Reactive Love

Do You Love Me??

Ji Hyo was in Gary's home for another night. Counting days that she's been taken from Gary for almost a month. Right now, they dragged themselves in his room and cuddle each other to get some warmth on bed.

The thunder usually frightens her so much that she would of hid herself under her blanket. But for now, she only laid her head on his chest with no fear, listening to his heart beating smoothly. It make her felt secure enough that she slowly closed her eyelid.

"Staying one more night, Mong Ji??" He whispered in her ear.

"Hhm...." Ji Hyo was drowsy enough to talk for today.

He stroked her hair gently a little while, putting her into sleep. Watching his sleepy girlfriend really make him to smile happily that he planted a goodnight kiss on her bare forehead.

As she was about to enter into a deep sleep, her phone began to buzz on the table lamp. She hate to answered calls, especially during the hour when she's sleepy. Seeing his girlfriend who's ignoring the call, Gary pat her shoulder gently to wake her up.

"Mong Ji...Your phone. It's buzzing over and over again. You better answer it. It could be an emergency call from your manager."

She stuck one's lips out as her sight gazed on Gary before reaching herself for her phone beside her. Thinking that it's could be a private call, she left Gary alone in the room and get herself in the dining room. She answered while letting out a big yawn.

"Hello???"

"Ji Hyo!!! Are you with Kwang Soo??" Jong Kook yelled on the phone nervously.

She felt curious that it's Jong Kook who called her in the middle of the night. She knew that Jong Kook all these while will take his bedtime before midnight. Unless he was still on working hours.

"Owh oppa. No..I haven't seen him for the whole day. Waeyo??"

"Ji Hyo-ah.... I just received a call from the gym staff a little while ago. He informed that Kwang Soo did not collect back his belongings from the locker today."

"Can't you collect it on other day?? I meant... It's his personal locker after all isn't it??"

"They need us to clear up our locker since they will be closing down for renovation. They predicted that it will last for weeks. We both went to the gym for a few hours but I had left before him."

Jong Kook felt so stressful that he placed his palm on his forehead. He regret with his action for allowing Kwang Soo and Yuri to be all alone.

"What was he doing before you left?" Ji Hyo asked impatiently. It appeared that she sensed something went wrong with Kwang Soo.

"He...had a chat with Yuri in the evening. I didn't-"

She screamed on the phone without waiting for him to complete his sentence.

"WITH YURI?! Why didn't you waited for him till he left?! I'm getting mad with you oppa!!! I'm going to look for him right now."

"We both... We will look for him really quickly. The rain is pouring very bad right now."

She quickly ended the call and ran out from the house. She was worry enough of Kwang Soo that she failed to informed Gary that she need to left the house earlier. Gary heard the door slammed really hard that he stuck out his head from the room door and called out for her.

"Mong Ji???"

The rain was badly enough that it make few loud thunder happened at the same time. She ignored it and ran out to get her car which was parked under the rain. By the time she reached for her car, she was completely soaked. She rub her both hands together to get herself warm enough. She felt numb to move her fingers due to the cold rain.

Her six sense had shown the uneasy feeling that he will did something foolish in his life. She pressed on the engine button and drove away in a search for Kwang Soo. The road was slippery that she almost collided in a car crash. She slammed on the brakes and the car swerved to a stop. Putting her head against the car streering and catched her breath.

"Come on....Where the hell are you??? Think, Ji Hyo. Think!!!" She forced herself to figure out by hitting her head.

She cried silently. Feeling afraid at the same time that she might lose Kwang Soo in her life. She did a speed dial, calling him a few times but failed to be reached.

Slowly she dug into the past where Kwang Soo mentioned that he would stopped at an area when he's feeling down. The spot where they both had those can beers till she was drunk for the whole night.

"B-b..Banpo Bridge...." She mumbled to herself.

With high confidence, she drove away and headed to Banpo Bridge. She pressed on the gas while driving, increasing the speed but at the same time making sure that she's driving safely till she reached to her destination.

The heavy rain was still pouring that she couldn't see a single thing from the car screen. She turned back and looked for an umbrella on the backseat. She then found out that she left the last one in Gary's place.

With no choice in her, she ran out from the car and search for Kwang Soo. She search for him in every angle, making sure that she doesn't miss any spot.

The Banpo Bridge was an opened spaced area. She started to feel dizzy, unwell that she wanted to collapse in a blink. Feeling weak despite the cold weather, she still forced herself to look for him.

"Kk-Kwang Soo!!! Kwang... Atchoo!!!!"

She looked ahead with one eye shut. A few meter ahead, there was a long figure which seemed familiar to her. The man who she was looking for was laying on the ground with his both hands behind his head, supporting his head as a pillow.

He was fully drenched as it seemed that he just dived himself into the river. He laid there all alone in the rain like waiting for someone's arrival to pick him up. She slowly take her steps and approached to his direction. She stood patiently till his eyes caught into hers. She smiled but only a frozen smile.

He doesn't want Ji Hyo to watched him in despair. He quickly put away his sight away from her and stood on the ground, but leaving his head a little lower.

There were no tears caught on his face due to the heavy rain that covered it up, yet its cleary to be seen his puffy red eyes. He slowly stood in front of his noona with his empty eyes.

"I'm sorry noona..." He apologized sincerely. He running out of idea to express it out his feelings.

She couldn't understand what was that for, still she accept it with an open heart. She slowly held out a hand hugged him with love. She tried to give him a hope that theres still love in everyone's life.

"Kwang Soo...Don't give up. There's always hope in everything. Noona is here to help you."

Slowly he started to sobbing in front of her. He never cry heavily in his life till today, which causes Ji Hyo to felt even sorry for him.

"Fuck my life.... I'm dying in here." He finally spilled it out, the pain that was hidden in him all this while. He felt like been stabbed with a knife in his heart several times.

She hate to hear that word from Kwang Soo. She holds his head with her hands and pulled herself closer, planting a long kiss on his lips.

He knew that she's no longer single, yet he didn't pulled himself away from it. He was in despair that he needed something from her to loosen the burden.

It was his first kiss with Ji Hyo, who he loved all these while. There were no words to describe how hurtful he was, still Ji Hyo knew what wandered in his mind.

Meanwhile, her boyfriend who had been keeping an eye on Ji Hyo since she left his house was standing in the rain with Ji Hyo's umbrella in his hands. He witnesses the whole scene between them both. Gary now feeling confused whether does she love him as a brother or a lover right now.

Stunned that he only asked himself. "Love me or not, Mong Ji???"
