Chapter 35 : True Love
Jinho's Story14 October 2016 (Friday), 5.50 a.m.
In the same alley, I woke up. That's when I realized what had happened. I had another panic attack.
What surprised me was that I wasn't laying on the ground like I remembered. Instead, I was laying against the wall.
I turned to my left and I saw Wendy laying her head on my shoulder. Did she stay here with me all night?
Jinho : I bet I look pretty lame to her now.
Wendy : The lamest...
She woke up. She moved her head away from my shoulder.
Jinho : Did you stay with me all night?
Wendy : I couldn't let you get sick again.
That's when I took a look at my hands. They were shivering. This is also the second panic attack I've had.
Jinho : I think I already am.
Wendy took my hands and held them tight. She felt them shivering. She was worried.
Wendy : What happened?
Jinho : I had a panic attack. Why didn't you call for help?
Wendy : I wanted to, but then I heard you talking in your sleep.
Jinho : What did I say?
Wendy : Don't go...
I was surprised to hear that. I looked away from Wendy, who was still holding my hands.
Wendy : Why can't you tell me anything about you? What is going on?
I got tired of hearing those words from her. I snapped.
Jinho : Why do you care? Why did you even come back to me? I thought you said we'll never meet again!
Wendy was shocked to hear those words.
Wendy : What did I do to you to hate me so much?
I tried to take my hands away from her, but she wouldn't let me go.
Jinho : You wouldn't understand! Let go!
Wendy : I want to know! That's why I came back! I want to know what it was that was worth destroying our friendship!
Jinho : What we had wasn't friendship, and you know it!
That's when Wendy became silent. I managed to take my hands back. She just looked at me while I remained looking away from her.
Jinho : You like me... and I like you. I tried to fool myself that I didn't, but I couldn't.
Wendy : You're right! I don't understand! Why is that so bad?
That's when she remembered dragging me into the clothing store. How she told me that she can't be seen dating.
I turned to look at her and I could tell she remembered what she told me, but she wasn't convinced.
Wendy : I refuse to believe this is all because of what I said to you!
I looked up at the sky. It was still dark, but the stars are still shining.
Jinho : My love life is just too complicated.
Wendy : Is that the best way you can explain it to me? It's complicated?
Jinho : I never asked to make it complicated, but it is. It's better you don't get involved.
That's when she pushed me to the ground
