Amber's POV
I was few feet away walking soulessly back home when I noticed some cars were parked infront of our house...I wondered what was going cause it seems to me that they're having a party...Jhong's co-workers maybe...and as expected, I gathered all their attention when I opened the door..everyone seems surprised seeing me...looking alternately at Jhong then back to me..well maybe they don't even know such a sister exist...they looked at me for a while then turned to my brother...I just put on a blank expression when they greeted me...as usual I went directly to the kitchen to grab some drinks..maybe it would help easen what I'm feeling right now...
"wow...like wow I didn't expect she resembles you that much..." one of them exclaimed and that word then again caught me...
"I even thought you're twins" the other girl said "well it's just that she looks younger and more handsome" earning laughters..
"resemble....." I repeated softly and laughed being sarcastic...her words are still messing with my head and I don't really know how to deal with it anymore...I'm really confused right now...
I excused myself and was about to leave the room when I felt strong arms wrapped around my shoulder and held me back....
"where are you going...we waited for you..now sit down and eat..." Jhong pulled me and made me sit beside him...he's acting like nothing happened between us ...like we never avoided each other for so long..well he did try fixing things between us but I wasn't just ready yet so.....I wanted to think he's just faking it but looking how happy he is...how he treat me like he did back then...his eyes were like telling me how much he missed hanging out with me...I somehow felt guilty... *okay maybe I was too inconsiderate and it's time for patching things up*...I tried brightening up my mood diverting my thoughts elsewhere and join their conversations...
"so....hyung what's the occassion?" I asked but then suddenly everybody turned silent and looked at me in disbelief...

"hyung I'm really sorry..." I lowered my head not able to look at him out of shame...I heard him chuckled and sat beside me...geez how could I forget it...he waved at his friends before they left..now leaving just the two of us...
"naah~~hyung understands....I might have been really hard on you lately..." he said and I could see guilt in his eyes.. *no I did* I wanted to correct him...I was the one rejecting him all along since he tried reaching out to me... "I'm sorry..I shouldn't have done that and accept that she chose you...now look where it got us.." he took a deep breath... "a--and yeah I was at fault doing---" I raised my hand to stop him and smiled..
"hyung let's just not talk about it...past is just past..for now let's celebrate...happy birthday" I raised my glass of orange juice..
"cheers" he smiled back before drinking his beer all up...
After that conversation we both went back being silent...me being pulled back of what happened a while ago...
-flashback-
"Amber..." her soft voice slowly calmed me down and soon felt both her hands on my ears looking straight in my eyes... "listen to me...and only me..okay?"
"but....but...you haven't answered my question" now calmly talking back..
"he might have just mistook you as him...please let's not fi
