Korean Story Set

first snow in december

Love will never forget each other, but love is not a memory that becomes a memory, that is what is now in the mind of Park Rin Rin, not because she wants to forget her past but rather the girl wants to start a new page without having to live in a memory.

Rin continued walking through the streets of Daejeon city with her padded clothes and thick jacket and did not forget her earplugs and pink gloves hoping she could withstand the cold of the night in December, he continued to step through the cold of the night in eunhaengdong which is expected to snow, for Eunhaengdong like myeondong mini version because there are many clothing stores, cafes, cafes, cosmetic and food store typical Korean foot five.



Suddenly the footsteps of the girl stopped at a cafe, her face was radiant as she stared at a man her age who was sitting on the cafe bench that Rin was about to enter.

“Hai, have you waited a long time?” rin asked and sat right opposite the man.

“Lumayan, want to order what?”

“Hmm, Americano only, same as you.”

“Good.” The man replied to Rin while ordering both of their orders to waitress.

They talk as if they have known each other for a long time, Gong Gi Tae only got to know Park Rin Rin a week ago in a bookstore, it just so happened that they wanted the same book and there was only one left. Even if the book they want is only one, there is only one, but they are not selfish as a result Taejoon and Rin Rin are not fighting over the book but they give up on each other and Gi Tae has an idea what if the book is purchased by him but the book belongs to each other both of them, Rin can take it anytime. It may sound a bit silly, but soon Rin may agree as long as she thinks it's fair, that's what brings them closer in a week.

Gi Tae and Rin continue to talk by telling each other their hobbies, maybe because they have the same hobbies even they have the same taste from books, movies, music to favorite foods. Time has shown at 8 pm but they are reluctant to separate, they are like friends who have been separated for a long time and reunited because they look comfortable and do not want to stop their conversation, he said, although both of them realized that they had been chatting for quite some time.

Gi Tae looks at Rin who looks to be looking at the clock, as if the girl does not want this meeting to end just like that because of the sadness in the eyes of the girl he sees today. Not that the man did not want to end his conversation today, but the man was the same as the girl in his hole, it felt like he was not willing to separate today.

Shortly thereafter the girl's phone rang indicating that there was a phone coming in, whether it was from whom. The girl raised a call that turned out to be from her friend.

“Sorry Gi Tae, it looks like my friend called me.” Say the girl to Gi Tae. Gi Tae nodded, allowing the girl to pick up the phone first.

“Rin, where are you? It's late night.” Ask someone in conversation on Rin Rin's phone.

“I'm in caffe around Eunhaengdong, I'll be home soon.”

“Alright, I wait ya, do not go home late at night, I'm afraid to be alone at home.”

“Iya Kim EunJi bring home, soon I will go home so be patient.” Rin answered by hanging up the phone immediately.

“It looks like your roommate is waiting, you better go home now. Come on, I'll take you.” Gi Tae's advice as he moved from the bench where he sat.

“Alright, thanks.”

Gi Tae immediately opened his car door to let the girl in, but the girl's steps were held back by his hand holding the girl's hand so that the girl looked shocked.

“You don't forget tonight it's snowing?” ask the man to Rin while putting the man's scarf on Rin. Rin looks confused, he can only stare with red cheeks blushing, it looks like Rin's heart beats faster than usual so he can not breathe. “Ayo.” The man said he had invited Rin into his car after he had finished wearing a scarf for her. The man may soon catch up with Rin in the car and drive her home to Rin's house.

“What's weird?” gi Tae asks Rin who realizes the girl next to him keeps looking at him.

“Ti.ti..there is nothing.” Rin answered immediately perhaps averted his gaze.

“Did I look too handsome until you saw me like that?”

“Who?”

“Stop here only, it's my home.” Rin answered, turning the conversation while pointing to a house

“Thanks. Do you want to go in first?”

“No, thanks. Next time, it looks like it's going to snow.”

Soon the snow fell slowly on their bodies and it turned out that the man was right like a fortune teller.

“Wah, first snow of December.” Rin cried while closing his eyes by feeling the snowflakes on his hands that pierced through the gloves he was wearing.

“Rin, what are you doing?” Ask Gi Tae in wonder.

“Making a request, I always make a request when first snowing.” Rin said with her eyes still closed with her hands clenching the melted snow in her hands.

“Keep what's your request?”

“Reclaration.” Rin answered while opening her eyes and making Gi Tae curious.

“Yes, may your request be granted, I go home first. Good night.” Gi Tae said as he waved his hand walking into his car even though Gi Tae is reluctant to part today, he hopes to get closer to the girl he just met a week ago.

Gi Tae feels strange to himself, when he recovers from his illness he is never seen close to anyone even his family, but Rin the name of the girl is usually accosted, very different, very different, he is very comfortable with her and he hopes to spend time with Rin.

The man leaves from his presence although Rin still wants to share his story with him, Rin can only look at the back of the man who is slowly disappearing with his car, which looks just snowflakes falling on his body.

“So it's Gi Tae.” Excited a girl who had seen Rin with Gi Tae in the glass window of the house to Rin with a look of astonishment.

“Tadi Gi Tae right?, you guys back up again?, isn't he in Singapore?” Eun Ji kept asking, questions kept raging in her mind.

“She is just someone who looks alike.” Rin answered briefly.

“Oh, yes you have. I go in first, I want to continue my sleep back.” Said Eun Ji who seemed to be still sleepy, fortunately Eun Ji her best friend was always like that if she was sleepy or suddenly woke up from her sleep so there was no suspicion at least for today because the next day after Eun Ji woke up, Rin will surely be inundated by the questions of her best friend.

It's only natural that his best friend would wonder what happened today to Rin, especially if it was about Gong Gi Tae. For Rin, Gi Tae is not someone he just met in a week but he has known him for three years. Three years they share stories, both joy and sorrow, three years they intertwine a love story, but all of them only end in a wound. Rin still remembers how Gi Tae broke up with her, how he stayed away from her. Three years he was in a relationship but Gi Tae broke up the relationship within a day without the slightest disagreement even makes him wonder, is it possible that Gi Tae is bored with him, or Gi Tae is not serious to him, he said, all the questions keep raging messing with Rin's mind to make it stressful.

After severing his relationship with Rin, Gi Tae moves out of nowhere, not a word from Gi Tae or his family Luka continues to imprint and make him hate Gi Tae. Gi Tae's family can't stand to see Rin being so tormented that his family contacts Rin who is hospitalized because of Gi Tae's decision.

It turns out that all this time Gi Tae hid his illness, he struggled alone without telling Rin, he could not bear if Rin had to grieve because of it. The day before breaking ties, Gi Tae was diagnosed with Al-Zheimer, an acute senile illness and the only way he had to be operated on, but consequently he could not recognize anyone, he could not remember anything even Rin who had always been with him. He accidentally doesn't tell Rin, he doesn't want only Rin to remember him so he and his family keep everything secret and even move on without Rin knowing.

The operation goes well and Gi Tae lives a new life of being reborn without knowing anyone, his family even Rin. But in the end everything is destiny so Rin pretends not to know Gi Tae, her past lover. Rin will continue to remember Gi Tae, even if the man does not recognize him at all, even though the man is the one who broke off his relationship with Rin, although the man had lied to her, Rin still believed that Gi Tae's feelings for Rin were still there. Without Rin having to remind Gi Tae that Rin is a loved one of Gi Tae. Rin desperately hopes that Gi Tae will always be with her even though the memories they make will be different from before and he tries to assume that the meeting in the bookstore was Rin's first meeting with Gi Tae.

Rin stepped into her room to the glass window in her room and wrote a name on the glass with her finger. It says, Miss U, Gi Tae.

“Hopefully you can remember me even with a different memory.”
