I'm Just a Substitute Doll

A Month Later

26 December..

As usual, he sat on the garden swing. It's been over a month. But there is no sign of Sean coming back. For a month or so he did not contact Yelena.

Vivian and Aiden who a week ago had returned, three days ago they both stayed at the house to accompany Yelena. But now he is lonely again.

Yohan hasn't contacted him either. He let out a long sigh, then leaned his body backwards by holding on to the swing iron. He looked at the clear sky above. It then closed its eyes, sensing every gust of wind that passed through it.

But suddenly it became dark. The light that hit his face disappeared. Is the cloud starting to appear? his inner. He opened his eyes, and how shocked he was when a pair of eyes were before him.

"Aw~ hurts Yelena.."

Yes, the shocked Yelena suddenly stood up and hit the head of the person who suddenly appeared without a sound from behind it.

"Yohan!"

"Why did you suddenly appear!? from behind and without a sound!" protest back Yelena.

Yohan just smiled looking at Yelena who kept nagging. Then walk closer, and embrace her.

"I miss you." whispered.

Yelena was silent. His embrace felt comfortable, as if his body had been used and familiarized by the embrace. He was reluctant to take off that comfortable hug.

Unknowingly Yelena buried her face in Yohan's chest. As if to vent all his fatigue.

"A few months ago, in the park. You thrashed when I hugged, and said if you didn't know me." Yohan said.

Yelena opened her eyes. He was beginning to realize his actions at this moment. Soon she withdraws from Yohan.

"You can lean back even longer." said Yohan patting her chest while chuckling.

Yelena slapped the chest of Yohan's field, then turned away in embarrassment.

"Yes, he said he was only gone for a month. But it's been over a month" he replied.

"Then we have to take advantage of this short time before he comes back" Yohan said.

Yelena looked at Yohan for a long time, then nodded after a while. Yohan heaved a sigh of relief, then sat berserk in the grass of the garden.

"There's one place we have to go. But the place is far from here.." Yohan started to open up.

"No problem, as long as my memory can quickly return!" answer Yelena with confidence.

Yohan smiled wryly.

"You sure? aren't you afraid of being disappointed after your memory returns?"

"What if it turns out it's hurting you even more?"

"What if it turns out.." Yohan stopped her words when she saw Yelena frowning.

"But you don't have to worry. If something bad happens, I'll be your shield." he continued.

He had heard many such words. But this time it was different. He felt confident in Yohan's words. He's not worried.

It was different from when those people said it. Worry enveloped his heart. Anxiety. As if something bad was going to happen.

Yelena smiled faintly and nodded confidently.

"I believe you, Yohan." he muttered.

Yohan was stunned to hear that remark. He turned his face and laughed in disbelief. After a long time he did not hear the words from Yelena's mouth.

And at this moment, even though Yelena did not remember it, that sentence was still able to be spoken. The atmosphere seemed to carry him in the past.

"Tomorrow morning I'll pick you up. We will go to that place." said Yohan who answered a nod by Yelena.
