Hyunsuk's POV
"Come on Hyunsuk, you've been saying that for years already. Besides it's my wedding, you can't just not go into my wedding"

Hyunsuk is on a call with one of his close friends way back in highschool -Junkyu who's clearly annoyed at him.

"Can't I really just sent my gifts? It's really cranch time in here" I said and he just scoffs "how many times did you used that on me?"

"It's not an excuse. I'm really telling the truth." I lied and of course he knew I was lying. I can't fucking lie for the love of god. I really don't know why.

"Hyunsuk. This is the best day of my life, you can't just not attend the wedding. It's like 2 years in the making." He whined once more and I stop my sketching and look at him dead in the eye "Kyu. I-. I'm."

"Just stop with the excuses Hyunsuk. I know you misses us, and well I know who you misses the most. But the whole group is coming together for my wedding. Just give this to me okay?"

I heaved a breath. It's been years since I last saw them. I guess the last time was at the graduation party? It's all a blur now. It's been what 5-6 years?

It was such a messy night. I remember anger, crying, yelling. Every little thing about that party is something I don't want to remember anymore.

"Hey Hyunsuk, you there?"

Clearing my head for a bit I looked at the tablet again, there I saw a very happy Junkyu. He's one of my best buds before I have met him. Junkyu's been by my side ever since. And the guy hired a private investigator just to have some contact with me after a year or two of me walking out on them.

"I'll see to it Kyu. But I don't want to make any promises." I said at last and that made his grin bigger, if it's more possible.

"That's great! I'll make you my man of honour" he excitedly gush out but I put a hand to stop the excited man "no thank you. I would be there for you and your Fiance but only in the ceremony."

"Hah- are you finally crazy being alone there for so many years? Besides don't be a big baby."

"Kyu. You know what happened that night right? You're sober as well." I remind him and he sat down. "You know what, we actually haven't talk about that night for years now." He says and I just nodded "it's cause there's nothing to talk about"

"Clearly there is, just look at you being miserable without him" he points at me and I scoffed "me? I look terrible. Please bitch can't you see me"

"You look good physically, but your eyes lost their sparkles if you asked me" he sassed back "well thank god, I ain't asking" I retorded.

"You really didn't talk to him after that?"

Crossing my arms on my chest "no." I replied
"Both of you are so confusing you know."
"That's why we didn't work"
"No, that's because the two of you are fools"
"Just shut up. Besides it's been years already. We're far to gone now"

"Cause you chose to"

"Enough Kyu. I'm tired. I need to go home"
"I thought you're home?" Junkyu asked scrutinizing where am I. I chuckled "I told you I'm often down at my office that's why I have my own space in here. I do go home once in awhile, and I guess this is awhile. I'm leaving so gonna end the call there. Bye"

"Don't forget to update me"

"Yes, yes. I know" and I finally ended our call. I look at my clock and quickly fixed my stuffs. The little ones would be so angry that I'm going home late.

--------------------------------
"Babieees where are you??" I called out as I open our front door and see that my twins are watching something on the T.V.

"Hey there" I greeted as they quickly run up to me leaving whatever they're doing. Each wanted to reach to me first as they call out "Dada!"
"Dada!!"

Quickly wrapping them both in my arms I gave them feather kisses in which they both chuckled "Gosh dada.. stoop stop please hehehe" "Dada, you're 30 minutes late."
I let them down, my twins- first is Jihyun my very charismatic boy, he's kind of strict mostly on his sister well and of course me but he's a real charmer. Quite a smart kid if I say so myself. The other one is Hyunji my baby girl. A sweet and cheerful lass.

At this age, I never even thought that I would have a pair of five years old. But never regretted the day I knew I have them growing inside of me.

This is also one of the reason why I don't take Kyu's phonecall at home. No one knows.

Except my sister- who wanted to surprise me here but I together with the twins accidentally saw her at the airport.

Of course I was greatly, greatly scolded by her. She cried herself to sleep that night. Regretting that she weren't able to help when life was hard for me. She kept on blaming herself since she didn't notice that there's anything "wrong" with me. I told her of course she wouldn't know, she just entered highschool when I was finishing college. I told her that it's all fine and all that but she kept on whining telling me to tell our parents.

I know it's bad for me to hide them. Of course but I can't even speak about what happened to me and him without tearing up. I can't. I just.

It's been years now, and I was able to find my own path and have the twins. I can say that we don't really need him. I don't need anymore reminders of what happened that night.

"Dada you okay?" Blinking my eyes to refocus my mind. I could see the twins, eyes reflecting with worry and I nod and smile towards them.
"Of course, it's just work piled up for a bit. You know Dada has a collection coming up for a few months right?" They both nodded and we started to walk to the kitchen
"Nanny Ally and the others gave us dinner already Dada, you also have yours too" Hyunji mentioned "I ate at the office earlier sweetie" I smiled at his caring words.

"You really need to eat a lot more Dada, you're forgetting to eat when you're too hyper focused on your task." Jihyun reminded me

"Love, you forgot to eat again. Here, I grab some food on the way here. Let's eat first before finishing your designs"

Looking at Jihyun, he's an exact replica of him. He hasn't even met him yet, but there's no denying that he's his child. While Hyunji looks a lot like me. Except that both of them have heart shaped mole on their right cheeks.

"Anyways, how's school?" I asked as I get a glass of orange juice.
"It's fine"
"I had a lot of fun as usual."

"That's good to hear, do you want me to tuck you into your beds?" The twins nodded and that's what I did. After they fell asleep I cleaned their room for a bit and went to my own room as well.

Years and years but his presence still has large effects on me. Am I really never gonna get over you Ji?

Or is it because I chose not to.
