i think my love is you.

I can’t believe this. Why are all the bad things happening after something good happens?! It's been only a one or two months since Yunhee finally regained her memory and Yifan is cleared of all the embezzlement and fraud charges but now harabeoji’s health is terrible.

I don’t want this to happen. Why must this happen?! I was about to bawl my eyes out but earlier when Ms. Kim almost did, harabeoji told her he didn’t want to see anyone cry because it would only make him sad and he didn’t want to be. So I couldn’t do that, not right now.

Suddenly baba, mama and ahjusshi entered the room when I was holding onto harabeoji’s left hand while Ms. Kim held onto his right. He was pale as a ghost as he looked at them.

“Are they here?” he managed to whisper softly.

Mr. Zheng exchanged glances with Ms. Kim as he shook his head.

“They’re on their way abeoji, just wait a little longer.” She stated, squeezing his hand. And waiting he did. But it’s been hours. Something bad must have happened, unnie and oppa would never not come at a time like this especially if it involved harabeoji.

“I’ll be back, harabeoji,” I whispered as I let go of his hand unwillingly.

As I drove to our residence, I found that the only people home were the employees. They reported that they had neither seen nor heard from Yunhee and Yifan making my nerves jump all over the place. Where could those two be? Then I remembered how much of a workaholic gege was and my next destination was his office.

Getting there, I was tapping my foot impatiently and checking the clock every five seconds as this damned elevator slowly climbed its way to the top. As the doors finally pried apart for me, I ran to his office and to my dismay the lights were off and the door was locked. I pulled out my phone and tried calling him but no answer. Then I heard banging and screaming.

“Someone, anyone, help me!” she shouted. That sounds like unnie. I rushed over, following her voice and that’s how I ended up standing in front of a supply closet. I pressed my ear up since there was no more noise and heard her say “Please.”

“Unnie?” I questioned. For some reason I didn’t think it was her in there because it wouldn’t have made sense for her to be in such a place but then she replied.

“Xiaxia! I’m stuck in here!” Yunhee declared. My eyes widened, it was her. I tried opening the door but it was like Yifan’s office, locked.

“Okay, wait here! I’ll go get a staff member to unlock it.” I shouted. As I ran down the hall I found a janitor cleaning the bathroom. “Do you have a key to the supply closet?!” I yelled. He was shocked at my presence but nodded. “Give it to me.” And with shaking hands he did so.

I quickly returned to the closet and liberated her. I saw her face was also pale and her eyes were already red. “How did you get in there, and where is Yifan?” I prodded. I noticed unnie’s body tensing and her nibbling on her bottom lip.

“He locked me up in there.” She stated, timidly. My eyes widened as I shook my head.

“Oppa would never do something like that to you!” Yifan locked her in there? But why!? How!? He would never do something so cruel.

“But he did Xiaxia. I’m shocked just as you are but what are you doing here? And what time is it?” she said as she grabbed the janitor’s arm. I guess he followed me back here.

I also stole a glimpse of the time and saw that it was already midnight.  

And when I realized I had to tell her what happened, my heart crippled. I swallowed, “It’s harabeoji unnie…When you and oppa didn’t come, omma ordered me to find you guys since no one was answering their phones. I went home first and saw that it was empty so I came here after. I heard your voice and—”

“What’s wrong with harabeoji?!” she cut in, her lips beginning to quiver.

“He’s, it’s almost his time to go.” I mumbled. I reached my arm out to her but she took a few steps back. “Unnie he’s been—”And before I could say another word, she had started sprinting away. “Unnie!” I shouted but no use. And then I felt myself crying. I sniffled and handed the keys back to the janitor.

Yifan didn’t really lock her in there did he? Then for some reason, I called unnie’s phone. I walked by his office and heard her ringtone. I looked through the small glass and could spot the light of the device and my heart broke. He did it. He really did it.

My phone fell to the floor. I have to get back to the hospital.

I started beeping my horn because of the traffic. Seriously!? What are all these people doing out this late?! As I waited, my tolerance level lowered and I pulled out my phone, calling Yifan. No answer?! Of course!

I swear when I see him I’m going to give him a piece of my mind. Harabeoji just hang in there, unnie is on her way.

“Thank you for coming.” Mr. Zheng and Ms. Kim greeted my parents and I. We were at harabeoji’s funeral and my parent bowed down to them with sorrowful expressions. I also did the same but my gaze lingered more on Yunhee who was sitting there in all black clothing looking lifeless. I know she’s hurting more than anyone. I mean he was HER grandfather and what the most was that she didn’t even get the chance to see him.

“Aish where the heck is oppa?!” I snarled in my seat as I stared at my phone. Voicemail again?! I got up out of my seat and ran to the bathroom. I tried his number one more time and when he didn’t answer, I decided not to stay silent.

“YAH WU YI FAN! Where are you? Unnie told me everything you did to her, are you crazy!? Aish I can’t believe you, after doing all of that to her, you run away like a coward? Because of you, unnie never got the chance to see Harabeoji for the last time. It’s your fault she’s hurting, if you have any heart left, you better attend his program. If you don’t, I will personally hang you, you got that?!” I then hung up.

My face was bright red as I returned to my parents. I saw Myungsoo as well and gave him a slight nod. I should have taken a seat next to him but why would I do that? He doesn’t love me. He told me himself. He loves Yunhee unnie. I don’t know when it happened or how
