-Shu, can you give me the phone number of the florist shop that Miyeon works with?

Shuhua looked at Hui standing at her bedroom door

-What did you do this time?

-Soojin is sooo jealous, she can't see me talking to a different girl that she already thinks I'm cheating on

Shuhua just crossed her arms

-I wasn't, this time ...

-I don't know why she hasn't dump you yet

-Because she loves me

Shuhua rolled her eyes but took out her cell phone and sent the phone to Hui

-One day she will dump you Hui

-Me? Impossible, where would she find anyone better than me? And besides, you know that I'm going to move out of this city soon so why not have a little fun

Hui leaves laughing and Shuhua rolled her eyes, Hui could be an when he wanted to, he was not her first option to share an apartment but she was unemployed at the time and the money her parents sent was not enough to pay all the bills so she had to get someone to share the rent. Hui was not a bad roommate, he paid his part on time but the rotation of girls who frequented his room was alarming, mainly due to the fact that he had a girlfriend, Seo Soojin, their relationship was far from perfect and Shuhua had already heard more discussions of them than she would like but he always convinced Soojin to forgive him, making a thousand promises that Shuhua knew he would not keep, which was a shame because Shuhua thought Soojin was extremely fun and beautiful, they always hang out together when the Korean came to visit Hui and they went out to dinner and clubs together with a certain frequency, Hui claimed it was for Shuhua not to be alone but she knew her roommate, he took her to keep Soojin company while he flirted with other girls, Soojin was a nice girl and always made her feel comfortable and she certainly didn't deserve the things that Hui did to her, she just hoped that when Hui moved out Soojin would give up this idea of a long-distance relationship

Shuhua arrived from college and sighed, thankfully it was her break from work, she went into the house and found Hui in the room with two bouquets of flowers

-What is going on?

-I bought the flowers for Soojin but I need your help to write something romantic for her

-But why do you have two bouquets?

-This other bouquet is for Bongcha

-Bongcha?

-You remember her, blonde, tal

- The one with the hyena laugh?

-She doesn't have a hyena laugh, but yes, her

-I can't believe you want me to write a romantic note for her too

-For Bongcha? No, it's just for Soojin

-I will do it but not for you Hui, because honestly you are an idiot, but because Soojin deserves to be treated well from time to time

Hui did a little dance and looked at the clock

-I'm going to meet Bongcha now, do you think you can write something until the night? I promised to take Soojin to dinner

-One day these girls will find out and I will laugh at your face Hui

Hui just left with the flowers and Shuhua sat on the couch looking at Soojin's bouquet "idiot", she took a shower, ate something and thought about what she would write to Soojin

Dear Soojin, I know I hurt you several times but I ask you to give me one more chance, there is a piece of my heart that aches when I am not around you, it makes me realize just how hurt and lost I would be without you by my side, please give me another chance to make you happy, i know i'm not that good with words so here's a little poem:

Take bread away from me, if you wish,
take air away, but
do not take from me your laughter.
Do not take away the rose,
the lance flower that you pluck,
the water that suddenly
bursts forth in joy,
the sudden wave
of silver born in you.
My struggle is harsh and I come back
with eyes tired
at times from having seen
the unchanging earth,
but when your laughter enters
it rises to the sky seeking me
and it opens for me all
the doors of life.
My love, in the darkest
hour your laughter
opens, and if suddenly
you see my blood staining
the stones of the street,
laugh, because your laughter
will be for my hands
like a fresh sword.
Next to the sea in the autumn,
your laughter must raise
its foamy cascade,
and in the spring, love,
I want your laughter like
the flower I was waiting for,
the blue flower, the rose
of my echoing country.
Laugh at the night,
at the day, at the moon,
laugh at the twisted
streets of the island,
laugh at this clumsy
boy who loves you,
but when I open
my eyes and close them,
when my steps go,
when my steps return,
deny me bread, air,
light, spring,
but never your laughter
for I would die.

Pablo Neruda

Forever yours, Hui

Shuhua finished the note and put Soojin's flowers together, she spent the rest of the night watching drama and had to fight with Hui before he left to rewrite the note "She will notice that the letter is different"

--/--

A few days later she came home from work tired, her whole body ached, she went into the house and was startled to see Soojin
