You are my Endless Memory: episode 22 ""A magical Christmas's eve night""

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

Jumi finally arrived at the train station. As she was waiting for the train, someone walked toward the bench, where she was sitting. Jumi looked up as someone was smiling at her.....

"What a coincidence!!!"

Jumi surprisingly exclaimed...

"JOON!!!"

"Eh! Jumi! Why are you alone?"

"Ah... Oh.. Kei went to the town first since I was busy having dinner with my mum. What about you? Where's Misa?"

Joon responded with a straight face....

"Um... I dropped by at the shop to buy something so I told her to go first."

"Ah... I see! So what line are you on?"

"hmmm... the next one. What about you?"

"Me too. You're going to the town as well?"

Joon smiled and responded....

"Yes! Yes I am."

"What a coincidence!"

Immediately there was an announcement in the train station....

"Dear all the passengers who will be travelling on the train line 22. Due to the heavy snow, the train line 22 will be cancelled to travel tonight. We'd like to apologize. Travelling will be turned back to normal at 11 o'clock. Thank you!"

Jumi suddenly exclaimed......

"Eh?? This can't be happening. What should we do?"

She quickly took out her phone and called Kei. She sighed and spoke out....

"I can't reach Kei. Joon! Have you called Misa?"

Joon looked at Jumi and replied....

"I can't reach her either."

Jumi hopelessly looked at the ground. Joon looked at her and asked calmly....

"Jumi! Do you wanna go with him that much?"

She looked back at him...

"Joon! It's.... It's not like that. But I feel bad as I've kept him waiting and now I can't even go nor tell him that I can't go."

She continued hopelessly....

"What should we do now?"

"There is nothing more we can do."

"Hmmmm... They must be waiting for us."

Jumi spoke out disappointedly....

10 minutes later.............

Joon looked at Jumi and said.....

"Jumi! Do you wanna sit here for the whole Christmas's eve night?"

Jumi looked at him and replied.....

"But you said there's nothing more we can do."

Joon smiled and responded....

"We can't do anything to reach them doesn't mean we can't do anything to enjoy this Christmas's eve."

End of talking, Joon grabbed Jumi's hand and dragged her along. Jumi was sort of surprised with Joon's unexpected action.....

"Joon! Where are you taking me to?"

"You'll know once we get there."

Under the beautiful lights along the street, a tall guy was holding a girl's hand tightly. They kept walking until they reached a place where was full of Christmas tree, lights, stalls and people....

"Tada!!!"

"Wow! I never knew there is such a festival here."

Joon smiled and said....

"Let's go!"

After walking and looking around for a moment, Jumi and Joon arrived at a stall.....

"Hey! Pretty girl and handsome guy over there."

An old lady called out while looking at Joon and Jumi. They suddenly exclaimed at the same time....

"Us???"

"Yes you are."

They walked toward her stall as she brought out a pair of cute little bottles which were decorated nicely with pink and white ribborn and there was a fold paper in each of them. The old lady looked at them and smiled....

"You both are such a cute couple. These are called love magic bottles. They can make your love last forever."

Jumi quickly refused....

"Excuse me! But we are not....."

Suddenly, Joon interrupted....

"Well.... How does it work?"

"It's quite simple. The bottle with white ribborn is for the guy and the bottle with pink ribborn is for the girl. You both just have to write each other's name on the piece of paper and everything's done."

Joon smiled and responded....

"This is pretty interesting, isn't it, Jumi?"

Joon looked back and realized that Jumi had disappeared....

"Eh? Where's Jumi? Hmmm excuse me!"

Joon ran around in order to look for Jumi. He finally saw her at a stall....

"Jumi! Why you left without even telling me? I was so worried. I thought you had lost."

Jumi laughed and replied....

"How old am I to get lost? I'm so sorry. I dare not to disturb you since you were so interested in those magic bottles. By the way, did you buy them?"

"I didn't. I was about to buy them but I turned around and you had disappeared."

Jumi smiled and said....

"Joon! Do you believe in that kind of things?"

Joon responded with a smile....

"Of course! I believe in miracle. Wait a second! Jumi! Don't tell me that you've never made a wish upon the falling stars."

Jumi's mind went blank for a second. Something Joon said reminded her of a memory....

(((((((("Look! Jumi! Falling stars!"........

As the boy looked at the girl, she was praying.......
"Jumi! what are u doing?"

"Shhhhhh... make a wish! It will come true!"................

The boy smiled and stared at her for a second....

"Jumi! What did you wish for?"

"I can't tell you. My mum told me that wish can not be revealed or it's not gonna come true." "Haha... ok ok! so I'm not gonna ask you then...")))))))))

Jumi looked at Joon and said....

"I ever. I used to wish upon the falling stars."

Joon smiled and replied....

"So you must believe in miracle as well. Jumi! You should believe in those kinds of things because sometime it might be real."

Jumi turned and stared at Joon who was smiling happily......

As they were walking among a huge crowd, Joon suddenly disappeared. Jumi looked around and called.....

"Joon! Joon! Where are you?"

Jumi kept calling for Joon when someone tabbed her shoulder. She turned around and saw Joon who was smiling at her....

"I'm here!"

"Joon! Where were you? I was so worried."

He chuckled and said....

"That's the punishment for making me worried about you earlier."

Jumi couldn't help smiling over Joon's childish behavior. Joon looked around and saw an old man playing a Christmas song on a guitar.....

"Jumi! Let's go over there."

As they were watching him performing, Joon spoke out....

"Jumi! Stay here!"

He said and walked toward the old man. He said something to the old man. Then he smiled and handed his guitar to Joon. He turned around and smiled at Jumi. She was kind of wondering what Joon was trying to do. Suddenly two girls walked and stopped beside Jumi. They were talking with each other.....

"Hey! Look at the guy who's holding the guitar. He's so handsome."

"Yeah... How can a guy be so adorable like that?"

Jumi accidentally heard them. She looked at Joon and noticed that he was really handsome as they had said. A tall 18-year-old guy with brown hair who was in simple clothing. Long jeans went well with sneakers, jumper and brown scarf. His pink lips kept on smiling. She was staring at him and became surprised as he spoke out among the audiences.......

"Well.... I'm going play a song. I'd like to dedicate it to everyone here for this Chirstmas's eve night. Particularly, it's especially for my friend who is also here."

Joon said as he was looking straight at Jumi. Then he started to play. Jumi was even more surprised when Joon put the guitar on his lap and played the song "My Memory" which was the song she had played earlier in the piano club. The song was being played smoothly during a winter night.....

"Joon! That was amazing!"

Joon smiled and responded....

"Eh? Really? This evening I heard someone playing that song on the piano at school. It was played beautifully. I don't know why but that sound keeps on playing in my head. It's like a magic."

Jumi was surprised once again by Joon's words. Joon casted a glance at her surprised face and smiled faintly......

After a few hours at the festival, Joon and Jumi had a seat on a bench in a park. The weather was so cold. The trees and the playground in the park were decorated with lights which were so beautiful. Jumi spoke out with a smile.....

"It's so beautiful. I'm feeling like sitting in a magic land."

Joon looked at Jumi's smiling. There hasn't been many times when he sees her happy face like that....

"Jumi! Do you believe in magic?"

"Hmmm... sometimes!"

"Ah! Really? Then watch this!"

Joon showed Jumi his empty hands. He quickly flipped his hands and closed them. He smiled and opened his left hand which had nothing. Then he opened his right hand slowly and there was..........................................
