Amaranthine Love

"Nishimura Riki!" I call his name out loud, when he is ignoring me.

"Why, Miryeong! Do you have problem with me?" He shout back at me.

I walk closer to him, as close as I can.

"I like you, dummy!" With that, I confessed my feeling towards him.

"What? Are you insane, Shin Miryeong?"

"No, I am not insane yet, Riki."

I inhale my breathe before continue my sentence.

"I, am crazy, but you know what is crazier? The thought of you, rejecting me. I know, right now you're going to reject me, and I don't expect you accept me anyway. But, my heart is going to explode, everytime you walk pass by me, everytime you talk to me, everytime you smile at me and everytime our eyes meet, you're making me such a mess. Riki, I like you, so much." I confess everything I felt for him. Not a single thing, is left.

"You're crazy. I don't like you, Miryeong-ssi." He left me there, with embarassment.

I know that I shouldn't confess at all, but at this point there is no use anymore. I just did it, out of my own will.

.

"Miryeong, are you okay?"

He is my one and only guy who cares about me. My stepbrother from different father, Park Sunghoon.

"I'm okay, Sunghoon." We call each other by name because I cringed everytime he want me to call him 'Oppa'.

Sunghoon is the same age as me. We are Irish twins, where Sunghoon was born in January 2 and I was born in December 27. And suprisingly, our personality is also nearly the same because we are both Capricorn.

We are both emotional, and human pleaser. Always be the one who cares about others, but no one care about us.

"Sunghoon, what happen to your relationship with Wonyoung?" Wonyoung is my brother's crush since forever.

Yesterday, we both decide to confess to our crush. Me with Nishimura Riki, and Sunghoon with Wonyoung.

"Same as usual, she reject me, Miryeong."

I pat his head, to calm him down. It's so sad to be human pleaser. Always please other, but no one want to please us.

"Sunghoon, let's be a bad guy." That wild idea just come out from my mind.

I think, if I can be human pleaser, I can also be a bad guy, who didn't care about others feeling.

"Are you really that dumb, Miryeong?"

"Why am I suddenly dumb?"

"You forgot what mommy said before she left us?"

I remember back what our mom said.

She said, even in our hardest time, don't even try to be a bad person. Not even once.

Mommy is a good woman, taking care of us, till her last breath. But both of our dad, is really bad to us. They, don't even try to take care of mommy.

"She said that for a reason, Miryeong."

Yes, she did. She didn't want us to be like our father. A person who abandon mommy, and left us. But, more importantly, she didn't want our life to be hard, that she always remind us to be good to others.

I don't quite understand about that, but I guess I just listen to what mommy said.
