Bittersweet promise (Taeny Love Story❤❤)

Chapter 7: Erasing memories

I opened my wardrobe. I collected a few pants, sweaters and t-shirts. I arranged them on my bed. I took one of the sweaters. A black sweater with a bad MU logo on it, which I made by my self.

I didn’t know why, but I held the sweater tightly and smelled it. I just wanted to feel his presence. His smell. This sweater had his smell. But I knew, the smell would not here forever. It could be disappeared. Just like him.

==Flashback==

“I want a special gift.” He mumbled in his sleep. As usual, after a tiring work, I didn’t know why but this guy that I called as my-secret-boyfriend always comes up on my apartment. Then, he just slept on the sofa. I wanted to get a drink of water when I heard someone mumbling in his sleep.

I closed my self to him. He just looked so innocence while sleeping. But he could be a monster if I woke him up. “A gift? What gift?”

Then I realized something, just a week from now, he will celebrate his birthday. Gosh. I even didn’t realize it. I saw him, just wearing a t-shirt and jeans from his work. He worked until midnight and he still using casual clothes like this. It was just not enough. Then, an idea popped up in my mind. I knew, I could make a special gift for him.

***

I was waiting him until a midnight. It passed his birthday already, but he showed up yet. There were just 4 research reports that I need to finish this night and it really making me exhausted. Plus, waiting him to celebrate his birthday. Let’s see, the birthday boy will get an anger from me. I tried so hard to not sleep and I failed

I felt something in my lips. It felt so warming and tempting. I even had an eager to moan. “Urghh..” I opened my eyes slowly. I saw him kissing me. “Hey!” I tried so hard to break the french kiss. Well, pardon me but yeah… I just drown into the kiss also.

“What are you doing?” I finally could ask properly when we broke the kiss.

He grinned and answered, “Taking my present.” He rubbed my cheek. Her hand just so warm until I didn’t want it left me.

“Your present is not this. I have a better present for you.” I blinked my eyes.

His eyes were going to be wider. “Oh really? I didn’t expect you will care with my birthday.”

“Actually I was being forced too. Because every time I saw someone every night, just wearing t-shirt and jeans even he is a big actress and has a lot of money but couldn’t buy a sweater or jacket, I pitied him. So, I decided to make a sweater for you.” I handed over the sweater that I placed near the table.

He tried the sweater on. “Wow!! MU! I feel Christiano Ronaldo.”

I laughed and said, “I don’t think Christiano Ronaldo has a bad sweater like that. A terrible handmade sweater.”

“That’s true. Christiano Ronaldo can’t buy this sweater. Because this sweater is the most expensive sweater in the world, and I will not sell it.”

“Why?” I . Even I already knew the answer, I will just gladder if I hear from him self.

“Because this sweater has love in it.” He seemed so lost in his own world.

I woke him up. “Hey! Mr Hwang! Wake up! Who said it has love in it?”

“I can feel it. It is so warm.” Then his devil smile came out again. “But I don’t know, somehow, this birthday boy feel so cold. He need some loves in the bed with the girl in the pajama in front him.”

I immediately ran into my room and locked my door. I was screaming from my room. “Unfortunately, the birthday boy should be satisfied with the sweater.”

I could hear his laughs behind the door. I’m happy when he is happy.

==End of Flashback==

The reasons why some of his clothes were being kept in my apartment because he had always came here after his work. Even I always mad at him because he didn’t bring his own laundries to his apartment and make me washed them for him, but actually I was glad when I did that. I loved when I saw his clothes in my wardrobe because it could make me can feel his presence.

But I do realize now. I had to erase all memories that I had with him. Including these clothes. I felt like, I couldn’t do all this fake relationship anymore. He had found a new toy to play with. I had Daniel too. He even didn’t come lately to my apartment. The deal between us was if we found someone that better for each other, we can go to them. No hard feeling after that. Yup, no hard feeling.

I took a bag pack and packing all of his clothes. It was time to use his key apartment. For the first time.

****

I was already in front of his apartment. It almost 7 pm and I was sure he didn’t at home. I grabbed the key in my bag and tried to open the door.

I walked slowly and I found his apartment just like a mess. Spontaneously, I cleaned it up. When I finished, I shook my own head. “How could I leave him if he still couldn’t manage his own home?”

Then I heard loud voices from his bedroom. I heard some voices.

!~!~!

“What the do you expect from me huh?”

“The best one! I want the best one!”

“I’m enough Stephan. I just too tired doing all of these.”

“I love you Jessica. With all my heart. I love you from the past, the present and always will for future. Will you marry me?”

“I will.”

“That’s exactly what I need Jessica!”

!~!~!

I dropped the clothes bag. I heard him and Jessica from his bedroom. Before I could run, Stephan opened the door. He seemed like hearing me dropped my bag.

Three words when I faced him. I just could say those three words. “I hate you Stephan.”

****

I ran to the lift but it didn’t open. Stephan was running after me. He held my hand. “Taeyeon, listen to me!”

“I’m okay Stephan. I’m okay. Beside, who am I? I’m just Taeyeon. Someone that you can visit anytime you like. And you can leave anytime you love. I didn’t angry with you Stephan. I just hate you. Hate for ever said a promise just for breaking it. I have my Mushroom. It’s okay Stephan. Someone will take care of me until Mushroom comes. And this someone could be possibly my Mushroom.” I tried so hard not to cry. I just didn’t want he satisfied.

“Taeyeon, listen to me!” He grabbed my head and then kissing me deeply.

I just let my self being kissed by him. Perhaps, it would be our last kiss.

Then the lift door was opening. I broke the kiss. I immediately entered the lift and the closing it. Before that, I said to him. “That’s our last kiss.”

The lift door was closing.

(*) [Stephan’s POV]

I knew I couldn’t hold her. I just knew, I had lost all my hope.

I felt someone touched my shoulder. She was Jessica. “Is she her?”

“Yes, she is.”
