CHAPTER 25

We announced that night to our families and friends about my pregnancy and they were all ecstatic and happy about the news. Particularly my in-laws and Uncle Lee because they said Amber and I are not getting young!

So much to rub in our faces that both of us are nearing our 30s tsss….

But it’s okay I feel this is the perfect time for us to build our family. We are stable and successful enough, there will no be regrets later on.

The best reaction?

It came from… who else?

But Luna!

She was crying when I told her about it. Actually, she came running to the class theater that day after my classes ended while Amber and I were being mushy in front of some of my students. Apparently, a student of mine after coming out of the room went shouting in the hallway announcing my pregnancy. Luna was walking in the hallway that time and was on her way to her office when she heard it that’s why she changed her course and ran to my room entering it with a very excited look on her face.

I know, I love this best friend of mine for real hahaha!

I broke my hug with Amber and showed Luna the test making her cry. We hugged each other and was going to jump around when Amber protested saying I shouldn’t jump, earning a smack on her head from Luna.

The day after that, Luna flew to New York for the biggest date she will ever have.

Yes. She will meet up with Ju-hyun in New York like how it was planned and I can see from her face how nervous and excited she is when Amber and I accompanied her to Incheon before boarding her flight.

She and Ju-hyun has kept in touch through e-mails and video calls. Luna told us that Ju-hyun asked her to stay in her flat the following months she will be there. She stayed there until February, spending Christmas with Ju-hyun. She told me at Christmas Eve that she will be asking Ju-hyun to be her girlfriend by New Year, but it seems Ju-Hyun is much faster than her.

Because the morning after, on Christmas day, Ju-hyun was the one who asked her first.

Luna’s POV

Amber and Krystal sent me off to the airport and stayed with me there while waiting for my boarding time. I’m so nervous oh my God! This is the first time after 2 months that Ju-Hyun and I will see each other again.

“Hey ~~…” Krys cooed at me while we sit on the row of chairs waiting for the announcement of my boarding. She rested her head on my shoulder holding my trembling hand. She giggled and nudged me playfully making me wince.

“Yah! Don’t tease me! Don’t you see I’m nervous here! Where’s that wife of yours?! I need my donuts now!”

“Wow… the great Luna Park is nervous for her first date.. how I wish I could be there to witness it~~…” I pouted at Krys giving her my puppy eye look. I held my best friend’s hands trying to convince her again to come with me.

“Krys~~… Come on… just come with me! I need your help there! I don’t know what to do! What if I do something stupid while we’re together in New York? I don’t know what to do…” she pouted at me too and patted my head like a puppy.

“, I would like to accompany you but my in-laws are here and they will spend the Holidays with us. But we’ll be there to celebrate the Chinese New Year with you and Ju-Hyun plus…” she beamed at me and took her iPhone from her blazer pocket, tapping on it with a smile then shove the screen in my face.

“Yah! Krys!”

“Sorry, hehe… look at this…” it was a text message from Miss Hwang, reading it made me excited and at the same time proud. It was a message telling her that the remains of the Gongzhu and Gongju will be exhibited and shown to the public starting January next year. It will be a special exhibition and will run for 2 weeks at The National Museum of Korea. After that they will be brought to the Smithsonian Institute for another special exhibition that will run for a month through the efforts of the Korean Government and the Song Foundation.

“Omo! Ohhh My GOD!!!!!!” I squealed in joy and the two of us embraced happy about the news.

Our hard work has paid off!

She started to tell me how Amber and Vic’s Grandfather, the elder Song, became the major factor for the Chinese Government to yield and finally say yes to the exhibition. The elder Song assured the officials that he will shoulder the cost of everything including the tomb being built for them.

“So you see… we’ll be there and attend the Gala together with the kids since they are part of our expedition. Ask Ju-hyun about the details because she’ll be handling the marketing of it I’m sure.”

I sighed and broke our hug hearing Ju-Hyun’s name.

I can still vaguely remember how I came to a decision and accept that I really am attracted to Ju-hyun.

Flashback

After Jonghyun’s funeral, I packed my hiking bag and went on a solo trip to Jeju to find myself. I needed it to think and ask myself if I’m really attracted to Ju-hyun.

The whole time that we were together, from the morning we went home from Jeolla til the Prosecutors invited us to give our statements, she didn’t left my side and held my hand. My head was in a jumble that time, Krys told me I shouldn’t be afraid because what we did was self defense. That I did the right thing by shooting Jonghyun because if I didn’t, more blood will be shed definitely.

Actually, I wasn’t afraid about the Prosecutors asking me why I shot Jonghyun. I answered that with full confidence and gave my side without lies. What’s bothering me is Ju-hyun’s proximity to me and how she holds my hands. It brings electricity inside me that makes my stomach do sommersaults.

I was confused when we were in the camp site, I was even more confused when we went home to the city and be interrogated by the authorities. My heart and my mind was having a shouting match because of the feelings threatening to spill from my mouth.

Luna Park is not like this.

Luna Park doesn’t do messy feelings and mushy cuteness overload like a certain married couple that she knows.

Luna Park doesn’t do sleepless nights because of thinking about a certain person that makes her heart beat wildly, like the beats of an EDM music in a Club that goes up and down.

Luna Park likes guys who makes her feel special and do whatever she says then she’ll leave them after she’s done.

Luna Park doesn’t do relationships, it’s just a waste of time, energy, emotions, and money.

Luna Park is not gay, Luna Park is just confused.

That’s what I kept saying to myself while I was in Jeju sitting in a rock while on a cliff overlooking the sea. I turned my phone in flight mode so no text or calls will come through to disturb my moment of denial.

It’s what…. 3 days? 3 days that I kept coming back on that cliff staying there from the first ray of the morning til the last ray of the sun comes down. Just drinking water and eating one whole piece of bread.

On the 4th day that I dragged my out of my bed in a pension house where I stayed, I rode the bicycle I rented at 4:00 in the morning going to the cliff I frequented. It was a beautiful morning, the Sun hasn’t come out and the roosters hasn’t cackled to the top of their lungs to wake up the community. I can smell the freshness of the air surrounding me making my whole being alive.

I arrived safely and sat on my usual spot taking out my thermos of water and fresh bread that I asked the landlady to make for me. I waited for the Sun to peek at the horizon, the orange hues slowly showing.

My heart suddenly asked me, 'Why are you doing this?'

Which my brain answered with, 'Because I wanted to be sure if what I feel is right.'

Then my heart countered with, ‘Feelings are right, logic is wrong. Feelings should be acted and be known not be kept’.

And you know what? For the first time in my life…

My BRAIN decided to listen to my HEART.

My hand like it’s acting from the demands of my heart reached for my cellphone inside my pocket and tapped on the icon turning the Airplane mode OFF. It searched for the name of a very special person and in one tap, it was already ringing and set to speaker mode.

The call connected with just one ring and the voice of the person I have been painstakingly trying to put on the list of persons I shouldn’t fall in love with echoed in the quiet air.

“Luna…”

I don’t know what to say.

“Luna… are you there? Where are you? Krystal told me you went on a solo trip….”

Should I tell her that I went alone because of her?

“Luna… are you listening?”

I heard her audible sigh on the other line and even that made my heart beat wildly. Why are you doing this to me Seo Ju-hyun?

The orange hues in the horizon is so breath taking. Watching it for the 4th time this week always gives me an amazing feeling of being thankful for the life I have.

Wouldn’t it be nice to share this life and this creation I’m witnessing before me with someone I hold special in my heart?

“Luna… is there something bothering you?”

I’m not just bothered girl, I AM SO BOTHERED AND CONFUSE!

She sighed and I heard some crumpling sound on the other line before she spoke again. “Ummm…. I would like to tell you something.”

Should I close this call now or wait for her to tell whatever she wants to say to me?

“I… I decided to go back next week to Los Angeles. “

Oh. You’re leaving.

“And I…uhh…. I’m not really good in this kind of things. You know… I’m Seo Ju-hyun, the depressed girl before who is now ready to face the world with a sincere and happy smile on my face and a positive mindset. Like what you said to me before when we were still in the camp site, I should love myself first before I learn to love other people.”

Hahaha… she still remembers it. Wow…

It became silent and I heard her sigh again. Just how many times did she sigh just now?

“Luna Park Sunyoung you make my heart skip a beat…”

There you go… sigh. I knew it. I knew she will reject me…. bwoah!?

“I like you Luna… I started liking you the moment you talked to me and threatened me that you will skin me alive if I ever go near Krystal and Amber. I said to myself, ‘Wow… this small girl has the guts to tell that to me. Amazing…’..”

I can feel my ears and my face heating up the words she said. She said she like me…

She LIKE ME.

SEO JU-HYUN SAID SHE LIKE ME.

SHE SAID SHE LIKE ME!!!!

OMO…

WHAT SHOULD I DO?!

WHAT SHOULD MY WATER AND BREAD INFUSED MIND TELL HER?!

“I like you… as in, LIKE as someone that I admire. You know…. LIKE as in you make my nerves calm and makes my heart warm whe
