Another Winter
the Another Winter 21

Friday, friday,

At that time, spring, at school, rather in the school garden that had never been visited by students other than herself and Reyna, the girl had once spoken to Hyuji.

"Val is the first love that will be everything to me Hyu! "

He still remembered very clearly inside his head. Even ringing up to this second, how does the sound as soft as honey belong to Reyna when saying that. Full of sincerity in the two beads of the girl who is now gone for good.

At that time, Hyuji thought Reyna was only bragging about the forever titled Monkey Love that might be a painful wound for Reyna.

"You'll know what it's like, when you actually find someone who can make you feel a different beat in your heart! "

Hyuji smiled bitterly, hugging the only photo he had while still with Reyna. The photo Val took because Reyna insisted. Hyuji again distanced the photo with the color that almost faded and then rubbed the face of Reyna who was smiling.

"It's so pretty. "he said grimly. "But you're a fool Rey! Why are you willing to hurt yourself for the sake of—" Hyuji's voice choked. Realizing that he had also become a fool like Reyna.

"You're right Rey! That first love can never be erased in the blink of an eye! "

Hyuji curled up on a sofa that used to be a place to joke or clash how stubborn he and John were, first.

"I think I got a fair reply for laughing at the first love you ever told me was Rey! I'm trapped too! Just like you! " hyuji said in a monologue, as if Reyna was in the same place to listen to his complaints.

Hyuji rubbed his stomach which started to feel nauseous, annoying once lately. Now, Hyuji changed the position of his gaze to the side, turning his head to see the wedding photos without a frame that is still on the television table. Back to pin a bitter smile when they realize how simple the marriage they did two years ago. Without being clad in a magnificent dress and expensive suit, both of them said the sacred promise of marriage.

There was nothing he wanted to do today, there was already no more spirit from him after John left one day ago.

"Stay here! "

"Why would I be here if you weren't John?" he muttered softly, cursing himself while John's shadow still wouldn't go from memory.

Hyuji hurriedly ran to the bathroom as the nausea rained down on him in earnest. With a breath of breath, Hyuji rubbed his lips wet because of the water he used to gargle. Walk limply out of the bathroom, grab a glass then fill the water for him to sip.

Sitting pensively while circulating thoughts about him who has not also gotten a monthly period after more than a month. This has never happened before.

"Am I carrying her child? " the palm just stretched out toward his flat stomach, rubbing doubt until a small smile printed on his stomach.

"I have to make sure first! "

He glimpsed the wall clock that pointed at ten in the morning. He grabbed a long sweater and wore it to a nearby pharmacy. Hyuji also plans to buy small meals only at a mini market near the pharmacy, as he loses his appetite since waking up from sleep.

Locking the door of the house, only need to walk towards the main road to arrive at the pharmacy. A memory where John once dreamed about crying babies, making Hyuji also hold his own laughter, clenching his lips tightly so that other road users do not look strangely at him.

The sun was quite blazing today, Hyuji intended to rush back home after carrying out his two missions. However, in the hot sun and also the stomach that has not been filled at all, plus he was weak due to vomiting, Hyuji felt dizzy.

Immediately sitting on a curb chair just below the leaf-growing Ginkgo tree, Hyuji opened and drank the mineral water he bought. Then eat Samgak Kimbap*nya.

While chewing the food, various mosquitoes filled his thinking room. What if she's really pregnant with John's child? Or rather, how would she raise the child?.

Until a wind carried every strand of Hyuji's hair, a shiny black car stopped right in front of him.

Hyuji knew very well the presence that came out from behind the door of the luxury car.

"Mother." he called slowly when he saw John's mother coming out of the iron horse he was riding. Hyuji's appetite was completely gone, one palm clenched perfectly with a twinkle that did not stop staring at the Classy-clothed woman who was further slashing the distance.

"It's really you! Luckily, I didn't have to come to that house!"

Hyuji just silently stared at how the woman said with an unfailing tone of sarcasm while talking to him.

"What is it that you need to come all the way here?Let's talk at home, it'll be sa—"

"No need! I'll just be a minute!" the answer was firm, impressed with the mockery.

So, what did John's mother want to tell him to be willing to come all the way to his place? Is it possible that the middle-aged woman changed her mind and wanted to take him along to meet John and make up?

"See who John prefers now?"

Ah, of course not! Hyuji nodded in silence. His lips were tightly clenched and lowered slowly to hear the words that would next cross the perungu.

"I know my son is not stupid! He just wants to play you..."

Hearing that, Hyuji raised the corner of his eye again. Look closely at the presence before him, then smile thinly.

"Yes, I know, John is not a stupid man! But at least, I know and want to think about my own son's feelings!"

Joana was silent, the smile that had been gracing the face with expensive lipstick was hardened. His gaze changed. "What are you talking about? John's gonna put me in first place in his life!"

"Of course I don't deny that!" hyuji replied firmly, this is the first time he has dared to speak while staring fixedly at the two beads of the mother-in-law. Then continue. "What if he knew he was going to be a father?"

Both eyes firmly faded, staring emotionlessly at the girl who was bowing to pay respect and left her. However, the girl again stopped her steps and turned to say, "Don't say anything to John because it will make him change his mind and come back to me, so just hide everything and assume I never say anything to you! Because it will make it harder for you to keep John away from me! "

For some reason, suddenly the woman could not say anything after hearing what Hyuji said. Suddenly her lips locked tightly and could not answer what Hyuji had told her. Just looking at the little girl's back getting away from her.

"So, she's pregnant with John's child? Nah! John can't know about this! Or if she finds out she's pregnant, it'll all be a mess!" He said with a worried and agitated face, then re-entered the car and left Yangcheon to return to Seoul.

Hyuji stops when he finds that the black car is speeding up, realizing that John's mother is gone. Suddenly, his heart broke. The strong words he had spoken with sarcastic tone were unable to make him back rigid. Hyuji held himself in a slump, wiping away the tears that began to fall. He missed his mother in my daegu, but as fast as lightning he shook his head. Didn't want to add to the burden of his parents if they knew he was going to break up with John.

"Sorry, I can't go back to my daegu yet, mother.." he muttered as he turned his eyes and returned to rubbing tears. But all his attention was distracted on his phone which suddenly shook. A message came in.

John's.

Let's meet tomorrow. Define place! There's something that needs your approval and signature. []
