CHAPTER 15

The rain continued to pour as Jaejoong and Lena quietly held each other.

Suddenly . . . Lena started to shiver. Jaejoong immediately released her from his embrace and worriedly looked at her.

“I think it's time we head back to the apartment,” he uttered.

Lena smiled. “I'm fine . . . . Don't worry.”

“You might get sick if we stay out in the rain any longer. You're already shivering. . . . Come on . . . .” Jaejoong said as he held out his hand to her.

Lena looked at the hand in front of her . . . . He heart was beating very fast. . . . Slowly she reached out and held on to it . . . .

Jaejoong smiled as soon as he held Lena's hand.

“Come on . . . . Let's hurry . . . .” he said as he gently pulled her.

Jaejoong and Lena started to ran back to the apartment . . . . while holding each other's hand. Somehow right at that moment . . . . their hearts were beating as one.

They had already arrived at the apartment building when Jaejoong suddenly remembered something.

“Do you still remember the time when we were little . . . . we went out to play in the park . . . . but suddenly it rained . . .?” Jaejoong asked.

“And then we ended up running back to your house, even if the rain was pouring hard . . . and then we both ended up being scolded by your mother because we were both drenched in the rain . . . .” Lena continued to tell what happened as if it was only yesterday.

Jaejoong nodded happily. “I could still remember my mother's face when she saw us . . . .” he said with a smile.

Lena smiled as well. “Your mother was very nice . . . . she immediately helped me to change my clothes . . . .”

“Yes . . . . my mother loved you like you were her daughter . . . .” Jaejoong uttered. “I remember I asked her why she took care of you first . . . . before she took care of me . . . .Do you know what she answered?”

“What?” Lena asked curiously.

“She said you were a part of our family . . . and since she knows that you're very fragile . . . That's why she took care of you first,” Jaejoong answered.

Lena smiled again. “ Jaejoong . . . .” she slowly uttered.

“Why?” he asked.

“Thank you . . . .” she uttered.

“Thank you for what?” he asked again.

“For  . . . . everything . . . For searching for me, even if it was raining. . . . For trying to understand . . . . For not being mad . . . . For being my friend . . . . “ she said as she looked straight at his eyes.

Jaejoong smiled sweetly. Then he gently caressed Lena's face . . . .”I can never get mad with you . . . . . And you don't have to say thank you for anything.”

Lena felt the warmth of Jaejoong's hand as he caressed her face. She couldn't stop herself. . . . but her heart was somehow rejoicing. Everything was almost perfect . . . . The only thing missing was for her to see love in Jaejoong's eyes.

Lena smiled bitterly as she suddenly turned away from Jaejoong. She was day dreaming again. She knew she had to teach herself to finally accept the truth.

Sadness suddenly filled her heart . . . . She knew she will never have the chance to see love in his eyes.

“Let's go . . . . I . . . . I'm already cold,” Lena suddenly said. She just made up an excuse so she could  break away from Jaejoong.
