Advertisement
Taekwang is strolling around town while Eunbi is teaching at her school. Today is his last day in Tongyeong before going back to Seoul. He's been staying at Tongyeong since he's coming with Eunbi.
He decided to go to a cafe in the city center and wait for Eunbi to come. He opens his laptop and starts working there.
Bongpal who was patrolling the area see him inside the cafe. He enters the cafe and goes to Taekwang.
"You still here?"
Taekwang looks at him and says, "ne."
"Why are you here?"
"Working."
"Ya! That's not I meant. Why are you still here?"
"Don't you have work to do? Can't you see that I'm little bit occupied?!" Taekwang said annoyingly
"Why are you still here?" Bongpal asked again
"Because I want to be with eunbi." Taekwang said firmly
"Until when?"
Taekwang sighs and stop his work. He says, " i'm going back to Seoul tonight. Satisfied? can I go back to work now?"
"Ani. Who are you? Eunbi never told me about you."
"You like her don't you?"
"Ne. Majayo. I like her. From the first time I saw her."
"We're the same then."
Someone is approaching them silently. Taekwang looks at her and says, "ya! You surprised me!"
"Go Eunbi?" Bongpal said
"Why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be in Seoul." Taekwang said
"Why are you still here?!"
"Ya!i haven't seen her for years, I am spending my limited time with her here."
"Wait.. why're treating her impolitely?" Bongpal asked
"See! Even him notice that you've no manners towards me."
"Because you deserve it!"
"Ya! Jugule?! Wait wait.. where did you stayed? Seolma.."
"Ne. Majayo. I.."
"With her?! Ya bicoso?!" She hits Taekwang many times
"Ya! It's hurt! Who do you think I am?! I stayed in hotel, not with her."
Suddenly from behind them.
"Unnie?!" Eunbi just arrived and approached them.
"Huh?! This is not you?" Bongpal seems bewildered
"Ne. I'm Eunbyul. We met before when you came to see my sister in Seoul." Eunbyul said
"Ya! How many times do you went out with him?" Taekwang asked Eunbi with his jealous voice.
"There have been so many. I just lose count." Bongpal answer.
Taekwang looks at Bongpal annoyingly.
Bongpal says, "you two look alike, I can differentiate between you two."
"It's okay, you're not the only one. It tooks time for people to recognize us." Eunbyul said
"Why are you here unnie?"
"I have a meeting in the government office here. I want to buy coffee before I go back and then I saw them. Hmm. I think I should go otherwise I will face the traffic."
"Have safe trip unnie."
"Bye."
Eunbyul left the cafe and go directly to her car.
Bongpal asked Eunbi, "did the school is over?"
Eunbi answers, "Ne. Are you patrolling this area?"
"Ne. Majayo. To make sure everything is safe."
"Why don't you two talk while I buy Eunbi a drink. Okay?" Taekwang said
"I can buy myself."
"Gwenchana. Just sit okay."
"Araso."
"Latte right?"
"Ne."
Taekwang left them and goes to cashier. He orders her drink.
Bongpal and Eunbi sits. Bongpal says, "He knew about you and your sister. He even can distinguish you from your sister. You must knew him from long time ago."
"Ne. Since high school. We're the same high school."

"No wonder. But you never talk about him. You talk about your friends, Shijin, Songjoo and Han Yi Ahn but never him."
"Mianhae. It's just too painful to talked about him."
"Do you like him?"
"Ne."
"I always knew that someone is in heart. You never look at me like you look at him."
"Mianhae."
"Gwenchana. At least now I can see your happy face. You always looked sad but not anymore."
"Gomawo."
"I think should go. I don't want my partner looking for me. Just say goodbye to him."
"Araso."
Taekwang is back when he's left.
"He's leaving?"
"Ne."
"Good. So how's your day?"
"It's okay. How about you?"
"Everything is going well until bongpal and your sister show up. Are you hungry?"
"A little bit."
"Let's find something to eat then."
"Okay. I finished this drink first."
Eunbi drinks her coffee and she has creamer near her mouth. Taekwang see it and he pull her chair towards him. He leans over and kiss her.
"It's sweet." He said
"Ya!"
"Let's go."
He offers his hand and Eunbi takes it.
After dinner, Taekwang drop Eunbi at her house.
"Call me okay." Eunbi said
"Araso."
Taekwang walks a step closer to her. Eunbi close her eyes and her mouth starts to moving. Taekwang giggles but he leans towards her. He puts a necklace on her neck. Eunbi surprised and open her eyes. She look at her neck and see a white gold necklace with three blue diamonds hanging at the bottom of a cloud.
"Happy birthday. Sorry for I gave it quite late."
"Gomawo."
"I actually bought it before I came here. I ask them to makes a necklace that represent your name. Rain. Do you like it?"
"Ne. I like it so much. It's beautiful." She kissed his cheek. Taekwang is smiling.
"I'm going then." He said
"Okay. Have safe trip."
"Ne. Good night."
He waves goodbye and walks towards his car. He open the door but then he turn around.
"I forgot something." He said while pull her closely. Eunbi is tip toeing her feet and lean to kiss him.
***
It's been months since Taekwang went back to New york. They're back to their own busy routine. It's not easy for them to overlook their distance but none of them wants to give up.
Eunbi has arrived at seoul. She plans to go to Yi Ahn wedding. She's going to the wedding with her sister and Dukhwa.
The wedding is beautiful. Yi Ahn looks so handsome in his groom suit while his wife looks stunning in hers. Both of them look very happy. Seeing them, remind her of her sweet high school memories. She made a choice of choosing him over Taekwang. Even though, Taekwang is the one who finally win her heart but she doesn't regret it. It because of the messiness that she created, she realize that it always been Taekwang that she yearned.
Eunbyul watch at the happy couple walk down the aisle. Somehow she looks sad, Dukhwa put his hand on hers. He assures her that he's there and everything will be alright. She looks at him and smile.
After the ceremony, Eunbi talks with others ot the lobby. They're planning their next meeting before she's back to Tongyeong again. Suddenly from behind, someone back hug her.
"Annyeong." He kissed her cheek
"Gong Taekwang?" She surprised
"Ya! Can't you not doing that to my sister?!" Eunbyul hit him

"Ya! It's hurt." He hides behind Eunbi back
"Wait! Wait! Are you with this crazy guy?" Shijin asked Eunbi
She nods and smile shyly
"Ya! How come? You never told us about this." Songjoo asked
"Mianhae. Why are you here?" Eunbi said
"To surprise you. You look nice by the way." Taekwang said
"I thought you're in Japan"
"Ne. Since japan and korea are not that far so I'm thinking to come here and take a flight back to New York from Seoul." Taekwang answered
"When is your flight?"
"Tomorrow night."
Eunbi frowned upon hearing his answer. Shijin then asks, "you're not living here?"
"Ani. I'm living aboard. I come here because of her." He answered and put his hand on her waist.
Eunbyul hits him again and said, "ya! Ya! Your hand!"
Taekwang releases his hand.
"I always thought that you two have something special. You've always been close. We should hangout sometime." Songjoo said
"Sure let's do that." Taekwang said
After they're saying goodbye to each other, Eunbi goes to Taekwang car.
In his car, Eunbi asked, "when were you arrived?"
"Few hours ago. I went directly to the wedding and arrived before the ceremony began. I met Yi Ahn and congratulate him in person."
"Why didn't you go inside?"
"Mianhae. I got calls from the office." He said while caresses her hands.
"You look tired."
"Gwenchana. I was tired but not anymore."
"You should rest."
"I will. Don't worry okay." He looked at her and smiles at her. He continues his saying, "should we do a detour? I want to be with you a little more."
"But.. you need to get some rest."
"Please. I will sleep in the airplane. I haven't see you in awhile and you look so cute tonight. Eunbi ah please.."
"Okay.."
They go strolling around at the park. They see the lantern festival near there. They walk while holding hands.
"It looks like you." Taekwang said
"Ya!" Eunbi protested
"Hehe mianhae."
It almost midnight when they arrived at her house. Taekwang hesitates to let her go.
"This is the part that I hate the most." He said to her
"Me too."
"Eunbi ah..hmmm.."
"What is it? I know you wanted to tell me something since we're in the car."
"I want to but I'm still contemplating. I am afraid that I'm too selfish by asking you this. The truth is I have this for few months." He said while take a small black box out from his pocket. He open the box and it's a beautiful diamond ring.
Eunbi looks surprise.
"My life was incomplete and then I met you. You took my breath away and when you're smile it's so hard to turn away. I fell for you before I even realized. I even didn't care when you weren't felt the same way. All I want is your happiness. But when I finally have you, I become greedy. I don't want to be separated again, I want to be with you. I'm sorry for being selfish but will you marry me? Come with me, I can't promise you that it will be easy but I promise you I will always be true to you."
"Can you give me time?"
"Of course. This is a big decision. You can have all the time you need."
"Pabo. When I said I need time is for telling the school and my family about this. I can't just leaving without saying goodbye to them."
"Huh?! So you're okay with this."
"I do love teaching but there's only one Gong Taekwang. And yes it's going to be sad when I have to leave. But it can't be compared when I can't be with you. Beside I can teach anywhere as long as you're by myself."
She smiles brightly. Taekwang is surprise.
He takes the ring and put it on her finger.
"Look it's fit. The ring is beautiful. You do have a good taste." Eunbi said
"You talk too much." Taekwang said and he pull her closely. He kiss her passionately and she kiss back.
***
It's raining, Taekwang and Eunbyul are sitting in the cafe.
"Why do you want to meet me?" Taekwang asked
"I will make it quick. Next week is the big day for you and Eunbi. She's my dearest sister and if you break her heart or make her suffer, I swear I will hunt you down. So If you can't make my sister happy, it's better for you to forfeit now than later. Do you understand?"
Eunbyul said firmly and her face is so scary. Taekwang knows that she's not joking. He always been afraid of her.
He says, "you don't need to worry. My best intentions are making her happy. I love her."
"You better keep your promise to her."
"I will."
She stands up and says, "I'm going then."
Taekwang stop her and says, "Go Eunbyul thank you for everything."
Eunbyul looks bewildered and asks, "what're you thank me for?"
"I know what you did. Dukhwa uncle, Kim Shin, told me everything. You're the one who asked Dukhwa for inviting my company to meet his company right? You know that I will find your sister when I have the opportunity. And you gave me that opportunity. You're really something."
"I visited his office and I saw your name in the proposal that lay on Dukhwa desk. I asked him about the project. They have several candidates and one of them is you. But since your company offer is quite high, it almost didn't make it. So I asked Dukhwa to give your company another chance. He's quite surprised when I asked it. Because I never meddled in his work and likewise. So I told him the reason and he understands. I don't know how he did it, but he made sure that your company will send you to seoul. From there, I know you will do the rest."
"How did you know?"
"Feeling I guess."
"I thought you hate me."
"I don't hate you. I just dislike you. Somehow I know that you will take someone important from me."
"Gomawo."
"Just don't make me regret it." She said and leave.
5 years later
Eunbi looks at the window and see snow starts to fall. She goes out from her office. She's wondering around the school. She sees the students and teacher in their class. The familiar hallway brings back the memories.
It's been a week since she's became a director in Sekang high school. They offer her the director position when she and her little family were back to Seoul three months ago. Taekwang decides to resign from his old job and open his own company in Seoul. Even though it's new company but the company is going really well.
Eunbi starts to reminiscing all the memories that happen in this school. Sekang high school always has special place in her heart. It's the first time she feels welcome. In this school, she made friends, had a crush with a school idol, made mistakes, and fall in love with the troublemaker. Even though she was pretend to be her sister at first but there's someone who always accept her and stay by her side. Taekwang is the first person who knew about the truth. He's always by her side and he's the first one who call my true name. She always thankful for what he did to her.
"Ya! I know that you will be here. You're thinking about me right?"
Taekwang walks towards her
"Ne. Majayo. I was thinking about you."
"Haha. I always like this rooftop."
"Me too. Why are you here?"
"I have meeting near here so I decided to see you and ask you to eat lunch together."
"Sure. Let me grab my bag first."
"Araso. Let's go buin." He takes her hand and they walk together.
"Ya! This bring back all the memories." Taekwang said while walking
"Ah wait." Eunbi said
"Something wrong?"
"I always want to do this here." She tip toeing and kiss his cheek. She says, "Gong Taekwang, thank you."
"Aigoo." He pinched her cheek gently
