I like that girl, Kim Ji Hye. I liked her since we were kids. She’s my childhood friend. We used to play together – me, Ji Hye and Jun Ha. We did so many things. I remember, we made a time capsule; wrote things we want to do in the future and we put the paper inside a box (which was the time capsule) then buried it right under a tree near our houses.
What now?
I have to see Ji Hye’s happy face with another guy. The most painful thing is… he’s Jun Ha, my best friend. He started dating with her 3 months ago. It was like being shot right on your chest, it’s really hurt – so painful.
Can you imagine that? Your best friend is having a date with the girl you liked since about… 7 years?
Tomorrow is Jun Ha’s birthday. So today, I accompany Ji Hye to buy a gift for her boyfriend. I should fake a smile while my heart is aching.
“Tae Min-ah! Is this looked good for him?” said Ji Hye as she shows me a white shirt. Ah~ white is my favorite colour.
“Uhm?”
“Yaaa~ why are you so quiet today? It’s not like you. Are you sick? Tae Min is a cheerful boy! Heyy~ wake up!” Ji Hye tries to cheer me up, she pinches my cheek. I smile as I ruffle her long hair.
“Ah! This looks good and fit him well!” I said. I hold a black-checkered shirt, Jun Ha loves black anyway.
Ji Hye looks at the shirt for a while. “Tae Min-ah! You’re such a great friend! Kajja!” She jumps as she walks to the cashier. She looks very excited. I feel happy for her too, but I can’t lie to my heart that I’m jealous.
We walk out from the store. She holds my hand as we try to catch the bus. I feel so peaceful, I stand and wondering for a while. Wonder if she was mine. And suddenly her voice ruined my imagination.
“TAE MIN-AH! Hurry! The bus is leaving!!” She’s on the bus! And the bus is starting to move, faster and faster. I run as fast as I can, but at last, I missed the bus.
----------------
“You got a mail!” My phone rings.
Ah, it’s a message from Ji Hye.
Tae Min-ah! Thanks for accompanying me yesterday! Jun Ha looked very happy when he received the gift! Gomawo! You’re the best! Saranghae! (you’re the 2nd person I love the most after Jun Ha) ^o^
I throw my phone to my bed.
Ji Hye… How could you do this to me? Why did you say “I love you” when you already have someone by your side? Tears are flowing on my face.
I flash back.
It was my fault. Why I didn’t say that earlier? That I love her so much, even since we’re young. I regret, but it’s too late.
-------------------
It’s getting dark. I look at my phone. 9 p.m. And I’m walking alone, without any direction. I’m in a big mess, pathetic. I bet Ji Hye’s now with Jun Ha. Ah. I’d like to see her smile, I’ll be happy then.
Suddenly, I hear a noise. It’s getting closer and closer. I see 5 men in front of me, I don’t know what happened. I feel like trapped. I run but then I feel something hit my head and everything became so blurry. I lost my consciousness.
--------------------
“TAE MIN! HELP!” I hear Ji Hye’s voice.
What had happened with her? Is there something bad happened to her? Oh God, please protect her. I feel like paralyzed right now. I couldn’t move my body. Not even an inch.
“JI… J-JI HYEE!!” I shouted.
I suddenly awaken from the nightmare. It was only a dream. I thank God. But I look around and I feel strange. Everything’s white. What a peaceful place. But I realize soon that I’m in the hospital’s room. I see my body is lying on the bed. Wait… I SEE MYSELF LYING ON THE BED?!
I’m so frustrated. Am I dead already?!
Jihye’s POV
I’m so scared. I waited here for about a week and he’s still unconscious. Tae Min-ah. Don’t make me feel like this. I don’t want to lose you, please wake up.
Tae Min had being operated last week. Those men hit him that night. I don’t know what had happened. Why those guys injured him? Who are they actually? Lucky, me and Jun Ha found Tae Min right after that incident.
I walk to the room where Tae Min rests. I see him from a distance.
“Tae Min… get well soon.” I whispered to him. “It’s been a week…”
Jun Ha, that stupid boy, why he doesn’t come? His friend is in the hospital and he doesn’t even visit him?! I’m going to poke his head later.
I broke up with Jun Ha 2 days ago. I felt uncomfortable while dating with him. Fortunately he understood, but he seemed disappointed. Ah. I feel like… only Tae Min who can understand me well. But now, what can I do? I pray to God to save him. Don’t let him die; I haven’t said that I love him. Does he feel the same way as I am?
Taemin’s POV
“Hey! Hey! Ji Hye! I’m here! Can you see me? Heyyy!” I’m trying to get Ji Hye’s attention. She stands only about 2 meter in front of me. But she can’t hear me, I’m invisible. Ah! God, please bring me back to my body.
I want to hug her as she starts to cry, but I know I can’t. She looks pale. Had she taken her breakfast? Is she sick?
“JUN HA! WHERE ARE YOU?!” I shouted, I went out the room. I try to look for Jun Ha, but I couldn’t find him anywhere.
“Where’s that pabo guy? He made Ji Hye cried. GAHHH~!”
I feel stressed. I’m so mad at Jun Ha. I go back to the room; I see Ji Hye’s holding my hands. I hear she whispered to me.
“Don’t leave me… Tae Min-ah. Please don’t go. You can’t leave me like this.”
“Hey, silly. I don’t want to leave you too. AH! Please send me back to my body!!”
And suddenly, I can’t see anything. I open my eyes; I try to move my fingers, and I see Ji Hye’s crying right in front of me. I’m back!
“Ji… Hye…” My voice sounds so weak.
Ji Hye wipes her tears. She smiles and her face looks brighter.
“TAE MIN! Finally!!” She hugs me. SHE HUGS ME.
“Do you know what?! I’m afraid if I will lose you! Don’t make me scared like that again!!” She punched my tummy softly. Whoa~ I feel like flying – I’m very happy! But I’m trying to be cool. I hold her hands and look at her eyes, deeply.
“Hye-ah. Don’t cry. I’m here now.” I’m trying to calm her down.
“Tae Min-ah! You are so stupid. I hate you! You know, I’ve been waiting for you for a week! And…”
She hasn’t finished her words as I kiss her lips. She stares at me for a while.
“You… Why did you kiss me without permission?! YAA~ I’m gonna kick you!”
“I love you. I thought you love me too?” I show her my ultra-innocent face. Haha. I run as I know if she would chase me.
“TAE MIN-AH! You’re so naughty!!”
“Ah! Wait! I haven’t totally recovered. You can’t do this to me, I should have some rest. Bye!” I pretend to sleep as I heard her voice softly said. “I love you too, stupid.” And she walks away. I run and give her a back hug.
“Finally! I’ve been waiting for you to say that for about 7 years! Why don’t you say that earlier?”
I ask her about her relationship with Jun Ha, and why that boy didn’t visit me. She said that she broke up with him already. Well, I feel very sorry about that, and happy at the same time.
“How did it happen?” asked me.
“I said that you’re the only one who can understand me. He said okay. He felt very sad though, but he can do nothing. So he let me go.”
“And now, where is he?”
“I’m here.” A man entered the room. It’s Jun Ha. Jun Ha is here! He saw me hug his girl, his ex-girl.
“Sorry.” said Jin Hye and me, almost at the same time.
“Nah, it’s okay. I’m here to congrats you both. I read the writings in the time capsule. And I figured out something… Haha. Guess what?” said Jun Ha as he shows us the papers with a smile. He runs right after showing it because he knew that I would catch him and poke his head.
“JUN HA!!!!!” Ji Hye shouted. I wondered what she wrote on that paper. She blushed. I read the paper and my face turns red too.
I wanna be Tae Min’s girl in the future.
Little Ji Hye
OMO! Is that true? I’m very happy! But I turn my head to Ji Hye, she’s reading mine! Eotteokhae?!
“One day, I will say to Ji Hye that I love her sooooo much! And I’ll make her mine!” said Ji Hye. She laughs. “Make me as yours? Are you kidding me Tae Min-ah! We were only 10 and you wanted to make me yours? Haha!” She looks so excited.
“YAAA~ why you said it out loud?!”
I’m so embarrassed yet so happy. I see Jun Ha giggled and walked away.
Thanks, Jun Ha. I wouldn’t forget you, my best friend ever!
“So… Ji Hye… Would you be my girl?” I asked her softly.
She doesn’t answer me. But I’m surprised as she gives me a quick kiss on my cheek. And then she runs.
“Hey, my ugly boyfriend! Pack your things~ let’s go home! Ppali!” she shouted right in front of the door.
My mouth dries up, since I feel extremely happy. I pack my things and left the room. Ji Hye, you really drive me crazy!
7 years of love, what a happy ending.
