Not flowers or anything else Sohyun wanted.


He just wants Jihoon by his side, forever.


Sohyun did not care about what had happened two years ago. Sohyun did not care if the youth was so dark that it made him a different person.


Enough Doyoung to leave him for good. Sohyun did not want Jihoon to do the same to him.


Why her love story should go so complicated. Two people he loved left him in a cruel way.


Doyoung died in an accident two years ago. Going away without saying goodbye and leaving a deep enough regret for Sohyun.


Regretting that Sohyun could not be a good lover for Doyoung, even after learning that Doyoung had died, Sohyun still loved Jihoon, not Doyoung.


Jihoon leaves her to be with another woman. A woman much older than him.


Sohyun did not understand. If Jihoon did feel sorry for him, why would Jihoon have to make him fall in love in such a strange way?


Sohyun grabbed his wand and came down from his ward. He believes Jihoon is not far from the hospital area.


With a limp step, Sohyun wandered down the hospital hallway, entering the elevator alone.


Sohyun did not care about the cries of the sisters who asked him to stop. Sohyun wanted to meet Jihoon and resolve the misunderstanding between the two of them.


•••


Jihoon was still in the park near the hospital. Sit on the chair with a straight forward look.


Her eyes were swollen, her cheeks wet from her tears.


His legs were too limp to go further and further. Even his hands were numb so that when lifted to stop the taxi he could not do.


Jihoon quiet. Thinking back to the sentence after sentence that he had heard just a moment ago.


Sohyun loved her, but Jihoon hurt her the same way.


Plus one thing that made it worse. Jihoon had accepted Lia as his fiancee.


Certainly not an easy decision to take by Jihoon. Her marriage to Lia has concerned the self-esteem of her father and mother.


This time the match is much different from Nakyung and Woojin's match. They were set up to join two big companies.


But, uh,


Jihoon's marriage was with Lia this time because the woman who asked and threatened Jihoon's father used the corruption data he got some time ago.


It doesn't seem fair why bad things keep happening to her. Why destiny cannot let him be happy and calm with his loved ones.


“Ji?!”


A woman touched Jihoon's shoulder, making the black-blasted young man turn his head. The woman was sitting right next to Jihoon, her maniknya staring at the look on Jihoon's face.


“You why? you crying?” ask Lia.


Jihoon shook his head. 


“I just don't feel well.”


Lia quiet. Watching around.


Lia realized that Jihoon was in the park near the hospital. “Are you okay?


“I broke up with Sohyun.”


“Really?” ask Lia. Jihoon looked at Lia, smiling obliquely at the reaction Lia had shown him.


Nothing is strange. The woman looked very happy to hear the good news; only for Lia. The beautiful woman tried her hardest to hide her happy smile.


It wasn't Park Jihoon's name if he didn't know the meaning of Lia's current facial features.


It was very desirable for Jihoon to push the woman into the middle of the street at this time.


If not for the threat that the woman gave Jihoon would not have been anywhere near Lia for quite a long time.


“Smile if you want!” Jihoon threw his gaze straight ahead.


Lia smiled thinly. He followed Jihoon's gaze forward and rested his back on the back of the chair.


“So what are you going to do now? You received this matchmaking?”


Jihoon remained silent for a few seconds before finally opening his mouth to make a sound. “No.” he replied while shaking his head.


Lia was shocked. He looked at Jihoon.


“I could probably say no. But you know much better how my father would fight for a crazy matchmaking because of you.”


“Ck.” Lia clucking. He fixed his position, slashed the distance between himself and Jihoon, his face getting closer until a few more stops his lips touching Jihoon's lips.


Her beautiful bead looked at Jihoon's lips before hers. He smiled cynically.


“I'll fight for you.”


“Do you want to hang out with people who never loved you?”


“If that man is you why should I give up.”


“You're crazy.”


Lia shook her head small. He approached and kissed Jihoon's lips.


Just a brief kiss. No complaints and demands want more.


“More crazy where am I or are you?” said Lia. “You left him while he asked you to stay.”


Jihoon.


His footsteps stopped in the middle of the road. Although he had difficulty walking using a cane, he finally there stopped, gathering his strength to step back or


Surrender.


Because Sohyun saw Jihoon there kissing a woman.


Sohyun was sure that the woman was Lia.


Jihoon's fiancee.


•••


Everything came back as it was.


Like the world of Jihoon who returned to sad.


Jihoon the devil. He has returned.


The guy just spends his time in class and on the rooftop. Occasionally take a sip of his cigarette when his mind starts to go awry. Or he will go to the bar for alcohol drinks that are always ordered.


Playing with women is one of his obligations. Although she's getting engaged to Lia. Jihoon did not stop playing with women at the bar, occasionally he even invited his toys to sleep together.


If Jihoon returns to his true self, it is different from Sohyun. He remains the first Sohyun to set foot in Seoul.


He tries to befriend destiny. Allowing himself to flow on the leaves that move on the clear water, where the purpose of the water flowed Sohyun just wanted to follow him.


Complaining and crying won't make things go back to normal. That was what Sohyun always emphasized in his life.


Sohyun tries to be happy and forgets what happened in his life. She is not alone, there is Joy, Woojin and her mother who stay with her. Help him to rise up in his current clutter.


Joy and Woojin never stop making Sohyun forget his sadness. There were so many ways that they did until Sohyun had no idea where they got those ways from.


One season has passed. The beginning of the third year students are busy with studying and facing national examinations.


At times like this the library is the most crowded place visited by third-graders.24 hours the place is never empty of students who want to learn.


No exception Sohyun.


He had been visiting the place for a week and studied in the corner seat near the window. For Sohyun the place was very comfortable to study and sleep.


When he started to get tired of learning, sleep was the choice he took. Why force the brain to learn if your body is struggling to rest.


Just like Sohyun did at the moment. He fell asleep with both hands folded into pads. His face was seen shining due to the sunlight that pierced the window glass.


Silent.


Being one of the places that made Sohyun sleep well. There was no noise he got while he was at school or on his way home.


The library is very quiet.


A black shadow suddenly appeared, blocking the sunlight hitting Sohyun's face. Sohyun moved in his sleep, his brows that were tangled up from being uncomfortable with the sunlight slowly disappearing.


After blocking the sunlight, the man placed the strawberry milk on the table, close to the pile of thick books.


No action after that. The person remained silent there while blocking the light using his hands.


The wind blew, moving the white curtain that had been silent since.


As the curtain moved, Sohyun opened his eyelids. Her eyes refracted the light entering her retina.


Sohyun. He fixed his position.


His sleep time seems to be enough. He had to go back to learning and then go home.


“Jeez I have to wash my face.” Sohyun moved from his seat. However, before he stepped Sohyun saw strawberry milk placed on his desk.


She smiled sweetly.


;


“Where are you?” woojin asked as she watched her twin brother walk up the stairs.


Jihoon stopped stepping, he looked down at Woojin below him. “From home Daniel Hyung.”


Woojin nodded slowly.


“Have heard anything?” ask Woojin. His legs were raised towards the navy-colored long sofa.


Jihoon turned. The initial intention of wanting to enter his room should he ponder when he heard a curious question from his brother.


“What?” Jihoon walked over to Woojin.


“About your engagement date with Lia.”


“Hah~”


Jihoon threw his body on the long sofa. His eyes closed three seconds later, and Jihoon turned to look at Woojin next to him.


“I know. After the exam.”


“What did you do then? You can't possibly continue, right?”


“Ji. If you don't want this engagement, tell me about your father or mother.”


Jihoon shook his head slowly, then let out a short sigh. “It's useless. Dad will stick to his establishment because this is the problem of his beloved company.”


Woojin quiet. Her manic noticed Jihoon's goal-wish.


The man next to her looks messed up. It's even more chaotic than what Woojin saw when Jihoon was drunk.


“Can I ask?”


“Sure.”


“Are you going to let Sohyun find someone else?”


“Do you intend to occupy that position?”


“Ya...” replied Woojin who suddenly got a sharp gaze from Jihoon. “But, Sohyun never allowed me to enter his heart. He loves you and waits for you.”


“...”


“Today I could have seen him smile and laugh very wide. But, I know she did that covering up her sadness.”


“...”


“Four months he did the thing that made him hurt twice what happened in his life.”


Jihoon quiet.


He turned his attention to the lighted tv.


“If you love her then go after her, make her come back to you.”


“I don't want.”


Jihoon. Looking at Woojin with his flat eyes.


“I'll hurt him if make him come back with me.”


;


Guvets


The long tail of the brown dog was wagging upwards. Sohyun laughed crisply at Dongbi's adorable behavior when he found out he had just returned home.


Sohyun squatted, aligning his height with his son.


“You waiting for eomma? Uhh sweetness,” Sohyun kissed Dongbi's forehead gently before she got up and walked inside her flat.


Sohyun took off his shoes and put them on the shoe.


“I'm home.”


“What noona brings my order?” ask the boy who is enjoying it.


Sohyun rolled his eyes lazily. Instead of being warmly welcomed he was reminded of the promises he made.


Sohyun threw a brown paper bag right on Sunwoo's face, Sohyun did not care that it would hurt his sister's face, today he was too tired.


“Where's mommy?”


“She's out to take care of the return ticket.”


Ah..


Sohyun remembered. After the test he will return to England.


“When your exam is finished?”


“Besok.”


“Ah so, so noona did not attend graduation?”


“Of course not. How can I come if I am immediately rushed to England.” Sohyun replied, he walked to his room, opening one by one his school uniform. Naked in front of his sister was fine, as Sohyun knew his sister had a deviant nature.


Of course the nature of his sister only he knows. Both of his parents did not know that Sunwoo was gay.


“Ah what a pity. Just pray mommy does not get tickets in a fast time.”


“Ck, it wants you because it wants to meet Sungwon kan.”


Sunwoo stopped watching. He turned around and watched Sohyun pick up his plain white t-shirt.


She smiled broadly as she accidentally saw Sohyun's breast being protected with a colored bra matching her shirt. Sunwoo smiled not because he could see her brother's breasts, it was a normal thing that he did during his life, but it was the sentence Sohyun just said that made Sunwoo smile widely.


“She's adorable.”


“Ck, he's a normal boy. Don't tease him.”


“Who is flirting with who? He even teased me first by calling oppa.”


Sohyun shook his head. His short legs are stepped closer to Sunwoo, “That's his trademark. Do not put it in the heart. I don't agree you ruined his mind.”


Sunwoo. Her lips are adorable. He wanted Sungwon but his brother forbade him.


If Sohyun had already banned himself, all Sunwoo could do was obey the words of his brother.


Sunwoo did not want Sohyun to get angry at him or stay away from him. Where else would he tell me about his favorite.


“How's Jack?”


“She's getting married with her affair. Noona knows, she once said if she was Gay, but she could impregnate a woman.”


“Really?” sohyun asked, Sunwoo nodded. “Then what happened between you guys? You and Jack broke up?”


“Of course. Who wants to fight with a rival who has a big fruit in his chest.” Sunwoo said as he touched his flat chest.


Sohyun laughs. Laughing louder as if she was hiding her pain.


Woof, woof


Dongbi interrupted. He ran happily towards Sohyun and stroked his mother's feet gently.


Woof, woof,


“She knows that her mother is injured.” Said Sunwoo glanced at Dongbi, slowly the big dog rose the lap of Sohyun, not ceaselessly Dongbi spoiled with Sohyun. His tail was flicked right and left, his head was rubbing against Sohyun's chest.


“Noona.”


Sohyun. It gives a gaze ‘What?’ to Sunwoo next to him.


“Do you not want to meet with Jihoon hyung to make up?”


Sohyun. His smile faded after hearing his sister's question.


From that day on, Sohyun started avoiding Jihoon. As the two of them cross paths at school, they choose to ignore each other and throw gazes in all directions.


Not that Sohyun wanted to avoid Jihoon. But the man had given her an indirect warning not to give a guess, leading Sohyun to give up and slowly retreat to not expect more from his former lover.


Sohyun was conscious. She was not the woman Jihon had loved like a while ago. Now there is Lia, the woman who will spend the rest of her time for Jihoon.


“No. What to fix with a relationship that has been destroyed from the beginning?”


“You still love right?”


Sohyun shook his head. “No.”


“Do not lie.”


“No for him..” Sohyun got up from his seat while lowering Dongbi off his lap. “Already, why should discuss this. I want to get out you want to leave?”


Sunwoo was silent, then he shook his head. “No. I want to meet Sungwon.” he said.


Sunwoo got up from his seat, not forgetting he grabbed the jacket placed on the back of the sofa.


“Remember, what just stitched.”


“Iya I know.”


.


Sohyun walked on the sidewalk. Enjoy the ice cream he bought.


The highway to the right is so crowded with several four-wheeled vehicles traveling at medium speed, then to the left the shops look so beautiful with light lights. Some visitors look so enthusiastic when entering and shopping.


Ah yes did I tell you that Sohyun has moved house?


No, I'm sorry.


After returning home from the hospital, Sohyun directly under the new house, right in the middle of the city, the place is quite staratagis, close to shops that make it easy for Sohyun to shop.


The distance to his house is even very close to his school, it only takes eight minutes if it is a walk.  ⁇


Sohyun was delighted with his new place. He can shop freely. See the city of Seoul at night. But, there is sadness too, in this new place far from his old home. Sohyun could no longer freely go to Jaehyun's cafe. Enjoy your favorite drinks for free.


His steps came to a halt just like that when Sohyun saw the doll's pinch machine. The smile that had since adorned her beautiful face, slowly faded away.


Something in his memory turned around. Reminds Sohyun of his fond memories of someone.


Sohyun shook his head slowly. Then step her foot to get away from it. Sohyun left with a memory that kept spinning on that day.


;


Jihoon stopped walking. A small object in front of the store caught his attention at this time.


Doll clamp machine.


Jihoon fixed his black hoodie hood. He was silent for a moment recalling his memories with Sohyun.


Yeah, memories with her ex-boyfriend.


Jihoon still remembered very well at that time. The night when the two of them had bought food for Dongbi, in the middle of the road they saw it, and Sohyun whined for one of the dolls inside.


Almost half an hour they spent getting a little doll in there. However, Jihoon did not get it and eventually they gave up. Back home with a feeling of annoyance at the flops machine.


Jihoon exhaled a long breath. He stepped closer, put in a piece of money and played the clamp once more.


It's not easy playing that thing. It takes great patience and precision to clamp a cute doll inside.


Jihoon. Her tears flowed without excuse.


His feelings are suddenly confused.


His heart ached to see that clasp managed to lift the rilakkuma doll.


His voice began to sound. Jihoon covered his face with a clap of his hand. His pain was unbearable.


That's what Sohyun wanted when they were dating and now Jihoon gets it. But what for if Sohyun wasn't with her?


Why should he win that game when they have split up?
