Chapter 23

Sung Hoon leaned over his bedroom window. He saw Kyung Hee changing her clothes. Just then she glanced over and saw Sung Hoon watching her. She threw a shirt at him. “What do you think you’re doing you Peeping Tom?” He blocked her shirt. “Can you come over?” Kyung Hee looked at him. ‘He looks so sad.’ She nodded. “Okay.”

Sung Hoon pulled her across from her house and into his room. She sat down and started to look around. She never had been in Sung Hoon’s room before but he was always in hers. “Well what do you want to talk about?” Sung Hoon looked at her with sad eyes. “Umm.. is it true you’re going to the U.S. in two days?”

“Oh, you heard about it already?”

“Why didn’t you tell me?”

“Why do you care anyways?”

Sung Hoon got mad. “Why do you always assume that if there’s something involving you that I don’t care?” Sung Hoon started to confront her as she backed up into a corner. She was shocked. She never saw Sung Hoon this mad before. “Because you never seemed to care before.” Sung Hoon grabbed her wrists and held them up. “Well you know what? I do care!” He began to let her go. “It’s just that you don’t care about me enough to realize it.” He sat down on his bed.

Kyung Hee sat down next to him. “Sung Hoon.. what’s wrong?”

“Nothing.”

“Please tell me.” Sung Hoon looked at Kyung Hee. His mind kept telling him that this will be the last time he will ever see her. ‘It’s now or never.’ Sung Hoon took a deep breath and told her exactly how he felt.

“I love you.”

Kyung Hee stood up in shock. “What?!”

Sung Hoon stood up with her. “I love you.” Kyung Hee couldn’t believe her ears. “Wait.. do you know what you’re saying?” He nodded his head. “Yes and I do mean it. I love you So Kyung Hee.” She moved away from him.

“Do you know what you’re saying? I’m going to leave Korea in just two more days with Ji Won. I’m planning to be with him forever.”

Sung Hoon nodded his head sadly. “I know. I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said that.” Kyung Hee sighed in relief. “It’s okay.” But then it hit Sung Hoon. “NO!” Kyung Hee looked at him surprised. “What do you mean ‘No’”? He looked at her directly. “Why should I be sorry for saying that I love you? It’s the truth!”

Kyung Hee backed up again and then she began to cry. Sung Hoon tried to move near her to comfort her but she pushed him away. “No! After all this time you say that you love me?” He looked at her sadly.

Kyung Hee looked at him through her tears. “I’m sorry Sung Hoon. I want to be with the one I love.”

Sung Hoon looked back at her. “But do you really love him?” She paused. She thought about it and couldn’t find the answer herself. So she didn’t answer and looked away. Sung Hoon thought that was the answer. “It’s okay because if I do truly love you then all I can wish for is your happiness.” He leaned over to hold her shoulders and kissed her on the forehead. “Goodbye.”

Kyung Hee looked at him as he walked away. “Sung Hoon.. wait.”

He felt hope go through him. “Yes?”

“Is it okay if I take something of yours as a memory?”

That flicker of hope instantly died. He bowed his head down. “Go ahead. Take anything you want.” Then he left his room and Kyung Hee left too. Sung Hoon didn’t know it but his journal was gone.
