Flowers In Summer, Trouvaille 2
Sweet Memories Section
Not wanting to be disturbed, Mark chose to wear a headsead and play music from his phone while waiting for the lecturer to enter the class.

"Mark doesn't want to have lunch together?" anna asked the man.
...
without speaking Mark passed, leaving Annasya who just bent her face.
"You why the hell? what am I wrong?" anna looked at Mark's back.
"Anna.. Lunch yuk." take Min Ho while patting the girl on the shoulder.
Mark glanced over from a distance, watching Min Ho and Anna as they spoke before moving out of his seat.
"Of course they'll have lunch" Mark murmured inwardly as he walked away from his lookout.
\*
"Mark.I'm sorry." said Anna, trailing behind the man.
...
Mark just nodded as he walked away from Anna.
"Mark, please don't be quiet. By the way Mark." pinta Anna. The girl began to fret realizing that it had been a semester Mark had silenced her.
"Don't follow me." replied Mark coldly.
Mark's words were enough to make Anna riveted and frozen. The girl stood on the spot and let Mark pass.
"You why? What am I wrong?" anna asked softly as she looked at Mark's back which was getting further away.
\*
"Mark, are you going home? Wait for me." call Anna. Half-run the girl chased after Mark.
Being a shameless girl, that was what Anna had done for this entire year. Every day he would greet Mark, asking this question, even though often Mark was just silent as if he did not see his presence and hear his voice.
"You're going home early?" ask Anna.
....
"I'm going to go play with Min Ho. If you want to participate, join in." said Anna again, still ignoring Mark's silent actions.
....
"Mark, what am I wrong?"
....
"Mark I'm sorry." Anna's hand has now pulled the end of Mark's backpack.
"Anna, don't you have any activity? Have a lot of free time?" Mark turned around and yelled at Anna.
"Don't get mad." Anna put on a hard face, tried to melt Mark's heart.
"Go home. Don't follow behind me." replied Mark coldly as he passed leaving Anna still riveted.
"Are you mad because I haven't paid your money?" ask Anna more of herself.
He recalled that at the beginning of the third semester, Mark had helped him pay the school administration worth 10 million in rupiah. At that time Anna's mother was hospitalized because of illness, so Anna had to return to Indonesia, while her savings were only enough for school administration costs. Mark offered to help.
With a very sad heart, Anna left the place and chose to return to the dormitory.

"Mark, you can abuse me, but don't ignore me. It's been two years, Mark, how long are you gonna stop talking to me?" anna asked still following Mark as usual.
Well, it's been two years that he's been raving about Mark, and the guy's always been ignoring him.
"At least if you're angry, tell me what I'm doing wrong" Anna asked.
....
"After a year we'll be apart, I just don't want us to part with bad memories. Your silence makes me feel guilty, Mark. Should I remember this guilt forever?"
....
Mark was just silent as he stepped towards the campus parking lot.
"I'm sorry, at least I'm sorry. Wherever you are to me you are still a friend. You can protest and get angry at me, but stop ignoring me. Please.."
"I'll forgive you tomorrow" Mark said as he got into his car.
\*
Tomorrow morning.
"I don't want to." Mark replied as he pulled the book out of his bag.
"Well, you answered me. Have you forgiven me?"
....
Mark was silent and chose to be busy with the book on his desk.
"If I may know, what is the reason for your anger? At least by knowing my mistake, I can change for the better." Anna put her head on Mark's desk.
"Just ask me about my food, my drink, my duties, my health, don't do such things." Mark gave in to Anna's persistence.
"Why?"
"Because friends shouldn't ask such things."
"Oh. thanks Mark."
"And one more.."
"There again?" asked Anna curiously.
"Don't thank or apologize. Friends don't need those words. Thanks and apologies just make it awkward." Mark's sentence stopped when the lecturer arrived in the classroom.
"Don't thank and apologize? Making awkward? Why do I feel weird?" anna murmured in her heart.
Mark looked at Anna who was sitting not far from him, the girl did not pay attention to the lecturer's explanation. I was busy thinking about Mark's words. The man smiled warmly, enjoying Annasya's bewildered face.

Korea, 2020 (Now**)
tock.tok.. The knock on the door rattled Mark from his daydream.
"Now.."
Mark looked towards the door that opened a few seconds later, and raised the figure of the secretary.
"Sir, I just want to remind you that you have a meeting at 16:00. You have to leave at 15:00 from our office." said the secretary.
"alright. Thank you, Miss Kim."
The door closed again, bringing the secretary's figure away from Mark's sight.
Mark looked down once more to look at the photo in his desk drawer.
"Annasya, are you okay? May you always be happy." Mark smiled meaningfully.
The sweet memories of Annasya this afternoon made her feel excited. But it was only for a moment, the look on his face changed as another flash of memory swirled in Mark's head.
With my eyes and a sad face, Mark got up from his chair. But suddenly his gaze was fixed on a picture figura on his desk.
The photo frames her smile with Joelin, Si An, Mickey and Bill.
"How are you guys?" mark asked in the photo.
"Annasya I also have another friend who is from Indonesia. Looks like you did swear to me not to be able to forget you." Mark said softly in his heart as he looked up at the sky from the glass window in his office.

Soekarno Hatta Airport, 2020 (Now)
Angel pulled her suitcase violently. The girl was very upset, when she heard that her flight in Korea had to be accelerated to this day.
"They're unprofessional, you know I'm very upset." Angel scolded.
.....
"You know? Fortunately, I always provide a suitcase with certain clothes in the apartment. If not, it would all be very troublesome. It sucks." said Angel again while wagging her hair.
...
"Don't smile, you can't make me angry." Angel smiled at that figure.
A few meters behind Angel's back, Jack looked at the girl with a sad look. Jack's grief is not just that Angel is going to Korea. Jack realized there was something strange about his best friend. He had seen Angel talk like that several times.
"Whatever An. you're free to do whatever you want to do don't hurt yourself." said Jack listlessly looked at the body of the girl he loved walking away.

International airport in Seoul, Korea (now).
Angel pulled her suitcase casually leaving the immigration area. Finally the girl landed in Korea after a flight for several hours.
"You know, I'm the laziest landing night. Today is so annoying. If you smile again." Angel smiled warmly.
He circulated his eyes throughout the airport area, as soon as a sense of loss approached his chest. Makes the girl feel tight. The figure who was there to listen to his chatter has now gone somewhere.
"It turns out you didn't pick me up anymore" Angel muttered inwardly as she stepped out of the airport.
There was a pain now lodged in his chest.
