I'm Breaking

Chapter 46

Author PoV

Hand in hand, they walked together. Full with smiles, and joy. Like the past didn't even bother them. 

She was so happy, he was so happy. 

But not everyone is happy. 

In one of the biggest houses in Busan, Jungkook sits on the bench in his grandmother's garden. The sun started to set and he told his driver to go back to Seoul. 

He decided to stay away from Seoul for a while. 

His cellphone was turned off, no one can reach him. What he did to let everybody know that he's fine, was telling his driver to tell Il-Do he's in Busan. 

That's the only news he wants to say. 

Jungkook sat there and thought for a while. What is it he needs to do? What does he have to do? All he knew was, both of them were going on the right path. Where both of them would lead to happy endings. 

So where did it go wrong? Where in the plans he made to be with her go wrong? 

A woman in the age of 80s sat beside Jungkook, and another woman, wearing a white and blue uniform pushed a trolly then quickly left the 2 behind. 

"Want some tea, grandson?" his grandmother asked. 

He simply shook his head. 

"I heard you became the new President of our company. You're going to do well, my boy! For sure if your grandfather were still alive, he would be really, really proud. Both for you and Il-Do," she happily said but none seem to make him smile. 

As she was very close to her grandchildren, she was obviously worried. 

When Jungkook was young, his father wanted him to read, read, and read. Learn, learn and learn. But he also had free time because Il-Do would beg their father so Jungkook can go and play. 

During the summer, Jungkook, Seunghan and Il-Do would stay in Busan and play in the beach, go to the market with their grandmother and many more. In the afternoon, Jungkook and Il-Do would be taught English and Math lessons while Seunghan would having his treatment. 

Maybe he's forgotten of the good days, and only remembers the time where he would be told to study and read books. In fact, there were so many happy memories he might've forgotten. 

She looked at him, with worried eyes, "Now that you're president, you've come to visit. It's been 2 years since you visited me here. After your grandfather died, this big mansion became 3 times bigger and quieter."

"Mianhae, halmeoni," was all he could say. 

"I don't want to talk about family problems, that's stressing me out," she laughed by herself. "What I want to talk about, is why my youngest grandson is here in Busan when he should be taking care of the family business in Seoul?"

He couldn't answer.

That's right.

It was immature of him to just runaway all of a sudden. 

But then he needed it. 

It's already too much to handle. 

"I guess...it's because there's a lot in my head, lately," he replied.

She patted his back, "Go on, halmeoni is going to listen."

He turned to her direction, "Remember Yuri, halmeoni?"

She nodded. 

"There's this girl who's just like her, except that she's better. She's a neurosurgeon, by the way. And she's really pretty, smart and outgoing. She also has a 5 year old daughter, her friends are also my friends in school or under the company's help. Except that..." he stopped. "Except that..she doesn't want to be with me."
