Me:Gelatissimo Cafe'??

Kris Anne:Good idea....It's his kingdom............

Me:Okay...............

 

We reached the ice cream shop around 2:15pm...............And I asked Kris Anne if she could stay inside the car.......And she agreed..........

 

Cashier Lady:Good afternoon ma'am.......

Me:Good afternoon..............Where is he?!?! (Looking around)

Cashier Lady:May I help you ma'am??

Me:I'm looking for a guy.....Who's wearing Seoul Univ. uniform like me........

Cashier Lady:I'm sorry ma'am but we don't have any costumers coming in wearing Seoul Univ.'s unifrom.......

Me:Okay....Thank you......(Went outside)

Kris Anne:So???

Me:He's not there.........

Kris Anne:Hmmmmmm........What about the park??

Me:Let's check it then......

Kris Anne:Okay..........

 

You can easily see some people playing at the park.................But still..............No sign of Xander oppa........I'm getting more nervous now..............Where could he be?? I'm so darn worried now oppa!!! Please!!! Please.....Call or text Kris......I don't know if you're doing okay now..........Your hands are still bleeding............Please.........

It's already 4:30pm.............And we're still stuck inside of Monica'a car..........Driving to nowhere...........

 

Me:Kris.......

 

She's already asleep......................She must be really tired...........I don't know where are we going right now.......And I'm already thinking to give up...............Because of this endless road that we're driving on right now............

We already passed the Han river...........And it's getting dark..........Until someone honked behind our car........As I look at the rear view mirror........I saw......Xander oppa.........

I get out of the car as soon as possible.....................And I can see that he's surprised when he saw me approaching him..........I knocked on his window.......Then he rolled it down...........

 

Xander:What are you doing in my sister's car?? (Cold)

Me:Get down there............

Xander:Answer me first.............

Me:Just get down there!!!!!

 

He gave up and slammed the door........................

 

Xander:Now.....Do you mind answering my question??

Me:Yes........Monica lend me her car to look for you........

Xander:Stupid sister............

Me:Let me see...........

Xander:What do you want to see??

Me:Your hand.......

Xander:There's nothing wrong in my hand....

Me:Let me see............

Xander:Here.....(Giving me his bleeding hand)

Me:You're driving while it's bleeding?!?!

Xander:It doesn't hurt...........

Me:Oh really?? (Tapped his bleeding hand)

Xander:Ouch!!!

Me:See!! You don't have to act so cool!! I know that it really hurts a lot......So don't deny it oppa.....Please........

Xander:I'm sorry.........

Me:What for??

Xander:I shouldn't act so selfishly..........

Me:I don't get it........

Xander:It's me Shiee........

Me:Hmmmmm?? Wait......I saw some medicine kit at your little sister's car............I'll just get it.......

Xander:Su......Sure.......

 

I quietly opened Monica's car cabinet......To get some medicine........To treat Xander oppa's hand............And successfully.....I didn't woke Kris.........

 

Me:Okay.....Let's sit.......

Xander:I want to tell something to you Shiee......

Me:What is it?? (Busy treating his hand)

Xander:Who's with you??

Me:I'm with Kris...............

Xander:And my little sister??

Me:She said she's not coming......

Xander:I see.........

Me:So what do you want to tell me??

Xander:I'm................

Me:You're???

Xander:It's me Shiee...................ALEX.................

Me:WHAT?? (Surprised)

Xander:I'm sorry for keeping it from you.............

Me:You're ALEX?!?! The one...............

Xander:Yes...The one who gave you an ice cream when you're crying sitting on the swing.....(Interrupting)

 

Tears started flowing in my face......................I can't believe that he's the one that I'm looking for all this time............Even though I'm doubting my instincts before..................I still can't believe it..............

 

Me:ALEX?? (Dropped his hand)

Xander:Yes..............

Me:Why???

Xander:I know it's been years since we didn't saw each other...............But I looked for you......And never give up......

Me:ALEX.....(Held his face closer)

Xander:It's me Shiee........It's me........(Held my hands)

Me:I MISSED YOU.........(Sobbing)

Xander:Me too........Don't cry now......(Wiping my tears)

Me:I finally found you.....................

Xander:I should be the one who's saying that........

Me:I didn't know that you'll be back again.........

Xander:I'm keeping my promise Shiee.........Remember??

Me:Yeah.......That you'll protect me......

Xander:Good^^ So don't cry now okay.........

Me:Okay.....But can you tell me why did you punched the mirror??

Xander:Ahhh....That one huh........

Me:Yes........

Xander:I was jealous..........Really jealous..........

Me:With Ki Bum oppa right??

Xander:Yes...........

Me:You don't have to............

Xander:Why??

Me:Because I'm not his real girlfriend.............It's just Soo Hyun oppa's consequences...............

Xander:For real??

Me:For real...........

Xander:But do you know how much it hurts when you said "I LOVE YOU KI BUM OPPA!!" to many people........

Me:I have to do that because of Soo Hyun oppa..............I know that I have to apologize to you.......

Xander:No need.....(Pulled and hugged me)

Me:Oh......

Xander:As long as you are here...............I'm okay......I don't care even I loose a lot of blood.......

Me:Stop joking okay........

Xander:I'm not joking Shiee.......I'm serious........

Me:Ah.............(Speechless)

 

I'm in the state of shock that time.........My whole body is paralyzed again.......I can't move it.........
