The Fool's

The Fool's
I Look At You And See The Best Of My Life



Ara blew her americano the strong aroma of coffee out from there she sipped it a little before the original taste of the coffee spread on the tongue. Bitterer. But the girl liked it because she did not like the sugar in her coffee.


While Jae Hwan prefers Macchiato which is served in a small demitasse cup that forms three layers or layers with a solid chocolate espresso in the middle and a savory milk foam in the middle upon.


"do you remember this place?"


Jae Hwan starts the conversation while Ara starts to get misbehaved then looks to the side rejecting the views of the two.


The girl rubbed her nape nervously as if this was their first date, the girl just didn't know what to do.


"Of course, and nothing has changed, only you and I are no longer together."


said Ara firmly


Jae Hwan thinks of taking him there to their past to make Ara remember the good thing about him even though he forgot his initial concept was to make a new sheet.


"I know you well, I want you to enjoy every memory I present, let me enter once more. Eung!"


Again it was a form of compromise from him, he did not want Ara to hesitate and reject it again.


The girl was just silent, though she wanted to argue but Ara undo her intention she had promised to give the man a month, she said, and his leave next month is the right time for him to reject Jae Hwan and then avoid. Sounds like a coward, but if you continue to see him Ara is afraid he changes his mind.


"remember this place only from today, when I drink macchiato and you americano. I want you to forget who's been waiting for you for hours."


It was like a fact that slapped Ara and instead of her going to blow even more clearly in the memory, she blinked her eyes trying to focus on her now.


"how do you remember the past what brings your feelings back to me?"


the man's gaze was so intensely looking for an answer from Ara's bead eyes.


Ara tried to strengthen herself to what extent she had stepped and she would be fine even without the man.


"how long will we sit here, my stomach is hungry and I can't fill it with bread or cake."


"can't you be romantic for a second?"


Jae Hwan looks irritated but Ara pretends not to care


" no (no)!"


The girl got up after gulping down her coffee ahead of Jae Hwan's step in haste, she just didn't want the chatter to continue because it seemed like she was going to lose by a landslide. While Jae Hwan endured his agony by throwing a rough breath he had no choice but to tail the girl.


The two walked for a while from the cafe entering a small alley and climbing the stairs are not small while Jae Hwan's car parked far below and then arrived at a road that can actually be passed by a vehicle if he did not leave her there, his breath stinged he rested on his knees for a while before following Ara's steps again. The girl deserves a thumbs up for using high heels but not complaining tired like her .


Ara rushes she doesn't care about Jae Hwan behind her who is holding on to the wall like an old man. He has not exercised for a long time and it feels very painful in the cold weather.


"Yeah, did you do it on purpose?"


"Malldo andwe (impossible)."


"you said your lunch hour would be over..."


"keundae (but), you're wasting time."


Jae Hwan managed his wheezing breath while Ara just went to his waist while smiling obliquely,


The two apparently stand in front of a classic restaurant with a sliding wooden door, smelling a seductive savory aroma from the inside making Jae Hwan involuntarily sniff. Ara smiled looking at her behavior.


The restaurant was simple, with wood as the main furniture as well as some medium-sized jars with beautiful carvings near the entrance. This time Jae Hwan does not protest he follows Ara happily even almost impatiently.


The two sat on an empty seat in the corner by the window, the cold air from there came in but Ara let her raise her right hand made a male servant approach and take note of Ara's order, not long until two large bowls of sundubu jjigae (spicy silk tofu soup) come, the main raw materials of sundubu jjigae are silk tofu, minced pork, shellfish, eggs and kimchi. Even so, there are also those who use seafood and shellfish. Everything is served in a red sauce that is spicy, savory and thick making Jae Hwan swallow.


He took a spoon and put a big mouthful into his mouth to taste the spicy and soft silk tofu on the tongue, a perfect blend.


"Big Daebak!!"


Jae Hwan couldn't cover up his admiration for the taste he just got, he pointed his thumb at Ara making the girl smile. Again.


"of course, this restaurant has been making sundubu jjigae for more than 20 years."


"how did you find this place?"


Jae Hwan asked while putting another big mouthful into his mouth.


Suddenly Ara stopped her eating, leaned her body on the chair and breathed a look at the man who was still busy with his food.


"you know when I started to stress my appetite was increasing, I went to many places recommended by google and friends."


"have you ever been stressed?"


Jae Hwan looked at Ara with an unfamiliar expression.


"Aigoo... aigoo.. Do you think it's because of whom I'm under stress?"


The girl then continues to eat but now Jae Hwan is the one who is sculpting, because it seems like what Ara means is himself.


"you only come to college once after we break up, sometimes with a face full of wounds and you even call at the police station after that we don't even see each other again."


"you know seeing you being so broken made my heart hurt as well, but I can't get close anymore.I don't want to get hurt either!"


Ara's eyes glazed over as she said how humiliating Jae Hwan used to be.


"Yaaa, this soup is too spicy to make my eyes water!"


He shrinks his eyes and nose with a tissue while smiling acting like Jae Hwan would be easily fooled.


"spend your food, we have to go back to the office!"


"heol, did you set me up?"


Jae Hwan snorted


"we're not in the context of superiors and subordinates, so I'm setting this up."


"ne, ne, ne."


Jae Hwan grumbled but finally smiled. Ara is still Ara. The girl who can still act silly under any circumstances, the girl whose laughter is contagious, the girl who makes her unable to see other women even though she is no longer his.


The girl he wants to have again.
