Exactly 10 A.M. when the plane from New York arrived at Korea and a tall handsome youngman on his 30's wearing a black leather coat with shades walking outside the arrival area and ushered by his two bodyguards to his respective black BMW.

"Seoul hasn't changed at all since I left and still feels like home." He was driving around the city and recalls every place he was familiar of and halted when he saw the same old bookstore he used to be around buying new arrivals and the place where he first met the woman he loved the most and the memories of them still lingers on him as he recalls it starting from small greetings on that place until a curved crept up on his face as he remembered their first shared kiss inside the bookstore.

He fished out the bookmark from the pocket of his coat and stared on it for so long and a only a deep sighed came from him. He always carried the bookmark on himself wherever he goes because he thought that it was the only thing that bind them. He read the words written by her at the back of the bookmark that has a designed of tulips in different colors infront.

"Pure love always bind two people together."

"Yeah and I still believed on those fucking words!" He slumped his broad body against the driver seat and gently put his arm over his forehead and slowly closing his eyes.

"Pure and true but not for both us. Our fate was a living proof that forever didn't exist at all. A sad and tragic love story like Romeo & Juliet. Yeah, I knew that fucking story." A tears came out from his eyes unknowingly but still remains on his position when a rang on his phone suddenly broke his trance.

"Soo-baby, are you already arrived in Seoul?" A lady asked from the other line.

"Yes babe and I'm still on jet lagged and resting inside my car. Sorry I didn't call you rightaway when I arrived." Sooyoung explained.

"I'll always understand baby. Always." The lady replied with conviction.

"Thanks babe, so I see later at the dinner, okay?" Sooyoung reminded her on their date.

"Sure, I wouldn't forget that, baby. Okay I have to go our meeting will be starting now. Drive safely baby see you tonight!" The lady said in a hurry and immediately hanged up.

He sighed again.

Their relationship wasn't in a rough situation but he noticed that there were no affections behind at all. They always exchanging messages on email, stay on the line until dawn and having pet names on themselves but still no affection. It was empty. Dull.

Sooyoung parked his car on the usual near the bookstore and stepped outside the drivers seat. He entered and the smell of the books inside was an enjoyable scent for him, he slowly rummaging from covers that might caught his interest, how he misses the place so much.

"Mr. Choi, what a coincidence it might be or it was planned by both of you to meet here for a date." The owner's grandson yelled at Sooyoung that made him startled but the choice of words caught his attention and keeps replaying on his minds.

"Ms. Hwang I think your boyfriend here was already picking you up for a date tonight." The young man adverts the attention from Sooyoung to Tiffany. He knew about their relationship and being a valued customers he slowly befriended with the former couple but little did he know that two already broke up and still couldn't healed themselves from pains until now. Awkward engulfing the whole place because no one bothers to broke the silence.

Hwang staring blankly at the former who was still processing his heart and mind from a total shock and a sudden sting on his wounded heart. Unfateful meeting for both of them.

"F-Fany-ah" Sooyoung hesitated mentioning her name but still managed to uttered it.

"Minho, I think I have to go by now, my HUSBAND had texted me awhile ago and telling me to go home. Don't forget to reserved the book I keep on requesting for you. Gotta go, bye then." Tiffany swiftly ditching the scene leaving both of them in shocked and confused by emphasizing her word husband.
