Love Without Time Limits

Love Without Time Limits
CHAPTER 1: THE VICTORY THAT DOES NOT COME


"drrttt...drrttt.." the sound of an alarm rang in the small room that Eun Seung occupied. He has lived in a residential area not far from the university. It had been two years, he decided to rent a small place away from his family. He does not want to burden his family now. He was old enough to live alone and not be fixated on his parents.


Eun Seung searches for her phone, wakes up and turns off the alarm on her phone. His eyes were still closed, he still had not gathered his soul to come to his senses. The clock shows at 7am on the wall right in front of Eun Seung waking up. Slowly his memory began to come back. The competition held at his university made him lose his mind. He dared to say that in front of everyone.


"akkhhhhh."ssesal Eun Seung dropped his body on the bed. He couldn't think after what he did yesterday. He's just shy and shy. 'what's wrong with champion three, it's a proud achievement instead.' he thought later. He held his head to think clearly. '...but the champion of three for five times in a row is his name...' Eun Seung drowned.


"i'm ashamed.." she said softly. He grabbed the phone next to him. A message is written on the screen notification. Kim Soo Ra's. He opened it.'.hey, Eun Seung. You all right? Your seal is on me. Come here, if you need it...'. Eun Seung did not reply, he closed the phone screen and hid behind a blanket. He rushed to wash his face and went to his campus to attend lectures at 9.


Eun Seung is ready to go to college. Simple clothes make her look comfortable when she wears them. Curly hair, he let it run down moving here and there following the direction of his body. His shaky steps made him very lazy today.


"hi, Eun Seung.."a young, tall, well-dressed man, sat next to Eun Seung who was waiting for the bus. The fragrance of her perfume was all around her. Eun Seung knows who he is.


"Seo Woon, oppa...!!" Eun Seung exclaimed in surprise to see the older brother of the class was beside him. He just smiled, as soon as Eun Seung's upset mind disappeared in an instant. That man is the antidote. The man who had accompanied him for two years, a different generation brother majored with him. The brief meeting only started from a baker competition held at the university. One of their organizers was this handsome man. It keeps Eun Seung close and puts his heart on her.


"i was on the bus, I met you here. Come on, the bus has stopped..." Seo Woon got up from her seat, she thrust her hand at Eun Seung to come with her. Eun Seung smiled in greeting. They boarded the bus, attached ticket tap kits and looked for empty seats. As the situation calmed down, the driver began to slowly walk towards the next stop.


Suddenly Seo Woon gave him a canned drink. Eun Seung was still surprised, he accepted it with a still doubtful face.


"thank you, oppa...!!" Eun Seung's smile is sumringah.


"five times yes, I gave this to you." said Seo Woon still remember the competition when Eun Seung was upset about occupying the top three. At that time, Seo Woon also calmed herself down.


"right, oppa still remembers it...!!"


"of course, I want you not to hear what they say. Just be yourself and keep fighting for what you want, Eun Seung.." A message was sent back by the man. He tried to get Eun Seung back in his spirit. Eun Seung just nodded. Acquiesced. Lots of advice from him all along. That's what makes Eun Seung continue to be unyielding. "...I want to give you this.." Seo Woon handed him a piece of paper. Eun Seung read it. The ArtBakery 2018 competition is back. This time not from the University but rather from the famous bakery in the city center. The main prize of the competition was a store building that had been unused for a long time. Sponsors of the event decided to buy a building as a first gift.


"wahh...!! The ArtBakery competition was held again." Eun Seung, who was interested in the announcement, said.


"i remember you, when I saw the announcement on the patch at one of the poles downtown. I hope you can follow him." said Seo Woon still watching Eun Seung holding the notice paper. Eun Seung just kept quiet not answering her question which he knew that the girl was starting to get back up in spirit. Seo Woon smiled beside him. Eun Seung just looked at her with a radiant face. It was quite clear on his face that he would enter that competition again.


**


"you are so ugly in this photo."tukas Soo Ra when he saw the photo of the baker's victory competition that had been printed in the University newspaper. Eun Seung's angry face was clearly plastered there.


"you won't understand, everyone attacked me with that name. How do I feel Soo Ra..." Eun Seung looked down lethargic, he was sad, whining like a child. "...akhhh I'm sad..." Eun Seung covered his face with both hands.


"but you're great, only this time you're against them. I salute you..." Soo Ra opens Eun Seung's hand that is covered in her face. He thrust out two thumbs of his so Eun Seung excited. Eun Seung saw Soo Ra like that. Makes himself a little calm.


"you're like Seo Woon who keeps lecturing me..." Eun Seung snorted in annoyance. He sipped the latte he ordered.


"it's spirit, not preaching. I'm sure Seo Woon is just like me. It gives you the courage to keep fighting. Eun Seung's. Fighting...!!" again Soo Ra clenched her right hand to show Eun Seung.


"yeah.iya.. I will be excited." Eun Seung said slowly, paying attention to the photo of the article in the University newspaper.


"wait a minute, are you still in touch with Seo Woon?" Soo Ra asks holding Eun Seung's hand to explain something to her. Eun Seung looked at her. Right, Soo Ra wants to know what happened. Why did Eun Seung meet her again. Eun Seung was nervous just staring at Soo Ra.


Seo Woon's. The man who made himself helpless. Eun Seung has long since put his heart to her. The friendly guy who always helped Eun Seung all this time. The initial meeting occurred when he participated in a baker competition.he was one of the committee there. Eun Seung does love it but when he starts to vent to express his feelings. Seo Woon moved away and looked close to another girl. I don't know what makes Seo Woon that way. Intentional or just a coincidence. Again Eun Seung's heart was broken by her. For a week he didn't go to college, didn't attend lessons and wasn't seen around Soo Ra. Everyone was looking for him, as was Seo Woon. The man doesn't understand what he's wrong with Eun Seung. Only Soo Ra knows, he becomes a container of sadness, Eun Seung's annoyance at Seo Woon. At that time Eun Seung promised not to meet Seo Woon and also stay away from those feelings. Soo Ra is the witness of Eun Seung's agreement. But now Eun Seung broke the agreement.


"no. I'm not related to him. I met him at the bus stop. He wants to take the bus. It wasn't me who approached her." Eun Seung replied very nervously. His eyes did not want to be seen by his best friend, he turned his eyes to the drink in front of him. Soo Ra kept staring at Eun Seung who was still nervous. The feeling for Seo Woon was still on him.


"you promised not to see her after finding out Seo Woon already had a boyfriend, didn't you !?" Tukas Soo Ra is a little disappointed with Eun Seung. In vain, he encouraged his friend to rise up as he is now.


"yes, I know. He just gave me this..." Eun Seung put his hand in his bag. Take something and give it to Soo Ra. He did not want to misunderstand her. A piece of paper was on there, Soo Ra took it.


"artbakery competition ?!!" Soo Ra was confused by the intent of the announcement.


"yes, the competition is held in the city center. The main prize is a shop house. You know, I'd love to have a cake shop..." Eun Seung explained.


"this is your chance. You can beat those two guys. Hide this paper, Eun Seung. I hope they don't see this..." Soo Ra gave a warning. Eun Seung nodded, hiding the paper into the bag.


"right, I won't fight them again. Fighting Soo Ra..." Eun Seung is back. He screamed and stretched out both hands. Soo Ra clenched both of his hands. "...I go first yeah" Eun Seung continued waking up from her seat. Soo Ra agrees, knowing that his best friend will look for a recipe that he will make later.


"i support you." Soo Ra shouted as Eun Seung began to tidy up his things.


"no, don't bring your friend again. You paid them to support me...!!" Eun Seung revealed, he knew that his supporters were paid by Soo Ra to win Eun Seung. Soo Ra just grimaced, not answering. He was just confused, Eun Seung could tell about it. The girl just passed by beside him. Leaving Soo Ra alone.


**


The 2016 ArtBakery competition was seen on Eun Seung's laptop screen as he opened it. A site featuring web pages for this year's ArtBakery competition. He is interested in entering this competition again. His spirit rekindled as he knew that the main prize for the competition this time was a shop house. Eun Seung wanted it for a long time. His hopes and dreams will soon be realized. He pays attention to the requirements contained on the site, reads it carefully and follows registration. The competition will be held in two weeks. Eun Seung started thinking about what he should prepare for in the competition.


"what should I prepare?" Eun Seung searched for recipes in her own book. The recipe he had created all this time was neatly copied there. There are 10 books that he has been working on so far. His dream is to become a famous baker. Dreams since childhood. Photos of his idol are on the walls of his room. The first successful cake recipe is also on display there.


The ArtBakery competition was not the first for him. When he was 15, he first followed it. Eun Seung's memories of the match 11 years ago.


"i should be able to.. I should be able to..." Little Eun Seung kept encouraging herself as she began to notice the maccarons cakes that were in the oven. After the sound of the oven sounded the alarm, he picked it up. Beautiful colors and fragrances decorate his maccaron cake. He was a little relieved, the cake he expected to look very beautiful. He decorated three maccarons on a plate and gave them to the jury.


"the cake is very tasty, soft when it's in the mouth, I like it.."Said the female judge to little Eun Seung. He smiled next to his mother who was with him.


"right, feels mint in the mouth.." Another jury added. Eun Seung smiled with relief at the fact that all the judges liked his maccarons.


"you will win, Eun Seung !!" I cried, too, glad to hear their words. Eun Seung nodded in agreement, his face happy to be followed by his mother who also supports the little girl. They were convinced that little Eun Seung would win today.


Several judges appear to be discussing determining the results in the ArtBakery competition in 2003. The results that will bring the winner get experience and a huge grand prize. One million won for the first champion of the competition. Big enough for a category of kids Eun Seung's age. This time the competition was split into two groups. Among adults with a high level of difficulty, as well as adolescents with a middle level. Eun Seung is having a medium hard time. This competition makes him even more challenged when the committee does not prepare the ingredients he needs and he must find a way how the macarons cake looks perfect. Eun Seung can do all of that. Previously he had practiced a lot to learn how to make the cake.


"ArtBakery's 2003 competition will soon end with the announcement of the competition's main winner. The middle-tier grand prize this time was a sum of one million won. Everyone must be curious, who is the winner who gets the prize of one million won. Get ready for you whom I call your name...." The female host continued to talk about the ArtBakery competition.


All the participants were nervous as the female host went silent to open the envelope containing the name of the winner. Dad held Eun Seung's hand tightly. Good and bad decisions are in the envelope. Hope and dreams become his one thought this time. Eun Seung's wish gives happiness to his family through this way.


"...Okay, for the first champion falls to.." the host continues to make Eun Seung's heart unable to calm down. His heart beat very quickly hearing the results of the jury's decision. Eun Seung locked the hand his father was holding, he started to close his eyes. First name started to be called. "... eun, here are two names that do include the top 5.." the host again makes Eun Seung feel anxious. The first name began to be called by the female host.


"Eun Woo, we invite you to come forward to take the one million won prize. During the time." shouted the female host making Eun Seung unable to breathe. Instantly he felt claustrophobic, his name not being summoned by that host. The name that should have won but not him. The name that Eun Seung's family expected to get the one million won prize. Eun Seung just kept quiet, stunned to see the man named Eun Woo was happy with his success.


"it's okay "father holds Eun Seung's shoulder calms him down. She also stroked Eun Seung's long hair.


"we invite Eun Woo, Jae Min, Hyung Do, Mimi and Eun Seung to come forward." the female host told all the winners to come forward.


"look, you're fifth out of 10 people in this competition. A sign that you've managed to beat everything, baby." mother's voice added. He lowered his head before Eun Seung telling him to look at the other participants who did not qualify for the competition. Eun Seung noticed everything. Many cried, some immediately left the show. "...so, now go. "mother told Eun Seung to come to the front of the stage.


"Eun Seung, I'll buy you anything you like. Now get on stage. They've been waiting for you." said father then told Eun Seung to go there. Eun Seung nodded slowly and started walking closer to the stage.


Eun Seung just kept quiet, he didn't smile much. After receiving the award, he went off stage and went home with his parents. He sat in the back seat of the car, putting all the presents next to himself. Look at those gifts. Hope and desire do not work. He expects too much. The shadow of him after winning was always in his mind. A lot of wishful thinking resulted in him being disappointed with the jury's decision. Along the way, Eun Seung said nothing to his father and mother. He lost the feeling to talk to them about anything. But suddenly, there was a shock from their car. A few gifts nudged him tempting to open. He saw the cup and the prize beside him. Slowly he opened the gifts. A school bag is seen inside the gift wrapper. There was a protruding one there, a pink envelope. He took it and opened it. A little neat writing looks there.


'you must fight to the champion, for I will give you this again. See you next year...'


Eun Seung smiled at the message. Hope came back to him. Right, next year they will hold this competition again. He has to face the competition again until that day comes.


"dad, my mother will enter this competition again next year." Eun Seung said back in spirit. Dad, his mom just smiled. The shadowy father of his mother is in front of Eun Seung at this time. Eun Seung joined in smiling, he had re-realized if he was 28 years old in 2018.


Eun Seung put the message into an envelope. He did keep it, a chain message while participating in the competition. Strange indeed, only the ArtBakery competition got the message. Twice he got the champion, twice he got the message. I don't know who made it. But it keeps Eun Seung excited about the baker championship and this year she hopes to be the first champion and discover who keeps giving her the passion to fight back.


'You should be first, I will wait for you...'


**


"you gave a statement that they were wrong...!?" Hei Ji's voice surprised Seung Ho who was concocting – ingredients in his kitchen counter. He just nodded, giving his friend an answer. "...si number three, it often makes you trouble." he continued.


Seung Ho just kept quiet, he recalled the events in the competition yesterday.


"i don't want to get a title like this either...!!!" Eun Seung cried out and just passed between them.


"heiii, Eun Seung if you leave here. You'll be disqualified.."one of the organizers yelled at him. Eun Seung didn't care about it, he kept walking, leaving everyone out of the building.


"fell me, Eun Seung you're just adding to the problem..." Joon Young covered his face. Seung Ho just noticed that.


"wait a minute, before you make that decision it is better to ask one of your officials first." said Seung Ho gave a firm statement, all the organizers pay attention to Seung Ho. He was surprised that Seung Ho could talk like that. The event that had been smooth, ended with an unpleasant attitude. All winners go off stage without being asked by the event host. The competition just ended. Everyone was asked to disperse by one of the organizers, all of whom just left with a sense of disappointment.


Seung Ho returned to smiling to himself, he felt that there was nothing wrong with his decision at that time. The competition event held every year at the University will probably be the last year for them. The good name of the committee will decline and no sponsors will support the event.


"you're suspended for defending number three, aren't you!?" Heiji approached Seung Ho who was at the counter. He tasted Seung Ho's pastries.


"i don't care, you know. It is likely that this competition will no longer exist in the university..."


"why ? You're not gonna follow him again?"


"yes, maybe this incident could cost them some income and I should focus on the final exam..."


"basic, I don't think of it that way.." Seung Ho replied, giving his friend a drink. They sat together in the counter chair.


"so you don't choose between them. Many expressed their feelings for you, but none of them you saw !!" Heiji took the canned drink and opened it.


"i don't want to be with them..." Seung Ho gulped down his drink. A girl he used to love, a girl who made him love cake. That's what makes him, always trying and hoping to meet the girl again.


"you only love bread, nothing else." led by Heiji, he patted the man on the shoulder. Seung Ho saw it, he just smiled, without answering. His friend moved to the sofa. Dropped himself and slept there. Seung Ho smiled again, right all this time he only practiced making bread and bread that always accompanied him every day. He fell in love with bread. Perhaps that was what caused her to miss that nameless girl. With bread, he felt close to her. Seung Ho again smiled, Heiji's words kept ringing his mind making him feel happy.


**


Eun Seung keeps stirring – stirring his homemade cake batter, he is practicing at his home. The competition will be held for three more days, which is why Eun Seung continues to train and take time off in his lecture.


"are you training again ?" Soo Ra's voice suddenly sounded in front of the main door, he came to Eun Seung's house at this time.


"this way, I'm struggling to get the store house." said Eun Seung who is now at the main door allowing Soo Ra to enter. Soo Ra just smiled, Eun Seung is a hard worker. He is tireless to fight. Seen from his aprons that are very covered with flour, a tangled face, and messy hair. He doesn't care about his appearance. "...have you brought what I asked for?" Eun Seung added again helping Soo Ra bring her things.


"yes, it's already here."pointing Soo Ra and giving it to Eun Seung. Today Soo Ra wants to stay at Eun Seung's house, Eun Seung's pastries are a lot. He knew that his friend was training, that there was plenty of food available. "... Uuh, how long have you not bathed, your body smells of sweat...!" Soo Ra feels an unpleasant smell on Eun Seung's body when the girl picks up her things.


"today I'm going to take a shower, after I make this all up." Eun Seung said leaving Soo Ra, he ran towards his kitchen and picked up the flour from the bag. Soo Ra just shook his head, he walked towards the living room. Where is one place with a bed. Everything is a mess, Soo Ra knows that his best friend will not care about his room if it is close to competition. Soo Ra slowly cleaned things up.


"Eun Seung, do you know Seung Ho's kang house or Joon Young's cha?" Soo Ra's voice screamed a little so Eun Seung heard from the next room.


"no. Why with?" Eun Seung replied from the side room.


"you know, along the way here's the announcement of the competition.." Soo Ra is a little nervous, if his best friend's opponent is in the competition again, Eun Seung will lose.


"huh !! Also true. Tomorrow, I have to make sure.." Eun Seung said later. Soo Ra just saw it filled with confusion. What does Eun Seung mean?.


**


"Seung Ho, you see. The number three was looking at you from afar." said hei ji telling him the strangeness that happened to him. He is indeed very sensitive to things like this, has been friends with Seung Ho for 3 years. He could tell who was secretly watching his friend. Seung Ho looks back, Eun Seung again covers himself with the book. "what's wrong with the boy...?" Continue to hei ji who keeps whispering to him. Seung Ho, too, is confused. Why does the woman keep looking at her.


"already, I have to go to the library.." Said Seung Ho tidying up his things, rushing to leave.


"heii, I haven't finished eating ramyun yet." said hei ji who was surprised, seeing Seung Ho waking up from his seat.


"take care, later." Seung Ho replied with a pat on hei ji's shoulder, he just left. Hei ji just looked at it, he hurriedly finished the food right in front of him.


"haiii.." said a girl who suddenly sat in front of hei ji. A girl who had been talking about earlier, now sat up to reprimand hei ji who was alone.


"you, number three...!!" Hei ji was surprised, he slightly choked on the food that was already in his mouth. Eun Seung snorted annoyedly at hearing her name on the call like that. Hei Ji did not see the change in Eun Seung's face, he just focused on taking a drink beside and then gulped it down.


"hey, I want to ask you...?" Eun Seung's voice then noticed heiji who already looked calm. Heiji. "...do you know, Seung Ho's kang show is this weekend.." Eun Seung's whisper slowly leaned his body between the tables, approaching the heiji food.


"why are you asking !?" Heiji suspected that a girl who had never been close to him had never even chatted with him was now asking about Seung Ho's life. Eun Seung fixed his body to its original position, stretching his back.


"i. I want to offer Seung Ho kang a job at my uncle's place." Eun Seung said nervously.


"i know Seung Ho has been working part-time every weekend." hei ji replied, sipping on his hot noodles.


"really !! Then I'm not offering it. I go first, thanks for the information.." Eun Seung's voice started to rise, he was really happy to hear the news. A chance that he will win in that competition. Eun Seung passed by just like that, leaving hei ji who was still eating her ramyun noodles.


**


"Hufft..." said Eun Seung leaned back on the sofa near his university. Soo Ra who is busy typing writing on her laptop is disturbed by Eun Seung's sudden arrival. He sees some announcement posters brought by Eun Seung and puts them on the table.


"make what, that many posters !!" Soo Ra's exclaim, who stopped his activities, still paid attention to Eun Seung.


"i picked it up at the power pole so that people wouldn't join the show." Eun Seung replied still looking tired from his face.


"you took everything ?! This one region !!!" Soo Ra is shocked at his friend's behavior. He closes his laptop and sees Eun Seung nodding sweetly and sipping his ordered drink.


"i hope tomorrow, I'll win...!!" Eun Seung is happy, he continues to imagine tomorrow, when his name is called the winner of the competition. He has not been in that competition for a long time.


"i have some good news for you. Cha Joon Young, this weekend is going out of town. Your competitors can finally be missed." Soo Ra tells him a secret. Eun Seung was surprised to see it.


"you talk to him?"


"yes, I pretended to ask her out. But he turned me down, said he was going out of town to meet his grandmother. You know, Joon Young's cha was so innocent, he was really fooled by what I said." Soo Ra told me when he met him at the university library. Eun Seung shook his head hearing Soo Ra show his talent. He just found out that his best friend is good at theatrics, maybe he was carried away by the character he would make. During this time, Eun Seung sees Soo Ra is just a nerdy girl with a laptop and a book in her hand. He did not think that his best friend could be relied on.


"it's been seen from his face, it's like that..." Eun Seung replied. He knew the number two man looked innocent, cheerful, had many friends but never once did he see the woman beside him. That was all he knew about the man. "...huh !! I just remembered...!!" Eun Seung suddenly remembered something.


"what? What's up?"


"kang Seung Ho won't take part in the competition. I asked Heiji that he would work part-time every week. It's a sign that tomorrow I will win hahaha." Eun Seung replied with a laugh. He's very happy. The burden was gone, he could focus on pursuing what he dreamed.


"yeaay. Eun Seung's spirit. I have to prepare everything to support you..." Soo Ra is sure that his best friend will win. Eun Seung nodded confidently.


**


Eun Seung's steps get faster as he walks towards the hallway of his university campus. The lesson hour had already finished, only that he wanted to head to the library to return the book he had borrowed. He has to hurry home to prepare fully for tomorrow's competition.


"yes, I have to return the book first in the library. Go home first..." Eun Seung hangs up from Soo Ra, Usually they go home together, which is why his best friend calls him. Not yet at the library door, he saw a man standing there. Looking at Eun Seung from a distance. Waiting for him to get in front of him.


"Kang Seung Ho...!!" Call Eun Seung slowly, he is surprised that the man is waiting for him.


"i just wanted to tell you something, I can't accept your offer to work. I'm sorry...!!" Seung Ho said without further ado, he said what he wanted to convey to Eun Seung. Offers to work at his uncle's place. Maybe heiji told him.


Eun Seung smiled, looking at Seung Ho who was frank to him. He really doesn't have the heart of Seung Ho like that. His offer is well received by him and makes him meet with Eun Seung at this time.


"ahhhhh.. Its alright. Next time...!!" Eun Seung replied casually. Seung Ho just kept quiet. Not smiling. He just lowered his head and left just like that to leave Eun Seung. He was leaving. Eun Seung really couldn't help but laugh. He covered his face, laughing at what he was doing. Maybe this is wrong, but not for the competition. Eun Seung's plan was just a lie. He did not have an uncle who worked in a cake shop. He just wanted to make sure that his opponent did not enter the competition.


"thankfully, if you already have a job." Eun Seung said slowly watching Seung Ho's tall body continue to walk towards the hallway, he was already away from him.


**


The ArtBakery 2016 competition is about to begin. It's been a waiting day for Eun Seung all this time. It is only with this competition that Eun Seung continues to fight for his dreams. His dream became a famous baker. The spring wind blew between them. The cool air made Eun Seung excited this morning. She chose to wear comfortable clothes. All her needs were in her bag. Soo Ra also helps, making her own needs to support Eun Seung. All Eun Seung's trinkets, she carries them in her bag.


"finally up...!!" Eun Seung cheered as he got off the bus and stopped at the county stop where the competition was held.


"hey, Eun Seung. It wasn't Seo Woon oppa." Soo Ra pointed with her eyes to give Eun Seung the direction to look at the other side. Eun Seung saw it. It was true, a handsome man walked up to the two of them.


"oppa.." said Eun Seung slowly, he was still surprised the man wanted to come to support him.


"hi.." said Seo Woon to give a wave of hands to all of them.


"what are you doing here...?" Eun Seung asked, turning his eyes in the other direction.


"i came to support you. I know, you'll be in this competition again." Seo Woon replied casually. It is true that Seo Woon's decision to tell this competition was indeed correct. Eun Seung is back in spirit and he can get what he dreamed of.


Eun Seung smiled, he has two supporters now. Although he did not ask Seo Woon, the man understood that Eun Seung currently needed a supporter. Soo Ra saw it. Eun Seung's face was cheerful again, there was someone who gave his best friend a chance to compete again. He's confused. Should thank him or be upset because of his attitude like this. Secretly supporting Eun Seung and secretly injuring Eun Seung. Soo Ra has another reason to be upset with him. He knew a lot that this man had failed his best friend.


"well okay. I will be excited because you guys have come to support me." Eun Seung shouted assuring everyone that he could do his best. Soo Ra clenched her hands, giving her spirit. Eun Seung smiled, he walked first, leading them towards the venue.


"you want to support him? Alright.. Here, you hold one of them..." Soo Ra gives Eun Seung's photo knick knick to Seo Woon.


"you don't like me being here, do you !?" Seo Woon said, she knew that Soo Ra had only given a bad look to the man. He realized.


"already, use this as Eun Seung's support." Soo Ra replied switching the conversation over. The man received all the knickknacks made by Soo Ra.


"Eun Seung, wait a minute...!!" Call Soo Ra running towards Eun Seung who has started to stay away from her.


**


The ArtBakery competition banner in 2016 was installed between the entrances, initiating the arrival of the competition participants. Many bazaars sponsors supported the event. The competition is back this year. It's been eleven years, Eun Seung has never been here. He was with his parents and now he is with his best friend. Eun Seung watches the surroundings, memories that were once again created. Shadow when he only occupied the top 10 champions. The shadow when he started the first competition, the shadow when making cakes, all became one in Eun Seung's memory. Not much has changed, only the staff and committee have changed, with the times or new employees. Eun Seung doesn't know her.


He stepped his foot toward the re-registration site in the corner, where he currently stands. With fiery footsteps, he approached the place. An old man was waiting for the place. But suddenly the place was covered by a tall man standing in front of them. A participant who will register himself for the competition. Eun Seung ran over, approaching them. But a glance now disturbed him, he stopped his steps. Eun Seung knows that kind of posture. He knew, though disguised, but his mind declared that he knew this man. His thoughts and hopes were not united. He hoped that the man was not what he thought. But his view could not lie. That's such a reality.


Eun Seung is still staring at the man. At once, the man turned his body. Surprised to see Eun Seung and vice versa. What Eun Seung thought came true. His view was not wrong to see the man. Someone who became his opponent competed with him again. The man he hated was in front of him now. Like a lightning strike that makes Eun Seung's heart beat fast. He gulped, unable to speak. His desire is only one. Eun Seung doesn't want her here.


"Eun Seung...!!" The man slowly called his name.
