“I'm Not Your Destiny”

Chapter 15 - old friend

Afternoon .....

Valery opened his eyes, he felt much better than before, his body also felt lighter and relaxed, he stared at the room he occupied, this was a room that was not found for several days.

if it's been a week Valery was in America, living here makes him feel safe away from his uncle, at least he lives here can make Valery without thinking about fear when his uncle will destroy his life.

he took his cell phone not far from him, saw on the screen his phone has shown at four in the afternoon American time, on the mobile screen a lot of messages sent from college friends Valery or his high school friends.

Valery read one by one the messages that friends sent, until there was one number that was not recognized, he was curious to read the message.

Valery, this is justin, how are you?

a few days ago I was like looking at you, on a Hawaiian beach is that true?

Valery was silent, he seemed to remember who the man named Justin was, but Valery forgot the shape of his face, Valery kept trying to remember it, until Valery opened the gallery, Valery said, being photos of time in High School or college.

hands stopped the moment he saw a photo where he took a picture with one of the upperclassmen who had graduated from college, Yes it was a photo of him with Justin! the man that Valery admired so much while still in the world of college.

'how did Justin get my number? after graduation I never gave you my phone number?' valery said in confusion as he recalled his past.

Justin, he's a guy who's popular with his underclassmen, he's a very nice guy, he's always friendly with everyone, he's also very good at basketball and piano, he's a korean and english.

Valery so embarrassed to remember the past is so geeky, Valery who in college is very different from the present, used to be the thing that never let his hair unravel, the girl who always pinched two and one glasses that never separated from him, with the geeky appearance, Valery did not dare to be close to his brother Justin, he just admired the figure of Justin in silence.

Valery was confused enough to reply to what? it's the first time in being so nervous to reply to a message on a man she admired first, the second few minutes Valery's phone rings back.

Wah .... I think I saw it wrong, you are so different I got confused, you are getting beautiful ...... are you on vacation?

good news, I live in America

Valery blushed in embarrassment while reading a message from Justin, now he is very good at praising others, with Valery's hands quickly replying to Justin's message.

By : Valery

hahaha .... Brother Justin, is now good at teasing other people?

wah ... deservedly, what is the fun of living in America?

I'm working here, one more week I'm going back to Korea.

while being cool to reply to Justin's message, suddenly from the door came the sound of someone knocking on Valery's room door.

“Valery? are you awake?” said Woojin

“Valery? did you hear me?” ask Woojin.

or else Valery had to open the door to the room, but his leg was hurting?

“Yes, I'm awake! what do you want to say?”

“you should take your medicine? I've prepared porridge for you, can I come in?”

“Ya”

after hearing Valery's reply, Woojin opened the door to the room which was indeed unlocked, he walked up to Valery while carrying the porridge in his hand.

“sorry if it tastes bad, it's because I just made it” said Woojin, he gave a tray to Valery.

“all right, I'll leave you, if there's something just say it, I'll come back later when you're done eating, how's your leg?”

“thanks, leg still hurts to move”

the sound of the incoming message ringing came from Valery's phone again, Valery who just wanted to try Woojin's homemade porridge, decided to reply to the message first and just continue eating it.

oh ... You're at work, I thought you were on vacation with your lover ....

I'm just complimenting you, I'm not good at flirting with others ....

it's quite nice to stay here, next time stop by my cafe not far from the coast of Hawaii - Justin

By : Valery

all right, I'll stop by the cafe, tell me your address

I envy you ...

By : Justin

I'll send it, nice to talk to you, next time we have to meet ...

see you soon ...

Valery did not reply to Justin's last message, knowing he was busy, so Valery decided to do some delayed eating.

one mouthful went into Valery's mouth, the first taste of which was a very unpleasant bland taste in his mouth, Valery wanted to finish his meal but he could not bear to think about Woojin who how difficult it is to make porridge.

So Valery decided to eat a few spoons of the porridge, and after that he took the medicine that had been provided in the tray, quite a lot of capsules to drink.

after finishing when Valery wanted to get off his bed to clean himself, suddenly his legs felt so painful when stepping, like Valery wound if his legs were sore.

“akh .. my feet”

Soojin, who was in the living room, was surprised to hear a scream coming from Valery's room, and quickly rushed to Valery's room.

when Woojin is given a view where Valery is lying on the floor.

“do I already say! if you need anything, call me? what's the difficulty in calling me?”

Woojin lifts Valery up, puts him on the bed, then looks at him with a cold gaze.

“I just forgot, if my foot is hurting”

suddenly Woojin pulls Valery's right leg, trying to check the condition of his sprained leg.

“ini will probably hurt”

I don't know what Woojin did to Valery's leg.

“akh .. ailing” says Valery who moans in pain.

“try to stand” Woojin said.

hands help Valery to get up slowly, trying to make sure Valery's feet don't hurt anymore or still hurt.

“how?” Woojin asked.

“Wah .. You are great, my feet no longer hurt, thank you”

valery hugs Woojin's body, it happens reflexively, and Woojin can only be silent as Valery hugs her to the point of jumping around.

“Valery, be careful your legs can dislocate again” said Woojin, the man released his embrace.

“maaf”

with a face that felt embarrassed Valery lowered his gaze, how could he do that. The atmosphere became awkward, both of them just fell silent and turned their eyes to each other.

“like I have to order dinner for us”
