My Annoying Brother

26

26.

Joshua, I can't accept this because I want to breakup with you.

Joshua's smile disappeared from his face. I feel so bad. The way his faces color changed it stinged in my heart. Not as a lover, but as an admirer. I admire him. I like him. But that doesn't change the fact that I don't love him. Joshua only replied with an okay. He didn't ask me why. Maybe because he already knows why. I can totally feel the sad and disappointed look on his face. He put the box in his pocket again.

"So, do you want to go back, or do you want to hang out a little longer?"

I shall go back now. I'm sorry.

"Then I should walk you to your house. A gentleman should do that," as he said that he smiled forcefully. But I still think that instead of lying to him and giving him fake happiness, telling him the truth so he can find someone is way better.

I've been meaning to tell you for a long time, but I didn't know how to say it. You know that I was adopted by my current family and my real brother is Vernon. Since after knowing all of this I've been feeling different.

"It's normal. You must've been so shocked. If this is the reason you want to break up with me then why don't you take a break? Maybe then we can be together like before?"

I've been feeling different towards Lee Chan.

"Lee Chan? Like what?"

I'm also not sure. I found out that Lee Chan likes me.

Joshua stopped walking. He looked at me all confused. Of course.

Don't ask more. I-I-I think I like him too.

Joshua started to walk again, "If you ever need my help about anything, feel free to ask. Don't hesitate at all."

I smiled at him. As we reached to my house, I gave him a hug. It felt like he didn't want to let go. But in the end, he did. After Joshua left, I got inside. Telling Joshua the truth, felt like a heavy burden got off of my chest. Now, I only have one more thing to do. I run upstairs. Normally I always knock at the door before entering someone else's room. But today I didn't. I went straight into the room. Lee Chan just got out of the bathroom with only a towel wrapped around his waist and another towel in his hand wiping his head. He got surprised as I barged into his room like that. So, he covered his chest with his hands and shouted, "Why are you here?"

I need to confirm something.

"What?"

I don't let him speak anymore. I jump at him and kiss him.

...

So, in the end, after becoming legally adults, I got my name registered under my real family. Vernon and I could finally live together as siblings. Lee Chan and I dated for a year. Our family had approved our relationship, but Vernon couldn't accept him. But as time passed my brother gave priority to my happiness and finally accepted Lee Chan. Lee Chan and I got married. And got two beautiful daughters, Lee Da Eun and Lee Ha Eun as blessing. I couldn't be happier. I hope this happiness will be everlasting.
