"God damn it!"
Zel sighed in frustration and hung up his phone. He started to pace around
Xelloss' room.
"Zel hyung (1),
calm down!"
Zel turned to
look at the younger guy with violet hair. He had a very peeved expression. "You
sure you don't have any idea where Lina switched her job to?"
Xel shooked his
head as patiently as he could. "Nope. I really don't know." Xel leaned back in
the chair he was sitting in and sighed. "Beside, why are you so worked up over
her? You like her or something?" Xel smirked at the blush forming on Zel's
face.
"I do not like
her!" Zel growled and then looked up at Xel with a sly look. "Look who's
talking!"
Xel blushed.
"Um…um…where'd you get that idea!?"
"Chamna (2).
It's obvious you know!" Zel ruffled Xel's hair.
"Really?" Xel
sighed. "I was hoping that it wasn't that obvious."
"You're talking
to the art genius here. I notice those kind of thing pretty well."
Xel stared at
Zel. Eh? He notices those stuff well? Then how come he didn't notice that
Lina had some feelings for him. Xel turned his head away from Zel bitterly.
Zel glanced at
his watch and groan. "Well I got to run now. Amelia wants to meet me at a
restaurant to have dinner. If you find Lina, call me immediately ok?" Zel waved
and left.
"Well buddy,
have fun with that vivacious girl of yours." Xel smirked and sighed. Lina…where
did you go? You even left home and got your own apartment somewhere that even
your family don't know. Please come back soon…

"Good evening
Zel oppa (3)," Amelia greeted with a smile.
Zel just gave
her a wary look. "Yeah. Good evening to you too."
"Any luck with
Lina?"
Zel looked up
suddenly. "How'd you know about that?"
"Filia told me."
Amelia said calmly.
That sister
of mine… "I see." Zel
said coldly.
"I met Lina the
other day. She called me up and ask if we could have a cup of coffee."
Zel looked up
with a surprise look. "Really? What did she say?"
"She wanted me
to give you a message," Amelia smiled evilly to herself. "She told me this: 'I
want you to please tell Zel that I wished that he wouldn't hang around with me
anymore. I want him to just leave me alone for the rest of my life.' That was
what she wanted me to tell you."
Zel just looked
as if he was just slapped. Lina told Amelia that? No…no way…it can't be!
Lina isn't that cruel or heartless. No…I refuse to believe that!
"How do I know
that you are telling the truth?" Zel growled.
Amelia put on
her most innocent look. "I do not lie about this kind of stuff Oppa. I do not.
I swear to God, that this is the truth."
Zel just slumped
down in his chair. She can't be lying. She is the lover of justice. She
wouldn't lie to me. She considers that injustice right? So she's telling the
truth…
"So Oppa. Shall
we start planning for the wedding?" Amelia asked.
Zel gave her a
look that was unreadable. She just dumped me like I was nothing huh? She
didn't have the guts to just tell me in the face huh? Well guess what Lina. I
am not gonna be taken as a fool. I will marry Amelia and forget all about you
too.
"Yes. Let's plan
the wedding."

6 months
later. In June…
Lina looked up
from the flour she was pounding. She was in a restaurant where they sell
noodles and all kind of food. She was in Itaewon (4), a place she knew that her
friends who are more of Kang Nam (5) people wouldn't come down here. That last
six month for her was hell. Oh the money and the food were good, but without
Zel, things were miserable. Lina looked at the phone near her. Maybe I
should just give him one call?
Lina sighed and
went back to work.
