I stay

2

What happened that day remained forgotten to the rest of the school, including the group of friends themselves. It was as per Rona request for them to forget about it as said that she just didn't get enough sleeps these days.

"Hey, want to go to the mall today ? After school, we meet up at the school gate."

Seokkyung suggested since it's been a while since the group when out together.

"I'm fine with it!"

Minhyuk shout as he was very excited and happy with the idea of it.

"Both me and Jenny also coming."

Eunbyeol speak up for her and Jenny.

"Cousin ? Rona ?"

Seokkyung turn to the other 2 who remained very silent these days.

Seokhoon looked at his cousin as he opened his mouth to answer her when Rona beat him to it.

"I-"

"I'll pass."

All heads turned to Rona not to mention including Seokhoon himself.

"You have plans ?"

Jenny asked as this was the first time Rona didn't come with them to their hangout which is very unusual too.

"Yeah, I have to visit my grandma as she said on phone to me that she is sick and misses me."

An excuse that all of them might believe except 2 people, I think you know who.

After the last period of the day, students dashed out the school heading towards their respective homes except for one.

Rona who ran out of them class first without saying goodbye to the group gained even more suspicious from them.

"I guess she really misses her grandma."

Seolah exclaimed as Seokkyung, Minhyuk nodded at her.

Jenny wanted to say something regarding the excuse Rona gave them but she couldn't, she couldn't betray her friend just because of this little invalid reason.

Seokhoon dashed out, chasing after Rona leaving his cousins and friend shouting his name over and over again.

He knew, he knew she lied about visiting her grandma because she never had one to begin with. Her grandma died before she was born and the one that knew about it was him, Jenny and Haeeun.

Surprise!

Yes, Haeeun knew everything about Rona. Before Rona meet with the group of friends she has right now. She was friends with Haeeun and Jenny but for some reason Haeeun drifted apart from her and Jenny due to unanswered reason.

Before Rona and Jenny grew much closer with each other, Rona was very close with Haeeun. Like siblings who can't even separate from each other.

Secrets revealed, nothing hidden, soulmate promises, unbreakable bond turns upside down within seconds.

Seokhoon chase and chase and chase when somehow, he lost track of Rona in the crowd of the students. He grunted in annoyance.

Rona had a feeling that someone was tailing her so she purposely walk through the corridor full of students and happened to pass by a mirror as she saw Seokhoon. Without much action and effort, the corridor was added with more students when the second bell rang saying that the classes for today has finally finished.

She took the opportunity to walk inside the crowd and also managed to be gone from Seokhoon's sight.

Running away from getting asked by him was her only way. Nope, it wasn't. She could have told him everything about what has been bothering her but she chosen not to. She wants to keep all the pain to herself as she doesn't want anyone to know about it or even showing the slightest of it in front of anyone.

So, she takes today's opportunity to go alone and fixed her broken heart as she wants to reset her mind and the first place, she would go was Han River, her favorite spot around the world.

Not many knew about her favorite but she thinks they could have guessed it since it's the easiest place to go.

'I wish everything was gone.

I wish everything didn't started.

I wish my feelings for him was just a moment.

I wish this all just a dream.

I wish I didn't get too close to him.

But,

I did.

Everything was a total messed up.

Why am I so pathetic?

Was I'm too innocent for this?

I knew he likes her.

Yet, I hoped that he likes me and not her.

I should have just gone from this world.

His world.

Their world.

By then, they would be happy with each other.'

Step by step, her tears fall.

Love, when people found the meaning of it and learned about it, it goes from sweet and lovely to dark and dangerous. Someone innocent who didn't want to get hurt for her pure heart experience these kinds of things for the first time ever.

Rona had to do something and that something might change the whole thing that she's having right now.

2 years later

"Mom! I'm going to be fine. Just relax and stay here safely, okay? Eat everyday and stay healthy until I come and get you back. I'm just going there for a year to manage your business who you had passed to me last month."

Rona patted her mother's back softly as she tried to calm her down from crying.

"Promise me that you will call me every day, okay? If not, I will call my friend to check up on you at your office."

Yoonhee looked at her daughter seriously as Rona chuckled seeing her mother behavior.

"I will! So cute, my precious mother."

Rona pulled her mother into a tight hug again when they heard an announcement regarding Rona's flight.

"I have to go now or I'll miss my flight. Remember that I always love you and told father I love him very much although he is busy working!"

Rona shouted as she began to slowly walk away and disappear from her mother sight, both waving goodbye to each other.

Yoonhee smiled sadly as she whispers;

"Be happy my dear, you deserve it after what you have been through. I know how you cry everyday in your room because you felt sorry and misses your friends and how heartbroken you were these past 2 years. So if you meet them again, please tell your heart to be strong and tell yourself don't give up and don't break down no more because you're a strong girl. I love you, My Little Juliet."
