“My boyfriend got me a really nice bracelet for our anniversary.”
“My boyfriend finally bought me a promise ring.”
“My boyfriend took me to Daegu on our 4th anniversary.”
“Uh-huh, you must be so so so so happy with your boyfriend and that long lasting relationship of yours.” I suddenly said out loud which caused an awkward silence in the air. The people from the other table looked at me with a sickening look.
I immediately took my phone and started talking really loud. Even though I can still hear them murmuring and whispering to each other. Gosh, what an embarrassment. What even is life? These times I just want the world to swallow me whole and never see the light of day again. But no life doesn’t work that day instead I am forced to sit here wherein the seconds feel like minutes and minutes feel like hours.
“Well, she’s just jealous of our relationships.”
“How pitiful. Must be going through a hard break up.”
“Yah, instead of meddling in our relationships why not find a life first or better yet a boyfriend.”
The group of girls said very loudly I might say which caught the attention of a few costumers and started murmuring once again. If not for my pride I would’ve left. But no, I didn’t leave, instead I sat down waiting and staring at my phone like it was the most interesting thing in the world.
Then the sweet chimes of the bells were heard signalling a costumer I looked up and saw the person I was waiting for, with a girl behind her. It made me confused.
Who was this girl and why have I not heard of her?
I stood up signalling them to come hear. I could hear the group of girls murmuring again.
“He’s handsome and the girl behind her must be her new girlfriend.
"She’s pretty. Makes sense why they broke up.”
Gosh, people these days surely don’t know what they are talking about. “Noona!” He called me and ran towards my table. Not to mention holding the girls hands. I looked at him with a questioning look.
“They must’ve broken up because the guy wanted someone younger.”
“This is some real tea here”
These girls just won’t stop meddling in my life. I choose to ignore them and came closer to the pair and gave them a big hug. “So, Jungkook who is this friend of yours?”
“Noona, stop embarrassing me. This is Hyejin.”
“Hyejin, I’ve heard many things about you but this is the first time I heard your name. You know I’m really happy that you made Jungkook’s heart beat. I never thought he would have a girlfriend earlier than me. I wish your relationship all the best.” I said with a genuine smile etched on my face. I am truly happy, at least one of us is lucky at relationships.
“Unnie, thank you so much for accepting our relationship. I heard Jungkook saying rude things about you. And I thought that you wouldn’t agree to our relationship. And I was a little bit worried that you would force me to break up with Jungkook.” She said shyly and looked down.
“What did Jungkook say? Care to tell me?” You said glaring at Jungkook.
“What noona, it’s true you always say no to the girls I’m courting so I thought you would say no to our relationship.” Jungkook said smugly.
“Well those girls you were courting before are well, they don’t look decent enough. But you, Hyejin. I like your vibe you seem sweet.”
Hyejin looked down and Jungkook looked away from my stare. After a few seconds of silence I finally spoke.
“Well I guess I’ll leave you two to your date. Jungkook call me if something happens. And drop of Hyejin after your date. I’ll go now love birds.” I stood up and left with a high head but after a few blocks ahead I went back from being happy and confident too being gloomy again.
I was wondering for a while then I stumbled across a park. I looked around for a while then decided to sit down. I looked at my bag and it was open. I saw a notebook that was not familiar and it clearly didn’t belong to me. I slowly took it out. The cover had the words ‘may your dreams come true’ written on it.
'What’s this a journal? A diary? Do I have a stranger’s diary?’ I flipped the pages but found nothing. It was blank, what am I going to do with this. I was completely puzzled out so, I decided to buy a few snacks. Because I can’t handle being hungry while thinking.
I inspected the notebook a few times and looked at it.
'Should I write something? What if my dreams do come true?’
'Or it could be a scam that gets u the hope of people.’
'It could be real? Should I try?’
'And look like a desperate fool, no. You are not going to write in the damn notebook.’
'It’s not like I would lose something just by writing.’
I shake my head from the thoughts forming in my brain. I was about to fight my own self if I has not stopped. Well it’s mine now, finders keepers, losers weepeers. I’ll definitely write something here. Just what should I write?
'What do I truly want? What am I longing for?’
I absentmindedly wrote something that I immediately regretted afterwards. My eyes widened like saucers. Did I just think of that? Oh no, this is a joke.
I hurriedly tried to rip the paper apart from the book but it was no avail. Am I that weak, I can’t even rip it off the book. I tried erasing it and scribbling over it but those methods failed. As far as scribbling goes it seems like I have ran out of ink and it won’t write anything at all.
What have I done? What did I do? Little do I know something big would happen. A loud clap of thunder was heard and rain started pouring.
'Great it started raining.’
