Chohee's POV

" When ? " I asked my mom while she's in the kitchen making some rice cakes to give to all our neighbours.

" Tomorrow. " She replied calmly.

" What ? So soon ? " She nodded and I walked up to my room where I took out my Hanbok. It's been a long time since I've last taken it out to wear it.

I placed it neatly on my bed as I tried to straighten it so that it wouldn't be ruffled up.

I went back down when my mom told me to go to the grocery store to get some groceries. I nodded as she gave me the money for groceries.

As I walked out , I saw Jisung with his bike , walking out of his house. I glared at him before walking past him.

I walked to the groceries store and grabbed all the ingredients written on the piece of paper that my mom needed.

After I paid for it , I walked out to realised it's raining really heavily and I have no umbrella with me at the moment.

I would buy an umbrella but I don't have enough money to pay for it.

My eyes wandered around to see many people holding umbrellas as they walked under the rain. Some with their love ones , some by themselves but someone caught my eyes.

Someone that was supposed to be the breadwinner of my family.

Appa.

He wasn't alone , he was with another woman and a young girl. He held the young girl in his arm while the other arm he used to hold the woman's waist.

The woman was holding onto an umbrella and they were happily walking while chatting.

My mom probably doesn't want us to find out about it since she kept saying that my dad is in America doing business.

I held onto the groceries bag tightly as tears were threatening to fall out of my eyes.

I've always thought that my dad was in America and he would return to our family soon but I guess I was wrong.

He will never come back home.

My dad left us when I was 12 , I remembered the last words he told me before the fatherly figure of his walked through the door and never came back.

" Remember that I'll always love you no matter what happens. "

Is that the truth ?

I wanted so bad to run to him but I know i'm in no position to do that. Who am I ?

I should have noticed it earlier. My mom would always cry herself to sleep but yet , I didn't noticed anything. I thought she was stressed out but that's not the only reason.

I decided to walk under the rain.

Rain drops were hitting against the surface of my skin but I didn't care. I guess I felt numb.

People were staring at me but I didn't care.

I was about to cross the road when I felt a hand grabbing onto my wrist. I looked up to see Jisung with a stern expression.

" Are you crazy ?! " He screamed and I looked at the traffic light which shows red man.

" Do you want to die ?! " He asked and I nodded.

" Yes I do. " I said calmly and yanked his arm away. I felt like a bad daughter , I can't do anything for my mom when I see her getting hurt.

He held onto my wrist again and dragged me to the near by park where there is shelter.

I kept quiet , picturing the scene I witnessed just now. My dad , the person who I thought would only love me , Chan and my mom dearly actually have another family of his own.

Jisung threw me his coat and I looked at him blankly. He looked away as if nothing happened , I grabbed onto his coat and was hesitant to take it.

" Just wear it or else you're going to catch a cold. " He said and I wore it.

" What happened ? " He asked hesitantly.

I looked at the rain as it hits against the floor and splatters. The soft splattering sound of the rain is so soothing.

" Have you ever experience the pain of seeing someone you love lie to you ? " I asked softly and he nodded.

" Remember a couple years ago when I was that chubby little boy and I have a crush on this girl who became my girlfriend ? " I nodded.

" Well , I caught her cheating on me with my best friend so I just pretended like I didn't know anything because I love her so much. " He said and I looked over at him.

" Jerk. " I muttered and he asked what I said , so I just repeated what I said.

" How dare she hurt someone and just leave like that ? How dare she hurt someone that love her and trusted her so much ? " Tears began rolling down my cheeks like rainfall.

" Ya , why are you crying again ? " Jisung passed me a piece of tissue paper as I took it and started cleaning my tears.

" Aren't you going to ask about me ? " He shook his head and sighed.

" The fact that you aren't saying it means that it did hurt you a lot and I wouldn't want someone I hate to ask me about something personal to me. " It hits me hard that I said mean things to him.

" I-I don't mean what I said about you. " I said as I looked down at my fingers.

" Nah It's fine. I know you do hate me a lot. " I looked over at him and shook my head.

" Really , I don't anymore. " He smiled and ruffled my hair playfully. Weirdly , at that moment my heart fluttered a little.

" Why don't you hate me anymore ? " I thought for a moment and just , I don't know why. I just don't hate him much anymore.

" I don't know. " I said.

" Does it means we are on good terms now ? " I shrugged and he nodded as he looked into the far distant.

" Remember when we were younger and we would always be in this park ? " I nodded as we thought about the childhood memories we had together in this park.

" I remembered I was forced to do a duet with you and I got so mad that I cried. " Both of us chuckled , thinking back about the memories.

We sat under the shelter as we talked about our childhood memories and all the fun we had singing in this park with all the adults.

" Do you want to do a duet ? "

Honestly in this book , this is the chapter that I wrote using the least time. I took less than 30 mins to write this chapter cause I thought about it just now HAHHA

To the other writers , how do you guys create scene ?

I would usually act it out so that I would feel the true emotion the characters experience :)
