"Somin. Where are you? I'm here waiting in front of AK school." Rayan shouted on the phone. He came out of his car and looked around but there was no sign of Somin. They have something to discuss about business. She told him to wait in front of Ak International School.
"I'm coming."
Rayan sighed. He hung up the call and put his phone back inside his pocket. The school is finished today. The students were coming out of the gate.
Rayan took his sunglasses off from his eyes as a soft smile curved his lips. The memories of his school life started to play in his mind. His school life was really great because of a woman. The first meeting with her, talking with her, falling for her, everything was so magical. She came into his life and changed everything almost instantly.
"Uncle.."
Rayan got his senses back when a little girl pulled his jacket. He lowered his head and looked at the girl. "Do I look like a
10 years ago..."Young Master!" The maid mewed after bowing and entering Rayan's room. His dangerous expression made her body trembled in fear. He has an argument with his father a while ago.Rayan who was sitting on his easy chair glanced at the maid before leaning his head on the chair again. "What?" His voice was so dangerous.The maid lowered her head. "You have a call." She said with a soft voice."Who is it?" Rayan asked as he closed his eyes."Haerin." The maid replied.Rayan creased his forehead. "Who is that?"The maid clenched her jaw. "She said she is your girlfriend."Rayan immediately stood up as his eyes and mouth dropped open. "Who received the call? dad, mom, or you?" He asked anxiously."I received the call." As the maid replied, he let out a relieved sigh and pressed his palm on his chest. "Gosh! Thank God. dad or mom didn't. But how did she get the number of my house?" He gritted his teeth. He has many girlfriends, but none of them dare to call his house's number.Ra
Present.... "Minuk. Lopa. Don't fight." Anne shouted at her friends who were fighting in the hallway. Lopa looked at Anne. "Didn't you hear he called me fatso?" She shouted, wiping her tears out. Anne sighed and nodded. "I heard. But you should've just ignored him if you don't like it. It's not cool to fight. You're a cool girl, right? Ignoring the things you don't like is the coolest thing." She tried to calm her down. Then she turned to Minuk. "And Minuk. If she is a fatso. What are you? If you don't like her, then don't look at her. Did she force you to look at her?" She asked angrily. Both of Lopa and Minuk was quiet now. Anne is the class captain. She is so smart and has a good sense of humor. "Don't fight. Okay? I'll go now." She said before leaving. - "Am I going to pick you up from this school every day? Is it my new
10 years ago..."If in two circles, arcs of the same length subtend angles 60° and 75° at the centre, find the ratio of their radii." Crystal sighed and looked at the person who was sitting in front of her.She is bored already, but he looked so energetic. He must be crazy, how can he love maths? She doesn't think even who invented maths, didn't love maths.Rayan took a glance at Crystal who looked helpless and laughed softly. He took the notebook from her and drew two circles on it. "Let the radii of the two circles be r1 and r2." He paused and looked at Crystal, she was staring at the circled and listening to him attentively.A smile curved his lips. "Let an arc of length l subtend an angle of 60° at the centre of the circle of radius r3... Then let...." He continued.Crystal's lips parted when he finished. "It's so easy." She smiled heartily. "You're just wow." They were in a classroom. Rayan told her, he'll help her in maths, he was helping her after school.Rayan grinned and gave
10 years ago....Seven days before the Midterm...Empire High School"You're late. Like Daniel." Nick said to Rayan when he entered the class. Rayan used to come first these days. He looked expressionless. Maybe, he is angry!Rayan threw his bag on the table. "I know." Nick sat in front of him and looked at him. "What's wrong?"Rayan sighed and put his hands on the table, resting his head. "It's been 3 days. I'm ignoring her. She didn't even come in front of me." I miss her. I'm missing her so damn much. I'm dying without seeing her face. Her smile.Why am I ignoring her? For these jerks. They told me to ignore her. Nick said if I ignore her she'll come to me and confess. Liars.John held his laughter in and pressed his hands on his mouth. Nick sneered. "Is it you or she? I think she is ignoring you."Rayan put his head up and glared at his friend. "Why would she?" He mumbled.John turned his head to Rayan. "You said she blushed whenever you're closer to her. She smiled frequently when
"Mom?" Anne rolled on the bed as she looked at her mother who was lying beside her.Crystal titled her head to her side. "Yeah?""Can I ask one question about dad?"Crystal lips curled up with a smile at the same time her heart ached although she nodded.Anne kept quiet for a while before pulled herself closer to her mother, hugging her affectionately. "How was dad to you? Good? Or harsh?"Crystal eyes welled up hearing her question. Was he good to her? No he wasn't just good. No one has been good to her as he did.----10 years ago...Next day at Empire High SchoolCrystal was walking with Sunbin beside the badminton court. It's their P.E. class. It's the last class before the lunch break. Alex was playing basketball."So did he say something?" Sunbin asked Crystal while walking.Crystal clenched her jaw. "Who?" She asked confusingly."Rayan ." Sunbin winked at him. "I think he likes you." She grinned seeing her blush.Crystal glared at her. "Stop talking nonsense. I'll go to the wash
Present... Rayan turned the next paper and signed on the papers without even reading a single word of it. "Here." He gave it to Mr Joon who was standing in front of him. Mr Joon glanced at the paper he was giving him before he looked at Rayan again. "Sir wants you to read these papers first." Rayan threw the papers on the table and laughed sarcastically. "Why does my father want me to read these papers? What if I don't agree with these contracts? There is no value of my agreement or disagreement." He was annoyed by his father, frustrated by his decisions on him. Mr Joon didn't reply to him. He took the papers and bowed before leaving the room. Rayan sighed and put his hands on the table, resting his chin on his hands. Last night, Nick and John didn't let him drink, so he couldn't sleep at night. He was thinking about so many things the whole night. He is so sleepy now a
Children Grand Park"Mr Joon. Tell me why are we here? Why do they want to meet me here? Ahh.. Really! Are they kidding me?" Rayan asked Mr Joon frustratedly, shoving his hands inside his pockets.Mr Joon glanced at his watch and then at Rayan. "They're here for their children. They tell your father to choose a place to meet. But your father let them choose the place. They said they'll be here in 10 minutes." He said with a smile.Rayan sighed. "He knows I don't like kids." He slumped on a bench beside him, rolling his eyes around, watching the kids coming with their parents happily. They were laughing, playing, enjoying. He doesn't like kids because like other kids he didn't have a good experience when he was a kid. He was envious of them, he wanted to have a great childhood like them. But he didn't. Their parents didn't have time for him back then too.Mr Joon felt his pain and patted his shoulder. "You have terrible memories from your childhood, horrific memories that no one should
The car stopped in front of Park Mansion. As the driver opened the door, Rayan stepped out of the car and heaved a deep sigh. He rolled his eyes around. There were many people wandering around. They were invited by Rayan's father. It's obvious.He glanced at his watch before entering the house. He handed his coat to the maid and then he rushed to his father's room."You should ask for permission before come in." Richard Parker glanced at Rayan when he came without permission. He was doing something on his laptop, seeing Rayan he closed the laptop.Rayan looked at his father, expressionless. "Why should I ask for your permission? Did you ever ask for my permission in any decision of my own life?" He threw a newspaper which he was holding on the table. "Explain this."Richard glanced at those papers and then looked at his son. "Isn't it true? Why do you need me to explain this?"Rayan sat on the chair in front of him and laughed with disbelief. "You planned everything from before. And wh
Dear diary, How long has it been? 13 years? No, to be exact it's 13 years 6 months and 4 days. I remember the first day we met in the canteen. A coincidence encounter brought us together and changed our life. We talked, we laughed, we fought. No, it was never a fight. I yelled at him. Because he never fights back. Whenever I get mad, he just smiles. Everything was going perfect between us. But one day a simple misunderstanding broke us apart. We cried. We suffered. And fate binds us together again. With our Unexpected Love: Anne. Everything just felt like yesterday. The day he was shot by the gun and was in the OT's bed in front of me. The day I was asking one day from him as my birthday present and he was ready to give me forever. The day when I decided to throw myself into his embrace again. The day when I let him slip the ring around my finger. That was the day when our happy love story be
Five years later.... (Trevi Fountain, Rome)"Aysha, don't run fast. Wait for me." Anne shouted from behind as she chasing her little sister.Little Aysha looked at her sister and smiled sweetly. "Anne, water." She pointed her tiny finger to the beautiful water fountain.Anne grasped her tiny hand and kneeled in front of her. "Yes. This is the Trevi fountain. Dad said most of the tourists will definitely come here to toss a coin."Aysha looked at her curiously. "Toss a coin?"Anne nodded. "According to the legend of Rome’s most famous fountain, the main reason for tossing coins into the Trevi is based on local lore that states doing so will bring you back to Rome again, someday."Aysha's eyes started shining, she looked back at her mother and father. "Mom, let's toss coins. I want to come back here again."Crystal smiled as she took out some coins from her purs
Six months later....Rayan was hugging Anne in his arm with Crystal snuggled close to him in a comfy swing at the balcony."When will the vacation end? I miss school so much." Anne pouted her lips sadly.Rayan looked down at his daughter with his gaze narrowed. "You miss school or you miss Kyungsoo?" He asked with a sour tone.Crystal laughed and hit his arm softly. "Stop being ridiculous.""But dad is right. I miss Kyungsoo." Anne smiled cheekily.Rayan let out a heavy sigh before he smiled. "You already like him so much?" He asked, looking at his daughter.Anne nodded and looked at his father. "I secretly called him with your phone yesterday. He was worried about me and gave me all the notes for the exam."Rayan scoffed with disbelief before he turned to Crystal. "That boy is really good at courting girls. He better be loyal and good to my girl or
Three months later...."Somin." Crystal gave her a smile when she entered her room. Her eyes dropped at her big stomach. "The baby is healthy?"Somin nodded and sat beside her on the bed. "Mom and baby both are healthy. What about you? Daniel said you have a fever."A deep sigh escaped Crystal's lips. "Even he knows that? Ah, Rayan! I'm totally fine, it's just because of the weather. And my husband is worried to death. He is really an annoying husband."Somin laughed. "He loves you a lot." She paused and put her hand on her hand. "He should. Who'll not love a woman like you? 8 years ago you fought with everything just to save his baby. I understand now because I'm pregnant. I wonder how did you survive alone."Crystal's lips curved with a soft smile. "Your husband has changed you a lot. I think you're in love with him already?"Somin nodded. "I'm." She then averted her gaze from her
1 month later in Hokkaido...."Ahh. Dad..." Anne screamed when her father threw a big piece of snowball towards her. She tried to stand up but the surface was so slippery and she fell on the snow again.Rayan laughed at her daughter's clumsiness as he ran towards her and held her hand to help her out. Instead of getting up, Anne pulled him down and Rayan fell on the snow beside her."You..." Rayan scowled. Anne giggled as she picked up a snowball and threw it to her father. Rayan quickly jerked to the side and avoided the snowball. He sat and pulled Anne into his arms and kept tickling her. Anne couldn't help but started laughing. "Dad. Haha. No. stop. Haha." Seeing her laughter, Rayan laughed.Crystal who was standing in front of the cottage porch laughed at them. "You kids better be careful, don't hurt yourself." She reminded them."Mom, come here and play with us." Anne shouted with a wide smile
When Crystal opened her eyes, she was already in the hospital bed. Rayan was sitting beside her. He looked so anxious still now. Her head wasn't spinning anymore. But she was feeling weak.Crystal pulled herself up in a sitting position and looked at Rayan. "Are you okay?" She asked Rayan with a soft voice. He didn't look good.Rayan didn't answer her, he cupped her face. "Are you okay? What happened to you?" He asked worriedly.Crystal averted her gaze from him to Yejin who was now standing beside the door. "Congratulations." She mouthed the word as her eyes met Crystal's and pulled Alex outside with her.Alex clenched his jaw when she closed her door. "What? Is she pregnant?"Yejin released his hand and nodded. "She is.""Do you think she'll be okay this time? She was so weak last time." Alex said worriedly.Yejin turned her head to him. "Are you still not over he
"Congratulations dude. The DNA matched. You're going to be a father." Rayan gave Daniel a friendly hug and patted on his back.Daniel grinned. "Thank you, dude." He was so happy when he saw the 100% matched result of the DNA test."I want an abortion."Hearing what Somin said just now, Everyone in the room turned their head to her, stunned. Daniel's face went pale, the smile on his face has vanished now. "Why?" He asked, shocked.Somin who was sitting on the hospital bed with her head resting on the headboard frowned. "Why? Am I crazy? Why do I keep your baby in my stomach and suffer?""The suffering is worth, Somin. Don't kill an innocent life." Crystal said as she entered the room."You're saying that because you have a baby with Rayan whom you love and he loves you too," Somin said while avoiding her gaze. She didn't know why she wasn't prepared to meet her gaze. "Can you two ple
"I didn't know my husband can sing too. His voice can beat any singer's voice. Why didn't he become a singer?" Crystal smiled as the dewy grass was cool against her barefoot, dark green and glossy, gently fluttering in the breeze.Rayan let out a soft and walked behind her in the grass. "His wife was the one who has made him fall in love with music. She used to give him a bundle of music's list." He remembered those days very clearly.Crystal stopped walking and took steps back to him. She snaked her arm around his arm and looked at him. "You're glowing so much today just like the sun." She put her palm on his face, bringing his face closer. She kissed his chin softly. "And so delicious."Rayan widened his eyes in surprise. "Madam. What's wrong with you today? So touched by today's surprise?" He leaned and kissed her lips.He was about to pull away when Crystal grabbed his hair and pulled him closer, kissing and suc
Crystal parked the car in front of the Han river park and took her phone from her purse before getting down from the car. It's still dark, and so cold. She wrapped her scarf around her and rolled her eyes around.The pathway was dense with rows of cherry blossom trees. The late winter breeze made her legs numb though it was quite refreshing with the touch of the pleasant smell of the trees and flowers. The place was so peaceful at this hour. Obviously, who will come here now?Her phone beeped. She opened the chat on her phone.From: RayanWalk straight and then turn your left.Crystal sighed, inhaling the cool spring air, the fresh scent of flowers passing through her lips and into her lungs.The petals were almost covering the ground in irregular clusters. There were street-lamps stood beside those trees, arching over the silvery road because of the fog, illuminating the way.
