Alice's POV
I can't process on what he told me and I've been staring at him for a while now.
"Dad no please I can't and you know Dawin will not like it either-" but he cut me off.
"So that's why you need to leave him before your Graduation and Alice, I'm not intentionally doing this but when Dawin will be the next CEO He should focus and should also not have any distraction."
I felt a pang on my chest when he say those words to me.
"Dad am I a distraction?"
"Of course not."
"Then why?"
"It's just compulsory for this type of work Alice and don't worry sometime in the future I'll find a way to make you back together with him."
"Please Alice for now spend more time with him."
"I-I'll think about it."
I can't believe on what just I said.
It's been 3 days since me and dad talk about that matter but I can't really answer him.
I can't just leave Dawin and i'm so frustrated now especially Dad always call me and ask me if I already made my decision.
I don't have any choice but to ignore his messages and call.
Dawin luckily doesn't find me suspicious for now but when he, asked me that one time when me and him are eating dinner and unfortunately dad called I just ignore the call and told Dawin that maybe the caller who called me got the wrong number and luckily He just shrugged it off.
"Hey love I'm going to the supermarket do you want to buy something?" Dawin suddenly asked me and cutting me from my thoughts.
"Oh just buy me strawberries."
"Okay love, see you later."
And now I'm back from my thoughts again.
If i leave him I know he'll get mad but on the other side dad is right if I leave him before our graduation only that time he'll be devastated and maybe in the future he can concentrate more about being the CEO in his grandpa's company.
But I'm scared, cause what if one day he'll move on from me and find a new lover.
Just by the thought of that scares me the most but I want him to succeed also in his career.
I'm really going nuts, I can't find an answer.
But maybe in the future I'll get back to him, apologize and maybe he'll forgive me.
But in my mind there's so many what if's maybe's and I'm scared.
After some time of thinking finally I made my decision.
I hope this will the right choice.
I called dad and luckily Dawin is still not home.
Ring.
" Dad?"
"Alice Finally you call me, well did you have the answer?"
I was slightly trembling and forcing my tears not to show up but it's all in vain.
"Dad I'll leave Dawin alone before our graduation, if that's will make you happy."
"Alice thank you, you make a great decisicion-"
"But in one condition," I told him while crying softly.
"Well what is it?"
"Don't let Dawin fall for other girls or boys, he's only mine and mine only do your best to accomplish that and I'll still call you no matter what."
"Well that was many but Alice I promise you, you'll get back together and this thing is just for the mean time."
"I hope so."

Alice:

Ding, dong.
This is it. Before I go to open the door I open Dawin's closet and got a notebook there i open it and insert a white envelope.
That notebook is our diary, we both write our dreams there, well for you it's childish but for us it's our future.
We promised to each other that no one will read it until the next 7 years and I know even though I will left Dawin he will never open it.
On the envelope is all the happenings that happened earlier months and weeks.
And of course, the reason why I left.
I finally open the door and greet the driver who will bring me to Busan.
Good bye Love.

I open the door and I was welcomed by silence and darkness.
"Alice, were are you?"
I open the lights and there was no traced by Alice, the living room is empty the kitchen there was no traced that Alice touched it.
I go to our room hoping maybe she was showering or sleeping but when I enter there she not there included the shower.
I started to get panic, but I tried my best to stay calm, I got my phone and try to called her.
Sorry, this number is not available at the moment.
No, it can't be.
I decided to call Lisa her best friend also my cousin.
Ring...
"What's up Dawin, why did you call?"
"Lisa is Alice in your house?"
"Well, sorry to tell my dearest cousin but no, last time she get here is 2 days ago."
"Oh okay thank you."
I quickly hung up the call, and call Alice's Mom.
But she's not with them.
I also called mom but they are not together.
I open our closet to get something but I suddenly drop my phone.
Her clothes, Her clothes it's not here my panic got worse when I run to our nightstand and open it to find Her camera but,
It's not here.
I started crying and called dad.
"Hi son"
"D-d-dad, A-A-Alice she's not here, she left me , dad please come here," I sobbed hardly and my dad didn't answer me anymore and hung up the call.
15 minutes later.
"Dawin, Dawin"
I go out in the room and saw dad there in the living room.
"D-dad."

Somewhere in Busan
There she is Alice Anderson the one Dawin loves the most, in a luxurious room crying her eyes out.
She was depressed because of what happened she can't do anything she doesn't have a time to call her own family or
Dawin's Family.
She was devastated to the core, she loves Dawin very dearly but she also wants the best for him and to make it come true she needed to sacrifice something and that something is getting away from her love, Dawin.
Back to Seoul
Dawin was always crying, his family insisted him to stay on their mansion and he hesitantly agreed to it because if he's alone he knows he'll do something crazy.
It's been two days and Dawin was all stressed, his graduation is coming over but he didn't care about it all he care now is to find Alice.
So he call some of his connections to find Alice but it's all in vain.
Days turns into weeks and now it's finally his graduation day, he was a little hopeful that he will see Alice in the graduation ceremony but no, Alice was not there and When he realize it he burst into cry and his family directly comforted him but it only helps a little because he needed Alice and only Alice.
But what they didn't notice is a girl watching them from afar also crying and also happy because Dawin already graduated but she also wishes she was there with him, hugging him, giving him kisses but no she was there but watching from afar.
I love you.
Weeks turns into months and months turns to years.
