BROKEN PROMISE ?

[ Little Ji Eun's POV] (10 yrs. old)

I was here at my bestfriend's house. You know what ?

I'm a bit sad ...

Okay, I can't lie... I mean, I'm very sad right now it's because..............
"Ji Eun-ah", someone called me.

I look behind to see it was my bestfriend, Minwoo.

He ran towards me with his bright smile. I smile back to him.

"Minwoo, waeyo?", I asked him.

His smile suddenly turned upside down.

"We will gonna leave now", he said with a sad tone. They will going to live at United States

I just stare at him with a sad face showing him that I'm sad that he would leave me.

"Kaja!", he then grabbed my hand and dragged me somewhere.

"Why we're here?", I asked.

He dragged me to the park near at their house. "Are we going to play?", I asked innocently.

He shook his head and continue to pull me somewhere.

We stop infront of Sakura tree. It'snear at the park but it's like a hidden tree there.

He sit under the tree and patted the empty space beside him gesturing me to sit.

I sit beside him and just behave. I didn't bother to talk as my mind was totally can't think any topic that we can chat each other.

"Ji Eun-ah," he spoke but I didn't respond as I'm pretty busy looking at the falling leaves.

I'm not in the mood to talk. I just want to stay quiet while I'm with him.

Soon, I found myself crying beside him but still focusing on the faling leaves.

"Ji Eun-ah, gwaenchanayo?", he asked worriedly.

I just simply nod and look away.

"AIgoo... don't be sad. Don't worry I'll try to go back here again just for you", he said.

That made my face light up. I somewhat feel happy that he didn't leave me forever.

"Okay, this is our promise...", he started and face me.

"This Sakura tree will be ourmeeting place after 7 years. I will be hereafter 7 years and we will enjoy the whole day together", he promised and wipe my tears.

I nod happily and hug him. He hug me back that made me so happy.

"Arasso, let's go now. Your parents might be waiting for you", we stood up and head to the his house.

On our way back to their house he pull me and we enter to a store.

It was accesories store...

"Ji Eun-ah, what do you want ?, he asked and show me his clutching hands. I give him a puzzled look.

"This?", I point his right hand. He suddenly smile and open his hands.

Then, two rings appeared, it's like a couple ring. He open his left hand and it was a pair of bracelet.

I look at him in amazed.

(pictures are not mine^^)

"I want the bracelet", I said and point his left hand.

"nope. You already choose the ring", he chuckle.

"Aigoo...coup--- bestfriend ring is not bad", I smile *phew... I almost say 'couple ring' :D *

"Yeah...", he then pay it to the counter.

After that he put the ring on my middle finger since it didn't fit on my ring finger.

He wear his ring as well. It fits on his ring finger that why he wear it on there.

"Minwoo-ah, don't you want to hug Ji Eun?", his mom teased as we were already at their house.

Minwoo huged me immediately.

"Don't forget...after 7 years...naega galke..." he whisper on my ear.

I just smile and nod at him after the hug.

I try to smile and hugged him once.

Soon, his parents and him went inside their car as his father start the engine while me and my parents wave our hands to say goodbyes.

After 6 years...

I once check the internet and found my bestfriens Minwoo in any sites. Youtube, Google, Tumblr, Facebook, Twitter etc.

Well, he's a famous Kpop star now while me is an ordinary girl.

That's when I found out that they already go back here at Korea from United States.

I felt happy for him and I am proud to be his bestfriend. He really gained lots of fans as well as his bandmates.

Half of is quite sad and a bit worried that he forgot our promise.

I know being a star would be so exhausting because of the hectic schedules.

Does he still remember our promise? *sigh* I hope so...

I miss him so much. We don't have any contact to each other since he moved at the States while my family moved to our new house as well. *sigh*

I hope he will come on our meeting place next year, I prepare for it a lot.

I try to earn money so we can go to Lotte World or we can go picnic.

Aigoo.. whatever he wants.

"Ji Eun-ah, I snapped out of my thoughts as my mom called me.

I quickly go downstairs as I already know the reason why she call me.

DINNER TIME !!! There's nothing important things that happened, we just eat happily and had a little chit-chat after we eat.

Cha, cha kkedatgetjyo

I heard Boyfriend's song "I'll Be There" (Naega Galke).
I quickly run to the couch and watch their whole performance.
I enjot their performance, me and my parents clap our hands after it. hehehe...
All of them are so handsome but of course Minwoo is the most handsome ^^v
*Don't forget...after 7 years...neaga galke* his promise popped out on my mind again.
"Minwoo, I hope you still remember our promise", I mumbled.


After 1 year

This is the day !
I gladly took a bath and prepared myself to this wonderful day.
My parents didn't bother to ask me why I'm so happy since I already told it last week.
They just keep on teasing me. Aigoo... They know I love Minwoo since the first ^^

"Eomma.Appa. I'll go now", I shouted since I'm already at the door.They both nod.
"Okay, good luck on your date. Tell Minwoo I already miss him", my mom said. I just smile at her.
"Eomma, it's not a date" I said and go outside.
I was already outside of our house when I notce I forgot something.
*The basket!* I run again inside and take the basket that full of foods.
I prepapred all of the foods. It's for Minwoo.

I went to the park and place the mat on the grass.
I also set the foods and wait for Minwoo.
*Don't forget...after 7 years...neaga galke* it popped out on my head again.
I was there alone, waiting for Minwoo... I already prepare myslef once he arrived. *Just smile Ji Eun-ah*
I touch our friendship ring, but for me this is not just a friendship ring. For me, this is how I value Minwoo so much in my life.
I just can't say or confess this infront of him but the truth I love him more than a friend.
Yeah, since we became friends.
 I'm just afraid that if I confess that I love him he would just say...
"Sorry, I don't love you back" or worst...
"Sorry Ji Eun-ah... I love somebody else"
It reallly hurts, right ?
But I think, I already have the courage to say it to him. Once he showed up I would say that I love him since the first.

I open my eyes and realize that I already fell asleep under the Sakura tree.
It was almost sunset but still he's not here.
I look around to find no signs of Minwoo even his shadow.
I also notice that I'm the only one there in the park was still staying there.

I wait him for another hour. I wait him after the sunset but he never showed-up.
That's when my tears starts to fall down.
Minwoo, the one who made the promise that after seven years we will both meet at this tree.
"He broke his promise" I mumbled while I keep on crying.
"He totally forget me..."

I left there crying for almost 15 minutes.
I look at the basket as I return all the foods inside.
How I wish I could all of this with you...
How I wish I could spend this day with the person I love...
You don't have one word. You broke your promise.
You disappointed me, Minwoo. You disppoint me.

I quickly stood up while tears were still flowing on my cheks.
I remove our friendship ring and put it on the top of the basket.
I don't want to wait here for a long time that I know it will just end on waiting for nothing.
I don't hate him, but he made my heart broke asfter he didn't showed up on our promise.
I'm heart broken beacuse of him. Because of Minwoo.

I took a last glance on the Sakura tree leaving the beasket and the ring under it. I run away, I can't help but to cry.
*I love you, Minwoo-ah. I hope you don't forget that anymore.*


[Minwoo's POV]
I keep on checking my watch. Urghh.. it was almost evening.
Our choreographer still don't want us to go somewhere as he told us we still have to practice for our next album.
GAWSHH !!! I still have an important thing to do !!!
After another practice, we had a break.
*Ji Eun-ah, I hope you didn't forgot our promise* I hope while touching our ring.
Finally, I got the chance to excuse myself so I can go now to our meeting place.
I quickly run outside the studio and ride on a taxi.
*I hope she still didn't forgot... I hope she's waiting for me* I thought.

Soon, I was on the park and I run as fast as I can to the Sakura tree.
There, I only saw a basket and.... our ring ?
I took the ring and it was confrimed ... it was our ring.
But why is this here? It should be on her finger...
I look around but Ji Eun was not there already.
"Ji Eun-ah~", I mumbled.
*She already left?*
When she was nowhere to be found, I cry.
I don't know, but I cry after realizing that she already left.
This is my chance already!
To tell her that I love her ...
Now, where should I find her? I don't have any contact of her !

Next day~
We had guesting on a talk show
I got the chance to say...
"Annyeonghaseyo! Boyfriend's Maknae Minwoo imnida. I just want to say I miss you to my bestfriend!", I said on the mic.
This is the only thing I think just to find my bestfriend.
I really want her back. "I love you~", I kinda whisper it.
"Who is this lucky girl Minwoo-ssi?", the host asked me.
I hesitate to tell it at first. But I'm really hoping that she is watching this talk show so she would not be mad at me that she knew I broke our promise.
"Ji Eun-ah. Don't be mad. I didn't broke our promise. It's just I go at our meeting place so late.  I'm sorry... I miss you" I said.
At  that moment, my voice was kind of trembling. I try not to cry but when my bandmates tease me.. "uljima~uljima~" that's when I didn't hide my feelings and just cry.
"Ji Eun-ah... mianheyo", I said.
"Oh, it's okay~", my hyungs comfort me...
*I love you Ji Eun-ah.*

As soon as the live show ended Our manager call me and tell that I have a message.

Minwoo-ah. This is Aunt Hye Rin. Still remember me? Ji Eun's mom.
Minwoo-ah. Go to our new house (put an address). You need to see something.
You don't have personal ceelphone and we try to find any way just to contact you.
Minwoo, come to our house. okay ?


The next day, I told my manager I have to go somewhere important and good thing he let me go.

As I found the house, I got puzzled. Ther's a lot of people inside but it's so silence.
Ji Eun's house is full of lights.
As I enter I start to get nervous.
"Minwoo-ah", Aunt Hye Rin walk towards me.
"What does this mean?", I asked.
"Ji Eun... already die", that's when I burst our on crying.
"When? How? Wha--", I was full of question.
"She commit suicide", her mom cried.
"What ?", I ask in disbelief.
*Why she would do this? Why she should commit suicide?*
"Ji Eun-ah...", I walk towards her casket.
She is lifeless already.
"Ji Eun-ah, I love you", i cried on her casket.
