It's been three years. . . .
Eun Youngro takes a sip of coffee and looks outside at the window....
"right?"
"hmm?" she hurriedly looks back at the guy Infront of her, the guy just smiles...
"I was talking about our honeymoon, it would be great in Abroad right?like Paris or Germany"
Youngro tries not to choke and wipes off her lips then sighs and looks up to the guy...
"honeymoon?" she brings her face towards him, "let me tell you something, come closer...." she signals him and he follows....
a sound of time ticking from the clock made Youngro getting prepared to.....
"what is it?" the guy whispers at Youngro's ears
"3...2...1..." she whispers back...
"times up, ahjussi, it been an hour now, I don't think we're a match, I gotta go ahjussi..." she stands up and picks up her notebook then rushed towards the door to get out...
"I'm only twenty five though..." the guy mumbles while staring blankly .. . .
Youngro used the back door so that the bell wouldn't ring...
"hello Youngro, you're turning down a blind date early today?" the male chef chuckles as he washes the cabbage...
"yeah, it's quite special today, bye" she waves goodbye...
Youngro looked left and right then ran as she saw a glimpse guys she knew, who is her father's secret guards to protect her since that incident that happened at the dorm . . . ..
she pants as she looks behind her back to see anyone following her....
she sighs and wipes off her sweat then ties her hair in a ponytail leaving her beautiful curls down....
Kling! Kling!
the bells rang as Youngro enters the flower shop....
"hi, I'm here for the flowers?" she smiles and asks the young lady arranging some flowers...
the young lady politely gives her two medium bouquet of flowers and pays her...
"thank you...." Youngro bows and turns to leave but before she could reach the doorknob, she caught a glimpse of a white bell-shaped flower...
ipuda....
"that's new, it's called Snowdrop, it means sympathy and consolation it also has a different meaning but I forgot" the young lady explains....
Youngro stares at the flowers, having a deep thought, should she buy it? or not?
. . . . . . . . . . .. .
"how much is it?" she asks....
Kling! Kling!
Youngro adjusts the flowers she's holding and walked down the road.....
Today is her brother's birthday and decided to visit him with flowers instead of eating at his tomb since she doesn't have much time and since he was buried next to her mother, she bought one more bouquet for her and the snowdrop small bouquet.....
is for a certain someone....
Youngro walks up to the hill and smiles....
she puts down the flowers on each tomb and adjusts her green scarf from her brother, she takes it off to fold it and before she wore the scarf back, she touches the pendant she's wearing and smiles a little sad....
"sigh..."
"oppa,umma, dad arranged another blind date for me, he was still twenty five years old but I just called him ahjussi and I'm sure he's perplexed of what I said...."
Youngro sits down and lays her head on her shoulders on her knees...
"I met 'his' sister..." she mumbles...
"we met at home, she was taken in by dad that night and the next morning she left leaving a letter..."
"saying that she will be leaving to Germany now..."
"also she recognized the pendant I was wearing and said it belonged to her brother and also that...."
"she told me that he never gave it to anyone when she gave it to him, no matter how much is the price ladies asks...."
she slightly smiles and buries her head...
"it's quite romantic..." she mumbles
but a painful throb crossed her heart as she thought of all the moments she spend with 'him'...
she shakes her head and takes a deep breathe....
"it's still hard..." she sighs...
"oppa, you know, I thought he was the reason why you died..."
"but now that I think about it..."
"he was forced to do his job for his sister, his life was hard since they kept threatening him..."
she sighs....
*rustle....
"hmm?" she stands up and looks around...
"did I hear wrong? or is it just the wind?" she tilts her head and mumbles...
she takes a deep breathe for the last time and takes her stuffs and the snowdrop bouquet....
"I have to go....."
she bowed and smiled
as she went down the hill, she hears some soft foot steps but just ignores, thinking it's just the wind since it's very windy here....
* * * * * * * * * . * * * * * * * * ******
"I'm home...." she enters the door and closes it...
she finally has a place to call home...
it was of course her home where her dad is...
Eun Chang-soo, Youngro's father, divorced Hong Ae-ra after he fully recovered, he became more over protective over his only daughter after the incident that happened, he divorced Hong Ae-ra since he finally realized that he and his children almost broke ties because of her, he couldn't bare to lose his another child so he told her to move in.....
at first, Youngro just said that she'd stay with her grandma, but her grandma convinced Youngro to take the chance to reunite with her dad....
Chang-soo, couldn't be more happier when Youngro agreed to stay, his daughter became his reason to work hard in order to protect her....
Youngro also became happy to stay with her father and often visits her grandma....
"Youngro-ya..."
"oh?halmoni?" she smiles and excitedly walks to her grandma and hugs her...
"how are you halmoni?" she comfortably hugs her grandma....
"I'm doing great that's why I decided to visit you and your dad..."
they pulled away and sat down on the sofa...
"you visited your brother?"
"de..." she hands her grandma a cup of tea...
the nanny then hands Youngro a cup of coffee...
Youngro stares at the coffee and her happy face slightly faded...
"did you visit 'him' then? I thought you would since you bought those flowers..."
"hmm? ah, no I didn't have much time..."
she stares back at her coffee and smiles bitterly...
"so, did you go to another blind date your dad arranged?"
"yeah..." she sighs...
"does he know?" her grandma touches her hand...
"hmm, I told him years ago..." Youngro slightly smiles...
"that's good then..."
. . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. .
Klick..!!
Youngro closes the door of her room and leans on it, after a few moments chatting with her grandma, she excused herself to get some rest...
she takes off her shoulder bag and scarf and sat down on her study table and takes out her pen and paper...
Knock! knock!
Youngro stands up and opens the door seeing the nanny holding a glass vase of water...
"the vase you asked for miss..."
"ah, thank you..." she smiles...
she takes the vase slowly and places it on the side of her study table then went back to close the door, she then puts the Snowdrop inside and stares at it for awhile....
"bogoshipyo..." she whispers and almost tears up...
it's hard for her to move on, she agrees on blind dates her friends sets up or her father sets up maybe...
maybe she couldn't at least feel sad anymore, she sighs and takes out a paper then folds it to a paper airplane...
she touches the pendant she's wearing...
she feels a little stuffy and takes off her hair tie and lies down on her bed....
"should I visit tomorrow?" she tilts her head while staring at the ceiling...
she sighs and turns to the other side and stares at the window as the rain poured lightly....
"Young-ro, it's good to see you" Gye Bun-ok holds Young-ro's hand and smiles
"how have you been?" Bun-ok asks as they walk down the hallway and young ladies running down the hallway, when they saw Bun-ok they greeted her then walked slowly and ran again, the dorm has been doing well and lively
"mmmm...I used to be so excited when I am going to blind dates before but now...sigh" Young-ro looks at Bun-ok, "you've been going to blind dates?" Bun-ok said, "de, yesterday was the 99th one, I should just tell dad to stop"
"you should just attend one last time to make it a hundred" Bun-ok chuckles, "GYE BUN OK, PLEASE COME TO THE OFFICE"
"looks like I need to go" she said as she turns around but stops and went back to Young-ro then said with a smile "oh, and at the rooftop, no one will be disturbing you there"
Young-ro smiles and leaves, "why did they said not to go to the rooftop room?" she heard as she walked down the hall she stops and listens
"haven't you heard of the story there before?" one of the girls said, "about the north Korean spy? is that why they never let anyone come in? because they're afraid it'll happen again?but why do they still clean the place then?" asked the innocent voice
"I guess you've never heard" the girl sighs
"it's a story only for girls in this dorm, it's quite popular, it's actually a rumor that was still being told, it may not seem real since it's just a rumor but I have a feeling that it's real"
a story? Young-ro thought
"what's the story?"
"well, it's been said that the north Korean spy stayed there while he was injured, and that a student from this dorm took care of him, the girl was unaware of his identity as a spy and even helped him escape through the open house dressing him as her partner, they both fell in love but the guy didn't have a choice or else his family will be killed and so they met again and the hostage incident happened, but during those time, I heard that even though the girl was very heart broken because of him, I heard they shared a very intimate thing in the rooftop room"
intimate thing?! Young-ro thought, do they really have to explain it that way? we only kissed and drank coffee
"then a few days later, the guy died and the girl, I don't know, but they said, it was very hard for her to move on"
"what a tragic romance, close to being Romeo and Juliet" the girl said
"I agree, wait, speaking of Romeo and Juliet, I forgot a book in my room" and they hurriedly rushed away
how did someone know about this? and even until a few years later, it became a story, a tragic romance they say or just a rumor Young-ro looks down
