CHAPTER 21
“Jooyeon-ah!” a voice called that made you stopped on your spot. You shut your eyes closed as you take a deep breath. *What do you want now?*
You slowly spun around only to see JB running towards you with a wide smile on his face. You frowned, “JB?!” you gaped. His smile vanished when he noticed your red eyes, “Did you cried?” he asked in a worried tone.
You shook your head, “No. I’m not.” you replied as you force a smile. JB’s expression remained worried aa he study your face.
“Wae? Don’t stare at me like that.” you said nervously. “Of you didn’t cry, why your eyes are red then?” he asked. You paused on it to think for a reason.
“See? You can’t say anything because what I said was true. Don’t hide it, I know you cried.” he said. “No! My eyes are red because there’s something hit my eyes that’s why..” you said.
“Your both eyes hmm?” he raised an eyebrow. “Aish chincha! I already said I’m not, okay.” you said.
“Stop denying, will you?” he said, seriously. You laugh nervously, “Yah! Why are you so serious? I said I’m not so believe me, okay?” you replied.
“I want to believe you but..” his expression didn’t change. It suddenly caught your attention that made your expression change to a serious one. “..but I saw you crying.” he finished his sentence. Your eyes widen, stunned on what he just said.
“Y-You saw?” you gaped. He nodded. You look away, embarassed. “What he have done to you?” he asked.
“E-Eh?” you gasped. “The guy with you ealier. What he have done to you to make you cry like that?” he asked, a bit pissed.
You shook your head, “He didn’t do anything. He’s not the reason of my tears.” you defended Myungsoo. “Then what’s the real reason?” he asked.
You let out a sigh, “I don’t want to talk about it. Why are you here anyway? I thought you already went home?” you suddenly change the topic.
JB want to respect you so he didn’t ask anymore. “I was about to go on my way when I suddenly feel hungry. I’m going to a dukbokki stand until I saw you here so that’s why..” he explained. A half of what he said was true and half was totally a lied.
“Ohh..” you nodded in understanding.
“Come on. Go with me and eat.” he offered. You shook your head, “No, I’m not hungry.” you said but your stomach make a sound which is the opposite of your replied.
You hold your stomach and look at the other way, embarassed. JB chuckled, “Not hungry eh?” he teased. “Araseo. I’ll go with you since my stomach wants to.” you replied.
JB brightened, “Yay! Kaja!” with that, he wrapped his arms around your shoulder as dragged you to the dukbokki stand.
---
“Ahjussi, 2 plates of dukbokki please.” JB shouted as both of you sat in one of the table there. “Ne. 2 plates of dukbokki, coming up!” the ahjussi shouted back.
“Did you usually eat here?” you asked as you scanned the place. JB smiled and nodded, “Their dukbokki here is really good.” he proudly beamed.
Suddenly, the ahjussi came while holding the orders. “2 plates of dukbokki, Jaebum.” the ahjussi said. JB smiled, “Not that long, just call me JB, ahjussi.” he said.
The ahjussi smiled, “I more prefer to call you Jaebum than JB.” JB pouted as the ahjussi chuckled. Suddenly, the ahjussi noticed you. “Who is she?” he asked JB.
“She’s Jooyeon, my new friend.” JB said. “Friend hmm?” the ahjussi give him an amused smile. You stared at JB, puzzled. JB laugh nervously, “Uh.. Ahjussi, there are lot of customer today. You must busy right now right?” JB change the topic.
The ahjussi got the hint as he nodded. “I’m going now. Enjoy your meal Jooyeon and Jaebum.” with that, the left.
You just stared at JB, clueless. “Just don’t mind him. Go and eat.” JB said as he nodded to your dukbokki for you to eat. You nodded slowly and do what he said.
---
“I’ll walk you home.” JB warmly offered as both you two left thw dukbokki stand. You nodded and let him walk you home.
Just after a few minutes, you both reach your home. “We’re here.” you whispered that made JB look at you.
You smiled at him and bowed, “Thank you for walking me home. Annyeong! See you at school tomorrow.” you waved.
JB waved back as you entered the house. He let out a heavy sigh as he put his hands on his pockets. *I know that guy was the reason of your tears even you didn’t say it. I don’t know yet what he have done to you but I’m going to find it.* with that, he leave your neighborhood.
CHAPTER 22
Morning came. You automatically woke up as the sun finally rises. You went to your bathroom to get ready for school. As you were ready, you went downstairs to meet Jiyeon there.
“Uh.. unnie, ready now?” she asked. You smiled and nodded, “But Myungsoo oppa isn’t here yet.” Jiyeon said. “It’s okay. I still need to prepare my bag. I didn’t check it yet.” you replied.
“Uh-oh..” Jiyeon nodded in understanding. You then get your bag to check it.
Suddenly, the door bell rang. “Must be Myungsoo oppa!” Jiyeon brightened as she approach the door. Your face fell after you see your twin’s brightened face.
As Jiyeon opened the door, a unfamiliar figure popped on her sight. It was JB. He stared at her for a long time until he finally spoke, “When did your hair grow like that?” JB pointed at Jiyeon’s hair.
Jiyeon innocently touch her hair, “It’s naturally long.” she replied. JB was about to ask her again when you suddenly called, “Jiyeon-ah, Is Myungsoo already arrive?” you asked as you also approach the door.
To your surprised, JB was there. “Uh.. JB-ah!” you smiled. JB shockingly stared at you then to Jiyeon. You study his face and noticed his confusion. “Unnie, did you know him?” Jiyeon suddenly asked.
You nodded, “He’s JB, the new student and also my new friend.” you introduced as Jiyeon nodded in understanding.
“Um.. JB, this is Jiyeon, my twin sister.” you said to him. JB raised an eyebrow, “You have a twin? Why didn’t you tell me? I thought she’s you. So embarassing.” he said as he shyly rubbed the back of his neck.
“But you didn’t ask me.” you said. JB pouted. You chuckled.
“Myungsoo oppa!” you heard Jiyeon squealed as Myungsoo arrived at the house. Your smile vanished as you look at his direction. “Uh-oh.. Isn’t he’s the guy in our class and also the guy last—” you cut him off as you covered his mouth.
Myungsoo and Jiyeon look at you, suspiciously. You weakly smiled, “Don’t mind him.” you then released him and mouthed, ‘Don’t mention it anymore.’
“What is he doing here anyway?” Myungsoo asked. You look at JB, “Uh yeah. What are you doing here anyways?” you asked.
“I want to walk you to school.” he simply replied. “Eh?!” you gaped. “Your my only friend at our school and I don’t want to be alone walking to school.” he shrugged.
“Him? What is he doing here either?” JB nodded to Myungsoo’s direction. “Uh-oh..” Jiyeon cut you off, “He’s here to fetch me.”
“She’s right. Myungsoo is her boyfriend.” you explained. JB look stared at you in disbelief.
“Let’s just go now, okay. School is waiting.” Myungsoo irritatedly said. Jiyeon nodded in agreement as she hugged Myung’s arm and started to walk. JB didn’t leave his eyes on you. “Kaja!” you whispered to him as you started to walk. JB followed as he look at you worriedly.
---
Lunch break. You, JB and Myungsoo leave the classroom to eat lunch. Suddenly, Jiyeon appeared. “Myungsoo oppa! Unnie! And JB-ssi!” she waved and smiled.
You smiled back and so was JB. Jiyeon then hugged Myungsoo’s arm, “Let’s go eat.” Myungsoo smiled an nodded. “Let’s go unnie.” Jiyeon look back at you.
“You two go first. I have something to do.” you replied. “Uh-oh..” she nodded as they finally disappeared from your sight.
You let out a heavy sigh, feel relieved. “You like him, don’t you?” you heard JB asked.
CHAPTER 23
“You like him, don’t you?” JB suddenly asked. You gulped and look at him, “Eh?” you asked.
“That Myungsoo..” he nodded to Myungsoo’s direction, “..you like him, am I right?” he said. You nervously laugh, “What are you saying?! Of course not!” you said as you continu laughing nervously.
“Uh come on Jooyeon-ah.. I know you like him. I can see it.” he said with a serious expression. You stopped laughing and make yourself to look at JB seriously.
He look back at you, raising an eyebrow. You lowered your head and let out a small sigh, “Yes, I do.” you whispered. JB look down at you, worried.
You laugh a little, “You’re so cool for you to notice my feelings foe him.” you said. “No. It’s because I’m not stupid like him for not to notice.” JB replied.
Your face fell, “No. I’m the one who’s stupid not him. I’m so stupid to love a guy that can’t love me back..” a tear slipped down to your cheek all of a sudden.
“Jooyeon-ah, gwenchana?” he asked worriedly. You quickly wiped your tear, “Mianhe.” you weakly smiled, “Let’s go eat now.” you asked.
“But—” “Please.. I don’t want to talk aboit it anymore.” you said as you started to walk. JB watched you walk away for a while before he followed you.
---
“Why didn’t you start eating?” JB asked as he saw you eyeing your food. You let out a sigh, “I want to but I can’t. It hurts..” you whispered.
“Eh? Is it hurting so much?” JB asked. You slowly nodded. He immediately sat next to you and touch your stomach.
You snapped his hand, “Yah! What are you doing?” you frowned. “I want to check the sound of your stomach, maybe you ate something this morning for it to hurt.” you can see a worried expression on his face. You couldn’t help but to laugh hard.
He raised an eyebrow, “Yah! What are you laughing at?” he asked. “B-Because you t-thought my stomach is hurting.” you managed to say between your laugh.
“So.. it’s not hurting? What is it then?” he asked.
You stopped laughing as you went back to a serious face. You then placed your right hand to your chest, “My heart hurts..” you said.
You were expecting him to softened but he suddenly burst into laughter. You raised an eyebrow, “Waeyo?” you asked, expressionless.
“Aish! It doesn’t suit you. Stop your drama.” JB couldn’t stop laughing. You frowned, “Aish! You should be comporting me not laughing! Tsk!” you said.
JB suddenly stopped.
SILENCE!
Suddenly, both you two burst into laugher again.
“What are you two laughing at?” a voice suddenly asked.
CHAPTER 24
Both you and JB look up when you heard a sudden voice came. “Uh.. Myungsoo..” you whispered. “Hello unnie~” Jiyeon suddenly appeared behind Myungsoo.
You force a smile, “Uh.. Hello.” you replied.
Myungsoo and Jiyeon sat on the chair in front of you two. “What are you two laughing at before we came?” Myungsoo asked again.
“Uh-oh..” you couldn’t know how to say a word until JB spoke, “We’re laughing because of you.” he said to Myungsoo. You look at him in disbelief.
“Mwo?!” Myungsoo raised an eyebrow to him, “Just kidding!” with that, JB laugh as wink at you as you laugh along, awkwardly.
Myungsoo frowned. “We’re talking about jokes that’s why you saw us laughing earlier.” JB explained as he look at you, “Right Jooyeon-ah?”
“Eh?” you gasped. JB give you a smile as you slowly nodded and weakly smile at Myungsoo and Jiyeon, “We’re laughing because of the jokes.” you pointed.
Myungsoo rolled his eyes, “Weird. Let’s start to eat now.” he said, annoyed. With that, all of you started to eat. Jiyeon stared at you and JB for a while, “You know what unnie, you and JB look good together.” she commented.
You suddenly choke after hearing your twin sister’s words. JB want to guve you a drink but Myungsoo already handed you one. You immediately took and drink it.
“Gwenchana unnie?” Jiyeon worriedly asked. You slowly nodded.
JB stared at Myungsoo. Myungsoo raised an eyebrow to him. JB shook his head, *What’s with him? Weird..* he thought as he turned to look at you.
You smiled at him, for him to not worry about you. JB smiled back as he continue to eat and so was you.
---
After class. Myungsoo and Jiyeon leave you alone again to go on a date.
You let ou a sigh, “I’m alone again..” you whispered. “I’m still here..” you heard a voice said.
You look up and see JB smiling down at you. You fake a smile. “Come on, I’ll walk you home.” JB said. You nodded as you stood up and started to walk. JB followed.
As you and JB were walking, JB suddenly spoke. “Yah! Why aren’t you talking?”
“I’m not in a mood to talk.” you said. “Liar!” he said. You stopped and look at him, “Eh?” you frowned. “See? You’re talking to me right now.” he snapped.
You laugh a little, “You trick me!” you said. He shook his head, “No. I just want you to talk. That’s not a trick!” he protested.
You rolled your eyes, “Whatever!” you said and started to walk again.
JB smiled and followed. “Stop thinking about him.” JB said. You look at him, “Eh?”
“If you continue thinking about him, you can’t ever forget your feelings for him.” he said.
You lowered your head and let out a heavy sigh, “As much as I want to, I can’t.” you whispered.
JB look down at you, “..do you want me to help you?”
CHAPTER 25
At night. You sitting at your bed as your body covering by blanket. JB’s words still playing in your head.
:: flashback ::
“..do you want me to help you?” JB asked. You lifted your head up to look at him, “What?” you asked, confused.
“I want to help you.” he said. “How?” you asked.
“Let’s date.” he said and smiled. “D-Date?!” you gasped, shocked. He firmly nodded, “If you started to date me, your feelings for Myungsoo will slowly go away.” he explained.
“But.. what if it won’t work?” you asked. “That’s why I’m suggesting it to you. Let’s give it a try first.” he said.
“Um.. why are you suggesting this to me? And is it okay with you to date me? I didn’t expect you to suggest such a thing like this.” you said. “As I said, I want to help you.” he replied.
“Don’t you have someone you like for you to date me? Am I not a bother to you?” you asked. “Well.. I already like someone.” he said.
“You do?” you asked as he nodded. “What if... you fall in love with me?” you hesitated asked.
JB suddenly laugh hard. You frowned, “Yah! Don’t laugh at me! I know I look like a boy, I know I’m not pretty like the other girls that anyone can’t show me love. Just stop laughing, will you?!” you pouted.
JB stopped laughing and went back to a serious face. You saw him shook his head, “No. I’m not laughing because your words are funny. I laugh because you are thinking that I’m going to fall for you.” he said.
“That’s right! You laugh because I’m funny.” you pouted again. He shook his head once again, “You’re wrong. I laugh because before you think about that, I already did.” he said.
“What?” you asked, confused. “I already did, I already fall for you Jooyeon-ah..” he said. You suddenly froze, “M-Mwo?”
“I like you.” he said. “I’m sorry?” you asked again, want to sure if you heard was right. “I like you Jooyeon-ah..” he repeated.
You stepped back after hearing what he said. You nervously laugh, “Nice joke Mr. Im Jaebum.” you managed to say.
JB’s expression didn’t change. “I’m serious. I meant what I said, I like you since the first day we met.” he said.
You didn’t give him a reply instead you started to leave but JB caught your wrist that made you stopped. “I know it’s a bit shocking but it’s the truth. I’m not forcing you to do it. I’ll wait for your decision.” After he finished his sentence, you removed his hand from your wrist and started to walk home.
:: end of flashback ::
You let out a sigh, “He made me confuse now..” you whispered. A light knock suddenly came from your door.
You look up as the door slowly open and Jiyeon popped on your sight. “You’re not sleeping yet unnie?” she asked as she sat down next to you. You can see a wide smile on her face. “Something good happen hmm?” you guessed.
She smiled and shyly nodded, “Myungsoo oppa kissed me.” she said. You gulped. You weakly smile, “Uh-oh..” “Myungsoo oppa is really sweet. He didn’t failed to make me smile. I’m so happy unnie. I just want to tell this to someone I know so I’m here to tell you about that. I don’t know if I can still sleep because of the kiss.” she hapily beamed.
A tear want to fall but you trued your best to not let it fall. “I’m happy for you..” you managed to say. Jiyeon smiled, “Thank you unnie.. I’ll go to sleep now. Jalja unnie.” she waved and left.
“Uh-oh.. Jalja..” you whispered. With that, your tears finally slipped down to your cheeks. You wiped it all with your own hands, *I think.. I finally decided now..*
CHAPTER 26
Next morning came. After wearing your uniform, the door bell rang. You walked to the main door and approach it.
As usual, Myungsoo was there to fetch Jiyeon. “Where’s Jiyeon?” he asked. You nodded inside the house, “Still preparing.” you said.
He nodded in understanding as you led him inside. Just then, Jiyeon finally done. “Uh.. Myungsoo oppa!” she brightened as she walked to him.
“Good morning Jiyeon-ah..” he said. Jiyeon smiled and greeted back, “Good morning to you too Myungsoo oppa.”
*He didn’t even greeted me..* you sadly thought.
“Unnie, kaja!” Jiyeon waved at you. You snapped out your thought and turned to her, “Ne, coming!” you then followed them.
In the whole walking, Myungsoo and Jiyeon were talking and talking happily. They didn’t even talk to you like you didn’t exist in the world.
As you 3 arrived at the school, Jiyeon headed to her classroon as both you and Myungsoo headed to your classroom.
As you two arrived at the classroom, the first one you saw is JB. You went straight to him as Myungsoo frowned at you.
“I already made a decision.” you said to JB. “So.. What’s your decision?” JB slowly asked.
“I’ll go and date you.” you said. JB brightened and didn’t control himself to hug you. You were totally shocked the sudden hug and so was Myungsoo.
*What’s going on?* Myungsoo confusely asked himself.
“Yah JB-ah.. I can’t breath..” you whispered. He finally released you, “Mianhe but I just couldn’t help it.” he said as he lightly rubbed the back of his neck.
You give him a small smile, “It’s okay.” you said. He smiled again, “Gomawo Jooyeon-ah..” he said.
“For what?” you asked. “For accepting me.” he replied. “But I didn’t accept you yet.” you snapped. “I know but atleast you give me a chance. I’ll take this chance to show you how much I adore you.” he said. You softened and smile.
---
“Unnie, Myungsoo oppa!” Jiyeon waved as she met you outside your classroom. “Jiyeon-ah..” Myungsoo smiled at her.
Jiyeon then walked to you, “Unnie, mianhe but wehave a date again. I’m sorry I can’t walk home with you again.” she said.
You force a smile and shook your head, “No, it’s okay. I understand besides I also have a date today.” you said. Myungsoo’s eyes widen in shocked.
“Really unnie? Who’s your date?” Jiyeon asked excitedly. “I’m her date.” JB suddenly appeared behind you.
Myungsoo raised an eyebrow, *They will having a date together? Psh! How could she date that guy! Aish!* he thought as he rolled his eyes.
Jiyeon smiled, “Woah! I’m happy for you unnie.” she said as she squeezed your hand. You force a smile, “Thank you.”
“So.. We’ll go ahead now.” JB said as he wrapped an arm around your shoulders. You look up at him, shocked. He eyed you to give you a hint. You awkwardly smile at Jiyeon and Myungsoo, “Uh yeah.. Annyeong Jiyeon and Myungsoo.” you said and with that, you and JB disappeared on theri sights.
Myungsoo rolled his eyes, “Let’s go now.” he said, annoyed. Jiyeon nodded and smiled as she hugged Myungsoo’s arm and left.
CHAPTER 27
“Oppa? Are you listening to me?” Jiyeon waved her hand in front of Myungsoo’s face as she noticed him deeply in thought.
Myungsoo snapped out his thought, “Eh?” Jiyeon sighed, “I keep talking here but all of a sudden, you didn’t focusing on me.” she pouted.
“Aigoo! You’re so cute. I’m sorry, okay?” he said as he pinched her cheek. “Okay, I’ll forgive you now. But what are you thinking anyway?” she sked.
“Uh-oh.. Nothing important.” he replied aa Jiyeon nodded in understanding. *I wonder what they are doing now..* Myungsoo thought about you and JB.
“Ahh~” Jiyeon suddenly winced as she put her hand into her chest. “Jiyeon-ah, gwenchana?” Myungsoo asked as she hold her.
“I can’t breath.” Jiyeon managed to say. “I’ll take you to the hospital.” he said. Jiueon shook her head, “No need for that. Just take me home now.” she said. Myungsoo nodded as he carry her on his back and take her home.
As they arrived at the house, Myungsoo take Jiyeon to her room as he carefully laid her down.
“Are you okay now?” Myungsoo asked.
Jiyeon slowly nodded, “I feel better now.” she said. “Wait here, I’ll call your unnie.” he was about to call you when Jiyeon stopped him, “No, I don’t want to ruin her date.” she whispered.
“But she need to know. Wait here.” with that, he started dialed your number.
---
Meanwhile, you and JB went to the park to watch the fireworks.
You were deeply in thought while you and JB was waiting for the fireworks. “Jooyeon-ah, are you okay?” JB asjed. You force a smile and nodded, “Don’t worry, I’m okay.” you said.
“I think the fireworks will appear in an hour. Wait here, I’ll buy food for us.” he said. You nodded as he left.
10 minutes was already passed but JB didn’t come back yet. Suddenly, your phone rang. You pulled out your phone and see the caller ID. ‘Myungsoo’, it written. You stared at your phone fir a while, didn’t know if you’re going to pick up or not.
“Jooyeon-ah, here’s dukbokki for you.” JB suddenly appeared. You immediately rejected the call and put it back to your pocket. You smiled at JB, “Woah! Dukbokki!” you said.
“Here~” he handed the dukbokki. You warmly took it, “Gomawo..” “No problem.” he replied.
You was about to start eating your dukbokki when your phone started to ring again. You pulled it out and saw Myungsoo as the caller again.
“Who’s calling?” JB asked. You quickly turned off your phone, “No one.” you said as you put back your phone and started to eat your dukbokki.
JB nodded and smiled at you. You smiled back, *I need to forget him and give JB a chance.* you thought.
“Uh.. Fireworks!” JB beamed as he pointed at the sky. You look up and see the beautiful fireworks. You finally lightened up as you suddenly forget all your thoughts.
CHAPTER 28
“Aish!” Myungsoo winced. “She didn’t pick up?” Jiyeon asked. “First, she rejected my call and niw she turned off her phone. Seriously, that girl!” Myungsoo whispered, a bit pissed.
“Let her enjoy her date with JB.” she said. Myungsoo let out a sigh, “Araseo. Go to sleep now.” he said. Jiyeon nodded, “Can you sing me a song?” she asked.
“But—” Jiyeon cut him off, “Please..” she pleaded using her aegyo. Myungsoo sighed, “Okay. You know I can’t resist your aegyo.” he finally gave up. Jiyeon giggled.
Myungsoo started to sing. His voice was so sweet and gentle. Suddenly, Jiyeon’s eyelids dropped as she went to her dreamland. Myungsoo smiled as he kissed her forehead.
Just then, you finally came back home. You went to Jiyeon’s room to check her but to your surprised, Myungsoo was also there. He turned to you as he glared.
“Why aren’t you picking up your phone?” he coldly asked. “I’m sorry but what are you doing here?” you asked.
“What am I doing here huh?! Don’t you know Jiyeon having a hard time to breath earlier.” he said. “Mwo?!” your eyes widen in shock.
“Are you enjoying your date that much that you even turned off your phone huh?! What kind of sister are you?!” Myungsoo yelled. “Who are to talk to me like that?! You didn’t know what I am doing so don’t judge me so easily!” you yelled back.
“Of course I do! You’re just enjoying your date with that JB and don’t want to disturb you two so you turned off your phone, Am I right?” Myungsoo yelled once again that made Jiyeon woke up.
“Why are you fighting unnie, oppa?” you heard her asked. “I’m sorry Jiyeon-ah, just ask your sister. I’m going now.” with that, Myungsoo left.
Your tears suddenly burst from your eyes. “Unnie..” Jiyeon whispered. You immediately wiped your tears, “Don’t mind me. Are you okay? Do you feel better now? Are you still hurt?” you continously asked.
Jiyeon smiled, “Don’t worry unnie, I’m completely feel better now.” she replied. You smiled, “That’s good to hear. I’ll go and sleep now. Jalja Jiyeon-ah..” you said as Jiyeon smiked and nodded.
You left her room as abither tear fall from your eyes, *How could he judge me like that?..* you sadly thought as you entered your room.
CHAPTER 29
Next morning. The door bell rang as you warmly approach it. “I’ll go get it.” you said to Jiyeon as she nodded.
Right after you open the door, Myungsoo appeared in front of you. Both of you jsut stared at each other. You broke the staring contest as you open wider the door and let him in. “Jiyeon-ah, Myungsoo is already here.” you called as you walk inside. Myungsoo followed.
“Uh.. Myungsoo oppa..” Jiyeon smiled as Myungsoo smiled back. “How’s your condition?” he asked Jiyeon. “Feel better.” she replied.
Suddenly, the door bell rang once again. You raised an eyebrow and approach it. As you open the door, JB was there smiling at you. “Good morning~” he greeted. You smiled and greeted him back.
JB then look inside the house as you followed his gaze. You met eyes with Myungsoo but quickly look away. “Come on. Let’s go now.” you said to JB as he nodded.
You turned back inside the house, “We’ll go ahead now Jiyeon-ah.. Bye!” you said Jiyeon slowly nodded. With that, you and JB left.
Myungsoo watched you leaving with mixed emotion, mad and jealous? Yes, that’s what he’s feeling right now.
He felt Jiyeon lightly elbowed him. He look down at her. “Go and talk to her.” she said.
“Eh?” he gasped. “I know you’re mad at her but I also know that she’s important to you. You’re important to her too. You two are bestfriends so you shouldn’t be mad at her. She didn’t know what happen to me so don’t misunderstood her.” she said.
“Let’s go to school.” Myungsoo said like he ignored Jiyeon but totally not. He made a thought about it as they are walking on the way to school.
---
You and JB were laughing together when Myungsoo came. You stopped laughing as you saw him walking towards you.
You cleared your throat and looked away. “Jooyeon-ah.. Can I talk to you?” he said. “No, I’m sorry. As you can see, I’m talking to JB.” you said. “Please?” you heard him said.
*Please? It’s the first time I heard that word.* you thought aa you look up at Myungsoo. He looks serious right now.
You let out a short sigh, “Okay.” you turned to JB, “I’ll talk to him for a moment. I’ll be back right after we talk.” you said and with that, you walk passed by Myungsoo as he followed you.
---
“What do you want to talk about?” you asked as both of you arrived at the school garden. “Um.. about last night. When I shout to you.. Mianhe. I didn’t mean to yell and judge you. It’s just that I’m worried about your sister.” he said.
You didn’t know what to feel if you’re going to be happy because he’s sorry or sad because the reason why he yelled at you is he’s worried about Jiyeon.
You decided to not to replied and remained silent. Myungsoo look down at you. He lightly elbowed you, “Hey, why didn’t you talk? Do you already forgive me?” he asked.
You look up, “Eh?” you shook your head, “No.” you said. “Mwo? Wae? I already am sorry. Forgive me now please.. What do you want me to do to forgive me? I’ll do anything.” he said.
“Anything?” you asked him as he slowly nodded. “Okay then, sing me a song and show me a dance.” you simply said.
“Mwo?!” he gasped. “No!” he blurted. You rolled your eyes, “I won’t forgive you then.” you stood up and was about to leave when Myungsoo suddenly grabbed your wrist.
You stopped and turned to look at him. You raised an eyebrow. “I’ll do it.” he whispered. You smiled as you went back to your seat and position yourself to watch him.
Myungsoo take a deep breath and cleared his throat. Just then.. he started to sing with a a funny dance along. You couldn’t help but to laugh so hard as you hold your stomach. Myungsoo stopped and sat next to you.
“Am I already forgiven?” he asked. You stopped laughing and look at him, “No!” you stucked your tongue out.
He frowned and started to tickle you. “Yah! S-stop!” you said between your laugh. “Not until you forgive me.” he said and tickle you continously.
“A-araseo..” you said. “What?” he pretended not to hear. “I said, I’ll forgive you now.” you said. With that, Myungsoo stopped and smiled.
He wrapped an arm around your shoulder, “I miss this.” he whispered. You look up at him, “You miss what?” you asked. “Our bonding.” he said as he smiled down at you. You smiled back, “Nado.”
CHAPTER 30
You and Myungsoo happily went back to the classroom. A smile still on your face as you headed to you seat.
JB frowned, “What did he told you to make you smile like that? Did he said he like you?” he asked worriedly.
You immediately covered his mouth, “Yah, stop talking too much. He already has a girlfriend okay so stop thinking things that impossible to happen.” you said and let go him.
He nodded in understanding. “So.. what are you two did talk about?” he asked again. “It’s not important. Uh.. Seonsaengnim already here.” you said as you pointed in front to your teacher.
JB turned in front and saw the teacher entering the classroom. He take a glance once more at you before he could completely focus himself to the class.
---
After class, Jiyeon went to your classroom. She saw you and Myungsoo finally talking to each other. She smiled as she walked to you.
“Seems like you two already okay now hmm..” she said. “Uh.. Jiyeon-ah.” you said. “You two talking to each other now hm.. That’s good to see.” she said.
You look up to Myungsoo and smiled, “Yeah. He already say sorry to me.” you said. Jiyeon held her both palm together and smiled, “That’s a good news then! Why don’t we have a double date today?!” she beamed.
“Eh?” you gasped and Myungsoo gasped. “I and Myungsoo oppa then unnie and JB. Is that okay with you?” he asked JB behind you.
JB looked up, “Uh.. That’s a good idea, I guess!” he said. Jiyeon smiled as she went next to Myungsoo and hugged his arm. “Let’s go!” she excitedly said.
Myungsoo look back at you as you look at JB, “Let’s follow.” you said. He nodded as he reach down your hand. You gulped but he just smile at you so you didn’t protest anymore. Myungsoo look away and tried himself to focus on his girlfriend, Jiyeon.
---
“Omo! The dukbokki here was so delicious! You are right to bring us here JB.” Jiyeon beamed. JB replied her a smile.
“Here oppa.. Open your mouth.” Jiyeon said as she was trying to feed him. You look at them, hurt. Myungsoo stared at you as you quickly look down and started to eat.
Myungsoo then bite the dukbokki that Jiyeon was holding in front of his mouth. You decided to remained silent the whole time until JB placed a dukbokki in front of your mouth.
You gulped and made yourself turned to him. He smiled at you, “I just wanna feed you.” he said in a sweet tone. You force a smile as you slowly bite it.
“Woah! So sweet~” Jiyeon commented. Myungsoo look away, hurt.
“Jooyeon-ah!” a voice called that made you stopped on your spot. You shut your eyes closed as you take a deep breath. *What do you want now?*
You slowly spun around only to see JB running towards you with a wide smile on his face. You frowned, “JB?!” you gaped. His smile vanished when he noticed your red eyes, “Did you cried?” he asked in a worried tone.
You shook your head, “No. I’m not.” you replied as you force a smile. JB’s expression remained worried aa he study your face.
“Wae? Don’t stare at me like that.” you said nervously. “Of you didn’t cry, why your eyes are red then?” he asked. You paused on it to think for a reason.
“See? You can’t say anything because what I said was true. Don’t hide it, I know you cried.” he said. “No! My eyes are red because there’s something hit my eyes that’s why..” you said.
“Your both eyes hmm?” he raised an eyebrow. “Aish chincha! I already said I’m not, okay.” you said.
“Stop denying, will you?” he said, seriously. You laugh nervously, “Yah! Why are you so serious? I said I’m not so believe me, okay?” you replied.
“I want to believe you but..” his expression didn’t change. It suddenly caught your attention that made your expression change to a serious one. “..but I saw you crying.” he finished his sentence. Your eyes widen, stunned on what he just said.
“Y-You saw?” you gaped. He nodded. You look away, embarassed. “What he have done to you?” he asked.
“E-Eh?” you gasped. “The guy with you ealier. What he have done to you to make you cry like that?” he asked, a bit pissed.
You shook your head, “He didn’t do anything. He’s not the reason of my tears.” you defended Myungsoo. “Then what’s the real reason?” he asked.
You let out a sigh, “I don’t want to talk about it. Why are you here anyway? I thought you already went home?” you suddenly change the topic.
JB want to respect you so he didn’t ask anymore. “I was about to go on my way when I suddenly feel hungry. I’m going to a dukbokki stand until I saw you here so that’s why..” he explained. A half of what he said was true and half was totally a lied.
“Ohh..” you nodded in understanding.
“Come on. Go with me and eat.” he offered. You shook your head, “No, I’m not hungry.” you said but your stomach make a sound which is the opposite of your replied.
You hold your stomach and look at the other way, embarassed. JB chuckled, “Not hungry eh?” he teased. “Araseo. I’ll go with you since my stomach wants to.” you replied.
JB brightened, “Yay! Kaja!” with that, he wrapped his arms around your shoulder as dragged you to the dukbokki stand.
---
“Ahjussi, 2 plates of dukbokki please.” JB shouted as both of you sat in one of the table there. “Ne. 2 plates of dukbokki, coming up!” the ahjussi shouted back.
“Did you usually eat here?” you asked as you scanned the place. JB smiled and nodded, “Their dukbokki here is really good.” he proudly beamed.
Suddenly, the ahjussi came while holding the orders. “2 plates of dukbokki, Jaebum.” the ahjussi said. JB smiled, “Not that long, just call me JB, ahjussi.” he said.
The ahjussi smiled, “I more prefer to call you Jaebum than JB.” JB pouted as the ahjussi chuckled. Suddenly, the ahjussi noticed you. “Who is she?” he asked JB.
“She’s Jooyeon, my new friend.” JB said. “Friend hmm?” the ahjussi give him an amused smile. You stared at JB, puzzled. JB laugh nervously, “Uh.. Ahjussi, there are lot of customer today. You must busy right now right?” JB change the topic.
The ahjussi got the hint as he nodded. “I’m going now. Enjoy your meal Jooyeon and Jaebum.” with that, the left.
You just stared at JB, clueless. “Just don’t mind him. Go and eat.” JB said as he nodded to your dukbokki for you to eat. You nodded slowly and do what he said.
---
“I’ll walk you home.” JB warmly offered as both you two left thw dukbokki stand. You nodded and let him walk you home.
Just after a few minutes, you both reach your home. “We’re here.” you whispered that made JB look at you.
You smiled at him and bowed, “Thank you for walking me home. Annyeong! See you at school tomorrow.” you waved.
JB waved back as you entered the house. He let out a heavy sigh as he put his hands on his pockets. *I know that guy was the reason of your tears even you didn’t say it. I don’t know yet what he have done to you but I’m going to find it.* with that, he leave your neighborhood.
CHAPTER 22
Morning came. You automatically woke up as the sun finally rises. You went to your bathroom to get ready for school. As you were ready, you went downstairs to meet Jiyeon there.
“Uh.. unnie, ready now?” she asked. You smiled and nodded, “But Myungsoo oppa isn’t here yet.” Jiyeon said. “It’s okay. I still need to prepare my bag. I didn’t check it yet.” you replied.
“Uh-oh..” Jiyeon nodded in understanding. You then get your bag to check it.
Suddenly, the door bell rang. “Must be Myungsoo oppa!” Jiyeon brightened as she approach the door. Your face fell after you see your twin’s brightened face.
As Jiyeon opened the door, a unfamiliar figure popped on her sight. It was JB. He stared at her for a long time until he finally spoke, “When did your hair grow like that?” JB pointed at Jiyeon’s hair.
Jiyeon innocently touch her hair, “It’s naturally long.” she replied. JB was about to ask her again when you suddenly called, “Jiyeon-ah, Is Myungsoo already arrive?” you asked as you also approach the door.
To your surprised, JB was there. “Uh.. JB-ah!” you smiled. JB shockingly stared at you then to Jiyeon. You study his face and noticed his confusion. “Unnie, did you know him?” Jiyeon suddenly asked.
You nodded, “He’s JB, the new student and also my new friend.” you introduced as Jiyeon nodded in understanding.
“Um.. JB, this is Jiyeon, my twin sister.” you said to him. JB raised an eyebrow, “You have a twin? Why didn’t you tell me? I thought she’s you. So embarassing.” he said as he shyly rubbed the back of his neck.
“But you didn’t ask me.” you said. JB pouted. You chuckled.
“Myungsoo oppa!” you heard Jiyeon squealed as Myungsoo arrived at the house. Your smile vanished as you look at his direction. “Uh-oh.. Isn’t he’s the guy in our class and also the guy last—” you cut him off as you covered his mouth.
Myungsoo and Jiyeon look at you, suspiciously. You weakly smiled, “Don’t mind him.” you then released him and mouthed, ‘Don’t mention it anymore.’
“What is he doing here anyway?” Myungsoo asked. You look at JB, “Uh yeah. What are you doing here anyways?” you asked.
“I want to walk you to school.” he simply replied. “Eh?!” you gaped. “Your my only friend at our school and I don’t want to be alone walking to school.” he shrugged.
“Him? What is he doing here either?” JB nodded to Myungsoo’s direction. “Uh-oh..” Jiyeon cut you off, “He’s here to fetch me.”
“She’s right. Myungsoo is her boyfriend.” you explained. JB look stared at you in disbelief.
“Let’s just go now, okay. School is waiting.” Myungsoo irritatedly said. Jiyeon nodded in agreement as she hugged Myung’s arm and started to walk. JB didn’t leave his eyes on you. “Kaja!” you whispered to him as you started to walk. JB followed as he look at you worriedly.
---
Lunch break. You, JB and Myungsoo leave the classroom to eat lunch. Suddenly, Jiyeon appeared. “Myungsoo oppa! Unnie! And JB-ssi!” she waved and smiled.
You smiled back and so was JB. Jiyeon then hugged Myungsoo’s arm, “Let’s go eat.” Myungsoo smiled an nodded. “Let’s go unnie.” Jiyeon look back at you.
“You two go first. I have something to do.” you replied. “Uh-oh..” she nodded as they finally disappeared from your sight.
You let out a heavy sigh, feel relieved. “You like him, don’t you?” you heard JB asked.
CHAPTER 23
“You like him, don’t you?” JB suddenly asked. You gulped and look at him, “Eh?” you asked.
“That Myungsoo..” he nodded to Myungsoo’s direction, “..you like him, am I right?” he said. You nervously laugh, “What are you saying?! Of course not!” you said as you continu laughing nervously.
“Uh come on Jooyeon-ah.. I know you like him. I can see it.” he said with a serious expression. You stopped laughing and make yourself to look at JB seriously.
He look back at you, raising an eyebrow. You lowered your head and let out a small sigh, “Yes, I do.” you whispered. JB look down at you, worried.
You laugh a little, “You’re so cool for you to notice my feelings foe him.” you said. “No. It’s because I’m not stupid like him for not to notice.” JB replied.
Your face fell, “No. I’m the one who’s stupid not him. I’m so stupid to love a guy that can’t love me back..” a tear slipped down to your cheek all of a sudden.
“Jooyeon-ah, gwenchana?” he asked worriedly. You quickly wiped your tear, “Mianhe.” you weakly smiled, “Let’s go eat now.” you asked.
“But—” “Please.. I don’t want to talk aboit it anymore.” you said as you started to walk. JB watched you walk away for a while before he followed you.
---
“Why didn’t you start eating?” JB asked as he saw you eyeing your food. You let out a sigh, “I want to but I can’t. It hurts..” you whispered.
“Eh? Is it hurting so much?” JB asked. You slowly nodded. He immediately sat next to you and touch your stomach.
You snapped his hand, “Yah! What are you doing?” you frowned. “I want to check the sound of your stomach, maybe you ate something this morning for it to hurt.” you can see a worried expression on his face. You couldn’t help but to laugh hard.
He raised an eyebrow, “Yah! What are you laughing at?” he asked. “B-Because you t-thought my stomach is hurting.” you managed to say between your laugh.
“So.. it’s not hurting? What is it then?” he asked.
You stopped laughing as you went back to a serious face. You then placed your right hand to your chest, “My heart hurts..” you said.
You were expecting him to softened but he suddenly burst into laughter. You raised an eyebrow, “Waeyo?” you asked, expressionless.
“Aish! It doesn’t suit you. Stop your drama.” JB couldn’t stop laughing. You frowned, “Aish! You should be comporting me not laughing! Tsk!” you said.
JB suddenly stopped.
SILENCE!
Suddenly, both you two burst into laugher again.
“What are you two laughing at?” a voice suddenly asked.
CHAPTER 24
Both you and JB look up when you heard a sudden voice came. “Uh.. Myungsoo..” you whispered. “Hello unnie~” Jiyeon suddenly appeared behind Myungsoo.
You force a smile, “Uh.. Hello.” you replied.
Myungsoo and Jiyeon sat on the chair in front of you two. “What are you two laughing at before we came?” Myungsoo asked again.
“Uh-oh..” you couldn’t know how to say a word until JB spoke, “We’re laughing because of you.” he said to Myungsoo. You look at him in disbelief.
“Mwo?!” Myungsoo raised an eyebrow to him, “Just kidding!” with that, JB laugh as wink at you as you laugh along, awkwardly.
Myungsoo frowned. “We’re talking about jokes that’s why you saw us laughing earlier.” JB explained as he look at you, “Right Jooyeon-ah?”
“Eh?” you gasped. JB give you a smile as you slowly nodded and weakly smile at Myungsoo and Jiyeon, “We’re laughing because of the jokes.” you pointed.
Myungsoo rolled his eyes, “Weird. Let’s start to eat now.” he said, annoyed. With that, all of you started to eat. Jiyeon stared at you and JB for a while, “You know what unnie, you and JB look good together.” she commented.
You suddenly choke after hearing your twin sister’s words. JB want to guve you a drink but Myungsoo already handed you one. You immediately took and drink it.
“Gwenchana unnie?” Jiyeon worriedly asked. You slowly nodded.
JB stared at Myungsoo. Myungsoo raised an eyebrow to him. JB shook his head, *What’s with him? Weird..* he thought as he turned to look at you.
You smiled at him, for him to not worry about you. JB smiled back as he continue to eat and so was you.
---
After class. Myungsoo and Jiyeon leave you alone again to go on a date.
You let ou a sigh, “I’m alone again..” you whispered. “I’m still here..” you heard a voice said.
You look up and see JB smiling down at you. You fake a smile. “Come on, I’ll walk you home.” JB said. You nodded as you stood up and started to walk. JB followed.
As you and JB were walking, JB suddenly spoke. “Yah! Why aren’t you talking?”
“I’m not in a mood to talk.” you said. “Liar!” he said. You stopped and look at him, “Eh?” you frowned. “See? You’re talking to me right now.” he snapped.
You laugh a little, “You trick me!” you said. He shook his head, “No. I just want you to talk. That’s not a trick!” he protested.
You rolled your eyes, “Whatever!” you said and started to walk again.
JB smiled and followed. “Stop thinking about him.” JB said. You look at him, “Eh?”
“If you continue thinking about him, you can’t ever forget your feelings for him.” he said.
You lowered your head and let out a heavy sigh, “As much as I want to, I can’t.” you whispered.
JB look down at you, “..do you want me to help you?”
CHAPTER 25
At night. You sitting at your bed as your body covering by blanket. JB’s words still playing in your head.
:: flashback ::
“..do you want me to help you?” JB asked. You lifted your head up to look at him, “What?” you asked, confused.
“I want to help you.” he said. “How?” you asked.
“Let’s date.” he said and smiled. “D-Date?!” you gasped, shocked. He firmly nodded, “If you started to date me, your feelings for Myungsoo will slowly go away.” he explained.
“But.. what if it won’t work?” you asked. “That’s why I’m suggesting it to you. Let’s give it a try first.” he said.
“Um.. why are you suggesting this to me? And is it okay with you to date me? I didn’t expect you to suggest such a thing like this.” you said. “As I said, I want to help you.” he replied.
“Don’t you have someone you like for you to date me? Am I not a bother to you?” you asked. “Well.. I already like someone.” he said.
“You do?” you asked as he nodded. “What if... you fall in love with me?” you hesitated asked.
JB suddenly laugh hard. You frowned, “Yah! Don’t laugh at me! I know I look like a boy, I know I’m not pretty like the other girls that anyone can’t show me love. Just stop laughing, will you?!” you pouted.
JB stopped laughing and went back to a serious face. You saw him shook his head, “No. I’m not laughing because your words are funny. I laugh because you are thinking that I’m going to fall for you.” he said.
“That’s right! You laugh because I’m funny.” you pouted again. He shook his head once again, “You’re wrong. I laugh because before you think about that, I already did.” he said.
“What?” you asked, confused. “I already did, I already fall for you Jooyeon-ah..” he said. You suddenly froze, “M-Mwo?”
“I like you.” he said. “I’m sorry?” you asked again, want to sure if you heard was right. “I like you Jooyeon-ah..” he repeated.
You stepped back after hearing what he said. You nervously laugh, “Nice joke Mr. Im Jaebum.” you managed to say.
JB’s expression didn’t change. “I’m serious. I meant what I said, I like you since the first day we met.” he said.
You didn’t give him a reply instead you started to leave but JB caught your wrist that made you stopped. “I know it’s a bit shocking but it’s the truth. I’m not forcing you to do it. I’ll wait for your decision.” After he finished his sentence, you removed his hand from your wrist and started to walk home.
:: end of flashback ::
You let out a sigh, “He made me confuse now..” you whispered. A light knock suddenly came from your door.
You look up as the door slowly open and Jiyeon popped on your sight. “You’re not sleeping yet unnie?” she asked as she sat down next to you. You can see a wide smile on her face. “Something good happen hmm?” you guessed.
She smiled and shyly nodded, “Myungsoo oppa kissed me.” she said. You gulped. You weakly smile, “Uh-oh..” “Myungsoo oppa is really sweet. He didn’t failed to make me smile. I’m so happy unnie. I just want to tell this to someone I know so I’m here to tell you about that. I don’t know if I can still sleep because of the kiss.” she hapily beamed.
A tear want to fall but you trued your best to not let it fall. “I’m happy for you..” you managed to say. Jiyeon smiled, “Thank you unnie.. I’ll go to sleep now. Jalja unnie.” she waved and left.
“Uh-oh.. Jalja..” you whispered. With that, your tears finally slipped down to your cheeks. You wiped it all with your own hands, *I think.. I finally decided now..*
CHAPTER 26
Next morning came. After wearing your uniform, the door bell rang. You walked to the main door and approach it.
As usual, Myungsoo was there to fetch Jiyeon. “Where’s Jiyeon?” he asked. You nodded inside the house, “Still preparing.” you said.
He nodded in understanding as you led him inside. Just then, Jiyeon finally done. “Uh.. Myungsoo oppa!” she brightened as she walked to him.
“Good morning Jiyeon-ah..” he said. Jiyeon smiled and greeted back, “Good morning to you too Myungsoo oppa.”
*He didn’t even greeted me..* you sadly thought.
“Unnie, kaja!” Jiyeon waved at you. You snapped out your thought and turned to her, “Ne, coming!” you then followed them.
In the whole walking, Myungsoo and Jiyeon were talking and talking happily. They didn’t even talk to you like you didn’t exist in the world.
As you 3 arrived at the school, Jiyeon headed to her classroon as both you and Myungsoo headed to your classroom.
As you two arrived at the classroom, the first one you saw is JB. You went straight to him as Myungsoo frowned at you.
“I already made a decision.” you said to JB. “So.. What’s your decision?” JB slowly asked.
“I’ll go and date you.” you said. JB brightened and didn’t control himself to hug you. You were totally shocked the sudden hug and so was Myungsoo.
*What’s going on?* Myungsoo confusely asked himself.
“Yah JB-ah.. I can’t breath..” you whispered. He finally released you, “Mianhe but I just couldn’t help it.” he said as he lightly rubbed the back of his neck.
You give him a small smile, “It’s okay.” you said. He smiled again, “Gomawo Jooyeon-ah..” he said.
“For what?” you asked. “For accepting me.” he replied. “But I didn’t accept you yet.” you snapped. “I know but atleast you give me a chance. I’ll take this chance to show you how much I adore you.” he said. You softened and smile.
---
“Unnie, Myungsoo oppa!” Jiyeon waved as she met you outside your classroom. “Jiyeon-ah..” Myungsoo smiled at her.
Jiyeon then walked to you, “Unnie, mianhe but wehave a date again. I’m sorry I can’t walk home with you again.” she said.
You force a smile and shook your head, “No, it’s okay. I understand besides I also have a date today.” you said. Myungsoo’s eyes widen in shocked.
“Really unnie? Who’s your date?” Jiyeon asked excitedly. “I’m her date.” JB suddenly appeared behind you.
Myungsoo raised an eyebrow, *They will having a date together? Psh! How could she date that guy! Aish!* he thought as he rolled his eyes.
Jiyeon smiled, “Woah! I’m happy for you unnie.” she said as she squeezed your hand. You force a smile, “Thank you.”
“So.. We’ll go ahead now.” JB said as he wrapped an arm around your shoulders. You look up at him, shocked. He eyed you to give you a hint. You awkwardly smile at Jiyeon and Myungsoo, “Uh yeah.. Annyeong Jiyeon and Myungsoo.” you said and with that, you and JB disappeared on theri sights.
Myungsoo rolled his eyes, “Let’s go now.” he said, annoyed. Jiyeon nodded and smiled as she hugged Myungsoo’s arm and left.
CHAPTER 27
“Oppa? Are you listening to me?” Jiyeon waved her hand in front of Myungsoo’s face as she noticed him deeply in thought.
Myungsoo snapped out his thought, “Eh?” Jiyeon sighed, “I keep talking here but all of a sudden, you didn’t focusing on me.” she pouted.
“Aigoo! You’re so cute. I’m sorry, okay?” he said as he pinched her cheek. “Okay, I’ll forgive you now. But what are you thinking anyway?” she sked.
“Uh-oh.. Nothing important.” he replied aa Jiyeon nodded in understanding. *I wonder what they are doing now..* Myungsoo thought about you and JB.
“Ahh~” Jiyeon suddenly winced as she put her hand into her chest. “Jiyeon-ah, gwenchana?” Myungsoo asked as she hold her.
“I can’t breath.” Jiyeon managed to say. “I’ll take you to the hospital.” he said. Jiueon shook her head, “No need for that. Just take me home now.” she said. Myungsoo nodded as he carry her on his back and take her home.
As they arrived at the house, Myungsoo take Jiyeon to her room as he carefully laid her down.
“Are you okay now?” Myungsoo asked.
Jiyeon slowly nodded, “I feel better now.” she said. “Wait here, I’ll call your unnie.” he was about to call you when Jiyeon stopped him, “No, I don’t want to ruin her date.” she whispered.
“But she need to know. Wait here.” with that, he started dialed your number.
---
Meanwhile, you and JB went to the park to watch the fireworks.
You were deeply in thought while you and JB was waiting for the fireworks. “Jooyeon-ah, are you okay?” JB asjed. You force a smile and nodded, “Don’t worry, I’m okay.” you said.
“I think the fireworks will appear in an hour. Wait here, I’ll buy food for us.” he said. You nodded as he left.
10 minutes was already passed but JB didn’t come back yet. Suddenly, your phone rang. You pulled out your phone and see the caller ID. ‘Myungsoo’, it written. You stared at your phone fir a while, didn’t know if you’re going to pick up or not.
“Jooyeon-ah, here’s dukbokki for you.” JB suddenly appeared. You immediately rejected the call and put it back to your pocket. You smiled at JB, “Woah! Dukbokki!” you said.
“Here~” he handed the dukbokki. You warmly took it, “Gomawo..” “No problem.” he replied.
You was about to start eating your dukbokki when your phone started to ring again. You pulled it out and saw Myungsoo as the caller again.
“Who’s calling?” JB asked. You quickly turned off your phone, “No one.” you said as you put back your phone and started to eat your dukbokki.
JB nodded and smiled at you. You smiled back, *I need to forget him and give JB a chance.* you thought.
“Uh.. Fireworks!” JB beamed as he pointed at the sky. You look up and see the beautiful fireworks. You finally lightened up as you suddenly forget all your thoughts.
CHAPTER 28
“Aish!” Myungsoo winced. “She didn’t pick up?” Jiyeon asked. “First, she rejected my call and niw she turned off her phone. Seriously, that girl!” Myungsoo whispered, a bit pissed.
“Let her enjoy her date with JB.” she said. Myungsoo let out a sigh, “Araseo. Go to sleep now.” he said. Jiyeon nodded, “Can you sing me a song?” she asked.
“But—” Jiyeon cut him off, “Please..” she pleaded using her aegyo. Myungsoo sighed, “Okay. You know I can’t resist your aegyo.” he finally gave up. Jiyeon giggled.
Myungsoo started to sing. His voice was so sweet and gentle. Suddenly, Jiyeon’s eyelids dropped as she went to her dreamland. Myungsoo smiled as he kissed her forehead.
Just then, you finally came back home. You went to Jiyeon’s room to check her but to your surprised, Myungsoo was also there. He turned to you as he glared.
“Why aren’t you picking up your phone?” he coldly asked. “I’m sorry but what are you doing here?” you asked.
“What am I doing here huh?! Don’t you know Jiyeon having a hard time to breath earlier.” he said. “Mwo?!” your eyes widen in shock.
“Are you enjoying your date that much that you even turned off your phone huh?! What kind of sister are you?!” Myungsoo yelled. “Who are to talk to me like that?! You didn’t know what I am doing so don’t judge me so easily!” you yelled back.
“Of course I do! You’re just enjoying your date with that JB and don’t want to disturb you two so you turned off your phone, Am I right?” Myungsoo yelled once again that made Jiyeon woke up.
“Why are you fighting unnie, oppa?” you heard her asked. “I’m sorry Jiyeon-ah, just ask your sister. I’m going now.” with that, Myungsoo left.
Your tears suddenly burst from your eyes. “Unnie..” Jiyeon whispered. You immediately wiped your tears, “Don’t mind me. Are you okay? Do you feel better now? Are you still hurt?” you continously asked.
Jiyeon smiled, “Don’t worry unnie, I’m completely feel better now.” she replied. You smiled, “That’s good to hear. I’ll go and sleep now. Jalja Jiyeon-ah..” you said as Jiyeon smiked and nodded.
You left her room as abither tear fall from your eyes, *How could he judge me like that?..* you sadly thought as you entered your room.
CHAPTER 29
Next morning. The door bell rang as you warmly approach it. “I’ll go get it.” you said to Jiyeon as she nodded.
Right after you open the door, Myungsoo appeared in front of you. Both of you jsut stared at each other. You broke the staring contest as you open wider the door and let him in. “Jiyeon-ah, Myungsoo is already here.” you called as you walk inside. Myungsoo followed.
“Uh.. Myungsoo oppa..” Jiyeon smiled as Myungsoo smiled back. “How’s your condition?” he asked Jiyeon. “Feel better.” she replied.
Suddenly, the door bell rang once again. You raised an eyebrow and approach it. As you open the door, JB was there smiling at you. “Good morning~” he greeted. You smiled and greeted him back.
JB then look inside the house as you followed his gaze. You met eyes with Myungsoo but quickly look away. “Come on. Let’s go now.” you said to JB as he nodded.
You turned back inside the house, “We’ll go ahead now Jiyeon-ah.. Bye!” you said Jiyeon slowly nodded. With that, you and JB left.
Myungsoo watched you leaving with mixed emotion, mad and jealous? Yes, that’s what he’s feeling right now.
He felt Jiyeon lightly elbowed him. He look down at her. “Go and talk to her.” she said.
“Eh?” he gasped. “I know you’re mad at her but I also know that she’s important to you. You’re important to her too. You two are bestfriends so you shouldn’t be mad at her. She didn’t know what happen to me so don’t misunderstood her.” she said.
“Let’s go to school.” Myungsoo said like he ignored Jiyeon but totally not. He made a thought about it as they are walking on the way to school.
---
You and JB were laughing together when Myungsoo came. You stopped laughing as you saw him walking towards you.
You cleared your throat and looked away. “Jooyeon-ah.. Can I talk to you?” he said. “No, I’m sorry. As you can see, I’m talking to JB.” you said. “Please?” you heard him said.
*Please? It’s the first time I heard that word.* you thought aa you look up at Myungsoo. He looks serious right now.
You let out a short sigh, “Okay.” you turned to JB, “I’ll talk to him for a moment. I’ll be back right after we talk.” you said and with that, you walk passed by Myungsoo as he followed you.
---
“What do you want to talk about?” you asked as both of you arrived at the school garden. “Um.. about last night. When I shout to you.. Mianhe. I didn’t mean to yell and judge you. It’s just that I’m worried about your sister.” he said.
You didn’t know what to feel if you’re going to be happy because he’s sorry or sad because the reason why he yelled at you is he’s worried about Jiyeon.
You decided to not to replied and remained silent. Myungsoo look down at you. He lightly elbowed you, “Hey, why didn’t you talk? Do you already forgive me?” he asked.
You look up, “Eh?” you shook your head, “No.” you said. “Mwo? Wae? I already am sorry. Forgive me now please.. What do you want me to do to forgive me? I’ll do anything.” he said.
“Anything?” you asked him as he slowly nodded. “Okay then, sing me a song and show me a dance.” you simply said.
“Mwo?!” he gasped. “No!” he blurted. You rolled your eyes, “I won’t forgive you then.” you stood up and was about to leave when Myungsoo suddenly grabbed your wrist.
You stopped and turned to look at him. You raised an eyebrow. “I’ll do it.” he whispered. You smiled as you went back to your seat and position yourself to watch him.
Myungsoo take a deep breath and cleared his throat. Just then.. he started to sing with a a funny dance along. You couldn’t help but to laugh so hard as you hold your stomach. Myungsoo stopped and sat next to you.
“Am I already forgiven?” he asked. You stopped laughing and look at him, “No!” you stucked your tongue out.
He frowned and started to tickle you. “Yah! S-stop!” you said between your laugh. “Not until you forgive me.” he said and tickle you continously.
“A-araseo..” you said. “What?” he pretended not to hear. “I said, I’ll forgive you now.” you said. With that, Myungsoo stopped and smiled.
He wrapped an arm around your shoulder, “I miss this.” he whispered. You look up at him, “You miss what?” you asked. “Our bonding.” he said as he smiled down at you. You smiled back, “Nado.”
CHAPTER 30
You and Myungsoo happily went back to the classroom. A smile still on your face as you headed to you seat.
JB frowned, “What did he told you to make you smile like that? Did he said he like you?” he asked worriedly.
You immediately covered his mouth, “Yah, stop talking too much. He already has a girlfriend okay so stop thinking things that impossible to happen.” you said and let go him.
He nodded in understanding. “So.. what are you two did talk about?” he asked again. “It’s not important. Uh.. Seonsaengnim already here.” you said as you pointed in front to your teacher.
JB turned in front and saw the teacher entering the classroom. He take a glance once more at you before he could completely focus himself to the class.

After class, Jiyeon went to your classroom. She saw you and Myungsoo finally talking to each other. She smiled as she walked to you.
“Seems like you two already okay now hmm..” she said. “Uh.. Jiyeon-ah.” you said. “You two talking to each other now hm.. That’s good to see.” she said.
You look up to Myungsoo and smiled, “Yeah. He already say sorry to me.” you said. Jiyeon held her both palm together and smiled, “That’s a good news then! Why don’t we have a double date today?!” she beamed.
“Eh?” you gasped and Myungsoo gasped. “I and Myungsoo oppa then unnie and JB. Is that okay with you?” he asked JB behind you.
JB looked up, “Uh.. That’s a good idea, I guess!” he said. Jiyeon smiled as she went next to Myungsoo and hugged his arm. “Let’s go!” she excitedly said.
Myungsoo look back at you as you look at JB, “Let’s follow.” you said. He nodded as he reach down your hand. You gulped but he just smile at you so you didn’t protest anymore. Myungsoo look away and tried himself to focus on his girlfriend, Jiyeon.

“Omo! The dukbokki here was so delicious! You are right to bring us here JB.” Jiyeon beamed. JB replied her a smile.
“Here oppa.. Open your mouth.” Jiyeon said as she was trying to feed him. You look at them, hurt. Myungsoo stared at you as you quickly look down and started to eat.
Myungsoo then bite the dukbokki that Jiyeon was holding in front of his mouth. You decided to remained silent the whole time until JB placed a dukbokki in front of your mouth.
You gulped and made yourself turned to him. He smiled at you, “I just wanna feed you.” he said in a sweet tone. You force a smile as you slowly bite it.
“Woah! So sweet~” Jiyeon commented. Myungsoo look away, hurt.
