Daeum

Our outreach ended that day and eversince that time, I've started to see Hyungwon more attached to kids now. It's good to see him like that.

Today, I'm walking around the building to my office after I just bought my food outside. Suddenly, my phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Daeum-ah. It's me Minhyukie."

"What.. do you.. need?"

"Nothing.. I just called because I felt the urge to check on you hehe.."

"Oh... umm I--"

"Please come over and eat lunch with me in my place." Minhyuk said quickly.

"Minhyuk-ah but I'm already gonna have my lunch here soon."

"Ditch that, come over I have a feast prepared. Im not taking no for an answer."

"Hey!"

"Bye, see you!"

He suddenly hung up on me. I checked the time and saw that I had 1 hour free. Maybe I could drop by Minhyuk's house then, I didn't want to stand him by if he really did prepare alot.

I took a taxi and rode the way to his house. As soon as I got there, I walked my way to his place. I rang the doorbell twice and he opened up.

"Why do you have a new house? What happened to the old dorm you were staying at?" I asked as I went in.

Drastic change, his house was really beautiful inside now apart from the old dorm he was staying at.

"Now that I take part in our company, my dad gave me the privilege of a better house. Its all mine." He smiled.

"Ohh.... A part of me is happy you left that dorm. I mean... I had bad.... bad experiences there umm.. with you." I remembered.

He looked at me, sorry for that memory.

"Uh.. come let's eat." He motioned.

Minhyuk and I finished eating together within minutes and it was actually quite an awkward meal to be honest. I tried to bear it though because I kept feeling like he wanted to tell me something.

"Jamkkan." Minhyuk said.

I looked at him go to a room in his house. I was curious and he was actually kinda taking his time so I followed him around.

The door was half open so I slowly got in. He felt my presence and slightly looked behind him without turning much.

"What is this room?" I asked.

"Wine room. Where I have stored samples of wine from our company." He answered me while rushing to get a wine glass after finally making a choice.

I made my way closer to him and stared at what he was holding.

"Is that your favorite wine?" I asked.

"Hmm.. not sure." He thought.

"But I do want to taste this wine right now." He added.

He opened the lid and poured some wine, shook the glass slowly around, examined it briefly and made a taste.

"Well, that was refreshing." He breathed.

"Oh..."

He looked at me again.

"Do you want to try some?" He reached out the glass to me.

I smiled and held his arm away from me.

"Remember the words I told you in highschool; I have no interest in wine." I giggled reminiscent of the past. 

"Yeah..." He scoffed.

He looked at his glass and finished his drink, fully taking in the taste. Meanwhile, silence between us began to make back its way.

"Daeum-ah, I have a question to ask." He broke the upcoming silence.

"Ne?" I asked.

He looked at me and turned his body, fully giving me his sincere attention to the upcoming matter he was to talk about. He looked at me in the eye as I tried my best not to break eyecontact he initiated too.

"Daeum-ah.. by any chance. Do you..." he started.

"What...?"

"Do you like Hyungwon?"

"I---"

He threw the question to me and hit the spot. I swear by that time I grew weak on my knees and I was about to wither away.

"Answer me. I can read you like a book... I just need the truth. And I... I will set you free." He added.

"Minhyuk I.... uh.. I--" I stuttered.

"Lee Daeum, do you still have feelings for Chae Hyungwon?" He repeated.

I can't hide no more.

"Yes! Yes I do like Hyungwon." I finally admitted.

I closed my eyes tight and slowly opened them again as I gaze at Minhyuk's face. He clenched his teeth and bitterly smiled as he nodded his head repeatedly, the truth hitting him.

"Haha... well what to expect? Don't worry, I knew I had this coming." He gave me a shoulder pat.

"Minhyuk-ah, I love Hyungwon so much, eotteokhae? How am I supposed to live seeing him getting settled with Riana soon?" I teared up after confessing.

He wiped away my tears and pulled me into a hug.

"If he's meant for you, he will be for you." Minhyuk said.

Hyungwon

I came back to my office noticing something.

I looked around but she was nowhere here.

"Where's Daeum?" I asked the worker, Seolbi, who was arranging my files which startled her a bit.

"Sir... She went out to have lunch." Seolbi said.

"Since what time?" I asked.

"Around 12pm sir." She said.

"12? And now it's almost 1? Does a lunch have to take that long?" I got annoyed by her absence.

"Maybe she's just too hungry sir." Seolbi reasoned.

"Shhhh! Quiet. Go back to work." I shushed, avoiding her comedy.

On the midst of thinking, suddenly, a worker arrived at my office.

"Sir you got mail." He handed out.

"Mail? From what could this be?" I wondered.

I looked at the small old envelope judging from its appearance. I examined it and saw the date 2012.

"2012?? Who would give me untimely letters from 4 years ago now it's 2016? Geez, me and Daeum were still highschool during that time ago." I wondered out of disbelief.

"Sir!! Im so sorry I took so much time!!!!" Daeum suddenly bursted in my office, cutting off my moment.

I quickly forgot about the mail and stood up on instinct to scold her.

"Ya!! You left at 10 and now its past 1pm! Does eating one meal have to take an hour, hey we have a cafeteria here!" I ranted.

"Im so sorry--"

"Shut it, Im not done! You should've hurried up we have work to do! Where are your whereabouts anyways huh?! Was it more important than me?! Where were you? I looked everywhere and your phone was off too!" I finished off scolding her sounding like her boyfriend.

I tried to catch up on my breath while keeping my intensity. She should know how she made me impatient earlier.

"Geez, sorry sir.. You didn't have to go wild like that or something.." She said as I regained my chill.

She looked at my table and found something.

"Oh? What's that?" She said.

"Aish, nevermind that." I pulled her away.

"Yah! Im serious it looks so familiar to me." She said.

"It's just mail from 4 yrs. ago okay! I dont care much." I bluntly said.

She stopped and looked at me.

"Mwo? M-mail from four years ago?!" Her eyes widened.

"W-well y-yeah! What's the big deal? Come, lets go! Im late!" I pulled her out with me.

Daeum

That mail on Hyungwon's table..

I have to see that mail before he does. That mail from four years ago that he received might be the time machine letter I sent to him with my confession on it.

He can't learn about my feelings for him.

Especially with our situation right now. He can't. He just surely can't.

No. He shouldn't.
