My Life in Seoul

Chapter Five : The Friendship

Note :  Thought

I'm just arrived in front of Jessica's apartment and try find the key from my pocket to open the door when I realize she do same beside me. This is our first encounter after what happen that night a week ago. " Hey.. " I greet her softly. " Just got home? "

" Yeah, my friends take me out for dinner. "

I nods my head and suddenly remember something. Today is her birthday. I forget. Now I don't know what to say to her. My words seems vanish inside my head and we just stand there without talking. " Umm.. I found an apartment.. " I change the subject. Trying to make it less awkward, but she seems surprise when heard it, I can see it from her face.

 " Really? "

" Yeah, it just 2 blocks from my company building. "

" Well, good for you.. " she said as flash a little smile for me.

Seeing that, I sighed and take a deep breath before decide to bring up the topic. " Sica we need talk about what happen before.. " I said to her softly.

She turn to look at me and just nod. " I know.. " she answer faintly as open the front door of her apartment.

" SURRRRPRISEEEEEEEE!!! " suddenly the voice from inside startled both of us, make us almost jump from out feet. 

Turn out it was Krystal and some of Jessica friend who decide to make surprise party for her.

" Happy birthday to you ~ Happy birthday to you ~~ Happy birthday dear Jessicaaaaa ~~ Happy birthday to youu ~ " 

A giant cake full with candle present in front of her.

" Don't forget to make a wish. " Krystal said to her as she smile.

Jessica chuckles and close her eyes. Whisper a little wish on her heart before blow all the candles above the cake. Happiness claps and cheers suddenly heard after she do that.

I just amazed with what happen in front of me. There's a moment when my eyes meet her, right before she blow the candle. In that moment suddenly I knew what she wish in her little prayer before. The thing is, can I make it come true..?

Jessica birthday party went smoothly. Everyone looks enjoy it. I just know that Jessica is very popular girl in neighborhood and at her work. She like the queen bee. People want be around her.

I chuckles when remember how shy she is when still high school. Well.. people change right? I sip the pink drink in my hand slightly. It's cocktail with strawberry flavor. My eyes silently watch over Jessica who since before talk with a guy on balcony. They look so close. I can see how sometimes the guy touch Jessica gently and how she smile at him as respond. My mind keep asking same thing.

Who is he..?

" I heard you got apartment? " Krystal suddenly appear beside me.

" Yeah, 2 block from my company building, at Dongsandong-gil. " I told her as I finished the drink in my hand on one shot. My eyes still on Jessica.

" Oh, I know that place ~ " Krystal said as her eyes wander to where my eyes land whole this time. " Isn't their cute? " she suddenly ask.

" Who? "

" Sica and her boyfriend of course. " answer her as she nod to the couple on balcony who looks whispering something to each other now.

I swallow my spit hard when heard it. My mind suddenly went blank.
