Chapter 7: Yuri
Perfect for Me“Ryeowook, can we talk?” Yuri called me.
“Sure.”
<3
I walked out of my apartment into the cool spring night. “Meet me in the walkway by Seoul highway”, she had told me. As I walked to the walkway, I peered up and saw Yuri there, crying? Oh no… This couldn’t be good.
While passing by a flower store, I decided to walk in and buy something that was really cute: a bouquet of lollipops and flowers. I hoped that this would cheer Yuri up. I payed for it at the cashier with some money that I’d received from my first paycheck this morning. I didn’t mind spending it on my clients as long as they were happy…
“Yuri,” I walked towards her; her back was facing me. I placed one hand on her shoulder.
“Ryeowook… I’ve decided to give up…” Yuri replied, “It’s too hard… I’m afraid I’m hurting too much…” she turned around while brushing her wet tears from her eyes.
Feeling sympathetic towards Yuri, I held out the bouquet in front of Yuri.
By the look on Yuri’s face, I could tell that she was flustered. I patted her shoulder, “Yuri, don’t give up. I’m not going to give up on you, so why are you giving up on yourself? You’ve got to hang in there. The wedding may be tomorrow, but that doesn’t mean a thing unless you let it mean something.” I smiled to myself. I sounded so motivational, so I was hoping that Yuri would consider my words. “Tomorrow, I’ll be there with you, and we’ll see what happens.”
With tears in her eyes, Yuri’s mouth formed a small smile. “ I believe you Ryeowook… You’ve been so helpful to me…”
