EIGHTEEN || 2YEON

CHAPTER FOURTEEN

Jeongyeon's POV

"Kyungsoo is my brother." I said with a deep sigh

"What!?" They all said in unison. Well except for Nayeon. She was just sitting quietly beside me, listening to what I was about to say.

"Well, he's my brother from my father. We don't have the same mom. When I was 10 years old my dad introduced him to us. I was fine with it, since I was an only child I thought it was cool to have an older brother. We were both fine with each other. I don't really know where or what happened to his real mom but I don't care anymore. Since then I would always hear mom and dad fight." I said and stopped for a second. Every scenario of them fighting came back to me. Nayeon held my hands and just smiled at me. "One night, my mom woke me up and told me to pack my things. I was so confused but followed her. We ran away that night. My father followed us and mom was crying while she drives away. Eventually we got into an accident, which-" I bit my lips trying not to cry.

"It's fine if you don't feel comfortable continuing it." Jihyo said. But I just ignored her.

"Mom died that night, because of the accident. That was one of my worst nights ever. Since that day I blamed dad for everything. For why mom died. I hated him even Kyungsoo. When I was 15, I changed my name to Jeongyeon and moved in this apartment." I said finishing my story.

"That's explains your hatred for Kyungsoo." Chaeyoung said

"So your real name is not Jeongyeon?" Mina asked

"Yoo Kyungwan." I said. All of us became quiet. I stood up and smiled. "Let's get ready, we still need to practice for tomorrow's performance and basketball game."

"I'll go ahead first, I still have things to fix in the school." Jihyo said

"I'll come with you, Jih!" Sana said.

"I'm staying here. All of you could go." Nayeon said and they all just agreed.

"I knew you'll stay here so I brought your clothes to change." Jihyo said

"Bye! See you later!" They all bid goodbye before leaving my apartment.

"Jeong." Nayeon called me. I was currently washing the dishes.

"Hmm?"

"I'm sorry." She said. I looked at her and she was just looking down while standing behind me.

"Hey why are you sorry? You didn't do anything wrong." I said and removed the rubber gloves before drying my hands and went to her.

"I know but I'm still sorry. I didn't know you went through all of those." Nayeon said. I made her look at me and smiled.

"It was none of your fault." I said. She pulled me towards the sofa and made me sit down. She sat down on the floor and looked at me like a little kid.

"You told me before no hiding secrets but you didn't even told me that." She pouted. I chuckled at her cuteness.

"I didn't think it was necessary." I said

"Then could you tell me everything now? Why you left me and everything." Nayeon said making me speechless.

"Nay-"

"I'll listen. I'll try to understand. I'm ready to hear it." She said and held my hands while biting her lips. "No more secrets this time hmm?" I just nodded.

"It wasn't my choice leaving you. You know that I love you so much right?" She just nodded. Even now I'm still so inlove with you. "My dad forced me to marry Joy, Park Sooyoung."

"So you're married now?" She asked

"Let me finish first okay? I was so against it. I avoided him and Sooyoung. He didn't know about us, about you. When he found out that you were my girlfriend, he forced me into leaving you and marry Joy. He said if I don't he will hurt you." I said and Nayeon started tearing up. I wiped her tears and held her hands. "Nayeon, you know I can't let him do that to you right? So I had no choice. We went to the states because dad thought that I'll ran away from him, again."

"Why didn't you went back? Why did you stay hidden for years? Jeong it's been 15 years." Nayeon said

"Kyungsoo was partly at fault too. Dad was so favoured with him that he made him achieve his dreams being an artist and me he made me take over the company. That's why I didn't became a chef like what I wanted. I was a coward, I didn't fought for you. Sooyoung was also against the idea but both of us had no choice. We acted we were living together but we really aren't."

"You haven't told me how you found out about Yujin." Nayeon said.

"When I was in a business trip here in Korea, I accidentally bumped into Yujin. Then I saw you call her that time. I was so tempted to go to you but I felt like I don't have the rights to do so." I finished

"Damn I miss you." She stood up and hugged me. I hugged her back. "Sometimes, I thought of staying here. Maybe, this time I could fight for you. This time both of us could achieve our dreams and be happy." Nayeon mumbled while sitting down beside me.

"But Yujin." I said

"I know. I need to go back to my daughter." Nayeon said.

"Wait here, I'll get something." I said. I went to my room and looked for the picture of them in my bag. I got this in my locker yesterday since I was really planning to give this to Nayeon. I went back to the living room.

"Where did you get this?" She asked and a small smile was visible on her.

"Someone gave that to me." I said.

"I hope we could go back to just like before." Nayeon said and looked at me.

"I hope too. But I guess we're better off just friend right?" I said with a chuckle.

"Right friends." Nayeon said with hesitation.

I want you back Nayeon but I'm scared. I'm scared what if I hurt you again. What if I leave you again. It's not just you that's gonna hurt this time.

I sat down beside Nayeon and she instantly intertwined our hands and laid her head on my chest.

"I'll bring you home to Yujin, no matter what." I said playing with her fingers. I'll bring her home to Yujin but I want to stay with her. She's my home and everything.

"What's your plan once we get back?" Nayeon asked

"I don't know." I said. The only thing I know is I'll get you back and love you like I always do. But not right now, it's not yet the right time. Once we're back I'm never leaving them again. Both her and Yujin.
