Yong Hwa

For other girls that I have been with, I never cared when they cry. I always run from girls like that, wailing and tears are the two things I hate the most. But this girl, this Park Shin Hye, made me realize something. Not all girls cry to ask for my sympathy and attention. I feel that Shin Hye wouldn’t want any one of those.

The place is amazing; the house is surrounded by glass walls with an outdoor pool overlooking the Han River and an expectacular rooftop garden – the one that I’ve always dreamed of.
