The Ultimate Soulmate's

Invitation to Old Friends

The next morning, before Junghwa left for the airport, he said goodbye to me. At that time, I was standing in front of my house, having finished my morning run in the courtyard. "Noona, I'm going to Japan now" he said, but I didn't say. Without a reaction, I still turned my back on him. Junghwa glanced at the thing in my hand, "what is it?" tanyakanya. I turned around, showing him, "Daehyun and Sooyun's wedding, "I said. Junghwa immediately turned to look at my facial expression, "looks ordinary!" thought. "Then?" he asked, curious about my reaction. "Because I've been invited, of course, I'll come" I replied casually. "Really?" ask Junghwa in disbelief. "For what?" ask again. "Again, I was unable to accompany Noona. How about.." he continued, looking worried.

"Are you worried that my arrival will be insulted?" my many. "Not so," Junghwa denied quickly. "Hey, noona, listen to me! No matter how much noona lives, in this world there must be some who do not like it. If they're busy talking about noona, just keep noona busy so they don't hear it. If they are busy mocking noona, just respond by realizing it and proving it. If they're busy laughing at noona, don't mind and keep going. And when they asked why noona was still unshakable, that was their stupidity. So, do not worry and take care of others. It's better to take care of yourself because they're not the ones who make noona happy" he continued with his sermon that always managed to amaze me.

"Junghwa," call me. "Aren't you the one who asked me to say goodbye to the past? So, I just want to finish it well" I said, smiling at him, trying to convince him. Shut up to think, Junghwa sighed. "Alright, it's up to noona. I have no right to ban noona. Noona cannot come alone! Invite someone to come with noona! Aunt Lee? Uncle Lee? Ah, looks like they won't be coming. Namgil hyung's? What about Seojun hyung? I can ask Seojun hyung to look after noona. Or should I send a bodyguard to noona?" the cerocos. "Well, I promise I'll take someone. No need for guards" I said.

"One more thing! Didn't noona say she was going to finish? So don't deny it! As long as I'm not around, don't try to remember Daehyun again. Especially when it comes to contact with him again. Arraseo?" Junghwa. "Yes, Young master Jeon Junghwa. I won't be in touch with him anymore. But how is this, huh? If it's a matter of remembering, I can't guarantee it. You know for yourself, don't you? It's hard to forget his handsome face, unless I forget the memory," I replied, deliberately upsetting him for his apprehensive reaction which I thought was adorable.

" huh? God, what kind of reason is that? Just because his face is handsome? Hey, realize, he's not the only one who's good-looking! I'm handsome too! So, just remember me!" he said very upset. I shook my head. "No, no. You're not handsome. You're a beauty!" I said, the more purposefully it made him more upset. "Beautiful? Me?" tanyanya, do not accept. "Yes, pretty! Just look at your delicate facial skin like that baby. A pair of round eyes that are adorable, but sparkling very pretty. And also your thin lips are the natural red ones. I like it so much!" my answer. I thought, this time, the baby would get angrier with my teasing. However, his reaction was far from what I expected. Junghwa directly covered his lips with a reddened face. I was stunned to see it. "Ah, it seems, I should leave now," he said, leaving clumsily.

I went straight to him, "I heard, there's a young man living here. Annyeong, long time no see, old friend!" my broom, welcoming his arrival with a smile. The man took off his helmet after parking his motorcycle in front of his house. "Old friend, you say?" he said smiling in shame. "Why is oppa so embarrassed? As far as I know, oppa is not a shy person. Or oppa did turn shy to the point of hiding here?" I said. "Calm down, not much has changed from this child" Namgil said. "No, if not much has changed, maybe you'll say it's all a lie. As you know, there's been a lot of changes going on in my life" the man said. "I told you, nothing. You're still the same, just living a new chapter in your life. Park Jiwon is still Park Jiwon" Namgil denied, smiling at Jiwon in front of us.

"Is that the best honesty? Is hyung still a grudge because hyung's cousin used to snatch Hana from hyung?" jiwon asked me and Namgil, after we asked her to accompany me to Daehyun and Sooyun's wedding party tomorrow. "Not about that!" say Namgil fast, feel bad for me. Similarly, I, who was staring back at Namgil, also felt bad for him. "If you ask me why, it's because I'm upset with her. Because he was drunk, I lost my idol. I can't just shut up for that" said a visibly upset Namgil. "If I, just want to give him a little surprise on his happy day with the arrival of his best friend," I said as well. "Ha! Old friend, now friend! You're a real braggart, Hana!" jiwon smiled at me, then said, "My heart tells you, that must be your hope, revenge this way!"

I smiled cunningly to answer him, without words. "Unfortunately, as you know, I've become a lowly person. Commoners would not be welcome at the party of those nobles!" jiwon said as she chuckled. "As usual, this noble just swiped his card for you" I said, acting presumptuous in front of him. Jiwon smiled at my behavior, "Then I will spend all your money, rich man!" his reply. Namgil who noticed our drama together said, "You guys really make me curious to see what happens next."

"All right, I'll follow your plans. But I have to ask permission to leave work first at the boss at my workplace. So, you go home first," said Jiwon, finally giving in. "Ah, I forgot that oppa is already working. I'm not feeling good about interfering with oppa's work" I said. Jiwon caught a look of pity from my eyes. "Do you know, Hana? Every moment I have experienced after moving here is the best for me. It felt like I was thirteen again, just like I did when my parents were alive. Although I feel happier like this, I still have a lot to learn because my life is still a lot to be fulfilled. So I started to work anything. So, no need to pity me," he said. "If not, I'll change my mind" he continued, threatening. "No, promise me the oppa will come tomorrow. I'll wait for oppa to shop" I said, still joking with him.
