Chapter 9

A Promise To My Twin Sister

 

[Yoona's perspective]

    Without even giving me a chance to think through what I've said to her, she slapped me really hard and left me standing in front of the house gate, she slammed the door as if I wasn't meant to be there, as if I was a stranger.

 

"Why are you standing here?" someone tapped my shoulder.

 

I looked back, it was Jaejoong. Those teary eyes and that sweet smile on his face did not change, it was still the same as before. The way he tapped my shoulder with his thumb, the feeling I get, is still the same as before, "Nothing. Why are you here?" I asked, pretending to not know he was there on the local pool

 

Jaejoong bit his lower lip, just like how he did before. "Hmm, I just happened to pass by, so I decided to come and talk for a moment"

 

"Ah? Is that so?" I asked slowly, lowering my head. I was forcing myself to stop expecting him to 'sincerely' fall for me, "Okay, come in" I added, and pushed the gate inwards.

 

"Mom, Dad, Jaejoong-ssi is here to visit you guys" I shouted. Mom and Dad hurriedly ran to the kitchen to grab some biscuits and tea, specially prepared for him

 

"Anyeonghaseyo, Jaejoong-ssi" greeted Dad

 

"Ah, Mr. Jung! How's work in Dad's office? I heard you helped him a lot! He's really grateful towards you, also Mrs. Jung" Jaejoong smiled

 

"Here's your tea" Mom handed him the teacup and sat between me and Dad, "You just went back from Paris?" she suddenly asked

 

Jaejoong nodded and slowly sipped the tea, "I'm going to continue my studies here in Korea. I'm lucky that Dad and Mom agreed"

 

Mom and Dad looked at him as if he glows or something, they liked Jaejoong since they first met him, which is when Dad first joined the company. "Mr. Jung, do you mind if I ask you question?" he suddenly asked

 

"Go ahead...."

 

"2 years ago, when I told you that I liked you, why did you stop me and persuaded me to be with Yoona instead?" Jaejoong voice was deepened

 

Mom and Dad was shocked by the question, they didn't know how to react, I was sitting just in front of Jaejoong, but he did not even worry about how I would feel after hearing those questions from him.

 

Dad cleanse his throat, "Eerhm, Jaejoong-ssi, I don't think it's really necessary for you to know the reason behind it. We're just doing it for the benefit of you, and my daughters" Dad explained

 

Jaejoong stole a glance of me and continued to speak, "But I would like to know why? until now, I would sit at the corner of my room, and think about it, but I couldn't get any possible reason. I like you so much, and it's just too difficult for me to force myself to fall for her twin" he said

 

My heart felt as if it was torn into two, just so painful that I feel numb inside. After 2 years waiting for him to come back and embrace me, he actually made it clear that he likes you instead. Out of those boys that fall head over heels for me, only Jaejoong caught my attention.

 

"Jaejoong-ssi, no matter what you say to us, you and Yoona are not good enough for you, you're the heir of a successful company and we're just a normal family that needs to work day and night to survive" Mom explained

 

"Alright, no use being here. Thank you for the answer and you know I'm not going to give up on her" he said and bowed

 

 

1, 2, 3, 4, 5.. I watched him walked away, while deciding whether I should run after him or not, put away my pride this time, or just to keep it inside? I don't have much time to think, but in the end, I did choose to run after him..

 

"Joong-ah!" I called his nickname, just like how I used to.

 

He stopped, and looked back at me, "I don't think you're supposed to call me that. Not anymore, Yoona-ssi..." he said slowly, and continued to walk away

 

I stood still, just froze in the position, "Can we talk?" I asked

 

He looked back again, stared at me for a few seconds then he nodded in agreement. We headed to the nearby park, watching the kids playing happily, while we try to solve everything out.

 

"Joong-ah, where have you been?" I begin the conversation

 

He stared at me again and sighed, "Don't call me that again..."

 

"Araso, where have you been?" I asked again

 

"Paris? And now I'm back..."

 

"In Paris for the last two years? I didn't hear anything about you since two years ago, and so does my parents. But guess what, you  knows everything, she even knows you're here in Seoul" I begin to talk faster

 

He paused for a second and leaned forward, "what are you trying to say?"

 

"What I'm trying to say is.. Could you just please stop.. Stop liking her! You're hurting someone else" I said to him, trying to make him notice that he's hurting me, because he loves you, my twin

 

"I don't hurt anyone, I'm trying to protect the person I love, as well as the people that she loves. I like her, and that will never change" he explained

 

"You.. So even from the start you never liked me? Although you met me first, before you met her?"

 

"Honestly, yes. Love isn't about how long you've known each other for, but how comfortable you feel when you're together. And it's not about who's prettier than who, but how well that person could make you feel treasured. You've got so many people that liked you, you didn't have to worry about losing a guy like me. you  had gone through a lot, and she went through it all herself, no one had got her back. She told me I was the first to actually worry about how she feels, and I knew she's telling the truth" he sighed, "I just felt like I needed to protect her until the end, only her" he added.

 

Tears ran down my cheek, he saw it but didn't even bother to comfort me, "Jaejoong-ssi..", I changed the way I call him, "I'd just have to tell you that it's actually not right to make me fall for you, when you don't actually like me. You know it hurts, don't you?" I continued

 

"I know.. But that's just how it is. I'm really sorry, but up until now, I can't accept your feelings" he sighed, "Just give you  a chance, she also deserves to be loved", he walked away

 

"Saranghamnida~" I said to him and watched him walk away
