Eunbi hits Taekwang many times and says, "nappeun nom!"

Taekwang let her hit him and hug her.

"Mianhae."

She cry in his arm and her punch becomes slower than before.

He caresses her hair and let her cry. He says, "hit me many times you want. I deserve it. Punches me as hard as you can so I know this is not a dream." He hugs her tight.

"I miss you so much" said him again

She cannot stop cry. He push her gently and looks at her face. He wipe her tears and says

"Let me take a look of you. How is this possible? You're getting more and more beautiful."

"Ya! You and your sweet talk. I'm still not forgiving you yet."

"Ara. How's everything?"

"I tell you later. Just let me hug you again for awhile."

She hugs him tightly. Taekwang teases her and says, "ya! Do you miss me that much?"

"Ani. I just need to rest for a bit before I hit you more."

"Ya!"

She releases her hug and says, "so are you back for good?"

He sighed and says, "ani. My flight to New york is next week."

"Wae? Can't you stay?"

"Do you want me to stay?"

"Ne. I don't want you to leave again."

"Mianhae. But give me time okay, I'll find away. I don't think I'll be able to stay away for you again."

"Promise?"

"I promise."

Suddenly his stomach is growling.

"Are you hungry?" Eunbi said with her concerned voice

"Hehe mianhae. I haven't eat since breakfast. I was doing reports for my company."

"Aigoo.. let's find something to eat."

She holds his hand and they go to a restaurant near the playground.

He can't stop looking at her. It makes her blushed.

"Ya! Gong Taekwang. Stop staring at me!"

"Hehe.. did I creep you out?"

"A little bit"

"Hehe mianhae. I'll stop. So.. tell me everything. Are you married yet? A boyfriend maybe? Are you living in seoul? How about your job?"

"Ya ya! One by one. I feel like you interrogated me."

"Hehe mianhae."

"I'm a teacher now. At my old school in Tongyeong."

"Daebak! I'm really jealous of your student, they have great teacher."

"It's not easy though but it's indeed rewarding."

"And marriage? Boyfriend?"

"Do I need to answer that? I meant it's obvious isn't. If I do have one, I won't hug you like that."

"True true.."

"And how about you? Any..?"

"Ya! Every single day is like hell for me. I miss you so much. I make myself busy so I don't have to remembering us."

"You miss me that much huh?"

"Of course!"

She start to kick him and says, "then you should contact me, jerk!"

"Mianhae. I just don't want you to be sad because the long distance thing."

"This is more devastating than not knowing about you!"

"Mianhae..."

"This time I won't let you. If you do that again to me, I will hunt you down and drag you back to seoul."

"That's scary. You become like your sister. Ah cem, I met her at a cafe. She's with a guy. Who's that poor guy?"

"You met my sister?"

"Ne. It's by coincidentally. I plan to eat dinner than she was there. She hits me so hard. I asked where you were but she didn't tell me. But a guy who's with her, tell me where you are. I went to your home but no one answered. And I don't why, I feel like going to the playground and I found you."

"He's her boyfriend."

"What?! Someone wants to be her boyfriend? Did she threaten him or something?"

"Ya! That's my sister! They met in a radio station. My sister had an interview that day and he delivered documents for his aunt who's a producer of the show that my sister was in. They don't like each other at first but I don't know why suddenly they're inseparable. Maybe since his grandfather died, she's treated him differently after that."

"Poor guy. He probably makes huge sin in the past life."

They arrived at her house. They hesitated to let go of their hands.

"I'll be here at 9am tomorrow to pick you up okay?"

"You don't have to take me back to Tongyeong."

"But I want to spend time with you."

"Araso. Can I borrow your phone?"

"Here." He gives his phone to Eunbi. She takes it and see her photo in the phone as a wallpaper.

"You still have this photo? Isn't this when I'm still pretend as my sister?"

"Ne. Majayo."

"I can't believe you still have it." She said while pressing numbers on his phone. Few seconds later, her phone is ringing.

She says, "here. Save my number!"

"Hehe araso."

"From now on, you have to text me or call me or facetime me."

"I will. And you too, okay?" He pull her closely.

But from behind him, Eunbyul shouts at him.

"Ya ya ya! Stop it!"

Taekwang is surprise and release his hand from Eunbi.

"Annyeong!" Said Duk hwa

"Unnie! Duk hwa oppa."

"Annyeong haseyo." Taekwang greet him.

"You look happy." Tease Duk hwa to Eunbi

She smiles and nods.

"Ah mianhae. Where's my manner. I am yu Duk Hwa." He shake his hand to Taekwang's

"I'm Gong Taekwang."

"So are you her boyfriend?" He Asked nonchalantly

He looks at eunbi and she nods. He smiles and says, "you can say that."

"Finally!! I have friends to share my pain."

Eunbyul shout "Ya!"

Taekwang laughs and says, "I feel you. They hit so hard."

"I know right!"

"Ya! Jugule?!"

"Hehe mianhae. It's getting late, I'm going." Said Dukhwa

"Araso. oppa text me when you arrive. Ok? Let's go inside Eunbi. Eomma is waiting for us."

"Ne. Bye Taekwang." Eunbi said

"See you tomorrow morning."

"You're coming here again tomorrow? I thought you're going back to Tongyeong?" Eunbyul protests

"He will takes me to Tongyeong." Eunbi answered

"So Bongpal won't pick you up?" Eunbyul teased her

"Who's Bongpal?" Taekwang curios

"There's this tall guy who cares her a lot. He even gave her flowers as a birthday gift." Dukhwa said. He notice right away that Eunbyul wants to tease Taekwang

"What?! Who is he Eunbi ah?" Taekwang becomes more desperate.

"He's just a friend." Eunbi said

"The way I see it, I think he's more than that. You should be careful gong Taekwang, otherwise.."

"Ya! Don't listen to him Taekwang ah." Eunbi said

"But.."

"Hahaha.. c'mon." Said Eunbyul. She pull her sister. Taekwang still bewildered while Dukhwa laughs.

***

Taekwang and Eunbi is just arrived at Tongyeong. He helps Eunbi carrying her bag. When they're at her place, Bongpal is standing in front of the door. He was waiting for Eunbi.

"Officer Park?" She said

"Annyeong. Who is he?"

Bongpal look at Taekwang from his head to his feet.

"It must be him. He is indeed tall." Taekwang said with low voice

"Do you say something?" Bongpal asked

"Ah ani. Hi I'm Gong Taekwang." Taekwang said

"Park Bongpal." He said with cold voice

"Why are you here?" Eunbi asked Bongpal

"To see you. I wanted to pick you up at the bus station but you said you didn't take the bus. I thought your sister was the one who takes you here."

"I planned to take the bus but he insisted to take me here." Eunbi explained

"He did?" Bongpal curious.

"I did" Taekwang smirkingly.

There's an awkard moment. Eunbi look both of them and says, "I think I should go inside."

"Ah yes. Of course. Thank you for dropping her off. It's better for you to go back to Seoul at this hour so you won't face the traffic jam." Bongpal said while takes her bag from Taekwang.

Taekwang feels so annoyed and says, "Thank you for your concern but I am staying." He takes back the bag.

Eunbi feels a tension between them. She says, "Officer Park, thank you for coming here but I want Taekwang to stay a little bit more before he goes back."

Bongpal is surprise when he heard it. However Taekwang smiles proudly.

Bongpal feels dejected but he notices Eunbi seems different than before. She looks more lively than she used to be. He wonders if he is the one who made her like this. He conceded and says, "I'm going then. I'll text you okay."

Eunbi nods and they waved goodbye.

She enters her security code and enter the house. Taekwang is still smiling and put the bag.

"Ya stop your cocky smile!" Eunbi said to Taekwang

"Is he the one that Eunbyul and Dukhwa talked about?" He asked

"Ne! Majayo. He's a nice guy so please be friendly to him."

"Araso. I know how he feels. I had been in his position before. But should I be concerned about him? I meant he cares you a lot and he's here and I'm not.."

"Are you not that confident?"

He nods and says, "honestly I don't. I'm afraid that this is only a sweet temporary dream."

She looks at his sad eyes and puts her hands on his cheek, "should I hit you again to make you realize that this is not dream?"

"Ya! You know what I meant."

"Oh my Gong Taekwang, if only you know how miserable I am without you. Those 8 years were so painful. I tried so hard to be happy. And I know there are other people but I don't want them. I want you. I want us."

She hugs him and he caresses her hair. She continues saying, "I love you. Always."

He looks at her and lend close to her. She closed her eyes.

Suddenly her phone is ringing. They're surprised. They step back and she takes her phone. She picks up her phone and says, "ya. Unnie."

Eunbi says to Taekwang, "it's unnie"

Taekwang frowns and says, "ara. that witch and her timings are always..."
