Chapter 12 The Person You Love

"Hyu Ri-ssi...." You hear a deep voice calling out your name gently. You recognize the face, he is another problem that you need to confront. You lift your face and see his worry face. He is kneeling in front of you.
           "You okay....?" He asks carefully. You shook your head and look at him with your puppy eyes.
         He helps you to stand up and take you to sit down on the nearby bench. He pull out two canned drink and tell you that he is succesfully draw the drink from the vending machine by his self. You know he tries to put his unusual rigid jokes, trying to lift up your mood and his effort make you smile.
          Both of you sip the drink quitely for some moments , not really want to initiate any conversation.
          "If you are uncomfortable working with Ryu Min for the project.... Do you want to change the photograper?" Ju Min offers you. You shook your head slowly.
           "Please don't involve my personal feeling into this project, it is unfair for him... Let's just continue the project with him.... I.... Will be okay, I have to...." You reject his offers.
             "...... Are you happy to be able seeing him again?" He ask you after a brief silent.
          "..... I suppose yes... No matter how humiliated I am by my action.... I am happy to see him.... For these 10 years I always wait for the moment when I can encounter him even for a brief moment..... Despite everything, I still want to see his warm eyes staring into mine.... Pathetic aren't I?" You smile mockingly to your self.
           "Why do you love him so deeply like that? " he is really curious. He wants to know the reason , if he can makes a reason for you to look into his direction, to recognize his feeling, he would be gladly to do that.
            "I..... Don't know..... I am not sure why...." You smile faintly, reminiscent the beautiful memory of your first love years ago.
           You just about to go home when you see Sae Yi your high school mate is walking together with a man of her departement. You know him, but he doesn't know you yet. Since your first encounter you've been stalking his SNS and following him. Sometimes you also coment on his posts and tags him on your.
            You made a bold movement of approaching him on social media. But when you meet him in real life you pretend that you don't know him and being someone else, you're so timid and shy. You never put your personal picture on SNS so it is natural that he doesn't recognize you. He is Han Ryu Min. A sophomore of Art and Film Departement.
           "Lee Hyu Ri!" Sae Yi wave to you and call your name, you were dumfounded, you are embarrassed if Ryu Min would recognize you when you always put an act infront of him like you don't know him. But yet, you're kinda looking forward to see his reaction too.
          The three of you walk together but it is only Sae Yi and Ryu Min who is talking about the upcoming festivals. You heard that Ryu Min will be responsible for the festivals filming. You feel awkward as the third person.
          "Braakkk!!!" Suddenly a loud crashed happened on the three section street. Everyone is in shock. A delivery man just crashed with a freshmen who ride his bicycle. For a moment almost of people is too stunned to even move and only staring on the fallen victims.
           Ryu Min is the first person who takes an act, he run fastly to help them, he even almost hit by the car when he cross the street and he just casually smile to the driver car and appologize before rushing forward. Soon more people come to help.
           Ryu Min check the condition of the victims, fortunately there is no a major injury. He talks to the victim friendly trying to ease the tension between the salaryman and the freshmen. He help the salaryman to tidy up his belonging and apologizing for him in the place of the freshmen. He doesn't even know the freshmen but yet he help him. He looks so cool knowing how to deal with everything. It feel like he would know what to do on every single situation that happened around him.
           After the issue is settled, Ryu Min run backs to the place where you and Sae Yi stand up as an audience. He smiles, he always do. But he is not smiling to his friend Ji Sae Yi the person that he knew. Rather he keep staring at you and approach you while puting his warm smile and deep gaze. Through that accident ,you realize that your fond to him become deeper.
          "So you are that Lee Hyu Ri right?" He asks you, seems like he recognize you. You awkwardly nod with a blank expression. He just smile and keep smiling saying that he is happy to meet you.
            Since then you decides to apply as the festival committee. You wish you can interact with Ryu Min as much as you can. You are not actually happy being involved in a big community but yet you did it anyway. Slowly Ryu Min starts to make you do what you've never done.
            One day on the festival committee meeting, you attend it and find Ryu Min there. Ryu Min greet you and you acknowledging him coldly.... Nervously.... to be honest. On the break Ryu Min goes to the bathroom and you change your seat. When he comes back while puting his usual smile, you see that his eyes are scaning the whole room and once he catch you with his eyes, his smile become brighter. Your heart skip a beat and you become breathless.
             "Wow.... He is looking for you" your friend who knows about your crush on him teasing you.
           On the other chance, you see that Ryu Min is filming the preparation of the festivals. He watch the rehearsal of korean traditional dance. He is so immerse on the filming but you never thought that he would starts copying the dancer move while holding the camera. His dance is so stiff and so fun to watch. You can't hold your laughter.
            On the day of the festival, there is a great stage on the yard. There are some drama and concert to entertain the audience. You know that Ryu Min is  enjoying some snack on the snack bar which place far enough facing the stage.
         Your friend asks you to enjoy the show together, so you sit on the ground infront of the stage which make Ryu Min stay far behind you. When you are immersed with the show you see Ryu Min just circle around the stage and appear infront of you, he looks at you with his tipical warm eyes and smiling.
            When your eyes meets his it feel like everything around you are blured. It feel like there are only the two of you in the whole world. When you read about the word on novels "feel like we are the only one in the world" you thought it was really cliche.
         But yet, you experience those cliche situation in reality. And you feel like an idiot who madly in love with him. He tooks all the way to circle around the stage and appear before your eyes. It is feel like he just deliberately did that to checking  if you are enjoying the show or not.
           Once the festival is finished the committee is gathering around to do an evaluation. Ryu Min isn't a member of the committee but yet he comes and brings some snacks and food for everyone because he knew that the member of festival committee didn't eat yet. He always put people into his consideration. He is such a kindhearted person.
     
         "I don't know which one is the real situation for me, was it because he is really a kind person so I fall for him, or it is because I love him that make me see him as a really good person....." You tell Ju Min about one of your unforgetable memory about Ryu Min.
        Ju Min is staring at you intently. Somehow he witnessed how your mood is lifted up when you are talking about Ryu Min. You looks cheerfull but desperate at once. You seems like a lovely teenager  talking about love and it's so cute. He is enchanted.
          He is happy to discovering this side of yours but also agonized by the fact that he is not the subject of your topic. He is not the one that you loved.
