Good Bye

Jisoo dangled the set of keys in her hand and let them make a slight clink noise on the top of the table as she stared at them. When Krystal, Jin, and Keun-suk entered the room, they all looked around in confusion. “Jisoo, where is Teacher Jang’s girlfriend?” Jin voiced the question they were all thinking out loud.

Jisoo rolled her eyes as she stood up out of her chair. “First, she said she’s not his girlfriend, yet.” She made sure to put emphasize on the last word making Jin and Krystal confused. “Second, stupid. She’s not here, so clearly she left.”

“How come?” Krystal asked.

“I asked her to stay but she didn’t want to.” Jisoo said. “I asked her, since she was already here, why not meet with the teacher, then leave.” She started to tell them everything that happened.

Jisoo wondered why the woman in front of her was in such a rush to leave. “Jin will be back with him soon, and you can see him yourself.”

Jangmi kept her emotions in check as she stared at the girl in front of her. “We can’t see each other. We’ve agreed, until after Wednesday, I won’t meet with him.” Even though she thought she was hiding it well, Jisoo could still see the pain in her eyes as she spoke. She knew how such a pain felt and part of her pitied the woman. “But I need to give this to him before Wednesday. So…may I ask you to deliver it to him?”

She held a thin wrapped present out to Jisoo with shaky hands. Feeling that it would be wrong to refuse her request, Jisoo gently took the gift from her. “Oh, ok.”

“Thank you.” Jangmi said giving her a warm yet sad smile.

Jisoo looked down at the present in her hands and observed it. “But…will he know what it is for?” She asked.

Jangmi set her sad eyes on the item. “He’ll know when you give it to him.” Suddenly remembering something, Jangmi started to look through her purse. After a bit of searching her hand emerged holding a small set of golden house keys. She also held them out to Jisoo, who raised her eye brow in confusion. “These keys. Can you also give them to him?”

“This?” Jisoo asked.

Jangmi smiled at the innocent girl in front of her. “It’s his house key.” Finally, she stopped hiding the pain and let it show on her face as she moved a finger over the cool metal of one of the keys. “I don’t think I will be using it for a while. Please.” She practically begged Jisoo as she held the keys back out.

Jisoo once more felt she had no other option than to grant her wish. “Ok.” She whispered as she grabbed the keys and placed them on top the present.

“Thank you.” Jangmi said before quickly leaving Jisoo alone in the club office.

“It’s this.” Jisoo said as she held the present out for Keun-suk to take. “And these keys.” Keun-suk blushed slightly as he also took the keys.

“What is that, teacher?” Krystal asked as she noticed him staring unbelievingly at the wrapped object in his hands.

Keun-suk took a deep breath to try and settle the mix of emotions that were now raging inside of him. “I searched for a long time but couldn’t find one. She’s found one for me.”

“Why did she say she had to give it to you before Wednesday, and that she can’t see you before then?” Jin asked.

“Wednesday?” Krystal repeated over and over as she tapped her chin as she thought about why that day sounded important. Suddenly recalling what it was, she turned to Jin with a big smile on her face. “That’s Lonna’s birthday.” Jisoo and Jin’s eyes went wide with shock. Krystal’s smile faded quickly as she slowly turned back to Keun-suk. “Teacher, your girlfriend couldn’t be jealous of Lonna, right?” She asked.
