Once Upon A Time

jihyo

she slowly walks to me. "i'm sorry." i  spoke. i knew it from the start. why did i keep going on? it's hurting me more. i have to but i can't. i love her. too much.

tears keeps flowing down my face. i remained speechless. nothing to say. "jihyo, please. no." she says. i don't know anymore. i'm hurting her. i'm hurting myself.

"jeong, i'm sorry." with that everything seems black. there's nothing to see anymore. everything looks pitch black.

she walks away holding her tears. i know she did. i know so. i would do the same. if it was me.
---------------------

"you should meet her some time." she said with excitement in her voice. i could see she is happy. i should be too.

"i can sense she's a good one from what told me. i want to meet this momo." i said teasing her. she then blushed. she used to be like that for me.

i see. i do want to meet momo. jeongyeon is a fragile person. she's not what you think she is. jeongyeon is easily hurt. i hope this momo would take care of her

"do you still live there, jihyo? i should send you home. it's late already." she said. i nodded. it saddens me. doesn't she really knows. i miss her.

"no, i'll be fine." i said with a smile. "i insist, really." she said. i just nodded and agreed to her to send me home. we were talking bout some stuffs, then she suddenly fell silent.

i realized that we're in front of our house. "uhm, yeah. goodbye. see you tomorrow." she said and smiled. "you should atleast get in first. chaeyoung misses you." i said with head hung low.

"oh. uh, sure." she said and let me lead the way. i opened the gate and saw chaeyoung near the garden.

"uh? jeongyeon unnie? heol." chaeyoung gasped and went to us. "oh my fucking god, you are real!" chaeyoung said poking jeongyeon.

"chaeyoung, the language." i said and she understood. "sorry." she said sadly and changed her mood immediately. she smiled.

"how are you, jeongyeon unnie? i missed you." chaeyoung said that made jeongyeon chuckle. "you are still the same cub. i'm doing fine. how about you? how's highschool? pretty cool, right?" jeongyeon asked.

i just looked at them with a smile. they're bonding again. it's been so long. "we should get inside, it's freezing." i said and pulled the both of them.

"i see. she's still the same, jihyo." i heard jeongyeon mumbled to chaeyoung. we went in and they sat down. "i'll get us food. you two behave." i said and went to the kitchen.

i heard them chuckle as i leave to go to the kitchen. i came back with a tray of foods and them laughing their asses off. i smiled at the view.

"i called you hyung then, right jeongyeon unnie." chaeyoung said while laughing. they're hearts are still close. "you can still call me that. i'm still a girl crush." jeongyeon said and winked.

i feel blushing right now, but no. i approached these laughing kids. "here you go." i said and put the tray on the table.

"what a mom, pfft." jeongyeon mumbled. i hit her head lightly. "stop doing that." she said scratching her nape. i stuck my tongue out too her. "it's your fault." i said still doing it.

she then pat my head and ran. "aigoo, yoo jeongyeon!" i shout with all my might not bothering anyone around. i ran after her and chased her. i caught her ear and pulls her to the living room where chae is laughing.

"jihyo unnie, you still act the way you do to jeongyeon unnie then." chaeyoung said chuckling. right, i used to do that. i blushed.

i slide the thought away. no, not again. not this time. "ah, that really hurts." jeong said with aegyo. nope. always remember your note. jeong and aegyo don't go well together. but why does my heart flutter. no jihyo.

"tch, you should go home. it's really late." i scoffed. chae then checks the time. "right, jihyo unnie. it is late. so, do you mind if jeongyeon unnie stays here for the night. pretty please." chae said with cuteness.

now this goes together. this cute little cub. "alright. but i won't be staying in a room with her." i said with courage and glared at jeongyeon. "who said i would train? no-uh. i'll be with this baby cub." jeong said and put her arms around chae.

i saw chae blushed.now, that's disrespectful. is she now hitting on my sister? "uh, no. she's sleeping with me. sleep on her bed. let's go chae." i said and grabbed her hand. we reached my room and i sighed.

"unnie, we forgot to give her some blankets. i'll get it-" i cut her before she finishes. "nope. i'll be getting it. stay here. that ostrich became a snake." i said and went out of the room.

i went inside chae's room and saw her laying comfortably on the bed silently. "here's the blanket." i said and lay it on the bed. as i walk away to the door, i heard her muttered something.

"i miss you, ji." she said. tears suddenly escapes my eyes. "jeongyeon-ah" that's what i muttered before i fell asleep.

I love you two!
