Winter & Autumn (1/1)

Jisoo sighed and pondered while watching the snowfall. The name Gaeul had became sacred by now. It belonged to her, obviously! However, it didn’t belong to her anymore due to her stupidity. She let it became somebody else. It hurt a lot when she heard him calling out that name when he was unconscious. But she knew she had no rights to be hurt.  “But I can still get it back!” She said to herself, “How?” She tapped her fingers on the desk while she thought of a way to make it her nickname and to make him call her by that name.  She then snapped her fingers when she thought of a great idea. A very simple idea and hopefully it’d work. A plan like this would get the ordinary boys swoon but to Im Jaebum, who had an unpredictable personality, it would be a tough ordeal. She shrugged her shoulders then shook her head, she decided to deal with Im Jaebum’s unpredictable outcome after she carried out the plan.  ––•••–– After Kwangsoo’s message to Jaebum’s dad regarding his collapse at home, Dad immediately relayed the message back to Great Grandmother Im. It scared her so much that she ordered for Jaebum to be back at the main house immediately. So he could be under the care of their private doctor.  Jaebum was not very happy when he was brought back to the house. Yet, he had to deal with them. Kwangsoo was requested by Jaebum to stay with him until he was well. For whatever reason, Jaebum seemed to like having Kwangsoo around. He had a habit of changing chauffeurs after a month or two. So when he stuck to Kwangsoo, his father made sure that the request was fulfilled. If Jaebum could have it his way, he would change the whole staff waiting on him as he deemed them as belonging to his Great Grandmother and were only there to spy on him. They would report his every moves back to his Great Grandmother and he didn’t like that. Even though he didn’t like them, he didn’t make it hard on them, he was a very respectful kid that was not hard to handle at all. The staff kind of liked him.  Jaebum was lying on his bed, reading leisurely when Kwangsoo came over and stood beside him. Kwangsoo secretly couldn’t keep it in so he let a little smile slipped out before whispering to him. “Young Master.”  “Hm?” Jaebum couldn’t be bothered to raise his eyes at him.  “Miss Jisoo called.”  Jaebum closed his eyes and exhaled, that name was deemed as sacred in the main house. The name that brought him so much headaches the past days. He didn’t want anyone to know further about her. Even though he knew that Great Grandmother probably already had her whole family investigated.  “Young Master…” Kwangsoo whispered. “What does she wants?” “She wants to see you.”  “Tell her no.” Jaebum answered flatly. He still remembered the other night. It was not that he was embarrassed, it was just that he was still sick, and the thought of her brought up some discomfort.  “She said it’s urgent, she has something to tell you.” Kwangsoo relayed back the message as best as he could.  “Why couldn’t she just tell it to you?” “She said she wanted to confess to you.”  Jaebum snorted and laughed in jest, “This girl really has no shame,” he sighed and closed his book.  ––•••–– Jisoo waited for Jaebum underneath the tree neared the Lake House. She had plan to confess to him. Not the type of confess of love as she did it before. This was her attempting to get back her nickname. She had decided to call him Gyeoul as a nickname with the excuse that he was unconsciously calling her Gaeul when he was sick. Hopefully that he’d feel bad and embarrassed about the other night, he would accept immediately. It was a well thought out plan. No boyfriend would want their girlfriend to misunderstand them calling out a different name other than their girlfriend’s, so if she said it this way, he would play along to get over the explanation part.  “Jaebum-ah,” Jisoo said sweetly while pinching on the end of his sleeve. He stared at her with head slightly tilted. Jisoo wanted to hold his hand and stare into his eyes, but she chickened out when she saw his intense gaze. Resulted to having her head down and fingers pinching his sleeve. Feet gently kicking the ground.  “Kwangsoo said you have something to say to me?” Jaebum responded.  “I want to confess.”  Jaebum smirked. From the time he came to the time she started to stutter, trying to propose something, he had his eyes locked on her. Jisoo couldn’t bear to look at him, she looked down over at his sleeve and attempted a conversation. “I’m over here, Kim Jisoo-shi.” Jaebum called for her attention, “Please give your boyfriend some attention if you’re going to drag him out in the cold for a confession.”  Jisoo scrunched up her face then raised her head to look at him. Images from the other night was still crystal clear to her. That blushed face of his when he had the fever, the voice that was calling out her name softly. Jisoo quickly
