Chapter 40:

( Seulrene )

" So about the map... "

" Oh yah, are we continuing our search for your friend ? "

" Yeah. I can pass you a copy of the map because I printed an extra. "

" Lemme see. "

When Seulgi took the map from Irene, she held her heart, letting go of the map . Irene knew she was in pain but confused as Seulgi had already saw the original map before but she didn't have the same reaction as now. She open a packet of cookies for Seulgi but decided to give her the medicine first. She then fed her the cookie but Seulgi refused, instead she pointed to the jar of water.

" Are you feeling better ? "

" Yeah... Where did you get the map ? "

" Under a bench, why ? Have you seen it before ? "

" I'm fine. Okay, is it okay if you meet me at my house playground, I need to see the map from that benches point of view. "

" Oh that's a good idea, let's meet at 5 then ? "

" Okay, then I will be heading home first. "

" See you bear ! "

Seulgi walked home with a seemingly different expression of what she would always feel, anger, disappointment and happiness filled her. But her negative emotions got the better of her.

5 o'clock that evening

" I hope you didn't wait for too long. "

" Actually I just arrived bunny. "

" Shall I walk you there ? "

" Sure. "

As they walked, Irene had this urge to hold the latter's hand. She guided Seulgi to the bench and sat down.

" So, can you help me ? "

Seulgi didn't say a word, she dragged Irene to her house and sat her down on her dining table. Irene was shocked and was at a lost for words as she didn't know what Seulgi was doing or thinking.

" No. I won't help you. "

" Why Seulgi ? Whats going on ? "

" You made me suffer for so long, wondering where you went, you didn't even bother to tell me you were leaving face to face, I worry day and night after that day, but you never came. You are a liar, you used me, you wanted me to pity you, and now, you're here, all successful while I leave a shitty life, trying to find you in all parts of korea because of your stupid note. "

" Seulgi, it...it was you, no wonder I had this strange feeling around you, it's like butterflies in my stomach."

" Don't change the subject. From today onwards, let's not meet. "

" No, I came back, I'm here now Seulgi, don't do this to me, please... "

" You think I'm the bad guy ? You made me wait hopelessly only so that you can show up a million years later. "

" Seulgi, please, hear me out. "

" No, I want you to leave."

" Then why bother bringing me here in the first place if you wanted me to leave ? "

" To waste your time, to calm down, to think about the things I wanted to tell you after so long, but I couldn't think of any, I was too mad at you. "

" Seulgi, please, I've been waiting ro explain it you. "

" Leave. "

Seulgi was walking to her room as she wanted the older one to leave on her own. But a hand pulled her and slammed her body against the wall.

" Does it look like you've been the only one finding ? "

" Well, did it take you that long ? "

Irene shakes her head.

" Just leave. "

Irene again shakes her head.

" What ? I need to go back to work so let go of me, show yourself out. "

" No, not until you answer my question. "

" I don't have time for your games. "

" Just answer my question. "

" What is it ? "

" Do you still love me ? "
