Maybe I Love You
36. Attention of Friends

Sena will close the door to her room but was held by the hands of Jaeha who suddenly appeared, when Jaeha entered Sena could not prohibit him. He wanted to drive Jaeha out of his room or even go home but he was lazy to talk.

Sena prefers to go to the balcony for a breath of fresh air, but Sena's body is drawn back into the room.

Sena stared dislikefully at Jaeha for disturbing his composure, “Sena why don't you talk if you're going to Grandma's house? You worry me, not just me but Aunt Hanmi and Uncle Bong too.”

Sena did not answer, her eyes looking out as if she had not heard what Jaeha had said. “Sena I'm here, I asked you, I'm talking to you Sena!”

“you yell at me?”

“no not so, at least look at me, answer my question.”

“why do I always have to go to you where am I going? You just never told me, why should I tell you? I'm tired of hearing that question from you and I'm tired of giving you the same answer.”

“what did I do wrong? You're acting weird on me like never before.”

“I told you you weren't wrong!” Sena released Jaeha's hand which was holding his shoulder.

“well, I'll tell you all my schedule.everything I do, where I'm going and what I'm doing, I'll tell you everything, but you have to do the same thing, you have to tell me where you're going you have to let me know first.”

“you're gonna do that? are you sure you're gonna tell me everything? Honestly?”

The deg!

Like there was a blow to Jaeha's heart when he heard Sena's question. Be honest?

“I will do it.”

“cih, I'm not sure, I don't believe.” Sena walked towards the door, “Already, I don't need everything you talked about earlier!” Sena invited Jaeha to come out of her room.

“why should I get out?”

“this is my room, I want to rest for a while. You coming here makes me dizzy.”

Jaeh walked over to Sena, but instead of coming out Jaeha even carried Sena and threw his body on the mattress.

“what are you doing?! I told you to get out!”

Jaeha climbed onto the bed, he immediately slept beside Sena while wrapping his hands around her waist.

“i also need rest.” The man's eyes are now closed, “his anger will be again, hm? Let me sleep, I'm tired too. I didn't sleep all night because there was a problem in the office, my head was also dizzy.”

Jaeha increasingly close himself to Sena's body as well as his embrace, Sena can not dwell. Although he was angry, he still had a sense of unbearability for Jaeha. That's what he doesn't like about himself right now.

“ alright but don't hug me like this. You make me breathless.”

Silence, no answer.

“Jaeha?” Sena could hear that Jaeha was already snoring which meant that the man had fallen asleep, had gone to dreamland. Sena stared at Jaeha's face for quite a while, occasionally she smiled a little somehow she thought, her face approached for some reason she wanted to kiss Jaeha's forehead back then but she hesitated, what if Jaeha woke up? What if Jaeha just pretended to sleep? He who would be ashamed of himself after that he was angry at Jaeha. But his desire was too strong, he ended up kissing the forehead gently this was his first time for him having never done this to Minho before.

‘Jaeha, can I... love you?’.

Sujin picks up Hyunjae at the airport, and is happy that Hyunjae is willing to take the time to attend his parents' wedding anniversary party. As soon as Hyunjae saw Sujin, the man immediately stretched out his arms, without waiting any longer, Sujin ran and then went into Hyunjae's arms.

“how was your trip?” tanya Sujin was still in Hyunjae's arms hugging her tightly.

“I think the plane will crash because of bad weather.”

Sujin hit Hyunjae's back, the man complained, “what are you talking about?! Don't say it like that! I could've kept you from going abroad again!”

“all right, forgive me. We're leaving now?”

Sujin looked at Hyunjae's gently smiling face at her, “kajja!” Hyunjae grabs Sujin's hand, grasps it tightly and puts it in his coat pocket.

“why in korea so cold?”

“seeah, outside snowing.” Sujin pointed to the circumstances outside the airport, the white grains began to descend from the sky. “You eat first? Which is warm-warm?” sujin asked as she continued to struggle spoiled in Hyunjae's arms, as if there were only the two of them at the airport.

Sujin chuckles amusedly, “mwoya~ kajja! We're nostalgic!”

Before returning home they stopped by the Sundubu-jiggae restaurant, which was their first place on a date.The place where Hyunjae was convinced that he really loved Sujin. They choose the same place, the same sitting position, even the same menu, soft tofu soup with seafood.

“still the same.” Hyunjae said while looking around

Sujin also did the same, “right, there are only changes there.” Sujin pointed at the back corner, Sujin said that he often came here with Sena if there was time.

“ah right, what about our friend's life?” hyunjae asked as he stared at the bowl full of newly arrived Sundubu. “kamsahamnida.”

“masitge deuseyo.” Said the waiter

“it looks like they have a problem, but I don't know. Maybe also now it's better,” Sujin try the sauce first, “watnya.”

“what problem?” Hyunjae also followed

“that time I contacted Sena, asking about donations from makeup sales but Jaeha who raised it, I asked Jaeha to tell Sena to contact me again. Two days after that I called Sena, asked her why she didn't call me, but Sena said when I called her?”

“can Jaeha forgot to tell Sena.”

“noah, it could also be anyway. I don't know what's right, but I think Sena's hiding something.”

“then why didn't you ask? Ask him, who knows he also needs friends to vent.” Hyunjae stored the pieces of kimchi into Sujin's rice bowl

“i still do not dare to ask, usually without asking the child will by itself tell a story.”

“try you ask, if Sena has a problem you must be a good listener, if you do not have at least you have tried to care. Now we eat first. But.. try to invite Sena to come to the party, who knows she is willing to come.”

“good.”

A few minutes later they finally finished eating the most favorite dish in this restaurant, Sujin left Hyunjae to go to the restroom, the man called the waiter to pay.

“I want to order two soups of soft tofu kimchi, spicy.”

Hyunjae looked to the left side, he felt familiar with the man's voice.

“at eat here or take home?”

“taken home” the man handed over his menu list

“Dongha!” the man named Dongha looked towards the source of the voice, his mouth gaping in shock seeing his best friend Hyunjae was in the same place as him.

“Hyunjae!” Dongha switched places, he approached Hyunjae who was already standing waiting for him. The two men hugged each other, they let go of each other because they had not met for a long time.

“very coincidence! you healthy?!”

“this is a happy coincidence! Sure was! you alone?” their embrace is released

“looks?” Dongha laughed happily, they finally sat face to face.

“you've met Jaeha?” ask Dongha

“yet, I just got back from Italy. You alone? You must have met Jaeha a lot!”

“I have a time when Jaeha is busy, Jaeha has a time I am busy. When we both had time, we were lazy to go out. Moreover, Jaeha is now married, he must be more at home lah.” Both of them smiled meaningfully.

“tapi..”.

“but what?” ask Hyunjae curiously

“you still remember Helena right?”

“of course, I still remember. She's Jaeha's first love. Why?”

“you must have known he disappeared since the plane crash?” Hyunjae nodded, he knew about it because he was with Jaeha when he heard the news of the accident. “in your opinion, is Helena still alive? Or is he dead?”

“why are you asking like that? suddenly discuss Helena anyway.”

“whether my vision is wrong or how, I feel seeing Helena! Here in Korea, in Seoul!”

“hope of life must be small, the victims of plane accidents rarely survive, either occur at sea let alone on land, except for a miracle. But you're sure it's Helena? You're not wrong people?”

“noah, I... also not sure. I couldn't see it clearly because there were so many people. It's been a long time since we met Helena, I'm sure maybe my vision was wrong.”

“but, Dongha..” Dongha looked at Hyunjae, “if... if Helena was alive and she was right here in Korea in Seoul.

“who's Helena?!” Sujin was already standing beside the two of them.
