Renjun

"Are you sure about this Renjun?" Mark asked.

"I am."

"I mean, you're going to Japan all by yourself. You can't even speak nor read Japanese! How the hell can you survive a day there?" Mark said.

"I have technology." I said showing him my phone.

"Stupid." He mumbled.

"I should go now." I said looking at my watch.

"Goodluck. Bring her back." Mark said giving me a brofist.

"I will." I said smiling.

"Nako is staying with my sister Mina in Tokyo. I can give you her number so you can ask her about Nako." Momo said getting her phone but I stopped her.

"Just give me her address." I said.

Momo smiled. "She's not in Korea."

"I know."

"Y-You're going to Japan?" Momo asked with her eyes widened.

"Why not? I have my savings. I can go next week." I said.

"O-Okay, I'll tell her beforehand." She said writing down her sister's address on a piece of paper.

Our dinner arrived and we continued talking about Nako.

"I was the first person Nako approached after she went to your dorm." I felt embarrassed when Momo said that. I remembered how I hurted her that night.

"She was so heartbroken that all she did for two days was cry and cry and cry." Momo added.

"She didn't even attend school for two months. She must've loved you that much, No doubt." Momo smiled sincerely. "I know everything that happened, Renjun." She added.

"Everything?" I asked.

"From the very first time she laid eyes on you." Momo chuckled. "Really?" I asked. "She loved you more than you can ever think, Renjun. Her eyes sparkled everytime she talks about you, The last time was heartbreaking. All I could see in her eyes were pain and longing." She added.

"Why are you looking for her? Do you still love her, Do you want to apologize and become friends?" Momo asked.

"I still love her." I answered.

"She loved you." Momo said which left me dumbfounded.

"Loved? What do you mean by that?" I asked.

Momo just gave me a smile and changed the topic.
