Its Been A Long Time .
I Miss YouI lay on my stomach as i switch on the laptop . Its been a long time since i had a time on my own ever since i move back here , Seoul .
I'm Park _______ . I'm half Korean and half American . Makes me a .. Korican . Haha , ok . Well , i just moved back here a few weeks ago to continue my studies . I'm currently studying at Seoul Arts University . Imagine , an 18 year old female living alone , no one by her side . I have to live indepandently . Well do i have a choice ? Actually , i do .
My Umma's bestfriend , Mrs Lee lives here too . She did invite me to live with her but i decline right away . Why ? Two reason .
One , I don't wanna be a burden to her .
And two , she has a son , Lee Minhyuk
He's the same age as me .. And i think it'll be awkward if i stay with them . We kinda have a history back then . We were close , and i have these .. 'Feelings' for him . But whatever , i don't wanna bring it up . So , umma sugest at least to drop by and say hi to them. I groan at the thoughts of meeting him again . Suddenly my phone rings , signalling a new incoming call . I grap it from the table and answer it .
"Yeoboseoyo ?"
"________-ah ?"
"Ah , neh . Who is this ?"
"Its me , Minhyuk ."
My eyes widen as i got up from my position .
"Lee Minhyuk ?"
"Haha ~ Thats me ."
"Where did you get my number ?"
I ask , trying to sound normal . But trust me , its not . Its not normal to talk to a guy you once had a thing for after so many years .
"Omoni gave it to me , I just wanna say hi and i miss you ."
I swear , at the moment , i felt like killing my umma . 'Damn umma ,why do you trust people so easily' i thought as i awkwardly laugh at his last sentence .
"Haha ~ Me too ."
Gosh , this is awkward .
"I was wondering , are you free now ?"
"Eh , uh .. Kinda , Wae ?"
"Lets catch up ... Again ."
"W-what ?"
"Ani .. its been a long time . Lets meet up . I miss you ."
"Uh , sure . Where ?"
"Remember the park we used to hang out together ?"
"Of course i do ."
"See you at 12 ?"
I look at the clock on the wall , 11.30 . I gasp as i got up from bed . How the hell am i suppose to be ready by 30 minutes ? I'm a female for goodness sake . Its impossibe .
"Sure"
Ok that didn't come out right . I mentally slap myself .
"Great see you ~"
With that i hung up and throw my phone on the bed as i run to the bathroom . I undress myself as i let the warm water flow on my milky skin . I sigh as i remember those time we use to spent together
FLASHBACK
We were just 6 years old back then . Young and innocent . We were sitting at our usual spot at the park , the bench .
"Minhyuk-ah ~"
"Ye ?"
"Do you like me ?"
"Ani .. I love you ~"
"Chincha ? Me too ~"
FLASHBACK ENDS
I laugh as i turn off the water and walk out the bathroom , to the closet . I put on some casual outfit , tie my hair up into a high ponytail , put on some natural make up and leave my apartment . Since the park isn't far from where i'm staying , i decide to walk . I smile as i look at the beautiful scenery . My smile got wider as i spot a familiar park not far from where i am . I fasten my speed as i enter the park . 'Nothing change here' i thought as i make my way to the bench where we always chill . I sit on it as i look around , smiling .
"Park ______?"
I look up at the guy standing infront me , recognize the baby face , i stood up .
"Lee Minhyuk ?"
"I miss you ."
He said as he pull me in for a hug . I slowly wrap my hands around his waist . We pull away as we look at each other , studying each others face .
"You've becoming prettier _____."
"Hahaha ~ aniya . Gomawo ."
We sit down at the bench as we stare at the kids playing around at the park .
“I knew you’ll be waiting here .”
“Haha ~ Where else would I be ..”
“You did not change at all .”
I look at him as I blink my eyes , not getting what he’s trying to say . He chuckle as he flick my forehead , like the old times .
“Yah ! That hurts .”
“And then you’ll be slapping my arms ..”
He’s right , I slap his arms playfully . Its kind off a routine for us . I would blink my eyes , he would flick my forehead , I would shout at him and slap his arms and he would just laugh .. Like how he is now . Except now I’m joining in . We laugh as talk and catch up like the old times . He talk about how much his family misses me and I talk about how I ended up moving back here . It’s a good thing I meet him . Its not that bad as I expect it to be . Suddenly he stood up and grab my hands .
“Kaja .”
“Where ?”
He pull me up and continue walking , ignoring my question . He did not change at all .
“Yah ! Lee Minhyuk .”
“Wait and see .”
I look at our hands , making contact . I blush as I look away . Suddenly , he stop his trace making me bump into him . I look around as my lips curve upwards into a smile . Its the ice cream shop where we’ll always go after playing around at the park .
“I miss this place so much .”
“Haha ~ Its been a long time since I step here .”
I look at him as he smile to himself .
“Ever since you left , I never been here .”
My heart beats rapidly as he smiles at me and pulls me in .
“The usual ?”
“Hahah ~ Lets see if you still remember .”
He laughs and ask me to take a sit by the window . I sit and wait for him . And my ice cream ~ I look at his back figure . He grown up so much . He’s even taller than me now . I laugh to myself when I remember those time when we’re the same height . Suddenly he sits opposite me as he pass my the ice cream . I smile .
“You remember , my favourite .”
“Of course I do . Cookies and cream ~”
“And yours is … Chocolate !”
“Haha ~ correct ! Lets dig in .”
He laugh when he realize I’m already my ice cream . I stuck my tongue at him as I continue eating it . Suddenly , he shove his ice cream in front me .
“You want some ?”
“Hmm ~ Sure .”
I some of his as I smile , making my eyes turn into a cresent shape . We just did an indirect kiss .
“Your eyesmiles are appearing again . Haha ~”
“Haha ~ You want some of mine ?”
“I thought you never ask .”
I shove it infront of him as he like countless time . I shook my head as he his lips .
“Yum ~”
We laugh at each other and continue eating the ice cream . Suddenly, silence take over the place . I look at him as I realize his eyes on me . We eye contact for a few minutes and look away blushing . ‘What was that ?’ I look at the time on my phone and gasp when I remember I still haven’t complete my homework yet . I shove all the ice cream in my mouth as I stand up .
“Minhyuk-ah . I got to go . I have some homework I have to complete .”
He shove the whole ice cream in his mouth as he stood up . I laugh at his dorkiness .
“I’ll sent you home then.”
“No its okay ..”
He ignore me and pull me out of the shop . I smile to myself . ‘He always get what he wants’ We walk together , side by side , still holding hands . Comfortable silence taking over the atmosphere .
“_______-ah .”
“Neh ?”
“Do you have feelings for me last time ?”
I look at him , startled by the sudden question .
“Why are you asking this ?”
“Why can’t I ?”
I sigh , defeated as I stop walking and look at him deeply in the eyes .
"Promise me you won't laugh ?"
"I promise .."
Here goes , I inhale a huge amount of air and face him .
“I do .. I love you more than a friend ... You ?”
He smile as he take a step , closing the gap between us .
“Me too . I love you . Back then .. And now .”
I smile at his confession as he cup my cheeks and lean forward , crushing his lips on mine . Those lips that I’ve been dying to taste . Its now mine . And only mine . I smile into the kiss as i wrap an arm around his neck as he slowly wrap his arm around my waist bringing us closer . We pull away as we pant for air . We stare into each others eyes , full of love .
“Park ______.”
“Hmm ?”
“Be mine ?”
I laugh at his cheesy confession and knock his head . He groan in pain as he look at me . I peck his cheeks and flash him my eye smile .
“Does that answer you question ?”
“Yes ."
With that he crush his lips on mine once again , but this time . We both know that now i'm officially his and he's officially mine .
