Loving Mrs. Hwang

Years Later

2 years later...

In my favorite coffee shop.

I'm almost done with my coffee so I sipped it till the last drop. Almost every day after work, I go here or whenever I have free time. I'm just here thinking about life and refreshing my mind.

I graduated last year and now, I'm currently working as a junior graphic artist.

The salary is good. Cushdy. That's a check. ✔

The job is kinda toxic but the people are good. Another check. ✔

I have my own apartment and car. Check and check.✔✔

And savings for my future. Big check. ✔

It seems that it turned out good to me, I chose to be a better person and I didn't give up even if she left me.

Tiffany Hwang.

I sighed. All these years, she's still invading my mind. I don't know what I feel for her now. I can't verify if I still have feelings for her.

I'm not hurt anymore and I'm not mad at her. Time really heals, just don't rush and it will help you.

Well, I'm still single. I tried to date others but I don't know what's wrong with me. Ever since Tiffany left, my heart became dysfunctional.

Ugh... Okay okay... Maybe I still love her, I just can't admit it to myself. We don't even have proper closure and I want an explanation from her.

I have no news from her for the whole past years. Hyoyeon said they don't have communication anymore but I doubt that.

I also think that she already finished her Master's Degree. Maybe if she continued her relationship with Minho, they're possibly married now.

I don't know but I'm happy if she's happy now.

Anyway I'm still friends with Yoona and Seolhyun. They are really amazing. Seolhyun and I easily get over after I went out of the hospital. She supports me in every way that she can and we never open the topic again about her feelings. I don't know if she still loves me but I think our relatioship now is better. I like it this way and we are very close.

And about Yoona, she's one of my colleagues. She's still my bestest friend. She had done a lot of things just to make me feel alright. She was there when I was inflicted by my broken heart. She helped me to compose myself again like restoration, repairing and healing my heart.

I was wretched and the pain was insufferable.

Before I was blinded by my conviction that my life also ended because the love of my life was gone but I was wrong. I have my family and friends, they gave me ample attention and abounding love when I needed it the most so I also helped myself to get up and continue my life.

I can say I'm fine now but there's still something that's missing in my heart. I have no idea where to find it or how could I fill it but I won't rush things this time because before I guess, I was rushing things with Tiffany but I never regret loving her.

This wistful memories always haunt me but I already accepted it and it's not hurting me anymore. That's a good thing right?

I stood up, I think I spent enough time here in the coffee shop and it's a good time.

I was about to walk when someone accidentally bumped me.

"Oh I'm sorry," the guy apologized politely.

"I-It's fine," I was staring at him in awe.

He finally recognized me "Taeyeon? It's nice to see you again."

I meekly nodded "Good to see you Minho."

Something in his finger caught my attention, a ring. It was like a wedding ring. It was different from before.

"Y-you're married," I blurted out my thought.

He played his ring briefly and smiled genuinely "Yes. I'm married. I just got home from America with her."

I nodded. I knew it, Tiffany is with him.

"She's here," Minho informed me. "Wanna meet her?"

My heart started to pound wildly in my chest. I'm not yet ready to see Tiffany. I have to get out of here. I can't see her married to this guy and happy having their ideal life together. It will kill me.

"I-I'm sorry but I can't, I have to go," I said in hurry.

"Oh okay... anyway, we will meet Hyoyeon some other day. Maybe we will see you there," he assumed.

I just nodded "Okay. I gotta go," then I rushed out of the coffee shop and I ran away to my car.

I clicked the remote of my car and unlocked it. Suddenly, I felt my phone vibrated in my pocket. I took it out and saw that I got a message from Hyoyeon.

I read it "Please go to my apartment, we need to talk about something important."

Maybe she will inform me that Tiffany and Minho are back. Just great.

I replied okay to her then I went inside my car.

The pain just came back without a warning. How could I face Tiffany? If I see her, for sure, the walls that i built for two years will collapse again.

Damn. I still love that woman but she's married now.

I went straight to Hyoyeon's apartment.

I just came in without permission because I know her combination of passcode. Vice versa. She knows mine as well.

As I entered her crib, I saw her sitting on the couch with someone. I could just see their back.

She's with a friend with short black hair.

"Hey sis, I already know what you're going to tell me," I said while I sauntered to them.

"Huh? You do?" Hyoyeon asked.

I froze when I saw the woman she was with.

Those familiar eye smile that got me. Her beauty never fade but the time made her ravishing than before.

She's breathtaking and one of a kind goddess. Her new haircut just fit to her, she became more sophisticated.

My body was trembling lightly, my heart would burst anytime soon.

"Taeyeon," Tiffany softly said. I missed that voice so much.

Then I felt tears were running down my face.

"W-what is she doing here?" I muttered.

"Please Taeyeon, just calm down. We will explain everything to you," Hyoyeon told me.

"Okay..." I almost whispered then sat on the single couch still facing them.

"I missed you so much, Taeyeon," Tiffany longingly said.

Why would she say that? She's already married!

I thought I wasn't ready to see her but I missed her so badly and I'm happy that she's here. I shouldn't feel this way but I can't control my feelings.

I'm still in love with Professor Hwang.

That's terrible. s**t.
