The wisest person

Perfect Stranger

I just arrived from visiting Jong Hyun's family in Busan. As soon as I opened my computer, a mail was sitting in my inbox. It's from the post office. It's a notification that I have a mail to pick up. They can't send it since there's no address in it. I quickly showered and change. I decided to take the subway. i might as well enjoy it while I am free. who knows when I won't be able to ride it again.

I stared at the package. The employee told me that it's a 5 year old package. A preposted package. My mind wandered. "Oh my God!" I quickly ripped the tape and opened it right infront of the employee. My eyes went big. "Jimin." I checked my watch. Holy mother of God! It's five days before my 25th birthday. "Thank you," I bowed at the employee. I ran out of the post office as I call Chae Won. "Are you busy?"

"I've something to rush. What's going on?"

"I am coming over for breakfast at your place," I said.

"Are you okay? Is something going on?"

"nah.. I'm on the sub way the signal is not good. See you tomorrow." I didn't give Chae Won a chance to reply. Much that I wanted to cry, I controlled my tears. As soon as I was in my room. I bawled. Just the thought of Jimin made me sad. I remembered the package. I slowly opened it. I wonder what did she put in it. Nothing special. A letter? I slowly opened and read it. My heart was aching. I folded back the letter and set it on my table. She knew it all along. They knew. Jimin and Chae won. Jimin dared me to tell them the truth before my 25th birthday. They knew that I am a Shin. They knew that my real name is Mei Lee Shin. They just wanted me to tell them the truth. I started to cry. I called for a cab and directed the driver to the grave site.

I knelt and cried infront of Jimin's grave."Why didn't you guys tell me about it? I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to hide it. It's just that I don't want to be treated special and you guys did it. We were all like ordinary people." I cried harder. When I calmed down a bit I laid down on my back facing the sky. That's what we usually do. The three of us would randomly go to an open space and just watch the sky.

"Jimin-ah, you're going to be an auntie. I probably know how you feel when you found out about your baby. The excitement but not for me. I am scared. I don't know how my family will take it. They might get me into hiding and I don't want it but I don't want someone to be in trouble. After my birthday, I am going to tell it to my family and go on with whatever their decision. I might want to go to Europe for a year. But I want the baby to be born here. Jimin-ah, what do you think will Chae Won's reaction?" I smiled and crossed my arms under my head "She'll probably be fussing over me. You know her right? The fussiest in everything. Oh..... I'm going to see Jiyong soon. I'm going to ask him to be the godfather. I hope you don't mind. He's probably dating someone but I know you wouldn't mind. Kang Jimin, please do watch over us. It's so unfair that you're up there living peacefully and us living here in a complicated life." I closed my eyes and kept still. I wanted to feel the calmness before I leave the place. I was about to get up when I heard a voice. Darn! Was he listening to me all the time. I was on the other side because the view was better. It's overlooking  the valley and the seashore.

"Jem, how had you been?" Those voice are familiar.

I kept silent and let him talk to Jimin. I don't want to reveal my presence. It might ruin the situation.

"I've been okay. I think. You saw how was it. It has been hard Jimin." I can sense he was crying. "It's been hard with out you around but I managed to live it. Jimin-ah, I think I'm falling inlove," there was a short laugh. "You'll like her. Just like you, she can make her way to control me. I'm not saying you controlled me. I mean in a way when I am crossing the line. I think I like her to the extent of going through her personal life. But I don't know how to act around her. Everytime we meet, we argue.  Can you believe I told her doctor she's my girlfriend? I wonder what will happen if she finds out. Hell will break loose." he laughed again. "The thing is I am dating Kiko. You know her but I don't have this feeling I have towards this girl. I don't want to break Kiko's heart. She was beside me  for these years. Jimin-ah, you're the wisest person I know. What should I do?" His heart was crying badly.

"And the wisest person would say, follow your heart." I came around and revealed my presence. "Sorry to interrupt your time with Jimin,"

Jiyong wiped his tears. "Miss... uh...Miss Lee Shin," he turned in red embarrassment.  "How long...?"

"heard everything," I said and leaned my back on the mound. "Don't worry."

Jiyong got up and leaned on the mound. He sighed deeply. "What are you doing here?"

"Talking to the wisest person we both now," I laughed. "The best person to pour out your miseries, pain is someone who's dead. You won't get interrupted and won't hear anything."

"True," he agreed.

"So you're dating someone and you think you love someone else?" I raised.

He folded his arms and used it as pillow as he crossed his legs. "She's interesting person. The way she gets me."

"Are you sure you're not just challenged because she doesn't like you?" I laughed out loud.

"Oh, she definitely hates me."

"Trust me, hell will break loose really if she will find out you told someone she's your girlfriend. been there," I said.

"I don't know what I was thinking,"

"You must really like her." I concluded. "What does she do?"

"She does odd job just like you girls."

I raised brows. "Illustrator and writers aren't odd job." I was curious what does this girl do.

"She's an engineer."

I laughed loudly. "Engineer? You think engineer is an odd job? I was thinking something like pick people's trash blah blah." I can't contain my laughter. I laughed harder. "Wow! How did you met an engineer? Oh what's her field?"

"Electrical and sound engineer."

My mouth formed an O in admiration. "Electrical and sound engineer? Wow! That's was tough."

"heard about the snow and ice carving in  Pyeongchang? The lightings were awesome. We performed there during the opening."

"oh... I haven't heard about it. I'll check it out the net. And you're dating someone."

Jiyong bowed his head. "Jimin will kill me with these but I can't help it. I am starting to like her more and more. I guess Kiko was a good company when I lost Jimin. She was always there. But she lied to me. She  lied and this girl was being  blame of Kiko's lies."

"Have you confronted Kiko about it?"

"I decided not to. We will fight again. She will acuse me of cheating on her. The thing is I don't know how to apologize to this girl. I accused her of something she never done. I'm not sure if she will even listen to me."

I sighed. Complications. Our life are complicated but in different situation. "How's this new girl took your accusation?"

"She denied it. She even came back to Korea to clear it. I don't know I guess I have to believe her."

"Well, believe in her then." I said.

"I have to and I just have to let go of Kiko's lies."Jiyong said. His voice shows how it's hard for him.

"Break it off with Kiko before pursuing this new girl. Every girl doesn't want any complication." I said without emotion and looked up in the sky.

Jiyong nodded. "I'm glad I ran into you here."

"hmmm... So I listened to your new album. Bae Bae. If You. Sounds like memories of Jimin. Uhm... and that Let's not fall inlove. I think I know why you wrote that song." I looked at him. "And oh... that If You. That's .."

"Bae Bae was intended for Jimin. We had lots of plans when she turns 25."

I sighed. "Look, I'm sure Jimin wants you to be happy. If you really like this girl. Go for it."

"I guess it's not an accident running  into you here," he smiled.

"hmmm." I got up. "I'm going ahead. You can hang around more,"

"No. I'm leaving as well." He got up.

We both bowed and said our goodbyes to Jimin.

"Did you drive?"

"I don't have car," I laughed.

"I'll drop you." he offered.

I smiled. I have to talk to my brother regarding my situation. I told him the address to drop me. "Oh, the famous white Bentley," I commented.

"yeah, I guess."

"Can you believe someone asked me if I'm dating you just because they saw me driving a white Bentley?" I laughed

"Really?" he  looked at me and started the car. "And am curious who's Bentley was that?"

I went still. "Oh... uhmmm..my brother's best friend. If you know Park Jung Hoon, the hockey player." I was forced to lie.

"Oh... Park Jung Hoon? Really? Wow! So you might have met other hockey players,"

"Not really. I met few when I was younger and taking my lesson from him."

"Hmmm. Must feel good to have met Park Jung Hoon,"

"Must feel good to be the Gdragon," I teased.

He shrugged. "Come and visit me at the studio sometime. I'll introduce you to the group"

"Can I? Can I? Oh Chae Won will be thrilled." I suddenly became excited. Chae Won mentioned Choi Seung Hyun one time and she hit my head when I told her I have no idea who he is.

"Jimin mentioned that Chae Won loves hot men,"

I eyed him. Damn Jimin. What else did she told him about us. "You can say that. What else did she told you about us?"

"What else should she have told me? You are all fantastic friends."

I feel suddenly sad. I miss her more and more. "You can drop me here. I don't want you getting caught dropping me," I told Jiyong when we approached the building.

"Are you sure?"

I nodded. "I'll call you before I come. I might bring Chae Won. Make sure TOP oppa will be there," I said and waved as he drove away.

Chapter 61: I hope there’s an epilogue to this beautiful story. That she will bring Jong Hyun to their baby’s resting place and tell him about the baby. And i wanted to see his reaction when he knows that that’s his baby and not GD as he assumed.
