•On a phone call•

Unknown : Hey !!! Ryeonah

Just by hearing this gentle soft voice she felt such a calmness that made her forget everything temporarily

Ryeon : *Hiccups* is that r–really you ??

Her eyes full of tears & maybe for the first time in a decade she cried cause of happiness,the happiness of finding someone so important to you again

Unknown : Why didn't you tell me that you came,we haven't contacted in 11 years you left without even saying anything to me ???

Ryeon : Eun-woo!!! Y–you !!

She started crying

Eun-woo : what did I make you cry ??
Sorry Ryeonah

Concern in his tone

Ryeon : No it's just that I'm so happy, you still remembered

Eun-woo : Are you crazy  , I'd never forget,you don't know how hard I tried to find you these years searching everywhere for but then I got to know you went abroad but you didn't even think of telling me ?? After all that we had ??

He felt his own throat drying up

Ryeon : Eun-woo I also missed you but I thought, I better not involve you in my own mess ,I don't want you to get hurt because me

She couldn't,she just couldn't let him get hurt. He was too precious for her just like her little sister

Eun-woo : hey listen,stop crying haa !! Let's meet , tomorrow. I'll send you the location , I want to see you

Ryeon : hmm okay

______________________________________

Ryeon came to the just on time but didn't see Eun-woo ."probably he's in traffic jam". She spat. Suddenly she felt two hands being wrapped around her and she knew it was him . They just stayed in that position for a couple of minutes before she turned around and hugged him back not daring to look at his face yet , fearing he'll disappear. He gently hold her head and made her tilt her face. "I want to see you keep staring at you it's been so so long". He said desperately as he traced his thumb from the corner of her lips to her eyes and wiped away that tear which was yet to fall as she closed her eyes getting lost in his touch.

"I–I think we should go inside it's too much hot here" she say and get just hummed agreeing to everything with her .

"Ryeonah !!!".The way he said her was so full of love it almost felt like she'd disappear by receiving this much love from him. "You suffered enough now stop" besides her cousins only Eun-woo knew about that & he loved her little sister as it was his own . How Ironic, Isn't it ? That you love every single thing about your loved one ? Even her flaws !! "The situation is better than the past , you came back , she's good and happy, it's all good now" . "I know but the feeling that she got to know about the truth and she harmed her , this feeling doesn't go away". "I know, I know but believe me this time I'll be with you no matter what" . He said and took her fragile hand into his bigger ones

After all the conversation & catching up to each other ,they decided to leave as it was evening already. As they were about to part he pulled her by her hand and grabbed her chin and kissed her nasion [Where your nose meets your forehead]

Joonggil was right there and unfortunately he saw that , he felt his world trembling

Joonggil was expected there for a meeting but at the last minute he cancelled it cause he had to go to hospital to see his mom but he wasn't supposed to see that , he doesn't know anything about their relationship so he would definitely misunderstand her , that was fine but he wasn't fine he loves Ryeon so much his Ryeonah, she was his to love and adore but is this guy devouring his everything

"I wanted to be close to you Ryeon but d–did you just went further away from me? " But he couldn't say that to her . He tried to calm himself and went to hospital.

Joonggil's mom : what happened Joonggil you look so upset

Joonggil : Nothing mom , I'm just tired today

Joonggil's mom : is that really the reason?

Joonggil : yeah what else it could be?

Joonggil's mom : ohh *she said pretending to be believing his lies*

Joonggil : Anyway you should be asleep now it's already late

Joonggil's mom : hmm

Joonggil was heading towards the lift to go to the garage were his car was parked , he felt a hand hold his wrist gently & he felt all that bunch of emotions, turning to that person

Ryeon : Mr. Joong– ah sorry Joonggil , are you doing better than that day ?

She said with pure gentleness and her eyes sparkling

Joonggil : Oh yeah

He said nonchalantly . She furrowed her brows , "but you're feeling a little bit of pressure in your forehead, aren't you?" . The fact that she knew how he felt everytime . "And how'd you know that " he said with with a faint smile still not forgetting what happened earlier. " I'm a doctor though" she said with a hint of sarcasm making him smile and showing his wrinkles , "Ryeon " 

He placed a hand on her right cheek, he doesn't why but she just melted into that touch and didn't even push him off

"Do you–" suddenly the electricity went out and it was as if they were brought back to the reality, the cruel reality , the cruel reality in which she wasn't his

"Ahh shit What do we do now ??we are again stuck on the elevator" she said a bit annoyed

"Huh what can even be done, maybe there's a emergency contact number?"
He said.

"it's not here guess what I'm just gonna call someone to che– oh the lights came back " she said relieved

"I guess it's time to part again",she said with a reassuring smile but he felt his heart being torn apart

"Wait Ryeon" ,he again pulled her by her wrist."Can I know what were you doing today at the xx restaurant,I mean I know it might be personal but as your friend I really want to know,if I can help, it's okay if you don—"

"I was visiting a very close person to me and don't worry about it I'll tell you if I ever need any help from you ". She said smiling

"Close as if your lover",he said as a certain pain was floating in his voice

"Uhh no no he's less than a lover more than a friend, I don't know what you call that but that's what it is,he was there for me every time I was in pain so he's very close and precious to me"

"Uhh-oh"

Even though he was a bit relieved her next words broke him more than anything

"I'll go now ,take care"

He nodded as he saw the woman he loved going away



[ Sorry for keeping you guys waiting for an eternity 😭, I promise to be regular from now on]
