ChangMin and JeongHyun (english verson)

Waiting

Jeong Hyun vision

Lying on the sofa in the living room, Jeong Hyun was processing what he had heard from Chang Min, trying not to be completely shaken by his ex's sweet and profound words, which, despite having had it, still made him feel butterflies in his stomach.

The phone rings in the distance and he gets up looking for the device that was in his room, it was his agent wanting to understand the call with an apology he received from the customer they met last night, Jeong Hyun explains everything that happened, including the appearance from the owner of the restaurant who happened to be his ex, he asks that no appointments be made for the next few days, as he needed some time with himself.

-You are well? -The current agent is a former fan, he had watched the reality show and at first he was also rooting for the ChangJeong couple's relationship, he had worked with Jeong Hyin for 3 years and in that time I always knew that the ex's name was a delicate matter to touch. Had it not been for a family emergency the night before, everything could have gone their separate ways, but he believed in destiny, and in those years he became not only an agent, but also a friend of Jeong Hyun and worried about him.

-I'm fine, I just need to digest what happened yesterday and what I heard today.-What did you hear today?

-We'll talk later, I swear I'll tell you and listen to your advice, but now I really don't want to talk about it. -Jeong's voice sounded serious, thoughtful and confused, not even he himself could explain what he heard and what he felt that morning.

-Okay, then rest! If you need anything, you know you can count on me. -For the agent, Jeong Hyun will become like a younger brother.

Jeong Hyun hangs up and sits on the sofa, turns on the TV and looks for something that can distract him from his confused thoughts, but realizes that this task is not so easy. On TV, dating programs, romantic Kdramas, MVs of songs that talked about love, Podcasts talking about reconciliations and so on, with each new channel he passed, the subject was addressed. Turn off the TV, change clothes and decide to take a walk in the park near your house.

The cherry trees are full of flowers and the weather is pleasant, the breeze that hits your face brings a unique tranquility. He sits on a bench and watches the people walking around him: couples in full display of affection, children running and playing, a vision of peace. He leans back and closes his eyes as he feels the wind on his face. It has been a while since he visited that park where he had good memories, the feeling of nostalgia invades him along with the smell of the grass that is watered nearby by the sprinklers.

His moment is interrupted by the cell phone vibrating in his pocket, he looks at the screen and sees two messages, they were from Chan Kyu:

[What happened? Chang Min has been insisting that I send you his number for hours, did you talk?]

The other message contained Chang Min's contact number. Jeong Hyun takes a deep breath and replies to his friend:

[We ran into each other last night, long story, I didn't want to give him my number so he said he'd send his for you.]

[You two are hopeless and still put me in the middle!]

[Sorry about that!]

[Okay, you know I'm rooting for both of you, if you need to talk, call me, I won't interfere, you're adults, sort yourselves out, I just want to see you happy]

[Thanks! But I still have a lot to think about]
The weather started to warm up and he thought it was time to go home. "Why did I agree to stay and have dinner with him?!" she thought as she looked at Chang Min's contact on her cell phone screen. "Why doesn't the barrier I've built up in my chest over the years have any effect when it comes to him?! ". Arriving home and without much to do, he throws himself on the bed and starts messing with his cell phone, surfing the Internet looking for something that even he doesn't know how to say, but the first thing he throws in the search bar is him: Chang Min.In another corner of the city, Chang Min, as usual, organizes the materials, ingredients and everything he needs for restaurants, methodical, he likes to closely supervise the entire process of selecting the vegetables before distributing them among the branches. But all employees notice his distraction, constantly looking at his cell phone as if expecting an important call or message.-Is Mr Kin expecting a call? -An employee asks to solve the curiosity of everyone in the place.-Hum yes! -Replied visibly airy without even paying much attention to the question and checking the cell phone screen once again.That night Chang Min also took time off, for the first time he couldn't focus on anything, if he could deal with customers without appearing to be distracted, and it was impossible to take his anxious eyes off the cell phone screen.He sends a message to Chan Gyu as he gets into his car on the way home:[Did you really send my number?][For the 3rd time Chang Min: YES, I SENT HIM YOUR NUMBER]
[Sorry, I'm anxious, what if he really doesn't want to talk to me anymore?!][I don't know what you talked about, but from what I see, it touched the wounds of the two. If you want some advice: just give him some time]
[I'll do it!]
Upon entering the house and after a long shower, Chang Min puts some calm music on and throws himself on his bed. As it hasn't happened in a long time, his happy memories with Jeong Hyun invade him and he wonders what it would be like if he had fought for his heart, he blames himself for not being able to balance all areas of their lives and include love in that balance. But what is left for him now is to wait, he closes his eyes and remembers the morning of that day, when he almost kissed Jeong Hyun, when he felt his breath close, his fresh smell so characteristic of him, his eyes that even after everything he faced remain sweets, her voice that brings you sweet memories, her mouth so well designed that it will leave you in a deep and absolute trance thirsty for a kiss. He takes the cell phone again, "no notification", opens his photo gallery after a few clicks and passwords, in a hidden folder and there it is, hidden under a folder masking, the JH folder with the photos from the time he was with Jeong Hyun, there he remembers the details of his beloved and compares it with the memory of the last meeting, "He really is more beautiful than ever, and like the first time I saw him, when I fell in love, I definitely fell in love with him again tonight ." he falls asleep looking at the last photo in the gallery: the photo he took last night, when he saw Jeong Hyun in the distance at his meeting. He thought at the time that he wouldn't have the chance to talk to him again, thinking he didn't deserve a rapprochement, until he saw the unfolding of events with that client, until he gathered the strength and courage to show himself present and trigger everything that happened.The days go by slowly, Jeong Hyun goes back to his commitments and between photo shoots and advertisement recordings, he allows himself the luxury of going out with friends from time to time, among these outings, the quartet Jeong Hyun, Chan Kyu , Eun Chan and Hokeep had a date scheduled for the weekend, having not seen their date friends for a long time, he was excited to have fun with them and know the news. It's always fun to be with this group, they usually go to parks, take pictures, play games and have dinner talking about random things in life.Chang Min tries to get back to focusing on his work, it had been more than a week and he had not received any contact signals, so he decided to give Jeong Hyun some extra time to think, hoping to have a new chance of happiness. He knew it wouldn't be easy, he was the one who caused so much suffering for both of them, he was the one who caused them to be separated, but seeing Jeong Hyun again brought him the certainty that his feelings had not died, so this time he would fight with all forces, this time there would be no excuses or obstacles, he was willing to do whatever he could to win his second chance. Passing by the branches of his franchise for the usual checks, he is informed that that night Chan Kyu would be off and according to the employees, who like in any establishment, love a good gossip, he would meet with friends from Reality. Chang Min soon suspected that Jeong Hyun would be tagging along. Many thoughts, ideas sprout in his head, he knew where the group usually met, suddenly he looked like a teenager smiling alone while the employees watched him in astonishment:- Is he smiling?-He rarely smiles like that!-He's sick?-He's in another world...He excuses himself to the staff, grabs his coat at the entrance and leaves, leaving behind the hubbub of the staff and guesses as to where he was going in such a hurry.
