30 The Wedding: Part 2 (1/2)
Mi Jin noticed Ha Eun's expression, it worried her because that expression showed nervousness, fear and a hint of regret. She never thought she's see so many emotions in a single expression which worried her. She's never been to a wedding, but she knows for sure that, that is not an expression for a bride to make on her wedding day.
She wants to have a chat with Ha Eun but decides to do that when Ha Eun isn't so surrounded. Ha Eun noticed Mi Jin staring at her, an expression that showed she noticed her expression which worried her. Mi Jin left the room which made Ha Eun think that Mi Jin wanted to talk to her alone.
Mi Jin headed upstairs to Chang Wook's room. It had been years since she last came in here. It looked exactly the same. The action figures on his desk, the books on his bookcase, the bed had the same astrounat covers, like a little kid.
She started to reminisce about the good old days and pulled open one of the drawers in his desk. She was surprised to see an envelope addressed to her. The envelope seemed a bit old, so she wondered how long this has been here.
Since its addressed to her she didn't see the harm in opening it but when she did, her eyes started to tear up. She sat on the bed and with both hands she held the letter over her chest.
”You loved me too” she whispered. She had the sudden urge to talk to Wook but a part of her thought that she shouldn't. She blamed herself for loving two boys and she still blamed herself now. If she brought this letter to Wook, his thoughts would surely go straight to Hyuk Jae.
They might have liked each other back then but that was in the past; this was the present. Mi Jin stood up and as she was about to put the letter back where she found it Ha Eun walked into the room.
She noticed tears in Mi Jin's eyes so the only thing she could deduct was that she was leaving a letter for Chang Wook to find. She got worried thinking that Mi Jin was asking to get back together with him so Ha Eun walked straight towards her and took the letter from her hands.
Mi Jin worried that Ha Eun would overreact so as she read Mi Jin said ”That was written years ago, when we were still kids and we never dated so it doesn't mean anything”
Ha Eun didn't believe Mi Jin when she said it didn't men anything. She wouldn't be crying if it didn't. As Ha Eun finished reading the letter, her heart ached. She had no idea Chang Wook could write such a letter.
”He liked me, but nothing ever happened” Mi Jin said. Ha Eun looked down. She believed Mi Jin's words, but she felt that for some reason she had lost to her.
”Why did you want to talk to me about?” Ha Eun asked her. It worried her that Mi Jin would talk about the wedding and want Ha Eun to call it off. Ha Eun's head hurt at the thought of this. She wants to marry Chang Wook, but she also doesn't want to. Her feelings are all over the place that she can't even think straight.
Ha Eun looked down, this was the first time she felt ashamed of herself.
”Why don't you want to marry Chang Wook?” Mi Jin asked her. Ha Eun widened her eyes and stared Mi Jin straight in the eyes. How could this girl see right through her when even Chang Wook's family and friends couldn't?
Ha Eun wondered if she should tell the truth but this was Mi Jin and you can't trust anyone in this world, especially because of social media. She might say she won't tell anyone, but she could get drunk like last time and talk about this incident to someone and that person could post it online and she and Chang Wook would be ruined.
”What makes you think I don't want to marry my fiancée?” Ha Eun asked her with a serious expression. Mi Jin noticed how Ha Eun closed herself off. She's worked with kids a long time to know why they do it.
