Daehyun POV

I missed her smiles. 
She took a sip of water. 

Okay.. Daehyun, don't get all messed up. 
Remember, she has her oppa. 


" So.. how are the boys? " 
 

She asked suddenly. 
Boys... ? 
I chuckled,  how should I get started? 
All of us are still the same... 
The only update is that... 

"Everyone has found their girl except Himchan. " 

"And me... I haven't found anyone better than you... " I mumbled softly. 
I made sure she can't hear it. 
I didn't want her to hear that. 
I am strong JiYeon, I will accept your decision no matter what. 
But I'll still fight for you. 

" Sorry? " 
Ohwait, did she heard it?
I looked up and waved my hands dismissively. 
Nothing JiYeon, you shouldn't hear this. 

" All of them? Even.. Zelo!? " she exclaimed. 
I chuckled and nodded. 

" I have to meet them! " 

Huh? Why?

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

I nodded.
I understand JiYeon. 
Even without the title as my girlfriend, you are always our JiYeon. 
We are still friends, 
Forever and Always. 


She suddenly spoke after some silence. 

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

She paused. 
She... knows too. 
I hope she didn't know about the video. 
But... she still care about us... 
Since she could have reported us, but she chose to told me.. 
Thankyou JiYeon.

"I...I.. won't expose you guys of course, they offered me to,"
My eyes widen. 
They.. 
Our fans offered a journalist news to expose our relationships?! 
WHAT
"But I declined them, of course, " she emphasised on the last two words. 
"I still hope that they will be safe. I don't wish anything to happen to you guys. " she muttered softly. 
I heard that. 
I found myself smiling. 
Your innocent, caring heart.. 
The very one I fell in love with on the very first day. 
Don't worry JiYeon, 
" They know too. " 

"Its my fault. " I added softly. 
" I had an interview three weeks back.. " 
I shouldn't have said that in that interview. 
It... 
It was inevitable, but yet.. it had led to this. 
I should have thought with a clearer mind and a calmer heart. 


I looked at her. 
Her eyes felt... so cautious at my words. 
Don't worry JiYeon. 
I'm fine, I will not let you know that much and worry about me... 


I realised I stared at her for too long.

" i made a comment. " 

If you ever get hurt because of what I had said, I would never forgive myself. 

"That made them possibly react this way. " 


She hurriedly added, " It's alright. I hope we could have another meet up soon.. " 

Yes of course, 
My dear, 
I still want to see you... 
Until I have the opportunity to make you mine again... 
Even if it means.. seeing you walking down the aisle with another guy... 
I will still breathe words of love to you... 


I bit my lips at this thought. 
Look at your plate Daehyun... 
Don't let your tears fall in front of her. 









The waiter came again..

He lowered the silver plate and lift up the cover. 

There were ten fortune cookies. 
The waiter left. 

What...? 
I stared at her. 

"What's this?" I asked. 

She smiled. 

" A.. gift I guess? " 

"Fortune cookies ? "

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

" I need you to pick three fortune cookies. " she explained. 
" 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.. "  she awkwardly ended

I chuckled.
JiYeon ah...  " Are you playing games with me? " 
She grinned, " Just play along. " 

Welcome Back JiYeon. 
Thankyou for beng so comfortable before me... 

" So.. pick three. " 

I stared at them. 

And took one at the top, 
The other one closer to her, 
And the last one nearest to me. 

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

I chuckled. 
I spin my hand around the three cookies as I tried to pick as randomly as possible. 

I picked the one closer to her, for me,
And the one closer to me for her.
And.. the last one left,
I gave her a glance,  before giving a bite to break off the cookie.

I took out the slip of paper, " Read it.  " she said firmly. 

Read it? 
I saw the paper. 
Urms... 
JiYeon... ah...  
What's the meaning of this?

"I.. " I hesitated. 
Of course I would... 
The slip of paper said... "I love you. " 

It... feels so funny telling her this after so long. 
Yet it feels just as good.. 
I love you, JiYeon. 

Ohno... am I blushing?

I caught her blushing too.. 
Wait... Did she meant for this? 

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

Ohh... no? 
You didn't wrote that.. 
/pouts/

I nodded and broke off the next cookie. 

I suppress the chuckle in me as read it. 

"I love the way you smile. " 
 

Gosh... JiYeon.. 
I love this game
(Chuckles) 
 

"Urms... That shouldn't be it either..." 
Oh really? 
JiYeon ah.. 
You're so cheeky! 
Hehehehs... 


She broke your cookie and read her slip of paper. 

Ohgosh, what is written there? 

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

It would be so cute to see her blush again,
She mumbled,
"I.. Love how you sing. " 

I was smirking. 
Ohmygosh. 
JiYeon... 
 

Actually I can't stop smiling... 
You don't know how much I missed you telling me such words.. 

She... 
She on the other hand... hehehs.. Was blushing so badly.. 
Ohmygosh, do you mean it JiYeon? 
You love how I sing? 

She broke off all the cookies, and so did I. 

"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.. " she hesistated reading this aloud. 

I chuckled, " This is definitely one great gift. " 
I love it so much. 

Even if you have moved on,.. 
It felt so nice hearing them out from your mouth.. 
It's
It is just like falling in love with you all over again. 

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

She left it hanging there.. 

My heart feels a familiar pain.. 

I see.. 
It was really not what you meant to write.. 
I.. 
I understand. 


Well.. even if its not a gift that you wrote.. 
I still love it. 
I really miss hearing those words from you. 

And.. it was really nice to hear them from your mouth today. 

I smiled to hide my aching heart. 
She has moved on, my mind chanted. 
She has. 

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

Initial "DH" and "JY" was carved. 

" Let's take one each? " I suggested with a lighter tone.
Smile Daehyun, Smile.  

She nodded. 

Both of you took the one with the initial respectively..  

This must be a special since it has our initial... 
Does this mean... 

" JiYeon ah. " 

What ever she has, must be meant for me to hear. 
What ever I have, must be meant for her to hear. 
Why not... 
" Let's switch! " 

I took her cookie with a grin. 

Both of you chuckled before breaking the cookie off. 

" I still love you.  " 

" I still love you.  " 

I kept silent. 
I was reading her face. 
If you never meant any of this gift. 
These words.. 
Do you meant it? 

Her face.. 
Her face was so difficult to read. 
It seems to be.. fear. 
Fear and confusion. 

I... 
I don't know what I should be saying. 
If you have moved on.. and.. you're telling me this.. 
Would it be too awkward? 




JiYeon POV

You kept silent. 
You ducked your face down. 
No... Oppa did not just do that.. 
He.. Oh gosh.. 
Sometimes you really hate how much your cousin can tease you. 

But.... 

How should I respond to this? 
If... he has moved on.. 
I.. 
I don't dare to tell him this when he's with another girl. 
But.. 
My Jaki.. 
That's the truth. 
I.. I still love you. 

Look up JiYeon. 
You can't hide. 
You came here... 
For two reasons. 
You have to at least clear one reason if not you can no longer live.. 

Daehyun.. have you moved on? 
You needed to know that. 


At least, it wouldn't hurt so bad seeing him at the end of the aisle ready to hold another girl's hand. 

That..noona.. 
I'm sorry for saying that in front of your boyfriend. 


You looked up and gave a faint smile. 
"My oppa is such a tease.. " 
You nervously bit your lips. 
Even though he was a tease, he was wise. 
He knows this was the best way to help both of you.. 
But it would only work if ... he has not moved on. 

Only if. 
" Yeah..  " he huskily replied. 

How should you continue this? 

There is a strong feeling in you,.. 
A strong urge to tell him.. 
Truly how you... feel. 
Why are there so many insecurities...?? 

Jiyeon Breathe.. 
Look.. 

There's no harm in doing this. 

You.. 
You have to face him for a long time now. 
At least because you're bounded by this thing called job. 
Responsibilities. 
You can't hide. 

" I..." 

" I thought this game was fun. " 
Game? 
You looked at him. 

He was smiling. 
He seems... to be happy. 
Wait what? 

"Huh?" you asked softly. 

" You told me to play along right?" he chuckled. 
" This was so fun. " he teased. 

What?
You mean.. 
Daehyun.. 
You don't have any feelings to the words you've read? 
It... 
It doesn't mean any thing to you?? 

He was awkward with your long silence. 
" Dinner's done, shall I pay ? " 
Even without waiting for your reply, he went to make payment outside the door. 
Everything happened so quickly. 

This.. is a game to him. 
He didn't meant it. 
He.. didn't meant it. 

Your heart.. ached. 
So badly. 

I still love you, Daehyun. 
really.. 
Even though... 
You don't.. 


I love you. 


You sadly made your way out of the restaurant. 

You... didn't bother waiting for him. 
It doesn't matter anymore. 

DAEHYUN's POV
 

She looked up and gave a faint smile. 
"My oppa is such a tease.. " 

She was biting her lips. 

What should I say.. 
He is.. 
You didn't meant the words .. 
You don't still love me right? 
My heart ached. 
It was so painful. 
You didn't want to take the words to yourself. 
You took it on your... oppa.. 
You.. don't love me anymore right JiYeon?
" Yeah..  " I replied. 

" I..." 

" I thought this game was fun. " I stopped her from saying. 
Don't.. 
Don't tell me you're sorry that you don't love me. 
Or you don't mean those words. 
I don't need that. 
I don't need to hear that after two years. 

NO. 

"Huh?" she asked. 

" You told me to play along right?" I tried to chuckle. 
" This was so fun. " 
You have no idea, JiYeon, how much my heart is hurting right now.. 
I can't face you anymore. 

It wouldn't have mattered. 
I thought I could face the reality.. I thought. 

I was awkward with her long silence. 
She was feeling bad.. 
I... I should leave this tension. 
" Dinner's done, shall I pay ? " 
I took my leave and went to the cashier. 
I could have called for the waiter.. but... 
I thought she couldn't stand me there.. 

I took a glance behind. 

I really still love you JiYeon. 

I do... 






When I went back, she... 

was gone. 






 

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO THOSE WHO JUST HAD PASSED 12mn. 
I was really tired, but I wanted to make the story moved on. :D 
This is for everyone of you adorable one... 
I remember I made a mistake somewhere when I was reading... 
I'll do the edits and update you guys. 

LOVE YOU ALWAYS :D
