Her eyesShe just stared at me.
I held her wrist. "Let's get out of here first." I dragged her out and lead her to where the car was parked.
As soon as I got in car I the engine and drove away from there.
"Now answer me. How do you know Jiyeon?" There was no way I could hold back my curiousity.
She let out a short sigh. "Remember when I told you about my only friend?"
I looked at her unbelieved. "Was it Jiyeon?"
She nodded.
No way. Why everything seems so complicated? The stranger whom has a unbelievable story of why she is a half doll and why she is in my house is my sister's friend. I swear I'll go insane from all of these.
"How about you?"
She ripped the train of my thoughts. "What?"
"How do you know Jiyeon?"
I paused for a while before answering to her. It was a simpld question but not for me. It was hard to say I'm her sister when she never accept me as a sister. And I don't want Eunjung knows about my bad rellationship with my sister. I just want her to think everything is perfect in my life. If I tell her that Jiyeon is my sister she may ask to see her since they were best buddies and then she will find out that I'm nothing in Jiyeon's life. It's hurt my pride.
"She is a friend of mine."
"Since when? I never heard about you."
Please,Eunjung. Just let it go.
"We aren't close. We met around year ago." Seriously I need to stop lying. Each time I lie better than before.
"I see." She bought my lie and I couldn't be more glad.
But my heart... got hurt. They were friends for years but she doesn't know me. That means Jiyeon never talked about me. At least she could show my pic to her and say 'see? She is my sister that I hate the most in the world.' Seems like I'm really nothing for her.
We didn’t say a word till we arrived home.
“Go in first.” I said as soon as I parked the car.
She just nodded and got off. I waited for her to walk in then grabbed my phone and made a call.
“Darling.” The excitement in mom’s voice always cheer me up.
“Mom,is everything ok?”
“Of course. How about you? Do you eat well?”
“Don’t worry mom. I want to ask you something.”
“What?”
“Do you know where is Jiyeon now?” I don’t know why I care about it, I just feel something.
“She left hours ago. Why? Anything is wrong?” she started to get worry.
“No. but can you find out where does she go today? Please don’t tell her that I asked and don’t worry nothing happened I’m just curios about something and you know that I can’t ask her.”
“Ok. I’ll call you if I find.”
“Thanks.”
I hung up the call and headed to house.
She was sitting on couch depressed. I sighed. This feeling is getting stronger in me. ‘ It hurts to see her sad.’
“Aren’t you bored?” I asked as approached her.
“Huh?” she asked surprised.
“Let’s watch a movie.” I suggested and headed to television didn’t wait to her answer.
“Let’s watch a drama instead.” I heard her low voice.
“Why? Did you miss watching dramas?” I asked jokingly.
“No. let’s just watch a drama. One episode per day. so at least I have time to spend with you everyday.”
I froze. she was so honest. And I ….I like it. I was happy that she want spend her time with me. Maybe it’s because she doesn’t have anyone beside me. But I like it, I don’t care about the reason.
I prepared the drama and walked back to her.sitting next to her I grabbed her hands softly. “We can watch a whole drama in a day because after that I will ask you to watch another one with me. We can compensate the times you lost. I’ll help you.” I didn’t know what I’m saying. Just like I didn’t know the meaning of the words. I just said the first think that came to my lips. But I’m sure the source of them wasn’t my mind, so my heart? Maybe.Her eyes were shining by tears. “Thank
