Chapter 4 - Tangled Paths

..

Both girls were in a rush . Because they were late to the party. But luckily , when they entered to the owner's home, birthday party hadn't begun. 

The owner, Mrs. Han warmly welcomed them.

🌼I was waiting for you. Oh Miss Kim. I thought you won't be able to come today. I'm so happy to see you.

🦢Ah! Happy birthday Ahjomma. This is gift from me. And you can call me as Yeon Soo. 

🌼Ok dear. Then I will go to welcome others.

🐥Oh! When do you cut the cake? I'm just hungry now.

🦢 Yah! Why are you shouting. Shhh! Someone will hear you.

🐥Why?? I just came here to eat.

After sometime the party was begun. Mrs. Han cut the cake. All of them sang the birthday song .

Happy birthday to you!

Happy birthday to you!

Happy birthday dear Mrs han

Happy birthday to you.

All of them were happy. After a few minutes, 

🐥 Yeon Soo! I'm hungry now. Oh! There's a a lot of sweets. I want to taste them. You come with me?

🦢Ahhh! I'll eat later.

🐥Ok . No problem.

Then suddenly, everyone in the party was silent. All the eyes were at the entrance. Yeon Soo was shocked. Oh ! It was Won Shik. 

🦢 " If Won Shik is here, Taecyeon will come too." Yeon Soo thought. 

🐱Hi guys. Why are you silent? 

Oh! My dear aunt. Happy birthday! You're very pretty today.

🌼Oh! You're embarrassing me. Thank you son for visiting me.

🐱Why are you thank me? It's My responsibility.

They warmly hugged each other.

But there was one who didn't care or notice about this sweet boy's cameo. Yeah. You thought it right. It was our Sandy. She was enjoying her food.

After sometime , Won Shik saw a girl with black color short hair is eating sweets with a mischievous smile. He stepped towards her .

🐱 Hi dear. I think you will want someone's help to finish those.

Sandy was startled by his voice. "Who's this? Is he calling to me? But why?"

🐱 Are you deaf? You can't hear me? 

Sandy smirked at him.

🐥Ah! You are thinking you're a catch? But those tricks are not going for me. Try another.

Then suddenly music started. Everyone else started dancing. But Yeon Soo was in her imagination world alone at the garden.

....

At once Won Shik grabbed Sandy's hand and brought her to the center. And came near to her and whispered.

🐱 If other tricks aren't working for you, I'll try my best.

🐥 What?

Won Shik started dancing with her. All the people around them were cheering for them.

.....

🦢 Where's Sandy? I want to go home back. 

Oh! Is it Sandy who is dancing with Won Shik. What happened? Are they dating?

Yeon Soo sat near the snack table watching them. 

.....

While all of them were happy, Taecyeon was in a big trouble. He was involved into a fight with gangsters who were sent by the chairperson of Shin group.

At last Yeon Soo called Sandy to go home. But she wanted to stay more. So Yeon Soo left alone from Mrs Han's place. 

She was on her way to home. She was still lost in her imagination. Suddenly a man who was in a rush bumped into her. It was the time she came back to real world.

🦢 I can see him now in front of me. Am I dreaming?

☠ What do you mean? Please side away.

🦢 Ah? Sorry. But why are you in a rush. I saw Won Shik was at a party. Why didn't you come?

☠ None of ur business. Don't dare to involve in my life.

🦢 Don't be angry. I... I just asked you.

☠ I can't stand people like you who show false kindness.

🦢 Taecyeon, I'm not like that. Why...?

☠ Ha! Move away. I don't want to see your face again.

🦢🥺

Yeon Soo turned back to go home. She walked away from him with a broken heart.

🦢" It's not the first time I was scolded. Why I'm crying? Why can't I stop my tears? After all he's just my patient" Yeon Soo thought.

Taecyeon was looking at the girl with his rude eagle eyes.

It was around 1.00 a.m. Sandy was still not home. Yeon Soo went to sleep. But she wasn't able to get a sleep because she remembered the cruel words of taecyeon.

🦢 Is this love? Is that why I can't sleep? 

Yeon Soo cried looking at the moon.

At that time, Taecyeon was also in his bedroom. He was looking at the moon with sad eyes. 

☠ Why does it hurt, after blaming her? Was I too much? Taecyeon was tahinking alone.
