The three of us were in a very uncomfortable situation. Great looked at us
disgustingly. Worst of all was the disappointed look in his eyes that he sent
me. He cut me in pain. I couldn't run away from this. The truth was the
truth.... I stood in front of him and sighed.
"We're just in love. We are not sick."
"Bitch!"
Great shouted as loudly as a maniac.
"You two are women, what part is not sick? Men are supposed to be with
women. What do you see when you are naked?"
"For Great please. You lose."
"How can I lose if you don't respect the rule? You stab me in the back."
I looked at him angrily. Damn! My brother said I cheated. He always won,
but being told I cheated was too much.
"Great... Please, this is the truth,"
Aoey said coldly. Her tone was so distant, so different from when she spoke
to me before. Her soft eyes crossed her arms and she looked at him with an
empty feeling, no expression, nothing there..
"Do you want me to accept that you are in love with my sister? You are the
one who agreed to be with me. Why did you do this?"
"You can't stop loving. You can't even break up with me. How can you
expect me to stop loving Gen and love you?"
"Why did you go out with me at the beginning?"
"Just to get revenge on Gen,"
Aoey said expressionlessly. Great's eyes were filled with rage.
"Gen said that if I date anyone, it should be you. So I chose you. That's all."
"Please stop, Aoey."
I told Aoey to stop talking. The more he talked, the worse the situation got.
"Okay."
Aoey stopped talking when I told her. That bothered Great even more when
he realized that I was the one in control and he also realized that he was just
a pawn in the game.
"Aoey.... how could you do this to me? You treat me like a dog, even
though I love you more than anything."
"What did I do to deserve your love? We never hold hands. We just talk.
Why do you feel so much for me?"
"Me just like you. Why do I need more reasons?"
"Yes, Gen doesn't have to do anything. I just look at her and I'm crazy."
"Please stop. Why do you keep hurting me?"
Great yelled so loud in the parking lot. I didn't like being the center of
attention, especially something like this. It was embarrassing.
"Please go home, Great. Let's talk at home."
"I'm not going anywhere."
Great turned to Aoey and glared at her.
"I respected you all the time, I never did anything to you but not today, not
anymore."
My brother took a big step towards Aoey slowly. I looked at it and made an
assessment of how I should handle it.
"Great... back away."
"Even if you don't like other people touching you. Today I will do whatever
I want. I think you can touch Gen. I'll do the same so you can get used to
me too."
Great charged towards Aoey as I expected. As soon as my brother touched
her. Aoey screamed as loudly as if she had been hit with a hot iron
immediately he let go of her and took a step back. He must have been
surprised by her scream.
"Aoey.... Aoey, are you okay?"
"Great, you're like my dad. You act like my dad."
My little brother started to get nervous. I quickly ran and hugged her. Aoey
pushed me hard and screamed like crazy.
What was happening to her? What did I have to do?
"Gen, I haven't done anything."
"Go home."
"Gen..."
"I told you to go home."
He walked away nervously when he was told to go home. I pulled her close
to me and let her scream into my shoulder, at least to make the crying
quieter. I hugged her for a while to calm her down.
"I'm Gen, Aoey."
"Dirty...."
Now people began to gather around us. I looked at everyone to get away.
"Move away."
It worked. They all walked backwards, but still turned around to see from
afar. Aoey cried for more than 10 minutes. Her face was full of tears. I
thought she might be dehydrated from this. Once she started to calm down,
I spoke to her calmly.
"It's okay Aoey. I'm here. Let's go home."
"I want to take a bath."
Aoey started to be herself again after not saying anything for a while. Can
you take me upstairs?
"You can walk? Do you want me to take you?"
"Can you?"
"I watched a Korean series. You are small. I should be able to do that. Do
you want to try?"
The soft eyes nodded and felt a little better. I carried her on my back and
walked towards the elevator. I didn't know how she felt at that moment, but
it seemed like she liked riding me like a horse.
"You're so cool now, Gen."
"Carry you on my back? Did you see how people look at us? Some are
laughing."
"Do you care about other people more than me?"
"If I did, I wouldn't carry you. I have never done this to anyone nor let
anyone do this to me. You are the first one.."
"It seems like I'm the first in everything."
I laughed. It was true that she was my first everything. Did I spoil her? But
it felt good to hear it like that. I felt like they were hugging me. I felt
loved...
"You should be proud that no one in this world can do this to me."
I paused before asking,
"It wasn't an accident that Great was there, was it?"
She didn't say anything but that was the clearest answer she could give.
Aoey planned for Great to be there. Otherwise, she wouldn't ask me to have
sex in the parking lot. I figured she wanted Great to know, so we wouldn't
have to explain. She could be crazy sometimes.
"Are you mad at me? Hit me if you want."
"Love makes me be blind and forgive you.."
"You are an imitator. That's my line."
The smaller girl wrapped herself around me so tightly. It seemed to make
her feel better now. She scared me to death.
"Gen, marry me."
"What?!"
I laughed and turned my face towards her which was now resting on my
shoulder. -
"Really?"
"How can I live without you?"
"How did you live then?"
"For me... you are my oxygen, my happy vitamin, my everything. If I don't
have you, I'll die."
"You're a sweet talker."
It felt so good I almost exploded. In recent years, I searched for love like
other people but it was always empty. No man ever fulfilled me. But the
most shocking thing was that a woman, whom I carried on my back,
complied with me. And she became obsessed with me as much as I
became.obsessed with her.
"Let's wait until we both graduate and if we're still together, let's get
married."
"Really?
Her cheerful voice surprised me. Now we were in front of the
condominium. I started to get tired even though she was a little girl.
"Yes, now get off. We are here."
"It's home. It's our home."
The soft eyes wrapped both legs around my waist like a monkey that
refused to come down.
"Let's get married and live just the two of us."
"Very well, you decide."
I only said yes because I knew we couldn't really get married. We could
only be together and live together... I didn't know how my family would
react. Great, he was shocked by what happened. I was wondering how far
he would go with this. My mom could know everything now.
"Why are you so quiet?"
"Oh nothing. Can you get off now? You started to get heavy."
"I will get off but on one condition,"
The soft eyes told me sweetly.
"Give me a shower."
"Oh?"
"This will be another first story of yours. Give me a shower, please,
please.."
She was so sweet. I smiled and sighed.
"Just a shower then, no more than that."
As soon as I said that, the sweet eyes whispered in my ears with her sexy
voice.
"Let's see if you can hold on."
This line again..... I seriously investigated her illness after what happened.
Although I had never done anything like that. I usually asked someone to
do it for me. But I took this matter seriously, contacted people, did my
research and called the doctor for an appointment. Aside from that, I also
had one more appointment.... I crossed my arms, crossed my legs and
looked at the person in front, Tod, who disappeared from me for 3 days.
And now he was back and acting like nothing had happened. How could he
do that? Did she think I would let it go?
"I'm sorry."
Oh!... I didn't expect it.
"What is this? So unexpected."
I tried to act I said even though I had already forgiven him "I was so
unstable then. I reacted too strongly when you said something sensitive. I
just don't want to admit that I was cheated on. It was very embarrassing to
realize that I was cheated on. I am an intelligent person who was deceived."
I looked at him with understanding. She never lost to anyone. It was
unacceptable to be called stupid. It was painful. But she gave up too
quickly..
"I know. I understand. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't angry. But I understand
how you feel, I will forgive you."
"Thank you."
"Is that all you want to talk about?'
"I wanted to apologize from the first day but I didn't want to call you. But
now there is something.. I need to talk with you."
"What is it?"
I took a sip of water..
"Your mom called to ask if you and I are really dating."
"Oh?"
I almost choked on the water. I wanted to act normal, but I was surprised.
Wait, I need to calm down.
"When did she call you?"
"This morning."
My mom seemed to know about me. She had no doubt who told her about
it. Great was always a spoiled child. He knew something would happen but
many days had passed and things seemed calm. I thought Great would get
over this and not make it a big deal. He was still a child anyway. Damn!
Then messages came to my phone.
[Aoey: Gen... your mom is here at the condo..]
[Aoey: I don't know what to do.]
[Aoey: She's playing with the bird now.]
I jumped right away. Tod followed right behind me although he didn't know
what it was.
"What happened?"
"My mom is in my condo."
I panicked.
"She's playing with my talking bird."
"Damn!
