The Liar And Her Love

chapter 04:

-April, 2019-

It was ninth grade, Taeri had long brown hair, she was over the stupid heartbreak which happened yesterday. Focused on maths class, because if she misses onto anything, she will not be able to understand. Wasn't a keen learner and an enthusiast in maths. The lights were switched off, the projector was switched on.

From the outside she looked like she was studying maths but a lot of things were being processed in her head and then like Eureka it suddenly hit her.

'That fair, little short guy with golden retriever energy'

Goosebumps ran through her body and she felt chills, her palms started to feeling ticklish. She was seated on the first seat next to the door and that is when she saw him coming out of his class, he was looking into their class trying to a catch a glance of someone.

It took a minute for her to recover, he was gone, she turned to her friend seated next to her, her best friend, that is what she called her.

"Dude, I think I'm over him." She said. Her dark skinned friend turned to her. "Already?" She asked. Taeri nodded and that made Jessica, her friend of 8 months laugh.

"Good for you" when she didn't get a good response she turned around and faced the girl who sat behind her. The girl was busy doodling on the side of the page.

"Ae ra, I want to talk to you about someone, a boy" she said all excited.

Ae ra looked at her for a minute before frantically scribbling something on a paper and passed it into Taeri. She turned around and opened it to read.

'WHO IS THE BOY? HOW DID YOU MEET HIM!? TELL ME I NEED TO APPROVE HIM!!!!'

The excitement made Taeri happy

It was the beginning of an era, taeri became conscious of his presence, she still didn't have a name to the face, she couldn't remember his face either. How does he look like.

Everytime she saw him, he was always searching for someone, he would look into the classroom and leave, they would bump into each other, walk past each other but would never stop and exchange words.

-August 2033-

Jimin was home, it was indeed a tiring day, he had forgotten about ha na because of taeri but now that he was alone, thoughts were coming in. The house was where he lived with her, it has been a little over 3 days now since she died of cancer.

Suddenly the door of the room open a young girl walked out of it, she was in a black dress. "Appa" she chimmed and jimin looked back. He immediately turned and crawled towards her and pulled her to the lap.

"I'm sorry, I woke you up. Did you sleep well?" He asks. The girl nodded.

He had a daughter, now he was the only parent she was left with, he suddenly started weeping when he realised, what he was going to do in the morning. The girl looked at her father and hugged him.

"Appa!!!! Why awr you cwying!? Gwanny said eomma has gone to meet god. Don't wowwy she is happy, gwanny said only beautiful people go to god. Appaaaaaaa why awe you cwyinggg, I will eat brocollis, smile" she started screaming while forcefully stretching her dad's lips to smile. The R sound was still no easy for her, but her concern was her dad.

He hugged his daughter even more tight. "I love you sarang, daddy loves you" he sang and rocked her. "Sarang loves daddy tooooo" she says in return.

His daughter was 6 this year when she lost the mother who raised her. He was still a student when she was born, she is his daughter who he loves.

Ha na wasn't her real mother, but the mother she needed, the mother who chose to be her mother, she was jimin's support and sarang's home. "I will always love you sarang" he kept assuring her. Guilty of trying to take his life, if taeri hadn't been there, what could have happened.

.

Taeri and Ryan were in a black SUV, taeri wore blue jeans and a pink comfortable t-shirt, while Ryan was in black joggers and a grey hoodie, on his phone playing something.

There was packets of grocery items which consisted of lot of snacks in the back seat. Taeri was turning the car to park it on the side of the road. There was an average appartment complex around. Humble, sweet homes, homes that didn't divide people with floor numbers.

After the car was parked, she switched off the engine and opened the side of her door. "Get out Ryan, grab the packets, we need to search for the flat too" she said and Ryan looked up to see the car was parked.

He got out of the car and looked around. "Where are we? Why are we here?" He asks his elder sister. "You will know, now pick that packet too and leave the others ahh yeah grab that basket from the trunk" she said and her brother put his phone in his pocket to immediately follow her.

She locked the car and walked towards the buildings, the complex was big but it had around only four to five floors. She wore pencil heels and had her hair down now. The number of piercings on her ear shone in the moonlight. Her brother closed the hood of the trunk and jogged to catch up with her with a goodie basket and some packets.

They walked for a while, searching for a house. Taeri kept on reading the house numbers and followed the sequence to reach there. "Noona, are you involved with some drug cartel or something, where the fuck are we!?" Ryan whined again only to get a disgusted look from his sister.

"Shut your trap." She said and he went absolute quite. Finally taeri saw the house number on the third floor.

'201'

"Why the fuck is the house number 201 if it's on the third floor and it's not even the first house on the floor" she mumbled to herself before pressing the bell. Ryan stood there confused, it went silent and a few minutes later the door opened.

The man was shocked and looked at her with wide eyes, Ryan was confused and taeri had a smile on her face.

"Had dinner yet? Let's eat together, jimin" she said and showed off the bags to him.
