The Fool's

The Fool's
The Please Come Back...



The two let time run without a word again, the afternoon air that blows through the window of the car makes Ara tighten the hug on her arm and then press the button on the car door so that the glasses are getting closer, so that the glass is more tight, he reached into his clutch bag again looking for something there


"you're looking for something?".


"eung. vitamins are mine".


"Vitamins?".


"Red ginseng".


Ara explained as her hands continued to search all the way to her coat pocket


"Aahh. We stop in front, you can buy it again".


Ara agreed he did not dispute the man's suggestion.


Ara and Jae Hwan return to the car after 10 minutes, buying not only his vitamins but also a shopping bag full of snacks, The man did not grumble like before when he saw Ara buying snacks that he sometimes did not eat and until they expired in the refrigerator he even looked happy that he had a nice day of arguing together the girl was about trivial things.


"Would you like to eat something warm before you go home?"


Jae Hwan offers her to stop by at a seolleongtang (cow bone soup) shop


"K**ull (agree)!"


The girl even looks enthusiastic making Jae Hwan smile. Again.


The man was indeed smiling more and more this end


The shop was crowded but fortunately they were able to get a seat, before long a waiter approached the middle-aged woman with a red apron


"two seolleongtang."


Jae Hwan orders without needing Ara to tell him again


"Ahh ahjumma (aunt) I also want kimbab and soju."


Ara smiled at Jae Hwan for adding to his order


"You can't get drunk, I don't want to see you not working tomorrow!"


"Of course, I just warmed up with a bottle. Promise!"


the girl pointed two fingers at Jae Hwan to believe him


"All right!"


An hour later, Ara had even finished 2 bottles of soju. Jae Hwan just looked at him not thinking. The girl even almost raised her hand again to order if it was not held by Jae Hwan.


Jae Hwan is also upset with the views of some men on the girl, she does wear a short skirt and must everyone admit the girl is too beautiful.


"You're right. We're going home now!"


Jae Hwan stands up from his chair and intends to help Ara get up.


"Awhile more. I want to see you in a minute".


Ara muttered, barely audible to Jae Hwan but still able to digest it well. The man was stunned, in his heart it felt like there would be hope for the girl to forget about their past. A day like that finally came.


"Ara-yes."


Jae Hwan said after a long silence looking at the girl without getting bored


"Hajima (don't)..."


"Ne?"


"I can't stand you, everything you've done to this day I can't hate you,"


"I thought I had, but I saw you again. I was wrong,"


"I just want to forget you, stay away because I can't bear to have you repeat the same thing."


His eyes glazed over, the man never saw her this way again he let her let out all those feelings so that Ara could see her as someone new.


"Ara-yeah, you want to start over?"


The girl did not reply she just looked at Jae Hwan who was sitting across from her desk, there were traces of tears on the girl's cheeks


"i didn't ask for your approval but be prepared!"


"i won't let you go again."


...****************...


Ara did not keep the promise he made and instead drunk to the point of unconsciousness is only 2 bottles only as far as Jae Hwan knows and it is more appropriate if he reaches like that.


Jae Hwan holds Ara as they get out of the car, Ara feels a slight tremor as they ride the elevator but her brain is unable to respond


The waiter greeted Jae Hwan there an ahjumma whom Ara knew smiled almost like a surprise, the girl was also faintly looking at the room he entered, she said, the room with gray paint and a king-size bed with white sheets there is a writing on the wall that is faint but not legible because the girl's view is blurred but the taste - it feels like he has ever been to that place


"you brought me here?"


Ara realized this was not her room but she knew where she was now


"eung, I won't bother you. You just take a break."


Ara did not argue, her head was dizzy and felt spinning she needed to sleep.


The girl woke up feeling better, she looked around and remembered that she had slept in the man's room last night. Their rooms first.


The same room, though, there is a 50-inch television that they usually use to watch movies while lying down and chewing snacks as well as a white dresser owned by Ara that was debated Jae Hwan because the man did not like it, he said, Ara suddenly smiled remembering him.


The sleep lamp was still the same, Ara remembered because he bought it. He looked over and was surprised by the writing on the wall that the girl knew


'love is just a word. until someone arrive's to give it meaning - Paulo Coelho'


Ara covered her face with both palms, letting her tears flow between her fingers, he sobbed as soon as all the things flashed in his mind the memories of them once all the beautiful things Ara could never forget, Ara, even Jae Hwan's mistake of making them part feels like nothing. Ara misses, she cannot lie saying that she hates the man in her heart she misses.


Jae Hwan wakes up to find Ara crying hugging his knee making the man suddenly aghast approaching his girl


"are you okay?"


Jae Hwan rubbed the top of the girl's head, pulling her closer for him to hug. Jae Hwan was a little surprised because Ara did not refuse


"mianhae (forgive me)."


Said Ara in between her cries


"gwenchanha, nado mianhaeso (it's okay, I'm sorry too)."


Ara actually knows the incident 3 years ago is not entirely the fault of Jae Hwan, the woman only took the opportunity when Jae Hwan was drunk but the girl was not mature enough to forgive, he closed his ears even as everyone explained the situation to Ara. Ara only cares about what she sees.


But now he realizes, he made the wrong decision by releasing Jae Hwan to make them destroyed in their own way


"i don't want to lose you again."


Jae Hwan further tightened his embrace on the girl


Ara then lifted her face looking at the man she had missed for the past 3 years, cupping the man's cheeks with her palms as before and who had started first had their lips fused together. There is a longing there, Jae Hwan misses her girl's soft lips after all this time.
