And Then I Met You

6: Better

He had been tailing Joy ever since they woke up and can't even ask her anything since that's what she told him to do. After almost 10 minutes of walking, they finally stops by the beach.

" Tadaaaa !!! "

" You could have just tell me that we're going to
the beach. "

" But there's no excitement if I plainly tell you
that. "

" Indeed Joy is different. So what are we gonna
do now ? "

" You just wait here while I get you some
ice cream. "

And so he wait, until she comes back with two soft ice cream on each of her hands.

" For you. "

" Thanks. So I assume that you always
come here. "

" Yup. With my cousins but today I'm with you.
You see there's not many people around here.
So I suggest you to shout out all of your burden
to the sea. "

He let out a chuckle, " What nonsense ? "

" Come on. You told me that you face only part of your problem. If you cannot face the other part, at least let it out. All of your anger or anything. The sea can take it you know. They won't tell. "

" Have you seriously done this before ? "

" Yup and it works. And you will able to think what you gonna do next. "

He took a while to look at her face. She just keep on smiling as if there's nothing wrong in her words. Smile as if giving him some assurance to try this ridiculous thing. 

" I've got nothing to lose right if I try it out. "

" If you want, I can just leave you here for a
while. "

She was about to stand up when he forbid her to do so by swiftly holding onto her wrist.

" Stay. I'll feel much better with you here. "

She nodded, letting him gather out all of his emotions.

I can do this. Let's be strong again Sungjae.

He close his eyes for a second before breath out all of his burden.

" AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH !!! "

He did it. At last he did it. He screams all his emotions out, hoping that eventually he will feel better, hoping that he will have the courage to face his reality back at home.

" You did great ! " She patted his shoulder as if
he is some kid.

" These crazy things that you thought me somehow works on me. What are you ? Are you some kind of my guardian or something ? "

" Naahh, I'm just a concern and pretty friend of yours. "

" And clumsy. "

" Shut up. "

" And dream of me of dating your sister. "

" Can you stop ? I'm frustrated enough that it didn't work as I planned. "

" Told you the other option but you just don't
want to. "

" Hey, I'm going to get married to Daniel and that's final. "

" Yeah, yeah. One man woman. "

" Hey, you wanna know what's more fun than just screaming your problem here ? "
