The day seems to last forever
As if it read my heart
With passing time, will it fade?
Except for your empty space
Everything is the same
My heart must be broken
Can't seem to accept that I sent you away
All my love is now in vain
I sent you away
But my waiting has just begun
Don't leave my love
I may never see you again
You are still in my heart
-For you its separation, for me its waiting
By Kim Jaejoong
Jared's side of the story
“Cheers!!!!”
Everybody held up and clink the glasses together for a toast.
“Finally….the stress is lifted!” DooJoon says.
“I couldn’t believe that we made it….Now, I could proudly tell
everyone that I was a part of Muju resort…” Brix commented.
“That’s because of our boss here…” Nelson pointed at Jared.
“Our boss is definitely cool! He was able to close such gigantic deal…”
Jared smirks.
“Everyone worked very hard for the past months…without your cooperation, I don’t think we could pull off a project with a very tight work frame…Thank you very much…Since, we don’t have any project as for now, everyone could take a vacation for a few days….” He announced.
“Wow!!!!!” Everyone says in unison.
“We could go on a date..” Brix says to Hayley who’s seating beside him.
“Who would like to go on a date with you?!” Hayley answers.
“Hyung, you should stop pursuing Hayley noona…Let’s go on a vacation together instead.” Charles says.
“Who would like to go on a vacation with you?!” Brix replies in the same tone as Hayley.
“Hayley noona…let’s go on a the ski resort..”
“Sure!”
“What?! Why would you go on the ski resort with Doojoon?!”
“Mehrong…” Charles stick out his tongue and teases Brix.
“I’m just joking earlier…of course, I’d go with you..”
“Aishh…look at these kids…” Nelson commented.
Jared chuckles.
“Alright…the bill is on me.” He says.
They clapped.
“Oppa!” Allyson waved her hand upon seeing him. Jared made his way to the crowd.
Jared joined his mom and sister.
“There you are….the show is about to start..” His mother says.
“I need to finish some documentation before leaving the office.” Jared says as he settles himself on the seat. Not long after, Aidan sit beside him.
“Hyung, did you just arrive?” he asks.
“Yes. Where's Keith?”
“At the backstage...giving moral support to Abby noona...”
Not long after, Keith came and take his seat next to Aidan. The light suddenly dimmed signaling the start of the fashion show. The theme is spring wedding. Each design is exquisite and elegant. However, the wedding dresses being presented at the catwalk reminds him of her.
“Congratulations Abby...”
“Thank you Jared...”
“Abby unnie, your dresses are daebak!” Allyson says with thumbs up.
“Thank you everyone for coming...” the lovely designer says.
“Abby, you did very well...”
“Thanks Aunt..”
“We'll go ahead...”
“I'll treat you all for a meal next time..”
“Yes..next time..”
Jared turns to Keith. The latter nodded. Abby Han is Jared's cousin and she went back to Korea to open her own boutique. The two met a couple of times before in some of family occassions. One day, Keith personally admitted that they started dating. Jared doesn't know the details but he's happy for them. He's confident that Keith is sincere towards her because he changed a lot. He's not a womanizer anymore. They seem so in love and that's all that matters.
Jared sits on the bench facing the Han River. Nothing much changed on the place. Still, the city looks busy from here during the day. He kept coming back to this place alone despite Keith calling him a masochist because he kept going to a place that could remind him of Sandy. But for Jared, coming here is a proof of her existence in his life.
That night in this place was the last time he saw her. He heard from Kian that she left the country with Julian. A day turned into weeks, months, and seasons. He focused on working which was his life before meeting her. Jared tried his best to take care of himself just like how she wanted. He hid his feelings from everyone and tried to live his life like before but he couldn't cheat himself. He never once forgot about her. No, he can't forget her and wouldn't want to forget her as well.
“We just finished the biggest project in our firm...” He said while looking at the water. He speaks as if he's talking to her at the moment.
“Another project completed without you here with me......Sandy, how are you? Is he treating you well? Is he taking care of you? Are you doing fine without me?” He looks at the sky.
At least he knows that they share the same sky. He smiled bitterly.
Preview:
The streets are filled with pretty cherry blossoms. The spring removed the traces of the passed winter. Sandy gazes the sky. It is clear like that day. She lets the fresh air enter her lungs. Then she heard the cries coming from the stroller she's pushing.
“Aigoo....Nicole....don't cry....” She says as she tries to calm the baby.
[AUTHOR'S NOTE]: Aigoo: Same as "Gosh", "Golly" "Oh My"
