Epilogue

~*~*~*~

It's my first day at my new work.

One year passed, and my habits about him stopped. I don't know how, but it just happened. But, there's still one habit of mine that didn't stopped — even though it's not a habit anymore — and that is loving him.

Despite of that one year, I still love him. Nothing change. After that phone call one year ago, we've lost contact at each other.

I'm working at a cafe. Funny how the name of the cafe was Love, the thing that I wanted from the very start.

I heard the bell rung, indicating that there's a customer. I put on my best smile, but my world stopped the moment I saw who is the customer.

He smiled at me, as if nothing happened between us. It is like the smile that he showed me the first time we met.

I smiled back, even though if it's fake, and listened at his order. I nodded and he paid for the drink. When I'm going to turn back to announce his order at the workers in the kitchen, he hold my arm to stopped me.

I looked at his hand that's on my arm and at him.

He smiled again, but unlike his smile awhile ago which is bright, his smile this time is sad. "Can I also have a... little time of yours... please?"

'You have my whole time you idiot.'

I nodded and smiled. He let go of my arm and went to a booth at far end corner of the cafe.

When his coffee is already done, I brought it to his table and sat in front of him.

There's an awkward silence until he decided to break it, "So... how are you?"

I smiled weakly, "I'm... fine... I guess?"

He chuckled softly at my answer, "I'll take that as a yes. So..." He trailed off, "do you... already have... someone?"

His voice broke at the end which didn't go unnoticed by me.

I immediately shook my head, "N-no, I don't have..."

I saw his small smile before he spoke again, "Good, 'cause I don't have a girlfriend either."

I'm starting to get comfortable at our conversation so I laughed softly, "And what do you mean by that?"

"That we're both single. And that we still have a chance."

My smile eventually dropped hearing his statement.

I don't know, though. I mean, yes, I still love him. But, I don't know if I can hold on tight if it happened again.

I woke up from my trance when I felt his hand on my hand.

"L-look, Mikyung, I know I am so stupid back then. I am a jerk for leaving someone like you. But believe me, I love you, I will always do."

I started crying.

"I'm sorry because I broke you— us. Believe me or not, but you became my world."

I looked up to him and saw him crying, too.

"I'm sorry because I didn't expressed it to you back then."

He sat by my side and hugged me.

"But, please, believe me, I want you to be okay. That I want you to feel loved."

He cupped my face as he kissed the tears away from my face.

"I love you Park Mikyung, and I will always do."

Maybe, I didn't regret making him included at one of my beautiful moments.
