3 Chapter 2: It Is A Red Summer!!

The dim light has come into the wooden Bungalow of Wendy and Joy. The room is now getting dimer and dimer.

The night before, Wendy has been unconscious in the red haired dude arms after he helped her from drowning in swimming pool of Shan Gri La hotel.

However, when she opens her eyes, she is lying on her bed in her bungalow. Joy is sitting on a chair besides her be, sounding sleeping by lying her head on her arms/hands on Wendy's bed. There is a little snorting too...from her slight open mouth..

Wendy stares at her friend, smiling and shaking her head a little.

Wendy then touch her friend's nose with her index finger ...and press a little hard

that makes Joy wakes up.....

She sits up upright back...and then..

"Ahh..it's hurt"

Her arms are red because of her head resting on them for several hours..

" Ohh Wendy ...you wake up finally.....are you ok!"..You had been sleeping nearly whole day and night...!!"..

Wendy:"Really!!..Oh I remember...I drowned last night . He came and help...!!.Er...I even forgot to thank him!"

Joy: "Well... you are not so conscious last night!"...

Joy's face light up .... and say...

"Yep...I'm interested to meet him again too...a beautiful red head dashing hero..." by saying that Joy just get up to turn on the light.

Wendy is trying to sit up on bed and says

"Joy.. let's go out. I need to feel some fresh air?"

Joy: "Are you sure you can go out?"

Wendy nods...

"and I want some red velvet ice cream we had on the first day of our arrival here.."

Joy looks at her friend and one of her eyebrows goes up..

"Okay. let's get prepared and go!!"

************

On the same day that Wendy has been sleeping whole day, Mr Jung Ji Wook, the father of the red haired young man that has saved Wendy, has been visited by a man in the brown suit at his office in the city ...the office for important officials in parliament. ... hours before Wendy wakes up in Jeju.

At the day, everyone congratulate to Mr Jung Ji Wook for his elder child, daughter, Jung Yoona got married several days before.... those who have not get the chance to join the wedding party.

"Happiest congrats to your daughter..Mr Jung!!"..the words are repeated the whole morning.

But then the man in brown walks in..ask for Mr Jung...who is working in his private office room.

Mr Jung comes out to meet his guest who is said that is his old friend from the past.

And yes...as soon as he sees the man...Mr Jung Ji Wook remembers the man immediately.

The man takes off his brown hat and says..

"Long time no see buddy..do you remember the promise we make ....time ago.."

and yes...Mr Jung Ji Wook remembers..

*********

Back in Jeju...in late afternoon....

The two young men are sitting and resting on a bench in front of the hotel they are staying.. staring into a deep blue sea.. they are resting after playing volleyball with other youth there who are at staying the hotel..

Finally, the young man with cute cheeks and fair hair says to the red head young man who is closing his eyes....

" Hobi, Hoseokie...do you enjoy the holiday.. Hyung (brother)...."

Hoseok: "Yes..I feel a lot better!!"

Jimin (The fair haired man):"Time will heal your heart!..Just think she and you has no destiny together."

Hoseok nods.

Hoseok has just had a broken heart not so long ago when his girlfriend of four years ran off with another man. He has just heard that she is now pregnant with the man.

His best friend, Park Jimin or better known as Chim Chim among friends has done everything for his friend Hoseok to recover. Hoseok finally gets better... with the help of his family too. Hoseok thoughts go to Yoona, his sister who has just got married not so long ago. It is funny enough..at her wedding, all the ladies tried to catch the bride's bouquet. But as he happens to be near the group of the girls ..the bouquet strangely fell into his hands.But Hoseok is sure he is not getting married for sure.. Because he could never ever love any women again. He is now quite scared of them in fact...for a reason. He would not let his heart break again.

Anyway He hopes her husband treats her well. He is serious about it especially after his encounterment with the abusive husband the day before. He wonder how is the wife now?

Then, his thoughts turn to the brave lady who dare to interrupt the abusive man..as Hoseok thinks about her...he smiles..."Quite brave indeed.. but she should have been more sensible about it!" what if he has not been there at the moment when that abusive man is going to hurt her.?..He does not want to think about it anymore.

Jung Hoseok and Park Jimin are friends since they were in primary school. They actually loves each other like brother. When they grew up however, they do separate their jobs. Park Jimin has good taste in fashion because it's his family business ...but he is building he is own business on his own too..that makes his family proud of him.

Jung Hoseok has just graduated with master in Business and also in political science. He just does not know if he should just help his mother with hotels and tour management or he should work hard to become the head of Embassy as his father has wish him too..but before he could decide anything...his life is falling apart.

After a moment of silence..Jimin speaks..

"Man..it's such a hot summer... let's go and get some ice cream to cool down.."

"Ok, " Hoseok nods.

So they goes to the ice cream shop situated in the garden of the hotel.

But then again...as they come closer to the ice cream shop.. Hoseok bumps into a woman..who is walking restlessly with red velvet ice cream in her hand.. the people are crowded at the place at the moment. When the man suddenly passes her to get ahead and he kinds of hit her to fall ...it is the time she happens to bump into Hoseok. She falls above him. The red ice cream are falls and spread on his body ....but more astonishing thing is her face is falling above his and she try to pick her face up..and they end up touching their lips..

At that very moment... Wendy is feeling so strange. Her heart is beating fast...

It is only a peck on lips...but she knows that she has felt beyond somehow.

They finally let off each other...and say "Sorry" together at once...His face is astonished by the event too.

But.

His clothes are now..so he is hurrying back to his own hotel room. Jimin follows him. But before he could disappear from sight .. Wendy shouts to Hoseok..

"I'm very sorry Mister.. but thank you so much for everything!"

Hoseok doesn't look back...

but he says back..

"You are welcome, lady."

Then he continues his way.

Wendy is left standing there and besides her.

Then, she looks up to the sky. !!

The sunset is beautiful!!

But to her at that moment... everything go red.. Velvet Red.. It's colour is just beautiful. Wendy encounters lots of red these days..

She smiles and tells herself...Joy is standing watching her...

"It is a red summer indeed!"
