I have been not enjoying weekends , don’t ask me why but apparently its beena dreary weekends lately. I found my self turned into a compete laidback person on earth, which is unhealthy. I should really find other cool new things to do rather than just hanging around with friends or staying at home.
I got up from bed and looked up to the clock. It’s already 9PM , and I’ve wasted 1 hour just to decide what to do today. I walked slowly with my bare feet, opened the curtain and greeted the morning skyline. I bet this will be a perfect day where I could loosen up every hassling thoughts. Then I went briskly to my bathroom, passed the full-length mirror that hang on the wall, I stopped and stared at my self. How nice, My hair was all muddled as so as my face. See? Weekend is such a big deal.
Things just went the same, always. I am still doing my daily routines, as a school girl. Going to school, Doing Homeworks, Hanging around with friends, or even staying at home. But there’s one thing that changed. I know I used to have this treasured time with someone that I knew as My Prince. I can say that I almost forgot that I had him all along, cause we used to hang out and together almost every possibilities. But now’s different.
I sat down on my couch after taking a quick shower and plainly dressed , still with no decision to make. I breathed leisurely and looked at the ticking clock. My tiny little heart starts to wonder, where are you now? What are you doing or how’s everything goin?. The last time we talked was 1 week ago and you said that you were preparing for the next Super Show and that mean that you’ll be out of town, again and again. I grab my cellphone near the bed lamp and looked at the screen without a blink. No sign from you. I tapped down your number, and a voice of Mailbox appeared and lucratively wounded my ear, and my feelings. Where could he be. It’s weekend so he should be at least had a time to send me messages or e-mails or calls.
I shook my head, tried to ripped off these thoughts that tried to get on my very nerves. I should remember that I pledge to my self that I have to Cherish the day. Suddenly my stomach was begging for breakfast, and I am craving for a strawberry waffle with strawberry toppings and vanilla ice cream on top. Looks like im gonna do some cooking for breakfast. So then I went downstairs still with my bare feet and plaid shirts with shorts, till then I heard a loud noise from the kitchen. Yeah my mom must be busy cooking for…. Lunch? She never cook anything for breakfast. I swiftly stopped walking and listen carefully, a bit frightened, I half-shouted
“Good Morning!! Mom are you cooking for our breakfast?”
Silence filled the air.
The noise just vanished all of a sudden, and no one even answering. If it was my mom, of course she would answer my call and continue making noises, if it was my maid she would answer me also. The fear of walking through the last 3 steps of the staircases surrounded me. I shouted,
“Hello???? Mom???”
Still silence.
I inhaled deeply and walked down the staircase , passed the Family room with a tip toed steps , I peeked to the kitchen, behind the wall. There’s no sign of someone, but the kitchen was a mess. I walked slowly to the kitchen, tried to see what’s the mess and noise is all about. A pack of flours, a milk that spoiled on the table , bucket of strawberries , a pot of boiling water , and—- a waffle maker.
Someone is trying to make a waffle—— with strawberries.
I goggled the view and tried to think before I walked out and asked my maid about this. I whispered to my self,
“Who’s making waffle?”
.
.
.
“I do”
Someone answered my question, a familiar voice.
I looked around, and a glimpse of happiness just struck me hard. You came out of hiding from the kitchen bar, white V neck shirt, knee high jeans, and a white towel that you tied in front of your forehead along to your head, and I noticed that you were holding a thin book. I abruptly startled, I couldn’t explain what to feel and what to say.
“C, I’ve tried, and I failed”
He raised his shoulder, looked upset and he got closer to me, handed me the book. Without even blinking, I looked to his flawless face.
“I read all the instructions that this book told me to, I’ve tried to mixed up all the ingredients, C. Then I failed …two waffles!” he explained vividly with his raised eyebrows .
Still without blinking, I could see he’s upset. I stroke his cheeks gently and said,
“How could you be this sweet?” I said and smiled. A grin on his face shown up, and he messed up my hair now with two hands.
“How could you be this miss-able?”, he said and buried my head inside his hugs and kissed my head, while I’m trying to breath cos of his powerful hug, which ended up biting his arm then he shouted in pain.
Laughters filled the air , now I guess the colorful day was just begun.
“Now show me the failed waffle!” I laughed. He widened his eyes, looked really surprised as if he doesn’t wanted to get embarrassed.
“I threw them to the garbage bin , I swear!”. He must be lying , even with those hands gestures shaping an ‘X’in front of his chest, I knew he lied. He walked infront of me, backwards and tried to block my way to the another messy kitchen bar in the corner of the room.
“No you must be lying!!! Come on I want a little bite! I’m hungry!!!” , I rubbed my stomach and said it infornt of his face, but he still blocking the way, now he widened his arms and keep shaking his head.
“OH MY GOD! THE WATER IS OVER BOILING!” I shouted to interrupts his blocks.
“What?”
I moved apace to the messy kitchen bar behind him and I saw two brown waffles with a dark brown color on its side. It wasn’t that bad. Only its over baked. I reached out my hand and tried to grab the waffle, but his grip was faster and stronger than me, so then he was locking my arms with his grips and he said,
“It’s un healthy! It’s over baked, C and it was my first trial! Don’t eat it!” He moved me away and he threw the two waffles to the trash can and he proudly smiled and said,
“Let’s find something else for my beloved princess’s breakfast! What do you want for breakfast C? I’m at your service!” he bowed and successfully made me laugh and threw my arms around him.
“I want nothing but to be with you this whole day! No I mean, all the time!” I said , looking through his lucid eyes.
“Will do, now lets stroll around the city!” he grabs my hand and walked me out from the kitchen.
“Siwonnie I have to change my clothes”. I cant imagine if im wearing this oversized T-shirt and shortpants to the city. He shooked his head and wont let me go from his grip.
“No c, lets just wear this, I wanted to be free for a while, and I want you to feel it too, the day is ours” he looked at me and smiled.

With my oversized T-shirt, shorts and a pair of flip-flops, I sat on the back seat, hugging you from the back, and my hair swayed with the playful wind in this humid day. We were riding a bike blissfully. You were paddling with such excitements, and I lay my head on your back, I could say this was perfect, I would love to be around you forever.
We passed the Foods Corner around downtown, and I am not interested in any foods. I am pleased , I supposed. You asked me hundreds of times what to eat and I’m sort of not interested in it.
The feeling that I had when he’s around is totally different from any other feelings, I feel save , I feel adored, I feel loved, I feel everything.
He suddenly stopped paddling in front of a Japanese Restaurant which is unfamiliar to me.
“How bout if we just stop here c?” he asked, and pointing to the unknown Japanese restaurant.
I shrugged. I constantly forgot about breakfast, and I didn’t even feel any hunger or a food beggar inside my tummy anymore. He did fulfill everything.
“Why is that c? you havent eaten anything yet, you must be hungry” he said with tilted head.
“No im not hungry anymore, lets just stroll around the city! Pretty pleaseee?” I hugged his back and begged.
“Are you sure?” now he got off from the bike and looked at me with his dashing dark eyes.
I nodded, then he messed up my hair—— again.
“Not for me , c. we sure need to find foods for you to eat” , a dimply smile lined across his face. I could’ve sworn I had the best view ever.
As we strolled around the city, I looked up to the bright sky, I thanked god for everything that had happened to me, everything is completely perfect. I captured every moment when I’m with you, yeah.. time stops. Time stops when I’m with you. You were still paddling with such excitements and my arms and head were still comfortably nestled around yours. Hence, I didn’t realized that you stopped paddling and you intend to got off from the bike.
“Where are we?” I asked, looking around. I sure don’t know where were we, there’s a bridge infront of us, and there’s a guy with a guitar, singing marvelously, with a box of coins infront of him. I got off from the bike and startled to see the man with a guitar, he’s an old man with a furry white beard, but he got a marvelous voice and people were there to watch him, with their heads nodding as if they were following it’s tune, and some of them were also clapping their hands .
“Siwonnie” I called his name once, but he didn’t answer, and my eyes were still looking at the singing old man.
“Siwonnie looked at that man” I called him once again and now I looked to my left. He wasn’t there. Surprised, I looked around to find him. And yes, I found him standing beside a HotDog Booth, looks like waiting for his order, he waved his hands to me with his wonderful smile. Knowing that , I decided to walked generously towards the singing old man, tried to enjoy the song like the other did. The old man sang a reggae song which I don’t know what it is , but I feel like my feet were geared up to dance.
A tap on my shoulder amused me when I lunged in with the tune of the song. I tilted my head to the right and you give me a medium-sized hotdog that you just bought.
“Don’t you feel hungry too?” I asked him, and he constantly shook his head.
“ No, but I have to make sure that you didn’t skip your breakfast because of my failed waffles” he said truthfully. I rubbed the back of his head and said.
“ You don’t need to feel sorry! I wasn’t even hungry!!” I said with a giggling tune.
“Cindyy… come on, eat it! Well at least, a bite!” . I could say that he was begging me, cause I can see his raised eye brows. Because of that, the warm hot dog entered my mouth, down through my throat, then to my stomach. Yes I can see a relief through his face, and I cant stand to laugh, he’s not like any other man.
“Watch this c”
He abruptly said as I finished eating the hot dog. He jumped in to the crowds, and he stood near by the scabby old man who’s still singing another reggae. He whispered something to the old man, and the old man replied it with smile and continued to sing with such excitements. He was still standing there, banging his head a little, following the tune. I swore I just cant help it to laugh, and I realized that it was such a stupid idea. People could recognize him in any minutes if he keep showing off like that, then I bet today will be ended up with fans chasing on the back of our bicycle then permanently stalking us everyday. I raised my hand, tried to give him a command to get back to where he belong, not standing in the middle of the crowd, innocently. Applauses filled the air when the old man done singing, and the crowds left him coins afterwards, as so did I.
Nothing’s more shocking than seeing you with the old man’s guitar on your hand, and you were standing there happily. I bet the crazy fan girl would recognize you then we’ll ended up chase by those girls.
“ Hello, well um—I wanted to sing a song for a girl, whom I loved the most, and yeah, she’s the reason of why am I standing here” he winked at me and grinned. Now I feel the crowds eyes were on me, and my heart was drumming fast, and my cheeks were burning in red.
“Here’s More Than Words for my one and only, Princess”
He started singing, and melted me in to a pond of puddles. I couldn’t believe I had him all along, he’s a perfect man figure, he’s a prince which I loved the most. I havent even seen him with guitar, I didn’t even know he could play guitar. Astonished, I moved closer to the front of the crowd and leap my self into him when he finished singing. I wrapped my arm around his body, and the crowds were cheering deafeningly.

I captured us wandered along the city with your black bike, up above us were the clear bright sky sprinkled with puffy clouds and a soothing wind. I remembered you asked me to come along , cause we were heading to your home. Your big home, or should I call.. Mansion?. I have never visited yours, and you invited me cause there’ll be a lot of fun things to do, so I merrily accepted your request.
“Arent you tired of paddling?” I asked him in a high pitched tone.
“don’t your worry c! my house is not far away from here” he answered.
I walked in to the exclusive mansion I ever saw. Garnished with white ceilings , floor , and furnitures. I looked around without a blink. Mr. Choi’s photographed hanged on the wall, he didn’t really look like siwon, but he got that elegant face.
“I’ve got something for you to see” he said, looking at me and grabbed me by the hand.
We walked through the big living room, the enormous hall, then you lead me to your backyard but not until someone called your name.
“Oppa!”
It was a girl.
A voice which…. I don’t know.
A clacking sound of high heels echoed through the hall. Someone must be on the way here, and it was a girl. I looked at your curious face. I was even more curious.
“Oppa I’ve been waiting for you!”
There, a perfect looking girl with black high heel, long legs, white skirts and blouse. Perfectly rounded eyes, small pale lips and a wavy shoulder length hair. Familiar, she must be a star.
The girl moved closer to Siwon, he didn’t say a word, but he did let me go of his grip.
I was standing right beside him when she freely leaped her self on him, wrapped her arm around his neck.
Devastated .
I knew I should get my self away from here, without looking back. This is utterly a surprise, he finally made It right.
“Where have you been? You should’ve been gone so long! What are you doing exactly?” the girl asked and she let go of her flirty grip.
“I—- uh—-I, oh hey! Let me introduce you—this is Cindy, My girlf—“
“Cindyy” I longed my hand and shakes her hand before he finished his sentence.
“Chae rim”.
Fine, she’s really is an actress. A famous Korean drama actress.
“Nice to meet you Cindy! Me and Siwon is gon—“
“Thank you, I don’t really need a specific information” I told her right through her face.
“And you! Congratulation, you finally made it right. This is such a wonderful surprise” I looked on his face, and I tried to hide away my tears to flow, I am emotionally mad at him.
“Let me explain C, you didn’t know the whole thing” he said , standing in front of me.
“Oppa come on! We don’t have much time” Chae rim took his arm and pulled him slowly.
“ This is awful, I knew I shouldn’t be here. I shouldn’t go with you, and I shouldn’t knew you anyway”
“What are you talking about c?”
I could see that sad face painted across your face. Or should I say, guiltiness?
Chae rim keeps yelling from the back, still pulling your hands.
You have been hanging out with her lately, I just knew it.
“Thank you for your surprise, I’m going home”.
I constantly turned around and walked apace to the front door, I tried hard to hide my tears. Even if I feel that I’m such a pile of junk, standing there watching your loved one be with someone else. I walked fast and thinking of looking back.
I did looked back.
And the best part is…
He wasn’t there watching me go.
He’s gone.
To be continued……..
