My truth.

"Talk about what?" He asked and yawned wearily, softly rubbing his eyes. "Can't it wait for tomorrow?" Jaehyun was so tired that Areum's voice felt distant to his ears, he didn't even notice how hard it was for her to speak.

"It..." Areum tried to keep her voice steady. "It can't..." She announced and a sob escaped from her lips, reaching Jaehyun's ears.

The man's eyes widened and he immediately went to hug the woman but she pushed him lightly away.

"Areum, what's wrong? You're scaring me."

Her slightly trembling hands were landed on his chest, allowing a small distance to separate both of them. "Please..." She said quietly. "It is already hard enough."

Jaehyun stepped back, giving her some space. "Areum..." His voice was weak, worried about what had upset his wife.

"Let me tell you something Jaehyun..." She said. "Because I think that if I don't admit it, I will lose you forever. Or maybe..." She chuckled bitterly. "You'll leave me when you learn about it but you deserve to know the truth... "

"What is it about?" He asked. "Lose me forever? Baby no matter what happens I will always be next to you."

"Not after hearing what I have to say Jaehyun." Her lips trembled and a tear escaped from her eyes. "Don't make promises you won't be able to keep."

"What is it about?"

"It's about..." She took a small pause, to catch her breath before continuing.

"Eunhee..."

                     "Wow...look at him!"

"Man...he sure has a bright future in front of him..."

     "Aghh...he is so handsome!"

"Areum..." Her friend called out her name. "Ermm...Areum?" She waved her hand in front of the girl's eyes in hopes that she would snap out of what she was thinking. "Areum!"

"Yes?!" She shook her head lightly left and right and tried to collect her thoughts. The truth was that something else was occupying her mind lately, worrying her more and more. "What is it Soojin you scared me...!"

Her friend only rolled her eyes. "Are you kidding me? I was calling you out for at least a minute."

"R...really?"

Soojin nodded.

"Aghh..." Areum hid her face with her hands. Both of them were sitting on the stands of the school yard, as the bell had rung earlier for them to go outside for a break.
