Jin-Ae:)
Was lying back on the bed, fighting with thousands of thoughts over my present state, nothing gonna work out from now, so I felt it was alright to feel fallen alone in the dark where there wasn't anybody to pull the colourful lights for you, and the person whom I thought would be, as far away from me, even didn't know how he would live out there.
'Doesn't he loves me anymore?'
'Did he find someone else?'
'Did he forget me that easily?' hehe.
'Was it that simple for him to fall in love with somebody else?'
Not just these but thousands of synonymous emotions did roam in my head, neither I could find out any finding nor him. Sometimes, I laugh over my state where it became arduous for me to devour the remaining life. Might be my fate was written alike, might be I would be left with one-sided feelings, might be I would have no one around to love me.
It's not that I didn't feel loved by my brother Ari, I feel however sometimes it makes me feel to have somebody with me, all the time but I guess it gonna be impossible with time.
Not knowing when sheds started forming in my eyes, that my sight of the ceiling blurred in just a couple of moments, it became normal now, to cry alone, to love darkness, to be alone.
Every day, every hour, every minute, every second I thought about myself, how useless I have become to them who loved me.
It squeezed my heart whenever negative emotions dominants me.
knock! knock!
Suddenly, I heard someone's thumping on my door, so recklessly I wiped off the sadness from my face and loosened the door.
"Jee-Ho Aunt? What are you doing at this time? Is everything okay?" her presence amazed me because it was midnight past 12, my eyebrows raised a little while her hands held the plate with food.
"What?"
"I know you didn't have dinner, come to have this, I couldn't let you sleep hungry," her words praised my smile when lips twitched upward and she returned with the same.
"But how did you know that I was hungry?"
"Do you think I wouldn't, never in the ages, you had dinner outside, so I thought for while and hurriedly came up with food. Eat before it gets cold."
'Does she know me so well? Even better than brother?' this thought made me happy and suddenly I hugged her from the side, resting my head on her chest, after long I felt warmth after ages.
"Thank you so much Aunt, and sorry that because of me you had to face mom," I apologised because she had to tolerate that bish.
"That's no big deal as long as I can be the reason for your happiness," I didn't know how to get over the happiness I felt right now, feel loved, feel safe, feel happy.
"So glad that you are here!"
"Alright have your food fast!"
I nodded.
* * *
"Ji-Hoon, I am worried so much for Jin-Ae," Ari whispered while doing her night routine facing him through the mirror.
He sighed.
"I am here for her, Ari and we both would always be after her," he approached her with tiny steps and wrapped his hand around her waist, to pull her against his manly chest.
She giggled because she felt ticklish.
He joined after seeing her smiling brightly, forgetting about worries.
"Alright, now let go of me Ji-Hoon!" she said while holding back her giggles, didn't wish to let him know about her weakness.
"Okay!"
And he let go of her and got busy with his business on the laptop.
"Ji-Hoon?"
He irritatingly sighed
"What?"
"Did you know about Sung-Ho by any means? You know she is so sad nowadays that is clearly visible on her," her words held obviously.
Now he diverted his whole attention on her turning to her side.
He held her hands before letting go of his words.
They connected eyes, which created a romantic scene unless he spoke.
"Listen, I know everything but I can't tell her about Sung-Ho, " she got confused over his phrases and came up with a question.
"What do you mean by can't tell? Do you know where is he?"
*flashback*
"Dad? how was your deal in the states? Was everything alright? And what about our deal with them?" Ji-Hoon asked multiple questions at the same time, just after the dad landed in Korea.
He couldn't hold the excitement to enter the states with their business.
So did his excitement held an obvious reason.
"Oh my God, relax, inhale some air alright?"
He nodded and grabbed a chair in his office.
"Tell me?"
"So, the deal is done, we gonna enter safely but the one thing was amazed by was that one employee who joined months ago, became the new CEO of the company, the top-level holders praised him a lot," he whispered in cheering tone while they're holding an eye connection.
"Who?"
"Umm...name??" he couldn't recognise the name at the same moment but with a little bit of pressure on flashback he remembered.
"Sung-Ho, yes he is,"
"huh? Who?"
"Sung-Ho, but what's with your expression?" his dad asked because of course, he would be surprised to know that.
"Nothing but just surprised by that person only one month and top-level management, must praise, "
he nodded.
Still, Ji-Hoon didn't believe the words he mumbled a few seconds heretofore.
"Alright, you take rest, I'm gonna look around," he excused himself just to digest what just he encountered.
*end of flashback*
"Are you for real?" Ari had the same expression as he held some time before.
"Yes, it is but I can't find out the reason why he is doing this?"
His question took them to their world of thinking of any reason why he did this.
"Umm..maybe to prove himself in front of mom, because as long as I remembered he left a couple of days after when dad announced her wedding with Tae. And you know mother never liked him because of his background," Ari worked right with her thought, while Ji-Hoon was amazed because that made sense.
"Can it be like that?"
She nodded instantly while holding a surprising look.
"I can't believe this Ari, he is such a hero for Jin-Ae, and now I would try my best to talk with him by any chance to clear up this misunderstanding," he smiled and kissed her cheek.
"Now my sister would be happy when she would come to know this," he nodded and then slept peacefully because now they were
sure of things.
"good night,"
"Good night."

Next Sunrise:)
Sung-Ho:)
"Good morning, buddy," Justin wished me on the dining table, while I was having my breakfast without mumbling anything to him.
And I was sure that he would doubt my state and come up with weird questions, which bothered me to act normally.
"Good morning!"
"Are you going to the company?" he asked as if he was about to ask something further or might be asking for something.
I nodded while focusing on breakfast.
"Alright, then I'm coming with you," he said and served himself breakfast.
"But it's your off right?"
"Yeah but I can't stay alone at home," he explained his lies were pretty. However, he followed him everywhere for a long time as he noticed his sad figure so he didn't wish to leave him for even one day.
"But Min is back, you can spend some time with her, I guess it had been so long that you two spent some time," I knew him very well, I bet no one could ever know him better than me.
"No, she has her college so I can't, please let me go, please my hottie," I giggled at his begging state, which he returned with doe eyes.
I nodded and got up to put on my tie, facing in the mirror.
Justin:)
I know he held a lot of suffering behind his well-suited personality but I lived with him so I know him and his state very well.
I couldn't do anything because for the past months we hadn't shared words about Jin-Ae, so if I come up with any move and failed then I couldn't see his upset state.
I could never see him upset because of me so I decided not to touch the matter of Jin-Ae.
My thought was interrupted by his phone call, I picked up his phone and noticed the number but couldn't remember because it wasn't from America as the country code was different.
"Sung, you have a call, come and take this,"
"Coming!"
* * *
"Who is it?" I asked before taking the phone from his hand but he just shrugged off with no expression.
"Alright, give me," I took the call and went inside the room.
"Hello?"
"Hey, Sung-Ho?" another side held strange behaviour towards me, does he know me?"
"Who?"
"Ji-Hoon!"
'What her brother? How but?' my thoughts suddenly trapped me, and Justin's figure climbed inside, eyeing my expression.
"Who is it?" he mumbled, making sure to speak loud.
But I didn't say anything and continued the conservation.
"Oh, SEO Organisation, nice meeting you," I said, stuck with words.
"Yeah, nice meeting you too but I'm not here for a business matter," his words were straight and I peeked at Justin, showing him widening eyes.
"What happened?"
"Then?"
"Jin-Ae!"
