Understanding

Sometimes I just need someone to understand me........

Merry Berry Christmas

A miraculous night

*Phone ringing*........ *1 message received*.....

I grabbed my phone and checked it. It's from my bestie. She said "Come out n look at the moon. It's so beautiful." I turned around and looked at the door. ((=.=")) The door was locked already. "Mum!!! How come you lock the door so early?" I decided not to unlock because hmmm.... y'know it's scary out there... xD Then I went into facebook homepage. I was like "Eh??? Why everyone is talking about the moon tonight? I have to see it." I took the keys and unlocked the doors. I'm not kidding! It was really scary out there.. T.T But once I saw the moon, the frightfulness seemed to be gone. That's because of the moon. It's so beautiful. It's really bright and there were a large circle light around it......

........................................... *MAKE A WISH*................................

I do believe in miracle. I make a wish upon the stars and the moon. Most of the time my wishes don't come true at all. "Why do I keep wishing then?" That's because I believe that those wishes will come true one day. Even if they take a very long long time to be granted, I will always be waiting...................

Wish won't come true if we just make it out of our thoughts without trying to make it come true with all our heart.............

You are my Endless Memory: episode 29 ""A feeling that is unable to put into words"

..............................................

After ordering, Kei sat and stared at Jumi for a second before speaking out...

"Are you tired with rehearsing?"

"Not really. It's fun though."

"But you're sweating so much."

Kei said and took out a piece of tissue to wipe the sweat from Jumi's forehead. She was very surprised. Kei looked at her surprising face and smiled without realizing someone was standing and staring straight at them from other side of the mirror window......

It's already late in the evening and the sky was getting darker and darker. Joon was standing silently alone, in front of a window, with a diamond hair clip in his hand. He was looking at Kei, who was wiping the sweat from Jumi's forehead happily, with an expression that was unable to be seen what was in his mind. At the same time, someone was standing and looking at Joon from a distance. She was holding a white handkerchief in her hand tightly. Misa kept staring at Joon's expressionless face. She was feeling hurt deep inside looking at Joon's cold eyes which were looking at Jumi and Kei. Suddenly Joon turned around and walked away with an unchanged expression but his eyes showed a feeling that he had never felt before. At that time, Misa finally realized what kind of feeling Joon had been feeling for Jumi.....

"Thanks for taking me home, Kei."

"Don't mention it. I'm the one who should be thanking you. Jumi! Thanks for today."

Jumi smiled and responded....

"That's ok. So... Um... Goodbye Kei! Be careful on your way home."

Jumi said and walked into her house. Immediately, Kei spoke out...

"Jumi! Wait!"

She turned around. Kei shyly continued....

"I... Um... I... I..."

Kei stammered. Jumi laughed a bit and responded...

"Kei! Do you have something to say? Just say it out!"

"Ah??? I... Um.... I just wanted to tell you that Um.... take care your health or you might catch a cold."

Jumi smiled faintly and replied...

"I will. You should take care your health as well."

Kei responded with a smile...

"Yeah... and... you should go in. Bye Jumi! See you at school."

"Goodbye Kei!"

As Jumi had walked into her house, Kei hit and talked to himself....

"KEI!!! You must be out of your mind!"

Jumi walked into her room and put her bag on the bed. She walked toward the mirror and looked at herself in it. Suddenly she exclaimed.....

"The hair clip?? Where is my hair clip?"

Jumi ran and grabbed her bag from her bed and poured everything out and she couldn't find it. She had been looking for it everywhere in her room. Still, she couldn't find the hair clip anywhere. She hopelessly sat on the floor and her teardrops started to fall down. A memory suddenly came into her mind, which make her tears flowing even stronger.....

7 years ago...

"Jumi! I've known you for a year today."

"Aw! Really?"

"Yeah... And I've got something for you. Give me your hand."

The girl held out her hand to him. Then the boy grabbed her hand and put something in it. She looked into her hand and saw a small star diamond hair clip. She exclaimed....

"Wow!!! It's so beautiful. Joon! How could you get this?"

The boy smiled and replied....

"I've saved up my pocket money for 3 months to get it for you."

"It means that you haven't spent money to buy anything for yourself?"

"Nahhhh... It doesn't matter. I only haven't bought anything for myself for 3 months."

The girl's face turned sad a bit. She responded...

"Joon! You shouldn't have done so much for me."

The boy smiled and responded....

"You're special to me. This is just a little thing I can do for you. I want to do everything as long as I know it's for you."....................

Next morning, Jumi walked into her classroom with an unhappy expression. Joon had been looking at her since she walked into the room until she took a seat next to him. She had been sitting silently until she accidentally touched a thing when she put her books into the desk tray. She took it out and exclaimed....

"My hair clip!!!!"

Jumi looked at it and smiled happily while Joon was staring straight at her delighted face....

Drama club after class.....

"Is everyone here?"

"Yeah teacher!"

Everyone replied. The teacher continued....

"Ok good! Well... Today is the last day of rehearsal. You can take a rest tomorrow and the day after tomorrow is the competition day. So do well everyone."

Everyone spoke out with confidence...

"Yes teacher!"

Jumi suddenly noticed that Joon had been acting different lately. He was not as cheerful as usual. More that that his eyes told her that there must have been something unhappy in his mind....

After the rehearsal, the teacher spoke out....

"Good job everyone! You can go home now. I wish you luck on the competition day."

"Thank you teacher!"

The teacher walked toward Joon and Jumi and said...

"Joon! Jumi! I want to have a word with both of you."

After everyone had already left, the teacher said to Joon and Jumi....

"You both are very great. I'm very impressed with your acting. But the only problem is that you guys seem to lack to understand the character's feeling."

Joon and Jumi looked at each other for a second. The teacher continued.....

"Joon! You seem different today. Normally your eyes contact and expression when you dance are really good. But today your expression is not as good as normal. And Jumi! I know you've been trying very hard. But the way you look at Joon is not good enough. You seem nervous and not confident when you look at him. It doesn't seem so natural. The way Aurora and prince Philip look at each other is so deep. Their feelings for each other are shown in their both eyes. I know it's hard for both of you to get into the story because it's not your real situation. But I'm sure you guys can do it."

The teacher said with a smile and left.....

After that Joon and Jumi left the drama club. Jumi had been walking behind Joon for a moment before decided to speak out....

"Joon! Are you feeling sad about something?"

Joon turned around and responded expressionlessly....

"Um... Well.... Nothing really!"

"But you look unhappy."

"Actually... I'm just feeling a little bit empty. Nothing much!"

"If there's something that makes you unhappy, just tell me. It might make you feel better."

"Jumi! I want to tell you. But this kind of feeling is really hard to put into words."

Jumi kept looking at Joon's expressionless face. Joon continued without looking back at Jumi...

"Jumi! I will be normal and this feeling will be gone after I walk down those stairs."

Jumi had been walking behind Joon and looking at his back until he walked off the stairs. Joon suddenly stopped walking and turned around. He spoke to Jumi with a happy smile....

"Jumi! Come on! It's getting dark already."

Jumi was very surprised with a quick-changing of Joon. But no matter what, she smiled back at him and responded....

"I'm coming!"

Jumi's dairy entry....

"Joon! Though there are so many things about you that have been changed. But the fact that you like to hide your true feeling is still the same. I know right here and right now, I'm not as special to you as I used to be. But I just want to be the one who make you feel better every time you're sad and unhappy. If I could, I would like to be sad instead of you."

The bell of a school rang as a signal that the school time was over. Each student walked out of their classroom. A quiet school hall suddenly turned crowded. Jumi walked toward her locker and opened it up. Immediately a piece of paper fell out. She picked it up and took a look...

(((Come to the drama club right now. I'm waiting for you. ..... Joon....)))

Jumi had been thinking for a second. She put her books into her locker and walked to the drama club. She opened the door and looked around. She couldn't help smiling seeing a tall guy in school uniform and sneakers who were walking back and forth on the stage. Suddenly Joon turned around and saw Jumi....

"Jumi! How long have you been here?"

"Um... Just a moment ago. Joon! There is no rehearsal today. Did you forget that?"

"Nahhhh.... Remember what teacher said to us yesterday? We're not good enough. So we should rehearse more. Jumi! Come up here!"

Jumi looked at Joon with curiosity. She walked up the stage as he had told her to. Joon walked toward her and grabbed her hand and put on his shoulder. Jumi spoke out out of surprising....

"Joon! What are you doing? Don't tell me we're going to rehearse the ending part."

Joon smiled and responded...

"Of course! That's the only part we're lacking. I know it's hard for you to look straight into my eyes. But I just found out a way to make you look at me without feeling awkward and nervous."

"Really? How?"

"Pretend that I am someone whom you love the most in this world."

Jumi was startled by Joon's word. He continued with a smile..

"Do it like the way princess Aurora looks at prince Phillip."

"But... Um.. How can I do it?"

"Imagine! Close your eyes and think of his face."

Jumi smiled and closed her eyes. A second later, she oped them up and danced to the song. She kept looking into Joon's eyes with a smile and without feeling awkward...

"""""I should have thought of this way long time ago. I don't have to pretend because Joon! You always be someone I love the most in this whole wide world."""""

COMPETITION DAY.....

A big stage was decorated in the middle of the school field. The judges and audiences were sitting on the chairs in front of the stage. The atmosphere was exciting and crowded.....

After hours of 1st year students' performance, the 2nd year students were feeling nervous and excited realizing it was almost their turns.....

"Wow.... Jumi! You look so pretty!!!"

"Thank you."

Jumi responded with a smile. She was standing in the girl dressing room in simple Aurora clothing and make up. The teacher spoke out....

"Where is Joon?"

The class leader replied....

"He's in the guy dressing room."

Suddenly Jumi spoke out....

"Teacher! I'm going to the restroom for a second. I'll be back soon."

"Alright... Hurry back! It's going to be our turn soon."

"Yeah teacher!"

Jumi was looking at herself in the restroom mirror. Her nose was bleeding. She had been hiding and escaping because she didn't want anyone to worry about her. She was trying to stop the blood by raising her head without realizing 3 girls were walking toward her. They covered Jumi's mouth with a handkerchief with medicine until she's hypnotized and lost conscious. They dragged Jumi quietly to an old building, without letting anyone see them....

"What are you doing to Jumi senpai?"

Someone walked toward them and spoke out. They turned around and laughed a bit. One of the girls spoke out...

"It's you. I thought it was someone else. You are that girl who has always been trying to get close to Joon, right? Do you like him?"

Misa was taken aback by what the girl had said. She continued....

"Well... Jumi is very close to Joon. Aren't you afraid that she's going to snatch him from you?"

Misa kept standing still, without any response which made the girl smiled a bit. She walked toward Misa and whispered in her ears...

"I know you’re in love with Joon and Jumi is the one who has got in your way between you and Joon, right? You better let us be if you want Joon to be yours. If Jumi is unable to perform, Joon and everyone will come to hate her and you'll get Joon."

Misa's mind went blank for a second. At the same time, Jumi, whom had been laid down in the old room, seemed to be back to her sense. The first thing she saw was Misa. Unfortunately, she was not strong enough to stand up then she lost conscious once again. After thinking for a second, Misa decided to turn around and walked away, without even caring of helping Jumi.....................

The 1st day of December (Sense of Christmas ^^)

...............................

Helloooooooooooooooooo December!!! Oh well.... I know it's too early to say this but Christmas is coming... ^^ I'm so excited. I just drove pass a book center near my house this evening and I saw a huge Christmas tree in front of there. I was like "Oh my god!!! That is so beautiful and they already do the decoration for Christmas??? It's just the start of December." After thinking for a second, I realized that just a wink, it will be Christmas day already. So it's the best to do it early like this. Since the Christmas sense is all in me now, I have been thinking of things to do and prepare for Christmas. Christmas songs! Candy! Presents! Santa! Post cards! Party!!! Awwww... I'm getting excited just thinking about it. Well.... It's still early! So enjoy your December everyone! Lots of LOVE... xoxo

You are my Endless Memory: episode 28 ""A little distance""

....................................................................

"Don't thank me. By the way I have a way to release stress when we are unhappy."

"Really? How?"

Joon smiled faintly. He walked toward Jumi and stood behind her. Jumi spoke out.....

"Joon! What are you going to do?"

"Just hold on tight."

Jumi grabbed the swing robes and held them tightly.....

"Alright! Are you ready? 3......2..........1......"

Joon counted and then swung Jumi strongly....

"Is this your way to release stress?"

"Yeah... Try closing your eyes."

Jumi closed her eyes as Joon had told her to. Joon smiled and said....

"When you do like this, it's like the wind is blowing your sadness away."

Jumi listened to Joon's words and smiled for no reason.................

Jum's diary entry....

"Can I still be close to Joon? I know I'm being selfish and stupid to ask this question but what should I do? It's just too hard trying to tell him to go away from me when my heart almost stops beating because of painfulness. Can I just do it? Can I just do this one little thing for myself this time?"

Next morning.....

Jumi was walking alone in the school hall. Accidentally, she ran into Joon who was also there.....

"Good morning Jumi!"

"Morning Joon!"

A pair of eyes was staring at them from a corner. Joon looked around and finally met those eyes. He shouted out.....

"Oh??? Hello Misa!"

Jumi turned and looked at Misa who was looking back at her and Joon expressionlessly. Without any responses, Misa turned around and walked away. Joon turned to look at Jumi whose face suddenly turn upset....

"That's ok Jumi! Don't be sad. She can't make up her mind now. Give her a little time."

Jumi looked at him and responded.....

"Alright! I'm ok with that. As long as I still believe she's going to be as normal as before one day."

Joon looked at her and smiled......

"Ok! Joon and Jumi! There are only 2 of you today since we've got to rehearse the ending part which the other casts are not needed."

The drama teacher spoke out. Joon asked....

"So, which part we're rehearsing today teacher???"

"The dancing part!!!"

"Dancing part?!?!?!?"

Jumi exclaimed out of surprising. She almost forgot that there's a dancing part in "Sleeping Beauty"......

"Yeah... You both have to dance today. Alright! Let's get on the stage."

Joon and Jumi walked up the stair and stood on the stage in drama club....

"Ok... So Joon! Put your left hand around Jumi's waist. Jumi! Put your right hand on Joon's shoulder. And Joon hold Jumi's hand with your other hand."

Teacher spoke out. They both did as teacher had told them to....

"I'll play the music now. You have to get your feeling into the song to dance beautifully."

"Yes teacher."

"Ok! 3.....2....1....."

Joon looked at Jumi and smiled. Jumi's face suddenly turned red and her heart thumped. She quickly turned to another direction. The slow music, "Once upon a dream", was played smoothly in the drama club. They started to dance along the song. Suddenly...............

"Ouch!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Oops! Joon! Are you ok? I'm so sorry!"

"I'm fine! I'm fine!"

Jumi accidentally stepped on Joon's feet hardly. She kept apologizing with guiltiness. Teacher spoke out.....

"Jumi! You have to concentrate when you dance."

"Yes! Teacher! I'm sorry."

"That's ok. Alright! Let's start again."

15 minutes later.............. 20 minutes later........... 45 minutes later..............

"Jumi! Look into Joon's eyes when you dance. Don't look at his tie or shoulder."

"I'm so sorry! I'll try to do better next time."

"Ok.... So this is all for today. You both can go home now. Make sure to come on time tomorrow."

"Yes... Goodbye teacher."

As teacher had already left, Jumi took her bag from the table near the stage. Joon looked at her and said....

"Jumi! Are you tired?"

"I'm not tired at all. I'm just a little bit guilty that I couldn't do a good job."

"Don't worry! There are quite several days left until the competition day. I'm sure you'll do a very great job."

Jumi looked at him and smiled faintly.......

They walked out of the drama club together. Joon spoke out.....

"Jumi! Let's go home together."

Jumi suddenly remembered Misa's expression this morning. She responded....

"Hmmmm... Joon! I'm sorry to say this but we should keep a little distance."

"Are you trying to tell me to go away from you again?"

"No... Joon! It's not like that. I ... I.. I just wanted to say that I can go home alone. We shouldn't be together almost all the time. You told me that one day Misa will understand but how can she understand if we keep doing things that make her misunderstands."

Joon stared at Jumi.....

"Please Joon!!! Do it for me, ok???"

Joon looked into Jumi's eyes. The eyes that making him unable to refuse.....

"Alright then! But I'll take you to the front door."

"Ok!"

Jumi smiled faintly.......

"Be careful Jumi!"

"Yes... You too! Goodbye Joon!"

"Bye!"

Joon had been looking at Jumi until he lost sight of her. Jumi walked slowly along the street. She could feel a little aching inside....

"""""This is the only way I can still watch over you without hurting Misa's feeling.""""""

Next morning, Jumi was walking alone as usual. She looked at the grass field behind the building where she had first met Misa. Immediately, she noticed a group of girls were surrounding someone. That reminded her of Misa. So she decided to take a look. What she saw from the distance really shocked her. The girl that was being surrounded was Misa. She was about to walk in and help her but having thought of the last time, she realized she wouldn't able to help at all. She was thinking of a way then she shouted out loud.....

"The guard!!! The guard is coming!"

That really works. After hearing that, those girls were startled and suddenly ran away. Jumi felt very pity for Misa whose face got beaten up hardly and her books were teared apart. Jumi walked toward her and tried to lift her up.....

"Misa! Are you ok? Let me take you to the infirmary."

"Senpai! I hate to let you see me like this. I want to stand up on my own. I don't need your help anymore."

Misa snatched her hand from Jumi's grabbing and said in tears. Jumi responded.....

"Misa! Why are you saying something like that? Though I always help you when you're in trouble, but I've never thought of you as a girl who can't stand up on your own."

"But I don't need your help. Go away from me!!!!!"

"Jumi is trying to help nicely. Why do you have to be so disrespectful???"

A guy walked in and spoke out calmly. Jumi looked at him and exclaimed.....

"Kei!!!"

"Come on Jumi! Let's get out of here. She doesn't deserve a help."

Kei said and dragged Jumi out of there....

"Kei!!! Wait....."

Without listening to Jumi, Kei kept holding Jumi's hand and walking without even looking back or realizing someone had been watching them from a distance. While Misa was sitting and crying alone on the grass field, someone walked toward her and held out his hand to lift her up......

"Kei! You shouldn't have dragged me out of there? I have to bring Misa to the infirmary."

Jumi said and was about to return to help Misa but her hand was grabbed tightly by Kei....

"Jumi! Don't go! Didn't you see the way she behaved?"

"But.... But.... She's hurt really bad."

"You shouldn't give a help to someone who doesn't want it."

Kei said and stared at Jumi's unhappy face......

At the infirmary.....

"I'm going back to class now. You can use that handkerchief and return it anytime u want. Take care yourself."

He was about to leave but Misa dissuaded.....

"Joon senpai! Wait!!"

He turned around. Misa continued....

"Thank you!"

Joon smiled and walked away. Misa took a seat on a chair in the infirmary. She was thinking back of the moment when Jumi walked toward her and tried to help her. Jumi's worrying face and words made Misa feel guilty with what she had said to Jumi......

"Ok! That's all for today. Jumi! You still couldn't look straight into Joon's eyes when you dance. Keep working on that, ok? The competition is near."

The drama spoke out after the rehearsal was over.....

"Yeah... I'll try my best. Sorry teacher!"

Jumi quickly tidied her stuffs. Joon spoke out....

"Jumi! Are you in a hurry?"

"Yeah... I think it's late evening already. I'm afraid it would be dark. I'm going home first. Good bye Joon! See you tomorrow."

"Good bye Jumi! Be careful on your way home."

A moment after Jumi had left, Joon prepared his stuffs and was about to leave. Suddenly he noticed something sparkling on the floor. He picked it up and realized it was Jumi's hair clip. As he thought Jumi wasn't very far ahead, he decided to run after her and return it to her.....

"Jumi!"

Jumi was surprised as someone called out her name when she reached the school front door. She exclaimed....

"Kei! What are you doing here?"

"I'm waiting for you."

Kei said with a sweet smile.......

"Waiting for me? Why?"

"There is an ice-cream shop, on the way to your house, which just opened. Do you want to drop by?"

"Um... But it's evening already."

"Please... please... please... Only 10 minutes... I'm going to take you home."

Jumi was a bit hesitant but she couldn't refuse Kei's begging....

"Alright then. Just 10 minutes??"

"Yeah... princess..."

Kei smiled happily.....

"Welcome to snowy ice-cream shop."

A friendly waitress walked toward Jumi and Kei and welcomed them with a smile....

"I want a table by the window."

"This way sir."

The waitress guided them to a table for 2 by the window....

After ordering, Kei sat and stared at Jumi for a second before speaking out...

"Are you tired with rehearsing?"

"Not really. It's fun though."

"But you're sweating so much."

Kei said and took out a piece of tissue to wipe the sweat from Jumi's forehead. She was very surprised. Kei looked at her surprising face and smiled without realizing.....................................

You are my Endless Memory: episode 27 ""Senpai! I don't want to see you anymore!"

..................................................................

Misa was walking alone in the school hall when someone spoke out....

"Misa!!"

She turned around and was about to run away. But her hand was grabbed...

"You've been avoiding me. Why are you doing this? Did I do something wrong? Just tell me!"

Jumi said with an upset voice. Misa turned around and responded expressionlessly......

"No! You didn't do anything wrong. I have nothing to talk to you. I'm leaving."

She said and took her hand out of Jumi's. Misa suddenly walked away, leaving Jumi alone. Jumi's mind went blank. She couldn't think of the reason why Misa was like that to her.......

Jumi walked silently into her classroom. She was sitting down on her chair when someone walked toward and stood in front of her....

"Good morning Jumi!"

Jumi lifted up her head and looked at a tall guy who was right in front of her......

"Good morning Joon!"

"What's wrong? You look unhappy!"

"I'm ok!"

Joon looked at her for a second and replied....

"The thing between you and Misa makes you unhappy, right?"

Jumi looked at her book on the table and sighed, without any responses. Joon continued....

"Have you met her today?"

"Yes... I tried talking to her. But.... She said she had nothing to talk to me and then walked away."

Suddenly the class leader walked to them and handed them some pieces of paper....

"Jumi! Joon! Here are the scripts. You guys are important roles, so don't miss the rehearsal, ok?"

"Ok!"

Joon and Jumi responded at the same time. Joon looked at Jumi who was looking at the script in her hand and reading it quietly......

Day by day, the time had been passing by very quickly. Jumi had been unhappy because Misa had been avoiding and ignoring her all the times. Beside, there's only 1 week left until the school play competition day. Each student had been trying their hard with their rehearsing....

One afternoon of January, Jumi, Joon and other students were in the laboratory. Everyone was paying attention to the teacher. But Jumi's mind didn't seem to be with her at all. She was in a disorder feeling because of the situation she had been facing recently......

"CRACK!!!!!!!"

Suddenly there was a loud broken glass sound. Everyone in the whole laboratory turned to Jumi when she said.....

"I'm so sorry! I was pretty careless. I'll clean up this mess."

Jumi sat down and picked up the pieces of glass on the floor one by one. Accidentally, her finger was cut by the broken glass and it started to bleed. But she didn't stop picking them up. She had tried to pick up the broken glasses with another hand until someone grabbed her hand and said....

"Stop doing it! You're bleeding!"

"I'm.... I'm fine!"

Joon held Jumi's tightly and spoke out....

"Excuse me teacher! I'm taking Jumi to the infirmary. I'll clean up this mess as soon as I get back."

He said and dragged Jumi out of the laboratory. Everyone suddednly turned surprised with what they had just seen and heard......

Joon got Jumi sitting on a chair in the infirmary. Then he took a seat in front of her. He cleaned her cut wound slightly. Jumi looked at him for a second and said....

"I said I'm fine. You shouldn't have dragged me here like this."

"But you were bleeding. You think it's a little problem but it might cause you a big problem later."

Jumi suddenly turned quiet. Joon casted a glance at her and smiled. He continued.....

"You seemed to be unable to concentrate during the chemistry class at all. Are you still unhappy about Misa?"

Jumi sighed and replied....

"It has been 3 weeks that she's been avoiding me. There must be a reason why. I just want to know that reason."

"Don't think too much! I guess she's going to be normal soon."

Joon said and put on a plaster on Jumi's finger. Immediately someone walked in, Jumi turned to the door and exclaimed......

"MISA!!!"

Misa stood still and looked at Joon who was holding Jumi's hand tightly. She couldn't stand seeing what was in front of her so she turned around and ran away.....

"Misa! Wait!"

Jumi shouted and ran after her....

"Misa! Stop! We have to talk!"

Misa didn't stop. More than that, she ran faster and faster. Jumi kept running after her until they reached the grass field where they had first met each other.....

"Misa! Listen to me! This is just a misunderstanding."

Misa stopped and turned around....

"Misunderstanding? Senpai! You have been lying me all along. I think I can't keep this in my mind anymore. You said your date with Kei senpai went quite well but in fact, you had been with Joon senpai."

Jumi was extremely shocked with what she just heard....

"Misa! It.... it was just a coincidence. I didn't tell you the truth because I didn't want you to misunderstand like this. There is nothing between me and Joon."

"Huh? Coincidence? Then what about those white gloves and love magic bottles?"

"Everything didn't happen as what you think. Trust me Misa!"

"I want to trust you senpai. But... But everything and what I just saw at the infirmary makes me lose all my trust in you."

"Misa! I'm so sorry. Please believe me."

Jumi's tears started to fall down. Misa looked at her and responded....

"Senpai! You don't have to apologize. I'm stupid by myself. I'm out of thinking and saying. Thank you for everything you've done for me. From now on, let's do like we never knew each other before. Senpai! I don't wanna see you anymore."

Misa spoke out with tears all over her face and ran away....

"Misa! Misa!"

Jumi was calling out for Misa....

"""""Jumi! What have you done? You are so stupid!"""""

Jumi was crying her eyes out and her hands were shaking, without even realizing that someone had been hiding behind the tree and listening to them all along.....

Jumi walked into the classroom like a person with no sense. The class was already over. Each students were about to leave. Jumi grabbed her bag on the table and left, without saying a word. Joon suddenly figured out that there must have been something happened between Jumi and Misa. He put his stuffs into his bag and followed her. He kept following her, without even saying a word until the moment when Jumi walked cross the road. Her sense didn't seem to be with her at all. She walked slowly cross the road without looking at the traffic light, which almost turned to the red sign. Suddenly a car was driven very fast toward her. When the car came closer, someone ran toward her and push her away, out of danger......

"Jumi! Are you ok?"

Jumi suddenly looked up and spoke out with flowing tears....

"Joon? Why are you here?"

"If I weren't here, what would have happened to you? Why are you being like this Jumi?"

"Why are you following me? Why? Please stop following me! Pleas stop getting close to me and go away from me."

"Why you ask me to stop getting close to you? At least tell me a reason!"

"Misa loves you. I don't want her to misunderstand me and you anymore. So please stop doing these."

Jumi spoke out like a crazy person and her tears started fall harder and harder. Joon looked into her eyes and grabbed her shoulders with his both hands and said calmly.....

"Jumi! Listen to me! Love is a thing between 2 people. You can't get me to love Misa when I really don't. You're my good friend. I can't stop getting close to you or following you because you ask me to. You care people's feeling more than your own feeling. Jumi! Love yourself more! I know you treat Misa as your good friend and it hurts you when she misunderstands like this. But remember! If she truly is your good friend, she will understand."

Jumi cried harder and harder. Joon tried to comfort her....

"Alright! Cry all you want. But from the next hour, don't let me see your tears again."

Joon pulled Jumi close to him and hugged her slightly.......

"I'm sorry! I'm.... I'm sorry Joon!"

Joon smiled a bit and responded.....

"That's ok. You don't have to apologize but please stop telling me to go away from you anymore."

Jumi seemed to feel a little bit better. They were sitting on swings after walking together to the park. Joon looked at her and said....

"Do you feel better now?"

"I think I do. Thank you Joon."

"Don't thank me. By the way I have a way to release stress when we are unhappy."

"Really? How?"

Joon smiled faintly. He walked toward Jumi and stood behind her........

"What is going to happen next?"

"Is their friendship going to end up like this?"

Stay tune..... ^^

Left Behind

Why do I feel this way? Why do I feel being left behind? Why do I have to hold back my tears? I just wanna shout out loud. I wanna cry. I wanna run away. I wanna end this feeling. Isn't it too hurt to realize that I'm just nothing to them when they're almost everything to me???

You are my Endless Memory: episode 26 ""The secret of Joon and Jumi"

.......................................

While she was holding a book in her hand and walking toward her classroom, Joon was also walking toward the classroom from the opposite direction. She looked at him and dropped the book out of her hand because of shocking. Jumi opened her eyes widely as she saw Joon was wearing the white gloves which she had lost. Once he saw her, he suddenly walked toward her. But he kind of wonders why she was standing still and opening her eyes widely. He lowered and picked up the book on the floor. Then he looked at Jumi for a second and waved his hand in front of her face....

"Jumi!! Jumi!! Are you ok?"

"Ah?? Um... Yeah... I am."

Jumi was back to her sense. Joon replied....

"You don't look ok at all."

"I'm.... I'm really ok."

As they went into their classroom and took a seat, Jumi couldn't help wondering why Joon was having those gloves. Her curiosity got her to ask him....

"Ermmm.... Joon... Your... Your gloves are beautiful."

Joon looked at them and smiled...

"Really? I got them from one of the gifts I had received yesterday."

"R..Re...Rea...Really?"

"Yeah... I think I like them the most among the presents. They are so warm. I wonder who gave them to me because there was only a post card without a name on them."

Jumi was very shocked. She kept thinking of how they can be with Joon.....

Back to yesterday....

Joon was back from the basketball club. He collected the presents on his desk and beside the desk in order to take them home. There were too many presents on Joon's desk, Jumi's and between their desks. Without remembering which's whose, Joon accidentally took Jumi's present which had been put there when someone surprised her. As he got home, he put all the presents on the floor in his bed room and opened them one by one. Once he opened a white present, there were a pair of white gloves in it, with a post card written "I just wanna keep you warm Joon!.... Merry Christmas....". Joon read it and smiled faintly like he knew who that was, though there was no name on the post card.......

Back to today....

Jumi was sitting at her regular seat in the cafeteria. She was reading the book she had borrowed from the library. But her mind didn't seem to be with the book at all. She couldn't help think about Joon and the gloves. Suddenly she saw Joon walking into the cafeteria alone. She tried to hide her face with the book she was reading. Joon looked around for a second and then he walked toward a table for two in the center of the canteen. He completely got attention of everyone around. Jumi was looking at him secretly when another person walked in. She was walking back and forth, looking for a free seat. Immediately, Joon called out....

"Misa!"

She turned around and exclaimed....

"Joon senpai!"

"Are you looking for somewhere to sit?"

"Um.... yeah!"

"You can sit here. It's too crowded. It might be hard looking for a free seat."

Joon said while pointing at the chair in front of him....

"Ah? That... That's ok senpai. I think there is going to be a free seat soon."

Misa was very glad getting a chance to share a table with Joon. But she had to refuse because of the eyes around the cafeteria which were making her uncomfortable. Joon responded.....

"Come on! You won't find one until lunch time is over."

Misa couldn't refuse Joon's kindness. So she took a seat in front of Joon, though she was uncomfortable with everyone around who were staring at her. Joon smiled and put his hands on the table. Misa found the gloves on Joons hand was familiar. Immediately she was startled as she found out that those gloves were exactly the same as the ones she had seen in Jumi's room. She tried to control herself and pretended to know nothing. She spoke out after being silent for a second....

"Hmmm.... Senpai! Why are you alone today? Where are your friends?"

"They are all busy. I was thinking of inviting Jumi along but I couldn't find her anywhere. That little girl is so fast."

Joon said with a smile. Misa's expression changed a bit when Jumi was mentioned.....

"Senpai! Can... I ask you something?"

"Hmm... Sure! Go ahead!"

"What.... What do you think of Jumi senpai?"

"Jumi?!? Um.... She's a unique girl, quiet on the outside but sweet and caring on the inside. She is able to understand people's feelings very well. More than that, she's the kind of girl who keeps people around her warm."

Misa noticed that Joon's smile always appear when he mentions about Jumi. Joon continued....

"Why do you ask about her all of a sudden anyway?"

Misa stammered....

"Ah? I.. I... I just wanted to know. Because you're close to her."

"Umm.... yeah! She's the first person I know when I changed into this school. She's the closest to me."

Misa tried to change the topic because she was starting to be hurt when Joon talks about Jumi.....

"By the way senpai! It must have been boring when you missed the train on Christmas's eve night."

"Hmmm... Not at all. Because I was not alone."

"Really? Who was with you?"

"I was with Jumi."

"Jumi senpai!?!?!??"

Misa was extremely shocked and almost squirt out water from her mouth. Joon replied...

"Yeah!"

"But... But she was with Kei senpai."

"Umm... She was supposed to be on the same train as me. When the train was cancelled, she was stuck at the station with me. I thought you already know abut that."

Joon said and smiled....

Jumi had been watching them all along. She realized Joon had smiled a lot when he's with Misa. She smiled a bit and walked out of the cafeteria....

"""""Joon! Keep that smile on your face forever."""""

Back to Joon and Misa, Misa was totally speechless with what she had just heard. Joon looked at his watch and said....

"Um... It's time. I'm sorry I gotta go now. Good bye Misa."

Once Joon left, Misa started to think back of what had happened. The love magic bottles, the gloves, the Christmas date, everything is related to Jumi. Her hands were shaking and her tears were falling down.....

Joon was walking into the classroom when Jumi was sitting and looking out of the window. He walked toward his seat which is beside the window. As she saw Joon, she suddenly turned away. Joon was about to talk to her but immediately a teacher walked in.....

"Hello everyone! I've got news for you. All the classes at our school, 1st year and 2nd year classes, are going to have a school play competition next month."

"Yayyyyyyyyy!!!"

Everyone screamed out loud happily, except Joon and Jumi. The teacher continued....

"And you all will have to perform "Sleeping Beauty". Now I need to choose the cast. Please come up here one by one and take a fold paper from these two boxes, one for girls and one for guys."

The students came up one by one, until Joon's turn. He took out a paper and unfolds it....

"Um.... I got prince Phillip."

"Ayyyyyyyyyyy.... I want to be Aurora."

"Me too... Me too..."

"I want to be Aurora too."

The girls were going wild wanting to become Aurora.......

"Alright! Alright! Be quiet everyone! JUMI!!!"

"Eh? Yeah teacher!"

Jumi was a bit surprised as she was was called since she had been looking out of the window. The teacher responded...

"Come up here! It's your turn."

Jumi took out a paper and unfolded. She opened her eyes widely as she saw the name on the paper. The teacher asked....

"Jumi! Is there anything wrong?"

"Ermmmm... Excuse me teacher! Can I get another fold paper?"

"No no no... Jumi! You can't. What's wrong? Did you get Maleficent?"

"No teacher. It's not like that. I... I..."

The teacher took the paper from Jumi's hand and took a look.....

"Ahhhhhhhh.... Why you want to change Jumi? Everyone here is wishing for this role. You got Aurora!"

"Jumi got Aurora???"

"Jumi again??"

"Jumi? Aurora?"

Everyone exclaimed. Jumi looked at the floor and sighed. Teacher continued.....

"Well... Class leader! You're in charge of the crew works."

"Yes teacher!"

"So it's set. All the cast members will have to rehearse from tomorrow on after class."

As the class was over, Jumi walked out and saw Misa...

"Hey Misa!"

Jumi called her happily. But Misa just casted a glance at her and walked away. Jumi was completely ignored. She wondered why Misa had ignored her but she didn't think much because she thought Misa might have been in a bad mood.....

After class....

Jumi packed her stuffs and left the classroom. She was walking in the school hall, without realizing Joon was following her. Suddenly she saw Misa again. Jumi ran toward her and called out...

"Misa! Wait for me!"

Misa turned around and saw Jumi. She turned back and ran away. Jumi stopped and took a long deep breathe because of tiredness. She kept looking at Misa until she disappeared....

"Are you having any problems with Misa?"

Jumi turned around and saw Joon was standing behind her....

"Joon!!!"

Jumi was kind of surprised but she continued....

"I'm not having any problems with her. I wonder why she has been avoiding and ignoring me."

Joon looked at her sad face and responded...

"Don't worry! There must be something in her mind. I think she'll turn normal tomorrow."

"I hope so."

Tomorrow morning...........

Misa was walking alone in the school hall when someone spoke out....

"Misa!!"

She turned around and was about to run away. But her hand was grabbed...

"You've been avoiding me. Why are you doing this? Did I do something wrong? Just tell me!"

Jumi said with an upset voice.............................................

First windy day

Saturday/30th/October/2010

I didn't know when had I fallen asleep last night. I was extremely exhausted. Fell asleep in the living room without even taking a shower... LOL I woke up in the early morning, hearing the sound of strong wind outside the window. It was so cold. I went upstair, took a shower and put on a jumper. I went to school, came back home and went to school again. It was afternoon already but it's still cold and the wind was blowing even stronger. While I was in the class, I can see little raindrops outside the door. I couldn't help smiling as I realized my favorite season is coming in. I love this season so much since it's so much similar to autumn.... ^^ I love waking up in the morning, seeing the falling leaves, feeling the coldness and hearing the sound of the wind. It's such a memorable moment............

Weekend fairy tale

It's Saturday night. After one week of schoolworks, I finally got a little free time. Hmm.... I just finished watching a fairy tale "Beauty and the beast".... ^^ It's soooooooo soo so so sweet. I love how it starts with once upon a time and ends up happily ever after.............

You are my Endless Memory: episode 25 ""The truth about Haru""

..................................................

Once Sakura left, Jumi was sitting all alone with many presents beside her. Suddenly, someone stopped his motorcycle in front of her. Jumi was surprised as he took off his helmet. A guy smiled at her and his protrudent teeth appeared.....

"Hi little girl! Nice to meet you again. Remember me?"

Jumi surprisingly responded....

"Haru senpai!?!"

"Eh? You remember!"

Haru got off his motorcycle and walked toward Jumi. He spoke out....

"Do you mind if I sit next to you?"

"No... No... Of course not!"

Haru took a seat next to Jumi and said....

"You're alone?"

"Ah? No... I'm with a friend. She's off to buy some drinks."

"Oh I see. You're so popular at your school, right?"

Haru said while looking at a bunch of presents on the bench. Jumi was a bit surprised with what he had asked. She smiled and replied....

"I don't think I'm popular. But I think people at my school are very kind giving me all these."

Haru laughed secretly to what she had said. He spoke to himself in his mind.....

"""This little girl doesn't even admit that she's popular. If other girls were as popular as her, they might be arrogant and proud. But this girl, not only were saying that she's not popular, she even said that people at her school are very kind. She's so different from other normal girls."""

Immediately, Jumi spoke out after being silent for a moment....

"Um.... Haru senpai! Today is Christmas day! Are you going to have a party with your family?"

Haru responded....

"Christmas day? I don't even know that today is Christmas day. What's more, I'm living in this country alone. My parents are abroad."

"What about your friends?"

"I don't have any friends."

"Eh? A group of people who came along with you the other day are not your friends?"

Haru laughed and responded....

"They're just the gang members. You don't understand about the gang life. Actually they are not my friends."

"Ah I see. You seem lonely, Haru senpai!"

Haru smiled and said....

"Obviously, I was not like this before. Because of my selfishness, I started to lose people around me one by one. I'm not a good child for my parents. I've never done anything to make them happy. Beside, I always make them unhappy. They hate me and left me here all alone."

Jumi looked at him and responded.....

"I don't think they hate you. You know there are no such parents in this world who hate their own children."

"But I don't feel like a child to them. I haven't done anything to make my parents love me. I even killed their favorite child."

Jumi was so shocked hearing that. Haru continued....

"For real, I have an elder brother but he died in a car accident 2 years ago. And yeah... It was all my fault. I'm the one who caused his dead."

Jumi could see pain in his eyes. She responded....

"How come it's your fault? It was just an accident."

Haru replied.....

"My parents love my brother so much since he is a gentle guy who studied hard and never brought any troubles into family. Unlike me, who is a gangster. I always fight with people and make my family unhappy. I'm just too useless. One day I left home for a whole day because my mum was very angry that I had fought with other students. When I was back the next day, I realized my brother had been in the hospital. I rushed there but it was too late. My parents were crying their eyes out beside a dead body on the bed. Once my mum saw me, she was extremely furious. She cried and shouted at me to get out of there. After that I realized my brother had got into the accident when he was out to look for me in the middle of the rainy night. After my brother's dead, my parents were sad everyday. Every time my mum saw me, she got angry and cried. My dad kept saying I didn't care about my own brother's dead. He's right. I'm such a heartless brother. I didn't even shed one tear drop when my brother died. After that, my dad decided to bring my mum abroad, leaving me here all alone."

After hearing Haru's story, Jumi seemed to understand his feeling a little bit more. She tried to comfort him....

"Haru senpai! I believe that one day they will forgive you since that was not completely your fault."

"Even if they forgive me one day, I still can't forgive myself."

Haru looked at Jumi for a second. He smiled and continued....

"Sounds boring, isn't it? I'm sorry. I shouldn't have brought this up. Hmmmm.... It's so cold today."

Haru tried to change the topic. He said with a smile and looked up at the sky. Jumi could see tears in Haru's eyes even he was smiling. She thought that it was sort of unexpected that Haru's life was like that.....

"No... That was not boring at all. That's great I can know a little bit more about you. By the way, does it make you feel better telling that to me? If it does, next time, when you feel down or unhappy about something, you can tell everything to me. I'm willing to listen. Because I'm your friend from now on."

Haru was so surprised with everything Jumi had said. He looked at her and saw she was smiling at him. He smiled back and said....

"Yeah... I will. By the way, I think your friend is coming back. So I'm going now. Good bye little girl. Thanks for listening to my story."

Haru said and stood up. Jumi stood up and responded....

"That's ok. Good bye senpai! Merry Christmas."

"Eh? Today is Christmas day. Right! I should have a gift for you."

Jumi was startled. She quickly responded....

"Ah? No... It's ok. You don't have to give me any gifts."

Haru smiled broadly. He took off a diamond skull earring from his left ear and handed to Jumi.

"Here! Merry Christmas!"

Jumi was really surprised. She quickly refused......

"No... No... No... Senpai! I can't......."

Haru grabbed Jumi's hand and put the earring in it. He smiled sweetly and said.....

"You're my friend, right? So you have to accept it or I'll be angry. I'm sorry! This is too small as a gift. Next time I'll get you something big."

Jumi was taken aback by what he had done and said. Haru got on his motorcycle and put on his helmet. He looked at Jumi and spoke out....

"Ah!! One more thing! Next time don't call me senpai, ok? It sounds kind of weird."

He smiled and left. Jumi was looking at the skull earring in her hand when someone said....

"Eh Hem.... Eh... I saw what was happening."

Jumi turned around and saw Sakura was giggling....

"Sakura senpai! Since when were you back?"

Sakura jokingly responded....

"Hmmm... A moment ago. Since the moment he gave you something and grabbed your hand. Heheheheh....."

"Senpai!!! He was just giving me a Christmas gift normally."

Sakura laughed out loud and continued....

"Hahahha alright! alright! By the way how did you know Haru?"

Jumi replied....

"Hmmm... It was a coincidence and there was a long story. So you know Haru senpai as well?"

"Óf course. Haru is so popular. I used to be in the same class as him before changing into our school. He's a gangster and also a genius. He's very smart and strong. There are 2 sides of him. He's a top student and also a top fighter. No one can beat him neither in studying nor fighting. He's a charming guy. Many girls fall in love with him but he never even takes his eyes to look at any of them."

Jumi responded....

"Really?"

"Yeah!! And I'm a bit surprised seeing him talking to you comfortably and even giving you a gift. More than that, he's so cold, never smile. But I saw the way he smiled at you was totally different from his characteristic. You might be the first girl who is able to see his sweet smile like that."

"Eh? There's no way he's like that. Because I think he's kind to everyone even though he's a gangster."

Sakura smiled and jokingly said....

"Nahhhh... I was telling you all the truth. You must be someone special to him."

"Senpai!"

"Ok... I was joking. But remember Jumi. All I told you was not a lie. He really acts different with you but don't worry, I'm sure he was not just pretending to be a nice guy in front of you. I think because you're different from other girls. That's why he acts different with you. Beside, though he's a gangster, he's gentle. He never pick a fight with someone first. Moreover he's incredibly strong and never gets any single scar or injure from fighting."

"But... Um.. What about the scar under his left eye?"

Sakura responded.....

"Yeah... About that, it happened 2 years ago. There was one time when he was not as strong as usual. So he was attacked seriously and there's a scar on his face up until now. No one knew the reason clearly. But during that time, there was rumor that he was having a family problem."

Jumi replied....

"Ah... I see."

Jumi thought of what Haru and Sakura had said.....

""""This sure proves that he did care about his brother.""""

Tomorrow morning.....

Jumi got to class early as usual. She dropped by at the library to borrow a book. While she was holding a book in her hand and walking toward her classroom, Joon was also walking toward the classroom from the opposite direction. She looked at him and dropped the book out of her hand because of shocking...........................................................................

What makes Jumi so shocked until dropping the book out of her hand?
