Chapter 8

We are currently in Busan. We are sitting in a cafe by the beach, silent. Every moment I hope that at least the waiter will come to serve us in order to avoid this unpleasant silence for a while.

"We need to talk. About yesterday" he says. And yes, we do. Except I don't know what to say.

"Okay." is all i can think about to say to him.

"Look.."when he tried to say something, the waiter came up to us.

"What can I do for you?" he asks.

"Can we have two teas of apple and cinnamon?" Wooyoung ask. It surprised me that he still remembers how much I adore that tea. Just like him. Thanks to him, it has been my favorite taste since I was a child. His mother would always cook it for us when we came to visit. Except San hates that taste, so I'd get two cups.

"All right, two cups of tea are coming." the waiter says, then leaves.

"I hope you don't mind, but I ordered tea because you're all shaking. You look cold." he says.

"No, it's okay. I need something warm."

"Look, last night...
I said something I might not have needed, but I had to tell you. Ever since I read the letter, I was no longer sure of my feelings for Emily, nor for you... but then I thought all night. And I want to make peace with Emily. I love her. We spent two years together and I can't just leave it behind." I just sit there and listen. I'm not even sure what to think. Apparently the feelings he had for me were never as strong as what he felt for Emily. Because if they were, some things would be different, and his actions and words ... so let's say we wouldn't be sitting here discussing Emily right now. I feel like that girl for some reason always finds a way to be the center of my life.

"What's your point?" I ask coldly. I'm a little tired of our play on words. Most of all, I got bored of Emily. I'm sick of her. The waiter brings our teas, and I immediately grab a cup to warm my hands.

"I want Emily back. That's the point. And to apologize to you for last night." he say.

"No need to apologize. I wonder how you think to get your love back when she has a new boyfriend?" for some reason, all of this annoys me too much and I'm mad at Wooyounga, so my tone is cold.

"She's with him just to make me jealous." he said.

"Haha wow. Well, you two are the same. No wonder you are the perfect couple." I add sarcastically.

"What's that suppose to mean?" now he is annoyed.

"Look you pretty little dancer, or the most handsome boy in school, whatever you call yourself these days. I'll help you get Emily back. While she's using that poor boy, at least I know what I'm up to. When the two of us break up, I don't want to hear about you two anymore. My whole life revolved around her and just when I got rid of her claws, you brought her back to my life. I'm sick of being just a means to an end for someone." my tone is so insensitive as he looks at me worriedly. I mean it. I mean everything I said. I am sick of this drama, of the feelings I had for him and Emily who is the center of my world again. First, she took away the boy I loved terribly, and now she puts me in the position that I have to distance myself from him, so that I don't fall in love again.

"Lora I.." he tried to say something, but I stopped him.

"These are my conditions and so it will be. Everything written on paper will be fulfilled, but once the two of us break up, all contact is over, Wooyoung. When San returns, you and I stay at the distance we were before he left. I said what I had." I take a cup of hot tea and drink it.
