Abstract Love
Hostel 9 pm
Yura was in her bed. Miyeon reached her.
“Yura…. Are you awake?”
She nodded.
“Has the problem solved at your house?”
She again nodded.
“Good then. I asked just because you didn’t look good.” Miyeon then secretly took her cell phone which was beside her pillow. She checked out the message conversation, but there was no conversation. Then she checked out files and then images. She smiled while looking at the photos.
“And you say you aren’t in a relationship huh hypocrite…..” Miyeon thought.
Next Day 9:00 am
Yura woke up and looked the time. “Omo…. I am late…..” She got up and changed. She rushed towards her class. “Why didn’t Hara woke me up? Its Taekwoon Gyosonim’s class….. He won’t allow me to enter man…..Its ok… I am just 15 min late.” She thought while running.She reached the classroom. She built up courage and opened the door.
“So how will you explain this photo Gyosonim?” A girl in the class asked. “It’s been sent to all in our department.”
Yura stopped and everyone turned their faces towards her. Kiseop looked at her with extreme tension.
“Oh 2nd culprit is here as well.”
“Shut up and take your seat Ae jung.” Taekwoon scolded her.
“Why should we? We have been insulted because of you both.” Another girl defended Ae jung. “And tell us if that’s the truth of you two.”
Taekwoon glared at Yura but she was in extreme shock. He turned his face towards the class. “It’s true…. But it was me…. Not her. Class is dismissed.” He took his files, grabbed Yura and went out.
“You showed that butterfly pic to your friends??? Do you hate me? Did you want to take revenge for yesterday?” He asked in a voice with no tone no emotions.
Tears fell down her cheeks. “Ani” She replied.
Kiseop grabbed her. “I think you’ve done enough…. Gyosonim. Leave her alone.” He said to Taekwoon.
“Come on Yura…” He took her away.
“Leave me Kiseop.” Yura cried. She pulled her hand away and ran towards Ae jung.
“Who told you to do this? Which roommate of mine is your friend? TELL ME?” Yura yelled.
“Look who’s talking.” Ae jung teased her.
Yura grabbed her collar from both her hands and pushed her against the wall.
“TELL ME!!!”
“Miyeon… Now get off.” Yura released her collar and went away.
“Miyeon hah…. I should have locked my cell. Damn it.” Yura thought while weeping and wiping away her tears. Yura came out of the department building and went outside.
4:00PM
“Annyaseo Gyosonim.”
Taekwoon lifted his head up from the table. As soon as he noticed Yura, he stood up. “Yura.”
“I came here to tell you that I didn’t show any photos to anybody. My roommate managed to send it to her friend and she leaked it. I am very sorry for that.” She bowed. “Please accept my apologies. And I won’t be taking any tuition from you from now on.” She said in an emotionless tone. “Please take care. I’ll be going now.” She turned around.
At once she felt his hands around her waist. He back hugged her and placed his chin on her shoulder.
“I might be strucked off…. I won’t be teaching you anymore here. Its decided by higher authorities since they found it offensive. I agreed.” He told her.
“Oh that’s even better. We wont be seeing each other.” She tried to get out of his grip.
“How can you behave like this after saying you love me?”
“Humans lie.” She closed her eyes. “Please let me go. This is your office.”
He smiled. “Not anymore.”
“JEBAL….”
He slightly loosened the grip and she went out of the room. He also went out.
“What about the pain in your heart?” He asked.
“It was burden of being with you.”
“Geojimal…”
“You can think whatever you like. Good bye.”
“Don’t you feel burdened now… I lost my job.”
She turned back. “Think of it as another pay back to your beloved Yuri.” She walked away.
4:30pm Hostel
Yura opened the door and came inside. Hara looked at her but remained quiet as if nothing happened. Yura went to Miyeon. “Are you satisfied now?”
“What are you talking about Yura.”
“You know what I am talking about. Should I tell what you did with your bf as well?”
“Well well Yura … you don’t have any proof.”
“Your statement proves that it doesn’t need one.”
“Because of you I lost my boyfriend.”
“And because of your nonsense he lost his job, although he wasn’t at fault.”
“Calm down Yura.” Hara said. “There’s no use in wasting your energy.”
“Aee Yura… Why don’t you tell Hara that the photo wasn’t fake?” Miyeon said.
Yura remained quiet for some time.
“And didn’t your boyfriend Gyosonim admit his love for you….” She added.
“SHUT UP MIYEON!!!” Yura reached Miyeon and grabbed her neck with both her hands. “People like you should be murdered.”
Hara and the other roommate grabbed Yura from behind. “Yura leave her…”Hara said.
Yura released her and ran out of the room. She was panting. She came to the corridor and started walking randomly. Her tears were flowing like a water fall.
“Humans lie ….. I lied….. I love you still…. I am sorry … I won’t be able to face you now… I hate myself.” She told herself while crying. “Loving me made you suffer. I am sorry. I am sorry.” She sat down on the floor and hit it with her hands multiple times.
Taekwoon’s House 8:00pm
Hongbin entered the room upstairs with the painting on the wall. He saw Taekwoon sitting against the wall and smoking.
“Stop it Leo.”
“It’s all over.”
“Give her some time.”
“She said she lied.”
“Still, smoking won’t help. It will make your condition worse.”
“I want that to happen.”
“Leo… why did you ask to paint this piece?” Hongbin looked at the small frame hanging on the opposite wall.
“It was the most difficult and time taking.”
“You know what….. this was the first painting I started for my exhibition but I forgot the idea… so left it incomplete.”
“so?” He wasn’t interested.
“Well, then I completed all the other art pieces. I completely forgot about this one.”
Taekwoon looked at Hongbin.
“Atlast, when I showed all my paintings to Jieun, she asked me about this painting. It reminded me the idea I had for the painting. It was an abstract love showing pain.”
“Does this matter now…. the meaning of the painting? Since it won’t reach its final touch… cuz the artist hates me now.” He smiled with teary eyes.
“Leo Leo Leo…. You believed in fate … right? The story behind the painting is just like your love story. Half of it is completed. Now is the period of separation. But I believe she would come back to you… when she would realize that its impossible for her to live without you. But she needs time. Trust me. When a girl says she loves you… she means it. She can’t lie about it.”
“I hope…. I hope she realizes it soon before my heart failure.”
Hongbin laughed. “You’re funny Leo.”
“Stop calling me that.”
Yura was in her bed. Miyeon reached her.
“Yura…. Are you awake?”
She nodded.
“Has the problem solved at your house?”
She again nodded.
