The Fool's

You're The Best Thing I Have Ever Waited For

Ara wakes up in the morning with a drunken headache she made herself last night, remembering what happened 3 years ago when the man was now her boss. Kim Jae Hwan, give me a memory. His stomach was nauseated uncontrollably making him run to the bathroom in a hurry and spill it in the sink where he used to clean himself.

He looked at his chaotic face in the mirror, there was a black circle around his eyes also swollen from tears that would not stop. He can't come to the office with a face like this. Damnit.

He returned to bed staring at the room around which was as messy as a pigsty. Well, he's like a pig. His phone was even still lying on the sofa near the cans - countless beer cans. Ara picked it up, pressed a button and waited for her tone to ring when she stuck it in her ear.

"Kang Sol-ah I'm sorry, I couldn't get to the office this morning."

The girl said a few sentences and then hung up after saying thank you. He took a breath before finally dropping himself back on the bed, supinely staring at the sky - the plain sky of his room. His mind was empty it seemed like he wasn't really there.

Ara massaged her aching head, she did not want to wake up today. He didn't want to see anyone this time. But his phone did not want to stop vibrating, making him very forced to do something on the object reluctantly Ara grabbed him to press the answer button without seeing who the caller was.

"We need to talk!"

The person across the phone didn't even say a greeting, Ara recognized the voice even if only her breath sounds could recognize her. Idiotically.

Ara turned off her phone without answering anything, her energy drained just by talking to Kang Sol earlier. His phone shook continuously again, Ara even almost threw it if she could not remember how important it was.

"We meet tomorrow, let today be spent on myself. You can do it!"

Ara replied after throwing her breath rudely, the man was really stubborn. The girl did not wait for an answer she immediately turned off her phone but her phone shook again. Oh my goodness, really testing his patience.

He looked at the screen of his phone first this time, his forehead wrinkled 'calvin' he then raised it and said his greetings

"Ara ssi, what's wrong with you?"

Ara frowned before Calvin continued his words.

"you scolded me earlier and what did you say, meet tomorrow?"

Ahh shit, stupid Ara. He bit his lips.

"Ahh I'm sorry, I didn't confirm it was your number before."

Calvin smiled, Ara can hear it faintly.

"I just want to make sure you're okay, Kang Sol told me you didn't get in because you were sick."

"Ahh Kang Sol ssi, I think I got him a lot of work today. Can you take her to lunch? He must be lonely."

"Of course."

"Ahh gomawoyo Calvin ssi, he must be very happy."

Ara smiled involuntarily and then turned off her phone.

Not long after, it shook again. Ara this time checked the name listed there before answering 'Kim Sajangnim', okay Ara just needs to answer like that without hearing the answer but just now she will open her mouth the man has already preceded.

What is this, the man can read his mind or indeed coincidentally, Ara even lost the words he had assembled earlier in the blink of an eye.

**

The next day at a tavern, Ara had no choice but to meet the man who kept insisting on bothering her. Not a restaurant or cafe, Ara chose that place because it felt like that he was not Jae Hwan.

The chat was not also started even though the soft strains of Lee Hi song flowed almost over also the bustle of a fairly crowded store, both of which remained silent. Or just Ara? Because the man did not stop blabbering began by discussing memories that had fed up Ara rasai all night and then smiled to himself when the memory of sweet things passed. Ara was stunned, was that how they used to be? I don't know, all that's left in his heart is a feeling of disappointment. Especially when the woman appeared, brazenly broke Ara's heart without aba - aba.

"You know what's more painful than just hating?"

The girl cuts off the chatter even when Jae Hwan is not done yet. The man took a breath but his eyes still looked at the girl, the girl who then turned her face wrong.

"Loved!"

Ara looked back at Jae Hwan as if he was putting down such a great sin, like a judgment for a man whose shoulder was now slumped. He knows very well. The answer was stark, Jae Hwan could not argue.

The waiter delivered 2 bowls of eomuk with steam that still steamed a plate full of kimbap with colorful vegetables tempting to taste as well as a bottle of soju that does not taste for Ara touch, which is not good for you, the man before her knew very well Ara's taste without even having to ask. His hands folded on his chest this time he wanted to look at Jae Hwan as if to convey his heart through the view.

"You know I spent 3 years feeling sorry for myself, I should have realized when my heart only beats when it's with you like fate."

"I don't want to force you to remember the beautiful things I never forget, because when you remember them you will also remember how I destroyed each part of them."

"But Ara-ya, I want to start over. I want you to remember me today not 3 years ago."

Jae Hwan took a breath, this was a form of compromise that he spoke so softly.

Ara did not respond, she leaned herself on the back of the wooden chair breathing in while looking up at the worn-out sky. Ara knew how stubborn the man in front of her was and now she was struggling with her own thoughts because it could not be denied the biggest part of her wanted to return even though her self-esteem was difficult to prepare.

"Give me a month, I'll make you love me again."

"This is not a suggestion, but an order. I won't compromise anymore you just need to prepare yourself!"

Ara's forehead wrinkled, the man looked so serious. He had no choice but to comply with his request.

"Geurae, one month. I'll make sure you give up!"

Jae Hwan smiled, he was unable to cover up his excitement when the woman finally gave up on his stubbornness.

"You don't want soju?"

Jae Hwan was suddenly cheerful and opened the lid of the green bottle, Ara smiled as if the man before her had changed just because of one answer from her.

"Kull!"
