Chapter 14

At the Restaurant

I saw Lucas has arrived so I went to sit in front of him and he somehow staring outside. I tried to call him few times but he didn't respond. Then I slapped his hand then only he realized.

Me: "Hey are you okay? Your eyes getting teary." I told him in concern.

Lucas:" Hey sorry, I'm just trying to forget but it's coming to my mind."

Me:" Did you fight with Yuqi? I saw she was chasing you earlier on."

Lucas:" We broke up yesterday, I believe you know the reason. Jackson."

Me:" How you know I knew about Yuqi with Jackson?" I ask him and he said Jonghyun. I somehow feel sad for him. I understand it's not easy for him to forget someone even I never had boyfriend I do have some other things I could relate with especially family.

Me:" I wanted to show you but I'm scared you will think I'm trying to destroy your relationship so I didn't." Then he asks "show?". I nods my head and I took my phone and show the pictures of them and he shocked and sighed in disbelief.

Lucas: "Thank you for showing me now."

Me:" You know trying to be forgetting someone is not easy. I know that so much especially the one you loved sincerely all your heart. I just want you to go out with your friends, family, the person you cherished. As times goes by it's not you forget them but you just take it as a lesson. I don't want you to think it as a karma of what you have Kim Ye Ji, I know she never hated you after what she find out but she just disappoint with herself. She just wants you to look at her the same way she does. Rather than you are forgetting about Yuqi just think she is also one part in your life that used to brighten you up."

Lucas:" You are right, I shouldn't forget everything since she is the one used to give me support through my up and down. Maybe I should cherish the memory and thing our relationship couldn't long last."

Me:" Good boy never let a past relationship to change you as miserable person. It's not any of your fault that the relationship didn't work, maybe if you end up to marriage without knowing that either one of you is not satisfied with each other you will end up divorce."

Lucas:" You really go through a lot in your huh? You sound like a counsellor now. Really thank you so much, not everyone will talk to the person after his girlfriend slap, throw water in the face and tripped that person. I'm really sorry for what she has done."

Me:" I may go through a lot but there is people who actually suffering more than I am so I learn counselling to help people. I never angry at you for what she has done I think she trying to figure out something with herself that's why she used me. She doesn't look like she hates me but she trying to hate me."

Lucas:" Wow, can't you share your problem with me? I want to know too. Please" he pouted which I think it's okay to tell him maybe it can help him to forget her.

Me:" Well my family isn't like yours. My father is hot tempered. He also used to have affair and after few years my mom used to have an affair too. All my parents do is scold me for what they want. Almost everything they decide in my life sometimes I can't be myself as I wanted to. I never hated them but sometimes they just don't want to admit me as their child. My brother got everything, their attention, care, love, money , just everything he have while me I have to fight for my own self. I must work to pay off my own studies. Almost everything I pay myself, sometimes I'm tired I feel if only I could rely on someone, but I can't. Even Jungwoo and Jonghyun help me a lots indeed but I can't always rely on them. They used to take care of me every single time I got bitten from my dad even worse sometimes it's too bad to the point they will bring me to the hospital."

Lucas:" Hey I'm sorry to hear that, now I understand why they 2 always said you have gone through a lot." He said while holding my hand in teary eyes, is pitying me.

Me:" It's okay tho, that's life that has been written by god and I accept it. Plus I have lot's of people who cared about me like Jungwoo, Jonghyun, Taemin, Minho,Jennie,Lisa it's more than enough for me."

Lucas:" and also me. I care about you too ok." My eyes got widened at what he said.

Me:"o-oh o-okay thank you and I cared about y-you too" why do I stuttering. Then I look at my watch it's 4.15. I told him I'm going to washroom cause I'm blushing like a pig when said that. I never thought he will say he cared about me, why there's butterfly in my stomach. I slap my face saying that he's just my friend nothing more. After I exited the washroom I went to pay the bills cause I don't want him to pay so I pay quickly before he saw. I just want to treat him.

I went to the table took my bag and said "Let's go, I have to go work." Then he nods and stand up" I'll go pay first." Then I shook my head "no need I have pay it's my treat." Then he shocks "Why you pay? Keep your money for other things." He said concernedly. "You usually came here with Yuqi but you paid for her so today I'll pay so you can avoid the memories in your head." He just sighed and said thanks as I almost going to my car he shouted my name" HYE JIN AHH"

As I was about to turn then he hug me tightly. My eyes got widened at his action. "Thank you for today, I'll never forget this. You don't be sad too okay, I'm always here if want to talk it out, let me know if you have any problems too. Thank you for everything." He said while hugging me tightly and patting my head.
