Glimpse of us // Park Jay ft Park Sunghoon

001

Flashback to 3 years before.

On a bench at Han river.
Sunghoon: Jagi, why do you suddenly want to meet me? Are you miss me?

He smiled sweetly. 'Oh God, how I am supposed to tell him? I'm sorry, Sunghoon. I love you, and I always do, but I got no choice.'

FYI, we've been in a relationship for 5years now, and we've been planning to get married next year after I finish my Master's. I met him in a barista course 7years ago. He's introverted and shy around people that he doesn't know. But after he became comfortable with them, he's crack head. Yet his gentlemen and kind side make me fall in love with him. I brave myself to confess my feelings to him. But he rejects my confession a couple of times. But I didn't give up; I tried my luck to confess to him again a year later. And guess what? He accepts it. Back then, he didn't accept me because he was scared that I was playing with his heart. Both of our families knew about the relationship, and they didn't object to our relationship.

But now, I had to break our promises. I'll get married to Park Jay. He's the grandson of my grandparent best friend. They promise to marry off their children to change their friendship into a family. Unfortunately, my father and Park Jay's father are their only son. So they make a promise to marry off their grandchildren, and coincidentally I'm born as the only daughter, and Park Jay is an only child in the Park's family.

My father can't do anything about their parent's agreement because they want to combine their family business. He had to agree even though he loves Sunghoon, like his son.

Sunghoon: Y/N, are you okay?
He holds my hand and rubs it. I can't keep my tears. He seems flustered to see I burst into tears. He hugs me and pats my hair.

Sunghoon: Everything is going to be okay, I promise you.
'Why are you so nice to me?  How can I deliver this bad news when you're smiling like this to me? I wish I could stop this moment forever. I can't imagine my life without you.'

Sunghoon: Now, would you mind to share me your problem with?
I looked into his eyes.

Y/N: I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
He looked at me and held my hands. He looks worried.

Sunghoon: What happens, jagi? Why do you apologise to me?
I give him an invitation card for my wedding day.

Sunghoon: What is this? Who's going to be married? Is it Heesung hyung?
He smiles while reading the name on the invitation card. His smile faded as he saw my name with another man's name.

Sunghoon: Why? What about our promise? How about our plans to get married?
I could see his eyes were red. I can't see him cry. It makes my heart ache and pain.

Y/N: I'm sorry; I also don't know why this could happen to us. I want you to know that I really love you, and I always do. You're my first love. How I can let anyone else replace you.

Sunghoon: Should we just run away from here and get married somewhere else? I can find a place for us. I can sell my cafe and use that money to begin our life elsewhere.
I shake my head and give him a faint smile. I wish the same things as him. I wish I could run away from here and begin a new life with him elsewhere, but I can't. I can't let my family down. They both are important to me.

Y/N: I can't let my family down. You know how much my family adores you; they also wish that you were the one that walk-in the aisle with me. They expected you were the one that could give me my dream life. But it's my grandparent's wish to see I'm married to his best friend's grandson.

Sunghoon: But how about me? Don't you want live with me? Build a family with me? It's our dream Y/N, not his. How can I live without you? You were the reason why I am still here.
I pecked his lips for the last time and hugged him. He hugs me back, knowing I will not change my mind, which kills me inside. Please be happy even though I'm not the reason for your smile anymore. Please be happy so that I don't feel guilty.

Sunghoon: Please hold on there, Y/N. I promise I will take you back, even though it might take a lifetime.
I cry on his shoulder. No, Sunghoon, you deserve better than this.

After that day, I never met him again. I heard from his mom that he's going overseas to further his studies there. Yes, I am still in contact with his family. His family is like my second family. His parents never blamed me. They say if we are meant to be, no one else in this world can separate us.

Fast Forward to now.

I've been married to Park Jay for three years now. But we still sleep in separate rooms. It's a mutual decision between us, as he says he'll not sleep with me if I am still in love with someone else. He's a very considerate person. He never blamed me, even though it killed him inside. I know what he's feeling inside, even though he never told me about his feeling.

Jay: Hey, Y/N. Tomorrow is our third anniversary, is there anything you want?
He smiled at me. I chuckled when I saw his smile. Honestly, he's the kindest person that I have ever known.
Y/N: Can we go ice skate tomorrow, please?
Jay: But I don't know how to ice skate.
Y/N: It's okay. I can teach you.
I smiled to assure him.

At Ice Rink.
I laughed at Jay. Honestly, he's so bad at ice skating. He keeps on falling after taking two to 3 steps. I hold his hands and teach him slowly how to keep balance. After a while, we were hungry and decided to grab lunch nearby the ice rink. Jay goes to the counter to order some food for us.

??: Hey Y/N. Long time no see, and you still pretty like you always do. I miss you.
My eyes grew bigger as I knew whose voice is it. Yeah, I miss him too, the one that stole my heart years ago.
