I'm Real, I'm here

_I am here. I am real_

It's a week now and we have been together all the time. He was working again in the hospital as their resident physician. He has been dropping me off and giving me a ride whenever there are no emergencies that he needs to do. I was very happy that we were able to have more time together.

It was my day off and I was at home at that time. We were supposed to go to HongJae to visit his home town and to visit their small hotel, which was busy at that time because of a lot of travelers visiting our area aside from the foreigners. I heard the door bell ring and I opened the door immediately and saw Pyong behind the door. He brought some Gimbap and Tteokbokki as we sat down outside the porch of the small penthouse I was renting. He also brought some soju to drink. I went inside and cooked the ramen to pair the took the dish and took it outside. We started eating when I heard Cha calling in. 'Sunny!", she said.... "Oh! Unnie you're here.', I said. ' Well, I decided to visit since I have free time to relax a bit'. , "Good Thing! because we already started our food. Hahaha!', I led her to the table where Pyong and I sat on. " This is great! I have spicy chicken here too.", 'Wow! that pairs with our Soju best!".. We started finishing our food and drinking our Soju after, when Pyong asked me something' wher is Yun?", 'Oh he has an emergency in the hospital and they need a surgeon immediately. "oh, ok!". And "how is life?", 'You sounded like we are seeing each other in the office" and I laughed. I tapped his shoulders and I thought it was a big strength, so Pyong moved his body a bit and was surprised by my gesture. Cha Eunnie was startled as well or i think she didn't know how she'd respond, but she laughed as well with her cheeks pinkish. We were already tipsy because we drank a lot of Soju. We also enjoy talking and joking. That is we forget about time. Cha told me to go to sleep and she would just Pyong to clean outside. So, I just washed my body and went to my bed> I still can't sleep and I took a book that Eunnie gave me. This is a copy of the book she wrote "The Secret Love". I can't think that Eunnie could write a book like this. And I lay down and started reading. Outside, there is Pyong and Cha cleaning their mess and keeping the empty bottles of soju.

"Do you like her?" Cha asked Pyong. Pyong hesitantly answered her, "I don't know. I can even understand myself and why I am here and why am I doing all of it .'After a while he immediately added "Who wouldn't like a good person like her". He smiled sheepishly. Embarrassed by what he said and what he admitted to Cha. "I guess, I understand you about that. She is a good person and who wouldn't like her'. But you must remember that she is with someone already and they both love each other. If you decide to continue loving her it's your choice and you must know the risk, OK?' Tapping him on his shoulders and giving her his very big friendly smile. "Yaah! I know, okay?" , ' I never even planned on telling her what I felt and her I know the truth, I don't want to ruin the friendship we have." and he said" Just being at her side and a friend is already enough.' 'Well, i just think that it all starts and end there.". Pyong looked at Cha, checking her if what she was saying was advice or a threat. But she just brushed off the idea anyway. After cleaning everything, they closed the door and both went home. Riding in both of their respective cars, they left her apartment.

However, Sunny was still awake and was waiting for Yun's message or call. When she checked on the phone there is nothing. "I guess he is still busy," she told herself, and though operations usually take 3-5 hours, depending on the gravity of the situation of the patient. Maybe it's a major operation. She continued reading the book and fell asleep. She was again dreaming of the seashore, the cliff on the road going to the city from the town, his house, their hotel and the small café we used to hang out at ours, and the white beach. I always saw him there just sitting in front of the beach looking at the shore. We never thought that his family owned the place. We never had the idea that he was that well off as a kid. I went to his place where he was sitting. I saw his sad face. I asked him the reason and he told me that his father doesn't want him to study in Seoul to become a doctor, but instead, the doctor wants him to handle their business and to manage their hotel instead.

I can feel the loneliness in him and I didn't know how to comfort him at that time and I can't tell why I visited him also. I will be going back to Seoul in the next three days because summer is over. We just talked about our ambitions and dreams of the future. He even promised that he would marry me someday. I was surprised by his words but happy inside. I told him I wanted to be a lawyer and work in a firm full of lawyers. We are so happy at that moment that, though we are kids, we have our dreams planned. The has come for me to go back to Seoul and I pass by his house his house a maid told me he left very early so I just a left my letter to him with the white pin I bought in a small shop. That is what I can give him as a present before I leave. I even told the lady to tell Yun I'd be back next summer. I thanked her and said good bye. As we were travelling, we passed by a cliff, the ambulance was there and a lot of people were around the accident area. "I wonder who that was" I said to myself, and looked at it as we passed by. My mom called me and asked me to just look at the street. I smiled at myself while driving the car and I immediately forgot it. After a long trip I was really exhausted. I went straight to my room and heard a ring and my father was talking to someone.

And as I walked up the staircase I remembered Yun. If he read and got my letter. If he likes my present and what he is going through. I went to my bed and threw away my bags and left my suitcase. I jumped into my bed and rested. When I opened my eyes, I was in the town again. I saw Yun's face confused and tears falling down his cheeks. He was running and running as fast as he could. I was going to call him when a tall man wearing his trench coat was following him and trenching me while catching Yun.. Yun moved fast and ran until he tumbled on the street and he stood up again and was on his feet running again. He was already catching his breath but he didn't mind it, he just wanted to be out of the man who was trying to catch him. he went straight inside the forest and trying to find a way to hide. I followed them and I could see from the distance the man was saving Yun hanging from the cliff. He fell off the cliff while running and his hand slipped into the man's grip. It was his father who failed to save him. He was shouting his name "YUN!" "YUN!" "YUN! I AM SORRY!". I was so afraid of what I saw. I was afraid that this was not a dream, but it's true. i can't control myself and I am crying loudly as well. "Yun...." I am crying in sobs. I was so afraid and shocked at what I witnessed.. I woke up suddenly with the touch of my hair. When I opened my eyes, it was Yun. I embraced him tightly, it was like as if there was no tomorrow and he whispered "Don't worry. I am just here and I am real."
