"Have you ever been dumped because your boyfriend stopped loving you?"
"Do you know? How will people who don't have rights feel?"
The rainy season may not be liked by many people, but for me, I like it the most because whenever I feel so sad that I can't hold back my tears, at least I'm not crying alone that day. As always, after work from my close senior's cafe, I went out to walk along the river at night like every day.
But today was different because I saw this girl sitting alone in a chair crying at night. I didn't understand why she looked so hurt by her life. Tears streamed down her cheeks, but there was no expression. You will wipe it away. Who could make someone as beautiful as you look like this? I hurriedly walked closer to her than before.
before handing her my handkerchief to wipe away her tears. She looked at me confused but reached out and took my handkerchief before asking me softly.
"Have you ever been dumped because your boyfriend stopped loving you?"
"I don't know. I've never had a lover before. Do you have any discomfort? Please tell me." I asked her softly. I don't know what courage made me ask you, I just don't want to see anyone feel this sad.
"You are so kind. I am just a person who has no choice or the right to choose the path for my love with my boyfriend." The thin woman vented.
"Don't say things like that, please calm down." I could only console her because right now I didn't know what to do.
"I know that I also have flaws and have made him sad. Or maybe because I don't have time for him myself, he feels like he can live without me."
"Don't just blame yourself. I understand, but everyone has to have their own duties as well. It wouldn't be right to think like that at all."
“Probably like that. Maybe because I'm older than him, our time is more different. When I'm working, he might be free. It's been like that for a long time, causing our feelings to drift apart as well," she said before crying again.
"I may not understand you very much, but please don't cry. Tears are not suitable for a beautiful person like you." I smiled at her, but this time my hand reached out to wipe away her tears.
"That's right. I don't know why I'm sitting here crying and feeling sad even though my lover is so sure that breaking up might be a good solution for us." The woman resisted. Smiling through tears for the first time. That woman's smile was very beautiful even though she smiled through tears.
"Don't be sad. People don't have much time to look back or look at the past. Let's keep this love as a lesson for the future."
"Thank you, it's been a long time since anyone has listened to my feelings. Even though I haven't had the chance to choose to let my love return to the way it was before, I still have a choice for me to love myself again. Thank you. Really.” The young woman smiled again before standing up.
"No problem, I'm willing." I replied and smiled at the person in front of me as well.
"My name is Jessica. I'm sorry I didn't introduce myself first." Jessica introduced herself before stopping and looking at me.
"I'm Taeyeon. Kim Taeyeon. Nice to meet you." I introduced myself.
"I hope we'll meet again, Taeyeon-ssi. Thank you for everything you reminded me of today," Jessica said before smiling at me again before walking away.
"It's okay. It's all about this. You will get through this painful story by yourself. No one will be happy or disappointed forever." I shouted after her. She turned around and smiled at me again. That beautiful smile is always stuck in my heart. I hope we can meet again, Jessica. I said this to myself before walking back to my place, not knowing that I would be the luckiest person after that day.
A week has passed.
A famous cafe that has customers coming and going almost all the time, so that the employees in the shop don't get breaks like every day. But today was different because today a miracle happened for Kim Taeyeon. When a beautiful customer walked into the store, that person was “Jessica”, the person I wanted to see again appeared in front of me.
"Oh, Ms. Taeyeon works here?" Jessica asked, shocked when she saw my face.
"Yes, but today I saw Jessica smile and I was happy too."
“Because of you, Taeyeon, you have given me the strength to fight again.” Jessica smiled at the person in front of her.
"Not that much. I told you that everything will be possible because of us. More than just loving yourself very much, but don't forget to share the love you have with those around you. Oh, and don't call me 'Mr.' Please just call me Taeyeon,” I told her before lowering my head because her smile was really cute.
"Then Taeyeon doesn't have to call me Miss either. What time do you get off work today?" Jessica asked, smiling widely when she saw my face was completely red.
"Today ends at 5 p.m., is there something wrong?" I asked, confused.
"Let's go eat. I want to repay you for that day.”
"Uh, okay, Sika, please sit and wait," I said shyly, not expecting that she would invite me to eat. It made me even happier to get a bonus from the boss. After that, time passed quickly and the two of us went to eat at Jessica's close friend's restaurant. The atmosphere inside the restaurant was quiet and there was a grassy area on the side. store
The colorful flower garden provides relief from the fatigue of a long day's work.
"Do you like this restaurant, Taeyeon?" Jessica asked, bringing her face so close to mine that I could hardly do anything.
"I like it. I really like it. I just found out that there's a beautiful shop like this here too." I replied before avoiding the beautiful eyes that looked at me.
"If you like us, we can often come eat here together. Sika's friend is kind enough to give Sika a discount every time. 5555" Jessica said before laughing a little at my attitude.
“It's okay, Tae, I'm considerate of Sika and Sika's friends as well,” I replied with consideration, but I secretly saw the disappointed look in Jessica's eyes, so I hurriedly continued, “But if next time you come, I'd like to be the babysitter. It's Sika."
"Alright, but Tae promised we'd come together again," Jessica said before sticking out her pinky finger like a child to me.
"Sika looks like a child and will be involved in the contract." I said before looking at Jessica who was already pouting.
"I'm sorry," Jessica said before taking back her hand. When I saw it, I immediately put my pinky finger around Jessica's finger.
"Oh, you're like Ontae," I said before making a funny face at Jessica until she smiled again.
"Alright, I'll forgive you this time. Next time I won't give in so easily."
"The food has arrived. Let's hurry up and eat. Tae is very hungry." I said before starting to eat immediately.
"Thank you very much Taeyeon for eating with me today."
"It's okay, Tae. I also have to thank Sica for inviting Tae out to eat. Tae is bored with nothing to do these days." I told a big lie. It wasn't that I didn't have anything to do, but I wanted to see this beautiful woman's face. and build our relationship separately
“Shall we go see a movie today?” Jessica invited because it wasn't too late yet and she didn't want to go home yet.
"okay"
“Then Sica, let Tae choose which one to watch.”
“Alright, Sika can see everything, right?” I asked, looking at the person in front of me.
“All right, let's hurry and go,” Jessica said before walking to the car and immediately driving to the mall in the center of the city. Soon we both bought tickets and hurried into the movie theater.
“Is something wrong with Sica? Are you afraid of ghosts?” I pretended to ask the person next to me who had been frozen since entering the movie theater.
"That's right. Knowing this, I won't let Tae choose," Jessica whispered softly before closing her eyes tightly.
“Haha, don't be afraid, it's just a movie. And most importantly, Tae is always beside Sika. There's no way I'll let Sika be afraid alone." What did I just say? I don't know how I dared to say such a thing, but Sika held my hand tightly. My hands are so soft. If I could hold them forever, what would it be like? I thought to myself and secretly looked at Sika many times until the movie ended. Sika then drove me home.
"Let's go together again someday," Jessica said before we exchanged lines with each other so we could communicate more easily.
"Sweet dreams tonight," I told Jessica before walking into my own house.
After that, the two of us talked and kept in touch for several months as we visited each other, went out to eat, watched movies, or hung out on the weekends. Our relationship got better and better. I usually send a Line to say goodnight to Sika every day. Jessica often sleeps early, so she often answers me in the morning.
But I'm happy that I often bake sweets for her. She always tasted my snacks with a smile. She was so kind to me that I decided to tell her my feelings. Today, I will go to your house and prepare the daisies that I planted to give to you in the hope that after I confess my love to you, She probably loves me. This Taeyeon must be going crazy. Just another alley to Sika's house. What are you doing? I was about to walk and had to quickly sneak away because I saw Jessica standing and talking to someone.
"Sika, can you forgive Yul? Yul is sorry for making Sika sad and cry that day." That person I've often seen in the news, Kwon Yuri. I never thought he would be Jessica's ex-boyfriend.
"And where has Yul gone in the past? Yul was a person who was confident in that choice, wasn't he?" Jessica cried a lot. I wanted to go comfort her, but did I have that right?
“Yul is sorry that that day Yul thought that his love for Sika had disappeared, but on the contrary, the love and longing that Yul once had for Sika increased without realizing it, and even realizing it, Yul was hurt. With all my heart, I saw Yuri hug Jessica tightly and I really wanted to push him away.
"Sika loves Yul. I've always loved Yul alone. This time, don't make Sika sad again," Jessica said, I heard it clearly with both my ears.
"Yul loves Sica too. Let's start over." Yuri said before kissing Jessica.
Do you know that in that moment, this Kim Taeyeon's world seemed to fall apart? I've been in pain all over my heart and tears have flowed from my eyes since when. I still can't answer myself. In the past, I understood that she was kind to me, but it made me think that she was always this kind to her friends. And what's even more unbelievable is that it's raining again today. Or do the people above know that it's Kim Taeyeon?
This person is crying. You probably don't want me to cry alone, but today is the first day that I hate rainy days because I feel pain all over my heart. If I could go back in time to the first day I met Jessica. I would ask her, "Do you know? How will people who don't have rights feel?"
For several days, Jessica and I had no contact at all, probably because she was probably busy with her lover. But I still send her a line to say goodnight every night, even though I know where I stand or even if she doesn't read my lines at all, I still do the same thing. Because it was my pleasure to do this while I sat and waited to see if she would reply to my line or not. Jessica walked in front of me.
“Taeyeon, I have something to talk to you about. Are you free?” Jessica said, making me very shocked to see her, but I quickly smiled at her like before.
"I'm free. Is there something wrong with you?"
“Can we go out and talk for a bit?” Jessica said with a worried look on her face. I guessed that she would definitely talk to me about her lover. I agreed before we walked out of the store. As I followed her out of the store, it felt like the earth was sinking with every step I took. I had to hold back my tears. I didn't want to let her see me cry.
“What is the matter?” I asked softly.
“From now on, Sika probably won't come see Tae often. We might not be able to eat together like we used to again,” Jessica said before looking at me again.
“Sika's girlfriend has returned?” I pretended to ask.
“I'm sorry, Tae, but Sika has to go. Sika knows what Tae thought of Sika all this time. Tae's eyes told Sika everything. I'm sorry I made you sad," Jessica said before crying.
“Tae understands, no need to apologize, Sica. In the end, people will choose the path that they think is most suitable for them. Tae loves Sika, but Tae will not ask Sika to love Tae like Tae does. From now on, I hope you will be happy with the path that Sika has chosen. Tae will always be here to support Sica and stay away like this forever.” Even without me joining you on that walk, Jessica.
“Thank you, Taeyeon, for the good feelings you always have for me. I will never forget you,” Jessica said before walking up to hug me. The first time we hugged, I felt so good. It might have been the first hug. And one last hug, but I'll never forget it.
“Be very happy,” I told Jessica again. What kind of ending will the story of a person without rights like me have? That's what I've always wondered about. But today I can answer for myself, even though we can't be together with him, the good wishes and love I have for him, whether he accepts it or not. It is always valuable if the feeling comes from our feeling heart.
