Chapter 1 To Keep Calm
"CEO Gu, please take a look at this. I received this box this morning and it was addressed to you.
He looks up from his computer and waved at his secretary. "Drop it on the table I'll check what's in it later".
"Ok sir" Chi Yun Hee said, carefully placing the box on the table.
"Anything else?" Gu Jun Pyo asked when he saw her still standing there stealing glances at him.
"No...Noting else sir"
"You may leave!.
"Al..Alright sir." She hurried out before her head flies off her shoulder with the sharp glare he gave her.
"Why is boss always so grumpy?" I have never seen him happy, I wonder Why?" Chi Yun Hee wondered.
...
*Thirty minutes later....
Jun Pyo opened the box. "What is in the box? Who could have sent it? I hope this is not a new trick made by my enemies?" He murmured.
Noticing a pink card in the box Jun Pyo furrowed his brow and opened it.
"Flower's are beautiful but I haven't seen a flower as beautiful as you, You are my only flower, And in my garden you shall forever be."
His eyes were immediately clouded with tears, blinking his eyes repeatedly to stop the tears threatening to fall from his eye he whispered "Su Min."
After going through all the cards and reliving his past, The pain which he had buried deep in his heart and body resurfaced.
"I thought I could move on from you Su Min. I thought I could forget you. I thought...."
He wipe the tears falling uncontrollably from his eyes as he noticed a small note at the bottom of the box he picked it up and read.
"Gu Jun Pyo, I wanted to return all these to you because they are of no use to me anymore, even though there's nothing more between us now, I still hope you can live a good life.
If possible let's meet again in our next life and God willing we might be lovers and fulfil all the dreams which we couldn't fulfil in this lifetime.
I'm sorry for hurting you, I didn't mean to hurt you but I had to, I hope that one day you'll be able to understand me, I've always had your best interest at heart and I always will.
I wish you a happy life with your fiancee.
Su Min.
Sobbing uncontrollably he pushed all the things on the table away.
"Why?! Why did you come back?! Why?!!
"I was starting to live my life properly. I have completely moved on from you. Yes I have! "My Life is perfect without you! Look I'm the best I can be now. "I really have moved on from you". Jun Pyo chanted, trying hard to convince himself.
"I really have!!! "Look, I even became a responsible man. I am living better without you.
"Why did you return?! He shouted, sending everything on his table flying.
"Are you okay sir?" Chi Yun Hee asked, as she rushed in to see what was going on. Looking at the state of the office, She was shocked. "He was fine few minutes ago, What happened to him so suddenly? She thought.
"GET OUT!!!....
Startled from his loud scream, she jumped out. "My Gosh, I almost got a heart attack. What is wrong with him?"
Jun Pyo puts his head on the table and placed the note in his chest pocket as he drifts back to their last conversation.
.......
Four years ago.....
*The Love Garden...
The Love garden is a Café which has a beautiful garden full of beautiful flowers of different type and is a place strictly for rich people in Country A.
Jun Pyo entered the Cafe and he saw her sitting in her favourite corner.
"Hey, Su Min why did you suddenly ask to meet here today Huh?" Tomorrow is supposed to be our date isn't it? Why did you prepone it? Gu jun pyo sat beside and chuckled. "Don't tell me you miss me already. Jun Pyo said, pinching her nose as he pulled her closer to him.
Su Min smiled half heartedly and said, "Do you still need to ask? don't you know how much I always Miss your naughty face and this long nose of yours? She also pinch his nose slightly.
"Ouch!! why did you pinch my nose?
"You pinched me first.
"No I didn't!!
"Yes you did!
"Really? did I? He asked feigning innocence
She nodded slightly and pouted, "It hurts".
"Sorry My Love, You are just too sweet that I couldn't resist doing that." He pinched her cheek and said "It's because you are so cute and I love to pinch every part of you.
"You know Su," Gu Jun pyo suddenly said. There is a dream I have been nuturing for a while now and I can't wait to achieve it". Do you know what it is?"
"No, I don't. Su Min shook her head.
"Should I tell you?
"Hmm."
"My dream is to build an empire in your name Su, I want to show the world how much you mean to me. I want to tell the world that I became what I am because you loved me. Then we g'll get married and have three to four kids. And when they have grown and are old enough to handle the business, I'll hand over the business to them and travel around the world with you till we grow old. Gu Jun Pyo paused and look at her. "How does that sound?"
"Why would you want that? she asked more like a whisper to prevent him from hearing the crack in her voice.
"Huh?" Jun Pyo furrowed his brow.
He was joking at first but hearing her question threw him off balance. "Does she doubt my love for her?" He thought. before replying, "Is that even a question?" It's Because I love you Su." Gu Jun Pyo smiled. "Your love made me a better person and gave me strength to face the world."
"Don't Love Me please." Su Min cried.
"Why would you say that?" Jun Pyo was surprised by her words. "Besides, whether I love you or not is not for you to decide. Gu Jun pyo shrugged. "You know that I have loved you since the day I first set my eyes on you, I loved you before I knew the meaning of love. You taught me the meaning of love". He cupped her Cheek. "You know Su, I loved you then, I love you now and I'll love you forever," Jun Pyo declared. Then suddenly he stood on the cafe table and screamed "I love you Su Min"
Su Min suddenly couldn't control her tears anymore and she wept profusely.
Seeing her in tears, he step down from the table and asked "Why are you crying Su? "Aren't you happy?" Don't you love me anymore? He paused and kissed her cheek. "Even if you don't want to tell me you love me I know you do, and I am willing to wait for y....."
"Don't wait for me." Su Min cuts in. "Please, Do not wait for me. Don't love me so much, Jun Pyo, I don't deserve your love." I am just not worth it".
"That is not for you to decide, you know! Jun Pyo replied slightly angry at her for demeaning herself.
"I already loved you since a very long time and you know it, so why are you being like this all of a sudden?" What is wrong with you today? Jun Pyo took her hand and kissed it. "How could you say that to me?" You know I loved you even before I knew the meaning of love, and you are more worthy of me than I am of you."
Suddenly as if possessed by a demon, She stood up abruptly and yanked his hands away from her.
He looked at her, puzzled and surprised at her reaction and wanted to ask her what was really wrong but the word got stuck in his throat at her word
"Gu Jun Pyo, Let's Break Up!!
"What?!!
"Let's..Break..up" She repeated, word for word.
Trying his best to keep calm He asked, "Why?!
She closed her eyes to avoid his pain filled gaze. "Because, I realized we are not meant to be. Your world is too vast and I don't want to wander.
"What?! You must be kidding, Right?" He asked looking into her eyes. When she didn't reply he realised that she was serious. "What the f*ck Su?! You are breaking up with me for that?" Is that even a reason to break up?!!
Not knowing what else to say, she turned her back on him and said, "Jun Pyo from this point onwards let's part never to meet again." And just like that she left.....
