YOUR POV
I woke up still with a big headache when flashes of what had happened before my weak body gave away, invaded my mind. I shot my eyes open and sat up, glaring at the figure sitting next to my bad.
"Where's Byunghun?" I asked my mom once again, her hands childishly fidgeting with the hem of her shirt as she heard my question. I rose my brow, what the hell had happened for her to feel so anxious anyway? She looked up at me with both guilty and sorry eyes.
"Jieun-ah...I think we should talk about it later when you feel better--"
"Where's Byunghun?! Why aren't you answering? Is it that hard to tell me where the hell he is?!??" I shrieked loosing my patience.
"Is that the right tone to use with your moth-"
"Don't change the topic!" I hissed frustrated. I knew I was being mean and disrespectful, but I just wanted to know where my dear twin had gone. I wouldn't have been so frustrated if they hadn't looked so anxious and worried, making me worried as well. If they hadn't been able to hide their emotion, it wasn't my fault, and I had all the rights to be concerned about my own brother.
Mom sighed heavily, slumping down her shoulders and grasping softly onto my hands.
"Dear...your brother has run away..." She explained with a pained expression. I stared at her for a moment, trying to digest what she had just said. "W-what? Where? Why?" I inquired dumbfounded. Why would he run away? Everything had looked so normal, he had been behaving like himself, nothing had seemed wrong...So why would he run away? And, most importantly, why had he hidden it from me? Geez, no matter how cool I tried to act, it hurt to know that my twin had actually hidden his real feelings from me.
"We still don't know where he has gone, some investigators say that he has left to America..." My mother trailed off looking away. As if she was avoiding my stare. I scrutinized her curiously.
"Why did he run away?" She turned around at my question, looking at her perfectly polished nails. "Well Jieun...B-Byunghun has had an argument with us about his current girlfriend...We didn't really like her...uhmmm...so he ran away for the sake of their love...yeah, he ran away for the sake of their love!" She said as I observed her. Her way of talking had been so strange... as if she were trying to convince herself as well.
"Why don't you look so sure?" I questioned raising a brow.
"Oh, that's because I still can't believe your brother has betrayed us just for one girl!" She reasoned as I nodded understanding. It made sense. I thought of Byunghun and felt a pang at my heart. How much had he suffered because of our parents' disapproval? Knowing him, he had probably decided not to tell me anything, not wanting to bother me with his problems. What a good and caring brother I had. I sighed, poor Byunghun..
"Mom can't I go to America as well uh?" I pleaded desperately. I just wanted to help Byunghun and not let him face alone the pain. My mother threw me a glare, which was so deadly I could have burnt under it.
"Don't you dare follow your brother steps! From now on you are forbidden to have any contact with him, which means no calling, no chatting, no testing and no visiting! Understand?!" She suddenly grew angry.
"What?! But he's my brother!! That doesn't make any sense! I have all the rights to keep in touch with-"
"I said no Lee Jieun. Try disobeying and you'll see." And with that she stomped out of my room.
End of flashback
I played with my chopsticks as I thought about Byunghun's apparently ex-girlfriend. Had it been really a girl to send him away or had it been something else. From the looks of it, the reason could be either of them, but my brother's strange behavior at the mention of the supposed girlfriend had me thinking about the la
