Path of Love

07. Truth untold

Loooooooooong time skip 

Zori's turning 25 this year, she's still working where she used to for the past years.. let's see what fate has to gift her this time...

Boss: Zori! You need to get a day off! It's your birthday today 
Zori: alright alrightttt ill just finish up this file 
Boss: I better see you out right after.

__At home_
Mimuu! Today's my birthdaaaayy my lil smol adorable mIMU you get to go out today! with meeeee~

__Awhile later__Joo walks out his apartment as he turns on his phone, he sees Zori's recent posts as he was scrolling he comes across her recent post 'I-it's her birthday?! i didn't know-' he figures he should give her a little something but a phone call ruins his mood. Meanwhile Zori is on her way back to the apartment when she notices a photo of Joo in the trash bin..as she picks it up Joo comes running to her and says 'It's your birthday today..you didn't tell me' Zori responds while smiling 'How did you know? and why would i tell a famous idol my birthday as if you would care pftt'. Joo upon hearing that he is nothing but a mere idol in Zori's eyes, is upset but knows its true hands an album to Zori just one though, looking at her,  admiring her. Walks away while saying 'Happy birthday'. At that moment,  she looks at him one last time before going about her day , yet she can not take the memory out of her head , she notices something 'he is way too good for me though, no way i'd ever even have a chance' with that she heads home with a sudden confusing sadness emerging from inside , she gets home and goes on with her daily routine , she wonders about stuff here and there , yet a sudden doorbell rings , its her neighbor Nomi she says , 'there was a man who asked for her and told to give these , she hands the box to her' , thank you Zori replies and asks who it was? , she goes on saying 'it was a man who looked pretty rich , do you perhaps know anyone like him? He was quite handsome' she shrugs her head and yet greets her neighbor for the favor , she opens the box and there were more albums for her , she lays in utter shock and sits stiff for a minute or two , she says 'is he pitying me?' , she angrily keeps the box aside and goes about her day once again.

Joo's POV
i walk down around the neighborhood, i finish my coffee and throw it into a trash can beside a bench. I still see Zori through the window, i wave hopefully imagining her seeing me, but she doesn't. I keep walked to my house and see a note on the door saying: 'Hello, thank you for he albums, i really appreciate it.' I smile, so she really did like it? I put the note in my bedroom and go to the kitchen and grab me something to eat, i help myself to a honey bun and go to the living room and sit down, i then turn on the TV and watch something, going about my day.


_Next day_
Zori after writing the note last night , left it at his door and disappeared, goes about her usual everyday routine , cleaning up , dressing herself up and getting something to eat , she sits with down with her ipad to organize some stuff for submission before the end of the week , she finally finishes her work at  9pm , going out for a lil stroll around the park right infront of her house , she sits on a bench wondering about a specific someone , within a flash of minutes she remembers that she had left the note at his door , she wonders if she made the right decision and and wanders more deep into the park , when she almost feels like something or someone is following her , she doesn't dare stop nor turn behind to see who it is , all she sees is a shadow of a man , it was as if her sixth sense had her warned , luckily she lost the man and straight ran home , frightened and lost , not knowing what to do , she sits on her bed shivering cause of her previous dark deep past trauma..
A minute or two later she hears her door bell by then she was already asleep.

???: I'm sorry to say sir...i lost track of your fiance.
