I'm doomed.. Someone, help me. Unleash me in this tragic life of mine.

Well, I'm exaggerating but I'm not that miserable.

Let's just say that I don't have control over the things I should have.

I went to the store nearby to buy some ice cream.. A twin popsicle, alone. I couldn't care less.

I was just quietly enjoying my ice cream when a random guy sat in front of me. I tried to ignore him but he kept on staring until I glared at him.

He was abashed but tried to talk..

"Noona--"

"Noona?!" I exclaimed. Does it look like I'm older than him?!

"Halmeoni?"

"HA?! Ah! This guy--!!" I almost threw a fist on him.

"I can't stand seeing you cry.. What an unpleasant view."

"Cry?" I asked and touched my cheek. What the..? I was crying?!

"Yeah, that thing our eyes do when we feel extreme emotions that we can't handle."

"Okay, I'm sorry" I left a sarcastic remark while wiping my tears away

"Would you care for a gallon of ice cream then? I think you will need more comfort more than a twin popsicle" He said as he stood up and put his hands inside his pockets. He went inside the store and headed to the freezer. He was serious?! I followed him and looked if he's serious about it.

"What flavor would you like?" He asked without taking a glance at me. He was busy looking at the ice creams

"Are you serious?"

"It's my treat"

"Cookies & cream"

✖️✖️

Ugh. I can't believe that I'm practically hanging out with a stranger right now.

"Why were you crying?" He asked as he have a spoonful of ice cream

"I was not. I will never cry in public. My eyes were just sweating" I defended. I didn't realized that tears were falling down until he said it tho.

"That's the same thing. It's okay, just casually tell your story. I'm the human form of that god who likes to listens to everyone's words" he said with casualty. We're not close. I don't even know him. It's the first time I've seen him.

"What are you talking about?"

"I don't have any friends" he whined like a kid "Once in a while, I would like to listen to someone's complaints"

"I don't know you." I answered nonchalantly

"If I told you mine, would you tell yours?" He asked and waited for my response

"I don't know.. I'm just staying because of the ice cream" I replied and then ate a big spoon of ice cream

"I hate my parents.. They're just thinking about themselves.. What are they hurrying for? I needed more time. But what can I do? They're my parents. Instead of sulking, I think I would feel better if I realized that there are people who have bigger problems than mine that's why I'm doing this"

"Or there are people who are in the same situation.. Just like you, I'm also against my parent's decision. They didn't even asked me. It's as if my opinion is not important." I irritatedly stated and had a spoonful of ice cream.

"Oh, your eyes are sweating again" He said then pointed my face

"Ah jinjja!" I complained then wiped my tears away

He stood up and offered a handshake I hesitantlty accepted it so he impatiently grabbed my hand.

"We're friends now! Thank you for listening and sharing your story. I hope you become comfortable with me." he stated with such glee

"Nice meeting you too." I replied.

"Goodbye. Maybe I'll come back tomorrow, may be not. Haha" He said then left.

What a weird fellow.

✖✖

He's weird but I found myself waiting for him.. I'm curious about the details of his story..

But hours have passed and he still haven't come yet. I'll eat ramen then.

The day has died and became night and he's still not here. Well, I'm used to being alone.

"Haha look who waited" I heard a voice behind me that made me look back.

"I am not"

"Did I said that it's you? Haha" He snickered as he sat in front of me. "You know what's good with ramen? lce cream! Just like Honey Buddha Chips to Dr. Pepper"

"Well then, prove it" I said and he really bought me one.

And it was really good.

"Ahjussi--"

"Cookies, call me cookies. Oh, and I brought a bunch of honey buddha chips!" He interrupted while I was talking and excitedly opened a bag of chip

"Cookies? Then you'll call me cream? HAHAHAHA" I don't know how I have thought of it but it makes me laugh hard and he also laughed with me

"Base on how you laughed, you really like it, then it's settled. How old are you, by the way?"

"Haha why would I tell you?"

"I'm 22" He's just 22?!

"Omo. I'm 28.. So it's okay to call me noona"

"You're 28?!" He exclaimed

"I do not repeat myself" I said

"Are you kidding?"

"Hey! So I look older than I am?!"

"No.. You look younger. Way younger than your age."

"But my parents wants me to look older.. Yes, I still have a childish mindset but I was responsible. Why should I need a man? Haha I don't want to marry.." I suddenly blurted out. I am really troubled and I was also waiting to tell it. I don't know why I just felt comfortable with him even though this is just the second time that we've meet.

"You're engaged? Business?" He asked and had a handful of the chips

"You could say that.. But their reason was I am getting older and I don't have any friends. I haven't been in a relationship so they were worried that they won't get a grandchild with their only child."

"HA?! You haven't been in a relationship before?!" He exclaimed and almost dropped his chips

"Yes. I want my first romantic relationship to last 'till I die with someone I really love. But it was hard to look for the right man.. Men that I've met are not interesting and good enough for me" I stated and drank the soup of my ramen

He laughed at me. Why?

"You don't have to look for him.. He will eventually come. But I think he was late" He stated with a hint of disappointment in his tone

I looked above and saw the sky full of stars "yeah.. He really is.. The stars are really pretty" I said as I acted of grabbing them one by one

"Cream--" He called. But I suddenly looked at him and laughed. I still can't get use to it!

"You were the one who suggested it. But anyway, would you mind going in a planetarium tomorrow?" He asked then handed me a ticket and then ran away.

He's really weird.

✖✖

I just knew him but I looked forward to this day.. I waited on the store.. Ughh.. It's high noon and it is burning here outside. But I can't say that I hate it. I actually want it to last.

"Cream!" I heard a familiar voice. I looked to where it came from and the tomato head guy was waging at me.

I just noticed that he looks.. Pretty cute.. Ugh. No. You're engaged. Stop checking on him.

I headed to him and we started walking to the nearest bus stop.

I was talking about how I got lost in a museum as a child when he suddenly grabbed my hand and ran fast. He's dragging me!

Oh! We will miss the bus!!

It's a good thing he noticed it or we'll wait..

Gosh! That was refreshing. We came in. We looked at each other and suddenly laughed. I've never experienced this before. Yes, we can wait, but it would be boring. I'm starting to like this weird fellow.

I enjoyed our time in the planetarium or enjoyed my time being with him, rather. We never had an awkward time and we always have something to talk to..

We are currently at the store again and eating a gallon of ice cream..

"My diet would be a mess if I continue to eat this everyday." I stated and had a spoonful of ice cream

"Who cares?" He said then chuckled

"Ughh, my parents. I will receive a big time of nag. I'm getting married and they want me to wear the dress beautifully." I explained.

"I would not care tho.. You'll be the most beautiful." He mumbled something but I couldn't hear it

"What?"

"W-when's your wedding?" He replied quickly

Thinking about the answer of his question suddenly killed my vibe.. I looked up again and saw the stars..

"It's in June.." I nonchalantly replied

"Ooh a June bride" he said with a smile.. Why. Do. I. Find. Him. Attractive? This is bad. Oh noes. No. No. No. I can't fall for him.

"I don't want this summer to end.. Actually.. I wanted to have a friend and hang out.. Like this.. Before I will marry someone.. But now.. I don't know.. I don't even know my groom neither have I seen him"

"Your wish is my command.. Before your wedding, I would be that friend you wanted.."

"Why are you doing this?" I asked him.. We're strangers. We've just met the other day.. What does he want from me?

"I've told you, I don't have any friends.. It just happened that I saw you being all dramatic and you already know why I comforted you.. Why? Don't you want to be friends?"

"No, you're also my only friend.. But.. Ughh.. Fine. Thank you.. But.. There will be an end to this--"

"When the first rain of June happens, that would be our last meeting.. We have 3 more motnhs.. I promise, I will be your greatest friend"

"You already are"

✖️✖️

We will always meet at the store and go to hang out.. It was fun.. We went to amusment parks, water parks, mall, beaches. We're both in a break with our jobs that's why we meet everyday. I've never enjoyed someone's company until I knew him.. I wish summer could not end..

But there's always an end to anything.. It is the first day of June and I've prayed that it wouldn't rain..

My parents are also asking me about my marriage.. Well, they were the ones who planned it, why are they asking me?

When June started, I would always watch the new first thing in the morning to check the weather.. I don't want it to rain..

"It is really sunny out here, isn't it?" He asked

"Yeah.. It's a good thing" I replied and sipped on the ice coffee I bought

"Yeah.. I sometimes wish that rainfall does not exist" he stated and leaned on his chair

The sky was suddenly cloudy and later on, raindrops started to fall.. T-The sun was shining brightly.. How could it..?

People started to go in and he was also planning but I could not move.. This will be the last with him. Tomorrow, I will get ready for my wedding..

He was holding my arms, convincing me to come inside.. But I held his hand.

"Let's... Run away..." I said, looking straight into his eyes. He looked at me with disbelief but he eventually smiled.

He held my hand tighter and started to walk so I followed him.. We rented a bike and was driving around the city.. It feels nice to do while it's raining.. It's refreshing. How the wind comes crashing to me.. My mind is all empty and I'm just enjoying this. I really like it.

We stopped by at a seashore and played like kids.. Until we felt tired and decided to sit..

"I promise.. I will be at your wedding.." He said and put up his pinky

I stayed quiet.. But... Now that I've think about it, I was being irrational. We can still be friends even though I've gone through marriage. I guess we can be friends forever.

I looked at him and he was smiling as he waits for my respond. I also put up my pinky and intertwined it with his.

He stood up and offered his hand to help me stand.

"I promise, this won't be our last meeting.." He said with a smile. As soon as I stood up, I hugged him and I felt that he hugged me tighter.. I hope so.. I hope that this is not our last meeting.

✖️✖️

These past few weeks is a busy week.. Dress fitting, seminars. Ugh. Stress! But today is the day of my marriage.. At least, I want to be beautiful on it..

I was nervous for the whole time.. I've never seen my groom..

I was walking to the altar.. I can feel everyone is looking at me.. I have no glasses and I don't like wearing contact lenses so I can't see what's in front of me.. I'm kind of curious on how does my future husband look.

I kind of figure that he has red hair.. Then I remembered him again.. I meant Cookies. Where is he? He said he would be at my wedding.

I looked for him at the crowd, hoping that I would see him. But there's no sight of him.. Sigh~ I guess... It was the end for us..

I tried my best to look up when I realized that the man who was waiting for me at the altar is...

"I told you I would be at your wedding.."

————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

A/N: I can't think of a better ending 😭😭 and I think it is skeptical. But I hope you liked it! Sorry for the supeeeeeer late update. I've been busy and... Had a depressive episode but don't worry! I'm fine! 😁😁

What I was planning on this chapter was, you got engaged to Jumin and have never seen him. Seven saw you crying and tried to cheer you up and developed a friendship/attachment and promised that he would be at your wedding like in what I've written. But the ending would be... yes, you've seen Seven but he was the best man and Jumin is your groom. Hahaha but I thought it would be better if it was a happy ending.

Anyways, thank you for reading!! 😊💕💖
