Memoirs of a Young Love (Completed)

Acknowledgement (and a Surprise)

Before everything else, I would like to thank everyone who read, voted and left comments in this story. I never thought that it would be this loved, and my heart is truly grateful.

Somehow, to let go is painful, but I know that every good story mustbcome to an end. Memoirs of a Young Love, or MYL as I fondly name it, is no exception.

I have to thank a few people who were a part of why MYL came to be.

JoenaMaeTantiado for the prompt just one afternoon while we were chatting away. You started this all, girl! ❤❤❤❤

attyRJGM of course for the iconic lines and somehow building Yejin's character in this story 🤭🤭🤭🤭 not to mention the setting which reminded us of a lot of things 😅😅😅

papermagic shin_92 Jameehra yumiaeyo_ and everybody else whom I may not have really known here in Watty but know in Tele, thank you for reading, commenting and everything in between. Bawal ngawa! 😂😂😂😂 please tag them if you know 🙏🙏🙏

xojungkim aaa9277 for the newfound friendship ❤❤❤❤

Yourbae856 for the wonderful cover ❤❤❤

Letting go of MYL is kind of hard for me, since I had to start building their characters from scratch, rubbing in some of my real friends' attitudes and mine as well and revisiting a place where many of the best memories have been kept.

Some characters' names if you notice are the character names of the few people our favorite OTP have worked or got involved with. Go Google. 🤭🤭🤭

MYL will always be my baby. 😄😄😄😄

So, as a final, final chapter, let me drop in one part that did not make into the story. This was supposed to be the 2nd chapter but, I figured it was too early to have them, you know, get hurt and everything. 🤗🤗🤗🤗

So here goes, and thank you from the deepest part of my heart for loving MYL.

Special Chapter - Rumors

From hindsight, I could tell that he was trying to make his mark on me. Well, at least that is what the adult Yejin would tell my eighteen year old self. But no, I took it nonchalantly.

'Can I walk you home from hereon?' he asked me as we were strolling around the campus after classes.

I thought it would be a good idea because eventhough I have been walking alone for the past four years, I wanted to have someone who will walk with me. For safety purposes, at least. And I figured he can give that to me. Since that day, he has been walking me home every afternoon. It didn't seem to be a problem. Not until one of his fans came up to me and spread nasty rumors about us.

'Hey, Son Yejin! So do you enjoy your walk every afternoon with Bin? Do you really walk home or do you stop by somewhere only the two of you know?' Eun Suh, a co-senior said, with everyone in my class stopped in their tracks and listen to everything she was saying.

I was dumbfounded, I did not expect for this to happen. Had I known that I would be facing this kind of humiliation, I would not have accepted Bin's proposal to walk me home.

How can a simple walk home go wrong?

My classmates eyes were on me, silently accusing me of something. How I wished the girls were here to help me out, but they were outside. The girls actually drifted away from me, for the reason that yes, Bin was almost always there with me all the time.

'So what, Yejin? Is it really true? How can you not say something?' she continued taunting me. I didn't know how to respond to it. I was glued to my seat, unable to do something. My tears were threatening to fall from my eyes, until I heard gasps from the people around me.

'Eun Suh!' A low, baritone voice came ringing into my ears. I could not dare looking up to that voice. i knew it was him.

'What did you say?' he said. I wasn't able to look at him because, tears were already looming to fall. I figured Eun Suh wasn't able to say anything as there was silence that enveloped the otherwise noisy room.

Just then I felt a warm hand gripping around my wrist and was tugging me. I followed suit, I wanted to get away from the room the soonest possible time. I did not care about anyone anymore, I just wanted to stay away.

I only followed where he would lead me, and we found ourselves sitting by the orchard. He took out his handkerchief and handed it to me. 'Wipe your eyes please, Yej.'

I took the handkerchief he gave me and used it to wipe my face. He then gave me a bottle of water and I drank it too. When I felt better, he asked me to look at him. I met his eyes, a pair of brown orbs staring into mine.

'I'm sorry about that,' he said. 'I didn't expect for this to happen.'

I looked at him and I must admit I was immersed into him. Him saying sorry for something he didn't do. All he did was walk me home and then this accusation came. I smiled at him, and in an attempt to stop from falling deeper into something I don't understand, I looked away from him.

'Maybe I'm just so lucky you came at the right time.'

We both smiled as he heard me say it.

This is gonna be something to look forward to.
