Love Mode On

Chapter 13

Nora's POV:--

Mia was fast asleep, whereas I wasn't feeling sleepy at all. So quietly getting out of the bed with My cellphone and earphone I slipped out of our apartment. The earlier event of today was still replaying in my mind.

Unknowingly, my hands went to my lips, where he lips met mine. I was shocked as well as happy, when Mia informed me how Ryan was worried about me and he was the one who rescued me. And not only that, he also perform CPR on me.

Shaking my head, in order to clear that thoughts. I put my earphone on and was listening sad songs. I don't know why but whenever I listen sad song, it kind of comforts me.

With that I walked downstairs but not before stealing a glance at Sarah and Ryan apartment which was right opposite of ours. But something caught my attention. I walked towards it and picked it up.

Thinking whether to throw it or give it to it's owner.

"You know why this place is so famous?" Mrs Lee asked excited.

"Because of its beauty?" One of our classmates replied, making Mrs Lee shake her head.

"Well the thing is this place is famous for love. This place makes one's love even deeper and stronger than before. For all the couple who loves their partner, you will definitely like this place." She exclaims, making the entire girls sequel.

"If only my husband was here." She muttered to her, making all of us look at her with pity.

She lost her husband who was our college basketball coach, died two years ago due to a car accident. May he rest in peace.

"Now don't give those look and take your ass away from here and enjoy these place." She joked.

She and other professors pass us a love lock along with pen to write our name and wish on it.

After receiving the love locks, we started climbing towards the Namsan Tower which was way much crowded. We can see many locks on the railings, Christmas trees, gates and fences.

To say this place was beautiful would be an injustice. It was much more than beautiful. The place was filled with couple from different age groups. All were looking at their lover with affection and love in their eyes. Some were locking their love locks with their soulmate by their side, while some were busy taking selfies capturing this precious moment.

Well, the Love was literally in the air.

I was walking with Harry by my side, his arm was over my shoulder. I lean my head towards him. One glance at us and people would misunderstand as couple.

While Mia who was walking ahead of us, had a scowl on her face, due to a particular person. Guess who? Yes you are right. Liam Lautner. He had his hand wrapped around her waist and had her stick to him closely. Which he seems to enjoy, although ignoring the dirty angry looks that he kept receiving from Mia.

And the golden couple. My favourite!!!! Was walking right by our side. On my right was Ryan whose hand was intertwined with Sarah and had her head leaning on his arms. They both were in their own world. They both were talking about something with a smile on their faces, making me feel envy.

I wanted to move on and find my real happiness.

Writing it on my love lock, I locked my lock on the railings and throw it's key far away in the sea.

Seeing my friends were busy writing their wishes on the lock, I walk towards the bench to sit.

"Excuse me!! Can you take a picture of us?" An old lady around her mid sixties said with a sweet smile on her face. Right beside her was old man around late sixties, her husband. He had his hand wrapped around her waist. They look so cute.

"Why not?" I smiled back, as I take their cellphone.

They both were looking at each other with so much love and affection. I clicked a picture.

He held her one hand and twirl her. A big smile on playing on both of their lips. I clicked another picture.

They were literally couple goals. They were an inspiration for all the young couples and singles here.

"Thanks Honey." Says the Old woman, when I gave them their cellphone back.

"Your most welcome."

"If you both don't mind, can I ask something?" I asked biting my lips.

"What is it do you want to know?" The old man asked politely.

"How did you guys met?"

A chuckle escape their mouth, when they hear what I asked. Making me slightly confused.

"We married each other in order to get revenge our ex, but when we were supposed to split up. We realized we can't live without each other. Because we were in deeply in love with each other." The old woman narrated with dreamy look on her face.

"That's a lovely story."

"What about you sweetheart? Don't you love someone?" The old man asked vanishing the smile on my face.

"I do. But seems like I was late." I said glancing at Ryan. And to my surprise he was already staring at me.

His camera was directed towards me, as if he was taking a picture of mine. Nah, that's not possible. He already has Sarah, the love of his life.

"Because the person I love is already with someone else." I said looking away.

Why he is giving me mixed signals? Wasn't he was the one who told me to move on?

***

After returning from Namsan Tower, we decided to rest and have dinner at one of the best restaurants here.

All of us except Sarah and Ryan was going out of the hotel where we were staying. Strangely, Sarah and Ryan wasn't in their room, when we enter their room to find it empty. So we decided to go by ourselves.

As we exited the hotel, that's when we spotted them. Both were looking for something around. Sarah seems worried and on the verge of crying. Whereas Ryan was trying to comfort her, which wasn't working at all.

"What exactly are they doing?" Asked Liam back hugging Mia, but like earlier she pulls away with a scowl on her face. She walk towards me and stand by my side. Making Liam pout.

"Let's go and asked them." Harry replied, walking towards them and dragging me alongside with him.

"What's the matter, Sarah?" Mia asked straightforwardly, when we reached them.

"Oh!! H-He...y Guys." She said nervously and smiles brightly. Hiding her tears by her smile.

"I lost the necklace that Ryan gave me years ago." She sniffles.

"Sarah it's not a big deal. I will get you the new one." Ryan assures her, making her look at him.

"It's a big deal Ryan. That necklace is a symbol of your love." She retorted, as a new set of tears her eyes.

She walks away from us and was looking around for her necklace desperately. Her back was shaking, indicating her cries.

"We will help you both find the necklace." Stated Mia determined, tieing her hair into a high ponytail. As if she's going on a mission.

"I agree with you, Mia." Said Harry, folding his sleeves up to his arms, making his biceps appear.

All three of them walks in different direction in search of Sarah's necklace. Leaving me and Ryan alone. Only if they knew that they wouldn't be able to search the necklace. Because it was already with me. I found it the previous night when I leave our apartment to take a walk. The necklace was right outside Sarah and Ryan room.

My hand involuntarily went to my right jeans picket where the necklace was. I bit my lip contemplating, whether to give it Sarah or throw it away. Why would she need this, when she had Ryan by her side?

I look at Ryan standing in front of me through my eyelashes. Wasn't he was the one who gave me immense pain by toying with my feelings. I can do the same with the girl he love, can't I? But that girl was my best friend too. Who is practically my sister.

Ryan was staring at me. His eyes were searching something in my eyes, which I was unaware of.

Clearing my throat, to grab his attention.

"Ryan, I want to ask you something." I declared, taking him by surprise.

"I don't think it's the right time for that." He replied, stepping back.

But before he could leave, I grip his wrist tightly. In this moment, I don't care, if anyone saw us. Because I wanted to know something.

His eyes went towards his wrist where my hand was and then my eyes. For a split moment, I think I saw the Ryan who I knew. Who bought me chocolates and strawberry during my period. The one who confessed his feelings for me.

"When you back said, you had feelings for me, was it true?" I asked taking a step towards him.

Just then a strong wind passes, making a strand of my hairs came across my eyes. His hand came towards my hair to put my hair beside my ear. Realising this, his hand froze midway.

"It was true. I did had feelings for you. But I don't think that matter now." He said freeing his wrist from me and looking away.

"Than why bother saving me?" I hissed through my clenched teeth.

"You should had let me die there in the swimming pool." My eyes went towards his hand which was clenched in a fist, at hearing what I said just now.

"My mother taught me well. If it was someone else's, I would had done the same thing." He said, once again slicing my heart into pieces. I took a step back, my body was shaking in agony. Tears started shimmering in my eyes.

"Your mom definitely taught you well. I mean you are a pro at making a girl life hell." I growled lowly, as tears ran down my cheeks.

I pull out the necklace from my jeans pocket, and throw it towards him. Without giving him a second glance, I walked towards the hotel, to my apartment.

With only one thought in my mind, I need to be away from him. I decided I will not stay in the same country as him. Besides, what he had given me beside heartaches and tears.
