WGM Effect 2.0

Newfound Road

This is it...

This is pretty much it...

Joy eyelids fluttered from the kiss. She glanced up, her heart hammering like it was about to go out from her chest.

He was still closing his eyes. He opened it soon after but Joy can see that his eyes were still hooded from the slight graze of their lips together.

"Can I?" Sungjae asked softly as he brushed his thumb on her right cheek asking for further permission.

She nodded. She did not know where she got the courage from but she did and he spared no time to mould their lips together bringing up intensity that both of them was not aware of.

That is where everything started to get weird with them. She started to want more of his attention and both of them know it was not possible.

That was the past...

And here they were, gazing through the cold city night.

It was a windy night... that day. Where the busy city lights flicker and cars honking to make their way to their destination.

"We hurt each other too much, Joy... and we barely have time for each other too.."

"i get it oppa.. i really do."

By all means, Joy really do get it. She had begged him over and over again not to do this to them.

"Oppa please..."

"Please we can work it out.."

At times, she spend the entire sleepless night crying trying to change his mind. They tried to work it out but it was not possible. Their environment are not letting them be.

It was hard.

Really hard.

"Can we go back to how we used to be then.. friends with no complicated unresolved relationship?" Sungjae had asked sounding desperate to hold onto any lingering attachment they had.

"You have plenty of other woman you are close to right?" Joy snickered. She didn't mean to sound bitter but she did and she was not willing to let this lingering affection to break her heart yet again.

"Joy. You know it is not that right?"

"Oppa, if you going to let me go. Then let me go properly. If you want to hold onto me then hold on. This is not it. If you going to let me move on, then I'm not going to be close with you anymore."

Sungjae staggered as he looked at the woman's back.

Never once she spared him any look.

Joy finally turned to look at him.

She smiled. That bright joyful smile of hers.

Why is she smiling at this kind of times

"Don't feed woman lies that you cannot keep oppa."

"J-joy.." Sungjae tried to hold on to her hand. She pulled her hand away... leaving his hand cold. Absent of any warmness

"Must we oppa? Must you hurt me like this. In our working environment it is normal you going to interact with other woman.. and at times they might be even closer to you than me because you are working with them but what we have.. you going to just ignore it?"

Sungjae stayed silent. His eyes closing trying to gather his composure. As he breathe in and out, his grip on Joy's hand grew weak too.

Naturally, she understand where this is going.
