The winter wind is blowing,
The sound of the wind coming into my ears,
But my heart began to beat harder than the wind.
It feels like my heart is racing in a marathon right now.
"Will you, Enna?" voice in such tension for fear of being rejected. Enna didn't answer yet. she bowed her head and sigh "I had a friend. we was supportive to each other. He was a mentor to me. But he left the country a few years ago. After that I never had friend." Enna didn't want to admit his friendship but Enna was so desperate to talk to him. She finds peace around him which she was looking for from many years. "Are you sure you want to be my friend?" "Should I think of it as a positive answer?" with a satisfied smile on his face. Enna looked at him and they were smiling brightly. Enna became shy, Enna turned her head to see nature. They sat there for a while and then started walking towards Enna's house.
While walking "Can I ask you something?" "Yes." "How did your parents die?" Voice lower and nervous. Enna didn't react for a few seconds. "So-Sorry if thi~" "I am 11 years old. My brother Victor 1. My grandmother has been with us since I was born. It was their 13th anniversary. I was very happy. I forced them to celebrate it together, I promised them I would take care of Victor and Grandma. They went out for a dinner and on their way back they had a car accident." guilt in her voice, eyes wet, it looks like pearl in her eyes. "My happiness turned to sorrow in an instant. I just promised to take responsibility for that night but it turned out to be a lifetime." Byul felt very upset because his question upset her "I'm so sorry Enna. I didn't want to hurt you. I'm so stupid. I'm sorry please~" "No, don't be sorry. It's totally ok. I believe in fate and it was in my fate" a small smile on her. Byul was confused as to how anyone could be so strong.
"why don't you call me by my name? " "Umm?" confused . "Like I call you by your name Enna. So why don't you?" "You look older than me. I should respect you. Calling you by your name, wouldn't that be part of shamelessness?" raised an eyebrow, as if she wanted to, but for manners she couldn't.
"Yeah I'm 23 and you look like 19" Enna wondered "How?Are you an astrologer?" smiling on her cute face, walking while looking at the sky "There is a lot to know about me Enna." "And age is just a number. We are friends now. Call me by my name. I would be very happy if you do this." "I look forward to hearing from you, By-Byul"
closed her eyes in hesitation and head bowed. Byul heard his name from her and his heart was pounding so fast. He was feeling the butterfly in his stomach.
Days were passing like the winter breeze. it was fast, cold but at the same time it was prettier and warmer than spring.
They continued to meet in the park at 7pm. Enna goes to the park every day and finds Byul is waiting on the same bench. Byul was loving to hear her. He was discovering all her qualities. She was humble, responsible, pure-hearted, courageous, strong and Byul began to like her presence.
On the other hand, Enna was very happy to have Byul in her life. She feels peace whenever she sees him, her eyes shining with joy, finally there is someone to talk to, sharing her day. She had never felt something like this before. She was busy in her life, work, studies and responsibilities. She had a discipline to maintain. She never talked to her family about her day. She never told them about those bullying happened to her cause she didn't want to bother them.
But now, she waits to see Byul, to talk to him about her day, to spend some time with him. She looks at the watch all day and waits for 7 o'clock. And when it is 7 o'clock in the evening and she goes to the park and sees Byul sitting, her happiness knows no bounds.
Oneday they were sitting on a bench Enna nervously asked "What do you do, Byul? I mean how do you manage to meet with me every day?" Byul was smiling, after few seconds " Just the way you manage. After my work. I work in a entertainment company nearby as a staff and my work finished at 6. After that I come here and wait for you" "Are you waiting 1 hour here to see me every day?" stared in surprise. "I can wait here all day to see you, Enna." He turned his head to look at her and Enna was already looking at him.
another day passed by, they were walking towards Enna's home. Those girls no longer bully her because Byul was always there with her. "What's your dream, Enna?" "I finished my school. This is my vacation. I dreamed of studying at London Fashion School but it is very tough and I have a lot of responsibilities. So I'm trying for colleges here." Byul wondered "Oh! London fashion school! Wow! Please try there too, I believe in you." Byul words touched Enna's heart. Byul said those words casually. But it was too much for her because no one showed believe in her.
A few days later Byul arrived late at the Park. Enna waited anxiously for him and walked desperately to the edge of the pond. Byul looked at her from a distance and quietly reached behind her. Enna felt his breath, on her hair and turned back to look. She was falling into the pond when she took a turn but Byul grabbed her by the waist and pulled her towards him. Enna was hearing his heartbeat, Enna's hand was on his chest. Byul's breath was falling on Enna's lips. Their noses were brushing with each other and Byul's eyes were on Enna's eyes. They didn't realize how close they were until Enna gently pushed him back.
They were feeling awkward to talk but Byul took a step "Sorry, it was a busy day. You must have waited a long time for me." "No, Byul. It's fine. You wait so long for me every day. It is nothing compared to that." "But I was scared of you because you were never late. But now you're in front of me, so I'm fine." pleasure in her eyes.
Byul had never seen her like this before. He was finding beauty in her personality and he got it too. But never saw her this close and this way. Her eyes were beautiful. Byul can see them all the time. Those eyes always try to tell him something. Her skin wasn't tanned. It just looks tanned due to neglect of care. Her lips were like red rose petals. Her little nose looks so pretty on her. Those black hairs fell on her eyes that took Byul to a different place.
Not even realizing that, Byul began to lose his heart.
