SUNG-HO:)
"Shit," I bittered under my breath after getting to know that she rectified the call, without letting any moment pass, I scrambled towards Justin's room.
"Hey, Justin, it's Jin-Ae, cover it for me please bro, I can't let her know about me, help me out," I began to please him by doe eyes, but his disgusting appearance made me to began more, as I knew he wasn't the type of.
"Please, please," he nodded and snatched the phone from my hands, as I sigh of relief escaped from my lips.
"Hey, buddy," Justin spoke while resting his head on the headboard while I grabbed my seating beside his bed.
*What's your name?* soon he seemed to make sense after her angelic voice, dropping in ears, tilting head in an acute angle, he showed his evil smirk to me, and I guess I knew what he was trying to commit something, however, before he leads any word, I squeezed his arms and he hissed out of pain.
"It's Justin, what's yours?"
*Jin-Ae-" he was interrupted in mid by someone cutting her off before she could assemble some words before him.
*Alright, bye see you* and a male voice dropped again, and I huge burden of fear fell from my chest, "Thank you, my friend," whispering, I left his room.

JIN-AE:)
I didn't understand what was taking him so long to answer me, every inch of me lingered for his voice, my whole expression took a complete change from encouraging to fascinating.
However, for the whole minutes, none uttered from another side,
'What if he didn't want to talk to me? Is he mad at me for that proposal of marriage, No, it's not happening now and I can make it up for him even if it's take anything, I love him, only him,' these thoughts were crossing its the way in mind, however, the feeling of afraid took the best of me, my patience had bounds then so I wanted to hand the phone back to Tae, even if it's he then might he was too mad to whisper some words?
*Hey, buddy* my whole world turned upside down at the utterance of him, my lips tilted upside, widely smiling as if I won a lottery, not after when I realised it wasn't his voice, neither he addressed me with *Buddy* and my sixth sense examined that he wasn't the boy whom I loved, but someone else, might be with a similar name.
"What's your name?" asked while hoping high for the good.
"It's Justin, what's yours?" and for the second time, my heart clenched, my jaw tightened, fingers soon made a tight fist, I wasn't mad but I hated the fact that it would be him, my eyes softened with sadness, my smile fed away in the air, looking at Tae but his expression defined that he was a little frightened, he was tensed as if he was hiding something behind that worried appearance over his face. Not taking soon long to whisper my identity to that person, I said, "Jin-Ae-" I was in the middle of completing my sentence when Tae snatched his phone away from my grip.
Giving him a whats-wrong look, I raised my eyebrow over his appearance. After whispering something on the call, he hung up.
"Let's enjoy, and it's not him," he amused me and grabbed my hands, wishing to enjoy the moment, though I wasn't over that in addition sadness overlooks sounded dominating at that moment.
I froze on the spot, making him swirl around, pressing his lips into a thin line, which I understood he was confused over my actions.
"Let's go back," I mumbled, almost with no emotions on my face, without further argument he nodded.

SUNG-HO:)
Sadden by the thought of Jin-Ae tolerating her surrounding without having someone by her side, my heart tightened as I couldn't stand by her side, it seemed like I was being selfish here but I had no other option to go with if she got married to Tae-Hyun, then no matter how much of efforts I put in, I wouldn't be able to love her so this was the best idea for me and I interpreted the same without any thoughts distracting me from.
I was aware that she yearned for my presence as much as I wanted to embrace her tiny figure in arms, hugging her, loving her, kissing her and whatnot.
Fighting with the thoughts, I smiled crept over my lips, the more I think about her, the more I want her here, I didn't know when I become so desperate to love her, I shrugged off my thoughts when Justin snapped me, out of wonderland.
"I am sure you must be thinking about my sister-in-law, " his words were enough for heating my cheeks with redness. His sister-in-law means my wife, I couldn't wait for that moment when she would hug me the times she would see me.
Again he snapped me, by a light slap over the shoulder, "I never wanted but how you fell for her, her voice is angelic, I can't wait to see her," his words automatically did the job of encouraging me to put my best efforts in winning her, escaping her from the grip of that devil lady.
I chuckled before mesmerising those memories again, flashback occurred in my head.
"Come on, don't act like a lovesick," he teased me as the redness got noticed by him.
"Maybe I fell in love with her out of jealousy," he laughed, "Are you kidding me?" he chuckled again, and same I did, because of course I was strange because you would only feel jealous when you were already in love.
"Of course, she got my attention the moment, she appeared in front of me for the front time," No one could ever deny the fact that she was beautiful, totally an image of an angel from heaven, her soft hair falling over the shoulder, her thick lashes, pinky lips, glittering eyes, I knew many eyes were settled on her, those hungry eyes of boys, quickened possessive feeling inside me.
"Boys over the University tried my stunts to impress her however none worked, as I also got stunned by the thought that maybe she would do the same with me, reject my proposal and that was the worst I could think. And the fear grew wild inside me," I enrolled in the memories, that I couldn't deny that the smile angled over my face.
"Then?"
"I initiated to strengthen distance from her, as I was professor and she studied as a student, I didn't wish to disturb her studies, so I took a good interruption from my feeling,"""""
"Then?" I guess he seemed to enjoy the love story of me because he looked focused over what I was mumbling, must say he got this much attentive to me for the first time.
"And those boys took a good chance to impress her by what they weren't a bit of, kind, caring, I used to take I lesson of what not to commit if I ever I had taken their place in future," I laughed remembering that hilarious moment again.
"Then a long gap got involved in between my feeling for her and me,"
I knew it had to be one day, when mom would come with some girl for the proposal of getting into a relationship, knowing the fact I couldn't go against her, I agreed, heaving my chest with the burden of feeling for Jin-Ae, no doubt Sun-Hee was such a beautiful girl in campus, her mature behaviour was what got my attention, everything lied by her side, that a guy would crave for, however, my thought roamed back to that girl, who was such an image of angel "Jin-Ae"
I admitted guilt for agreeing with mom because I never felt the same vibes with Sun-Hee as I felt with Jin-Ae, I regretted that might be I lost my chance to confess my hidings, feeling for her.
"There was much burden I breathed under back then, however, I couldn't help the fact that I would never get the chance with Jin-Ae, as I was tied with Sun-Hee, even if I wanted to cut the threads then I couldn't tolerate my mother, her health was always my biggest concern, and I did what I wasn't supposed to," I laughed at my fate, that when I had the chance over Jin-Ae, I wasted it, and when I got and confessed I lost her.
"Then why didn't you act on time, idiot brother," he scolded as if he wore the same shoe as I did, chuckling at his statement, I turned aside to face him, "But I won't now," he smiled knowing that I could do anything for her, he knew what she meant to me.
"And your younger brother would help you, whenever you ask, I would want sister-in-law to know that you love her to the moon and back, to the-" I knew his longs throws would have no end, and the best thing was to be done at this moment was to ignore him.
"Why aren't you listening to me?" he got teased, and suddenly I let loose some giggles.
"Dinner time, come and help me out," I shouted after moving towards the kitchen area, and he seemed to follow my orders.
"Good boy,"
