Still in my heart

Denying the obvious

Taekwang and Soo Young sit on the bench near the school field.
"Is something happened yesterday?" asks Soo Young
"Aniyo. " answers Taekwang
" Liars! Something did happened. Ya! You think that I'm stupid?"
Taekwang doesn't say anything.
"Araso. Don't tell me if you doesn't want it. Ah cem. Why you asked me to come here? I thought that rooftop is your things. It's more cozy there and less cold"
"It just.. I don't want Eunbi to find me."
"Ah.. you're avoiding her. But don't you think that you're too confident, I don't think she's looking for you. You know, she has better things to do."
"Shut up!"
"Haha.. mianhe.. I'm just joking. This place is also nice. It could becomes our place." Soo Young smiles and continues, "And just like I said yesterday on the phone, I will help you."
"How? I tried before but I failed miserably."
"Actually I don't know. Hahaha"  says Soo Young while hide her face
"Ya! Jugule?!" protest Taekwang
"Mianhae. But nevertheless I said I'll help you so I will. So.. hmmm.. ahh.. try to contact her less. If you need someone, don't call her but call me." says Soo Young
She continues, "You know, not only I'm pretty but I can be reliable. Hehe"
"Aigoo.. Jeju really makes you crazy. Ya! You need to see the mirror first before saying that you pretty." jokes Taekwang
"Ya ya! Look at me." She use her hand to makes an aegyo gesture and says with an aegyo voice, "oppa.. When oppa said I'm not pretty, it makes me sad. Very very sad."
Taekwang see her with a disgusting face. He rumbles her hair and says, "stop it!"
"Wae? I'm cute right?" she continues teasing him with her aegyo.
Taekwang doesn't said anything, he just leave her.
"Ya! Taekwang oppaaaa.. wait for me.!" She stand up and chase him.
Taekwang push her when she's nearby and doing an aegyo towards him. They're just like two kids playing. They don't notice that someone see them from the rooftop.

Eunbi who's looking for Taekwang went to the rooftop but she couldn't find him. She looks around the rooftop but there's no Taekwang. She holds the handrails and looks at the field and she see them laughing. Eunbi bows her head and sighed. She mumbles, "I should be happy. I keep telling him that I always feel sorry for him because I can't return his feelings but why.. but why I can't be happy right now."

Eunbi lays down on her bed. She sees the big teddy bear from Yi Ahn. She takes a deep breath and says, "I have him. I have han yi ahn now. A guy that I like."
Suddenly a text message comes.
It's Yi Ahn's.
"Where are you now?" -Yi Ahn-
"Home. Wae?" -Eunbi-
"Can I see you?" -Yi Ahn-
"Sure. Where?" -Eunbi-
"Park. I'll be arrive around seven" -Yi Ahn-
"Araso. See you there" -Eunbi-
Eunbi gets up from her bed and takes her bag. She goes to the park to meet Yi Ahn. She waits for few minutes and see him. She waves at her and smile.
"Hi. Did I make you wait?" Says Yi Ahn
"Aniyo. Did you finished your training?" Says Eun bi
"Ne! Have you eat? Do you want to eat ramen?"
"Sure. I have a space for ramen in my tummy."
They walk to the convenience store and buy some ramen.
"Wuahh it's been awhile." Says Yi Ahn
"masitge deuseyo." says Eun bi
"I'm happy that you are back Eunbi-ah. I never knew that I can eat ramen with you. Eun byul never eat ramen after 7pm. She always said that it will make her face bloated."
"How's your training?" Says Eunbi, she tries to divert their conversations. Just for today, she doesn't want to hear about her sister from him.
"It's good. The competition is getting closer. It makes me nervous."
"I know you can do it."
"You will come to the competition right?"
"Ne."
"Yaksok?"
"Yaksok."
They're finished their ramen and went to their own home. Eunbi try to sleep but she can't. She close her eyes but her minds keep remind her of Taekwang and Soo Young giggling face. She gets up and open her study books. 'Maybe this will help' says her.
After so much struggling, she finally sleep in her desk around 3 am.
She wakes up with unwell feeling. She has a headache because lack of sleep. Her mom is concerned but Eunbi is insisting to go to school.
At the school, she try her best to hide her sickness. She barely eat her foods. She feels nauseous when she bites her food. Shijin and Song Joo haven't notice her sickness. They're busy with their study. They're preparing for next week exam.
She thinks her act can fool everyone but she's wrong. Taekwang notice her weird acts. He wants to ask her but Soo Young forbid him.
After school, she goes directly to her house. Her mom says that she shouldn't come to the shop. She wants Eunbi to takes a rest.
Meanwhile Taekwang follow her from behind because he still feels so concerned. When he starts to walk behind her, Soo Young asks
"Where are you going?"
"Home."
"Don't you have an English course today!"
"Ah majayo! I'm going to the course place."
"But that's the wrong way. I'm going to the same place. Let's go together."
"Hmmm.. I need to buy something first. You should go first."
Soo Young sighs and says "you're going to follow her right?"
"Ne" says Taekwang in weak voice
"Ya! Don't do it!"
"She looks so sick. I am afraid something will happen. Her sister is not here and her mom is in the shop. I just want to make sure, she's okay and arrive safely in her house."
Soo Young hold Taekwang arm and says, "please don't go."
Taekwang see her and look to Eunbi's direction. He push Soo Young's hand and says. "Mianhae. I'll meet you at the courses place okay"
He leaves Soo Young and run towards Eunbi. Soo Young sees him and she frowned.
"Who am I kidding? He never even looks at me. I think I am also an idiot. Waiting for the impossible to happen." sighed Soo Young.
