Remember Me

Chapter 5

A different perspective...

I had my beany on and a snowball in my hand, I threw it at a girl... strange enough, the girl I threw the ball at was my best friend, and first love. Jae Eun.

I remember when the snowball hit her, she started crying and I ran to her and helped her, our eyes met.

I miss her so much, and there was one key thing that I will always I remember about her...

I love her.

"Chanyeol, wake up. You have to leave remember? The flight is at 6 am"

"네 엄마, 나 아라"

I reluctantly rose of my bed and sat there, contemplating life for about 2 minutes before I stiffly got up made my way to the bathroom where I started grooming my self. I brushed my teeth, styled my hair and dressed up in my suit. Even though I am still a 'few' hours away from my mother land, I still wanted to look best coming home.

"Have you packed everything you needed?"

"Yes 엄마 (mum), how did you get here so early though?"

"Well, your father drove me here, you're leaving to go back home anyway, it's one of the last chances I'll get to you in a while"

"Yeah, I'll miss you too 엄마.."

After that brief greeting by my mother, I set out to return to Korea. I had all my luggage ready and am on my way to  London Airport, where my patience will be tested. I got there within 15 minutes, started checking in and got through the security without a problem. And there, I sat and waited...

The first flight was now over but there's still another that I need to catch, I'm waiting at its gate, dying for the 30 minutes to just pass. Even though I'm sitting in business class, does not mean getting on the plane will be any better. And so I continued to wait and wait, until I finally sat on the comfortable seat that will be the only comfortable seat that I will sit on for the next 5 hours.

It was a long, boring flight home, but it was near the landing process that a rush of excitement really gushed in me. I was suddenly flooded with memories, pouring in my head about my best shared moments back home, and nearly every single on of them had Jae Eun. When I go back, will I finally be able to see her again?

I got of the plane and drove from the airport, heading my way towards the city. I was hungry and wasn't satisfied by the food provided by the plane so I'm currently making my way to one of the best restaurants in Seoul. It's a five star restaurant with great cuisine, I'm getting hungry already thinking about it. But thankfully enough, I arrived quickly and entered through the door.

Its high ceilings and classy vibe that the music gives off. Muse. My temptation was increasing by the second so I made my way to table 61 where a beautiful waitress took my order.

"Hello sir, what can I get you?"

"Anything that's on special, thanks"

Her voice was gentle, graceful and had a relaxing tone, it calmed me instantly. She herself was beautiful. She wore her uniform and tied her hair up in a messy bun. Her skin was a beautiful, milk white, her smile, was gorgeous and her lavender scent that immediately attracted me. But her name, was Kim Jae Eun...

She walked away, and got my order. I didn't want to look like a stalker, staring at her but so I grabbed out the second most distracting thing I could think of, my phone. Even with it through, I would still look up to steal glances of her, she was a true beauty.

She was on her phone though, I wasn't sure if she noticed me. But I smiled, a lot. But her smile, there was something so familiar about it but I can't seem to make it out, is she really the Jae Eun I knew? She is beautiful if this was the case, not that she wasn't even back then.

I took a glance and looked above my phone screen to see something moving towards me, her.
I looked up at her, not being able to help smiling.

"Thank you very much"

"You're very welcome"

She turned around and proceeded to walk to the counter and I mumbled something, loud enough for her to hear but still quiet so she wouldn't be able to make out what I said

"You're beautiful"

She turned her head, but continued walking away. I soon finished my meal and she headed towards me to grab the plate. I decided to make the first move.

"Thank you for the food today Kim Jae Eun. My name is Park Chanyeol"

"You're welcome.. Ch- Chanyeol.."

I headed to the counter ready to pay for my food. She was standing there, waited for me to pay.
"That will be 67,000 won please. Cash or credit?" I get to hear her gentle voice again. She looked into my eyes, waiting for a response

"Credit thanks" I smiled.
She then proceeded to grab my credit card with her delicate small fingers and scanned my card. She handed me the receipt with a smile.

"Thank you" I took the receipt and turned away, heading towards the door. I then frowned at the realisation of the absence of her presence as I walked away from Muse and disappeared into the crowd.
