[Kim Taekwoon's POV]

I looked at her entering the pantry
and said,"hey.." while stirring his coffee."hey.." she replied back shyly. Then it was awkward slience after that.

"So.." both of us said in unison. They laughed awkwardly together. I offer her to talk first. "So.. hows work lately?" she asked. Suddenly I chuckled. She asked why was i laughing.

"Hey, at least the Manager is on leave right now.. cheer up." I said while giving an assuring smile.

She thanked me and praised for having such an attractive smile. I froze and she panicked.

"A-ah...Y y-you know thats not what i meant. Its just a compliment.."she uttered and while pushing her hair to her earlobe.

I chuckled again and said, "its alright. Well,you have an attractive smile. I like it."

She looked confused and asked,"You like my smile?" I nodded while saying,"I like everything about you."

That was the first time i realise how much i really love her.

She was my colleague at work, we have similar taste in music and coffee. I could click with her very well.

We were in a relationship for about 3 years and i thought it was the right time. I decide to propose to her.

I plan a surprise event at her favourite restaurant. Fairy lights check. Music check. Rose petals check. Candles check. Food check. Of course, bouquet of her favourite flowers. White and Purple Orchids. The meaning of orchid describes her, a beautiful lady cuz she is the most beautiful lady i seen inside and outside.

I waited for her, it has been quite awhile.

Then i heard a voice, her voice. "Oppa?" She peek her head.

I smiled brightly and gave the bouquet for her while the classical music was playing. She smile beautifully and said thank you to me. I held both of her hands and looked at those mesmerizing eyes. I pulled her in for a hug. She was confused.

"Taekwoon ah.. whats wrong?" she asked. I looked her and said with my soft voice that it was nothing.

I look at her eyes again and i felt it was right now that i had to do it. I knelt on one knee and asked her that important question.

"Will you marry me, Chaeyoung?"

She smiled but then she tap my shoulder and i was tapped a lot of times. Then i realise it was all my imagination.

The staff tapped me and said,"Sir? The restaurant is closing."

I didnt know what to do, i just left the venue but the staff keep on calling my name and ask to clear it up.

When i got back home, i got a message from her.

"Thank you for everything but i think it's not working anymore. Maybe we aren't fated for each other for this life. Maybe in the next life."

When i read the message, i lost it all. I cried profusely and my anger kept on boiling but i know .. I won't vent my anger on her. She must have a reason but. why. After 3 years.

"It's alright. I hope in our next life,we will always be together with each other."
i told her that.
