The Choice
Hyemi’s jaws almost dropped when they got in the house, the interior was just magnificent and elegant.
“You live here alone?” Hyemi asked.
“Well, before Junhee and noona arrived, I did.” Himchan shrugged.
Hyemi looked at his back briefly. No wonder why Himchan was so uncontrollable, he was always alone.
“And dont worry, we’re not alone in here, Jahyung and noona are here, you saw Junhee earlier too.” Himchan turned to her.
“I wasn’t worrying, I’m just wondering why we’re here.” She repe tablied.
“Let’s eat something first, then we can talk later.”
“Oh, you two are here.”
The two looked up as the butler placed a light snack on the table, the two were sitting by the outdoor pool.
“Oh, noona I wanted to show her around.” Himchan nodded, Minjung chuckled, she was wearing a loose mini dress and flats.
“Arasso, Hyemi, you make yourself at home. I have to go to the company.” She nodded and left.
“You saw them inside, unnie?” Junhee said as she met her older cousin by the front steps.
“Yes, I think...Himchan’s finally met his match.” Minjung chuckled.
“I really hope they work out, Hee. Help them out, will you?”
“As always, unnie. Oppa’s here, go on.” She gestured towards the Bentley that was parked a few meters away from them.
Minjung nodded and pinched her cheek.
“This...is our family picture.” Himchan nodded towards the portrait on the wall.
Hyemi looked up, she noticed that Himchan resembled his dad and he had his mother’s eyes.
“But, sunbae...why did you take me here?”
“You welcomed me to your home and gave me the chance and to know you better.”
“Ah...it was nothing.” She stuttered.
“But sunbae, is that Junhee and her parents?” She gestured towards a younger looking Junhee and a middle aged couple.
“Yes.” Himchan nodded.
“But, why does she live here? Her parents aren’t-”
“They’re not around anymore. They left when she was..14.”
“Ah, I’m sorry.”
Himchan shook his head and gave her hand a little tug.
“There’s something I want to give you.”
They entered a wide room with a black desk in the middle, one the walls rows of books.
Hyemi blinked.
“You like reading, sunbae?”
“During my free time.” Himchan smiled shyly and walked to his desk.
Hyemi walked towards the shelves and looked at the books.
“Here.”
An elephant plushie the size of her palm was looking back at her.
“This?” Hyemi sounded amused, Himchan nodded and placed it on her hand.
“I was five when I won this from an arcade, using my own money. I’m entrusting him to you now.”
Hyemi looked at the toy on her palm.
“Take care of him, arasso?”
She looked at his face, she felt herself soften.
Maybe there was more to F4’s leader that she could not see.
“Yes, I will.” She smiled back, Himchan nodded and gave her hand a quick squeeze.
“It’s getting dark, I’ll drive you home.”
