Who I Really Am
Less Than PerfectNam...Ji...Eun. The syllables rolled over my tongue smoothly, familiarly. "Wait. I'm...I'm Jieun?"
Uh...Jieun?" Yoseob's melodious voice rang in my ears.
"...huh?" I gave him a confused look. "Jieun? Who's Jieun?"
"O-oh..." his eyes widened. "Sorry...I guess I had the wrong person!" he scratched his head. "You look just like this person I used to know," he laughed awkwardly.
"Liar! That's your lying face. Jieun, I know when you're lying to me," Yoseob said to me.
"I lost Jieun and her family on January 5th. 11:39 AM. Three years ago, on my birthday."
"Oh my god," I voiced aloud. "I'm Jieun," I sprinted up to my room and closed the door. I'm Jieun. I'm Yoseob's Jieun. Oh god. What do I do...do I tell him? Or should I leave it? Will he hate me? Or will he treat me like how he used to treat her me? I roughly ran my hands through my hair and shut my eyes.
BZZZT! BZZZT! My alarm sounded, but it was a faint, distant noise. I groggily opened my eyes, and found myself propped up against the wall. I'm going to see Yoseob at school today... the thought brought unneccesary butterflies to my stomach. I was so worried about telling him...but so be it. I quickly got ready for school and ran out the door. As I was walking up, I heard a familiar voice calling my name. Oh god...It's time.
"Jiyoon!!!" the voice called again. I turned around and waved at Yoseob, forcing a smile. "Jiyoo-Jiyoon what's wrong!?" Yoseob immediately saw through my facade. "Is it your...thing?"
"Yeah," I sighed. "I found out a little more about who I was-am,".
"Well isn't that something to be happy about?" Yoseob cocked his head. "Unless-NO WAY!" he exclaimed, catching me off guard. "Are you like some secret mafia leader's daughter who like got her memory erased or something-" he rambled. I looked at him, and he quieted down. "I was just joking, you know..."
"Yeah, but..." I thought about it. "I'm...my...I..." I kept cutting myself off, trying to find the perfect words. "My real name is..."
"Oh my god, Jiyoon..." Yoseob said exasperatedly. "What is it!?"
"My real name is Nam Jieun,".
