Is there as happy ending for the two of us?

Chapter three: are we now worlds apart?

“Maybe one day we’ll meet again when we’re different people. Maybe then we’ll be better for each other.”

I’m already happy with my life. I have a stable work. I’m independent and yet I feel incomplete. I’m twenty-two. A licensed Respiratory Therapist. I’m financially stable but emotionally wrecked. I don’t know how Kris is doing now but there are times that I wonder. The last thing I knew was he was in Law school. That was the last thing I’ve heard since I left

Is he married now?

Does he have a family?

Is he happy?

“hey, the dress you ordered for the wedding is here” Heechul calls through the door

“I’ll be right there” I say

I took the box from the table and went back to my room to try on the dress.

“it fits you perfectly” Kris says

I must be hearing things. I’ve been thinking of him too much since I came back. I knew this was a bad idea.

“it fits you perfectly” Heechul says

“really? thanks” I smile

“The color blue really compliments your skin tone”

Great. I’m hearing Kris’ voice again

“I know that look” Heechul says

“what?”

“you’re thinking of Kris.”

“I’m just remembered him because he always compliments me whenever I wear something blue” I whisper

“come on, we’ll be late for the wedding” Heechul says

“okay.” I say and tie my hair into a bun

The wedding was lovely. It was a gathering of our high school batch too. Everyone was there, except for two people. I tried to ignore the fact that two people were missing. They were of no importance to my life. Or so I thought.

I was busy socializing with old friends when someone tapped my shoulder. I smiled and turned around. I almost dropped my champagne glass.

“it’s been a while” the deep husky voice says

I just stood there dumbfounded

“Kris.” I say

“how have you been?” he asks
