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