“Noona, I like you."

 

Ji Hyo stops in her tracks, his confession sobering her up instantaneously. Studying the look on Kwang Soo's face, she tries to find a speckle of humour or dishonesty in his eyes. But it was no where to be found, there was nothing but sincerity. Her heart softens. Somehow, she finds that it’s worse now that she knows that her dongsaeng have been harbouring feelings for her. She feels worse and she doesn’t know why. Her heart pounding at an obnoxious rate. And her quick pulse mixed with worry and soju was not doing her any favour. She was concerned for him and for their friendship. She then turns away, not knowing how to respond. She didn't see this coming. For now, she didn't have the answer, though she caught herself blusing. Ji Hyo looks over at the giraffe, he was already softly snoring, sound asleep.

 

“Lightweight, as always." She whispers to no one.

 

Ji Hyo rests her back on the couch, still couldn't believe that she really had just kissed her dongsaeng, her oh-so clumsy friend. Her Kwang Soo. They crossed the line and there was no turning back. The actress instantly panics at the thoughts filling he head, did she just ruin their years of friendship? Why wasn't she thinking straight?

 

Looking out the window, bright city lights reflects off of her tired eyes, wrestling with her own thoughts. The steady breathing of the man in question lulling her to sleep as she curls up right beside the sleeping giraffe.

 

The tall man opens his eyes slowly and squints at the sudden brightness in the room. Why am I sleeping on the couch? His throat feels unpleasantly partched, he tries to clear it but to no avail. Shifting to his side, he promises never to drink again, knowing full well how empty this promise is. Not until he feels a weight on his arm. What the-

 

Spotting the familiar face close to his, he scrambles as his heart beats erratically, as if to escape from

I should really edit the earlier chapters, shouldn't I? Every time I read them, I can't help but think that I need to edit them to make the flow of the words better, especially for the new readers. I'd hate it if they stop reading half-way through because the first few chapters are iffy. Lol

Chapter 58: "And though it was spring again, the bed didn't feel as warm as she thought it would be." I like how this sentence perfectly encapsulates how she really feels.

Didn't realize I'm already at the end of the story! I will wait for updates ^^ Fighting!

Chapter 56: It's like the World of the Married! I feel so sad for both of them. I feel like it's all just a misunderstanding. Kwang Soo couldn't possibly.. :(

Chapter 58: I guess Dong Wook was there to pick up the pieces after the dissolution of the marriage.

I really enjoyed the way you wrote about Ji Hyo waking up to the sight of a sleeping Dong Wook. It invoked a sense of warmth in the scene's sweetness, and I can feel Ji Hyo's affection for him. Yet, reading further, one gets the impression that Dong Wook is nothing but a replacement. A rebound love. And I find that somewhat sad, and I feel myself pitying the man and rooting for him. NOOooo! LOL.

But I digress. I think deep inside Ji Hyo knows this. Knows that she is treating him as a replacement and is trying to compensate for it. She definitely is trying to convince herself about the rice. To me, the bibimbap scene is an analogy of their relationship. She wants Dong Wook's bibimbap to be like Kwang Soo's. She wants it to be good, she convinces herself it is as good. She wants Dong Wook to be like Kwang Soo. She wants their love to be the same as what she had with Kwang Soo. I found that tragic and heartbreaking.

The last paragraph infuriates me though. I would never answer a loved one's question on whether I loved her by giving her another question, even if her previous statement about meeting her ex surprises me.

"What kind of question is that?" Yeah, Dong Wook. I could ask you the same. It comes from a woman who is insecure, and wants reassurance. An answer like that says a lot about a man. He isn't confident enough in his love for her.

Darn it, I am confused again. And that's a testament on your writing skills! Good job!

Chapter 57: Why? Why? Why? This is very sad! I feel that there is still love between them but because of that misunderstanding.........
I just want them to resolve the misunderstanding all this time.

Can they still be together again? And I want them to get back together!

Chapter 57: Damn! I'm crying yet again! How ironic how life is! Once the person you thought you couldn't live without had suddenly become more than a stranger and that hurts! Aigoo!
