The Long Wait

The Runaway

Jimin has been discharged from the hospital for a week but, still Jeongyeon did not show herself to him. She would just bring food for him and give it to one of his siblings as a thank you gift. She has no plan on facing him. She still works in the company because her resignation papers are still with her.

Jimin being disappointed not seeing Jeongyeon, spends time more often with his daughter. He would always bring her to parks or malls.

---Jimin---

Cassandra and I just went to the mall and we are about to go back. We are stuck in traffic, as always. Aisshh.

While I was concentrating on the road, Cassandra roamed her eyes outside the car.

Cass: Appa! Look there is a cemetery!

Huh? Cemetery of all places why would she notice that place?

Jimin: O, what's with the cemetery?

Cass: You told me that my real Eomma is already dead but, not even once we visited her grave. You don't even have her picture...
disappointment is heard in her voice.

I swallowed my saliva. I felt sweat on my forehead and on my palm.

I told her before that her eomma is dead that is why she is not around. I feel guilty lying to her

Jimin: I am sorry Cassandra maybe next time okay? I am just busy...

Cass: Appa you told me that for the nth time...

Jimin: I am really sorry...

Cass: Arasseo....

I really can't bring her to the cemetery because I can't just point on a random grave and tell her that, that is her deceased mother. Multuhin pa ako, ayoko nga!

My guilt is slowly increasing, it is eating me up. Argh! Eottoke!

---Jeongyeon---

I am reading the third book of Harry Potter and my sisters kept on nagging me. They are very annoying.

Momo: Yah unnie! When will you face Jimin oppa!

Chae: Unnie, we have been lying for you and we are becoming guilty!

Momo: He would call and then we would tell him that you are sleeping, busy or in the bathroom when the truth is you are not.

Nayeon: Yah! You are making us liars!

I rolled my eyes. I put down my eyeglasses and put down the book.

Jeong: How many times should I tell you that I am not yet ready!?

Chae: How many times should we lie?

Jeongyeon was taken aback.

Jeong: Come on it is just a white lie.

Nayeon: White, Black, Red, Green or Blue lie, o ano pa mang kulay yan! It is still a lie!

Jeong: Unnie, c'mon...

Jihyo: Unnie, Momo, Chae, let's just let Jeongyeon unnie decide...

They just rolled their eyes and continued watching the movie.

I just returned to reading the book.

If time turners are real in this world like what Hermione has, maybe I can correct all my mistakes....

---Jimin---

I am sipping a glass of wine by the pool.

I am thinking about Cassandra. Is it time for me to tell her the truth?
