In the middle of spring you exhaustedly sat on the bench….

Sweating Bullets mercilessly rolling down your face…

That Face…

The face that makes everybody adore you….

That makes every boy fell head over heels in love with you

That makes every girl have you as their inspiration

That face….

Which makes me fall in love with you…



You silently gulp all the contents of the bottle. Not satisfied of drinking it all… You stop drinking and stare at the bottle…

As if cursing the bottle…. 



" Here….. "
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"….. Take this " 



I look up to see the owner of the voice…. She's handing me a full bottle of water 

There's no pictorial today that's why I decided to go out to jog since it's Spring and the weather is nice… It's also the time when Cherry Blossoms bloom and I want to check it out… Unfortunately after jogging and viewing the flowers… I took out the full bottle of water and gulped it down at once… Leaving me with none.. 



" But… what about you? " 

I asked her but she just tapped her pocket and I heard the sound of coins… Signaling she can buy her drink later. 



" Thanks " I accepted the cold refreshing bottle of water and put it on my bag. 



" Did you already have your afternoon snack? " She asked 



Right… It's already 4:30 in the afternoon 



" Not yet.. But I'm planning to have it later at home " I confidently answered

" Then please do come with me " You offered 

" Oh? Are you sure? " I asked 

" Yes, come there is a nearby Ice Cream shop here. " 

" Seriously? Then I'll owe you so much " Yes because You gave me your water bottle… plus the water is cold and refreshing 

" No, Don't worry about it " You said and followed it with a chuckle. " Come " You hold my hand and dragged me towards the ice cream shop. 



How come you look familiar…. 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

" What flavor do you want? " I asked 

" Umm… Chocolate Mint " You answered

" Then Chocolate Mint it is… Wait I'll order " 



After I Ordered and The ice Creams are ready to serve I brought the serving tray to our table and put your order in front of you 



" Thank You " You answered and wait for me to sit down to eat my own serving 

" What flavor did you ordered for yours? " You asked

" Double Dutch " I simply answered and eat a spoonful of myice cream

" Ahhhh " You said and also bite a spoonful of the chocolatemint. 

" By the way… What's Your Name? " You asked again
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
" Eun Jung ….." 

How come your name seems familiar ?

" …….Ham Eun Jung " 



And with that I almost choke the spoon 

" Ham?! " I asked out of real shock

" Yes " 

" THE Ham Eun Jung? The inheritor of the Ham Company? " 

" Yes " 

" My Future Boss?! " 

Stop firing questions after questions, Qri…. 

" Yes? " 

" Ni… Nice To meet you ma'm " 

" You became polite All of the sudden? Come on Qri… It's fine " 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
" Qri? How did you know my name ma'm? " 

Shoot….. I'm busted

" Of Course everybody knows your name " 

" What do you mean ma'm? " 

" Your featured in all our magazines and photos " 

" Ahh… that explains it… Ma'm thank you for the bottle and for this " 

" Hey stop right there, Don't go with formalities.. Just call me Eun Jung… Jungshii if you want " 

" Nice to meet you… Future Boss " 

" Nice meeting you too…. " 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

" So Do you have any schedule for tomorrow? " I ask

" Yes, for the website photoshoot " 

" Ahh.. Then I'll see you tomorrow " 

" Right " 


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------
Their friendship lasted and eventually Qri learns to love Eun Jung slowly and slowly…. Until it became official… She is in love with her…. 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------






Ham Eun Jung…….. 



" Qri- ahhh " You called

" Yes, Jung? " 

" Umm " 

" Why? " 

" How come it's not Jungshii? " 

You noticed such a small thing

" Nothing " I said 

" How come you have short responses? " You stare at me aiming for my eye

" Just Nothing " I said as I Try my best to avoid your eye contact

" And how come your avoiding my eye contact? " 

I Look at your eyes and stared at it deeply but I just can't help but smile

" Also… How come you always smile whenever we have an Eye contact? " 

Shot… Why did she noticed every little thing I Do ?

" Ri… " that tone…. It's serious…. 

" Yes??? " I Try to keep my cool and not be nervous

" All these signs you are showing these days…. You blush when someone says we look good together….. You became quiet when there is only two of us… You easily get jealous… " 

" Ok Ok…. Just continue… Go " I said in a serious but Playful tone

" Ri.. " Not the serious one again

" Yeah? " 

" Do you Like me? " 

" No….. " 

" Or Do You love me? " 



I Became quiet….. Thinking if it's the right time to tell you…. 

" Because Ri…. " 

"…… Ri, I Like you…. I'm just afraid to be rejected… and Our friendship is also at stake and-- " 

" Jungshii.. I Love You….. " I Cut your words….. Afraid of your reaction 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

" You….. Love me? " Oh Well…. Because honestly speaking I don't like you….. I Love you…. 

You Just slowly nodded your head…. 

" Ri, Stand up " I ordered and You follow… 



I Hold your shoulders and Slowly…. And hesitantly kiss your forehead…. 

" Remember our deal? " I asked

" Promises are not meant to be broken….. So don't tell a promise if you can't do " You said 

" Ri…. I Promise to take care of you…. And I Promise… " 

"…… That my heart is Only Yours " 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You Hugged me tight and let your head rest on my shoulder

" Jungshii….. I Believe in you…. Shii….. thank You " 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------
But will that promise…. Still can be accomplished…. After a false belief happened? 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------

" Eun Jung " Appa called me 

" Yes, appa? " 

" You gotta fetch someone on the airport.. She came from Japan…. No Worries she's Korean " 

" How come she came from Japan? " 

" I assigned her there and I promised to fetch her at herhome coming… but Unfortunately you'll be the one to do it because I had a Business appointment with our Possible investors " 

" Appa…. Promises are not meant to be broken " 

" That's why you're the one to do it " 

" Ok, appa….. Bye " 

" Sure…. Take care and drive safely " 



----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------

" But, Miss Im… Mr. Ham is still not around!! You Can't go wondering off " 

" Then what should I Do…… wait and be bored? " 

" Don't worry Miss Im… Your waiting will be paid back " The guard assured me 



Just Then a electric blue sports car drove in front of me 



" I'm sorry… Father won't be around that's why I will be the one to fetch you " 

Yes… My waiting is already paid back 

" No It's fine… Supposed to be your Eun Jung Unnie? " I Remember her… of course I should 

" Just call me oppa… I'm not used with someone calling me unnie " You said as you busily pack my things at the trunk of your car

" Sure… Oppa " and I Put a seductive tone and dangerously placed my hand on your shoulder 

" Come on.. go inside the car.. if you may, Please? " You said and opened the car door

" Thank You Oppa " 



As you busily drive our way to the company your phone rang 



" Yeoboseyeo? Hmm… Ri… Yes? Oh….. You Can just drop by at my office later…. Yes…. Saranghae " The last part was a whisper 

" Who is Ri? " I fishily asked

" Hm? Oh.. Ri?? Qri…. Lee Qri " 

Right… The famous model that even had fans back at Japan

" So You gotta drop by your home first or go straight to the office? " 

" Just went straight… I Miss the building " 

" Ok….. I just follow orders " 

" Oppa " 

" Yes? " 

" You and Qri are good friends? " 

" Not just that " You said as you cheekily smiled

I knew it… Ham Eun Jung… Prepare to be mine…

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------

I Don't know why but I feel nervous when I'm with Yoona right here now… Qri's absence is really annoying…. I Don't feel whole when I'm not with her…

" Yoona just to remind you I'm 2 years older than you.. or maybe a year and some months " 

" I Know oppa " 

" Good…. " 



Finally after some driving we arrive at the company



Qri will drop by at myoffice sometime later….

" Oppa, thank you " 

" Sure " 



I immediately left her after I put her things at theirdesignated areas and went straight to my office.

" Oppa… " I Knew that seductive tone somewhere



As I Thought.. Im Yoona..



" Yes? " 

And she immediately pinned me to my desk making me sit on it… She's ready to come forward just then the door open



" Qri… " I said 



But she immediately close… wrong…. Slam the door and runaway… I Gently push Yoona and chase Qri but she stopped me 



" What's with her ?!" She asked

" I Made a promise…. My Heart is only hers " 



With that I gently shook her hand away and started runningfor Qri…

When I saw her she immediately run towards a small darkstreet passage and when I caught her I Immediately pinned her to the wall.



" RI!!!!!! Please " she did nothing but struggle to get loose of my grip 

" Ri, Listen to me! " I raise my voice almost letting meshout 

" There's nothing I should listen to! " She did the same wayon her voice

" Ri, Let me explain! " and she paused for a while

" You, Ham Eun Jung…. " I Got startled by her words 

" ……. Promised me that Your heart is only mine….. " 

" And I'm a fool…… " 

"…… Cause I Thought Your Love Is only mine " 



Her Words …… Hurts me… It… Made me weak….. 

She Broke off my grip and started walking to her own house… 

Lee Qri….. I Never broke the promise….
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------
By That Time… Qri tries to get rid of Eun Jung that's why she decided to move to Busan.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------


No……

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



" Are you sure… Doctor? " I asked trying hard not to let my tears from falling

" Ms. Lee… Your Only chance of living is to get a heart transplant. I'm really sorry " 

" Tha….. Thank You…… " 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------


" Ms. Ham…. We found out that the person you are searching for is often visiting the hospital " 

" Do You Know why ? " 

" Yes Ms. Ham…. She's suffering from a hereditable heartdisease… but for her condition, she would be the last person in their family who got the disease " 

" Meaning if she will got a child she won't pass it to? "

" Yes Ms. Ham " 

" Thank You… You've done well…. Where is she located? " 

" She's currently at Busan " 

" Ok… You May go… Thank You " 

" That's nothing Ms. Ham " 

No……

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------
EunJung Visits Busan and Found the hospital… She tried her best not to be seen by Qri.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------


" Hello… May I Please speak to Dr. _______________ " 

" Sure, he's at room 27 " 

" Thank You " 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------
It can't be….. 



" No….. " 



My Only hope? Heart Transplant….. The question is…. Who will be my donor…. I Have no family…. I've been an orphan since I'm 13… I'm still new here in Busan and I don't know anyone here…. 



I Knew it…..



That's why mom died because of this disease… The question is…



Will I Die the same way ??
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------


" I will be the ideal donor, Doctor " 

" Yes, you are.. Are you willing to give your heart to Ms.Lee ? " 

" I Do… As long as its Qri I will " 

" Your choice Ms. Ham " 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------
THE NEXT DAY…..
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------


" Ms. Lee, No need to worry about your donor " 

" Doc? " I Can't believe it 

" Someone is an ideal donor and she's willing to give her heart to you " 

" Thank You! Do You know who she is ? So That I can thank her personally " 

" Sorry but she says that I can't say it " 

" Ok, please tell her thanks for me " 

" Yes, Ms. Lee " 



Who is she? 

" Someone is an ideal donor and SHE's willing to give HER heart to You " 



Who is she? 


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------
THE DAY OF OPERATION 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------


" Ms. Ham, are you sure of this? " The doctor asked me 

" My parents already passed away.. Besides Yoona will be the one to inherit the company.. I'm sure doctor…. I'm sure " 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------
MONTHS AFTER THE OPERATION
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------
" Ms. Lee, you're already fully recovered " The doctor warmly smiled at me and gave me the sign that I already can go home

" Thanks you doctor " 

" Oh Right, before you will go home.. I Want you to have this " And he handed me a small violet note 



I Made my promise… Ri…My Heart is only yours



" Doc……. Please don't tell me " 

" Ms. Ham is the donor, I'm sorry Ms. Lee " and he left the room 



Jungshii…. Is the donor?? She…… She…..



….. Never broke herpromise 


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------
Qri decided to have a new life.. new lifestyle, new person, new look…. She went back to Seoul and studied HighSchool for safe keeping that she's not THE Lee Qri…. She wears spectacles…..making her unnoticeable. 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------


Not another day of bullying 



" Haa!!! That's all you've got girl? " The school girl bully mocked after I fell down… making my spectacles go off me..

I can't see anything 

" Can You guys just quit it?! " 

I Know that voice

" Uh oh… Hey The president of the Martial Arts club arrived….Girls come on! " A Nemesis of the school bully warned 

" Your seriously lucky today " The girl warned me and flee 




Where is my spectacles? 


" Here….. " 

HUH?!

She's handing me my spectacles.. I Immediately wore it and take a good look of her 

" Ah, Right I Didn't introduced myself yet. My name is – " 

" – Eun Jung " I Blurted out of nowhere

" How…. How did you know my name? "
