Jaebeom were getting ready when one of his maid knock the door and ask him to get down because his father need to speak with him.

Well this is weird Jaebeom think.

Usually his father will just barge inside his room even without knocking first.

Must be something important.

Jaebeom went downstair with his mind full of curiosity and its get curious when he saw the one journalist that interview him a few days ago with an older women.

"Urmm what is this?" Jaebeom said while walking toward his father.

Jaebeom just realize his father face look gloomy.

"Father? What happen?" Jaebeom straight away went to his father side.

"Jaebeom. Nothing happen. I just want to introduce you to your aunt. Well I dont think you remember her. This is your mother's sister in law." Junho

The mention of his mother make him anxious a little but when he saw the older women he felt some familiarity. Jaebeom take a sit beside his father.

"Hello." Jaebeom 

The said women sobs a liitle when she saw Jaebeom.

"Urm excuse me but are you okay?" Jaebeom

"Hello, Mr Jaebeom we meet again. I am sorry to interrupt your day like this. This is my mother and as what your father said we kinda related with you. I mean we are cousin." Youngjae

"I am so sorry but I forgot your name. What is your name again?" Jaebeom

"Its fine Mr Jaebeom. I am Youngjae." Youngjae

"I think we can drop the formality. You are my cousin so just call me Jaebeom and sorry I am actually lost. What are you doing here? I am not being rude. I am just curious." Jaebeom

"Its fine Jaebeom. Well I am pretty sure I am not the right one to tell the story because I also dont really know the details but please Jaebeom listen to my mom. She has a lot to say." Youngjae

Jaebeom

"Jaebeom ah, you already grown up. I still remember changing your diaper when I am heavily pregnant with Youngjae. I dont think you remember but I am your aunt, we used to play together when you were young. Youngjae and you are each other best friend. You guys always copy each other. Well it was a happy time. I know inside your mind you want to eliminate all other things that related to urmm your mother." Yonghwa

"Father what is this?" Jaebeom

"Jaebeom, urmm do you remember aunty Yonghwa? You always call her as Aunty Hwa. She always accompany you and your mother when I am abroad." Junho

Jaebeom vaguely remember a figure who he missed. The touches always warm and the figure always smell like apple pie.

"I remember someone who love to bake apple pie." Jaebeom

"That is my mom! I mean she love to make apple pie when I was a kid and now!" Youngjae

"I am sorry Jaebeom, I never had any intention to hide about your aunt from you. We actually lost contact with each other."Junho

"Its fine father but aunt Yonghwa, why now? I mean why are you here now when after all this time?" Jaebeom

"I want to protect both of you." Yonghwa

"Protect? From who?" Jaebeom

"Jaebeom, I have a confession and a whole lot of story to tell you. I hope you will understand and will not get angry." Youngjae

Youngjae told everything from when he had a vengeance toward their famiily because of his father suicide case and also about Jaebeom's mother.

Youngjae told everything to Jaebeom and Junho.

"So after my mom found the letter she told me the truth. I am so sorry Jaebeom. I truly hate you but when I finaly know you my hatred become lesser and when I know the real truth about you and my aunt. I am so sorry it happen to you." Youngjae

"You knew?" Jaebeom.

Jaebeom feel his insecurity increases when someone else knew his dark past

"Jaebeom please dont get mad at Youngjae. I am the one who told him because I dont know what else I can do to make him forget his vengeance and to clear all the misunderstanding." Yonghwa

"No I mea its fine but I hope you will keep it secret. I dont really like the idea of my past to be known in the public." Jaebeom

"Of course I will you are my family." Youngjae

"Well you already know me as your family but its never stop you for want to destroy us. Sorry for being skeptical." Jaebeom

"Urmm I dont know what to say but please believe in me. I know I was stupid for even thinking doing those thing when I actually dont know what really happen and depend only with some letter written by stranger. That is why we are here. I want to give these letter to the police when I heard about your accident." Youngjae said while taking out a bunch of letter from his bag.

"May I read it?" Junho

Youngjae nods and give Junho the letters.

"This is a lot of hatred words in a letter and you said you get this when you are 16?" Junho

"Yes uncle." Youngjae

"No wonder you get affected. The sender know his way and how to get your hatred toward us become deeper. This is dangerous Youngjae. I mean the way he fabricated the info and make you believe some of the lies make me wonder who is the sender is?" Junho

"Im sorry Uncle but I never ask maybe because of my foolishness but now the sender stop sending letter he just send a message to me." Youngjae

"How does the sender know your number?" Junho

Youngjae get quite for a while.

"I dont know uncle. I mean it never come in my mind. Just like the letter I get the message one day and its rare but the sender will message me a few time in a weeks. Asking about you and Jaebeom but more to Jaebeom." Youngjae

"Sorry Junho my son is genius but he is a little naive. He always get bully by her friend but he will never realize it." Yonghwa

"Mom." Youngjae whine

"No wonder I feel like I know you when we first meet. I know wee bump into each other but the vibe I get is like a brother. No wonder I did not get annoyed at you." Jaebeom

"Wow, Jaebeom that is a first. Usually he hate someone interview him and he always make it short but when Jae told me your interview lasted for an hour I am impressed and want to see who is the one that interview you." Junho

"I am honoured uncle. But like Jaebeom said I do feel the ease when I interview Jaebeom. I thought that my hatred will grow but no I just felt like I meet a long lost friend." Youngjae

"So now Junho should we report to police?" Yonghwa

"I dont think so Yonghwa because I am afraid they will arrest or do something with Youngjae and I dont want that to happen. Youngjae give me all the letters and your chat too. I will ask my private investigator to check on it and if we found who is the sender we will then ask the police help." Junho

"But I am afraid for Jaebeom safety. What if the person attacked him again?" Yonghwa

"Well we will find a way and both of your safety too is in danger. Please Yonghwa, move in with us. They already know where you live and what if you were alone? I am so worried when you run away from us. I pray so that you will always get protected. Please just stay here. Youngjae already change his number phone but we will never knew what will the sender do to us. He or she is a psycho. I know you will think I hate you with what Mina has done, but no Yonghwa. I am there when you first meet hyung and you are there when I am alone with little Jaebeom. I will not forget that. You are family and I also missed Youngjae. I try to find you guys but I just dont know where to even search for you guys. II tried but both of you vanished just like that" Junho

"Sorry, I just dont want to burden you that time after what happen with Mina." Yonghwa did not even finish her word when Junho interupt

''You dont need to think about that at all. To be truth I want you and hyung to be with Jaebeom because I know he will need both of your love but then hyung left us and my idea still stand the same. I want you to become mother figure for little Jaebeom but alas fate have another plan for us. I still want Youngjae and you to stay with us. Jaebeom need to know how it feel to have a mother love while I can be Youngjae's father figure. We can create our own family." Junho

"You are the same Junho, our little brother. I cant believe you are this matured. Junsu must be proud of you. I know he do. Because he always proud of you. You dont know how sorry he is with what happen and when Jaebeom cower when he saw him. Junsu is so sad. I dont blame him when he decided to die that day but I hope he can see how both of you become after a long journey." Yonghwa

Their gloomy vibes were interupt by a ringing bell.

"That must be Jinyoung. Urmm I hope you guys act normal." Jaebeom said while walk away to the door

"Jinyoung?" Yonghwa

"I will introduce him." Junho

Jinyoung sprint to the bus station after his lunch. He cant with how Jaebeom always make him fluster. He need to know Jaebeom answer. 

Jinyoung took the taxi, he does not care how much he need to pay. He need to see Jaebeom soon. Jinyoung dont know how he survive without seeing Jaebeom for more than a week. He really missed Jaebeom but his time as a student cant allow him to met Jaebeom regularly.

Jinyoung keep playing what kind of reaction will he see when he meet Jaebeom today. The last time they meet is when Jaebeom admitted to the hospital and Jinyoung want to visit the next day but his professor suddenly want to do a quick examination so he stayed at his university liibrary and then he got the news that Jaebeom can go back to his home the next day. He still cant visit Jaebeom.

The drive to Jaebeom's house feel so short today, he already arrive and after paying the taxi driver he ring the bell.

 Jinyoung anxiously waiting for the maid to open the door but he got shock when he see a smirking looking Jaebeom with his simple white shirt and jeans,

"Whoa." Jinyoung

"Like what you see?" Jaebeom raises his eyebrows.

Jinyoung just realize he burst it out loud and not in his mind. He tried to relax and make his usual face.

"Dont bother, I already see your awe when you see me. Well come in and behave yoursefl. I got guest today. Dont just jump and hug me." Jaebeom tease

Jinyoung face turn red when he remember what he done when he see Jaebeom on that day. He will never deny it because he was so relief when he see Jaebeom.

"Well you like it right?" Jinyoung flashes his big grin

Jinyoung said while hoping that Jaebeom will get shy but his hope crush when Jaebeom just show him his unamused face.

"Urgh, is this the way you woo me? You need to step up your game." Jaebeom said and gesture Jinyoung to come inside.

"Why am I here again?" Jinyoung grunt

"You missed me." Jaebeom said while showing his toothy smile

"Thank god you are cute." Jinyoung

"No I am not." Jaebeom frown

"Well you are Mr Jaebeom..You are so cute..cute cute cute." Jinyoung

Jinyoung see how Jaebeom expression change and now he knows how to tease Jaebeom with.

"You are here Jinyoung?" Junho said when Jinyoung come to the living room.

"Hi uncle! How are you? Ahhh I forgot you have a guest. Hello." Jinyoung bows to Yonghwa and Youngjae

"Not need to be extra cautious Jinyoung, This is my sister in law and Jaebeom's cousin. Yonghwa this is Jaebeom's fiancee Park Jinyoung." Junho proudly introduce Jinyoung and ask him to sit next to him.

"Ahh I see. Nice meeting you Jinyoung. Wow you are so handsome!" Yonghwa

"I am right? Thank you." Jinyoung chuckle

"Sorry aunt Yonghwa he is this kind of guy so full of himself." Jaebeom

"Yah what are you saying?" Jinyoung slap Jaebeom arm.

"I dont know you are engange Jaebeom. I mean I should know right? By the way I am Youngjae. Nice meeting you." Youngjae

"Well, we actually have a small party to announce their engagement its not that big we just want to make it low profile." Junho

"Yes because it was an arrange marriage so its easier if we want to cancel it." Jaebeom meddle 

"Yah what are you saying? Urghh dont listen to him aunt Yonghwa and Youngjae right? Both of you are so beautiful like equally beautifu and it also nice meeting both of you. May I ask why I never saw you before?" Jinyoung

"Well actually, they live far far away from here but now they move in with us." Junho

"Really? Wow. That is cool. We can be best friend Youngjae!" Jinyoung

Youngjae just laugh and nod agreeing with Jinyoung's word.

"I would not agree for that Youngjae. He is urmm one of a kind." Jaebeom

Jinyoung pout

"Of course! I am the only guy who can stand with your antics Jaebeom shi." Jinyoung said while blow raspberry to Jaebeom

"Both of you look like an actual couple and not an arrange marriage one. Usually the arrange marriage one willl have an awkward vibe but here you guy look comfy with each other." Yonghwa

"To be honest aunt Yonghwa. I was already accept my fate to get married with this cold guy over here. Awkward? I dont know that word. Jaebeom already attack me when we first meet with asking me to drop this plan and I retaliate because why not? He just want me to be blame when he also dont want this marriage" Jinyoung 

"Really Jaebeom? I never heard about it?" Junho

"Urmm father that was a long time ago." Jaebeom look uncomfortable when his father look at him with his glare.

"Uncle, you need to know I was suffered a long time for being his fiancee." Jinyoung tease

"Yah what are you talking about? Stop Jinyoung." Jaebeom 

Jinyoung just laugh.

"I am so happy seeing you guys but now we need to make a move. Youngjae has other thing he need to do. Junho, Jaebeom and Jinyoung nice meeting with you guy." Yonghwa

"Noona, just consider my idea that we talk about. I really want you to agree." Junho

"I will, Junho. I will," Yonghwa smile.

Yonghwa went to Jaebeom who already standing with Jinyoung beside him.

"Urm if you dont mind. May I hug you?" Yonghwa

Jaebeom look at his father and aunt Yonghwa simultaneously and then he nod.

Yonghwa give Jaebeom a hug and this hug feel so much different. Jaebeom can feel the longing with how tight his aunt hug him. He also heard Aunt Yonghwa whisper "I missed you." repeatedly. Jaebeom hug his aunt back. 

"Ouh Jaebeom." Yonghwa said after the hug and caress Jaebeom cheek.

Yonghwa let out a deep sigh and then walk away from Jaebeom. Then Youngjae came toward Jaebeom.

"Urmm sorry if you want to hug Jaebeom I dont think I can allow it." Jinyoung

Youngjae just laugh with Jinyoung statement while Jaebeom just roll his eyes. Junho and Yonghwa burst out laughing hearing the words

"No I dont want that. How about a handshake?" Youngjae

"That is fine." Jinyoung smile

"Okay, Jaebeom.  I will let you know when our interview will be publish and about the thing we talk about I hope you will always be safe." Youngjae said while reach out his hand to Jaebom's.

Jaebeom took Youngje hand and give a warm handshake.

"I will and you too. Please consider my father idea okay? Stay safe too." Jaebeom

They all watch Yonghwa and Youngjae leave.

"Okay, now I need to rest. Enjoy your stay Jinyoung!" Junho said and leave the pair behind.

"So what you want to do?' Jaebeom

"Ouh, I have a lot of things I want to do with you but I think you will not agree with me." Jinyoung smirk

"Well I hope of those things will include food because I am starving right now." Jaebeom

Jinyoung sigh

"I dont know if you are just kidding me or you are so oblivious." Jinyoung

"What?" Jaebeom sincerely ask

Jinyoung sigh

"Ouhh nevermind." Jinyoung give up

"You seems more obnoxious that before what happen?" Jaebeom

"Well I dont know if you remember but last week I pour my feeling at you and you still did not answer me!" Jinyoung

Jaebeom just chuckle

"Aigooo, I am sorry but I dont feel you pour your feeling at me. Its just like you say Hi to me." Jaebeom

"Really? Jaebeom? You dont feel my sincerity when I confessed?" Jinyoung

Jaebeom took Jinyoung hand and make him sit. Now there are face to face and Jinyoung dont know how to control his emberrassment. Jinyoung 100 % sure his ears is so red right now. His heartbeat pound so hard.

"Listen carefully. I want you to know something. I never ever had a relationship before and frankly I dont intend to do it soon but then I met you. I mean its not a great thing at first considering our situation. But to feel annoyed and urghhh slightly mad at the same time is hard for me but you make it easy for me to feel like that to you. But then I dont feel like that. I feel easy I mean I dont mind when you keep teasing me and all and suddenly I am okay when I see you. So when you confessed to me I seriously dont know how to react but I dont feel the annoyance i just feel calm and I almost thought you are pulling my leg but when you keep hugging me I know you are sincere. Its just you need to know it was hard for me to accept this like I dont know why but I just cant say those words to you without me knowing what my true feeling is." Jaebeom

"You are really annoyed at me huh? Well Mr Lim Jaebeom to me you sound like you have feeling toward me but you just not ready to confessed to me. I dont mind I can wait but you seriously like me right? I mean you never say it to my face before and I need to be obnoxious about it because I need the confirmation that you will never leave me. I actually want to hear you said those word but if you think its not the right time I am fine. I just need some reassurance that we have the same feelings. That this is not one sided." Jinyoung

"Jinyoung I am really bad with skinship and showing affection to others." Jaebeom

"Yes I know." Jinyoung

"Shussh, listen. Its hard for me to even touch other person without my anxiety coming to me but I was fine when I was with you. You dont realize right? You never see me when I am panicking right? Because I dont want you to see my other side. My insecure self. I hate to show it to others. That is why I always act like I am fine but inside my mind you never know. I dont want you to see me like that because I am afraid you will go after you realize who the real me." Jaebeom said while covering his face.

Jinyoung look at Jaebeom and he feel his heart tug when he see Jaebeom look so insecure right now. He look small. Jinyoung feels like he want to hug Jaebeom. Jinyoung took Jaebeom shaking hands.

"Im sorry. I dont know that. I dont know what is your real self is because I never see it but I am pretty sure I will like your real self just like I like your little annoying self or your cold side self or your oblivious self. I dont know if you believe me but I think I already like you since when we are teenagers. I mean I know I have a little crush toward you when you are an emo teenager.I mean when we met at the garden I just saw a pretty looking teenager watching the sky at night and even though I dont know who are you at that time I already maybe fall for you but then I just let my feeling go like that because I knew we will never meet again and yet fate change that. I am just like you at first hating the idea of arrange marriage but then it was with you. I am fine with that and as annoying you make me feel I know pretty sure that I like you and that like change to love and when I heard the news of your accident I suddenly felt I need to tell you my feeling or else I will regret it. So Jaebeom dont you worry about me leaving you because I try to leave you and yet fate does not allow me to do that." Jinyoung

Both of them look at each other eyes.

Jinyoung eyes that full of confidence and hope while Jaebeom eyes is still full of doubt.
