The winter

~*~

"You have arrived in Seoul, omg really?"

That sweety girl kept smiling and rolling her brown hair while she was talking to the guy that she had waited.

"Ah okay, I miss you too". She showed again her gummy smile.

She hung up the cellphone, her smile had not disappeared from her beautiful face. Until her cellphone vibrated again, she hesitantly picked it.
It was a call from a woman.

"Yes, I am Jennie Kim". She spoke slowly while wondered what those woman would say.

Then, her mouth dropped open, her eyes widened while she clasped a hand over her mouth spontaneously, her body trembled as shock took over her.

"No way.."

Jennie tightened the scarf around her neck, occasionally blowing steam into her hand from her mouth. Seoul was being visited of his old friend, the winter. Her legs that wrapped in timberland boots stepped quickly, approaching the man who stood less than a meter from her.

"Waiting for me?" Jennie said.

"Jennie ..."
Jennie took a deep breath.

"Marry me," That baritone's voice stopped Jennie's breath for a moment.

Silence suddenly enveloped them, Jennie scratched her neck that was actually not itchy.

"Why?" Jennie looked away.

"Why is that so sudden?" She stared at the man in front of him.

The man pulled out a ring from his pocket, grabbed Jennie's hand and slipped the ring onto her finger.
Jennie looked at the ring on her finger, her mouth was unable to say any word.

"Say something"
Kyungsoo began to sue the girl he had just proposed.

"Do you want me to reject you huh?"

Their pupils met again, both of them are laughed. The atmosphere between them was inversely proportional to the weather today. Kyungsoo pulled Jennie's arm gently bringing her walked together. Jennie put her hand into the pocket of Kyungsoo's blazer, their fingers hugging each other there. Until they arrived at a place, teokkbokki shop.

"Do you remember something?" Kyungsoo asked.
"We used to eat here when we were young ? Hm but I'm still young."

Jennie put a teok which was full of sauce into her mouth. Kyungsoo just shook his head slowly, actually that was not what he meant.

"Don't eat too much" said Kyungsoo as he walked away.

"Hey? Where are you going?" Jennie followed him quickly, carrying the bowl of teokbokki she had bought. Kyungsoo smiled thinly, his eyes looked around him. Then, his pupil focused to a chair across there. Both of them put their butts on the chair. Jennie was still busy eating the teokbokki which made Kyungsoo discourage him from holding her hand.

"I'm going to Belgium" Kyungsoo began their conversation.

Jennie ate last piece of the teokbokki. She turned around to the man who sitting next to her. "When?"

"Tomorrow ... uhm it won't be long, just a few days"
Jennie just nodded.

"At first ... I will propose to you after returning from Belgium. But, for some reason I feel scared"

Jennie laughed. "What are you afraid of? A plane accident? You've been there so often" She hit Kyungsoo's arm softly.

"You're right" He smiled. "Somehow, but I'm just afraid of losing you" Kyungsoo looked at the snowflakes below, suddenly Jennie's tiny hands reached his hand softly.

"I'll be with you, there is nothing to worry about"

"No ... no way!" Jennie closed her mouth holding back the sound of her crying, her chest felt so tight, her vision began to blur. Her body collapsed, she was unconscious.

Jennie opened her eyelids slowly which felt so heavy. Looked at the ceiling that felt strange to her. Her body began to rearrange her soul which had been scattered.

"Are you okay?"
Jennie realized who the voice belong to without seeing it.

"Lisa? Why am I here?" Jennie asked nervously.

"Actually, it's been 3 days since you fainted" Lisa explained.

"What?? What about Kyungsoo?" Jennie's hand trembled.

"Sorry to say this to you, but you missed his funeral" Lisa looked down, she was unable to see what reaction would be given by Jennie, her tears started to fall.
