A Second Chance

chapter sixty four

FIRST POV

You were washing dishes.

-flashback-

"It's already been decided!" You yelled, there was pure silence between you and Seung Ho.

"What?" He barely managed to stay "it's been... decided, Seung Ho" you clenched your fists tightly. "Since when?" You didn't wanna look at him, look at the worry in his face.

"Awhile back Seung Ho" You answered with a depressing tone. "So you've known this whole time...?" "I—" Seung Ho cut you off before you could say anything.

"Am I a fool to you!? Am I nobody to you, why the fuck did you not tell me!?" You finally looked at his face. He looked angered.

"I didn't wanna tell you anything because I didn't wanna spend my last days being depressed and worrying you! I wanted us to enjoy our time!!"

"And what happens after that!?" You stayed quiet "you'll forget me Seung Ho! That's that!"

"What if I can't!?" You were taken back by his words "what're you talking about Seung Ho..?"

"What if all my life, when I meet someone new. I can never all for them... cause they're not you!" His angered face eased up, his eyes started becoming watery.

Seung Ho put his hand in his pocket like he was searching for something. He pulled out a medium sized box.

"This was for you," you took it from his hand. "Leave" he demanded turning away from you "Seung Ho—" "I said, leave" he repeated himself.

You took a small step back, looking at him once more until you finally walked away to the door.

-present-

"Ji Hyun!" You snapped out of it, you looked over your shoulder "I'm heading out. Make sure everything is clean once I get home" eomma said and walked out the house. You sighed heavily.

You finished cleaning the kitchen and went to your room. Something caught your eye, it was the gift Seung Ho had got for you, you still haven't opened it til this day. It's been two days since anything.

You turned on your phone to look at your text messages with him.

You'd text him but he'd reply with dry, short messages or be left on seen.

You sighed. You grabbed the box on your shelf and opened it.

You picked up the gift from its box.

It was a bracelet. One you felt familiar with

-flashback-

You came down stairs after putting the kids to sleep. You stretched your arms.

Today was busy.

You noticed Seung Ho coming in.

"Oh you're home? I thought you were going to work late again" "it's Christmas week, so not a lot of work" you smiled and walked over to him to help him take his coat off.

"How about some hot chocolate? I made some for the kids earlier" you offered "ah, it's alright. It's an already l—" you cut him off and grabbed his hand.

"C'mon, we all need some hot chocolate. I'll even add some marshmallows for you" he sighed and gave in. You took him to the kitchen, you were pouring him some hot chocolate.

"By the way..." you looked over to him. He took out a luxurious box out from his pocket and handed it to you.

"Early Christmas gift" you blushed lightly. "Thank you," you opened it, it sparkled in your eyes.
