Myungsoo placed the hot chocolate on the side table of the couch and took a seat beside his gloomy brother. He cleared his throat, purposely. “What’s wrong with you, Hyung?” He was concerned.

Sunggyu remained silent. Once in a while, he would glace at the clock. In lesser than three hours, his wife was going to marry other guy, when he was still alived and loved her so much. They loved each other.

Receiving the air as the answer, he gave up. He had asked the same question for about thousand times and he wondered, why wouldn’t the older gotten sick of it and just answered him? Maybe, Myungsoo could help to find the solution of Sunggyu’s problem, but that thick head older brother wouldn’t open up.

He rose up from the couch, straight-away walked to his room. He wanted to lock himself for several hours and came out only for dinner. The gloomy atmosphere, Myungsoo simply hated it.

While Sunggyu, he kept staring at the wall in front of him, being dumb. His mind went blank. His heart had broke. What else the part of his body wasn’t hurt at this moment? Everything felt useless. He let out a long and heavy sigh. That was when, the doorbell rang, snapping him. His forehead furrowed, in distraction. He rolled his eyes and groaned in annoyance. Who would come at this freaking 9 A.M.?

The door flung opened.

“Miyu…” Sunggyu’s eyes widened.

“Appa!” A little girl shrieked and embraced the father. Numb.

Slowly, he knelt down and gazed at his daughter for a while. He then hugged her tightly as he missed her so much. “I miss you very much that I could die.” He nearly cried, but he held it because there was another unwanted presence, watching them. The uninvited and disgusting guest.

Kyunshi, on the other hand, watched the father and daughter who had been separated with each other, reunited. She felt a little pang in her heart that she admitted, her eyes went watery.

“Sunggyu,” she called.

The weak man released his daughter and stood up, straightened his body. His eyes, it was full of disappointment, instead of hatred. Unlike his wife who lingered with so much hatred and grudge. “Yes, Noona?”

She was startled that her heart raced faster than before. “Y-You remember me?” she stuttered.

“I do.” He lowered his head, respecting the older. “If you want to apologize, forget about it.”

The sentence snapped Kyunshi. She could feel the pain in every word he spoke. “Yunshi is going to get married. I hope, you will not ruin it. Build a new life and forget her as how she forgets you.” The older spilled.

Sunggyu knew, Kyunshi missed the fact that both of them had remembered each other. “I am not the type of person who will ruin other’s life. If I did something wrong, I’ll fix it.” The spoken words purposely shot on her nose.

She bit her bottom lip, hard. “I think, that’s it. I’m going now.” She bowed a bit and immediately left.

Sunggyu kept his gaze low, staring the dusty grey floor. He sniffed, thinking of how Kyunshi was able to walk away like nothing happened. Did she love Yunshi so much, that she abandoned other’s feeling, as long as that person wasn’t her sister? Did she? If that so, she was totally someone who probably classified as selfish.

Miyu pulled the end of his shirt. “Appa.” Her voice cracked. Sunggyu looked down and ruffled her hair. What a poor child. “Omma is marrying him. Won’t you stop them?”

He forced a smile and shook softly, “No, dear. I’ve promised to pretend not to remember her.” Miyu understood, he was referring to whom. Her, Lee Yunshi. “Are you hungry? I can make caramel macchiato for you. Anything do you want?” He pretended not to know his wife and now, he acted like a brave man in the love story. How pathetic.

“I want Omma! I don’t want your caramel macchiato! I want her. I want my mother, Lee Yunshi! Don’t you understand me?!” she stomped her foot, shouting in pain and aching heart, hitting her daddy’s stomach. And begging for something she should have.

Myungsoo shut his eyes, holding the warm liquid from flowing out. So, that was it. His brother had remembered everything. That was the major problem, where a little girl was losing her mother and a husband who was losing his wife. That was the matter Sunggyu kept alone. His jaw clenched. Then, he grabbed his wallet on his desk and stormed out from the house.

Their eyes met when Myungsoo slipped in his sandals. The younger face hardened. “I admitted that I disliked Yunshi Noona before, because she separated us when I only had you in this world after our parents left us. But I was wrong. I shouldn’t judge people by the cover. And I shouldn’t take advantage by hiding your pasts when you involve in the accident.” He glanced at Miyu, who was sobbing, hiding her face in between her knees. “But after I knew her, I like her, as my sister-in-law. So yeah. Now, do you hate me, Hyung?”

Sunggyu blinked. He wondered, why there was so much people who lied to be saved when the truth, they could never be saved when they lied. “I didn’t hate you. I’m just, disappointed of-”

“That is it, Kim Sunggyu! You are too nice with people.” Myungsoo had forgotten the word ‘respect’. “You know what? You shouldn’t forgive me. You should never forgive that woman. And you should never let Yunshi Noona go, because kindness is something you must do to the right people, and the right time.” With that, he went out, disappeared in a blink of an eye.
