Chapter 13
My Two Families
Amber was trembling when she dialled the number; the number that will soon connect her with the person she’s been missing so badly.
“Hello...”
Amber was stunned for a while when she heard the familiar voice from the other line.
“Henry...”
This time, it was Henry who was stunned from hearing the voice of his sister.
“Amber...!?”
Just hearing Henry called her name, Amber broke down in tears. Just hearing Henry voice, Amber realized how much she misses his brother. Just hearing Henry voice, it made Amber realized how far they are separated from each other.
“I am sorry, lil sis... I am sorry...”
There’s no explanation needed for Henry to know the reason of his sister cries. He’s her big brother she has always depended on. Henry can read his sister like the back of his palm. Henry understands Amber, even more than their parents did.
“Why? Why? Do you know how much I needed you? Do you know how much I miss you, Henry? Do you? Then why? Why didn’t you contact me? Why didn’t you call me? Why?” Amber couldn’t resist herself but to burst out her feeling inside.
Henry was trying to hold himself from crying out. He needed to be strong for his sister. He couldn’t break down in tears as well. “I... I was scared, Amber. I was scared, once I heard your voice, I’ll break down. I was scared that once I heard your voice, I would fly directly to Seoul to find you.”
“Then you should fly here for me. You promised me! You promised we’ll be together forever! You promised me, Henry!”
“I know. And I’ll never break my promise, sis. You know me, have I ever broke my promise to you?” Henry paused for a minute before he continued, “Wait for me, ok sis? Wait for me. I don’t have any power yet at the moment. I realized now, I need to fulfil what Dad wanted me to do first. I need to finish my education to take over Dad business. I need to be stronger before I could fight for you back.”
Amber was speechless and impressed at Henry mature side.
“Since when you are that mature, Henry?”
Henry chuckled, “I don’t know. Maybe our situation forced me to be.”
“I really miss you Henry.”
“I miss you so much too, Amber.”
“Promise me, Henry. Promise you won’t leave me. I’ll wait. I’ll wait for the day we meet again. Just don’t go missing on me again.”
“I promise you, lil sis.”
“Heechul Oppa, good morning!” Amber greeted her eldest brother cheerfully once she entered the dining room.
“Morning Amber!” Heechul greeted the girl back with a wide smile.
“What’s that? Why only Heechul hyung? What about me? That’s called being bias, maknae!” Hyukjae protested.
“Yeah, I thought you’re still mad at Heechul hyung? What’s with the sudden closeness?” Donghae protested too.
“Yah you two!!! What’s with the jealousy! Amber is my sister too! Why can’t
