With You?

Chapter 21

We sat at the table. Me in between Taehyun and Jongin. Jinwoo next to Taehyun. Jungmi next to Jinwoo and Jiyong between Jungmi and Jongin. 

Only my brother was eating comfortably. My hands shook as I held my bowl and chopsticks in front of me. Jungmi stared at me through the tense air. 

Stop shaking! It's too visible.

 I read her facial expression. Apparently, we can read each other's mind. Just kidding. We just have some kind of telepathy, or something. 

I placed my bowl down. I set my chopsticks down. I gave my brother glare before excusing myself. He followed me to my room. 

"Oppa, you should have told me before you invited Jongin over." I said through my clenched teeth. 

"Well, you brought Taehyun over. Jungmi brought Jinwoo over." He snapped quietly. 

"Jungmi always bring Jinwoo over. taehyun was just walking me home." I glared at him. 

"What's the big deal about him here anyway?"

"Taehyun rejected Jongin for me!" I said in a low whisper. 

"Yea, so?"

"I haven't talked to either of them for two years. How can you expect me to have dinner with them and say, 'Oh, we are friends again. After all the problem we have been through', and smile at them. A fake one." I scoffed. 

"Well, sorry." He crossed his arm over the other. He stuck out his bottom lips into a pout. 

"Oppa, stop acting like that. You're not a kid anymore." I whined at his action. He didn't answer me but he stared deep into my eyes.

"You really need a girlfriend." I sighed. He smiled happily, knowing I forgave him. 

"But if this happens again, I'll kick you out."

"But this is my house."

"I don't care." 

We left my room feeling much better but the tensity of the room seem to has rose. 

"So, Taehyun, how long have you known my sister?" Jiyong asked. 

"For about 3 years." He answered precisely. 

"Mmhmm..." Jiyong answered while stuffing rice in his mouth. 

"Jongin, why didn't you talk to Hyejin for the last two years?" My brother asked. 

Aish....this oppa. I wanted to stuff the bowl of rice down his throat. Everyone's eyes secretly turned towards Jongin. 

"We just didn't have that much time. And I was really busy." He lied. Jiyong chewed the inside of his cheeks. 

I'm pretty sure he knows I will kill him. Doesn't matter if he's older. 

"Taehyun, I heard you have written songs about your ex-girlfriend. What kind of person is she?" Jiyong tried to change the subject but it's even worse than the one before.

I felt him stiffen through the air. I saw him fiddle with his fingers slightly. 

"Oh, uh, she isn't like any other ordinary person. She was special to me. But she, uh, isn't with me anymore. Or it's what I am guessing. I regret letting her go. " He answered. I felt heat rose to my cheeks. Luckily, my hair was covering it. 

Jungmi smirked at me. Jinwoo's lips were itching to become a smile. While Jongin's face was dark. Jiyong had an impressed face on. 

"Well, you should have kept her." Jiyong advised.
