The Fool's

The Fool's
The Reason I Can Smile...



Time shows at 8 am, ahh Jae Hwan really sleep all day but his sense of influence has not disappeared, usually, Ara will make a soup for him or just offer a reliever drink that he bought from the market. Again Ara, the girl. Just thinking about it already made Jae Hwan draw his breath tired.


Jae Hwan decides to go for a shower after opening the freezer and taking a drink and then going downstairs to work out for a while at the gym. Hannam Hill Apartment is indeed one of the most luxurious in Yongsan Gu, featuring views of the Han River and Namsan Mountain that he could enjoy from the large glass window without a partition in his living room despite deciding to live alone he still has all the luxury.


Jae Hwan is cool on the bench doing sit ups until a girl with a black sports bra comes up to him, it's not right to go to him but Jae Hwan knows the woman is approaching him and is drawing attention from him. The woman was obviously beautiful, she even had a body that could make all men fascinated. White, slim can even Jae Hwan guess his pay*dar* size 36B ahh of course he knows that size because it is not one two women who sleep with him.


But Jae Hwan is not tasteful, he is no longer the Jae Hwan who used to be, he will not let women other than Ara into his territory.


Ara, that girl again.


Jae Hwan is going crazy for him.


At 10pm, and it's summer Jae Hwan shouldn't go to the gym making him sweat even though the room has enough coolers, he returned to the bath to refresh himself under the shower thinking about what he should do to spend the day without thinking about the girl until finally at 12 noon his feet had stepped on campus. Stupid indeed, he must have met Ara there.


"YES! Kim Jae - Hwan"


someone patted him on the shoulder from behind. It was Do Hyun and Min Gyu, his best friend


"Oh".


Jae Hwan said briefly


"where were you yesterday?".


Jae Hwan did not answer he just shrugged lazily, there is Professor Kim Yoo Chul class one hour more Jae Hwan decided to enter when he usually missed it. But of course even though Jae Hwan was present instead put up his earphones without intending to listen to the Professor's material from the beginning until Ara went in there because he also had to be present in this class. Jae Hwan really looks stupid he can't take his eyes off Ara even though the girl pretended not to see him, he can't take it, for what Ara thought the man was someone she wanted to forget. And being in one room with her is another word for torture. Ara's steps get closer but Jae Hwan's tongue suddenly can't say he looked at the girl and Ara just passed by.


The girl is eager to sit next to Jae Hwan like she used to be, encouraging her to take classes and teasing her a little but that was when Ara's heart was not broken by her over and over and the latter was obviously fatal to Ara. He doesn't want to talk about it.


Class is boring. Plus he has to see Jae Hwan there even if only from behind but the corner of his eye does not switch from the man. Ara homesick. But Ara could not control her heart not to hate the man. Ara sees Jae Hwan a little messed up, though, he looks tired and black lines under his eyes but Ara tries not to care even though Ara knows in his big apartment even though he has 3 servants Jae Hwan prefers Ara who takes care of all the details.


But then again, that was before. Ara won't come back...Tonight, Jae Hwan spends it like the night before. Sitting alone with alcohol, he did not know where to go anymore or with whom his luxury apartment did not provide a sense of comfort from what he was feeling. Do Hyun and Min Gyu actually intend to accompany him but Jae Hwan refuses, he wants to be alone.


Thinking of Ara made him even more regretful.


After the bottle, though, the man ventured to call Ara counting every waiting note to sound impatiently until the girl's voice sounded just a sigh there was no greeting whatsoever as they used to do. Jae Hwan did too, but did not say anything until two minutes passed without feeling.


"What else.."


Said the girl and continued her words


"That night I also regretted, I shouldn't have gone home to your apartment or I should have stopped when I saw another woman's shoes there, too,"


"Also other women's clothes on the couch..."


"You remember, that's the couch we used to look out the window, spend time telling stories,"


"I shouldn't have waited for you to leave the room..."


"I should have gone and didn't know what..."


"should... You shouldn't have done that."


The girl cried, how could not the man she believed betrayed her so deeply whether their relationship was so shallow that the man could do so.


"I waited for you until morning, without daring to open the door of your room.I still hope it wasn't you who came out of there,"


"Wae (why) ?"


"Nega wae (why me) ?"


Jae Hwan could hear the sobs of the girl without the man noticing that she was crying, he closed his eyes with his palm, the girl's cry really hurts Jae Hwan knowing he does not deserve to be forgiven he even lost the words that he had been in the chain for forgiveness but he still wanted to hope.


"And now what?"


"You want me to forgive you?"


"Mianhae Arra yes."


Jae Hwan said slowly


"Do you think that's any good now?"


"I won't defend myself, but I really don't intend to hurt you."


Then there were no more words, Ara and Jae Hwan were sobbing, crying so bitterly. Jae Hwan is guilty and he loses his way. The woman he loved. His.


"I miss you, everything I do is tied to you."


"I have to how you can forgive me!"


"Ara yes. jebal (please)! Jebal mianhande (please forgive me) !!"


"Neomu himdeuro (this is very painful).. Jebal!!"


The phone was cut off, yet the man was still crying like a fool making those around him cuss.


"Mwo (what) ?"


He stood up and looked at the people there


"YES, YEAH! I don't care about your problems. Everyone has problems too."


"sekki (lack of mind)"


Jae Hwan said as he slammed the glass on the table making all eyes now on them


Buuuukkkkk


The man hits Jae Hwan in the face but the stupid man laughs, until the second, third and umpteenth blows land on his face, his nose was spitting out blood that was dripping continuously as well from the corners of his slightly torn lips. People started to break up but when Jae Hwan was already lying on the floor he just kept laughing whatever he was laughing at, but then tears came from the corner of his eyes the man cried. Again.


Almost the morning when he ends up at the police station with the man who hit him, the man does not stop babbling while Jae Hwan is silent. His mind is not there. He doesn't care about anything else, even the pain on his face.


"You need to go to the hospital after this. Give me a family number that can help you. I'll call!"


Said the fat-bodied police officer who put on an anxious face


Jae Hwan just kept quiet and started thinking about one name..


He wants to meet her..
