Second Life

Chapter 4 - Make It Up

"Oppa...."

"Wae?"

"Just make up with them." Mira said

"It's not time for me yet..." Gary answered.

"Why? All seven of you are family, right?" she asked.

"I think of them as my family, but did Jong Kook-hyung ever consider how I felt? He even admitted it arrogantly... He knew how much I love Ji-Hyo, but he chose to love her and hurt me... He didn't even tell me that he likes her... If only he told me that he likes her, then I can move on! But HE BETRAYED ME! HE MADE ME LOOK LIKE AN IDIOT IN FRONT OF EVERYTHING! So do I have to make it up so fast?!" Gary asked back with his emotions.

"Ya! You had erased your bad memories with them, right?" she asked as he nodded.

"Then why can't you do that to them now?" she continued.

"Do you think it's easy?" he asked.

"It took me 3 years to suffer because of my love for Ji-Hyo... She had hurt me for THREE YEARS!!!!! Now, do you think it is?" he continued as she became speechless.

"You're right..." she said.

"How about you after erasing your pain, did you make it up to your first love?" he asked.

"I didn't do it... He doesn't even know how much I liked him..." she answered.

"Ahhhhhhh...." he mumbled.

"I'm sorry...." she said.

"No I'm sorry... I'm sorry because of my emotions... I'll try to make up with them, okay?" he said.

"Okay!!" she answered.

Later on, they went to Gary's apartment's carpark... As they came, they looked sleepy, so they fell asleep in the car.

***

Next morning, they woke up as they screamed for knowing that they slept together. Mira's face looked so puffy while Gary's face looked the same...

"Mira-ya, you looked so cute..." Gary teased her with as he grinned.

"YAAAAHHHH!!!! HOW COULD YOU!?!!?!!" Mira scream like a crazy as Gary laughed.

"You looked so pretty." he's still teasing her as she slapped his shoulder lightly as he laughed again.

"By the way, I'll go home, oh?" he said as she nodded.

As Gary went outside the car, a car came, and it's Jong Kook. Of course, Gary stopped walking as he saw Jong Kook... As Jong Kook walked towards him, Gary was about to leave, but he grabbed his wrist.

"Can we talk?" Jong Kook asked.

"There's nothing to talk about, right?" Gary answered coldly.

"Gary-ya, don't be like this!" Jong Kook said.

"Wae? Why shouldn't I? You told me once that I can't control your feelings, right? So why shouldn't I look like this to you as of now? Can't I? Tell me! Can't I do this?" Gary said with his anger voice.

"We're sorry for hurting you! Kwang Soo was right, that I'm so self-centered... Because of me being self-centered, I didn't even think that it will hurt my brother's feelings..." Jong Kook said.

"Brother? So you even think of me as your brother after making me suffer and hurt? Are you two thinking that I'm an easy-going person? After betraying and hurting me, you'll want me to talk to you? When I let go to Ji-Hyo, why did I receive a punch from you? It's because I hurt her? Just stop making excuses for me to believe you then you'll make me suffer again!" Gary answered as his anger voice is still there.

"Do you want to know what do Ji-Hyo really feel?" Jong Kook asked.

"I don't have to... I don't care about her anymore..." Gary said coldly.

"She liked you!" Jong Kook said.

"You told me about that yesterday, so stop making excuses." Gary said as he doesn't care about those things.

"She really liked you... The reason why she can't love you back is because she thinks of you as her oppa, not as a man since you thought of her first before others, that's why.... That's why when you let her go with me, she had hurt a lot.... The reason why she chose me over you to try loving a man as her boyfriend to me...." Jong Kook explained the whole thing about why Ji Hyo can't love Gary back as a man.

"Okay.... Even though I figured it out, still, I don't care about those anymore... I had moved on... So I'll start to live happily from now on... I'll forgive the two of you... But if you try to make me suffer again, then I won't think of you two as my siblings anymore, okay?" Gary said.

"Thank you and I'm sorry." Jong Kook said.

"I only exposed my whole feelings that I hid for a long time to you... You made me feel this... But it's all now clear.... I hope you to be happy with her... Just love her until lifetime... Even though she dies, be loyal to her... Nobody will steal her from you anymore... You're now free... And I'm now free to like someone... Let's live our life happily, oh?" Gary honestly said.

"Araseo!!! Thank you!!! I deserved to hear those words from you." Jong Kook said.

"It's good that you know about it..." Gary said as they laughed and hugged to each other.

As they hugged, Mira came out in her car that made them broke the hug.

"Gary-oppa!" Mira called as she pretended that she wasn't there earlier.

"Oh Mira-ya!" Gary answered.

"It's been a long time! What brings you here?" Mira continued to pretend as she met Gary for a long time that they didn't meet.

"Mira? Shin Mira?" Jong Kook asked.

"Yes, she's my longtime friend." Gary answered.

"Since when?" Jong Kook asked.

"Since high school..." Gary answered.

"Jong Kook-oppa?" Mira said.

"Oh Mira-ya! It's been a long time!" Jong Kook greeted her.

"What are you doing here?" Jong Kook asked.

"I came here to see Gary-oppa... We hadn't seen to each other for many years because of my busy schedule." Mira continued to act as she didn't meet Gary before.

"Ahhh..." Jong Kook mumbled with his sudden disappointment face.

"Gary-oppa, let's go!" Mira said as she linked her arms to Gary.

"Jong Kook-hyung, will you join us?" Gary asked.

"Aniyo, I'm in a hurry.. I'm meeting someone else in 20 minutes.... Just enjoy, oh?" Jong Kook said as he left the scene with his disappointed look.

PS: Why did he look like that after seeing Mira with Gary? Is it because he failed for making them suffer? Or that his first love is Mira?
