Chapter 18
A Promise To My Twin SisterYoona's POV
The liveless playground near my house has always been the best place to think, because no one is interested in that playground. After hearing the news that Jaejoong and my twin sister are together, it has been quite hard for me to talk normally with her. It has been more than a month since they are together. To be honest, it has gotten easier for me to let go of Jaejoong, but now, the problem is, I feel that I've just lost my one and only sibling.
I sat on the swing while playing with the soil with the tip of my toes, I lowered my head and keep swinging back and forth.
"Why is this so hard?" I whispered to myself, "I should let go of him, let go, let go, let go" I mumbled
"What are you trying to say?" suddenly an angelic voice came out of nowhere, "It has been a while, Yoona-ssi"
I looked at him and forced a smile, "Oh, Baekhyun-ah? Why are you here?"
"Is there anything wrong? You don't look good. Tell me, I'm always ready to listen" he smiled
"Don't make me feel that I'm a bad woman, Baekhyun-ah. Please stop treating me well after what I've done to you" I said
He gave out a smile, "Starting from today onwards, I want you to think that I'm treating you as my friend, don't think as me as someone who likes you"
I didn't say anything, but lowered my head
"Are you keeping this to yourself?" he asked slowly, "Just let it out. It's not good handling it yourself when you know it's difficult for you"
I let out a sigh, "Baekhyun-ah, do you think I've always treated
"What do you mean by saying that? You love her, she loves you too" he patted my back
"Aniyo. I just realised that she has always given up the things that she likes, just to let me have it. I'm her older sister, but yet, I've acted like . I should've taken care of her, and protect her, not the other way around" I said as I cried quietly, not letting him know
Baekhyun rubbed my back, "She has always been sincere when she's treating you well, don't think that you're a burden to her. She told me that eventhough she might hated you, you will always be someone she loves. That's why, don't be like this anymore, Yoona-yah!"
I sobbed even more, "I'm really useless. I knew she's rude and arrogant, but yet I'm taking everything away from her, expecting her to respect me more. We fight a lot of times, but despite her arrogant personality, she backs off first"
"What caused you two to have a conflict?" Baekhyun asked slowly
"We.. we liked the same guy. I've always liked him, but he liked her from the beginning. She told me she wouldn't like him, and she'd help me to get back with him. My heart broke when she told me that they're actually together" I cried, "I didn't know what to say to her. I loved her, but it's really difficult for me to let go of him as well. I felt betrayed, but at the same time, I felt like I betrayed her"
Baekhyun walked closer and gave me a hug, "I really hate it when I have to see the Jung sisters crying in front of me, so please stop" he whispered
"Baekhyun-ah, I'm really sorry for treating you harshly! I didn't mean to be rude or anything" I apologized as I cried on his shoulder
"No worries. Just remember that I will patiently wait for you. You have my phone number, don't you? Just call me whenever you need me. I'm your bodyguard, I'm available 24 hours" he joked
I smiled, "Gomawo.."
"Let's grab a coffee" he said as he dragged me out of the playground
-gloria jeans coffee-
"Americano, no sugar?" Baekhyun asked
"Yes, how do you know?" I was excited, "I never went out to have coffee with you, ever!"
"Jung sisters hate sugar" he laughed
"Here!" he passed me the drink and sat in front of me, "So, where's that brat now? dating?"
I sipped my Americano, "She dressed really beautifully today.. I bet it's a special occassion for those two"
"Yoona-yah!" he suddenly got excited, "What do you want to do everytime you're depressed?"
"Me? Hmm.. It felt good when I've talked to my friend about my problems.." I answered, "I haven't really told you everything. So, are you ready to listen?" I smiled
Baekhyun nodded as he chew some cookies in his mouth
"So, I'll tell you about Jaejoong now" I said and cleansed my throat, "We.. we met around three years ago, and I've had feelings for him since then. That day, I was walking down the streets with my umbrella, it was raining heavily and I just missed the bus since I had to leave school late.
"Of course!" he laughed
"I walked on the streets with my umbrella, and when Jaejoong's car came towards my direction, it splashed water on me and I was soaked. I was lucky that he isn't like those jerk dramas that would just leave after they tortured girls with rain water"
"So did he come and help you?" Baekhyun asked
"Yes. I was mad, but I couldn't just let it out since he's really charming. He came out with his umbrella and covered me with his blazer. He asked me whether I was okay, and he apologized. I thought I was dreaming when he dragged me to his car and drove me home" I smiled, "Since that day, we've become friends for a year, but he had to leave for Paris to study"
"How about
I giggled, "So you don't trust her that much, huh?"
"To be honest, yes! You have to know that she actually hides something from me, because she's afraid that I might or something" Baekhyun laughed
"I see. Actually, she's telling you the right thing. I was there with her during the party, but I didn't hang out with the same people as her, so I didn't get to see him during the party.
"CONTINUE!"
"Alright! They began to exchange phone numbers and so they hanged out together often, Jaejoong and
Baekhyun was still drowned in the story, "Is this.. a storyline for a drama?"
"YA! Stop being silly" I yelled
"Okay, so now I know a lot about him already. Did he know that you like him?" Baekhyun asked
"Of course! But I really want to show him that I've gotten over him" I said, "It would be great if someone confessed to me today" I joked
"MWO?! Be my girlfriend? Be my girlfriend? Would you love to?" Baekhyun teased
I laughed, "You're such a mood-maker, Baekhyun-ah!"
"There's so many boys out there that're head over heels in love with you!" Baekhun said
"But, I don't feel like going in a relationship. It's really troublesome.." I said
So.. Five minutes of awkward silence, Baekhyun kept staring at me with those innocent glares.
"My eyes distracting you, young lady?" he asked jokingly
I stared at him and didn't say anything, until.. something great pops out into my head
"BAEKHYUN-AH! Please be my boyfriend!" I yelled
"Mwo? Are you.. are you.. are you alright, Yoona-ssi?" he checked my forehead temperature
"I'm alright, I'm alright! Please, be my boyfriend" I begged
"But why, all of a sudden? You just rejected my confession.."
I began being serious again, "Byun Baekhyun, this is just going to be a fake relationship, you got it?"
He was dumb-founded, "AISH! Yoona-yah! You just shortened my life by 10 years!"
"HAHA, at least you could act as my boyfriend" I laughed, "So, are you agreeing?"
"Of couse!" he said and gave me a friendly hug
-house gate-
"I'm gong to be your driver from today onwards, huh?" Baekhyun asked, "It's gonna be expensive!"
"Hey! Stop being so in love with money, or else your face would be round like coin" I teased
He laughed, "OH! Look! Its
We were still in the car so we could just watch them first before getting out, "The guy is Jaejoong. Look at them, they dress really nicely tonight"
"Let's start our mission!" Baekhyun said as he got out of his car and dragged me out by the hand, "I'm not gonna let this mission fail!"
"Baekhyun-ah! We're not ready, yet" I whispered
"I am the man, just follow my action!" he whispered back and stopped just right in front of my house gate, "Now, we're standing in front of your house. When we were in the car, we're just friends, now I'm you boyfriend" he said and hugged me again
"I hope.. they saw this" he whispered and rubbed my head
