I was sitting on a lakeside,
'' was a bench for people to sit and relax while witnessing the beautiful lake scenery upfront.When suddenly Konon came up to,holding two cups of coffee.''Need one? Even if I didn't,I still have to take one of the cups,right? Exactly!So what are you doing?Nothing just waiting for any interesting or beautiful scene to occur for my sketch.Oh,is that so? What do you mean,Konon? Huh....I meant, were you still thinking about him?Oh.............""
Am I not enough,Jake?..........................""
Don't be silent, you idiot!!!''Then suddenly Konon placed her head on my shoulders, leaning,The silence filled the place, not even people from other's places voice weren't hear able.Like everything just stopped.Nothing was moving, no sounds were coming except from some sobbing sounds from the right side of me,which were from Konon.I took a glance at her and again went back to stare at the lake.After sometimes the sobbing stopped.And finally removed her head from my shoulder.''Sorry,Jake.I....I have to go.I can't wait till you finish your art today.''And stood up to go.But before leaving, she turned in my direction with a sad while wipping the the tears with the back side of her palms.
My idiotic self still didn't leave or even went somewhere else from the bench.Neither did I draw or sketch anything else.The whole thing with Konon is still haunting me,even after 2 hours.
(*Birds's Chirpings*)''Huh.........I wonder why am I even expecting to meet you again? Sunghoon,have you already forgotten about me? The young, skinny, ill boy you once made paper birds for!''GIVE IT BACK' " "Why is he screaming again? Should I go,ask him if he wants something?If he keeps on screaming,then when uncle and aunt return and hear an unknown boy's voice around their house, he might get into trouble.I really should go and warn him about my uncle and aunt's anger.''Then Jake again went to balcony,from where 8 years old was,outside.'Please,come down.I know you might not like me, but if you don't keep your voice down,then you might get into trouble when my uncle and aunt come back. I don't care about your uncle and aunt.JUST GIVE ME MY BLUE PAPER PLANE BACK!!Ah!!..please don't shout that loudly.It makes me scared.Oh baby skeleton ,gets scared of loud noises''.After hearing Sunghoon's words,Jake no longer could hold his tears.''I.....I.....'Tsk'Just give back the blue thing you are holding.You... you are so rude.Yeah,yeah, whatever!But how many more times do I have to say 'It'?! Here it is,your plane.''Jake offered with reaching his from the grills of balcony, and Sunghoon snatched the offering with the help of a small high-jump to reach the height of balcony.And left instantly once he got his plane back.
Jake reached near the black backpack he always carried almost everywhere he went and took out his sketch book.
''Huh......Sunghoon,Sunghoon,I don't what happened after that, but you came there again, but not to be mean to me or anything like that.Which was surprising,because our first meeting was.......Okay okay let's just finish it here.''Jake said to no-one but his imaginary friends.While turning the pages of his sketch book,which held the memories him and Sunghoon.He tried to put on the page.
''But Sunghoon,to tell you the truth, I was really grateful for you to treat me better from our first meeting.''''Oh!Jake, sorry for the previous day!!''I meet Konon today.And it was the first thing she said to me while I got frozen at the spot again,just by remembering the incident between us from the previous day.She began again,''I mean,you already did reject me once,So it was inconsiderable of me to ask you twice.I'm sorry for forcing myself onto you.''She once again became tearful.[Do something you idiot.DON'T STAY FROZEN.You can not lose your only friend you have!!]''It,it is not your fault.Huh!!''[ Finally, my idiotic useless self was useful for once it managed to say something] What do you mean?I,,I mean, we can't control our feelings,right?''I tried to comfort Konon and insisted on a hug if she needed one? Which she agreed on!''Jake''She said after a while,while freeing herself from the hug.''Yes!I can help you to find him.What?!Can I help you,to look for him?No,it will be insensitive of me-Hush!let me.But.It is on me,Jake.Thank you so so much Konon for being such an amazing friend.''I exclaimed, wrapping her into another hug and spinning her around.''Yeah,yeah, now put me down.Oh,okay, okay,sorry.You are not sorry at all!!'' Time passes between us.
''So Jake, how was meeting the boy,you told me from your childhood was like at first?Oh!Meeting him for the first time was so........So?A-amazing!!
