All My Heart's
Episode 14
“So, this is from Yong Hwa?” ask Jin Ho.
While receiving the yellow enveloped letter that Jin Ho had read as well as the small box containing the necklace, In Hyeong nodded her head. The two were silent for a moment, only to hear the sound of the milkshake that In Hyeong sucked and filled the balcony where they were sitting that night. For a while, Jin Ho looked at him before then turning his gaze to the star-filled night sky.
“So, what's your answer?” ask Jin Ho.
“Ha?” In Hyeong instead looked like a confused person and looked at Jin Ho who was still staring up at the sky, “what do you mean?”
Jin Ho looked up and looked at In Hyeong who looked like a fool.
“You know, right, Yong Hwa likes you?”
“What? Yong, Yong Hwa likes me?” in Hyeong shouted in disbelief.
“Hey, ka, you don't understand what Yong Hwa's letter means?”
Sontak In Hyeong shook his head quickly and made Jin Ho even more shocked.
“Yes God, Cha In Hyeong, you are the best graduate of Busan High School. Yong Hwa wants you to be his girlfriend?”
“Ha? A boyfriend? I did not find the word girlfriend in Yong Hwa's sentence in the letter,” said In Hyeong wonder.
There was a loud cry from Jin Ho who seemed to be trying to hold back his sense of regret.
“You remember the sentence, “I'm the star expecting you”?”
Immediately, In Hyeong nodded excitedly.
“That sentence signifies he wants you to be his girlfriend. She expressed her feelings for you through that sentence.”
“Ha? Oh,” sahut In Hyeong Flat.
“Hey, Cha In Hyeong, I'm serious!” yell Jin Ho.
“I also.”
“KAU? Aish... sucks!”
Looking at Jin Ho who was getting annoyed, In Hyeong could still relax and continue drinking his milkshake. Again, Jin Ho sighed before finally, looking back at the sky.
“So, you don't want to be Yong Hwa's girlfriend?”
“No.”
“But at the time you said you liked him?”
“I originally liked. But, after remembering she had dated Min Ah, I had no interest anymore. At that time I did not reprimand Min Ah for feeling betrayed by her because she once said, if she wants to be Yong Hae's girlfriend, instead of Yong Hwa,” explained In Hyeong as he bowed lethargic.
For a moment Jin Ho looked at In Hyeong before then snatching his milkshake.
“Hei!” in Hyeong shouted in annoyance.
“What? You mind? This milkshake is also me who bought it.”
Hearing his statement, In Hyeong could only frown and correct his position and look up at the sky.
“What now are you still mad at Min Ah?”
“Not too.”
“If you really don't want to be Yong Hwa's girlfriend, you better give me that answer now or you can think again before actually rejecting it. Who knows you still have feelings for him.”
After hearing her explanation, In Hyeong only sighed while leaning on her shoulder. For a moment Jin Ho looked at him who had been cursing and looked tired.
“I'm confused,” said In Hyeong slowly, “Joon Jin Ho, have you never liked someone? Have you never felt affection for someone?” he added.
Hearing In Hyeong's question, he suddenly choked and looked extremely shocked.
“What? Uhuk, uhuk, uhuk, uhuk.”
“Are you okay?”
No answer came out of Jin Ho's mouth after thrusting his milkshake at In Hyeong and rushing to the toilet.
“What is my question wrong?” in Hyeong asked in surprise.
A moment later, In Hyeong returned to correct his position and looked at the sky while sucking up his milkshake. Meanwhile, Jin Ho almost vomited because he could not hold back his cough.
He spat into the sink, turned his faucet and gargled. After taking out his slurry of water, he turned off the faucet and looked at himself in the mirror while wiping his lips with the back of his hand.
“Hah! Huh! Joon Jin Ho, you're a stupid, cowardly man.”
Satisfied with cursing himself, Jin Ho again opened the faucet and washed his face. And long enough until finally he turned the doorknob of the toilet…
“Huaaaaaa..”
Suddenly, he heard a scream that immediately sat on the floor when he saw In Hyeong who was wearing a small towel on the head and touched his face from below while grinning.
“Hahahahahaha.
Instantly, In Hyeong's laughter filled the second floor of his house. Meanwhile, Jin Ho could only snort angrily before then standing up while staring intently at In Hyeong. Feeling that he had made a mistake, In Hyeong took a careful step back before finally surprising Jin Ho by running and jumping over the sofa in the room.
“Ahahahahaha..”
In Hyeong's laughter filled the room again when Jin Ho felt increasingly upset about not being able to catch him. Until he jumped up and down on a chair near the balcony railing and the same incident almost repeated if Jin Ho did not rush to grab his hand.
“Hah! Huh! Huh!”
A moment only heard the sound of Jin Ho's irregular breathing, his hands seemed to tremble. Jin Ho's heart was pounding, his mind was chaotic with a pale face and the fear that enveloped made him hug In Hyeong so tightly.
“Ja, don't fall from a high place like this when I'm not below to be your mattress.“
The same fear made In Hyeong only able to nod while gulping a strong saliva.
“In Hyeong..”.
Hearing the screams they knew, the two pushed each other and distanced themselves.
“Joo, Joo Yeon!” in Hyeong cried nervously.
At first glance he glanced at Jin Ho who could only be bowed while massaging his nape.
“What's up? You guys look nervous? What have you done?” joo Yeon asked as she pointed at them with a probing look.
“Mm... Jin Ho, isn't it already night? Don't you want to go home now?” in Hyeong asked meaningfully.
“Oh, yes!” exclaim Jin Ho who immediately understood the meaning of the question, “then I go home first. Joo Yeon, good night,”
go awayl.
Meanwhile, Joo Yeon still with a look of wonder looked towards In Hyeong who was smiling strangely at her.
“Actually what happened? You and Joon Jin Ho?”
“Hah? Me and him? There's nothing. Come on, I'll show you a new novel. Fast.”
“Ta, ta, but, Jin, Jin.
Joo Yeon continued to point at Jin Ho who was no longer visible because he was still so curious.
“Come, fast, fast,” In Hyeong said as she forced Joo Yeon into her room.
“You have to explain this to me? What did you guys do before I came?”
“No. Nnnnope. No.”
Meanwhile, Jin Ho who was already sitting on his motorbike, was seen staring at In Hyeong's room which was so bright. Before long, he put on a helmet and ran his motorcycle leaving In Hyeong's house.
