The days went on and on, and Jaehyun completely forgot about the lady who answered Jimmy's phone. Jimmy often brings Jaehyun out for a date almost every other day when they don't have much to do regarding college. Sometimes they went to KTV Bar with Matthew and Tommy for hangouts. Everything seems so normal, though Jimmy sometimes feels bothered by the thought of Stacy."Congratulations boys," Margaret and Arthur greeted Matthew, Tommy, Jimmy, and Jaehyun after climbing down the podium as they received their certificates. "Thanks, Auntie," the boys said in unison. The Cha family, including Matthew, went to a restaurant to celebrate, while Jimmy went home for the family dinner as well. However, Jimmy seems to hate it as Stacy's family is there. Jimmy hated his parents for inviting them. He went to his room, making sure it was triple locked, and called Jaehyun, whom he already missed.****The next morning, Jaehyun and Jimmy met up at the park for a walk.They were leisurely walking,
Jaehyun's POV "No, there must be a misunderstanding here. Jimmy loves me and will never do this to me." I convinced myself while staring at the picture in my hand that was already crumpled. I will see him and ask him myself. After leaving the cafeteria, my feet sauntered to the place where Jimmy could possibly be. My feet bring me to the studio where Tommy and Jimmy usually hang out.I was a few meters away from the studio when I saw familiar figures. It was Jimmy and a petite girl. I look at the pictures in my hand to confirm my hunch. It was the girl from the picture. And when I lifted my gaze again, I saw them kissing so passionately.Jimmy is holding the girl's shoulder, and I feel like my heart is being pierced by millions of needles. I turn around and walk away from that place, not wanting to see any of them or what they are doing. I don't dare to confront them. I couldn't bear to see him kissing someone else. I ran like a madman on a busy and bustling street.I run aimlessly
"Why has his phone been out of reach? was his phone dead?" Jimmy mumbled as he was trying to call Jaehyun so early in the morning. He merely wanted to greet Jaehyun with "Good morning" and ask how he was doing."Alright, maybe he was still on the bed." Jimmy freshened up and prepared his things and other essentials and stuffed them in a backpack. He went to the dining room for breakfast, and as usual, his dad nagged him again about Stacy and the future merger of the two companies. Jimmy just kept his mouth shut; he didn't want to argue and simply let his dad's constant nagging pass through his ears."Are you even listening?" Travis put down his cutlery as he noticed Jimmy unbothered. "Yes, I'm not deaf," Jimmy replied, and Travis scowled in irritation. "We will talk about the announcement of your engagement party tomorrow with the Choi family. So you don't go play around; you have enough fun already. It's time to be serious." Travis was disregarding Jimmy's annoyance as he smacked
"How is he?" asked Arthur, seeing his wife descend the stairs. She just went to check on Jimmy."He fell asleep now; he's been crying for hours. "Geez," Margaret sighed as she made her way to the living room and sat beside Arthur.Arthur let out a deep breath and shook his head. He couldn't believe what he just heard from his wife after she explained what had happened. He was so furious about what they did to Jimmy and Jaehyun. Arthur suddenly has the urge to beat up Travis. "We shouldn't have let Jaehyun leave like that; if I only knew this was the story, I should have stopped him from leaving," Arthur said. Margaret sighed again. "The next day, Jimmy woke up with a pounding headache and swollen eyes because of too much crying. He stared blankly, not minding his headache upon remembering that Jaehyun had already left him. His eyes welled up and soon began trickling down, dampening the bed sheet. He sobs silently, "I miss you, babe." Once again, Jimmy snuggled into Jaehyun's pillow
Jimmy was laying on the bed horizontally, curled on his knees, and hugging a portrait of him and Jaehyun. He is as thin as a stick figure and almost lifeless. Celine just stood there frozen. She shuddered at the pitiful sight of her son, while Travis walked over and hugged him after ordering the maid to call an ambulance."I'm sorry, son." For the very first time, Travis cried in front of everyone present in the room. Jimmy's breath is very, very faint; he is barely holding onto the last string of his life. Travis' heart shattered seeing Jimmy in the most horrifying condition he had never even once imagined. But who's to blame? "I'm so sorry," Travis whispered again. Shame comes filling in– eating up every bit of him. "I'm sorry, son. Please forgive this foolish father of yours. I'm sorry for making you like this." Travis was kneeling as he held Jimmy's thin and almost bone and skin hand that seemed to break anytime you applied even the slightest force on it."I'm sorry…. I'm sor
The birds were chirping in rhythm with the pleasant breeze. The sun had hardly risen an hour before, and the weather was ideal for a pleasant picnic day.early 1970's"1 2 3, smile, babe," click! a ticking sound of an old instant photograph Polaroid camera."Wow!" "You look so pretty handsome in this picture, babe," Peach commented as he examined the photograph. Yoon has a pretty face for a man. His almond eyes, pointed nose, and bow-shaped lips complemented flawlessly his slim yet meaty and porcelain-like cheeks. Though he is now thin and pale, glimmers of his former ethereal beauty remain. He has lengthy raven lashes and captivating hazel orbs. Peach can't stop falling in love with him over and over again. That's a certainty that will never change."I know, right? That's why you love me, right? Because of my pretty, handsome face." Peach's brows furrowed from Yoon's teasing."Ahh, here we are again," Peach said, then put down the camera. He gently pulled Yoon and made him sit on his
After breakfast, Yoon and Peach went to the lakeside for a picnic. "Babe, how long do I need to sit here?" Peach asked. He was sitting on the bench under the big oak tree with the rays of the sun shining on him while Yoon stroked his paintbrush onto the canvas."A little more, babe, it's almost done," replied Yoon."Forgive me, my love. I know my time here is nearly over. I hope one day you will be able to forget me and move on from the pain caused by me. If ever your heart beats for someone else again, I'm more than happy. I promise I won't be mad. Babe, I'm sorry for being so weak, and I thank you for staying by my side. I know it's going to be very, very hard for you once I'm gone. It's okay to cry, babe, but don't cry too long. I won't go anywhere; even if you can't see me or touch me, just close your eyes and feel me in your heart." Yoon thought while completing the portrait. "It's done, babe; come here and take a look." Peach walked over to him under the parasol."Woahh! Am I
One year later,"It's been a year now, babe. How are you up there? I miss you so much, my love." I wanted to tell you how I survive this year without you. I wanted to tell you that I am happy, that I am fine without you here by my side. but I can't. I am not; I couldn't. You knew you're everything I have. You knew you were my life. Not a single second I didn't think about you, my heart always longed for you. Babe... can you hear me? I... miss you so much."Peach was standing beneath the big oak tree, facing the beautiful lake, while reminiscing about the memories with his beloved late husband. He wanted to talk to Yoon, he badly wanted Yoon's warmth. However, there was no way and he could only reminisce about those past happy days with his love."I went to every place we went before. Remember when we first met? I was bullied by a group of thugs in the park. Nobody wants to help me, as I am only a mere member of the restaurant crew at the small restaurant in front of the park. But li
