Mission 2: Marry Chae Hyungwon ✔️

thirty six

"Thankyou. Do you perhaps remember Aunt Jung?"

"Aunt Jung? As in Jung Hwamin? The tacky aunt?" He yawned a bit while saying that

"Yes! That's the one, I was wondering if she's in Deokjeokdo right now since her name's registered in one of the guest houses"

There was a pause on the other line before Mingyu answered, "That can't be"

"Why not?"

Mingyu yawned once again, "She's in Taiwan for a business trip. My mom just had a phone call with her this evening"

My lips curled up into the biggest smile hearing Mingyu's answer, "Thankyou Mingyu"

I pressed end call button and met the guys stares, "What did he say?"

Grabbing my coat, I was overwhelmed with happiness that I ignored their question

"Hyungwon?" Minhyuk called out as I was opening the door, "Did you find her?"

"I found her"

Another sleepless night,
Eyes were staring at the starry sky while arms placed on the balcony. It has been a week since I left Seoul in hope that I will be able to calm my heart down. But to my dismay, it only become much restless and all I could think about is him

I heard the news, but somehow it made me uneasy. The marriage might be cancelled, but who knows what's inside of his heart? He could mean every word he said to me. I deserved it though, I hurt him badly.

Ring...ring...ring..

The signature iPhone ringtone snapped me back to reality as I took my phone out. Hyungwon has been calling me daily, and consistently. It made me miss him even more, but I don't think I have the gut to hear whatever he wants to say. My heart became stuffy at the thought of him.

You have one voicemail...

With trembling fingers, I clicked the voicemail button and listened carefully

Aira, this is probably the thousandth time I called. You must be feeling really annoyed right now, seeing me bombarding you with calls and texts. But I want to hear your voice, I know it's greedy of me to ask such request. Moreover, after all the hurt and pain I caused you. I want to say I'm sorry and explain everything, please pick up

Ring...ring...ring...

Tears were threatening to flow out but I wiped it instantly. Ignoring his call, I slid my phone back into my pocket and grabbed my coat

I need a walk, a very long walk along the beach

The beach at dawn was always so beautiful, it clears out my mind from unnecessary thoughts as I admired the view. I wanted to have an enjoyable walk, but it was disturbed by the constant ringing from my phone
