"You didn't leave because you wanted to. You left because you were forced to."
Said Jihan and Jiwoo looked up at him with shock.
"How? How do you know?"
"Minhyuk told me. Things that happenend to you, just in one day. You might have had a hard time. Here, drink water."
Jihan poured Jiwoo a glass of water. She drank some and put it back on the side table.
"So you know about that too?"
"About what?"
"About him, not being our dad?"
Jihan sighed.
"Yes! I knew it. I got to know about it a year after i left. I didn't tell you because you're already busy with your studies. I didn't want you to be worried about anything else. You already have so much to worry about."
Jiwoo broke the hug. She shook her head.
"Why do you always think about me? Yes, i have things to worry about. But think of yourself too. You had so much to worry about as well. You had more, more than me. Still, you never thought of yourself, not even once."
"Even when you were away, you didn't tell me where you lived, never told me where you work or what you do. I knew nothing about you that at some point, i started to think you're becoming an underworld gangster."
Jiwoo scolded. Jihan smiled. Jiwoo looked at him in disbelief. She thought that she had given him a lecture and here he is, smiling like an idiot. She was about to say something again when he stopped her.
"Thank you so much for your worries. But i think you should sleep. I know that you are worried about me. But i want you to know that i'm fine. And about my work, i still want you to have some time, to prepare yourself. Because it's not only work. But i promise, it won't take to much time. At least, not four years."
"Ok, if you say so."
Then Jiwoo laid down and hugged Jihan. In no time, she slept again. Jihan looked at her and thought, "i'm sorry, Jiji! I'm not a good brother. I worried you too much. I couldn't take you with me, away from that bastard."
He also slept....
8 'o clock-
In the morning :-
Jiwoo woke up and slowly sat straight. Jihan was no where to be seen. Just then she heard a knock on the door and Minhyuk came in with a tray of food.
"Wakey wakey~ It's time to get up"
He said with a deep voice, immitating my favourite group's member.
"I'm already up. And you don't sound like Felix. At. All."
"Ouch! You didn't have to do me dirty. I was just being nice, trying to lughten up the mood. But you don't like my kindness. I'll just take your favourite breakfast back. I'll eat it by myself."
Minhyuk turned away. Jiwoo immediately got out of the bed and held his arm, stopping him mid-way. Well, to Jiwoo, she just stopped him. But to Minhyuk, that touch sent a big-aah electric shock throughout his whole body.
He didn't know how. He didn't know why.
"How do you know that pancakes are my favourite breakfast?"
Jiwoo asked in a low voice. Minhyuk looked at her with a done expression on his face.
"Girl, the whole world knows. Even Kevin knows. You literally scream, 'I love eating pancakes for breakfast.' everyday.
"Makes sense. I'll eat it. Thank you!"
Jiwoo took the tray out of Minhyuk's hands and began to eat the pancakes happily. She had a little sparkle in her eyes, after taking the first bite. She realy loved pancakes.
"They're the best. It tastes like the ones that Jihan oppa makes"
"He made them. Jihan Hyung made 'em, specially for you. He didn't even let us touch anything in the kitchen today. Not even Jaekyung. If you're wondering what i mean by 'not even Jaekyung' I said that because he's Hyung's favourite among the three of us. Because he loves doing the dishes and cleaning the bathroom. Two chores that everyone hate, Jaekyung does it. And that's why he's Hyung's favourite. But today, he didn't even let him come in the kitchen. He said, 'i'll do everything by myself.' Now, finish them quickly and get ready, we have to go to university."
"You talk too much."
Jiwoo said. Minhyuk just smiled in return and said,
"I know! And i love talking too much."
"What time is it right now?"
"It's 8:20. Congrats! You're late for you first lecture."
"WHAT?! Well, You're late too."
"Girl, the problem is for you. I have my own ways to escape punishment when i'm late to university. And you know the teacher's love me. So they never get mad when i'm late. Ok! Now i'm gonna go and get ready. Bye!"
Saying this Minhyuk got out of the room, closing the door behind him. He let out a breath he didn't even know he was holding in. He brought his hand to his chest, feeling his rapid heartbeat and thought,
"What's wrong with me?"
