Eunji’s POV
The light from the morning sun was beaming directly through my curtains and right into my eye. I decided it was time to get up from bed.
I took a glance at the clock beside my bed. It read ’10:05 am’. I got my clothing and headed to the washroom to wash up.
It’s been a month and a half since I came back to Canada. Even though I’m having lots of fun with my friends here, I still miss my family and friends in Korea.
Recently, Wonbin hasn’t called me as much as before. He told me that he was too busy getting ready to debut. Since he’ll be debuting in less than a month.
I had a meeting with one of my best male friends today. It’s been a long time since I last saw him. We were the best of friends in school. We were known to be with each other everywhere. He was like a brother to me. And to be truthful, I even had a crush on him the year before I left for Korea. He was a really good looking person. He was a mix of Chinese, Korean, and Caucasian. He was a really good looking guy. A lot of the girls at our school was practically in love with him.
“Joseph!” I yelled out when I neared the water fountain where my best friend Joseph was waiting for me.
He pulled me into a big hug with a smile spread on his face.
“How’ve you been?” He asked me with a huge smile.
“I’ve been great! How are you? Missed me?” I said.
“Of course. Ever since you left Canada, I never had another best friend like you.” He said as he patted my head.
“Well, here I am. Let’s go have fun!” I said as I dragged his arm heading for the bus stop.
He chuckled as we made our way to the bus stop.
“You know what? I think you got cuter since the last time I saw you.” He laughed as he stared at my face.
I blushed at his comment. If he had said that to me two years ago, I would have loved it and replayed it in my head. But I was in love with someone else now.
“So, it’s just me and you. Where do you want to go?” He said as he placed his hand on top of mine when we sat down on the bus.
My mind was thinking that he was just being friendly with the hand thing.
“Doesn’t matter to me. We can go wherever you want.” I said to him with a slight smile.
“I’ll take you to somewhere special.” He said as he pulled the string moments later.
We got off the bus and he led me to a nearby park. It was a very familiar park. One that I haven’t been to since I left Canada.
“Joseph, isn’t this the tree that we carved our name on before I left?” I asked him, thinking back.
“You’re right. This tree has both our names carved on it.” He said as he traced the names with his finger.
“Why’d you bring me here?” I asked him, confused.
“I want to show you something.” He said to me as he led me to the other side of the tree.
I followed his lead.
“Look what I added.” He said as he pointed to a new section of the tree.
I took a peek and was surprised.
It was our names with a heart around it.
“Joseph…” I was dumbfounded.
“Don’t you like it?” He smiled at the tree.
“Well… I… I mean…” I stuttered.
I didn’t know what to say.
“I carved this the names the day after you left.” He said as he continued to stare at the name.
I waited for him to continue.
“Then, after you left for half a year, I carved a heart around our names.” He said.
My eyes widened.
“If you hadn’t left, I never would have figured out some real feelings that I held inside me. After you left, it was like you took part of my heart with you. I wasn’t able to function properly without you beside me telling me how I should do stuff.” He said as he turned towards me.
“After you left, my mind took its own path. Even though I had lots of other friends, I still missed you the most. You’ve been with me for such a long time; it doesn’t feel right without you. I’ve missed you. A lot.” He said as he walked towards me and embraced me into a hug.
“Joseph. I…” I started but was cut off.
“I knew you liked me. I felt it, but at that time I was too stupid to notice it. I hope it’s not too late now to understand your feelings.” He whispered into my ear.
I guess he still hasn’t figured out that there is another guy in my life now.
“There’s something you should know Joseph.” I said as I pulled away from the hug.
He waited patiently for me to continue.
“Yes, there was a long period of time that I liked you. But after leaving Canada, I met someone. He’s someone that I can trust. He’s more then a friend. I’m in love with him Joseph.” I said to Joseph’s now blank face.
“But you love me, don’t you?” He asked me.
“I do love you Joseph. But it’s not the same love that I have towards Wonbin, the one who is in Korea, waiting for my return.” I told him with a weak voice.
“I don’t believe that he has all of your heart.” He said with energy.
“Jos—“
“Eunji. You have to give me a chance. You have to let me prove to you how much you mean to me. I know your feelings for me are not yet over. I’m sure those feelings will come back sooner or later.” He pleaded.
“I—I” I started.
“Please Eunji. Let me show you my love for you.” He said.
“Joseph, can’t we just stay as good friends like before?” I asked him.
“I know that you still like me Eunji. Please, give me one more chance to make it up to you.” He said with pleading eyes.
“I don’t know if I’ll be able to do that. I’ve been dating Wonbin for an entire year. And my feelings for him are as strong as before. I won’t change my mind.” I stuck with my decision.
“Eunji, I’ll do what it takes to win your heart back. You watch.” Joseph said with a hug before leaving the park.
After he left, I took a seat on the bench to calm myself.
The person that I liked for a long time finally decides to like me back. But why does he have to like me at the wrong time? Just when I’m in love with someone else.
I thought that I could leave Canada and go back to Korea without having any troubles. I guess I guessed wrong.
“Wonbin…” I whispered as I put my face into my hands.
