Episode 2

2 day later

       " well, I'll take him if you don't want him." My best friend said playfully and winked at me.

      " one good thing about being the biggest asshole is the whoever comes after him like prince charming. " Mia again said.

     " that sound so reassuring,  girl. " I roll my eyes and took another bite of my steak tacos.

      She smiled showing her cute dimples and threw the last bite of tacos in her mouth.

      " I can always depend on you to find a silver lining in the darkest of clouds. " I gave her mocking smile.

      " yeah that's me always optimist. Anyway your parents seems like a loving parents, I can't imagine them pushing you to marry a stranger out of selfishness and completely ignoring you happiness. " Mia said.

      " that's why I thought too but they real believe that taehyung will be a good husband to me. They seems sure on that fact but I must sure they've been living under rock if they haven't heard all the ugly rumors surrounding him." I said.

   
      " or they heard but decided not to believe it . " she countered looking at me.

       We both finished our meals and grabbed everything to throw away. Once we're outside the canteen, I continued as we walk back toward the academic building.

      " anyways , Taehyung and I ...well we're kind of strangers at the same time we're not. " I said

     " what do you mean ? "  she asked by my vagueness.

     " we knew eachother when we were kids. Our parents were good friends so we went to eachother houses a lot. " we passed by the enormous library where bunch of students.

    " we were friends up until I turned 10  and he was 12 . That was the year that all changed. His mother died in car accident then taehyung vanished. " I said remembering my past.

     " I didn't see him at his mother's funeral either, I kept asking my dad about taehyung but my dad replied the same thing that Mr.kim had sent him to school far away.  After that I stopped asking him. " I said.

     " what happened to him ? " she asked curiously.

    " I don't know , even still I don't know what really happened to him. " I didn't realize I was still holding on this- the emptiness and sadness i felt after his disappearance because the more I talked about it the sadded I got.

    " I didn't saw him until the year I graduated in high school. I attended my first gala with my parents for a charity of Mr.kim threw. I met taehyung there and I was so excited to see him and wanted to ask him where he has been all this years and catch up. But when we locked eyes , he seemed so distant and indifferent that is stop me to approaching him. " a tear escape down my cheek and I quickly wiped it away. What the heck ? Why am I crying? I guess I was hurt that day but I pretended that I wasn't and have been in denial ever since. Who was i kidding . He didn't even care about me and probably didn't even remember me.

     Thirteen years of being away vs ten year of childhood memories, my pathetic ten year would lose to his Thirteen years of outside influence. He probably met a lot of people and had a many life changing experiences that he didn't even give a second thought about me.
