One More Try
Flashback:
Jiyeon: Yah! Give it to me!
Jinwoon: Shiruh! This is mine right? *Still raising his hands*
Jiyeon: Aniyo! Yah give it to me JUNG JINWOON *Catching Jinwoon’s hand*
Jinwoon: Shiruh! This is mine, you made this for me right? Don’t deny it *Turn around *
Jiyeon: Arrasso! It’s yours! *Seat on the floor crossing her arms*
Jinwoon: Chincha? *Smiles* let’s see *Opening the box; he seat beside Jiyeon who was pouting her lips, she looks annoyed,*
Jiyeon: Yah! Don’t open it *Stops him*
Jinwoon: waeyo? You said it’s mine. *opens again and grins*
Jiyeon: *bite her lower lips and looks at Jinwoon with so horrible face reaction* don’t open. *Try to convince him*
Jinwoon: *shook his head as he open the box*
And he saw a heart shapes cookies. The cookies were all burnt and colored black. Jinwoon can’t helped but smiles; not because of the burnt cookies but because he was really touched by Jiyeon’s effort of baking cookies even she’s not good in cooking at all.
Jiyeon: See? That’s why I don’t want to give it to you. You just laughed at m---
Jiyeon was interrupted in her words when Jinwoon hugs him tightly. She was shocked.
Jinwoon: Komawo. Komawo. I’m really h—happy *Almost cracking his voice, he was almost teary eyed.*
Jiyeon: *Taps his back* Do you like it? It’s all burnt. I’m sorry.
Jinwoon just nodded and face Jiyeon, he cupped her face using both hands and gives his sweetest smile to her.
Jinwoon: I really really like it. Even it turned like this, I really liked it. It really means a lot to me. Komawo. You made me smile because of this.*paused for a while* Just always remember that even you are not good in all things, I still loved you, I still loved you in your flaws and purest. I will still love you more even from your weaknesses and strengths points. I will still love you no matter what happen.
Jiyeon: *Crying. She was really touched by his words*
Jinwoon: *Wiped her tears* Stop crying okay?
Jiyeon: Neh! *And she throw herself a hug for him*
End of flashback…

Jinwoon went to his office early as unusual; he walks to the table when he notices a small box in his table. He read the note on the top and looks disgust after reading the content. The next thing he did was throw the box in the trash can.
On the other hand, Jiyeon was standing near at the entrance and she saw everything what Jinwoon did, she just sighed after Jinwoon throw her home made cookies she bake for Jinwoon. Although she was expecting this would be happen, she was still hoping that Jinwoon would appreciate her effort – just like before.

Jiyeon POV:
As what I’m expecting, he just throws it. I just close my eyes and sighed after seeing it. I can’t take that for now, he never appreciated me,
Do I’m not important to him? Does he completely forget me?
I walk inside his office still looking to him, but in returned he never glance at me, like I’m just a ghost, not really existing.
Jiyeon: Annyeong! *cheerfully greeted him*
But he didn’t response. He was continuing scanning his papers as like he didn’t hear me at all.
Jiyeon: You seem early, *she said again in her cheerful voice* Do you want coffee? I’ll buy you some *she was about to walk*
Jinwoon: *press the intercom in his side* can you bring me coffee in my office? Just for one.
I stop from walking the moment I heard him. And it kills me inside. Although how many times I convinced myself not to be affected by his cold treatment towards me, I can’t control what I really felt. I can’t take seeing him like that to me. Like he doesn’t care at all.
Seulong: Oh! Jiyeon-ah! You’re early. *looks at Jiyeon and smiles, then he looks at Jinwoon who was busy scanning his paper works*
Jiyeon: *smiles* neh. Annyeong oppa *greeted him using her cheerful voice*
Seulong: Annyeong *smiles* Oh. Jiyeon-ah! I have something to ask? * he was seating in the chair together with Jiyeon*
Jiyeon: Neh oppa. What is it? *she sits beside Seulong*
Seulong: Jiyeon-ah, where do you staying right now?
Jiyeon: *looks shock*
Seulong: Your brother called last night, he was asking for you, if you really came back here. Did you didn’t tell you came back?
Jiyeon: Oh. *still in shocked* Aniya. Well I will pay visit next time *smiles and looks down*
Seulong: *eyebrow met* Wae?
Jinwoon: Hyung, could you please stop talking non sense things? We need to talk most important matters. *eyes still in the papers*
I just look at him, does he didn’t care at me right now? Where’s the Jinwoon I loved? Where’s the Jinwoon who always cared and loved me? Did he really gone?
I felt Seulong oppa hold my hand, he just smiled at me; like he was telling “it’s okay”. I smiled back. I do admit, even though Jinwoon turns like this, I was still lucky, because I know I have friends that still in my side. Even, I didn’t deserve this all.
Wooyoung: *runs hurriedly* Yah! We have a problem! *looks paled*
---
Changmin: You really sure about this? *looks at Seulong*
Seulong: We didn’t have any choice.
Wooyoung: Hyung. Seulong was right. He just said he wants to meet the new building designer right? There’s nothing to worry about. *tries to convince him*
Changmin: But---
Jiyeon: No more buts oppa! I can make it. Trust me *she beams*
Wooyoung: See Jiyeon can do it *looks at Jiyeon* fighting!
Changmin: But still, we don’t have any design as of now, how come?
Jiyeon: Oppa, I’m good in this, are you not trusting me? *puppy eyes*
Changmin: Arrasso. Arrasso.
Seulong: Jinwoon-shi. You need to go with Jiyeon
Jinwoon: why me? *disgusted*
Wooyoung: Because you’re not busy. *winks*
Jinwoon: I don’t want. I’m busy.
Seulong: Yah!
Jinwoon: I said, I don’t want. I don’t want to be with this woman. *looks at Jiyeon with no emotion, he even emphasize each words at her*
Changmin: Yah! Jinwoon!
Jinwon: Waeyo? I’m just stating the fact, why I need to work with this woman at all? just what I said, I don’t like her, I really don’t trust her, and as the matter of fact, you’re just the one who insisting that she was part of this team, Well for me she’s not. And besides, we didn’t know if she can make it. And I doubt her skills.
