Bumpy rides, shiny seats, too many stickers, hanging decorations, trash bin, what else could I describe this vehicle? But hey, in this vehicle, there's a lot of people tells a story just seeing their movements and eyes. Different people, who ride in this vehicle, right now this vehicle it's already full, how I wish the driver won't stop driving. Right now I am being centered like a hotdog in a sandwich; funny but that's my situation now. Oh, how rude, I haven't introduced myself to you, I'm Park Hyun Jae, 20 years old and still a college student. Have already shared some of the stories here in this vehicle or rather a jeepney? Well, of course, I met some of my true friends and my former boyfriend and soon to be, just kiddin', what can I expect? I already met my first love here
"Can you please give my fare" a soft voice came out as she was giving her fare to me, I was too stunned when I saw her, she has this long, brown hair, fair complex, and I must say, she's tall, I gave her the change from the driver, she smiled at me with her eyes, "thank you" I was watching her, watching her as she put her change into her purse, a violet purse. Then she looked outside, I wonder why her eyes tell me that she's in a great pain, as I watched her, a tear forming on her eyes, she's indeed is suffering from a great pain.
That was Park Rae Seon, I followed her in the park where she burst out crying. She was too weak to handle the pain she's handling at that time. Although it's about love, what can I say? She really love the guy named Choi Seunghyun, well actually they got back together with each other's arm, the reason why they broke up? Arranged marriage, her parents already arranged a meeting to her supposed to be fiancé, who was it? Well, it's only the heir of the Lee's Jewelry Co., Lee Min Ho. It's weird that Rae came from a wealthy family too, she is the daughter of the CEO of Park's production company, and how can I be a friend of such a rich girl? I cannot believe myself; I made a friend who we're rich, no, one of the richest families.
"I-I'm sorry to caused you trouble," she said between her sobs, I smiled at her "No, it's okay, I actually want you to accompany, because I know you're suffering in a great pain," I said, her face was shocked, "H-how..." I chuckled, "you were easy to read," I said to her, "I'm Park Hyun Jae" I introduced myself to her and she accepts my hand "Park Rae Seon."
She actually runs away from the engagement party prepared by their parents, but with such a casual dress? How can she possibly run away? Actually, she ran away the day before the party. I can't blame her, she is what she is, I don't have the right to scold her because I was an acquaintance at that time.
We actually contacting each other, exchanging SMS to each other, sometimes we meet in the park where we really meet. It's nice to have her; I wish her happiness and the best for her life. Well if you really love someone, you have to fight for it or you have to let go, in her case, she has to fight for it, actually, they go against their parents just to be with each other's arms again. And to me? Can you guess it? I need to let go of him.
I was on the line waiting for the jeepney to come; I was standing for how many hours? 2? 3? How can I stand it? Patience. After 30 minutes, here comes the most awaited vehicle for us to go everywhere, there were only 2 people before I can get in at the jeepney, but to my luck, I guy was forcibly bumped me and came in front of me, I dusted myself and tap him "Excuse me, I waited for how many hours just to get in there, if you ex—" I cannot continue on what I am saying, his glares gives me chills, it's not an ordinary glare, he's giving me the death glare.
'I will get my revenge on you!' I thought I'd already sitting half, and the way is so bumpy that will make me fall from this seat. Unfortunately, someone wants to get off, and the driver suddenly brakes, I almost fall, but someone holds me, to my surprise, It is him who prevents me to fall. It was a long ride for me, people rides and get off the jeepney, and it's my end, he is now beside me, I was looking at the other side of the vehicle when I hears him say "Sorry" I was stunned, I never expected to a man apologizing to a woman, well after all he's being nice, "No it's okay, I think you were in rush that's why you cut in" I said calmly to him "Thanks but I'm actually late now" as he looked at his wristwatch.
Actually, it was the wedding day of his lover, I comforted him, I was being moved by his acts, he actually wants to stop the wedding, but he couldn't the girl that he loves playing his heart, I actually told him that it's no use for crashing the girl's wedding because he will look desperate if he will do it, which he admits that he is really desperate. He loves her as much as he loves himself, what can I say? Blinded by love. I actually admire him but saying it, but I told him too that, there's a lot of girls, who deserves his love; I told him too that he won't be wasting his love to a married woman. It took me 6 months to capture his heart and it took him 2 months to take my heart, after that we started dating, we're always seeing each other after, he's older than me by 3 years, but age doesn't matter right? Our relation lasted for 3 years actually.
We're riding the jeepney on our way home, he's taking me home. We were silent, not talking to each other actually, the day has come, I was afraid that this day will come, but I need to face it. Then he started to talk "How's school?" he asked me, his voice is kind of hesitant "It's fine" I said so shortly, I saw him nods, "Do you remember the girl that I loved so much?" he ask, my heart beats so fast, so fast that I can't breathe properly, I swallowed a lump, "Yes I remember her, Kim Yun, ri-right?" my voice trailed off, he looked at me, my eyes widens and looked away, I known what he say to me, I love him actually, but what can I do? He continued "they already getting divorced," he said to me, "and she wants me back" but then I remember that she just played his heart how can she possibly say that to him? I actually don't what to say to him, I really don't want to ask it because I know it will be stab on my heart, "w-what did you say?" hesitantly asked him, he facepalm, then brush his hair, he was frustrated "I love you Jae, I really do... but I think... I still love her" he sigh "I-I'm so—"but before he can finish saying sorry to me I wipe my tears, I looked at him I kissed him, it's a heartbreaking scene for me, that I'm actually kissing him while I'm crying. I cupped his face, his eyes tell me that he is really sorry to me and he really loved me "I know, its fine... I'll be okay, don't worry Jin ki, I'll be okay. I love you, remember that, but, it's for your own good, I have to let you go..." I kissed him again, the last kissed we shared, he holds my hand so tight, as the jeepney stops "Don't go after me, please..." I beg him before I got off but then he grabbed my hand but I protested, "jae..." as it fades.
I told you, it's another story for me, I let him go even though it hurts so much, but actually, I'm all good right now, we actually seeing each other, but it doesn't matter at me now, as long as he is happy, I will be happy too.
Oh here is my stop, I should be going no—"Ow..." who he—"I-I'm sorry..." a boy? He got brown eyes like mine, his blonde-black hair "M-miss? Are you okay?" his voice is so gentle. "Oh... ye-yes... sorry, I was about to get off but sure you may ride first" I said to him "No... you first" I smiled at him, he gave way for to got off the jeepney, I smiled at him "Thank you –" he smiled back at me "Ji Yong, My name is Kwon Ji Yong, you?" he asked "Hyun Jae, Park Hyun Jae"
