Truly Love You

Knowing Your Past

“Yuri…I’m glad you’re here. Do you came to see me?” Siwon sit next to her trying to put his hand on Yuri’s shoulder but a hand blocked it.

“Hyung, she’s not here for you.” Minho now pulled his brother away from Yuri.

“Don’t tell me, she’s here for you?” Siwon stand up facing Minho. Yuri don’t know what to do. She’s afraid that the two brothers will fight because of her.

“She’s here for me…” Seohyun yelled running towards them.

“Yuri unnie, let’s go to my room. Just ignore them.” Seohyun grabbed Yuri’s hand and take her to her room. Yuri is speechless about what happened.

+++++++

“Seohyun, I don’t see your parents, ever since? Where are they? Yuri is curious to know about Seohyun’s parents. She is curious about the family of Minho.

“Our parents? They’re gone unnie.” Seohyun paused for a while. “They died 8 years ago, when I was only 4 years old…” She explained to Yuri.

“Oh, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have asked.” Yuri felt guilty for asking regarding that matter.

“It’s okay unnie. We used to it. Since then, we’re under grandma’s care. Minho oppa is always there for me.” Seohyun said but she can see the longing in her eyes to have parents on her side.

Yuri hugged Seohyun. “You can treat me as your sister. As long as I can, I’m willing to help you. Okay?”

Seohyun nod, “Thanks unnie.”

Yuri then remembered her conversation with Minho before. Now she fully understood why he acted that way.

+++++++

“Hey! Why are you reacting that way?” Siwon grabbed Minho’s collar.

“Hyung, let go of my shirt.” Minho pushed away his brother’s hands.

“I told you before that you shouldn't bother me in everything I do.”

“Hyung, please. Don’t ever do to Yuri what you did to other girls before. She’s different.” Minho is protecting their family’s reputation. He is protecting Yuri from harm.

“Why are you doing this? Do you like her?” Minho didn’t answer. “Do you like Yuri? Tell me.” Siwon asked once again.

“If I said yes, will you stop pestering her?” Minho said to stop his brother from doing something that will harm Yuri.

“Really?” Siwon smiled with sarcasm.

“You’re inlove now bro. Of course, I’m your hyung, I will let her go.” Siwon touched Minho’s hair.

“Stop that hyung.”

“If you had said it before, I won’t do that to her. Minho is in love with Yuri.” Siwon left his brother whistling. Minho didn’t mean to say that to his brother. But something in his heart, jumping in joy for what he did.

+++++++

“Minho oppa, please bring Yuri unnie home.” Seohyun faced Yuri after talking to her brother.

“Thank you very much Yuri unnie for your help. Until next time.” Seohyun hugged her.

“No problem. If you need my help, you can ask me.”

“Just promise me to be excellent in your studies. Okay?” she added.

“Promise unnie, I will be the best student.”

Yuri smiled on what she heard but became conscious when she saw Minho, looking at her.

+++++++

Minho and Yuri walked together.

“Thank you for helping my sister.” Minho turned his head to Yuri’s side.

“It’s okay. She is like a sister to me. She is easy to be with.” She said immediately. “By the way, Minho, sorry for what happened to your parents. Now I know why you reacted before.” Minho stopped and sat at the bench near the bus stop. Yuri followed him and sat beside him.

“They died 8 years ago, in a car accident. It’s hard for us to live without our parents on our side but I know God has a purpose for all these things.” Yuri is speechless after listening to Minho’s story. She wanted to hug him but she can’t.

“You don’t have to say sorry, Yuri. It’s not your fault. I’m just a little jealous in your family. And thank you for your understanding.” Minho just smile after his confession to Yuri.

“You are more handsome when you smile.” Yuri said but Minho seems didn’t hear what she is saying.

“What? Are you saying something?”

“Nothing…” she answered immediately. “Can we start all over again? I am Kwon Yuri.” Extending her hand to Minho.

“I am Minho…Choi Minho. So, friends?” Shaking Yuri’s hand.

“Friends…” They smiled and shook their hands as if it was their first meeting.
