THE PROMISE
CHAPTERS 1. ON A REMOTE ISLAND

"*Sehun, wait." said the little girl in two pigtails who walked right behind the boy named Sehun.

The boy named Sehun finally relented after hearing the sentence 5 times.

He stopped walking, waiting for the pigtailed girl to walk closer to him.

"Hold my hand, don't let go. Later you will miss again." said Sehun to the two-pointed girl while giving her hand to hold a little girl who smiled sweetly at him..

The girl nodded at the sign she understood Sehun's words.

"Alright, let's go." said Sehun.

5 Minutes walk, the two arrive at a park owned by their housing.

"No.... Krys, we've arrived." said Sehun.

"Gee... " Krystal was amazed.

"Yesterday Eomma brought me here. I thought you hadn't been here either, so I'm taking you now." Sehun said as he walked up to the swing and sat on it.

"My Eomma never brought me here" said Krystal sadly. He walked towards one of the swings beside Sehun and sat on it.

"Jagan is sad, your eomma and my eomma are both busy. Yesterday I was just lucky." after saying that, Sehun got off his swing and walked behind Krystal. Pushing Krystal's swing to swing like her eomma did yesterday.

"Gee... It's interesting." Krystal was amazed again.

"You like it?" ask Sehun.

"Ne, tomorrow we come again Sehun." pinta Krystal.

"Alright." replied Sehun happily.

It was getting late in the afternoon, but both of the children were reluctant to go home. Both of them seemed comfortable lying on the grass to see the afternoon sky.

"Krys, if you grow up, what do you want to be?" ask Sehun.

Krystal got up, sat down cross-legged looking at Sehun who was still lying staring at the sky.

"Hmmm...." Krystal think. "Maybe like Eomma." answered Krystal finally.

"If Sehun wants to be what?"

"Basketball player."

"Krystal's seen a basketball match with Uncle D.O and it's really cool. Sehun must be even cooler." Krystal said with a smile on Sehun.

"I think so" Sehun replied while chuckling. "Let's go home, we will be searched and thought lost." continued Sehun while rising to his feet.

"You're not coming home?" sehun asked Krystal who was still sitting on the grass.

"Take a hold." said Krystal, raising both hands.

"I won't bring you here again if I have to take you home" Sehun said.

Silent. Sehun looked to the side and found Krystal already asleep. Seeing that Sehun smiled.

"Basic, Krystal Princess is sleeping." decak Sehun*.

"Krys, bagun.. Krystal."

"What's? What's up?" ask Krystal in a daze. Then look at the clock that shows 01:25 in the morning.

"You woke me up at this hour? Yaampun Sherah's... I just slept 2 hours ago." Krystal continued.

"Who is Sehun?"

Krystal froze, her mind suddenly blank and her countenance became flat.

"How do you know?" krystal asked in the end.

"Must."

"Huh?" answer Krystal reflex.

"You keep mentioning the names Sehun, Sehun and Sehun. So, who's Sehun?" ask Syera curious.

Krystal pulled the blanket over her face. Ignoring the Sherah question.

"You don't want to tell me?"

Silent. There was no response from Krystal.

"Are you really sleeping? After waking me up at this hour? I don't believe this." said Syera resentfully holding back the anger.

Then choose to walk to bed and sleep.

A few minutes later, Krystal woke up. No, he's not sleeping. He was just pretending to be asleep. He was at a loss as to how to explain who Sehun was to Syera.

Krystal looked at Syera who was asleep on the bed not far from her. "I'm sorry, I don't know how to explain it. It must have been him who made me go and choose to stay here." said Krystal sadly.

That is the fact, Sehun made it all the way from Korea to America.

I want to hate it but the feeling is still there. I want to cry, but nothing will change just by crying. Wanted to miss but he was no longer a figure worth missing.

Everything is stored neatly, well guarded so that the heart that has been injured does not return hurt deeper.

Krystal believes that one day she will find someone who can make her happy. He was sure, even if his happiness was not for Sehun it was okay.

That night, he thought back. Classic love of his High School days while in Seoul. It was beautiful when it all just started. It was sad when it was all over.

"For someone far away, miss you again."
