He stared at his watch for the hundred times already and sighed,his train not gonna come till 45 minutes and his stomach can’t take it anymore

“I forgot to bring my lunch box” he ruffled his hair and sighed,he turned his head and saw the ramen stall close to his train’s gate

He walked towards the ramen stall and sat on the corner seat

“1 ramen,please” he said

“Okay” the old man nodded and with the speed of light served it

“Your ramen”

“Thanks sir”

He nodded and served the other costumer,he stared at his ramen and started to eat it

“Do you have any problem?you looked..” that old man brought him back

“What?”

“You looked..”

“Ah..I’m fine” he cut him off

“Okay” he smiled

“Hello sir” someone greeted the old man

“Hello,how are you?”

“Much much better than before,I wanna tell you something but 1 ramen first”

“Hahahahaha okay”

He ate his ramen in silence while keep staring at his watch

“Thank you . Uuumm so I turned off the marriage thingy and I’m really glad that the girl is not really agree with the marriage”

“Oh really?congratulations!!”

“Thank you so much for your advice. I really love my girlfriend and she will be my wife not that stranger girl”

He already finished his ramen but he still sat on his seat,he wanted to know what happened to this man beside him. He drank his water slowly.

“Thank you for the ramen and goodbye,I’m going to meet my girl” he left the money and waved at the old man

“Goodbye and be careful” he said

He startled and started to gathered his stuff and took out the money

“Young man,you looked stress” his voice made him froze

“Yes I am” he said

“What’s your name?”

“Myungsoo sir”

“You can tell me everything,maybe I can help you”

Myungsoo stared at the old man and sighed

“It’s about marriage things”

“What happened with parents these days?” the old man laughed and shook his head while Myungsoo just biting his lips nervously

“They want me to marry this girl”

“Do you like her?”

“No”

“So why did you say yes?”

“What should I do then?”

“Say no”

“But I can’t”

“Why not?”

“They’re my parents”

“Yes they are but you have to marry the one that you love not a stranger”

“That’s right” he whispered

“So?”

“I don’t know...”

“Marriage is a special thing,you can’t just marry a stranger moreover if you have the one that you love already”

“Yeah..” he checked his watch and stood up

 “I have to go now” he handed him the money

“Thanks for your advice” he said

“I’m just helping”

“Goodbye and by the way,I didn’t have someone special”

“See you soon” that old man smiled widely and Myungsoo left the stall then ran towards his train.

**********************************

He opened his glasses case and took a ring from it,he stared at the ring then sighed.

“Should I....” he stopped,he saw someone else wearing that ring freely on the train and he’s jealous

That purpleish ring is the symbol that made by some great people,that ring is a symbol for a gay people that free and happy with their condition,for a brave people not for the coward one.

He closed that case and sighed while stared at the outside of the train

“I’m not ready yet..” he took out his phone and stared at the date

’August 16th 2011’

He’s still hold that case but he doesn’t have any courage to put that ring on his middle finger.

“That’s why he left me...” he said

His mind went back to 1 year ago when he’s still with Dongwoo,his ex boyfriend. Dongwoo is his friend at the high school,they met each other when Myungsoo get into trouble with some bully and Dongwoo save him. He’s like a knight that brightened up his life for the first time after he live for 15 years old. They become a bestfriend,they’re really close till that rumour spread around the school.

*FLASHBACK*

“I don’t understand!why did people saying that to you?aiisshh” Myungsoo ruffled his hair

“Hahahahaha I don’t know” he laugh nervously

“Are you okay?” Myungsoo leaned closer

“Look..look at this ring..” he said

Myungsoo stared at that purple ring,it’s beautiful and mysterious too. Dongwoo love to wear a lot of ring and like always,all of his ring looked mysterious and magical.

“It’s beautiful” he said

“You don’t understand”

“What?” Myungsoo asked him

“Did you really doesn’t know the meaning of this ring?”

“No?” Myungsoo tilted his head

“This is a symbol for a gay people. This ring made by and for a brave people that brave enough to show the world that they’re different” Dongwoo smiled at Myungsoo

Myungsoo widened his eyes and pulled away from Dongwoo

“Yo-you’re gay?”

“Yeah” Dongwoo shrugged

Myungsoo stared awkwardly at Dongwoo and Dongwoo sighed

“I know that maybe you’re gonna freak out but this is me”

Myungsoo didn’t know what to do to say,he just stared at Dongwoo and hold his breath when Dongwoo leaned closer and kissed his forehead

“I like you but I think you’re straight,hahahahahaha” Dongwoo laughed

Myungsoo pulled Dongwoo close to him and kissed his nose

“I don’t know,you tell me” he said

And Dongwoo kissed his lips gently

“I love you” he said

“I love you too” Myungsoo smiled at him

Their relationship full of problem,tears,rage and beautiful things but 1 year ago,Dongwoo can’t take it anymore.

“Put this ring on so your family know that you’re not going to marry that girl!” Dongwoo yelled at him

“You don’t understand” Myungsoo yelled at him

“Yes,I don’t understand why did you this coward to show the world that you’re different!” Dongwoo pushed him away and walked towards his room

“What are you doing?” Myungsoo hissed

“Leaving,I bet you’re shame to be with me just like you shame to put that ring on your finger”

“No!I love you,please don’t do this to me!!” Myungsoo tried to hug him but Dongwoo pushed him away

“This is always be our first problem,did you realise it?” Dongwoo whispered and with that he left the apartement,their apartement.

*END OF FLASHBACK*

*****************************************

“Dad,I want you to understand..”

*slaps*

“What did you say?say it again,one more time!”

“DAD,I’M GAY!” Myungsoo yelled at his father,caused his mother to passed out

“YOU’RE NOT MY SON ANYMORE!” he pushed him away and hugged his wife that passed out,she fell to the ground

“I’m sorry” he said then he bowed to the girl’s family

“I’m sorry” he said one more time and the other just nodded awkwardly

He took his luggage and left the house with the tears rolled down to his face,he stopped the cab.

“Train station” he said

He tried to stop the tears that rolled down to his face but what his father said to him is break his heart into pieces,he looked down and ruffled his hair

“I’m doing it for my and her own good but I’m sorry mom and dad” he thought

Myungsoo sit on his seat and took out his phone,he stared at the date

‘August 26th 2011’

“And I’m still doesn’t have any courage to put it on my finger”

He looked down and Dongwoo’s voice filled his head

“This is always be our first problem,did you realise it?”

He stared blankly at the outside of the train,it’s dark already but it made him relax. His eyes felt so heavy all of sudden and he shut his eyes.

“Sir..” someone shook his body and he opened his eyes

“We’re already arrived”

“Oh yeah..” Myungsoo scratched his neck and he stood up

That ring fall to the ground and Myungsoo froze,the security just stared at him blankly

“Is that yours,sir?”

“No” he said then he walk out from the train

He hugged his luggage tightly while holding his tears

“My bestfriend bought it for me and I just left it like that..” he took a deep breath and started to calm himself.

Myungsoo saw that ramen stall and without any words he walked towards the stall and sat on his seat before,no one greeted him and the place is already empty. He checked his phone and it’s already 1.30 AM,he sighed then stood up but suddenly someone greeted him

“Sir?”

Myungsoo turned his head and saw a tall man greeted him

“Uuumm..where’s the old man?” Myungsoo asked him

“He’s sick so today I’m the one that run this place” he smiled widely and Myungsoo’s heart skips a beat

“1 ramen,please”

He nodded and Myungsoo sat on his seat while keep stared at that man

“He’s beautiful” he thought

“This is your ramen,sir” he handed him the ramen and Myungsoo saw it. That purple ring circled his long middle finger and with the speed of light that man pulled his hand then blushed

“Don’t judge...”

“I love your ring” Myungsoo cut him off

“This is..”

“I know that ring and I would buy it tomorrow because I left mine at somewhere” Myungsoo smiled at him

He blushed and nodded

“What’s your name?”

“Sungyeol,what about you?”

“Myungsoo”

“Nice to meet you,Myungsoo”

“Nice to meet you too,Sungyeol”
