It had been weeks since Jun Pyo was hurt and Ashlee was beyond worried about him. What had happened? She had sent her daughter back to her brother a week ago and she was now pacing back and forth in her room. Her face feel and then news that Jun Pyo woke up. She sat up grabbed her car keys and she rushed over to the hospital.
When she got to the hospital to rushed to her room and her heels where making a loud clicking noise. She felt like her shattered heart was slowly being pulled back together and she regretted everything. She regretted running and not staying more so now then ever. She wanted him to know she loved and nothing could break them apart ever. She opened the door and she smiled she began to make her way towards him.
"Who is she?" Jun Pyo asked and she stopped dead in tracks. She looked around and the tears where welling up in her eyes. "Yi Jung please refrain from bringing your new toys here." He said and when he said that it was like a stabbing feeling in her heart.
"NURSE!" Jun Pyo's sister screamed and rushed out of the room. The tears where now cascading down her face and she turned around to leave.
"Ashlee wait..." Ji Hoo said rushed after her and he grabbed her arm. " It might be amnesia. Give it time Ashlee..." He said and she turned around to look at him. He sighed and pulled her into a hug.
"Why is it like this?" Ashlee asked and returned the hug. She felt wave after wave of sadness and she felt like her knees might give out from under her. She whimpered slightly and sniffled. "Ji Hoo what if he forgets about us forever?" She asked her mind went to her daughter Hye-jin and she felt her knees give out from.
"Ashlee! Ashlee!" Ji Hoo said and her heart shatter into a million pieces once again. "Please Look at me ashlee!" He said and she didnt move at all. She just stared off towards Jun Pyo's room.
As weeks went by it was clear Jun Pyo had no intention of remember her and it felt like her heart was slowly withering away. She did many things to make him remember her but that stupid girl always claimed she did it and she wanted to fight but she couldnt anymore. This was draining to much of energy and she sat down on her couch. She looked up at the ceiling and wondered if fate will ever let her be happy? Was she doomed ot be miserable? Will this rub off on her daughter? All these questions where running through her head.
"Ashlee?" A voice called and she looked ahead of her. Ji Hoo walked in and she forced a smile.
"Hey..." She said and through this whole thing Ji Hoo has been there for her. He was helping her get through everything. She stood up and walked over to him.
"Jun Pyo is throwing a party. Its formal and would you wanna go?"
"Why? So i can see the man i love being with someone else?"
"Ashlee..."
"I will go to bid farewell to him and return his necklace. Then i will disappear from your lives." She said and Ji Hoo grabbed her wrist. "Its for the best..."
"Ashlee stop acting like this..." Ji Hoo said and she looked up at him. "I can promise you none of us want that!" He said and she shook her head. "Ashlee!" He warned and she she ripped her hand away.
"Lets not fool ourselves we both know he moved on..." She said and turned around to go get dressed. "Pick me up 2 hours before the dread time." She said and walked away. She was going to bury the past and bury Jun Pyo.
It was the day of the party and Ji Hoo did as he was asked. Ashlee wasnt anywhere to be seen and he looked around. This was odd but he just sat down at the table and wanted for her. He didnt know what she was doing but he did call to let her know he was here and so he sat there for 2 hours.
Ashlee heard Ji Hoo and she knew it was today. She walked to closet and reached in to grabbed a dress that was in white back. She tossed it in her bed and went to get dress. With each step she took her heart was slowly freezing her comes her goodbye to him. She forced a smile on her face and made her way out of the bathroom. She was walking down the stairs and Ji Hoo stood up. He was merely staring at her in shook.
Ashlee was wearing red evening gown with the v-neck that illusion bodice what was veiled in shimmering sequences and gave wonder view of her cleavage. The clhiffon skirt has a side slit going up to her mid thigh on the left side and seemed to dance of the floor when she walked. The dress had thin straps that seemed to tie the dress together as whole wonderfully. Her blonde was pulled up in a elegant bun that had strands of curly hair falling down at random places. She had a red rub necklace in the shape of a heart with matching bracelet and earrings. Her eyes had a smokey look to them and her lips where as red as her rubies. Her shoes where a red stiletto adding on a few inches.
Ji Hoo knew she was serious when she said she was going to tell him good-bye. This was the ending for Jun Pyo and he hoped something would bring his best friend back to his senses. He shook his head and offered her his hand. Both of them left her house and made their to formal party.
When they entered all eyes landed on them and everyone was staring down Ashlee. Whispers about how beautiful she was and how lucky Ji Hoo was. She forced a smile and continued to walk beside Ji Hoo. Before long her three other friends joined her side. They where giving her the courage she needed and she took deep breathes before looking around eveyrone. She wondered where Jun Pyo was but her question was answer shortly when she saw him walk up to a stage with that bitch.
"Thank you all for coming! I wanted to let you know that Jun Pyo proposed to me and i agreed. WE are going to study in the USA next month." She said and Ashlee felt any hope she had left die.
Ji Hoo heard that and he looked at Ashlee. He could see any hope in her eyes die and he glared at his friend. He smiled down at Ashlee and Yi Jung wrapped his arms around her shoulder trying to comfort her. He knew that wouldnt fix the hurt she feeling and they led her away from the two. Ji Hoo pulled his jacked off and put it on her shoulders.
"Ashlee..." Ji Hoo said and before he could finish she shook her head.
"Don't Ji Hoo. I knew it from the start we werent meant to be. Excuse me." Ashlee said and walked off. She walked off towards the pool and wrapped her arms around herself as she stared down at the water. She was there for god knows when and when she turned to leave and her phone buzzed. She pulled it out and read the text. Her daughter didnt want her come back without her daddy. She sighed and put her phone back and when she looked up there he was.
"Great timing." Ashlee said and he looked at her confused. She dug into her pocket and pulled out the locket. She looked over at him and walked over to him. She slammed it into his chest. "I dont care anymore Jun Pyo. " She said and he looked at her like she was crazy. "Take it i dont want it anymore."
"Why would i want it?" He asked and she looked at him.
"Just trash it!" She said and he laughed.
"Trash is yourself." He said and tossed it at her feet.
"You really have changed." She said and bent down to pick it up.
"How would you know?"
"Let me ask you something...do you know to swim?"
"No."
"Actually you do. I taught you on the island. We helped each other conquer our fears. I know you love to star gaze and take Hye-jin out without my permission. YOur afraid of kids yet you love her. YOu spoil her to the point i wanna punch you. YOu act tough but your actually a sweet heart. You just want to stay at home with the one you love rather then going out. I know so much more about."
"Who the hell are you!"
"Someone who you used to love. "
"Liar! The only one i love is that women i was with earlier."
"Thats true then i dont need this anymore." Ashlee said and tossed it in the pool. "Its trash anyway right?" She said and he looked at her.
"Who the hell are you!" He snapped and she smiled sadly. She looked around and saw Ji Hoo watching her and she smiled sadly.
" Call my name once...then you will know. " She said and she pulled off Ji Hoo's jacket. "I can't make you stay here. I just want you to be free of me." She said and walked towards the pool. "Hye-jin can't be happy with just one of us so i will make it so she doesnt have to worry anymore." She said and she turned around to face him. "Good-bye Jun Pyo." She said and she looked towards Ji Hoo. She smiled before falling backwards into the pool. She was floated towards the bottom and she reached over to grab her necklace. She pulled it close to her heart and she closed her eyes.
Jun Pyo watched this crazy girl fling herself into the pool and she kept talking Hye-jin. Who was that? He watched as she submerged into water and he just start at the pool. Something in him clicked and he blinked. Wave after wave of memories came flooding back into him like a raging river. There where countless memories and then there was one memory that stood above the others. One memory that had him shook.
shlee shook her head and crossed her arms over her chest as she stared down the daught-daddy duo. She was tapping her foot as she looked at the scene before her and of course the two made a mess. There was flower everywhere from them trying to bake a cake and she smiled. She grabbed some napkins and bent down in front of them. She began to wipe flour off of her daughter's face and then she looked over at Jun Pyo. She smiled and did the same for him. She leaned in and kissed him.
"EWWWW! Mommy daddy no do that!" Hye-jin complained and the two broke apart.
"Aww does daddy's little Hye-jin not want me to kiss mommy?" Jun Pyo teased and Hye-jin made a disgusted face. He reached in and kissed Ashlee again.
"DADDYYY!" Hye-jin squealed and the two laughed.
"Bath time little missy!" Ashlee said and stood up. She bent down to pick up her daughter.
"Ashlee, Hye-jin i love you two girls very much." Jun Pyo said and Ashlee smiled.
"We love you to!" Ashlee said and made her way up the stairs.
Meanwhile when Ji Hoo saw Ashlee fling herself into the water he rushed over to them. He came to a skidding halt when he saw her. It didnt take long for everyone else to run over and everyone stopped where they stood. They looked at the scene with sadness and yet no one made a move to dive in after her.
"Ashlee...Ashlee!" Jun Pyo said and turned around. He dove into the water and swam over to get her. Her grabbed her and began to swim to edge. He pulled her onto the cement and pulled himself out himself. He began CPR on her and he looked down at her. "Ashlee please dont leave me. Stay here with me!" He said and continued to do CPR.
Everyone watched as Jun Pyo began to give her CPR and yet nothing was working. There was no sign of life from Ashlee and Ji Hoo could feel the tears gathering in his eyes. How can the only women he loved die before him like that? Its not fair and he could feel the tears streaming down his face and he knew he wasnt the only one crying.
"Ashlee please..." Jun Pyo said and pulled her closed to him. "Please...i am sorry." He said and Ashlee's hand moved slightly. She started coughing and Jun Pyo look down at her.
"ARE YOU CRAZY! IF YOU EVER DO SOMETHING SO RECKLESS AGAIN I WILL KILL YOU OR LOCK YOU AWAY!" Jun Pyo screamed and she looked up at him with a smile.
"So you remember us?" Ashlee asked and before she knew it Jun Pyo hugged her.
"Ashlee i am so sorry." He said and she couldnt help but smile.
A few weeks later Hye-jin arrived back in Korea and both her parents where waiting for her. As soon as she saw her mommy and daddy she let go of her uncle's hand. She ran over to them and stumbled slightly. Before she could hit the ground arms where wrapped around her and she looked up to see her daddy.
"Careful baby girl." Jun Pyo said and picked her up.
"Hey sis!" Ashlee's brother said and walked over to the pair.
"Hey!" Ashlee said and the four of them left. They all loaded up in Ashlee's car.
A few days later everyone was gathered at a party Jun Pyo was having and Ashlee didn't understand why all her family was here. She just shook her head and walked over to her group of friends. Hye-jin was sticking to Jun Pyo's side like glue and she found it super cute. She made it to them and she smiled.
"Hey guys!" Ashlee said and the boys smiled at her.
"Hey Ashlee!" Jan Di said and smirked. Ashlee could tell something was off with Jan Di and she crossed her arms over her chest.
"Hmmm..." Ashlee said and before she could ask a question the music that was playing stopped.
"Thank you everyone for coming tonight." Jun Pyo said and Ashlee turned to look up at him. "Over the years i had fallen in love with Ashlee and when she was gone she never left my heart. She is the most important person to me and i cant imagine my life without her. She gave me my beautiful daughter Hye-jin and has made me beyond happy. She is the love of my life and i cherish her. I invite you all here because i have something important to ask her." He said and began to walk towards her. "Ashlee i cant imagine my life with you. Your my world and without i won't ever be happy. I promise i will cherish you and love you forever. Will you do me the honor of marrying me?" Jun Pyo asked and he got down one knee. Ashlee got wide eyed and smiled.
"Yes. I cant imagine my life without you either." Ashlee said and a lot of cheering could be heard. Jun Pyo stood up and slipped the ring on her finger.
