A girl named Minjoo was sitting on a bench in a park, head's down and crying.

"Why, why, why" she muttered.

Few minutes later, an old lady came and seated down next to her.

"Are you ok?" the old lady asked.

Minjoo looked at the old lady. She didn't say anything and keeps on crying.

"Fight with your boyfriend?"

"She is leaving me." Minjoo said, trying to hold her tears

The old lady laughed.

"You are so rude. You should have comforted me instead of making fun of me." Minjoo said angrily.

The old lady stopped laughing.

"Sorry. Let me ask you, do you love her?"

"Of course, I love her!" Minjoo exclaimed.

"So it's really a her." The old lady muttered.

"We've been together for 2 years. I cook for her every day. I clean her apartment. I do everything for her. I always put her in first place but now she's leaving me for someone else. What did I do wrong?"

The old lady started to laugh again, even harder than before.

Minjoo got so angry. She tried to get up to leave but the old lady holds her right hand.

"Sit down. I am not laughing at you. I am laughing at her."

Minjoo sat down with a confused expression on her face.

"What are you talking about?"

"I can tell, you must love her so much but she should be the one who is crying right now" the old lady said.

Minjoo was still confused.

"Look, she loses someone who loves her so much. And you just lose someone who doesn't love you. She should cry instead of you." The old lady said.

"But"

"I know right now. You are feeling like losing the world and lonely but to someone, you are the world to her. You just haven't met her yet. One day, you will find that someone. Someone that will love you like the way you love her." The old lady explained.

Minjoo stopped on crying and showed a smile on her face.

"That is a good smile" the old lady said, patting Minjoo's arms. "Open your eyes and look around. Maybe, she's already here and you just haven't noticed her."

The old lady stood up and walked away.

Minjoo was still sitting on the bench and cleaning her face.

A while later, a girl approached her, she looked worried.

"Are you alright?" the girl asked.

"I'm fine. What are you doing here?"

The girl paused for a while.

"I'm worried about you. I just feel you may need a shoulder now."

"Thanks but I'm fine now." Minjoo said.

The girl sat down beside her.

"I have something for you. I hope it can cheer you up."

The girl took out a piece of napkin, made it into a flower and handed it to Minjoo.

"Wow, where did you learn that? Thanks" Minjoo said.

The girl didn't answer and just smiled. Minjoo smiled too.

"By the way, may I have your name? I am Minjoo. Kim Minjoo."

"Nice to meet you Minjoo! I am Chaewon. Kim Chaewon." the girl said, looking at her smilingly while offering her hand.
