It's so cold today

She is lying in her bed wearing a blanket and talking with her sister then her cousin brother came to her house and said "let's go out and have fun, our friends are waiting outside."

she replied in a lazy tone "Eun chul I don't want to go it's too cold outside. call them in and let's play here some house games."

"but sister jae su has also come and he told me to call you" said Eun chul.

She is very happy inside and felt like jumping around just because he called her.

"okay then let's go but don't think he called me so I'm coming" she said shyly.

Eun chul said in a teasing tone to her "I didn't even say anything."

She glared at him with a killing eyes and replied "okay...but don't get it wrong."

"both of you stop your chitchat and let's go" said si dong ( her sister )

"okay you guys go ahead I'll come" she said.

"okay sis come early" Eun chul replied.

She put on her black coat and a red scarf and applied a peachy tinted lip balm she wanted to look good in front of him.

"put on your slippers and just go. why are you dressing up like you are going on a date.

okay... what's the problem if I want to look pretty everyone wants to look good" she is blabbering nonsense and convincing herself by saying all this.

"just go su dong"

There is an abandoned apartment. her friends were there. they built a small tent house above the roof of the apartment. everyone was there except her. she went there. then she went up on the roof.

Everyone was sitting and warming their hands over the campfire. he was also there. as always with a sweet gentle smile on his face. he was always like that. she stand by the door of the roof looking at him and thinking about him. then he looked at her and their eyes met for a few seconds. she quickly looked elsewhere. then he asked "what are you doing over there, hurry up and come here"

"nothing, I'm coming" she replied.

She sat next to her sister then he came to her and sat next to her. he is coming closer to her and said something in her ears "why are you sitting far away from me, are you avoiding me because of what I said yesterday"

she replied "haa...did you really mean it, I thought you were joking around like you always do"

he looked at her with his mesmerizing eyes for a few moments then said softly "I really mean it..."

her heart skipped a beat with a wide open eyes.

How am I supposed to respond. my heart is beating so fast looks like it may explode. eotteokhae...okay say something you stupid or regret it for the rest of my life. take a deep breath first. huffff...okay I'm prepared now...[ Su dong inner thought ]

\*eotteokhae means what to

do in Korean

"Actually jae su, I also.....

Oh look fireworks

"Happy new year to everyone"

They all wished each other.

"I didn't hear what you were saying a while ago" said jae su.

"oh nothing, if you haven't heard anything then forget" she replied.

he sighed and said "okay then take your time then give me a clear answer."

"okay" she replied.

Now is not the right time. wait for a good occasion. [ Su dong P.O.V ]

"Haa...I am feeling so cold. that's why I don't like winter" she said.

"can I hold your hand" jae su asked.

she replied "huh, why?"

he said "give me your hand first then you will know."

"okay take it" she said.

He took her hand and put it in his coat pocket and asked "are you still cold."

"why did you put my hand in your pocket is there a warming patch or something" she replied with a cute smile.

he pulled her cheeks and said "don't speak like this in front of someone when I am not around."

"why? what do you mean by speaking like that" she asked.

"nothing you don't need to know, just do as I say" he replied.

"aishh....you are so annoying."

"It is getting too late now guys, let's go our homes" said si dong.

"yes, coming" she said to her sister.

"okay leave my hand now I'm leaving" she told jae su.

"I do not feel like" he whispered softly.

she said laughing "next time whisper a little more slowly, by the way what?"

"what.....?" he asked.

"I mean to leave my hand or letting me go?" she asked.

he replied softly "both"

she slightly smiled.

"are you two coming or not?" said si dong.

jae su replied "you guys go..we will come in a while."

"okay come soon...see you tomorrow jae su" said si dong.

Then they left and they were both alone. they were sitting silently.

In a beautiful cold night, away from the noisy world, here in peace with a guy, both are alone..

doesn't it seems so romantic. that's what happens in dramas right..but why he is silent. looks like I have to say something to kill this silence. [ Su dong P.O.V ]

Su dong ah...

Jae su ya.... [ at the same time ]

You first.... [ again at the same time ]

puffff...hahahaha [they both chuckled]

"Haaa....seriously my stomach is hurting." she said

"hehe..mine too..by the way Su dong ah."

"hmm..what?"

"you know what..everything seems so perfect when I'm with you. I don't have to try so hard to be happy. when you are around I can be myself." he said

she gazed at him silently with a tender smile.

he held her hand and said "your smile is so pretty that can melt anyone's heart. just like it melts mine's."

she is listening to him quietly.

"hey, why are you so quite. say something" he said

"has anyone ever told you that you are so sweet" she said

he smirked and replied "no you are the first person."

"you are special as the way you are." she said

"Thanks for making me feel special." he said

"Su dong ah..."

"hmm...what?"

he said in a low voice caressing her hair "can I hug you?"

Chirp...chirp...chirp...

[ the sound of birds chirping]

She opened her eyes and found herself lying in her bedroom. For a few moments her mind went blank. She is not able to understand that what is happening. She closed her eyes and opened it again then she got up and sat down.

Su dong: Wait a minute...was it all a dream?

oh my god..I'm getting confused. How could it possible. How could a dream feels so real like if it is really happening. It's weird. Just forget about it, I have to go to school now.

Then she went to washroom and started brushing her teeth. Suddenly she realised.

Wait....wait....wait....

Who is that girl claiming herself

[ Su dong P.O.V ]

She got muddled

I am the only child in this house, didn't I?

I don't have any sister or brother, right..

Then who is she...huh?

Wait a second..does my mom dad hiding that girl somewhere...umm no no no no, why do they hide her. That makes no sense. Right it's nothing..

[ She is lost in her own thoughts ]

Then she continued to brushing again. Again she stopped.

Is it because I am not their biological child. Does they brought me from orphanage. That's why they hide their own child. In case it will be awkward for her or me. Am I their adopted child?.. [ Su dong P.O.V]

"No way....." she screamed out loud.

Mom: What happened Su dong ah, why are you screaming?

Su dong: Oh nothing mom, I hurt my gum while brushing my teeth.

Mom: Oh, okay come and have your breakfast.

Su dong: Okay mom.

Only oh...she didn't even ask me if I'm okay or not. Now I understand when I was little. Mom always told me that they brought me from the gutter. So everything was true. I feel so sad.

[ Su dong P.O.V ]

she got ready and come to have breakfast. She sat on the chair and started eating quietly..

Mom: Su dong ah..Su dong ah..hey..

Su dong: huh? What..

Mom: Where are you lost. Hurry up, finish your breakfast soon.

Su dong: Mom, are you really my biological mother?

Her mom said laughing "Let's go and have a DNA test.

Su dong: Mom....I'm serious.

Mom: You fool, what are you thinking early in the morning. You are the symbol of mom dad's love.

Su dong: If so, then why did you told me that you brought me from the gutter?

"hahahaa..."

Su dong: Mom please, stop laughing.

"hahaha..."

Su dong: Mom.....

Mom: Okay okay sorry..Now listen carefully, when you were little. You are so picky eater at that time. So, whenever you bother me, I used to tell you that we brought you from the gutter. And whenever I said that you always act to be a good girl and listened everything. You thought that we would leave you in the gutter again. That's why..you are our only beautiful daughter. Now quickly finish your breakfast.

Su dong: Okay mom, thanks for explaining everything.

Mom: hmmm..Hurry up

She looked at the clock

Oh seriously look at the time mom. I'm running late. I'll get going.

Su dong: Mom...

Mom: What again?

Su dong: Nothing, love you mom. okay bye...I am going.

Mom: bye bye..
