Christmas Day

Part 1 of 2 (Short Story)

"Where are you going?" , Charlotte asked. "The day has come, i will meet him." I said.

"You still believed that he will keep what he promised to you? That was 8 years ago and you were only 12 that days. " Charlotte said. "Of course! It was a promised. And what a promise is a promise." I said.

"Nevermind. I will wait for you at the hotel." Charlotte said. "Okay, bye!" I hugged her.

Im Park Minhyun or Marie Park. 20 years old. Half American-Korean. I worked as a Assistant Manager in Kim Group of Companies here in New York. The day has come. It was December 25. I will meet my childhood bestfriend. I dont know if he will come or if he still kept that promise. But i will try. If he didn't come, its okay. Life goes on.. Maybe he is already happy with his life in this present day.

Charlotte Linson is my bestfriend. I met her 4 years ago when i started studying college here in New York. I've told her my story and she kept on saying that that man will not gonna show up. How rude right? Nah, just kidding. Well believing is not bad right? She is also working on the company where i work.

I wore my gloves ,my jacket and started walking outside. I call a cab. Then when i reached the train station, i started to buy train tickets. It was a 1 hour and 30 minutes trip all the way to my destination and the place that we will meet.

I've waited for the train and started to find my seat. " Okay, Seat a16. Where are you?" I murmured and found it at last. I was going to sit already when a man hold my shoulders and grab me. "That was my seat." The man said.

"Why are you here? Are you stalking me?" I angrily said. " Wait, so when im on the same train with you i was already stalking you huh?" He said. I was stuck and there is nothing left to say. "This is my seat by the way. Can't you see? It was written on my ticket." I mocked him.

"Okay. Sorry. My seat is A17. I was mistaken." He said while laughing. "No!! Dont seat here! I dont want to sit beside a creepy monster like you!" I angrily said. "I dont want too. Creepy doll." He mocked.

"Aish, nevermind!" I murmured. We sit already and he was smiling at me. He was Harold Sins. An annoying officemate. Everyday was a bad day when he started teasing me. I was never had a chance to ask about him because we never talked instead of teasing me.

"Where are you going btw? Its christmas day." I asked. "Where are you going too?'' He smiled. I glared at him and started to put my earphones to remove my bad mood. Argh. This man is giving me a heart attack.

[FLASHBACK]

8 years ago

"Minhyun-ah, why are you crying?" Jiyong asked. I hugged him instead. He was shocked. "Im going to leave you Jiyong, im so sorry." I said while crying.

"Wae? Where are you going?" He asked worriedly. "Eomma said that i have to go to New York to study there." I sobbed. "Do you really have to go? You were only my best friend since we were 6. Aren't you happy with me?" He asked while in the merge of crying.

"Of course not. I just have to Jiyong. Im really sorry." I burst my tears. "Ssshh. Stop crying." He said and started to cupped my face. " December 25. Christmas Day. 8 years from now. At the Last Train station in New York. I will wait for you there. Promise me you'll come." He said while waiting for my reply.

I was surprised and a little bit confused. "Are you serious?" I asked. "I am." He stated. "Okay i promise. I happily said. "Okay then, pinky promise?" He pouted.

[END OF FLASHBACK]

Lee Jiyong. He was a fat little chubby boy. He wore nerdy glasses but he's the one who always saves me from school bullies. Jiyong was one of a kind. He's mature than other boys. Since now, i still dont have any news from him. But the only thing that i have is our promise.

A childhood promise that im unsure if it was going to happen. We were only 12 that day. I was worried if Jiyong still remember what he promised to me. Is he going to appear?

I dont know he's number nor he's clothes. Or even if he lose weight already. Well like i said, there is nothing wrong in believing.

I came back to reality and saw this annoying man beside me staring at me.
