Chapter 72:

“Who Am I?”

COTINUING FROM Keeping You (A Funny and Sweet Couple Chapter) CHAPTER…

HAE JIN’S POV

I fell to nothing. I fell into a hole of confusion. Questions after questions fill my mind. Who are you? Who am I? Where am I? Will I be able to stand up? Will I be able to ask? Will I even get an answer? What if the answer is also a lie? Just like my whole life… can anyone? Anyone please tell me the answers? Jebal.

Author: Such thoughts visits Hae Jin’s mind as she and Ji Hoo sits across each other. Ji Hoo places the plate in front of Hae Jin where he put the selected food for her

“You must have gone through an exhaustion plus stress after everything”-Ji Hoo-Oppa says as he places the food smiles at me lovingly

That smile. Is that real? Is this real? Or is this also a lie?

I stare at the food, and to be honest it looks great, edible… as usual. He always makes an effort on such things.

“Go on, you really should eat. Now I look at you, you have lost a lot of weight... I was so worried about you earlier…”- Ji Hoo-Oppa reaches for my hand and squeezes it firmly.

I just stare at him studying as if a strange new creature, the more I look at him the more questions pop up and the most hurtful question was…. What I heard earlier was it real? Or was I for a moment hallucinating?

“Gwenchana? You seem to be awfully quiet”- he asks as he caresses my hand and I stare at his fingers grazing my skin, I slowly shake my head into a disagreement

“I’m… fine.”-There I said it, it took a lot of courage to speak to be just frank but… nothing. I just pick up the spoon and try to eat the porridge he prepared with such effort.

“Uhmmm… Hae Jin-ah, I was going to ask… did you hear something. Uhmm… ani, what I mean why were you outside the doctor’s office?”-Ji Hoo-Oppa asks and I froze for a moment

Then that dreadful memory came rushing like cold water being splash on me…

FLASHBACK…

“Yes, Jae Hyun Nobunaga, the same person who donated blood for Young Master Woo Bin is the real sibling of his and not Hae Jin….”-The doctor said lowering his head

“Andwae… this is not real”-Says Yi Jeong-Oppa

“We have to tell her…”-Says Ji Hoo-Oppa

“Andwae… Bicheoseo?! Andwae! Hae Jin is Woo Bin’s dongsaeng, no one else! Araso?!”-Shouts Yi Jeong-Oppa

“She’ll be heartbroken if she founds this out…. Otoke?”-says Jun Pyo-Oppa

END OF FLASHBACK…

“Hae Jin-ah?”-Ji Hoo-Oppa’s voice brought me back to the present

“Huh?”-As if hearing him for the first time.

“I said that what were you doing outside the doctor’s office earlier?”-Ji Hoo-Oppa asked again and I can see in his eyes that he’s dreading for my answer... should I? Or shouldn’t….

“Uhmmm… I was going to ask the doctor bout couple of things and when I was about to open the door, I suddenly felt dizzy and everything went blank…”-I’m telling the truth, however I left out some details…

“Weoyo? Were you worried about something?”-Out of nowhere I asked him directly

“Huh? A, ani... I was just curious that’s all”- Ji Hoo-Oppa immediately respond as he brushes his hair back, he always do that when he is nervous or… lying. Not able to look me in the eyes straight.

“Oppa… there’s a story I heard from a good friend of mine in the states”-I said starting my so-called story

“There were two friends, the other friend found out an awful secret that can affect everything including their friendship… should that friend tell the secret? In your own opinion.”-I asked my heart beating fast

“If… it’s for that friend’s own good. Then that friend shouldn’t, keep it to himself or herself instead…”-Ji Hoo-Oppa says… without blinking

“Even if that information is too valuable? Life changing type”-I asked eager to hear more

“If I were that friend, to prevent my friend from hurting… I’d rather carry it to my conscience… the burden of hiding it as long as I can… just not to see my friend hurt”-He said with conviction, his stares shooting straight at me…

“Hae Jin-ah, why are you asking such questions?”-He then suddenly changes the subject, good try Oppa

“Nothing, it just came up to my mind… is it not true that the truth will always set you free?”-I said now with crossing fingers in the back of my mind

“Not all truths need to come to light… not all secrets who are hidden are awful if we don’t reveal… there’s always a good reason behind it”-He said now his gaze lowering. What? Is that guilt? Say it…

“Oppa, do you have something to say to me?”-There I said it… now just say it, to my face… Jebal.

“Say what?”-He responds, now pretending you don’t know?

“Anything you can think of now…”-I said trying not to imply something although I am already

“Yes, there’s one thing…”-He said, here it is… brace for it Hae Jin-ah

“That I’ll never ever leave your side no matter what…”-Oppa says as he reaches for my hand, and when he was about to reach my hand, I withdraw it away… and it made him surprised.

“What is it?”-Oppa asks, and I can’t just stand it... That smile. That sweet voice. That caring feeling he’s acting… is this all a pretend too?!

“Oppa…”-I said now staring at him. And I can feel my teeth grinding in unison

“Why are you acting like this?”- He asks as he tilts his head to the side

“You’re despicable”-I just said it... there, without further argument in my mind

“Mworago?”-He asks, and when he was about to open his mouth again…

(RING! RING! RING!) Oppa’s phone rang

“Jammkamman…”-Oppa says in a swift move he flips his phone and answers

“Yobeoseyo?”-JH

“Chinja? When?”-JH

“Araso… I’ll tell her right away”-Oppa says and in his eyes I can tell it was really great news

The tensioned atmosphere suddenly disappeared. The Oppa hanged up.

“Hae Jin-ah, pali… we have to get back to the hospital”-Oppa said as he stands up from his seat and with that I stood up immediately as well

“Weoyo? Did something happen to Woo Bin-Oppa?”-I asked

“Ani, he just woke up… he’s looking for you”-Ji Hoo-Oppa says with a smile

And with that I felt like a light feather… he’s awake! He’s okay! Hajiman… the truth remained still…

I AM NOT A SONG. I AM NOT WOO BIN-OPPA’S DONGSAENG.
