"And that was the last thing I told him before spending the rest of my money on dresses" I smiled upon hearing Mrs. Chu's story with her husband who died a few years back, their love story is something you found find in romance novels, If I didn't know Mrs. Chu I wouldn't have believed it, it was too perfect,

Her stories make me wish to have a love story like theirs too.

"Why did he die Mrs. Chu?" A sigh left her lips "Due to old age," My smile turned to a frown when I saw her sad face "These days I keep dreaming about him and it makes me miss him even more" I held her hand tightly

I know what it feels like to miss someone that is no longer with you, I know that feeling very well.

"Maybe it's a sign to tell me my time is soon" She laughs and I gave her an angry blank face "Stop." It's crazy how quick she can change her mood

"I'm sorry I'm sorry" Her laughing was so contagious it caused me to laugh too

"Oh Aeri, I forgot to ask, did you have your weekly checkup yesterday? You didn't tell me anything about it, what happened?"

Oh shit.

I completely forgot about my weekly checkup.

Because my lovesick ass was busy making out with Riki, but I cannot tell her that.

"Nothing happened" I hoped my innocent smile would fool her "Didn't you tell her about your head hurting after hearing "blessing from your parents"?"

Damn it Mrs. Chu, you're making me a liar now. "No I forgot about it" She shook her head "You're so forgetful Aeri" I scratched my head pretending as if everything I had said to her had actually happened

"Next week tell her alright?" I nodded "Alright I have some work I have to do I'll see you later on Aeri"

"Mhm, take care" I waved as she grabbed her walking  stick and left

I took a brisk around the back gardens taking a deep breathe with every step, it is truly wonderful how peaceful and quiet it is, well there were birds chirping all around me but it wasn't bothersome

I soon realized I arrived at the playground, I went and lay down on the shortest one, It remind me of my childhood and I loved it,

I laid there for hours just thinking about what I'm supposed to do next and finally I have made a decision

I'm going to tell Riki I like him.

I smiled widely just thinking of his possible response, then suddenly someone sat down on the slide next to mine which caused me to sit up straight and look at the person

"Hi Aeri..." He gave me a faint smile "Jungwon! What are you doing here?" His presence caught me by surprise

"Are you sliding your worries away?" I furrowed my eyes "Huh?"

"I remember last time you told me when you were younger you slid down slides and imagine your worries sliding away with you" How on earth did he even remember?
