"Hi Sharon, am right over here". Millet said waving at her.
Sharon looks at her, faking a smile. "Oh Millet, you are here, I didn't see you".
"Really Sharon you didn't". Millet asked, and Sharon bits her lips.
"Anyways, am sorry I interrupted you both earlier". Millet said with a smile.
"We weren't doing anything wrong Millet". Jesse said.
"Yes, Millet, I was just thanking him for returning my diary, he was the one who found it". Sharon said showing her the diary, so she could believe.
"I didn't say anything Sharon, well am glad you got your diary back, thanks Jesse". Millet said and Jesse nods with a smile, as he secretly looks at Sharon.

"Why are you so mad Violet, is just a job". Nikky said.
"Are you that stupid not to even know how to think, Jesse is now Sharon's driver, I won't have cared if it was someone else, why does it have to be that Sharon of all people".
"Why are so mad at Sharon anyway, what has she done to you".
"I can't tell Nikky, I just hated her the moment I saw her, you know about the saying love at first sight, but I hated her at first sight". Violet said angrily.

Sharon got to a point.
"This is where she was buried". Sharon said the moment she sees her mom's name on the grave, she squat on the floor facing the grave wearing a sad face, and Jesse looks her.
"Mom,,,,,,how are you doing, am sorry it took so long for me to visit you I was sent to America the moment you died,,,and I just recently came back, and dad,,,,,he is still as strict as before or should I say he has even become more worst". Sharon said sniffing in tears and continues.

"That enough Sharon, stop crying".
"I just miss her so much Jesse, I just miss her so much". Sharon said crying. Jesse cleans her tears and place Sharon's head on her shoulder patting her.
"Even if you miss her so much Sharon, the dead can never raise again, that why you have to accept it and move on,,,,, and,,,,,,,am,,,, always here for you Sharon". Jesse said. And Sharon wrapped her hands around his waist, as her head was still on her shoulder, as, she allows her tears to flow, down her cheeks, and Jesse continues patting her.

"Oh that fish ball Sharon". He answers with a smile.
"Fish ball". Sharon asked, she looks at Jesse and back to the fish ball, she hasn't tasted such in her entire life.
"Do you want some". Jesse asked, Sharon looks at him and nods with a smile.
"Then let get some,,,let me be the first person to treat out here in Korea". Jesse said with a smile, and came down from the car.

"Why wrong Sharon you don't like it".
"Is not like that Jesse, I don't know how to start eating this". Sharon said and bits her lips. Jesse smiles and said.

"So how long have you both been dating". She asked, and she immediately cause herself inwardly, for asking such question.
Jesse looks at her with a confused face. "Dating who??????".
Sharon looks at him and said inwardly. *Is he seriously asking me that*. She clears her throat again and said.
"You and Violet,,,,she is your girlfriend right".
And Jesse immediately burst into a laugh, and Sharon wonder what was funny.
"Why are you laughing Jesse".
"Because is funny Sharon, Violet,,,,,,,my girlfriend". He said and laugh again.
"What so funny Jesse". Sharon asked already getting angry, but who was she to get angry, anyways, she thought.
"Because is funny Sharon,,, Violet is not my girlfriend, why will you even think she is". Jesse said tying so hard to control his laughter.
"If she is not your girlfriend, then who is she to you". Sharon asked curiously.
"We grew up together Sharon, she is my childhood friend and my best friend,,,, Violet is not my girlfriend". Jesse said as he laughs again,, because it was so funny to him.
"So,,,,,,she is not your girlfriend". Sharon asked again just to be sure.
"Violet is not my girlfriend,,,,she is my best friend". Jesse said,,, and Sharon looks at him.
*So they are not dating,,,,, Violet is not his girlfriend*. Sharon asked and a huge smile appears on her face.
