Chapter 7

Sacrifice

Krystal POV

I grunted as I took the box out of my car. Curse my friendship with Sulli and Minho oppa. With Sulli having to attend to her business with her task, I had no choice but to do her a favor and drop off some of Minho oppa's stuff to him at his university. Dang him, why did he have so much stuff, and why didn't he bring it on his own? 

I was at a nearby cafe waiting for oppa. As I was scrolling through my phone, I felt a tap on my shoulder. Surprised, I took my ear buds out and turned around before I saw a pair of wide, innocent looking eyes. Naturally responding to the friendly face, I gave her a wide grin of recognition and a short hug before she took the seat in front of me

"It is you! I saw you from afar and you were by yourself so I decided to stop by and say hi" Seohyun unnie pulled off the university student look well, with her hair tied up, a plaid shirt and jeans, with a cute backpack. Unnie was really pretty.

I smiled back, "I'm glad you did unnie. I was getting bored out of my mind waiting for Minho oppa to get here." The glint in her eye showed her interest at the mentioning of Minho oppa, as she asked "Oh? you guys on a date or something?" She chuckled as she asked that, as of she knew I wouldn't be with him like that. I gave her the knowing look before I scoffed "Please unnie, I would ask you to save me from him if that ever happened. He is just a very close oppa. Too close actually, to where he managed to get me to drop off his big box of stuff for him, which is why I am waiting here. He should be here any minute actually." Making a good impression of a distressed person, Seohyun unnie responded "aigoo, Krystal is going through a lot because of him. I'll kick his for you when I see him too so that he doesn't make his dongsaengs do tedious tasks for him" She gave me an assuring smile, to which I only returned. 

"By the way, what is your relation with Minhyuk?" I nearly choked on my drink when Seohyun unnie suddenly asked me out of nowhere. I figured it was bound to be asked, I would ask too if my boyfriend had girl friends that I didn't know about. "Oh i came across his cafe a few weeks ago since it is near my house, and I fell in love with the food and ambiance of the place. Eventually, I became a regular enough to befriend the staff there, including Minhyuk oppa. We are just close acquaintances so you don't have to worry about anything unnie." I don't know if it was because I said that a tiny bit fast or what but she gave me a confused tilt of her head suggesting she wasn't comprehending something. "Just close acquaintances? Are you sure?" I guess this unnie is a little more protective than I thought. "Of course unnie, just close aquaintances. I would never steal another person's partner." She looked at me with shock, surprise evident on her face. "Minhyuk has a girlfriend??"

It was my turn to be confused. "Minhyuk oppa is your boyfriend isn't he? You guys were really close and affectionate at the cafe so I thought-" All of a sudden Seohyun unnie burst out laughing, her hand covering her lower face portion. "Oh Krystal it isn't like that at all! I guess you could have thought of us like that since I don't remember mentioning our relationship to you guys." She chuckled again as if she was rest assured now, "Minhyuk and I are twins. I'm his noona by 5 minutes hahaha" My mouth dropped at the revelation. They are twins? How? the the mystery sister on his file was Seohyun unnie? Why wasn't it specificed in the files though?... I ignored the sense of relief I briefly felt just now, and I could feel my brain go overtime as I tried to put together more of the puzzle pieces from his files, figuring out how I can get more information from unnie without making it suspicious I know a lot more about Minhyuk oppa then I should. "Wow unnie, sorry I assumed the wrong thing. He mentioned having a sister but it never crossed my mind at the time.." I felt myself blush, "I don't think he said he had a twin specifically though? Haha wonder why, having a twin would be so cool..." Thankfully, Seohyun unnie continued on this topic, "Our family is a wee bit complicated. We actually didn't know we were twins all of our lives, it must have been beginning of high school I think? But complicated family issues made us separated in our childhood..." I could tell by the way her eyes put in more effort to stay neutral and her voice becoming a softer tone that it was a sensitive topic, so I made sure to change the subject so I don't go overboard with questioning. I already gained a lot of new information anyway. "It's alright unnie I understand the hardship of complicated family issues. At least you guys know now! You guys seem really close despite the separation. It's the present that matters now afterall." I gave her a light sqeeze on her hand to let her know I respected her privacy and wasn't going to ask her about more things. 

Seohyun unnie returned my hand sqeeze with one of her own. "Of course, I'm glad I have him now. From what I know, he had a really lonely childhood which naturally makes me feel bad I couldn't be there for him, when I his twin of all people should have. He acts all independent and fine but I know there is still an empty space in his heart."She trailed off as I nodded my head along to what she was saying showing her I was listening. It wasn't until I saw a weird mysterious smirk on unnie's face did I feel like the atmosphere was going to change. " Krystal, I was just wondering what you think of Min-" Before she said the whole sentence, which I already assumed and processed anyway hence my frozen expression, I was glad of Minho oppa's voice appearance. Thanks Minho oppa, your timing was impecable. 

"Yo Krystal!! Sorry I am late I had to help a friend with his equipment-" Seohyun unnie and I turned to face the voice, to which Minho oppa was surprised I'm sure to see another familiar face. "Oh Seororo? Whatcha doing here? Did you come to feed me too? hehe" Before I could get his attention with my icy glare for his implication of me buying him food, Seohyun unnie responded by slapping him on the shoulder. It was a good sounding slap too. Minho oppa playfully winced in pain, "Minho you should be ashamed of making your dongsaengs do errands for you, and expect them to buy you stuff. tsk tsk. Still so childish as always." Seohyun unnie and I gave each other winks, as if we knew we would have each other's backs from now on. Minho oppa grumbled "I was just kidding..." And he looked at me in his most furious face attempt as he crossed his arms, "Krystal, did you call Seohyun or something to tell on me? How could you I'm your oppa! Don't tell me I have to deal you with you guys being friends now...and by that, you guys being friends on the terms of torturing me."  I couldn't help but give him a teasing smirk. "Actually oppa, unnie saw me by coincidence waiting all by myself with your stuff. I think it is fate that you pretty much brought us together. Speaking of, unnie can I have your number?" I stuck my tongue out to tease oppa even further. I saw unnie give oppa a "look what you did to yourself" kind of look as she happily put in her number in my phone, making sure to call herself so that she has mine too. Minho oppa just made loud groaning sounds as he saw the exchange. "I swear, you girls are going to be the death of me."

" In celebration of Minho and his part in blossoming a new friendship between two girls, how about we go to Boice Cafe and get some food? On Minho of course." Seohyun unnie looked at Minho wit such confidence I knew Minho oppa wouldn't be able to say no. "I completely agree. Lets go!" I say it in the most aeygyo filled way as I could possibly muster just to infuriate him more, since I know Minho oppa no longer thinks of my aegyo as aegyo, but as something rather annoying. He just groans again as we all stood up to get ready to go. 

"Lets go Hororok, you can get your food there hehe" She put her arm around his shoulders as they walked off together, oppa with his big box of stuff. As they passed by me while I was still getting my things, I couldn't help but see the genuine smile on oppa's face as they walked off toward the door. I inwardly smiled to myself, making sure I remember clearly what I have seen so I can tease oppa later. Oh oppa, you have a crush on unnie dont you? XP
