"I'm your fan. " he grinned. 

You didn't know whether to laugh.. or.. well.. laugh. 
Jolly Daehyun is back. 

Or... he has never left? 

You smiled and did a small nod, 
"Thankyou. " 

"You should have a fan name! " 

You giggled. 

" I don't need fans.. " 

He feigned a shocked face, " HEYYYYY! " 

You giggled. 

" Maybe.. I'll call them.. " 

"BJY! " he exclaimed

You looked at him with a straight face.
"You.. wanna be called that? " 

He thought for a while.. " I wanna be called handsome. " 

"Aish.. YAH JUNG DAEHYUN! " You pretended to smack him and he pretended to dodge.. 

Your heart says otherwise. 

" Thank you, " thats what your heart says. 
It feels sour, as you added the next line in your mind, " Jaki. " 



Both of you had finished the steak. 


The plates were cleared, glasses were filled. 

Awkward moment was here again. 

"Do.. you have anything to ask me? " you asked a llttle awkwardly. 

He looks a little surprised. 
He thought. 

"Why... " 
Your heart feels tensed. 
That million dollar question,.. He's asking you right? 
Oh dear.. 
Your heart is pumping so so so hard. 



" Why did you want that sweater I wore that day? " 

Huh? 

Sweater? 

Wait.. he's not curious about... 

Well.. 



" The sweater? " 
He nodded. 

His face seems to say that he hope he don't need to explain.. 
You gave a sigh. 


" Is.. there anything else you want to know? " 

He thought for a while.. 

" Do you.. " 

Is he going to ask you if you still have feelings for him? 
Panic mode on, Ji Yeon. 
Damn.. A white lie or truth? 

" Do you have friends in Australia? " 

You stared at him, dumbfounded. 



"Huh? " 



He blinked at you as if it was the most normal question ever. 


"Friends? I wondered if you're lonely there.. " 

You blinked your eyes and grinned. 


" I do. Really nice ones" you jokingly added, " I'm not that anti-social. " 

He grinned, " You never know, you only hang out with us. " 



You smiled. 

You gave a soft sigh. 

" That sweater." you started off. 

Should you tell him?

"I got that sweater for you, do you remember? " you looked at him and he nodded in response. 
How could he ever forget? 
Well.. he may. 
A possibility. 

" It was my first gift for that I used the money I earned from work to buy. " 
It was a gift of my sweat and hardwork. 

You wanted it back. 
You felt it was insufficient to be with him. 
Like how you feel you're not good enough with him. 

It was also the last thing you could use to remember Daehyun. 
He wore it often to dance, 
His sweat was there too. 

His scent.. 
The one you've missed so badly for two years. 

You took a sip of water. 

Should you continue? 


" There was one time.. " You started your story. 
" I was working.. And an old man walked in. " 

You were staring at the white spot of the table cloth. No eye contact with Daehyun. 

"He asked me if I know anywhere that can fix up a sweater. " 
You felt a growing lump in your throat. 

"That sweater was torn, and dirty. It was basically.. un-wearable. " 

You paused. 

" So.. I asked him. Why don't you buy a brand new one instead? He... gave me an angry look, .. he soften his expression then he start to tell me the reason. " 
You gave a short glance at Daehyun before continuing. 

"It was the only sweater that his wife had knit for him. " 

You gulped. 

" He says, sweaters are good gifts, especially knitted ones. With every stitch, a piece of memory is knitted onto the sweater. The time taken to knit a sweater could last as long as a month. That's a month worth of memories. Sometimes, there are beautiful memories that brings smile to her face as she knits, these form pretty pattern on the sweater. Sometimes, she may knit with sorrowful feelings and cause her to cry, this stains the sweater with her tears. Sometimes she knits when she's upset with him. This forms tight stitching with her anger. " 

You paused. 

Feelings are riding on the line again. 

You never thought you would ever say this story to him. 

" But.. " your voice trembled. " it was a sweater of love, he told me. Since she has left, it was the only piece of thing that she has left him with. Yet it was something that he could use to remember her. How she smile, was reflected on the sweater. How she cries, is found on the sweater, and how she was when she's angry, is shown on the sweater. " 



You left it hanging. 



You bought that sweater. 
But with money that held the similar emotions as his wife. 

You went to work occasionally happy from Daehyun's messages. 
You went to work occasionally angry at Daehyun's childishness. 
You went to work occasionally sad at how insennsitive Daehyun is. 

The money that bought his sweater had Daehyun in mind. 

You looked at Daehyun, he was rather silent. 

He smiled. 
He.. looks like he's.. about to cry. 
Wait.. 

Are you? 


He smiled, another forced smile. 


" You've never told me this story before. " 

Your heart ached. 

Yes, you used to tell him so much stories. 
When.. 

Both of you were together. 



" I.. I.. didn't tell you because I wanna see how you view this gift. " 
You kept silent for a while. 

" Sometimes, actions of love need not be explained. " you added. 

You bit your lips,... 
You hoped he didn't caught on the other meaning of your words. 

Your action of love was selfish. 
But it was still love. 

You wouldn't forbid him to ask you why you've left. 
But a little of you, hope he will. 
At least, it shows he didn't want to let you go. 


He nodded. 

Daehyun, ... I.. Lo-... 
Do I dare to say? 
Do I dare? 

" I like that story. " 
He said after a while. He his lips. 
So.. dreamy. 

You smiled. 

You sip your water. 

" So.. how are the boys? " 
Hoping a shift of conversation would help. 

He chuckled. 

"Everyone has found their girl except Himchan. " 
You also choked on your water. 

WHAT?! 


Your heart feels a little sour though. 

Except HimChan.. does it means...? 

He mumbled something.. 

" Sorry? " 

He looked up and waved his hands dismissively. 

" All of them? Even.. Zelo!? " 
He chuckled and nodded. 

" I have to meet them! " 

You just realised the intention behind your words. 

" I mean.. you know.. I had always been curious the kind of girl they'll be with.. " 

He nodded, ignoring the other possible meaning of your words. 



He has been rather silent today. 

You noticed, of course you did. 




"Daehyun-ah.. " your mind suddenly remembered. 
" The fans outside just now, they are out there to find out if you guys have girlfriends.. " 

You waited for his expression. 
He knew.. 

"I...I.. won't expose you guys of course, they offered me to," his eyes widen at these words. 
"But I declined them, of course, " you emphasised on the last two words. 
"I still hope that they will be safe. I don't wish anything to happen to you guys. " you muttered softly. 

He smiled, " They know too. " 

"Its my fault. " he added softly. 

He.. doesn't mean that interview led to this right? 

" I had an interview three weeks back.. " 

He... is telling you now? 

He was looking at you. 
Not once leaving his eyes on you. 

" i made a comment. " 

He was taking so painfully slow to talk. 

"That made them possibly react this way. " 

You gave a small sigh of relief. 
He can't possibly say that now. 

You hurriedly tried to end topic, " It's alright. I hope we could have another meet up soon.. " 

You sipped your water. 

I wish to see you again Daehyun.. 
Even if.. 
You've moved on.. 










The waiter came again..

This time you saw your oppa winking at you from the kitchen door. 
This is it. 

He lowered the silver plate and lift up the cover. 

There were ten fortune cookies. 
The waiter left. 

Daehyun stared wide-eyed at you. 

"What's this?"

You smiled. 

" A.. gift I guess? " 

"Fortune cookies ? "

You chuckled. 

" Yeah.. except.. let's go with a different rule shall we? " 

You gave a sigh.. hopefully this will not be as hard as you thought. 

" I need you to pick three fortune cookies. " 
You started to explain. 
" There are ten fortune cookies, and only two have slips of paper that... well.. the remaining eight are like some boring life quotes. But the two slips of paper are.. urms.. you'll know.. " you awkwardly ended

He chuckled, " Are you playing games with me? " 
You grinned, " Just play along. " 

" So.. pick three. " 

He thoughtfully stared at the ten fortune cookies. 

He picked three and laid them on the table. 

"Choose one, to give me. The two with you, you'll pick one and open it up. Read it aloud. " 

He chuckled. 
His hand hovered around the fortune cookies for a while.. 

He picked one, and gave you a look before giving a bite to break off the cookie.

He took out the slip of paper, " Read it.  " you said firmly. 

He gave you a questioning look. 

"I.. " he hesitated. 

"I love you. " 

you could see a faint blush on his cheeks. 

Then it hit you, wait what? 

That wasn't part of the plan. 

You tried to suppress that blushing cheeks of yours, if it was ever possible. 

"Urm.. Funny. That shouldn't be it... Try the other one. " you muttered. 

He nodded and broke off the next cookie. 

"I love the way you smile. " 

He tries to keep a straight face. 

Is he.. Blushing? 

You're blushing too.. Wait.. What is going on??

"Urms... That shouldn't be it either..." 

No... Will he think that you're some thick-skinned girl forcing him to say those words on you? 

You embarrased

You broke your cookie and read your slip of paper. 

"What did it say?? " he asked excitedly. 

Daehyun! Are you having fun to see me blush?!? 

You mumbled, "I.. Love how you sing. " 

He smirked. His smile was so wide... It... It  almost outlined his whole chin

Your whole face was red. Damn red. 

You broke off all the cookies, and so did he. 

"I Missed you. "

"I've never met someone like you. " 

"I think of you everyday. " 

"You're mine! " 

"You're the reason for my smiles. " 

"I would love to kiss you now.. " you hesistated reading this aloud. 

These messages are so inappropriate! Oppa.. must have purposely have these written to tease you. 

Daehyun chuckled, " This is definitely one great gift. " 

You blushed, " Urms.. I should be frank, I didn't plan for the messages to be written this way.. It meant to be.. "

It meant to be words for leaving. 
Words like, 
" I hope you'll have a better life without me. " 
"I never wish to hold you down. " 


And more importantly, the two fortune cookies, suppose to have: 

" 가 (Leave)" 

"가지마 (Do not Leave). " 

Daehyun was suppose to take three cookies each time.. 
And give one to you. 
Either one of you will have the words. 


It was a silly game. 
You still wanted fate to let you know of your decision. 
They say love makes one silly. 

It was probably a silly move. 

But you want to let fate decide if the words, 가 or 가지마 will be leaving his mouth. 

 

Both of you stared at the remaining two cookies. 
It was..
special. 

Initial "DH" and "JY" was carved. 

" Let's take one each? " 

You nodded. 
Heart feeling heavy. 

Both of you took the one with your initial. 

" JiYeon ah. " your heart had stopped when he said your name. 

" Let's switch! " 
He stole your cookie, while grinning, giving you his, with the DH initial. 

Oh well.. what could go wrong?


Both of you chuckled before breaking the cookie off. 

" I still love you.  " 

" I still love you.  " 
 

There we go, the last chapter :D 
I'll try to write more tonight, but if I don't update for a week or two, it'll be update after 2013 has ended. 

Firstly, I wanna thank each and everyone of you out there that contributed to my views stats ;D
Honestly.. it was a one shot. 
It meant to be a one shot. 
I didn't expect such an overwhelming response. 

You guys are seriously the best. 

Secondly, I hope that in the last few days of the 2013 year, you'll all have fun and beautiful memories. 

Let's receive the coming 2014 with a happy heart.
