chanyeol's POV

"wow relax chanyeol ya. are you confident in doing this?" baekhyun said as he stands infront of me with hands on her waist.

"yes." i replied as i hold a ring. a promise ring that i want to give to hyeju.

"well, good luck with that. i'll just be at my place and call me if anything happens chanyeol-ah." he said leaving my apartment.

"ah, pabo ya." i slapped my own cheek and sighed as i looked at the ring. this is such a childish thing to do. a promise ring? jiwon will laugh at me if i gave this to her.

"huh, don't be afraid chanyeol. you are not a scaredy cat." i said to myself closed my eyes. i hope she will accept this ring. i immediately put the ring into my pants pocket and off to the happy house.

i took off my jacket and from outside the library, i saw hyeju having story telling session with the kids. i stood there like a watcher until jiwon hit my forearm.

"ouch?!" i held my forearm and she stared at me weirdly.

"waeyo? why are you standing here like a statue? you have some files to managed in the office." she said, folding her arms infront of me.

"huh, fine." i huffed and advanced my steps to the office.

after a couple of minutes in the office, i got out and didn't saw hyeju. it was my shift and jiwon was at the counter, on the phone.

i didn't want to bother her to ask about where hyeju is.

--

it was 11.50 pm and i was still at happy house.

the office was quite dark because i turned off some lights. i was sitting on the chair, staring at the wall while holding the promise ring.

do i have to give this to her?

but it's late.

she'll not come.

i put the promise ring on the table and sighed. it was midnight and there was no sign of her.

should i wait more?

i rubbed my neck and laid my head on the table.

suddenly i heard the door squeak opened.

there she is.

but she was crying.

"hye-hyeju?" i called her and her eyes were staring at me sadly.

"chanyeollie.." she replied and wiped her tears.

her fragile body dropped on the floor and i quickly went to her. "hey, what's wrong?" i asked her as i hold her shoulder.

"taehyu-ng, passed away.." she muttered and hugged me. her tears soaked my shirt but i didn't care.

her sob could be clearly heard and her grip onto my shirt was tighter. "he left just like that.." she said again.

i caressed her hair with my hand to comfort her.

she just liked taehyung so much, even they are only a friend. now he's gone. i didn't knew this thing would happen and i didn't get along with taehyung since we fought that day.

"where's the happy hyeju i used to see?" i patted her back and our gap slowly loosen. she was still sad and she looked weak.

"hey, let me tell you a story." i said to her.
