It's already been two weeks since Wonshik and Hongbin talk to Gie about Jaehwan delima. They will officially be a trainee under this one big entertainment company but one of the contract content was the trainees should not have a boyfriend or girlfriend and that sort of relations is prohibited for them to be more focus on training. Gie been thinking about that and she knows that's the things Jaehwan were about to tell but knowing how much he loves her as much as he love his dreams, it must be hard for him.
But on the other side of her story also, there's something she need to tell him. Never thought of the ending but seems like it was the best way for both of them. With that she take the courage and ask Jaehwan to meet her at the park, it was better for her to tell him first to make Jaehwan feel more ease and not to worry about it.
She been waiting for 10 minutes but as usual Jaehwan is still nowhere to be seen. She stand still near the bench tossing her feet playing with the sand.
Jaehwan been watching her since earlier. He was actually there even before she arrived, but somehow couldn't have the courage to meet her yet. Worried about how to tell her but as the time passed, he walked slowly and getting near her from the back and surprised her with a hug.
"Sorry I'm late" he said placing his head on Gie shoulder.
"Lee Jaehwan!!! I'm gonna get heart attacked from you" she said still in the same position.
"I'm sorry" he repeat giggling at her words and let go of the hug, turn Gie to face him.
"Miss me already? It only been two days since our last meet. But also its not my fault that you've been busy with something you can't tell me" he said lenght.
"There is something...." she said but pause and look at him, everything that she had in her mind before seems can't get to out from her mouth.
"I have something to tell you..." he said but cut by Gie.
"Let me tell you first before I forgot about it" she lying about the forgetting part while the truth is she worried and sad to tell him.
"What is it?" he said taking her arms in his and gently caressing her hand. Never they been in such suffocating athmosphere but he know it must be something serious conversation about to begin.
"I'm leaving..." she said but can't look him straight in his eyes.
"Again... how long this time?" he said with smile but only to hide his nervousness.
"This time... my dad been transferred to another country and its not gonna be few months or years, it's like we're settling down there for good. My parents even plan to sale the house" she doesn't really understand the sentence she said but with a sigh of relief that the words is finally out.
Silence immediately covered them not only no one of them are talking but it seems the time had stop.
"You telling me, you breaking up with me? Jaehwan said after few moment of silence between them.
"Maybe that's the best for us" with trembling voice try to hold her tears.
"No.. don't say that... I'm not letting you go. You know what you mean to me. I know you doing this because of me right? I know maybe that's true about your parents situation and that was just a coincidence, but being apart doesn't mean we breaking up" he said length, still caressing your hand.
"Jaehwan... please don't make it more complicated. Let's just..."
"No... I can't let you go..." he cut her word and hug her.
"Please... don't act like this..." she pat his back.
"No we not breaking up... it's a time off.. for both of us.. let's us continue our dream and if it's really... you and I were destined together we will see each other again" she added to calm him.
"Why is it so easy for you to say that?" he let go of the hug and look at her.
"No it's not easy... for me to tell you this... at first I thought it would be better to just go and not see you anymore but then I want us to have a good parting. I don't want the hate between us. I want if someday we had the chance to meet again, we will smile looking at each other and not avoiding" she said length to explain to him.
"What if we were not able to see each other ever again?" he look at her straight to the eyes.
"You being childish Jaehwan, how am I supposed too answer that when I've told you..." she avoid Jaehwan eyes and turn her back on him.
"I said 'If'... what if..." the words cut by the kiss from her.
He surprise by her act and stood still for few second before return the kiss, he take her in his hug, to close the gap between them. The passionate kiss the two young love birds share marked as goodbye kiss for both of them and they part after awhile and when Jaehwan realize the tears on his cheek. Gie tears.
"I'm sorry for being childish... I'm sorry if I'm not being a good boyfriend to you.." he said wiping the tears off her cheeks.
"I'm gonna miss you... Don't forget me" he added and try to smile.
"I love you" with that last words Gie turn and walk away.
He understand. She understand. Both of them understand the farewell is just a beginning of their lives journey. If they destined for each other they will meet again, and it will begin again.
