Chapter twenty-seven.
My new hope.
Two years have passed, L.Joe and I got closer. I was in my bedroom and was thinking deeply: seriously, I was confused with my feelings for L.Joe. Lately, I felt strange when he was around me. This feeling appeared since that moment...
[Flashback]
L.Joe was sitting next to me, we were in front of YuKwon's grave. I was staring at it. I then felt, a hand who squeezed my hand, I looked next to me and saw L.Joe smiling, he said:
"Come. I'll show and taught you a dance which will make you laugh."
He dragged me in a park and started to dance while rapping : I recognized Teen Top's song, «To you.»
♪A jin cha nadeoreo mwol eocheora go ?
Nal tteona eolmana haengbokhalla go ?♫
I chuckled softly and he said happily :
"Finally...You gave me a real smile."
It was the night , JiEun and the others decided to join us. They wanted to play basketball, when JiHoon said:
"Yah, L.Joe hyung, are you sure, do you wanna play ? You're short..."
Everybody laughed.
L.Joe smacked JiHoon's head and said:
"ShinYeong, Get on my back." He bent down in front of me. After that, he continued:
"Now, I'll win this basketball game, JiHoon.."
While playing, finally, I received the ball in my hands, when L.Joe shouted:
"ShinYeong, NOW!" I threw the ball and we scored. He then, hugged me:
"ByungHun Oppa...C-can't breath."
"Oh sorry." He smiled while rubbing the back of his neck.
Suddenly, a strange feeling filled my heart, my heart started to beat really fast.
[End of the Flashback]
I decided to take some fresh air, I went to a park near my house and sat on a swing. I then, put my earphones in my ear and listened to music, my eyes were a bit watery: the song was : " LeeSsang-Tears." It was YuKwon's favorite song. I started to burst out of crying and whispered:
"I can't ...I can't YuKwon. I can't forget you...Sorry." I looked up at the sky. I started to sing softly:
♪ Jibap gyedangil arae honja nunmul
Sit alone on the stairs in front of my house in tears
Niga alkkabwa mollae humchin nunmul
In case you find out, I secretly shed tears
Yakhaejijianheuryeo balbeodungeul chiryeoda
I try so hard not to become weak
Nae nunmul
My tears
Nae nunmul nunmul nunmul
My tears,tears,tears
Tto dasi nunmul nunmul nunmul
Once again, tears tears tears
Sorieobseo tto i don’t wanna know
Again silently – I don’t wanna know
Nae gieogeul da beonjigehae
It smears my memories ♫
When I felt someone staring at me, I looked next to me and saw someone who sat next to me: it was JiEun. My eyes widened. She smiled a bit and said:
"Ah...My crush finally asked me out! And you, ShinYeong?"
I was still confused :
"Hm?"
She continued:
"I mean, it's been two years, since YuKwon left this world. And I am sure, someone is still waiting for you...Won't you do anything about it ?"
I looked away and answered:
"I'll do something..."
She chuckled:
"Ah...Now! I can recognized, Kim ShinYeong!"
I went back home and saw L.Joe who was sitting in front of my house. I thought about what JiEun said. I came in font of him and he looked up. He started to scold me:
"Yah ! Where have you been?! I tried calling you but you didn't answer."
Before I could answer, he brought his hands on my cheeks and cupped my face: he studied my eyes.
"Have you been crying again? You cry baby."
He blew softly on my eyes and said:
"It's still red. Come."
He held my hand and brought me inside the house.
Seriously I was tired and we sat on the sofa. I immediatly fell asleep.
[L.Joe's P.O.V]
"Did you eat?" I didn't hear ShinYeong answering. I sighed and repeated:
"Did you eat?"
"Yah! Why aren't you-"I looked next to me and saw ShinYeong sleeping, I was staring at her.
When her head fell on my shoulder, I quickly looked away and gulped. When I received a call:
"Yeobosaeyo?"
"ByungHun-Ah? It's your uncle."
My eyes widened:
"What?"
"Why are you afraid, I just escaped from the police when they were chasing me, two years ago? Did you forget the thing I ordered you to do to that girl who is sleeping next to you?"
I glanced behind me and closed the curtains. I remained silent when he continued:
"It won't last long...You two are cute together but it will be the end soon."He ended the call after that.
I thought:
" Even if I have to die because of my uncle...I'll make sure that ShinYeong will be safe. So just please, ShinYeong...just stay by my side."
I put my head on her head and closed my eyes...
