Forget You

8 - I'm the owner

"It's okay. Let just say you accidentally block my path or we bump into each other." Yeol turn around to see Dara trying to close the window. "We're just strangers anyway." Dara added.

Yeol was sorry. It felt like he was pushing himself to hard at Dara to the point that it hurt her.

Yeol wasn't able to sleep after finishing his lesson plan. He went outside the balcony. we just stand there staring at Dara's room.

Kyungsoo then open the door going to the balcony. He was just from his duty. He look tired but notice that Yeol wasn't in the good mood also. Kyungsoo sigh. But still Yeol didn't bother.

"What's wrong?" . Finally, Yeol looked at Kyungsoo.

"I did something wrong again."

Kyungsoo sit on the chair like he was ready to hear Yeol out even though he look very tired.

Yeol exhaled. "Should I..." -Yeol

"give up?" Kyungsoo finished it. "Why? I thought you came back her because you couldn't forget her"

"It seems like I am just being a burden on her."

Kyungsoo took out a beer from the plastic he was holding "I, somehow, got an instinct that I need this tonight. This explains it all." He then hand over the beer to Yeol. "I think your just bothered by the presence of Chen, isn't it? ... You asked me about him last time."

"Is that why you bought this?" Yeol raise his beer.

Kyungsoo smiled and continue to drink his beer.

"I hurt her earlier. At first I took advantage of it. I thought that atleast I could hold her hand... I could get closer to her."

"that's bad." kyungsoo

"I saw her smile so brightly at Chen."

"that's really bad." kyungsoo

"I can't bare to see her with other man."

"Is that why you push yourself to much at her?"

"I'm doing the wrong thing aren't I?"

"Why don't you tell her what you really feel?"

"does it change anything?" Yeol then drunk all the beer left in his can. "She can't even remember me. Would she feel better if she'll know that some stranger lov..." Yeol couldn't continue what he's about to say.

"Do she really have to say it?" Kyungsoo was referring to the promise Dara maid before Yeol left her.

"Yes. That way I know she haven't forgotten me, that her feelings didn't change."

"Her feelings 12 years ago... it could change you know."

"Yeah. but that's the only weapon I have." Yeol crushed the can of beer with his hand.

"On your battle with Chen?" Kyungsoo laughed.

The next day Yeol woke up late , so, he have to go straight to the school and wouldn't have time to check if Dara was doing alright. When the class is about to end.

"okay, class see you tomorrow."

"Teacher, did your love life work?"

Yeol remembered that they suggested something to Yeol.

" you kids! look what have you done!" He murmured.

"did it failed? what did you do teacher?"

"tsss.. I can't believe I'm discussing this with my student."
