Chapter 16: Mission #3
The Heart Never ForgetsYour insides was as busy as a factory after knowing the machines have malfunction.
Busy busy running around everywhere.
Your heart, you didn't notice if it was beating anymore.
You still had many plans on your agenda.
Mostly to recover past memories and bury them, how can he know so quickly.
He was still staring at you,
"No.." You gave a fake chuckle, "Why would you think of that? "
You attacked the fried pancakes to act normal.
"Daehyun ah.. " your heart mourned as you chewed.
It doesn't matter if the fried pancakes taste good anymore. It just feels bland,
He pursed his lips and proceed to finish the noodles.
This was a side you have never seen before.
He had always acted like a child and want to know the truth, basically everything.
You stared at the top of his head, "Why are you making me so hard to leave you..." you thought.
The remaining time of eating, everything was silent.
He was probably doing something you're afraid of, Thinking.
You fumbled for your phone and pretended you looked busy.
When you was just staring at your reflection.
Was this a bad idea?
You can't regret.. You have walked thus far...
He suddenly stood up. He walked towards the Ahjumma and made payment.
She gave a smile in your direction and you gave a warm smile back.
That was probably one of the first few genuine smiles today, you really will miss her.
He didn't bother to call for you, he just walked out.
You knit your brows into a tight knot.
Is he angry?
You cautiously followed behind him.
You were also memorizing the back view of him.
Your mind was busy with thoughts.
The wind blew but it felt stale.
Suddenly he stopped walking, he shoved his hands into his pockets.
You stood rooted at your position.
He's mad.. He knows it already.. Your head dropped.
Tears was forming already, spilling over the edge of your eyes and dropping vertically down and making a splash as it touches the road.
You chewed your lips to cover any noise.
You swallowed your saliva and ran off in the other direction,
"Just stay mad at me, please. Hate me for being childish, hate me for being selfish. Hate me so it'll be easier to leave you.."
You mind rang these words repeatedly,
You didn't know how long you have cried.
Or where you were actually..
This was hard, so so hard.
How did you imagine yourself going through all the plans today..
You still wanted to bring him to the beach when you both first sleep under the stars together.
The park when you first held hands.
The first movie you were held in his arms, with him whispering sweet words to imitate the actor.
The first dance he asked you out.
The restaurant that both of you had been to for exactly seven times.
The benches behind the mall when he first sang to you.
The rooftop when both of you created dreams together.
You muttered, "I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I really have to do this... "
You whispered, "A true man, never compromises work for the woman he loves, the family he cares," you recalled his words.
" But a true woman, should never stand in the way of the man she loves for him to fulfill his dreams...."
You gulped, " Even when it means leaving him... "
