Meanwhile, Mickey, who has arrived home, checks his phone again. There was no reply from Joelin.
"Are you okay?" ask Mickey to yourself.
"why should I think about it?" mumbling again.
Eventually the man decided to focus on his personal activities.
\*\*\*
"Jeolins.. Joelin wakes. You're not in college today?" The straight-haired girl with the sweet face was trying to wake Joelin up.
"Gue there is no Mel class, just yes still have to go to the Lab" replied Joelin who was still reluctant to open her eyelids.
"Judah I go first ya." replied the girl again.
"Amel, are you in a hurry?" joelin asked as she opened her eyes lazily.
"Almost ten o'clock Joe, I have class in a few minutes. Yes first." Amel said as he ran away from his room and Joelin.
"DORCH!!! I'm late." exclaimed Joelin as he jumped out of bed.
After Amel, Joelin was busy. Starting from bathing, styling hair, and running towards the building of his majors without polishing a bit of powder on his face.
Joelin arrived at the door of the Lab with disordered breathing as a result of running all the way.
"Good morning guys.." greet the girl as she walks into the Lab.
"Slow again. You lazy chick." Ledek Si An's.
"Where's Mark and Mickey?" joelin asked, "gue is not feeling well since last weekend and this is still Monday, lazy ah arguing with fat people." Joelin inner.
"They disappeared because you were late." Answer Si An.
"Geez, this is a child who makes a big noise every day." - Joelin.
The girl decided to ignore Si An. Joelin took her personal agenda and put together a schedule of what she would be working on today.
A few minutes later, Mark and Mickey showed up. They seemed to be focused on their own experiments.
"Joelin, come here." call Mickey.
Feeling someone say his name, Joelin decided to pause from her activities and walked toward Mike.
"Help me take this to the bacterial culture room" Mickey said, handing him a 75% bottle of alcohol.
Joelin grabbed the bottle Mickey gave her, and followed the man into the bacterial culture room.
"What did you do last weekend?" ask Mickey.
"Just stay in the dorm." replied Joelin.
"You didn't read my message?"
"I saw it."
"Then why not give it back?"
"You went to the strawberry garden without taking me along." replied Joelin at last.
"Are you angry?" ask Mickey
"No." replied Joelin.
"Then why don't you return my message?" Mickey did not accept Joelin's answer.
"Why should I repay him?" joelin asked back. "uhukkkk.."
"You still feel pain?" ask Mickey then.
"Just dizzy and coughing." replied Joelin.
"Look off to the doctor this afternoon." take Mickey.
"We'll see." replied Joelin.
Eventually they both returned busy culturing the bacteria. And after the work in the culture room was done the two stepped back into the Lab.
"Joelin, if you don't feel comfortable rest today" Mickey said.
"No, I'm fine." Answer Joelin. Suddenly his heart warms and his cheeks are now met red, noticing Mickey's attention.
"Why is your cheek red? Do you have a fever?" Mickey put his hand on Joelin's forehead, and the action was successful in making Joelin's cheeks more blushing.
"ah. he was embarrassed." Mickey's inner self realized Joelin was taking her eyes off Mickey.
"Wait first. Why are Joelin's cheeks blushing? Why is he ashamed of me? Wasn't she getting a call from a guy? What is their relationship exactly?" murmured Mickey in heart.
"Drttt.drttt.." Mickey felt the phone in his pocket vibrate. The man then decided to check his phone.
*from: Jee Na's
"Hi Eum Son, my girlfriend. Don't forget lunch*."
"i almost forgot that he's my girlfriend now." murmured Mickey while linking his eyebrows together.
"Don't worry" Mickey replied to Jee Na's message so briefly.
In the afternoon, Mickey took Joelin to the doctor. According to the advice of the doctor for the next week Joelin should rest.
\*\*\*
It has been three months since Goedan learned of Joelin's whereabouts in Korea. Knowing the girl landed in a different country with him did not also make Goedan change even in the slightest. Even in these three months, not even Goedan tried to contact Joelin. It was not that he felt nothing at the girl. It's just, yeah that's how Goedan is. Although every day he was busy visiting Joelin social media but not once he took the initiative to contact the girl. Same thing with today. Goedan is still busy on Joelin's insta*ram page. Observe one by one Joelin posts.
"That's your death." muttered Goedan, his heart pounding violently at the picture of the girl. The man was completely overwhelmed with his feelings. Unfortunately Goedan's phone suddenly received a call, from a very familiar number in his memory.
"Goedan.hu.hu.." The voice of the woman across there was sobbing.
"Why? what's up?" goedan panicked.
"I finally graduated. hiks..hiks.." sobs the woman.
"Well, good luck." said Goedan.
"Thank you." the girl blushed in embarrassment at Goedan's words.
"You must attend my graduation ceremony." asked the girl.
"When?" ask Goedan.
"three more days." replied the girl cheerfully.
"Jeez Aluna, do you think I live across your house now?" ask Goedan.
"And your room is facing my room." replied the girl with a smile.
"Haha... Aluna, I'm sorry. China and Indonesia are not as close as our homes" Goedan said.
"I'm still expecting your presence." said Aluna.
"I know I'll work on it." Goedan answered seriously.
"Thank you Goedan." Aluna answered happily.
"sama-sama is my Alunaku." said Goedan.
After sharing the news, the two of them decided to end their conversation. Goedan returns to his job and tries to send an email to his supervising lecturer, hoping to be allowed to go home for a moment to attend Aluna's happy day.
\*\*\*
For two days Joelin stayed in the dorm. His health has improved, but considering his condition is quite drop make Joelin survive to rest a few days ahead.
Feeling bored, Joelin chose to play her phone while sleeping on the bed.
"Bang Goedan?" joelin asked, not believing what she saw.
Suddenly tears dripped down the girl's cheeks.
"So this is the reason why all this time my existence has never been realized" said Joelin.
"Dear Aluna. Thank you for your struggle, and keep fighting. I will always support you."
Joelin read the sentence posted by Goedan many times. He also looked at the photos on his phone screen. Goedan with a beautiful girl. The girl who was called my Aluna by that man.
"I stopped here bang." said Joelin, her tears still flowing down her cheeks.
Joelin wept over all her struggles. Memories back to the days when he struggled to work part time to pay for mandarin tutoring money in order to go to China following Goedan's dream.
"It turns out from the beginning, God does want to separate us." isak Joelin realized because in the end he was stranded in another country.
After weeping, Joelin fell asleep.
Meanwhile at the Lab, someone was waiting for word from Joelin.
*From: Mickey
Joelin how are you?
Already eaten?
Still sore?
Why not return my message?
Are you still sick?
Joelin...
Anybody home*?
Mickey looked at his phone. Not a single message was answered by Joelin since. It's been two hours since Mickey sent the girl a message.
"Why the hell is he?" he murmured in frustration while shuffling his own hair.
"Why Mike?" ask Si An.
"Joelin there's no news, I'm confused." Answer Mickey.
"According to my observation, you fell in love with Joelin." Mark said half a whisper as he passed away leaving the Lab.
"Can't be. I'm just in sympathy because he's sick again." Mickey's inner.
