CHAPTER 3


SJK POV


"Song jong ki, good morning how are you? today?" ask my friend jin goo


"..."


"jong ki,why don't you stop it?you will faint if you keep on going like that"


"...jin goo please shut up" i didn't mean to come out with such words but i really am out of myself,my head hurt like hell


"ya,i am worried for you,shouldn't you rest? why did you drink yesterday?"


"they where clients if i refused to drink,we would have lost them"


"still you are too much,you had a fever yesterday and i think today it's worsening"


"it's not,by the way did you find a solution for my problem?"


"sigh,dae!" my friend jin goo throw a little box towards me


"what is it?"


"can't you tell? a ring,put it on and everything will be alright" gosh,i can't belive it,he came up with such a stupid thing that i am speachless


"i am the owner of this company if i must have a ring i must have a girl too,only a ring won't be enough"


"then find one! what do you want from em? i already did all i could,the rest is up to you,if you don't want to wear it then think of something else! i am tiresd to run all over the place for an ungrateful brat like you" aish why am i like this


"jin goo,wait"i stopped him before he started to walk away


"i am sorry,i shouldn't have said such things i am just too...tired and-hu-" suddenly i feel dizzy and then everything became blank. The next thing i know of is me being in a hospital


"don't worry sir,i will call the doctor right now" i hear voices


"thanks,please,call a good one" one of the voices it's from jin goo,he is talking with a nurse it seem,i try to get up but my head hurt like hell,i can't do anything but close my eyes. When suddenly i heard that same nurse calling a doctor,well t's just normal since it's a hospital,but what i heard next made me curious



"doctor song!" doctor song...they will call her like that isn't that so?doctor song...if she was here...


"dae?" my closed eyes suddenly open up,that voice...i can't be mistaken


"there is someone who want to ask you some informations"


"ok,i am coming" that's surely her voice,but i want to make sure,so i get up from the hospital bed and head toward the doctor


"maybe it's him" she say looking at jing goo


As i get closer i see her standing right in front of me. Before going to jin goo she look at something she has in her hand,but i can't see it from here. Suddenly something fell down.


"omo,no,no,no,where are you going!" she run following the little thing,that in the end came towards me. I get down and take it from the ground,i was shocked when i saw what it was...a ring.


"omo,thanks,i almost-" she was about to thank me,but after she saw my face, song hye kyo became silent


"...song jong ki?" i was shocked,it really was her. Song hye kyo was the same yet different. She was really pretty more than before, she became more beautiful,her hair were longer than before,she changed color too,black hair,she also has make up on. With that doctor gown she seemed another person,like a professional,it really suit her.
Hye kyo...wasn't hye kyo anymore.


"song hye kyo?" i called her name as surprised as i was, she remained speachless


"are you really...song hye kyo?"


"...o dae" she answered me,but i could tell she was feeling unconfortable. Hye kyo looked down,i don't know what she was looking at,but her expression suddenly changed.


"song hye kyo...it's been awhile" i ask


"he-he-he...dae,really" she answered but not even once she looked me in the eyes


"how are you?" i asked again


"i am fine,thanks...what about you?"


"i am fine too..." i am not fine not at all,i wanted to say,she looked at her ring and i couldn't help but ask


"is that, your ring?"


"dae" i can't belive it


"...so,you are married?"i aked a second time


"dae,i am" she answered at me with a smile and i really can't stand it


"...i see...is he here?" who is that guy? the one she married


"no,he is from huston,we married there" it can't be true


"withouth your parents?they never said anything"  how can you marry someone else


"we just had a little ceremony,his parents where abroad too,we were rushing things. Later we will have the real wedding" i felt like an idiot,she really made herself another life in the end...i am not going to congratulate to her not at all,not after what she did.


Hye kyo became serious,she does that expression when she want to get out of an unpleasant situation...so in the end i am an unpleasant person to you song hye kyo. Few seconds later she say


 "so,that's all...i have to go,i have a patient...bye"  she then turned around and walked away,withouth looking back even once,just like that that time.


SJK POV


I still remember that day,the day i felt like a bastard.


"hey,we usually go on the ferris wheel at the end,why didn't you want to go there today?"


"well,i don't feel like going there,i don't like it anymore"


"what? i can't belive it! did i forget something again?why don't you like that anymore? you made me go crazy if i didn't bring you there!"


"mmm,something did happen and yes...you have forgotten it" she kept on smiling and i didn't know yet what was in her mind...


"what did i forget?something bad happened right?did someone hurt you?" she looked at me with such sad eyes while i asked the reason of why she wouldn't ride the ferris wheel anymore,the asnwer made everything clear.


"you confessed" i was shocked,my heart felt a pang of guilt


"h-hu?" i didn't have any idea of what to say,i could only stutter such things


"you confessed,just there,in that ferris wheel" she repeated it again


"..."i looked down"so i...confessed there?"


"...dae,that's where everything started"


"...that day,you asked me to come no matter what,with no friends or the likes only the two of us"


"...hye kyo i-"i tought that maybe she brought me there because she wanted me to remember her again,maybe to confess to me, i was ready to reject her,but what she said soon after made my heart breack


"don't worry i am not here to confess to you or to make you remember that time,i know that you love someone else,i just came here,because i want to give to us an end" i got my answer quicly as if she was reading my mind



"hu?" i was confused and every word she said after that sentence was even worse


"you have put the past aside and started all over again with someone else,you forgot and i...i want to forget too,that's why i brought you here" she brought me here,because she wanted to forget me


"i just think it's best like this,end our story...where it started"  she looked at the ferris wheel and then at me...i couldn't help bust ask


"what do you mean? song hye kyo-"


"let's be just good friends,from now on... good friends" she only said to remain good friends.


"i have to go...it's time for bed" she get up from the bench and walk away


"wait-" i didn't know why i wanted to stop her


"i can't wait jong ki,it's late already...my mother will scold me to no end because i forgot my house keys,so bye" but she didn't stop


"wait-"


"you can stay a little longer,i will go first" that's what she said before finally walking away. I didn't call anymore,not once i just couldn't even look at her back as she was going away,but i felt really bad for her,i wonder just how much i have hurt her.


That night i couldn't sleep at all,my girllfriend called me asking to go on a date the next and i said yes. Thinking back,after the talk i had with hye kyo, talking of dates with my girlfriend became strange because i felt really bad.Fate wanted that in that day,i decided to see song hye kyo and apologize,i tought to go there after bringing my girlfriend home after the date,but i wanted to call my friend


"hey,where are you?"


"i just came back from hye kyo's house"


"hye kyo's house?"


"dae"


"really?i was about to go too"


"she isn't here anymore"


"where is she then?"


"she left"


"where?"what i heard later was like a punch in the face


"Huston"


"w-where?"


"huston...she left" i run to her house withouth even taking my girlfriend home,i couldn't think of anything else,i just run like mad,i felt like blood was in my mouth. When i arrived i knocked the door of her house like no tomorrow,her parents opened.


"song jong ki?"


"pant,pant,pant,hye kyo,pant,pant,where is she?" i asked as i was sweating


"...she left" even her parents made me face the truth.Her room was like the usual,same bed,same red sheets,she like that color a lot,But on the little table near the window,her computer disappeared,her clothes,everything...the room,was empty. After taking a good look at the room, on the floor i found messed picture,i opened it and saw what it was about...me and hye kyo...in the pictures we were hugging like a couple and in the corner of the right side there was a sentence


"i love you song hye kyo" it was my calligraphy i am not mistaken. It was a picture of us and she threw it away. I took that picture with me,putting it in my pocket,i left the house in a hurry.I took my phone and tryed to call her,but she never picked up


"didn't you say you where my friend? didn't you say you will be by my side?...so where did you go now now that i need you?!" suddenly i hear voice from behind


"what the hell did you expect you bastard" it was baek ho,the one i talked to before


"you...why didn't you tell me?" i was mad really mad and he didn't help at all


"because i didn't want to"


"what?"


"what would you have done if i told you?"


"i would have made her stay,i wouldn't have let her go away!"


"tsk...such a bastard,i can't stand you"


"what?"


"you hurt her enough already don't you think?"


"making her stay?what's wrong with that!"


"why the hell do you want her to stay?!you don't love her,you forgot her and started anew with another girl and dated right in front of her eyes! you never had the decency to think at what you where doing to her!"


His words,hit me like a bullet,that's true i never spent a little time, thinking about her fellings,not once i tought she would be hurt.I asked at first if she was ok with us being friends and she said,that it was okay,that us being friends was good,that's why i belived her,but i was an idiot.


"she was suffering all the time,we were worried for her a lot. We liked the two of you together and were truly happy when you guys told us about the marriage...truth to be told,i like her,i always did, but backed down because i tought you would make her happy,even when you forgot her,i belived you would remember,but instead...you...hurt her. Do you know what hurt me even more?she never cried" he said all mad and sad,tears started to fall from his eyes


"she never cried,not even once,hye kyo,only smiled,but i knew she was suffering a lot...you forgot this too right? when she is like that it's as if she was crying from a week"


That time i remembered,while telling me that,she smiled all the time,she put a smile on her face.


"she was always there for you,but you...instead...went and found another girl? now tell me, why would i let the girl i like see a bastard like you again?...HU!?" I was speachless.


A month later.


After that time i couldn't stop thinking about her,about her eyes and the day she left


"In the end, you just  wanted to tell me good bye..." i am in my room with the picture she threw away in my hand,thinking of how stupid i was, thinking how to make it up to her. I realized just how much important she was to me only after she left. I broke up with my girlfriend a week after hye kyo went away and even if i tried to, i couldn't think of being with another girl. For the past five years she never came back, i went to he house sometimes and she already spoke with her parents with the computer,because when i was going they put her off. I always arrived late. Oping not to think about her i spent all the time working and it worked till now,when i saw her,with a ring on her finger. No matter what i will never congratulate to her. I felt hye kyo cold,a stranger,she never asked anything to me,not even why i am wearing a ring,in the end she doesn't care anymore.
