The event ended without seeing my brother again. He could have gone back to where he is staying. I just wish he passed by our house but he didn't.

"It's getting dark Appa.. I will be heading now."
I called my dad who was reading the news. It's seven in the evening and I have to go back to Seoul soon.
"Are you going back alone?"
"Yeaah.. Risa went back to Seoul right after the event. Her family has moved to Incheon a month ago."
I looked at him and he gave a deep sigh.
"If only Changgu is here.. you wouldn't have to leave by yourself."

I came near him. I saw the lines on his forehead. He must be working so hard at his age.
"Don't worry Appa. Changgu oppa is doing well. You'll see him very soon."
I gave him a peck on his cheek and waved goobye to him as I walked through the alley of the street.

I reached the bus stop when the rain poured. I ran for a shed and waited for the bus to arrive.

It rained cats and dogs. During these days, buses rarely come to this town.
Maybe I can go back early the next day. But we have early training tomorrow.. I can't risk going back that late.

I have to wait.

After a few minutes, a black car passed by the station.
Hush.. The wind is blowing hard. Is there any typhoon coming?

Suddenly, the black car drove backwards and stopped in front of me.

The driver went out and opened the back seat door near me.

I docked to see who's inside.

"Ch-Chen oppa?"
He was there seated at the back seat staring at me.
"Mr. Chen wants you to hop in Miss."
The driver told me so. I hesitated at first but the wind grew stronger and so I don't have any other choice now. I have to get back to Seoul.

I got in and sat beside Chen oppa. Good thing I was not totally soaking wet.

When the engine started, no one spoke between us. The silence bugged me so I started it with saying thanks..

"No problem at all." He replied. Finally, he spoke to me.
"Ahm.. Did you also visit your parents?"
"No.. I visited my sister."
Oh! He went to see her grave.
I don't know how to continue the conversation when I remembered Jina unnie. Chen oppa didn't go back to Seoul with her.

"Did Jina unnie leave already?"
He nodded.
"I see.. By the way, seems like you and Jina unnie are friends again. She becomes more beautiful."
As I said those words, I looked at Chen oppa who is still looking at the floor.
"She is always beautiful. Just like the good all days."
I heard him whispered.

I smiled and thought to myself that I can never surpass a Jina.. Never in my whole life.

We arrived in front of the coffee shop where my mom worked almost nine in the evening.

"Are you sure you don't want to go straight to your house?"Chen oppa asked me before I come down.
" Yes.. I'm sure. My mom's still there and I'll wait for her so we can go home together."
I was supposed to open the door when Chen oppa called me.
" Baechuna.. I'm sorry if I acted strange today."
I turned my face to him. He was really strange that day.. Even when Miyoung unnie gathered all the members of the Glee Club, he seemed so off. It was good to be together after a very long time though Hyunseok oppa has left for military but Chen oppa didn't talk that much.
"It's alright Oppa.. I understand what you felt."
I smiled and he smiled back at me.
"Thank you Baechuna.. You're still like my little sister."

I don't know why but I felt a little pain in my chest as I went down from the car.

As I went inside the shop, I saw my Mom preparing to leave for work.

"So how was it dear?"
"Just fine."
"Aww you don't look happy.. By any chance, did your brother appear?"
I shook my head. I saw the sadness in mom's eyes.
"He'll be fine mom.. Come on! Hurry up! I'm so tired I wanna sleep now."
"Fine fine.. Oh by the way. There was a woman here who was looking for you. I don't know how she knew you worked here before but I told her that you left long time ago."
A woman?
"How does she look like?"
"Mmm.. she's tall.. with long hair but I couldn't clearly see her face cause she's wearing a mask and a pair of glasses. I asked her what she wanted and told me that she has something to ask to you. You were schoolmates in Imja."
Schoolmates in Imja? But we just had a reunion. If she was there, she could have asked me what she wanted to ask.
" Did she leave anything for me to contact her?"
"Oh yeah I told her that you come here every time I leave for work at this time of the day and so she left her mobile number. She said it's private."
Mom gave me a paper that contained the number.
"You can call her the next day. Let's get ready and go home now."

***

Late that night, curiosity hit me so hard. I can't wait for tomorrow to know this woman.
So I got my phone and dialled her number..

It rang three times when a familiar voice answered.

" Hello? "

I know the owner of this voice.
" Hello? Who is this please?"

I didn't respond and hung up.

Why? What does she want to ask me?

She was there... I saw her..

-----------------------------------------------------------

Who do you think is the owner of the voice?

Let's all find out in the next chapter.

Thank you Beauties 💋

Always,
