A year has passed and many interesting things happened to Jisung's life.
He graduated from high school with plenty of awards. His parents are so proud of him.
Even though he achieved this goal, he felt that there's a missing piece on his life.
He knew it was Chenle.
After all this time, it was always Chenle.
He remembered that they promised to each other that they would both graduate with flying colors.
He's happy but sad at the same time.
It was a mixed emotions for Jisung.
It was the last week of the summer vacation.
Jisung was laying on his bed, plenty of thoughts filling his head.
He's still thinking about Chenle.
Everyday of the whole summer, Jisung would stopped by at Chenle's old house.
Still hoping that his boyfriend would come back.
That he would remember him.
His parents are worried about him. He would always zoned out when they're talking to him.
They knew that their son is still hurting deep inside, but kept on hiding it.
For college plans, Jisung is very uncertain. He applied at a prestigious university at Seoul.
Chante et danse University.
The most prestigious university at Korea which majors singing and dancing.
Many famous singers and dancers at Korea are alumni of the said university.
Jisung wanted to be a famous dancer someday.
But he thought his dream would not come true.
Because the tuition fee of the university is very expensive.
Getting a student loan is not enough.
That's why most of the students of the said university is rich and powerful.
So he thinks that he wouldnt get the chance to study there.
Where would he get the money for college, if by any chance, would he pass the entrance examinations?
He took the examinations online with a help of his friend, Na Jaemin.
Jaemin is his bestfriend who now lives in Seoul.
He went to Jaemin's house at Seoul and used his laptop to take the exam, because internet at the countryside is really slow for him.
He's still deep on his thoughts when his mother knocked twice on his bedroom door.
"Can I come in?"
"Of course, Mom.."
Mrs. Park entered his son's bedroom and saw Jisung lying down on the bed, eyes fixated on the ceiling.
She seated at the edge of the bed and looks at her son.
"Penny for your thoughts?" she asked.
Jisung jolted up and sat beside his mother.
"Still thinking about Chenle?"
Jisung looked up and nods quietly.
"Aigoo... My poor little baby..." Mrs. Park hugs his son tightly.
He hugged back and hides his face on his mother's shoulder.
"Let me tell you this again son.. It's not your fault on what happened to Chenle.. I also believed Chenle doesnt blame you.."
Jisung lifted his head up.
"I just want to know how's he doing... Did he recovered really well? Does he remember me?"
"Jisung... They always say that if two person are really meant for each other... You'll both meet again.. Even though there's plenty of hardships you'll both faced, true love will always succeed..." Mrs. Park smiled.
Jisung smiled back to his mother.
"Thank you, Mom..."
"Anything for you, my dear.."
Thud! Thud!
A knock can be heard coming from their front door.
"Is your dad home? I mean it's too early.." Mrs. Park asked.
"Let me get the door, Mom..."
Jisung jolted up from the bed and rushed to the front door.
He opened the door, revealing a tall man standing in front.
"Is this where Mr. Park Jisung leaves?" the man asked.
"Hello Sir.. I'm Park Jisung..." Jisung replied politely.
"Oh? Hello Mr. Jisung.. Sorry for not recognizing you.. I'm a mailman from Seoul.. I've travelled really far just to give this letter to you..."
The mailman hands a golden envelope to Jisung.
"Sorry for the inconvenience, Mr. Mailman.. You've travelled really far just to give this.."
"Nah. Don't be sorry, Mr. Park.. It's my job after all..." the mailman smiled.
"Can you please sign on this?"
Jisung signed a document from the mailman.
"Thank you, Mr. Park. I'll be leaving now.. Have a great day!"
"Thank you, Mr. Mailman. Safe travels!"
Jisung closed the door and went to the living room to read the letter.
"What is it?" his mom asked while folding clothes on the chair.
"No idea..." Jisung replied while opening the letter.
His eyes widened with shock.
It was from Chante et danse University.
Jisung read it aloud.
Dear Mr. Park
We are happy to inform you that you passed the entrance examination to our university. We are pleased to welcome you to study here at Chante et danse. We are very eager to mold you into a best dancer in Korea. It also attatched in this letter the requirements you need to pass and fees that you need to pay.
Yours truly,
Irene Bae
Dean of Chante et danse
Jisung jumped from joy. He was so happy he passed the examination.
"I'm so happy for you, Jisung..." his mother stood up and hugged him.
But reality soon hits him hard.
His smiles soon turned into a frown.
"What's the matter, sweetie?" Mrs. Park asked worriedly.
"What was I thinking? I couldnt afford to study there, Mom..."
"We'll get the money somehow..."
"No Mom.. Look at the list of fees. First semester costs millions, not thousands..."
Suddenly, his father came home from the farm. He noticed the sad ambience of his wife and son.
"What are you two sulking about?"
Jisung hands the letter to his father.
"Oh my gosh, you really passed! Its a good news!"
"But Dad.. Look at the fees.."
Mr. Park's eyes widened in shocked.
"Woah.. It's really expensive.."
"It's impossible to push this through.." Jisung said sadly.
"Don't give up, son... We can sell one of our lands for your first semester tuition.."
"No, Dad... You can't risk it."
"But Son... This is your dream. I'm willing to sacrifice anything for you.." Mr. Park said.
Jisung hugged his father tightly.
"Thank you, Dad. But no... Don't risk it for me... I can just help you farming for the mean time..."
"Are you sure, Son?"
"Of course..." Jisung smiled, but deep inside, his heart is full of regrets.
Meanwhile, at USA, Chenle is strolling around at their garden at the mansion grounds.
Appreciating the cute little flowers.
He saw his grandmother, drinking tea at the pavillion.
He ran to her and greets her with happy energy.
"Good Morning, Grandma!"
Grandma Zhong smiles.
"Good Morning to you too, Lele.. What are you so happy about?"
Chenle smiles widely.
"Because tomorrow, I'm returning to Korea! To study at Chante et danse! I passed!"
Grandma Zhong stood up slowly and engulfes the boy with a hug.
"Congratulations! I knew you would passed! You're a great singer!"
Chenle looked up to his grandmother.
"I'm so excited! Can't wait to meet new friends!"
"Do you know someone at Korea, Chenle?" Grandma Zhong asked.
"Uhmm.. No... That's why I'm excited to go!"
Grandma Zhong frowned.
"Oh.. Okay..."
"I gotta go, Grandma! I need to pack my things!"
Chenle pecked his grandmother's cheek and starts to run.
"Jisung Park..." Grandma Zhong blurted out softly.
Chenle stopped on his tracks and looked back to his grandmother.
"Who?"
"Jisung Park... Do you know him?"
Chenle tilted his head.
"No Grandma.. I don't know him.."
"Oh?? Okay... You may now go..."
Chenle resumed running towards the mansion.
Grandma Zhong sighed heavily.
A tall man in a black suit approached the old lady at the pavillion.
"Do you need my service, Ma'am?"
Grandma Zhong sips her tea and hands a big, brown envelope to the man.
"Commence our plan, Johnny.. It's time... It's time for my grandson to remember everything.. Including Park Jisung..." she smiled.
"Yes, Ma'am... Right away..." and Johnny disappeared quickly.
Chenle is on his bedroom, packing up his things.
He suddenly remembered what his grandmother said.
Park Jisung...
"Who is Park Jisung?" he thought.
Suddenly, tears starts flowing from his eyes.
He doesnt know why he was crying.
He wipes his face.
"Why am I crying? Who's this Park Jisung my grandma talks about?"
He don't know what or who Park Jisung is, but one thing is for sure...
He would find the answers really soon.
