CHAPTER XVIII: SUNSETS
“How’re you doing Jeongyeon?” Jessica smiles sitting on her desk. “Goodmorning.”
It's the typical monday morning on their architectural firm. Jeongyeon smiles and nodded and started to design their new strip mall project. “I’m good.”
“Thank god, you’re finally okey,” Jessica says putting her bag on her chair as she sat.
Jeongyeon chuckled, “I need to be.”
Jessica stops to observe at her then smiles, “I’m glad.”
Jeongyeon smiled and looked away—of course, she’s ‘okey’ but not happy. People who don’t experience it will never realize that the pain will only subside but never gone.
The thing about a broken heart is it is unforgettable. No matter how many months passed, the pain lingers. When you think you have moved on, there will always be a relapse; nights when you would just cry and nights when you would curl up in your bed and just wish that when you wake up it will go back to the day when she’s still yours.
and these things are the ones, Jeongyeon experiences. 3 months have gone yet somehow she always thinks about her—her regrets and the painful memory when she saw Nayeon choosing over a new love. Somehow today is better. She can move forward. She didn't hear anything about Nayeon now, her friends tried hard not to talk about taboo topic-- though sometimes, Jeongyeon finds herself wanting to ask them.
"how's Nayeon?" yet she is swallowed by the thought that she knows she is. Momo is there to make her happy. Sometimes she finds herself typing to text her, to ask Nayeon-- yet they would all go down to her draft box, texts that were never sent.
The whole day passed by fast—Jeongyeon has always kept herself busy; either working or talking again with her old friends. After work, her plan is to meet up with her cousin who came to visit the town. The working hours passed by quickly.
“Unnie~” The youngster came as she pulled Jeongyeon into an embrace. Jeongyeon stopped looking at the younger cousin who looks bigger than before.
“Yujin? You’ve grown so tall,” Jeongyeon smiled looking at her cousin from head to toe.
“Of course, My goal is to grow taller than Tzuyu-unnie,” Yujin grins.
“Don’t bet on it,” Jeongyeon says, “your long-time crush is already seeing someone else.”
Yujin stuck her tounge out, “I don’t care, I still like her.”
Ahn Yujin was a 10 when Jeongyeon and Nayeon was 16 and dating. That time, Yujin spent her summer vacation on their town, getting to know Tzuyu in which she instantly had a crush on.
“aigoo, you’re still a child, you don’t know what you’re talking about.” Jeongyeon roll her eyes, “at that age you would be falling in love—with different people.”
“but--- you’re still in love with Nayeon-unnie,” Yujin says, “you’ve been an adult yet you’re still in love with your first love.”
“Ya!” Jeongyeon playfully head-butted Yujin, “mind your own business kid!”
Both of them decided to eat at a cafe near by. Jeongyeon treat her some vanilla frappe as they both talked.
"Thanks unnie," Yujin grins, "next time I'll treat you too."
Jeongyeon sighs, "As if you will."
"I will," Yujin grins, "just bring Tzuyu-unnie with you."
