A few weeks later, I get a grip to get out from all of this and start a new life. I start to find a new job and I got a job in a holding. At the holding, I have a lot of works that I forget about Chen completely. And I wish to. I don't want to think about him anymore. There, I get to know Kyungsoo, an employee there. He is a senior there but still I talk to him informally as we are close. He is also the one who gives me supports. From friends, we become best friends. "Pa, do you want to go and have a dinner with me?" He asks me for almost everyday. As he is my bestie, I can't afford to reject his invitations so I just go out with him. Until one day, everything changes. He asks me to go out for dinner. "Pa, actually I have been liking you since you first came to this company. I love you, Pa. So will you marry me?" He gets on his knees and opens a red velvet box. A ring appears. It looks almost same like the one Chen gave me. Suddenly, I feel tears streaming down my cheeks. I am crying. I suddenly remember about our memories. Why should he go? Why should he go before me? How dare he? "Pa...what happens? Did I do anything wrong?" He is flabbergasted by my sudden action. "No...no.. I am just... Nothing." I try to force a smile but I know it looks totally fake. "Please, tell me, Pa. You can tell me everything. I can lend my shoulder for you to cry..." He looks down. "No, it is okay. Really." I try to force a smile again. A fake smile, definitely. He just smiles again sadly. "Can I just give the answer to your question a few days later? I need to think about it first. Please?" I ask him. "Of course, no problem. Tell me when you are ready. Whatever it is, I can wait." He pats my head. "Now just finish your food and I will take you home." Kyungsoo holds my hand. "Ne~" I start to eat. There is only a complete silence that time, accompanying us.
