Almost alone

Reading your lips

YongGuk dragged his sister Sasha that just arrived to celebrate with them in the bathroom. “Can she have your lipstick ? She wants to be pretty for the photo.”

 

Sasha sat next to Eunji and opening her bag she showed to Eunji the makeup pouch she was using. “Baby I can offer you way more than lipstick. Let me turn you into a glowing and blushing mess.”

 

Eunji looked at YongGuk signing and couldn't help but laugh. “It feels weird when you sign that to me. You're sure Sasha said that ?” She asked signing.

 

YongGuk cleared his throat. “Stop teasing.”

 

Sasha looked confused over the two signing and only smiled when Eunji scoffed. “Tell me what's life without teasing you.”

 

YongGuk shook his head, defeated by her smile. “Anyways, she's going to put makeup on you.”

 

Eunji smiled looking at the badass makeup of Sasha. She was excited to look the same. She closed her eyes and let Sasha put makeup on her. First blush to make her face more lively and lovely. YongGuk looked at the hands of his sister works on her face and held Eunji hands, playing with her ring. As Sasha was almost finished, she arranged softly the hair of Eunji and pinched her cheeks.

“Here we are, I'm finished.”

 

Sasha handed her the mirror and Eunji looked at her pink cheeks, cherry lips and eyes defined by makeup. Sasha just did a cute makeup on her, but it was nice to look at. “I look way more healthy. Thanks you.”

 

She kissed Sasha cheek sweetly, making the woman blush. Eunji left to show the results to her family and Sasha laughed. “She's so adorable. It's a shame she's feeling dizzy like this. She is so sweet.”

 

YongGuk nodded at her. “She threw up a moment ago. But it seems now she feels better, thanks to you “

 

Sasha looked at his soft smile and packed back everything in her pouch. As Eunji came back, she rested her hand on her fiancee chest. “So let's go take this photo. And Sasha do I get the makeup remover tonight ?”

 

Sasha took the product and put it in her hands. She looked at her younger brother take the hand of the young lady and lead her outside.

 

“Ahh the couple is there for a photo.” Her mom said, stopping to chit chat with Jihyun to hug her. Eunji got compliments on her glowing makeup and giggled when her dad came to hug her, smiley. This idea of makeup was nice, she didn't even feel dizzy anymore !!

 “Where are we taking the photos ?” Her father asked, looking around.

It was not  night yet so YongGuk suggested to get a photo outside. He helped Eunji walking to the garden and they sat on the bench there. Eunji rested her head on his chest making the photo into an adorable photo of a loving couple. She kissed his cheek and had the laugh of the day trying to remove the stain of the liquid lipstick on his cheek. She was feeling dizzy but not enough to stay in bed. She ended up enjoying the party a little bit; eating a little. She was yet forbidden of drinking and looked at everyone cheer with a smile, while her drink was apple juice. The only one that sticked wit her was YongGuk.

“See how much a support I am.” He signed to her, wanting to bragg a bit.

“You become drunk within a sip, it's out of public safety you don't drink Gukkie. Stick to apple juice with me.”

He frowned. His eyes found his twin amused eyes on him and he rolled his eyes, knowing what his brother was thinking. Eunji looked at their interaction. “Why is he teasing you ?”

“Just you know, I always lose at drinking games when we played on the boat. We had funny nights.” He explained to her. He ended up being way too drunk two days ago when their team was allowed to have a little party.

Eunji nodded, thinking if his brother protected him during those games.

 

After a while, he looked at Eunji drift away from them. If at first she was laughing with them, following the conversation she better she could. Now she was staring blankly at the stars, her eyes moving around as if following something moving. Even makeup couldn't hide her pale face and exhausted expression. She sighed and stood up with an half smile.

 

“Now I think I really need to go and sleep. Have fun everyone.”

 

Her father looked at her sincere smile and ruffled her hair. YongGuk tried to grabb her hand and she removed it. She looked at him with firm eyes and a big grin . “you're staying here.” As everyone wished her goodnight, she sent a tired smile to them and came to the room.

 

YongGuk sighed. “What did she tell you with that huge smile ?” His twin asked, confused about the contrast between the smile of Eunji and the disappointed and worried expression of his brother.

“To stay here.” YongGuk revealed to his twin.

 

“What ? With this smile ?”

 

YongGuk shrugged. “She's used to that. Using expressions to sign something different. She doesn't want to worry anyone.”

 

The guy nodded. “She wants you to have fun, that's all.”

 

He let people try to cheer him up but after one hour, he got tired of it and checked on Eunji. She was quietly sleeping on the bed. He spooned her, hugging her waist. He was touching her skin, thinking about how frustrated she might be. Eunji was a party girl. She loves to dance, jump around, eat a lot and here she was lying in bed when all the house is having a party. He kissed her cheek and realized that he woke her up.

“Hey. Sorry.”

She shrugged and turned her body so she faced him. She squeezed his cheek. “You should enjoy the party. I told you to-”

 

“I wanted to be here. I really really wanted to be here. I'm sorry I deceive you but for my mental health, I need to be here.” He confessed quickly. There's no way he's leaving this bed when she's feeling so bad.

 

She softly nodded and he looked at her get closer to him. “You didn't get a proper kiss from me since you're there.”

 

YongGuk nodded and she giggled. She pecked his lips softly. As she was still a little bit far away from him, he brought her closer to him. They kissed repeatedely until Eunji put a hand in his chest. “I'm feeling dizzy. Could we just sleep ?”

 

He kissed her cheek. “you're sure you're okay ?” He said with worried eyes on her, he checked her temperature and she shrugged. “I'm a bit tired.”

 

Soon Jihyun noticed the empty chair next to YongJoon. “Where did he go ? We're going to have the cake.”

 

YongJoon shrugged. “He went to Eunji. Let him be and just keep a piece for the couple I guess.”

 

*

The morning came and YongGuk woke up before everyone else. As he was drinking a glass of water, he felt a light punch in his stomach. “Hey Hyung.”

 

“So how is Eunji ?”

 

YongGuk shrugged. “Fine I guess. We didn't talk about that yesterday, we just catched up with each others. Talking about her sickness is no fun.”

 

YongJoon frowned. “I didn't hear you two though. “

 

The youngest sighed. “We sign; when we wanted to keep our conversation secret or be silent we just sign.”

 

YongJoon nodded. “Is  it really  different? You know like being with a deaf person.”

 

YongGuk sighed at this question. He can't stand anymore people shock  as he says that her girlfriend is deaf. Asking him how it is to date a deaf person.  “I don't know. It means that yerterdays night the only one that coudln't sleep was me.”

His brother blushed understanding what he was talking about and pursed his lips. “Sorry, my deed I asked a dumb question to you. It's cool you know.”

 

As they chitchatted in the kitchen, suddenly her dad came to the kitchen preparing a plate. He counted pills for her daughter before putting them on the plate and he took time to press oranges for her along with chocolate cookies. He smiled to the twins. “You had to deal with each others 24h/7 in our military duty. It's a miracle you still talk together.”

The twins looked at each others. “It's fine, our personnalities get along very well. We're together since our mother womb." YongJoon said.

 

Yo Han nodded slowly, thinking that now that the twin was here, YongGuk might talk a lot less than he previous did before.  He finishing his task, and went to Eunji room. A few minutes later, the man came back with everything. “She refused.”

“Yesterday she threw up because of the pills.” YongGuk decided to reveal.Her father nodded and sighed. “Okay. I'll let her be for today.”

*

Eunji didn't go outside of her room all day. People constantly went to check on her though. YonJoon looked with interest Daehyun enter her room and after an hour he realized that the guy was still not out. After a while the guy went out and YongJoon was curious to see her. He knocked the door and suddenlyDaehyun came to his side and sent him a weird face. He realized his mistake. Obviously.

He opened the door and waited a bit to enter. Eunji was looking outside of the window. His family was enjoying the sun outside, lying on the grass. He came to her side and poked her shoulder. She looked at him with confused eyes. “ YongJoon ?”

 

“Yep. So how are you today ?”

 

She gave him round eyes and he repeated himself. She shrugged. “Moody and dizzy.”

 

"Pregnant, maybe ?"

 

Eunji shook her head, understanding what he meant by his hands making a ball shape over his stomach. “When I became an teen and got those crisis, I would always end up with people asking me this. As soon as fifteen. I'm on my period right now if you still doubt it.”

 

She smiled with sass seeing him blush a bit and purse his lips. He sat next to her and she looked at him with curiosity. “Why YongGuk is not there ?”

 

She had an half smile. “I sent him to the village for errands. He have to buy a book, I may have or may not have made his task difficult but making the author name different and change a bit the title.”

 

“Why do you want to be alone ?”

 

Seeing that she didn't understand he searched for a piece of paper to write the question on it. Eunji shrugged. “It's boring. All that I do is staring at the ceiling or outside the window.”

 

“I'm sure YongGuk still want to be around you. Like really. He really cares for you.” He wrote on the paper before giving it to her. Eunji read it with a smile, thinking about how the way he shaped his letters was similar to YongGuk, yet looked less beautiful.

 

“I know. But I would want him to have fun after being released  of military duty, you know ?”

 

YongJoon laughed and flicked her forehead. He wrote encouraging words : “You are going to feel better soon. Holidays just started.”

 

She laughed reading that and looked at YongJoon with amused eyes. “I thought you hated me.”

 

He looked away for a bit, time to write on his paper. “ I'm sorry. I'm just over protective with YongGuk. It's like natural to do for me. It's nothing against you. YongGuk scolded me for misbehaving with you anyways.”

 

“YongGuk scolded you ?”

 

He nodded and she laughed. “Now I have something else to with.”

 

YongJoon heard the car of his mother park in front of the house and the  voice of his brother ashe searched for him. Soon, the door of the room was open and the man was looking at the singular pair sat on the couch next to the window. They shared a look and Eunji was still staring outside. YongGuk came and poked her waist. YongJoon looked at Eunji face light up seeing who 's standing next to her. She held his fingers, with a smile.“Already here ? Do you have my book ?”

 

“Eunji I had so much trouble to find this book. Like I had to do several libraries you're evil.”

 

“So did you have fun ?” She asked to him. He sighed. “Yeah, kind of. Did you have a nice time alone ?”

 

Eunji laughed. “No one leaves me alone in this house. Daehyun came to pester me about this girl he met in the bus, she only said sorry to him  and he talked all afternoon about her. Someone help this guy and your brother came in to ask if I'm pregnant, so eager to be an uncle , huh ? ”

 

YongGuk gave a look to his twin and YongJoon stood up. “Okay I'll leave you two alone.”

 

He was already at the door when Eunji yelled his name. “It was nice talking to you. Thanks for keeping me company.” YongJoon waved to her as answer and left.

I think he needs to get her a pregnancy test ^_^ Otherwise, I'm glad his dad was kind to her and that they got to enjoy some free time, because 4months apart is toooooo long from the one you love! This was a sweet chapter, seeing how he cares for her even at his party & how she wants him to enjoy even though she feels so sick! Thank you for updating, looking forward to more!

Chapter 30: Fluffy & pure adorableness! I was wondering why she was so anxious to leave, then he showed up. But she fought back, which was awesome & seeing Yongguk lose it, even better. This was such a sweet yet necessary chapter. It defines their relationship so well. Loved it! Thank you for updating!
