Part 8- Friends?

Everything stopped.

"Brother...?" i asked, making sure i heard right.

"Yes. How do you know him? Did you guys met before?" he asked me, and when i was about to answer...

"Ms. Jung and Mr. Kim, continue your talking later." our teacher commanded and we both followed immediately.

AFTER CLASSES~

I was walking out of the school with Yuna when i suddenly heard my name.

"Ms. Jung! Wait!" someone shouted. I turned around and realized that it was Taekwon.

"Hi. Do you need something?" i asked politely.

"You didn't answer my question." he stated as he rubbed his nape. I was confused at first but eventually got what he was saying.

"Oh, that. Well, he used to study at this school, before he moved to the US." i stated calmly.

"Oh that's why...." he mumbled as he lowered his head.

"Wait, if you're his brother, how come i didn't knew you before? Taehyung didn't mention you to me for, like, ever." i was a little confused.

"I was in the US that time he was here in Seoul. And when i finally got my fathers permission to go back here, i thought i would be seeing Taehyung again after 5 years, but when i got here, he wasn't here anymore." he said and even though i can't see his face, i can tell that he's trying not to cry.

"I'm...sorry." i felt really sad for him. He misses his brother. But how come Taehyung didn't tell me that he has a brother?

"Thank you. If you don't mind...could we be friends?" he asked and stretched his arm forward for me to shake. I smiled and gladly shook his hand.

"I'm Mina. No need to call my by my surname." he smiled brightly at me. His smile. So much like Taehyung. By Taekwon's presence, i almost forgot about Yuna's existence.

"I'm Kwon Yuna." she said brightly as she shook her hands with Taekwon. Again, he smiled.

"Funny, your surname sounds like my name." he laughed softly which caused Yuna to blushed hard. Wait- Did i just witnessed my bestfriend blush because of a.....boy?! I looked at Yuna with a we-need-to-talk-later look. She awkwardly smiled at me when she got what i was addressing through my eyes.

"Uhh... Should we walk you home?" Yuna asked him.

"Oh, well, if it's okay then-" Yuna cut off Taekwon.

"It's really fine. Now, let's get going!" she said excitedly. She tugged my arm and Taekwon's arm and started to hop like a kid who's gonna go to Disney Land. I squeezed her arm, signalling her that we need to talk about something. She returned a squeeze and smiled at me.

"Hey Taekwon, how old are you?" Yuna asked him.

"I'm 16. And you?"

"15." Yuna replied while smiling widely and creepily. Taekwon looked at me.

"I'm also 15." i answered and smiled. The whole walking was silent, except for Yuna. She kept telling stories about her, about Taehyung, and also about useless things. I bet she likes Taekwon. The thought made me smile. Finally, someone can give her a nickname, like Taehyung gave mine- Taehyung.... I miss him. Yuna and Taekwon kept talking, while i remained silent, missing Taehyung.

"Bye Yuna and Mina. I had a great time." i heard Taekwon's voice which snapped me out of my thoughts.

"What? Oh, yeah. Me too. Byeee!!" i said as i dragged Yuna with me before she could even escape.

"Bye." Taekwon said as he closed the door. I dragged Yuna with me until we reached her house.

"Yuna, be honest, do you like Taekwon?" i asked her with a serious tone. I can see that she was hesitant.

"Ugh.... Fine. Yes, i like him. A lot. You happy now?" she frowned which made me squeal and jump out if happiness.

"Finally, my baby is grown woman!!!" i shouted, but not loud enough to disturb the neighbors.

"Yah! So i like him, what's the matter?" she was blushing hard while pretending to be upset.

"Aish... Come here." i hugged her and she hugged me back.

"You should confess to him." i said and she panicked.

"What? Well- I- I don't really- Haha... You're funny." she stuttered which caused me to laugh, hard.

"Yah, not funny." but i continue to laugh at her.

"Aish! Fine! Tomorrow, after dismissal, at the school gate. Okay?" she stated and i stopped laughing.

"Okay. Promise?" i held out my pinky finger.

"Promise." she said as she wrapped her pinky with mine. With that, we bid each other goodbye and went on our separate ways.

I don't know why, but i just couldn't stop thinking about Taehyung when i see Taekwon. They are very identical. Does it really have to be this hard to move on? Especially when you see something, or someone who reminds you of that person. Not only that, you're going to be reminded of him every single day because you're going to see that person everyday. Sucks to move on. Why does life wants me to suffer this much? I guess that's what you get if you love too much. This is why i don't let people enter my life so easily. Because i get too attached. And when the time comes that they need to leave, i wouldn't be able to let go. I miss him. I miss Taehyung. I miss us.

NEXT MORNING~

Same as always, we, three, walked to school. Studied, ate, laughed, and had fun. But the most awaited event for this day is when Yuna is finally going to confess to someone. We are now on the school gate, waiting for Taekwon. As if on cue, i heard a voice which made me smile.

"Yow Yuna! Mina!" Taekwon shouted as he ran up to us.

"Took you long enough." i said as the guy before me rubbed his nape.

"Oh yeah, i forgot to do something. You guys go ahead, don't wait for me. Byeee!" i said as i lightly pushed them away. Yuna blushed, so as Taekwon, wait- They both blushed when i pushed them and they accidentally bumped into each other. Now their faces are close as heck.

"Have fun walking home!" i bid a goodbye to them and ran to the nearest coffee shop. Close enough for a 5 minutes run. This is going to be fun. If y'all are asking why i ran away, it's because i want them to have privacy. I don't want to see Yuna embarrassed infront of me and Taekwon. I just hope that this goes well.

TAEKWON'S POV~

I believe my face is beet red right now. When Mina pushed me and Yuna, we bumped into one another and the distance between us shortened. Which makes our faces inches away from each other. It's like the scene was in slow motion. When Yuna twirled, her hair bounced cutely as well, landing evenly on her shoulders. She's beautiful. I feel so stupid to realize it just now. We stayed there for a minute, looking into each others wide eyes. Until she broke the silence.

"Well, looks like we're alone." she said as she leaned away from me.

"Yeah." we started to walk. It was silent. Not until she decided to break it.

"Uhm... Taekwon, i have something to say." obviously, she was hesitant which made her extra cute. Her cheeks tinted pink, so as her lips. Her lips. I wonder what it'll feel like if they were connected with mine. I mentally slapped myself. You perv! How can you think of that right now!

"Go ahead." i said as i waited for her to gather her words and form them into a sentence.

"Taekwon.... I like you."
