Part 21
(Chungha's p.o.v)
I woke up and washed up and make breakfast. After making breakfast, I went to Ashley. "Ashley? Wakie wakie!! Breakfast is served." I said. "No! No! Please don't leave me yet! I still need you. Please..." she said and pulled my hand. "Ashley?? Ashley!" I called her and shook her. She opened her eyes and looked towards me then hugged me. "I don't want him to leave... it's all my fault. I should have tried my best to stop Minjun." Ashley said. I make her face me. "Ashley look. If you're going to waste your time crying about something in the past, it won't work. Nothing will work. It will only make you feel worse. So please. Our graduation is tomorrow. You'll meet him. You have to show him that you're strong. You can't cry like this. After breakfast, let's go for a walk. Okay? Now let's eat." I said and helped her out. When she sat at the table, she only stared at the food blankly. "Ashley... come on eat." I said. She slowly picked the bread and ate. After a few bite, she stopped eating. "I'm full... I'll wash up." She said and washed up. After she washed up, I changed to something better and brought her out. "Since you're feeling all sad and stressed, let's go get some fresh air. You can shout all you want there okay? I promise I won't stop you from shouting this time." I said. She just nodded. After a few minutes of walking, we arrived at Han River. We stood by the railings and just stared at the river. Suddenly I got a text.
From: Satan Hyuk 🙄
Are you sure this will work?
To: Satan Hyuk🙄
We don't know if we don't try. Where are you now?
From: Satan Hyuk 🙄
Almost arriving
After messaging Hyuk, I looked at Ashley. "You never slept last night don't you?" I asked. "I can't sleep. My mind is full of things." She answered. "Come on. We're graduating! We're going to work together! There's no point for you to be sad when there's Kim Chungha." I said and for the first time since last night, she laughed. Even though it's a little. I looked behind Ashley and saw Hyuk and Hongbin. Then I turned around to not make it obvious that it's planned.
"Chungha?" I heard Hyuk called me. I turned around and smiled. "Oh Hyuk! What are you doing here?" I asked. "Just getting some fresh air." He answered. After he answered, Ashley turned around. I saw her smile fade as soon as she turned. She looked down. I looked towards Hongbin and he was looking at her. "Hmm how about we get some drink? Maybe we could hang out before graduation!" Hyuk suggested as soon as he realised the situation we're in.
(Ashley's p.o.v)
We walked to the nearest cafe and looked for a seat. "Let's buy drinks!" Chungha said. I nodded and stood up. "How about you take care of this place while Hyuk and I buy the drink?" She said. I nodded and sit back. 'Not now. Just look around but not him. Both of you are total strangers. You're nothing to him now. And.... he's nothing to you...' I said in my head. It was awkward. If that did not happened, we wouldn't be like this. I slowly looked up and looked at him. He was looking elsewhere. I was looking at him when he turned and our eyes met.
What I felt? I feel that my heart was being shot. He did not give me that caring lovable look, but instead, the cold ice look. The look he would give me when we used to hate each other. 'Us hating each other is better than us loving each other.' His words repeated in my head. He hates me now.
I broke The Eye contact and looked towards Chungha and Hyuk who's coming to us. They came and sat. "So..... are you guys happy for our graduation?" Chungha asked. "Of course!! I'll finally leave school!!" Hyuk answered. "How about you Ashley?" Hyuk asked. I did not hear anything. I was busy thinking. "Ashley?" Chungha shook me a little bit. "Yes?" I asked. "Are you happy were graduating?" Hyuk asked again. "I don't know. I just want to get out from that school because it gives me good memories and bad. Memories that just happened to me." I answered. "Where are you guys working after this?" Chungha asked.
"My dad's company."
"Ashley's dad company."
Hongbin and I said at the same time. I looked at him and smile. We're working in the same company. Expecting a smile from him, he just gave me a blank look. "Great! I'll be working there too!!" Hyuk said. "Me too!!" Chungha added. We talked about school and stuff. "Ashley! Yesterday you was great!!! Never expected you to dress like that!" Hyuk suddenly said. Memories from yesterday came flooding in. My eyes watered. "Excuse me. I'll go outside for a while." I said and went outside. I sat on a bench and cried. I don't care about the looks I'll get. It hurts to love someone who gave you so much to remember then he just hate you.
(Hyuk's p.o.v)
After I said that, Chungha looked at me and gave me a glare. Oh no I just reminded her of the incident. "Excuse me. I'll go outside for a while." Ashley said and left. Chungha and I looked at each other then Hongbin. "What?" He asked. "Go after her. You called me crying yesterday saying that she left and you regretted everything. Now make it up ." I said. "You know? Ashley did not sleep and she did not eat because of you. Now go after her. She needs you. It all depends on you now." Chungha added. "Hongbin, if you want to be together, you have to-get-her." I said. He looked at me and Chungha then he left. "What the hell were you saying?" Chungha asked. "Mission success!! Now let's spy on them!" I said and pulled Chungha out.
(Hongbin's p.o.v)
"If you want to be together, you have to get her." Hyuk's words replayed in my head. I looked around for Ashley and saw her sitting on the bench. I went beside her and looked at her. Ashley looked up and our eyes meet. She stood up and wanted to leave. I pulled her hand and hugged her. I used to hug you when we sleep, I used to hug you when you're down. She pushed me away.
"What are you doing?" She asked. I was shocked. "What are you doing?" She asked again. "There's no enemies in this world that would hug their rival. Right? Who am I right? Stop telling me that you love me when you're just trying to forget about Jiyeon." She said. I was shocked. She couldn't have changed right? "I made a big mistake." She said. "What mistake?" I asked. "I made a big mistake choosing you as my Husband. And loving you." She said. "The hardest thing about realising you don't love me is that you spent so much time pretending you did." I said. "I did not love you? Okay then. Yes. I never loved you . All this time I tried to open my heart for you. And when I fall for you, you make me the most happiest person on earth. Guess it's all just fake love right?" She answered. I looked towards her my eyes tearing.
"This is the reason why I hate getting close to people because they will just walk out of my life no matter how close we are. You gave me hope. You're the reason why I'm happy. Then you leave. You expect me to live on my own when I've been holding onto you? I'm not a thing that when you're tired of me, you'll ignore me. I'm a human. I have feelings too." I said. "I'm a human too. I have feelings Too. You wanted to leave yesterday. But I insisted I leave because it will hurt me so much thinking that you'll leave and won't come back. You denied my explanation, you chose to believe in what you saw not the truth. Us hating each other is better than us loving each other." Ashley said. "I don't hate you. I love you. But loving you kills me. So this is goodbye. Even if I don't want it to be. Thank you Ashley Kim." I said and turned around.
