Chapter Nine

Melancholy Of Love

I will wait for you Hanbin"

A familiar voice whispers to Hanbin's ears as he was sitting down on a chair in an empty dark room.

"Lee hi, where are you?"

"I will wait for you Hanbin"

Leehi's voice is now echoing inside the dark room, saying the same words all over again. Hanbin covers his ears as he starts to panic. He tries to get out from the room as he look for a door. But even though how hard he looks for a door he couldn't find one. This time Lee hi's voice become louder saying the same words again. Hanbin struggles to the pain as he still tries to find a door. Voice become more louder and the pain became more sharper. Hanbin couldn't do anything he just lay down his whole body on the floor feeling the pain all over his head then suddenly he opened his eyes, seeing the brown and almost rotten ceiling in his room. He sigh in relief as he realized that what happened to him earlier was just a nightmare. A nightmare that always on repeat and haunts Hanbin as he fall asleep.

Hanbin gets up from his bed and went straight to the bathroom. He rinse his face with the stagnant water in the the sink. As he raise his head to face the mirror he saw his self. Suddenly a deep thought came across in his mind.

"What if I didn't go to jail?"

Hanbin looks at his face in the mirror with a curious looking face. Thinking what would've be his future if he didn't went to jail. "Will I able to finish my studies?" "Will I have a proper job?" "Will be Lee hi still be mine?" "Will I have a better life?..... with Lee hi? "

Hanbin slap the water in the sink as he start to let alone his thoughts and do his usual routine as soon as he woke up. As he get out from the small shelter, he saw a set of breakfast on the wooden old bench. It was covered with plastics and have a note with it.

"Mom said that you should always have your breakfast. So from now on she will be the one who will cook for you.She will be very glad if you join us next time -Chanwoo"

Hanbin picked up the note and smirk as he read the letter. He sat down on the bench as he examines the food. He let his self enjoyed it. When he finally finished his food he start walking down the alley and went straight to his workplace. It was a coffee shop that is just near in the park where he meet Yuna.

"Oh.. good morning Hanbin" a good-looking man greeted him

"Morning Donghyuk" Hanbin greeted back

"Ya! You look horrible today what happened to your eyes? Seems like you had a nightmare" Donghyuk stated

"nightmare" Hanbin suddenly paused for a moment and remember his dream last night

"Maybe, it is really a nightmare " Hanbin mumbled

"Ya, what are you mumbling?" Ask Donghyuk

"Nothing.... I just remembered something" Hanbin answered

"What is it?"

"You wouldn't want to know"

"Aish! What a kill joy"

Suddenly another good-looking man with full lips joined Hanbin and Donghyuk. It is June one of the baristas in the coffee shop.

"Ya! lovebirds what are you arguing early in the morning?" June asked

"It's none of your business" Donghyuk replied

"It's not worth knowing for" Hanbin also replied

"Seriously! I don't know why I worked in this place with some stone cold guys like you" June said

"Aigoo! I wouldn't want to work with you in the first place! " Donghyuk replied

"Tss! As if I wanted to work with you! June said

"Ya, are you going to argue there all day or work?" Hanbin said to them both as he prepare the coffee machines

.........

Knock, knock

"Come in" Yuna stated

"Good morning Director Song" Jinhwan said as he enters the room

"Omo you're back Mr. Kim! " Yuna stood up

"Yes I am. It's good to be back" Jinhwan said

"So how was your trip to Jeju? Is your mother okay?" Yuna ask

"Ne she's fine. She's a good actress "

"Good actress.....? Yuna wondered

"Hmmm.... I thought she was seriously injured from a car accident turns out to be that she only got a scratch on her hand. My dad and sister rushed her to the hospital and my mom immediately took this chance to lure me to go home" Jinhwan explained to Yuna

"Ahhh.... thank God your mom is alright though what she did is kinda panicking"

"I'm sorry, I let you worry for no reason" Jinhwan apologizes

"It's alright Mr. Kim, besides if my mom called me that way I will also surely panicked the way you did or worse in my case."

"Yeah, thank you by the way"

" Your mom must've miss you a lot. She went to the point where she lied so you can come home again"

"To be honest I felt guilty when I went back to Jeju"

"Waeyo? (Why?) "

" thinking that my mom would do that just to make her see my face again. I thought that I must've been a unabashed son"

"Mr. Kim... "

"I always drowned myself in work not even thinking how my family has been doing. I'm a lousy person"

"That's not true. You're a caring person. You always cared to the people around you and helped them with there problem. I am thankful to you for always cheering me up whenever I'm down and always helping me through hard times. Gomawo (Thank you)"

" You really are a good person Yuna. People will not think twice to help you and besides you're like a sister to me so I don't mind helping you. Just remember that I can be the "oppa" you can always lean on" Jinhwan said proudly

"Thank you Jinhwan oppa" Yuna said happily

"You're always welcome" Jinhwan replied

As the two of them continue to talk Yuna's phone suddenly ring. Yuna quickly pick up her phone and saw a message from Hanbin.

She opened the message saying:
" do you like sweets?" 
Yuna got confused for a moment and replied 
yes I do. Why?" 
Yuna attentively wait Hanbin's reply and as soon as her phone beep again she hurriedly open the message from Hanbin saying:
meet me at the park by 3pm I have something to give to you
" what is It?" Yuna replies
"You'll know when you come" Hanbin replied back

Yuna got confused and start contemplating whether she's going or not.

" what's with him?" Yuna murmurs

" is there something wrong?" Jinhwan asks

" oh nothing I just got a message"

"From whom?"

" from....from a friend " Yuna answered

" ah. Alright...oh by the way would like me to buy you a cake after work I know a place where they serve a really good cakes" Jinhwan invites Yuna

" oh...uhm...actually I need to meet my friend after work so..."

"Oh.. is that the friend who texted you earlier?"

"Yes. It is" Yuna shyly smiles

" well I hope there's going to be a next time" Jinhwan said

"Of course, there's always next time for a cake"

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

" Seems like you're in a good mood today huh" Donghyuk said as he approached the locker room where Hanbin is

" what do you mean by that " Hanbin asked

" i can see your smile from ear to ear, something good happened eh?" 

" not really" Hanbin said as he closed his locker and put on his apron 

' maybe you got yourself a girlfriend huh!" Donghyuk conclude as he teasingly smile at Hanbin

" ya! mind your own business will ya!" Hanbin stated back

" arasso Mr. Kim Hanbin" 

 

As Hanbin and the others start their work, a Woman wearing a simple long sleeve dress with a Blazer is standing outside the shop with a black Honda car. June notice it as the woman walks inside the shop without any hesitation despite on the close sign outside.

" I'm sorry Ma'am but the shops still close" June said to the woman

" Im not here for the coffee, I'm here for someone" The woman replied

" I'm Sorry?" June confusingly looked at her

" what are you doing her Lee Hayi?" Someone stated as the question echoed the whole room

" Kim Hanbin, can i talk to you?" Lee hi asked infront of the other staff

" sure, but not in this place" Hanbin calmly agreed

" Sorry, but i need to borrow Hanbin for now, if its alright with you?" Lee Hi asked to June

" just let him back before 10, I do not want to have a man power shortage today since its going to be packed before lunctime" June stated

" i understand, thank you" Lee hi replied

" Im sorry. Im  gonna leave you for a while, ill be back quickly as I can"  Hanbin bowed

As Hanbin and Lee Hi made their way inside the car, Donghyuk curiosly look outside while saying to June " What a lucky man! I knew it! Hanbin has a girlfriend, what a sly fox he is!" 

" I Dont think that woman is Hanbin's girlfriend" June stated

" how can you say so? She just went here to fetch Hanbin personally,dont you think that what girlfriends do when they want to be with their guy?"  another Barista named Song suddenly enters the converstation

" Im pretty sure that woman is the Wife of the vice president of the Song corporation " June Stated

" WHAT?!" Donghyuk and Song was so shock that the cups and glasses they're organizing almost fell on the ground.

--------

As Lee hi drive , Hanbin quietly sat and stare outside the car. The two hadnt been speaking to each each other eversince they drove off from Hnabin's work place. 

" So how are you? i can see that you fount a good job" Lee hi says as she  decided to break the silence between them

" acting like nothing happened last time we saw each other, I clearly remembered that you told me to not appear in your sight again, and here you are excusing me from my work just to talk to me, tell me what do you want" Hanbin coldly says to Lee hi

Lee hi stopped the car on the side of the road as her expression change from before, her big black eyes stared at Hanbin.

" are you still mad at me? for what i did?" 

" only a fool will not get mad on what you did" 

" look i'm sorry for what i told you before, Im just... so shock to see you after all these years.....i should'nt had left you. i should've told you my plans. i shouldnt did all this to you. i shouldve be the one who was in that cold cell not you in the first place....if i wasnt that ambitous and selfish that time. Maybe you're not that in situation right now"  Lee hi said as she break down in tears 

" I'm so sorry. I was wrong" she repeatedly say crying infront of Hanbin

Hanbin look at her with his expressionless face. 

" stop apologizing. its my choice to take that responsibility that day. Beside how can I let you got to a cold cell. That is a heartless thing for me to do." Hanbin said

" Hanbin ah~ " 

" past is past. we cannot  do anything about it anymore. besides we have our own lives now.But despite the fact that you're already married, Truthfully saying I Still love you like before, nothing has change for my love to you Lee Hi"
