It was not until I reached school that I realized my car had a flat tire. I called my dad to bring it home. But the matter here was I need to someone to drive me home.
I heard that Yunho and Jaejoong got a date after class, so I shouldn’t bother them. Then I called Heechul, but he didn’t pick up the phone like usual. There was someone left
I observed him in a long distance. Yoochun was standing alone in a corner of the library. I felt at ease when seeing him OK. Overall, it was me who had my unilateral love
_”How it going?”- Yoochun was on the phone
_”I just can’t stand my pervert boss any longer. I quit my job”- A woman voice seemed so angry on the phone-“But mom will be mad at me again”
_”That’s ok. People fight for their own sake,. That’s a philosophy. Trust me. You will be just fine”
_”Thank you sweetie. I will cook you dinner tonight”
That boy mastered the art of cheering up. That woman definitely felt comfortable hearing his warm words. Soon after Yoochun turned off his phone, he noticed me. There was nowhere for me to hide. I had to face with him
_”My sister..”- Yoochun said -“She just got fired from work”
_”Oh… I’m so sorry”
Maybe Yoochun could think that I heard his conversation and may get something wrong. I didn’t suppose that it was necessary for him to explain. We didn’t mean to each other, complete strangers. But I felt released when learning that she was his sister
_”She has changed several jobs and this is her 12th job”
_”Wow”- I surprised-“Actually…”- I lost for words
_”Do you have something to tell me?”- He asked
_”Yeah. My car had a flat tire. I wonder if I…”
_”No problem”- Yoochun easily caught it-“I’ll take you home”
I walked along with him to the parking lot. Then I saw him open a silver BMW car
_”You changed the car, didn’t you”- I asked sitting next to him
_”Yeah, actually, it was on last Thursday”- He answered, turning on the car
Along the road, only the sound from the stereo did the talking. They gave information about the next coming storm to Seoul. I didn’t give a damn, inside my heart, it was always stormy
Yoochun stopped the car in a pharmacy store then said to me
_”I have to buy medicines for my grandma. Can you please wait for a while?”
_”Sure”- I smiled
Seeing his back far and far away, I thought there was an invisible boundary between us, we could never be the same again. I couldn’t stand the fact that he belonged to someone else. Heechul was right, I was still a selfish kid who never learned to love in a right way. Maybe I should leave
Busy thinking about it, I didn’t know my phone was ringing. Like being chased by a ghost, I freaked out and dropped the mobile phone. Here, not only selfish, I was also a weak and useless human being.
As I kneed down to get it back, I saw something in the car
There was a button, a black one. That was a coincidence, my jacket lacked a button too. After spending much effort, I found out that it exactly belonged to me. My button? I was here? In Yoochun’s car?
I felt like I was playing a puzzle which pieces needed to be matched perfectly
Before, Yoochun said that he changed his car last Thursday in which we had party and my jacket button was found to be in his car. That meant I was in this car that night and he was the one who drove me home.
Then I saw him back. He looked happy. It could be that he had found the needed type of medicines
_”I’m sorry for letting you wait. They say…”
_”Why didn’t you let me know that you are the one taking me home that night?”- I interrupted him right away
_”I’m sorry. I am about to tell you but…”- He sincerely apologized me
_”You don’t need to say anything. And the one with me that night was you too, right?”- I was blush but had to be clear about it
_”Yeah”- He signed-“I don’t mean to leave you alone in the motel that morning, but my grandma was taken to the hospital and I needed to be there. Before i went, I left you a note”
_”Where?”- I highly doubted it
_”On the table”
Oh my god. I was completely freaking out so I just put on my clothes as soon as possible. I didn’t mind to check anything else. I didn’t notice that there was piece of paper left for me. It was my bad
_”But you didn’t tell me after that”- I was still mad at him
_”I thought it would ruin your relationship with Yunho”-He tried to explain-“You said that you like Yunho”
I felt bitter in my stomach. It was my confusion until Heechul clarified it for me. Now I was so clear about what I thought of Yunho.
_”We’re just brothers”-I stopped-“Anyway, do you love me?”
That was the question I really wanted to ask him. If he said NO, I should put an end soon to my unilateral love and walk away with my pride
_”Yeah. You don’t know how much I love you. I loved you from the day we first met. I never got out of my mind the day when you stood in the basketball and spoke to the coach. You’re straightforward and honest”
That boy never failed to make me stop loving him. I felt so touched when hearing his words, noticeably, I was moved to know how much I meant for him. Anyways
It didn’t change the fact that he had an official girlfriend. I’d rather die than live like a liar
_”You say that people fight for their own sake. But you never fight for your true love”
I said emotionlessly. That was true. If I was that important to him, he should….
I was about to leave but his hand strongly pulled me back
_”If I don’t love you, why do I need to break up with Park Min Young?”
His statement was just like a thunder in the sunny sky. Blinking my eyes, I realized that I began to cry. I just couldn’t hold on my tears. Then he wiped them way and stroked my hair with his particular tenderness
_”Paboo”- He said-“I tend to wait a certain time and tell you what I feel about you. You know. I hate putting pressure on you and I know you can’t stand the guilty feeling of being the 3rd person. Anyways, I love you and I really want to be with you”
How could be like that? We had thought so much for each other. He feared that I could feel guilty of breaking up their relationship and I was afraid that he could be blamed for loving me. But because of it, we almost lost this love. From the first day we met, I should have known that he was the present God sent to me. Thank God, he looked at and approached me that day
_”Your mobile phone”- Yoochun picked up it for me
_”Thanks”- I took it from him and held his hand tightly
If It hadn’t been for my mobile phone, it would have taken me long to have Yoochun. I opened it and saw Heechul message
_”I’m sorry for not answering your call. Is anything wrong with you?”
I called him to take me home a hundred years ago and it was now that he answered me
_”Nothing. I’m just calling to let you know, you’re right, everything turns out to be fine”- I texted him back
_”That’s cool, babe”- He replied
Then I smiled with Yoochun. That was right. Everything was so nice
_”Hey, I love this song”
Yoochun turned on the volume of the stereo, the music began. It was the style of 70-80 pop, which was so classical
_”What’s it called?”- I asked
_”Don’t give up on us”- He answered-“It gave me much courage to confess to you”
He shrugged, touching my hands. His fingers were so smooth and grace. I felt that there was no one that could make me love more than him. I leaned over him and gave my beloved a tender kiss. But it didn’t stop there, we made out till we felt out of breath
_”I love you, Yoochun”- I said, hugging him like a value treasure
_”You know, baby”- He whispered, his sexy voice just drove me crazy-“There is no coincidence. Everything has been arranged by God. The day when I changed my car, I realized my number plate was 143 and you are the first guest in my car”
_”So, you mean..”
_”Yeah, I love you”- He said sincerely
_”Say it again, please”- I acted cutely, trying to make him love me more
_”I love you”
_”Again”
_”I love you”
_”Again”
_”Oh, come on”
Don’t give up on us baby, don’t make the wrong seem right
The future isn’t just for the night, it’s written in the moonlight
And painted on the stars, we can’t change us…..
Don’t give up on us baby, we’re still worth one more try
I know we put the last one by, just for the rainy evening
When maybe stars are few, don’t give up on us I know
We can still come through
I nearly lost my head last night, you’ve got a right to stop believing
There’s still a little love left, even so
Don’t give up on us baby, lord knows we’ve come this far
Can’t we stay the way we are, the angel and the dreamer
Who sometimes plays a fool, don’t give up on us I know
We can still come through
And painted on the stars, we can’t change us
Don’t give up on us baby, we’re still worth one more try
I know we put the last one by, just for the rainy evening
When maybe stars are few, Don’t give up on us baby I know
We can still come through
Don’t give up on us baby, don’t give up on us baby
THE END
