She Loves You

Byung-ho picked up the menu on the table and took time in studying it like he wanted to write an exam based on what was written there. After a long time staring at the menu he dropped it back on the table and took his eyes to me, a happy smile formed on his face.

“ What will you like to have? you can look through the menu. I will be having anything you pick. " He said.

“ I am not really that hungry, can I just have something light to drink, no alcohol please. "
I said softly. And I could see the flashes of lightning in the sky and soon after the thunder came sounding loudly.

“ You heard the lady, some wine please and remember no alcohol. " Byung-ho said, directing to the waiter, who nodded and left...

The weather kept at it, lightning flashing and thunder sounding, until the waiter returned with the drinks_ a bottle of non alcoholic wine actually with two glass cups.

He filled the glass cup halfway before the clouds opened up and the rain started pouring down. The rain did come with strong wind and even though we were inside the brick shelter of the restaurant building I could still feel the coldness.

My dress wasn't really helping, it was really light, not cold resistance at all.

Guess Byung-ho knew this, he was the one that bought it after all, maybe that's why he did what he did next or he simply wanted to be a gentleman.

Standing up he took off his suit jacket and wore it on me.

“ Don't worry you still look very beautiful, " He said, flashing me a smile, then sat back on his chair.

“ Thank you. " I said softly.

“ Ji-a. "
He called my name like he wanted to say something but remained silent for some seconds before he started speaking.
“ Ji-a there is something I want to tell you, there is something I think you really need to know. " He said then took my hand that was placed on the table.
“ I like you Ji-a, I like you a lot. From the very first day I set my eyes on you I knew you were special. Every single day I spent with you was like a holiday, you made me laugh and smile Ji-a, even when I am sad seeing your face alone was enough reason for me to be happy. Ji-a you came into my life and took away the sadness, the hole that was there before. You filled that hole up and you made my heart new once more Ji-a, you made me happy once more. I have never been so sure of anything in my life the way I am sure of this. I love, I love you Ji-a..Will you please be my girlfriend. "
He said and I felt him pour his whole heart to me in his words.

What do I do?
What do I do now???

Location: Lee's Mansion

Lee Chun's POV

“ Lee Chun.. Oh my God! Lee Chun what have you done! "
Kia exclaimed in shock as she came into the bathroom - seeing all the mess I have done.

I was mute just sitting on the watery floor_ Yes watery floor, cause water from the broken tap and sink has almost flooded the whole bathroom, threatening to move to the room.

But I didn't mind, I just sat down there, head buried to the floor and an overwhelming emotional pain.

“ Lee Chun.. what happened here. Oh God! You are blending! "
Kia stated, freaking out.

I wasn't really paying attention to her. I haven't even glanced at her since she came into the bathroom...

She quickly left the room..only to return back some seconds later with a piece of small light cloth in her hand, she then ran to me.

I wonder how she didn't fall down because the floor was wet and surely slippery.

Crouching down. “ How could you do this to yourself Lee Chun! What were you thinking? What could have made you do this?.. "
She kept nagging as she wrapped the light piece of cloth on my wrist.

I still haven't yet said anything at this time, to be frank I wasn't myself.

“ Tell me what happened here? How did this happen? " She asked yet another question, but I remained mute.
“ Is this because of Ji-a? " She said and this time I raised my head up to her face.

Just hearing the name Ji-a is enough to get my attention..

But I really don't know if hearing her name then was a good thing cause it made me feel worse, the pains I felt in my heart increased.

“ It is about her. " She said in a sure tone.
“ Oh, you poor soul..you are in love with her. "
She said and I felt the tears building up in my eyes.

Kia embraced me tightly. ” What has that Cripple Monkey done to my kid brother? She has stolen his heart..it's alright, everything will be fine, it's alright "
She said whilst still hugging me tightly.

I needed that hug, I truly do.

” I have lost her, I let her go. " I muttered and she disengaged from the hug.

“ No, you didn't lose her. Yes you let her go but you didn't lose her, at least not yet. You can still have her back, I know I and her may not be best of friends, but clearly she means a lot to you and you mean a lot to me. I can't stand seeing you like this, it's really disheartening. But If you love her so, what's stopping you from being together with her? "
She said and I shot a stare at her.

“ I do love her, I love her so much. " My heart was aching, when I said that.

” Then what's stopping you from telling her this? Go tell her how you feel. "
She said and it sounded so simple in her mouth.

“ It's too late now, I have lost her to another. " I said.

“ I told you before, you haven't lost her, she is still very much in your reach. "
She said and I really didn't understand what she was saying.

Didn't she see Ji-a leaving with Byung-ho? Didn't she hear when Byung-ho said he wanted to ask her out?

So what is she saying? She is still in my reach.

“ What are you saying? She is with Byung-ho now, he must have asked her out already and both of them are probably in each other's arms. "
I said sorrowfully.

“ You silly boy, you are forgetting one thing, one very important thing. " She said, making me confused, as I wondered what I was forgetting.

” And that is?? " I asked in a confused look.

“ For a relationship to start it depends on the girl and girl alone, the guy is free to woo and persuade her but it all rests on the girl's response, just one word will depend if the relationship starts or fails even before it begins. How are you so sure Ji-a would say YES to your friend Byung-ho proposal instead of NO? "
She said and I was left thinking.

“ I..I don't know. Why won't she? " I stuttered.

“ Because she is in love with you silly! Can't you see it in her eyes that she is madly in love with you? Didn't you notice it in the way she stared at you when Byung-ho was taking her away? She was practicing begging you with her eyes to prevent her from leaving. Don't tell me you couldn't see it? And you are supposed to be an expert in all things relating to girls, how come you couldn't tell she is equally in love with you, if not more in love with you, than you are in love with her, and if you think you are hurting right now? I can't imagine how she would have felt when you let her go with another man, she would probably think you don't love her and that would hurt her more than anything. So you have to go to her Lee Chun, you have to go and apologize to her first then confess your feelings to her. Do this and stop acting like a child. "
Kia said and I felt my heart beating really fast as she spoke.

Ji-a is in love with me? Is she really that in love with me that she wanted me to stop her from leaving with Byung-ho?

I know she felt something for me but I didn't know it was a strong feeling, and I never want to hurt her.

Did I really hurt her by letting her go with Byung-ho? Will it be right for me to go after her despite the fact I know Byung-ho is in love with her?

I am really confused.

“ What about Byung-ho? He is my best friend and he is in love with Ji-a... I can't hurt him. "
I muttered and Kia just stared at me.

“ I understand, but listen carefully to what I am about to say now... "
