Jumi exclaimed
"Me?"
Everyone exclaimed
"Her?"
Other girls reacted over Jumi's position...
"I wanna help Joon too."
"Yeah me too."
"Why there's only Jumi?"
The class leader responded...
"Be quiet everyone! Jumi sits next to Joon. They must be close and get along well. So I guess it'll be great for them to work together. That's all for today. Tomorrow we'll start with our decoration. You all have to come. Don't be lazy or I'll punish you to clean the bathroom. You can go home now. Have a nice day everyone."
Jumi ran toward the class leader and said...
"Excuse me leader! Don't you think it's not a really good idea for me to be Joon's helper?"
"Is there any problem Jumi? I think there's no one is better than you as this position. By the way if I let a girl become Joon's helper, other girl will get jealous and our project will be ruined."
Having no choice and didn't want to concern the class leader, Jumi decided to accept that positon. Everyone was preparing to leave, including Jumi who was putting her stuffs into her bag while feeling worried about the position as Joon's helper....
She's done with packing and left the class. As usual, she walked along the street surrounded by big trees. Walking slowly into the park, the kids ran toward her. She had a seat on a swing and read a fairy tale for them...
"Sister Jumi! How come a kiss from the prince can wake Aurora up?"
Her memories seemed to be bringing her back to the thing happened 7 years ago...... Jumi smiled and answered...
"That's because the power of the curse has nothing compare to the true love of the prince for the princess."
"Wow that's wonderful. We're going back to play now. Thanks for the story sister."
"Be careful kids."
Jumi was sitting all alone thinking of memories she's treasured in her heart up until now....
((((("Wooooow! That's such a wonderful story! It would be great if all the curse could be broken by a kiss.^^"
"Not just because of the kiss but because the power of the curse has nothing compare to the true love of the prince for the princess."
"I love how fairy tale starts with Once upon a time and ends up Happily ever after.")))))
Someone walked toward her and interrupted her thoughts...
"Looks like you regularly visit this park."
Jumi said with surprising face....
"Joon! What are you doing here?"
"I just walked pass here and saw you, so I decided to drop by for a moment. Do you mind if I sit here?"
"Hmmm... No of course not."
Joon smiled and took a seat on a swing next to Jumi...
"The last time I picked up a book for you, it was a fairy tale. Just a moment ago, I saw you were telling a fairy tale to the kids. You seem to like reading fairy tale so much."
Jumi smiled a bit and responded...
"Yeah... Reading fairy tale makes me feel happy. By the way you've been watching me all along?"
"Hmmm... Yeah. I dare not to interrupt while you were telling the story to the kids.^^ Anyway Are you feeling bad about working with me on school festival?"
"No! Don't get it wrong. I'm just afraid that I will be troubling you."
"That's ok! Don't think too much about it and don't feel any pressure. Because i'll be ok even if you're troubling me."
Joon smiled gently to Jumi. She smiled back to him. Joon continued...
"My house is on this way. I often see you when I walk pass here. You like coming here?"
"You can say that. But this park is the only place I know. I've been coming here since I was young."
"You're always alone?"
"When I was young I used to have someone who was always by my side, but now he's not by my side anymore."
"Oh I see. Don't worry. I'm sure he'll be back to you again one day."
Joon looked at his watch and said...
"It's time. I gotta go now. Good bye Jumi. See you at school tomorrow."
He smiled and walked out of the park. Jumi was watching him from the back with tears dropping....
"I hope so too, Joon. I hope he will be back to me again. Even if I have to wait for a very long time, it's ok as long as he'll be back to me. But everything is just too hopeless for me. Because right now he's become someone who doesn't even remember me. I've become a stranger to him. Hoping that he will be back to me is just an endless hope, a hope that will never be real. It's enough just to see him smile like that. It's just a little bit hard for me to realize that he is right in front of me but I can never have him by my side as he used to be."..................
