Forever Love

New Neighbor

"Noona.. Are you heading back to Korea already?" Dave asked since he saw Ji Hyo who had her luggage in the rented car. His expression doesn't seem to be miserable despite the fact that he was actually upset to see her leaving. He has been clinging to Ji Hyo ever since she came down to visit him. Without realizing, she was in Philippines for the whole month.

She brushed his scruffy hair and return with an answer. "Probably not for now, Dave. Actually...I made a last minute plan of visiting my friend from overseas."

"But noona..." His tone sounds uneasy with her decision. "You should be heading back to Korea by now. Don't you miss Kwang Soo hyung? Noona hadn't seen hyung for the whole month." Dave spoken suspiciously. He was getting curious on why she never had the plan of heading back to her country though she's been away for a long period. Dave tired of asking her the truth for almost a thousand times, but eventually Ji Hyo would switch the topic to avoid answering the question. She too never mentioned about her decision to leave Kwang Soo for good. The reason why she didn't mention is to avoid Dave from misunderstanding about the matter since he was still young to understand adult situation..

"I just wanted to travel somewhere for a moment. I wish I could stay longer with you.. But-" She didn't know what to say. She just loves the simple life in Philippines, but she just couldn't stay too long.

"Noona.. It's okay. I understand why you need to go." He came forward and gave her a surprising hug, leading Ji Hyo to be speechless. Eventually she replied by hugging him too. "But can I still send you letters, just as usual?" Dave asked after letting her off from his hug.

He just loves sending letters when he had the chance. There's has been countless of letters that they had sent to each other for the past few years, and Ji Hyo was still keeping them neatly. She even brought part of the letters that Dave wrote and shown him that she always cherish his hard work of sending letters to her. When Dave wanted to post new letters, he would have to walk 30 minutes to the nearest post office.

"Of course you can, Dave.. I will drop by a letter with the address, and you can send it as much as you want."

"As much as I want?" Dave asked to make sure what he heard was true. He was afraid to send letters to her frequently till that she would be annoyed with him.

She nods with his question. "As much as you want. I will miss you so much, Dave." She confessed and literally breaks into tears.

"Aey.. Noona has been crying so much." Dave wiped off the tears from her and gave a warm smile. "Noona need to be strong for yourself.. And for the baby."

She knew that what Dave said was true. She couldn't be so weak hearted anymore. She made a promise to Dave and herself to be a strong lady. Her emotion had been affected the baby too much and she didn't want that to happen once more. "I will.. Take care of yourself, Dave. Send my regards to your family too. When the baby arrives, I will send you a photo of it." She gave a quick peck on his cheek, appreciating him as his dongseang.

"Noona... I-" Dave started to choked into tears. She didn't want to cry again since she made a vow of being strong, but when she sees Dave who was sobbing, she joined him as well.

"Yah Dave.. You asked me to be strong.. But look at you too. You are crying." Ji Hyo could only give him a comfort with a long hug and they both cried in the hug. "Baby Dave~" She mumbled with a sob.

"Saranghaeyo, Ji Hyo noona.." Dave whispered in her ear with his accent. He showed his love to Ji Hyo as a siblings love, and he truly appreciate how caring she is towards her after all these years.
