Today, Jieun’s gonna meet Wooyoung. After what happened in the coffee shop a week ago, Wooyoung go there often and tried to talk to Jieun. But Jieun refused it many times.

*Flashback*

“Jieun-ah why don’t you want to talk to Wooyoung? If you want to make things clear, talk to him.” Suzy said.

“I just don’t want to hear stories about her fiancé. About how they met. About the wedding. About uhh I just don’t know what to do. I don’t want to get hurt more.” Jieun answered.

“Then have a talk with him. Just listen to him and then after that, confess your feelings.” Suzy suggested.

“What? No. He’s getting married. I don’t want to tell my feelings on him.”

“You need confess to him. At least you let your feelings out that you hide for more than 5 years. Just confess!”

“Uh um I think you’re right. I’ll do it. I need to be strong for myself. Thanks Suzy-ah!”

*End of Flashback*

Jieun and Wooyoung are on their favorite park back then. They are still both awkward with each other. Thankfully, Wooyoung had the courage to start the conversation.

“Um Jieun-ah, it’s been 5 years right? I really miss you a lot. I’ve been waiting this time to see you again.” Wooyoung said as he hugged Jieun. They both miss hugging each other, which they usually do years ago. But now, this hug was just as fast as it could.

“Honestly, I miss you too Wooyoung, so much. It breaks my heart the time you left me. But why Wooyoung? Why didn’t you reply on my messages? Why? And now you came back here with a fiancé? Why? Why Wooyoung-ah?” Jieun said with lots of questions in her mind.

“That time when I left you, it really broke my heart. When I was in America, I feel like something’s missing, and it was you. It’s been 3 years that we kept in touch with each other. And then the day came, my parents talked to me about an arrange marriage to the daughter of our rival company. They said that if I don’t do it, they will destroy ours. So I agree. That’s why I didn’t answer your messages because I don’t want you to think about this. I don’t want you to be involved in this situation. Then Seyoung came into picture. At first, I didn’t like her at all, but as time goes by, I started to like her. And now, I’m back in Korea with my fiancé. Actually, you’re the first person I thought when we were in the airport. I really miss you Jieun-ah!” Wooyoung explained.

Jieun looked into his eyes as he tells his story. And she was crying as she listened to Wooyoung. This is the first time she cried in front of him.

“Oh. That’s why.” Jieun muttered.

“Um. I- uh- I understand you Wooyoung. When you left me here, I felt so lonely everyday. And then the moment you didn’t answer me, I’m so mad at you. But why didn’t you tell me about this before? Why? I’m your best friend and if you have a problem, you should have told me. Now, you have a fiancé. It feels really different. I wanna punch you. I wanna get mad at you but I can’t because I love you. Ever since before, I have feelings for you. But I don’t wanna tell you this because I don’t want to ruin our friendship. It hurts me a lot when I saw you with your fiancé. But I can’t do anything except to support you.” She said as she avoided her eye contact to Wooyoung.

Wooyoung was shocked. Really shocked.

“Jieun-ah I don’t know. I-i-“ Wooyoung responded.

“It’s okay Wooyoung. I feel like it’s not right but it’s okay. We’re best friends right? And as your best friend, I’ll support you on your decisions. If you love Seyoung, I’ll be happy for you. You deserved to be happy. And if you are, I am happy too. So whe- when’s the wedding?” Jieun said as she wiped the tears flowing in her eyes.

“Jieun you don’t have to do-“

“No Wooyoung, I want to. I have to.” She can’t stand this anymore. “Omo! I need to go back to my work. Just go to the coffee shop if you need anything. By the way, don’t worry about me. I’m okay. I’m going now. Bye Wooyoung-ah!” Jieun waved at Wooyoung. And when she turned back, she can’t stop crying. Tears were flowing in her eyes continuously.

Wooyoung was left there alone, speechless. He suddenly got his phone and called the only person he can talk to right now, his and Jieun’s close friend.

“Yoboseyo? Ya Nichkhun-sshi! Can you come to my house? I need to talk to you right now.”
