19 - Long Time No See

SUNGYEOL's POV

I am on my way to pick Zeisha up from her school. Yesterday has been hectic for me, and I have to make it up to her today. I smiled as I try to imagine her sulking expression. She must be upset hearing nothing from me yesterday. And yeah, I miss that woman and her cute pouting face that is just as big as the palm of my hand.

Taking a turn on the last corner before the school, I started to sing a song that keeps on playing in my head. 'Oh she's back, she's back, she's back, she's back... Oh she's back, oh she's back, she's back...'

Stopping when my phone in the dashboard signalled an incoming call, I turned my blinkers on. "Hyung, why? I'm on my way to pick Zeisha up. How's Naeunie?"

"Oh... I just... I needed someone to talk to. I'll just call Woohyun then and borrow him from Princess."

"All right Hyung. I'll come hang out with you tomorrow." I sighed. Sunggyu hyung is in trouble again.

With only a few meters away from the gate, I immediately stepped on my car's break when I saw a woman walking in an unsteady pace. Looks like any minute from now, she'll fall to the ground.

Going down and out of my car on my fastest possible, and with my car just awkwardly parked at the street, I arrived in front of the woman just on time. She fell right into my arms, her semi-conscious body falling to me in a hug-like position.

"Miss! Are you okay?" I slightly shifted her body for me to take a better look at her face, but I had her full weight on me so it wasn't successful. Now, I feel like I have totally become a pole.

"Hmmmm... ashfjflfjfhffal." The woman murmured so I struggled once more to take a look at her face for me to understand what she is trying to say.

The second I was able to look at her face is the very same second I felt my body stiffen, as if a lightning has struck me.

How long has it been again? 3 years? After 3 long years, she is now standing right here next to me. Scratch that. She is now enveloped in my arms. My first ever love, and the synonym of my teenage life chapters, Choi Jarel.

"Oppa?" Of all the times that I wanted to hear her voice, now is the only exemption. Not at this time when a woman is in my arms and we are in a super awkward position. Zeisha. "Oppa.. I thought you are here to pick me up? Or was it a message that was meant to be sent to someone else?"

Mariah Carey was totally lying when she said 'Lightning don't strike the same place twice', because I just got stricken, twice. I just stood frozen on my cold sweaty feet.

I heaved a deep breath before forcing myself to talk. "Zee.. I can explain."

"Yeah.. Just text me later. We'll go ahead for now. Let's go Dij." And she passed by me with an expressionless face that is not-so-Zeisha-ish.

Just as much as I wanted to go after her and explain, the weight of Jarel's now unconcious body reminded me that I need to bring her to a hospital. I swept off the thought of Zeisha away and headed to my car, with Jarel on my arms.

"Hyung! What are you doing here?" Sungjong has just arrived in the hospital for his nightshift and I happened to bump into him right when he was coming inside the emergency room. He looked around with questioning eyes, and finally, his eyes were caught by Jarel's familiar face. "Huh? Isn't she..."

"Jarel.." I interrupted.

"Right. The one and only Jarel who broke your heart." He commented in a low voice accompanied with a smirk on his face, his eyes never leaving Jarel. "Zee should know about this."
