Pinky Promise?

"hi, thank you for helping my Grandpa. You are?"

I don't know what's with my heart, creating crazy beats but at the same time it's stabbing. I could feel a lump in my throat as a sharp thing keeps poking my heart. He couldn't recognize me. I couldn't say a word to Him, I was full of letters I hadn't sent Him.

"Umm hello?" He spoke again making me come back to reality. I missed His voice, Why is my heart telling me that this is Him? and while my mind is telling me otherwise.

"H-hi" I stuttered. "I'm Hee, Heeseung" I said initiating a hand shake. With trembling hands, He took and shake it.

"I'm Jaz" He smiled. Jaz? He wasn't Jake, That's enough answer to my questions right? This isn't Jake. They were right, I was just missing Him so much.

He took his hand back and diverted His attention to the old man who's been smiling at us.

"We should really buy a new door so that you can enter without having to use your strength Gran-gran"  He pouted saying that to His Grandpa. He looks and acts exactly like Jake.

"Ahh don't bother, I'm still strong look" The old said showing off his jelly muscles. Jaz giggled.

"Ah I'm sorry Son for keeping you waiting" Grandpa turned to me and back at his grandson. "He invited me for coffee, are you close today? where's Uno?"

"Ah Uno has errands to do but don't worry he'll be here in about ten minutes Gran-gran" He smiled assuring the elder.

I just can't help but to think about Jake again. I don't know what's more tragic. Finding out this is a complete stranger or that i keep looking for you wherever i go or is it that you are not here anymore.

"Hee?" My ears twitched hearing him. I missed him calling me by my name. "Yes?"

"Would you like to join us for a coffee? I'll make some" He smiled offering me. I knew this is wrong. I'm cheating, I'm falling in love again. Is this because he looks like Jake or is it because He is Jake. No no no, You had enough hee. Stop this. Decline His offer and walk away. You had your answers.

"Sure"

Sitting across Grandpa while wandering my eyes in every corner of his place.

"So tell me about yourself young man" My attention got caught with that question. I look to my side and stared at Jaz busy with making our coffee.

"Ahh. My name is Lee Heeseung—" I got interrupted.  "What? You are that Young Tycoon businessman Attorney right?" Grandpa asked.

"Yes" I became confused as His smile grew. "Nice to meet you Attorney" He shook my hands nonstop. I was confuse and so i turned my head to Jaz. He was already staring, smiling at us.

"I'm sorry He's your biggest fan" Jaz apologize and puts our coffee down. My gaze was only following Him as for Him He steals glances too.

"Ahh it's okay hahaha" I giggled. "I always see you in news papers" the elder added.

"Gran maybe just be gentle in shaking his hands, it may fall off" Jaz said eyeing from my hand to wrist was wobbling because of the constant shaking. I giggled once again.

"He's always excited when you would appear on news and all" Jaz explained. He settled sitting across me, he's sitting with his Grandpa. I can't believe we are talking right now.

"It's okay, I adore Grandpa so much" I said. As Jaz sips his coffee "Jaz this is the man i told you about getting married with" That statement made Jaz choke, resulting for him to spat a bit of his coffee. I smiled. Clumsy.

"Gran-gran! why would you say that" He looked at me with an apologetic face, tapping his grandpa.

"What? is it bad that i want someone well for my beloved Grandson?" I chuckled. "It's not bad Gran but Mr. Lee might have someone. We should respect that right?" he explained.

How could i tell him that i do have someone, Someone who died years ago. Someone i suspected to be him. How do i look away now that i have seen you?

"I'm sorry for my Grandpa's fanboying" Jaz apologized.  I smiled.  "It's okay, actually i appreciate His kindness and Adornment towards a stranger like me"

"Oh rubbish. You aren't a stranger. You are very well known young man" He said. "My Grandson here is also well known. He is a supermodel" I watch Jaz stirring his coffee, only listening to his Grandpa's preaching. A smile forms in his lips but he's trying to hide it.

"Gran-gran you don't have to tell him that, that may bother him. I'm sorry again" He bowed at me as he scolds his Grandpa again.

"It's fine Jaz. I'm interested in everything your Grandpa is telling me, Don't worry" I smiled warmly.

The past beats inside me like a second heart. How terrible it is to love something that death can touch.

jaz pov.

My heart trembled talking to Him. I don't know why His words had a big impact in me. It's like my heart is warming again. My heart is beating again. He wasn't mine and I wasn't His but He was so good at making me feel like we belonged to each other.

I could only stare at my coffee. My cheeks are warming, Am i blushing? No, it's the smoke of the coffee hitting my face. I bit my lower lip to swallow this feeling. What was happening?

The bell rang again. I looked up and saw Uno entering the cafè. My gaze followed Him as His cold eyes soften upon seeing me.

"Heyyy Dibs" Uno approached me and hugged me, kissing my head. "Gran-gran you are here?" He made his way to Grandpa and also hugged him.
"and.." He stopped at Hee.

"Jeo this is Lee Heeseung, the youngest businessman tycoon Attorney. The one Gran-gran idolize?" I introduced him to the latter who's gaze became cold. That bothered me.

"Hey man, nice to meet you" Jeo shook Heeseungs hand and smiled.

"Where have you been? Why did you let Jaz be lonely here?" Gran-gran scolded Uno.

"I just took care of something Gran-gran" He explained. "Ah ah ah no excuses, you should've brought him with you" Jeo could only scratch his neck. I chuckled.

"Gran i was the one who insisted to be left here okay? stop scolding Jeo and besides, We have a guest here remember?" I added eyeing Hee who was only silent.

"Ahhh dont worry about me, Actually I'll be leaving. I have a meeting" He smiled as he stood up wiping his mouth with a napkin gently. He bowed as we also did.

"Thank you for your time Son, Comeback here anytime okay?" Gran-gran bid as Heeseung smiled warmly, adoring my Grandpa.

I waved at him and he waved back at me.
oh shit i think i'm having a crush.
