Grateful
Not A Passing FancySun Ah’s POV:
Just when I was teasing Miyeon by asking her to stay out of my family business, “OMG!” she let out a gasp, looking at something behind me and when I turned in the direction she was gaping at, I couldn’t stop myself from laughing out loud.
Both of my samchon were kissing each other passionately and that was what made her gasp. “So now you believe that guys looking as handsome as them can still be gay?” I asked as I leaned closer to my bestie while she nodded in a daze.
“You know, my brother could still be gay?” her head shot in my direction as I asked her teasingly.
But before she could even open to defend my brother, I walked away from there. “Aish! Both of you get a room. There are small kids here.” I said as I picked up Han Min who was playing beside the pair who was still busy making-out.
A hand shot out and flicked my forehead hard. “Ouch!” I shrieked while another hand shot out and started rubbing my forehead. “Aish! What do you two lovebirds think of yourselves? One hits me and the other consoles me?”
“Aw, our cutie pie is feeling ignored. Sorry,” they both broke apart and pulled me into an embrace by squishing me in between them.
“Ew samchon! Keep your hands away from me.” They both just chuckled at my outburst and squished me more. “Aish! I’m going to call your sister, Mrs. Lee now.” I threatened.
They both burst out laughing which made me rethink my threatening. Maybe I should have mentioned my father instead. They recomposed themselves a moment later, “Yah! She’s your mother.” Hyun Su samchon ruffled my hair.
I quickly realized what he meant. He was just trying to hint that we have an outsider in the house and that I shouldn’t disrespect our mother in front of her while I also felt the same. I may not be in good terms with her but I cannot put her down in front of others.
So I immediately corrected myself by saying, “Of course she is. You know I was just playing around, don’t you? I always call her like that.” And understanding what I was trying to do, they both agreed to it.
Time passed by and by the end of the day, Miyeon not only stayed over for dinner but also for the entire weekend. Well, it was partially our mother’s fault. Being excited with the fact that I brought over a friend, she offered Miyeon to stay for dinner and later to have a sleepover too and the crazy girl immediately jumped at the opportunity.
And over the weekend, my brother and she got along very well, to the extent that I started to fear that my brother has fallen for Miyeon. He generally flirts a little with girls who are interested in him but it wasn’t anywhere close to how he’s around Miyeon now.
I can see that it’s not just the flirting but some feelings being involved too. Since she’s my bestie, I know her more than anyone and that makes me fear of my brother getting heartbroken as she’s more of a self-centered person while my brother is the sensitive type.
Anyway, the weekend passed by like that and after that all my bestie and my brother spoke to me about was asking about each other. It not only annoyed me but also kind of made me envy them.
And one fine day, just like he promised, Sang Ki took me to see my biological mom’s resting place. Even though I admit that she looked really beautiful, I just couldn’t bring myself to call her as mom. The word just didn’t come out of my mouth.
I felt there was a huge awkwardness in the air even though it was just her urn in front of us. I even made Sang Ki to stay with me while he wanted to give me some alone time with my mother.
“Oppa, it must be really uncomfortable for you to be here, isn’t it? I’m sorry. Let’s go.”
I didn’t want to stay there any longer. So I just dragged him out even though he was denying that I was troubling him. But visiting her made me realize one thing that I really do consider Jin Kyong as my mother. Even now I don’t have any trouble calling her mom but it wasn’t the case with my biological one.
More than anything, I actually felt guilty towards my brother. I recently heard about the things that happened when mom was conceived with him. I know it’s not my fault but still I feel a lot guilty.
“Sun Ah-ya, what happened?” he asked in worry, as I stood there with my arms tightly wound around him and crying silently. I was just being overly sensitive.
I refused to let go off him how much ever he tried and he gave up after a few minut
