This morning Jiwon packed the things she was going to bring to New York. But this time his departure to the country may only be for a few months just to visit his omanya there and a short vacation from his artistic routine.
From earlier his lips hummed and occasionally smiled knot. In fact, countless times had the corner of his lips lifted up like he was in a good mood.
How not, like there's a butterfly lying in his stomach. It's funny to remember it.
Aishhs.
Kim Jiwon could finish your job next year if you think about it.
Until the ringing of the cell phone diverts its attention from the suitcase. The new number is visible on the phone's screen.
"Yeopseo"
"..."
"Nugu.." his words were stifled with cold sweat started to come out from his temple his heart was beating twice as much.
And it was as if flying high and being dropped just like that tears escaped from his eyelids upon hearing someone say that call.
"How is he doing?"
"..."
Jiwon wiped away her rough tears, "I'm flying right now" she said, then hung up the phone and called someone.
He called repeatedly but was not lifted up at all. His mind was completely confused now. He chose to call another number.
Tutt's.tuuttt...
Back connected but only continued answers from the operator who answered it, until the third call.
Appointed.
"Yeopseo, oppa eodiya?" His breath was cut off for holding back the cry.
"..."
"I have to go to Shanghai right now."
"..."
"I can't explain now, can you please take care of my car at the airport later ? I can't wait for Chanyeol or take a public taxi right now, I'm in a hurry" Jiwon said, grabbing a few not as many things as her briefcase.
"..."
Jiwon sighed and exhaled to make her calmer, "He was an accident"
"..."
The girl nodded when she heard the reaction of the person on her phone, "No need to oppa, let me be alone"
"..."
"Geureu, I'll be waiting for you in the lobby"
Phone connection was cut off. Jiwon grabbed her grey coat and grabbed her bag and walked out of her apartment. His hands are still busy with his phone to book a plane ticket to Shanghai for now fortunately there is only about an hour and a half from now.
Hopefully still time.
"Seon ho oppa" exclaimed Jiwon as her manager's car arrived in front of her apartment lobby.
He immediately ran towards the car.
"Nobody left behind, passport?" Ask Seon ho.
Jiwon shook her head, "Kajja"
Le seon hopun nodded and ran his car towards the airport.
...***...
"Chanyeol - ahh" Jiwon said as she realized the man's arrival at the door.
The man looked at her and then turned around.
Jiwon immediately ran after him however Chanyeol must have misunderstood him.
How not? You're so stupid, Kim Jiwon.
"Chan, that wasn't what you saw" Jiwon explained as she managed to hold Chanyeol's arm at the end of the hospital corridor.
"What I saw was not clear" the man said as if there was nothing and it made Jiwon feel even more guilty.
"Listen to me ! About earlier..."
"He still loves you so much" Chanyeol cut to make Jiwon look at him clueless.
"I can see it" continued the man while looking down.
"It's not what you think..."
"Solve your business I'll be waiting for you in the car, it's not good if later the Chinese media will recognize us you're not even wearing your face cover" chanyeol said with a smile and then passed away from Jiwon who was still fixated.
He could still smile when he repeatedly injured her.
What are you doing Kim Jiwon.
Jiwon chose to go back to Li Xian's nursery to finish everything now.
"Where is he ? Is he angry ?" Li Xian asked as the girl re-entered her nursery.
"Mianhae Jiwon - iie" said the man again as Jiwon only smiled faintly in response to his question.
"Li Xian oppa" called Jiwon as she stood beside Li Xian's bed.
"Be careful here, don't get hurt like this again, hem?" Said again.
"Ji, about that.."
"Let's forget it" Jiwon cut.
Li Xian lowered his head, "Mianhamda"
"Please promise, you'll love yourself more" Jiwon sat on the left side of the man's bed.
Li Xian did not respond to the girl's words and just focused on looking at Jiwon maybe this would be their last meeting. It seems that he has to give up on his feelings.
"I didn't understand myself when Manager An called me saying that you were in an accident and went into a coma yesterday I was really worried about you." Jiwon said again while looking down trying to find her own strength.
After a while he straightened his head back to look at the man in front of him. Her tears just escaped.
"Take care of yourself, oppa"
Li Xian tried to sit himself in Jiwon's aid.
"Of all your worries for me in the future I promise I will never again" he said.
The girl nodded, "Gomawo, I hope happiness is always with you, I say quickly healed" he concluded and passed after getting a nod from the handsome man.
That's enough, and it's done here.
I hope you find your happiness soon too.
Li Xian looked at Jiwon's already invisible back behind the door of her ward.
And it was always like this that he could not lie to his own heart now, like there was such an empty space in his heart to see the girl go.
...***...
Chanyeol stared at the screen of his phone with a picture of Jiwon there. He misses her so much after their meeting at the Cafe a week ago and Jiwon's plans to leave for New York but fails to get word that Li Xian had an accident that he did not meet the girl. Lately he is also busy training in the dorm for EXO's comeback mid-year.
Until finally after the intensive training, today he got a leave of absence for three days and decided to follow Jiwon to Shanghai as well as visit Li Xian. But after arriving he even saw something unpleasant.
(Flashback on)
"Chanyeol-iie, are you sure you don't want to be ushered in ?" Ask Kang Dong ha his friend and bodyguard who is currently serving in Shanghai and today picked him up at the airport.
"No need I just stop by for a while you just wait at the hotel it's okay to take a taxi" Chanyeol said.
Dong hapun nodded and got out of the car and drove a taxi. Chanyeol moved to the steering wheel to park his car.
It did not take long he immediately walked towards the hospital deliberately he overtook Jiwon without giving him the news first because he wanted to surprise besides that he was busy and did not have time to tell because his flight to Shanghai was sudden.
After getting information about Li Xian's ward from Li Xian's manager he immediately headed to his main destination.
VIP Room 121.
After confirming it was his room he immediately opened the door without knocking on it. But his legs stopped and stayed in place. Now his logic and heart seemed compact to hold him back from entering the room. He saw with his own eyes the girl he loved was hugging the patient he knew was Li Xian. He left when the girl realized his presence.
Why must this hurt ?
(Flashback off)
Is this really wrong?
Not entirely that girl...
Ahhe...
But, aren't they never related?
But, why should I hug, did Jiwon not think about her feelings ?
Then what does that girl say the other day, is she just being her impingement?
Chanyeol's hands clenched, returning a feeling of resentment enveloped him. But, what he could do to be angry with the girl just one day it felt like even weeks. Especially after what the girl said a week ago, she was angry with him. But today for the umpteenth time the girl seemed to drop her hope back.
(Flashback on)
"Wae ? You jealous?" Ask Chanyeol lightly.
The girl nodded "I have a right?"
The girl's words made Chanyeol look at her in shock.
"Don't you ever like me?" Jiwon asked, making Park's man's heart seem to want to jump out of place.
"You said what, aishh" Chanyeol tried to divert his attention from the girl but Jiwon's hand had already grabbed her face to keep her looking.
"My answer?" Jiwon.
"You still like me, don't you, Park Chanyeol?" Jiwon asked again while Chanyeol was still diving into the girl's eyeballs.
Both of them dissolved in that gaze for a moment.
"Will I ruin our friendship if I tell you the truth?" Chanyeol asked without taking her eyes off her favorite eyeballs.
Right now what he feared his friendship would be ruined just like that just because of his own selfishness. Honestly, he could not be far from Jiwon all this time he was accustomed to the existence of the girl and no doubt the girl always had the best place in his heart.
"It looks like we've both destroyed it" Jiwon said which made Chanyeol frown.
"I, what ma.." the man was speechless.
"It seems like I've also broken my own words to forget that" Jiwon said.
"Kim Jiwon...?"
The girl smiled, "If I wish your feelings for me were still the same as three years ago, would I have ruined Chan's friendship?"
Park Chanyeol did not answer his mind was still busy digesting what Jiwon had just said.
Did he not hear wrong?
That girl wishes her feelings were still the same as three years ago?
So, uh,..
"Park Chanyeol, mian looks like I ruined everything too." the girl bowed.
"Ji, can I do it?" Chanyeol's question made Jiwon look up slightly at Chanyeol who was also looking at her deeply.
His gaze dimmed until a gentle sweep touched the girl's lips.
"Nothing has changed including my feelings for you" she made a red hue on Jiwon's cheek and again she brought her face closer.
(Flashback off)
He breathed in trying to calm himself. Can't continue like this, he can't always expect Jiwon if the girl has not fully given her feelings.
Maybe it is also time he had to let go, if in the end they might not be allowed together for more than friends.
No need to push, Jiwon does not have to sacrifice her own feelings and maybe this is the best decision.
Release Jiwon.
Until Jiwon opened the door of Chanyeol's car she tried to smile at him.
"Chan, mianhamda" he said after sitting in the passenger seat, his face was not calm.
"There's no need to apologize I can understand, after all I think I'm going too fast..."
"Hajimal" Jiwon cut.
"I won't sue you for anything Ji, I've decided you can stay here longer until he's completely healed I know you're worried about him right ?"
Jiwon shakes.
"I'll be back in Korea this afternoon, and I won't bother you with those stupid questions anymore, I'll be asking.." said Chanyeol bated when Jiwon suddenly kissed her lips.
Unknowingly her tears just trickled down as the girl kissed her whether it was happy tears or sadness.
He also did not understand what the girl was doing.
Whether it was a longing kiss or even a farewell, why now he was again made to worry about him after he decided not to expect it again.
It's too ambiguous for him, although it's undeniable that his heart is beating twice as fast.
He wanted.
Kim Jiwon's.
Companions.
At Once His Love.
He grabbed Jiwon by the nape and replied that he did not care now if this was going to be a farewell. Right now he just wants the girl to know that he really loves her. That only girl was the only reason of all that he had fought for all this time. Convince her that she's the only woman who can't make her turn to another woman. Although if this is going to be the last time they are together, or maybe the last time they meet.
...***...
...Will it continue or break up?...
