Seventeen Family

|| Nineteen ||

Jihoon's POV

   "SO SORRY I'M LATE!!" The boy said.

   "It's okay." The teacher acknowledged. "You must be Son Soonyoung."

   "Yup." He was so cheerful and smiley. Like Soonyoung.

   The whole class was staring at him now. Soonyoung noticed this but didn't let it phase him and just kept smiling.

   "You're a transfer student, am I correct? Please introduce yourself to the class." The teacher articulated.

   "Oh, yeah, sure." Soonyoung faced the class. "Hi, I'm Son Soonyoung. I'll always try to be happy. Please take care of me."

   "Take a seat anywhere." The teacher told Soonyoung and he walked over to an empty desk on the opposite side of the room. "May I ask why you were late?"

   "Um, my family and I just moved here from America and there was a flight delay."

   "Welcome to Korea then." The teacher smiled.

   Wait, if him and his family just moved here from America, it can't be Soonyoung. Wait. No. Soonyoung is gone, so it really can't be him. But he looks so much like him. An older version of him, but still looks exactly like him. But it can't be....

   After class I couldn't help myself, what if it was him? I saw Soonyoung leave the classroom and I ran after him. I caught him at the front doors of the school and hugged him from behind.

   "Soonyoung." I sniffed.

   "Excuse me. I don't really think that's appropriate." He said pushing me off. "I mean we haven't even met before."

   "W-What?" I stuttered. "But it's m-me, Jihoon."

   "Nice to meet you, Jihoon." He smiled. "I'm Soonyoung. But you already know that because we were jut in the same class."

   "R-Right." I wiped my eyes. "I'm sorry. I mistook you for someone else."

   "That's okay." He smiled then a car pulled up in front of the school. "I gotta go, my moms are here. It was nice meeting you, I guess I'll see you tomorrow."

   He went to the car where two gorgeous women were waiting and car seats in the back. They each gave him a hug before getting back in their car and driving away.

   "Who was that?" Minghao came up beside me. The rest of my brothers were now standing next to me.

   "He was a transfer student from America." I said.

   "Why did you go and hug him like that?" Jisoo asked.

   "Hm?" I hummed.

   "We watched all that from down the hall." Vernon added in.

   "I just thought that maybe it was Soonyoung." I mumbled.

   "Hyung, look, you're going to become like mom." Seungkwan warned.

   "Guys, I can't take it okay?" I finally broke. "I've been trying to move on for six years! Six freaking years! And I still can't forget him! I loved Soonyoung. You guys know that! I'm trying to move on but there are just way to many things that remind me of him. You'd think that after this long it would affect me so much, but it still does. I still love him and I always will. I can't move on."

   Tears poured out of my eyes and I ran out of the school. I saw mom and dad drive to the front of the school but I just ran past them.

   "Jihoon!" Dad called out.

   I ran faster and made my way to the cemetery.

   When I got to the cemetery I dropped at Soonyoung's grave catching my breath.

   "Hi, hyung." I I said when I finally regained my breath. "I'm back and school is over."

   I looked at the large tombstone as if I was waiting for an answer.

   "There was someone who looked like you. He transferred here from America and apparently he's in all my classes." I added. "Funny thing is he has the same name as you, just a different last name. He reminds me a lot of you."

   My phone was buzzing. I took out my phone and saw text message after text message from my family wondering where I was. Mom and dad texted me about how thy need to know where I am because they don't want the same thing that happened to Soonyoung to happen to me. Honestly, I'd be alright with that because then I'd be together with Soonyoung once again.

   I put my phone back in my pocket.

   "I wish it was me who died instead of you. I miss you a lot." I sobbed. "A girl asked me out today too, but I told her I was taken because I promised myself that I'd never look at anyone else because of you hyung. It's been six years and I've never forgotten you for even one moment. I hope your happy now that you're in a better place. I'll see you later."

   "Jihoon!" I heard mom yell. I stood up and turned around to see mom running out of the van where the rest of my family was sitting in.

   "Mom.."

   "Never do that again!!" He scolded and squeezed me in a hug.

   "Sorry."

   "I can't imagine losing you too."

   I nodded.

   "Come on," mom noted and leading me to the van. "We're going home."

I just posted about five chapters in one night because since I'm on vacation, I have time. But when school comes around I won't be able to write even though I would really rather do that than do homework and stuff. Anyway, I'm trying to do as much as possible and maybe even complete this story by the end of next week.
Thanks for reading!!
