My Love... by My Side [COMPLETED]

13: Truth

"What's with the attire? Are you dating behind my back? Who's the evil trying to snatch you away from me?" Taylor questions Rae, annoyingly.

"Don't overreact, boy, or I'm gonna ground you so you can't meet Cole," Rae teases her brother.

"I don't care much about him, and please do ground me... I really want to skip school right now!" Rae points her brush at Taylor, signaling that she might hit him if he continues to talk nonsense.

"Just because you have to go for prep class this summer, you suddenly feel lazy to study! I want you to focus so you can have a nice, wonderful future ahead. Soon, you're gonna get your degree, have a good job, and start a family," Taylor takes the hairbrush from Rae and gently brushes her hair.

"Don't make me feel selfish, sister! Heaven will punish me. All I want is for you to be happy," he says as he looks at her.

"You know, I am happy when I see you like this, all dolled up... wearing the best dress... living your life. There's nothing that makes me happier than this," he cups her chin, lifting her face to fix her makeup a bit.

Rae looks at Taylor. When did he grow up, mature like this? She can't believe it's been almost five years since they started living together again. She left him when he was just a little boy, and now he's grown into a real man. Her protector, her savior, her world. Taylor means a lot to her.

"So, who is this evil man?" she giggles as Taylor slips back into being a jealous brother.

"No one special, just the homeowner where I work as a maid this week. Since today is my last day, he invited me for dinner. A farewell dinner. Nothing much, just food," Rae explains. She grabs her bag and heads out to the living room.

"I hope it's just food, nothing else. If he tries to pull any stupid moves, just punch him in the face!" Taylor makes a big fist with his fingers. Rae laughs and assures him that everything will be fine.

"Don't worry, bro... I've got a nose that senses any douchebag miles away!" Rae says as she reaches her bike. She waves at Taylor, leaving the hanok with a smile on her face.

Please, God, let her find true love tonight!! Taylor closes his eyes and prays sincerely.

-------------------------

She went to the apartment, following the instructions she received from the cue card that morning, instead of a letter as usual.

"RECIPE FOR FLAN?"

That's the clue. She instantly knew she needed to look for the next clue in the kitchen. She went straight to the baking cabinet and found another rose gold cue card.

"BLACKEST ROOM EVER!"

She rushes to his room, but it's locked. Then she finds another cue card slipped under the floor. She takes the card.

"NICE VIEW EVER..."

She smiles and heads straight to the balcony. She admits this is the place with the best view ever. And, there's a cue card hanging at the flower pot rack.

"CARNATION + SPARKLE..."

The vase in the living room. She rushes to the living room and finds a cue card waiting for her under the crystal vase. She takes the card and reads it.

"CLOSE YOUR EYES AND COUNT TO TEN..."

Sounds eerie!

She turns around, but there's no one there. She's torn in two. Should she follow the instruction or not? She plays with the card for a while when she sees another writing at the back of the card.
