the school ended and i promised yieun to wait for her at the school's gate.

for a moment , i was spacing out.

how can i , huang renjun didn't know about jisung and yieun relationship?

yet again , i failed as a friend.

the reason for our big fight was , he start to change.

one day , he start to change , he was mannerless and rude. i'm sick of it , so i decide to cut the tie.

i don't know what happened. i guess after fighting with me , he met yieun.

i don't know how but i'm sure he returned to his real self after meeting yieun.

"sorry that you have to wait for me." yieun said as she arrived , still catching her breath.

"no problem , did you run?" i asked.

"not particularly but i did rush." she said.

"you don't need to do so though , let's go." i said and smiled.

"yieun !" someone called for her , making her turn around.

it's none other than na jaemin.

"o-oh , why?" she said.

"why are you with him?" he asked.

"hm , renjun and i need to settle the assignment." she said.

i cleared my throat.

"well , if you don't like i come to your house , then yieun can come with me." i said.

"wait what? no. okay sure just come to my house. go to our house not his house , got it? i need to go somewhere." jaemin said and go away.

"wow , he seem nice today." i said.

she giggled.

"from what i know , he always have a soft heart but he acts cold." yieun said.

"speak for yourself , you do the same too." i said.

"haha did i?" she asked awkwardly.

so we both walk together.

i glance at her a few times , it made me realised how pretty she is. she's not even smiling but she's so beautiful. i mesmerised by her beauty. she looks unreal , no wonder she's jaemin's twin. how can people hating on her ? i can't understand.

my heart races everytime our eyes met and we'll giggled awkwardly if we did.

after the whole awkward walk , we finally arrived at the na's house.

they're..rich. their house is so big.

"you and jaemin live comfortably for sure." i said.

"not really." she said.

"why not?" i asked.

"we might be comfortable but we're not that happy , our parents aren't always at home." she said and i nodded.

"that's why i feel that i have to make up with jaemin , because lately i feel lonely. i miss him honestly." she added

"yeah sure.."

yeah , she is jaemin's twin. she can't forever hating on him.

"let's get in." she said as she unlock the gate.

i nodded.

we both walked in , the garden is beautiful.

"your house is beautiful." i said.

"ah really?" she said and rub her nape.

i smiled and nodded.

we entered the house. there's family portrait on the wall. their parents sitting on the chair meanwhile the twins standing at the back , this makes me really believe they're twins for sure. i can see the resemblance.

yieun smiling brightly in the picture and so jaemin. the most genuine smile i ever seen on him.

"i'll get some book upstairs for reference." she said.

"no , no i will go , just tell me where. i think you need to get some water , you seem tired." i said.

"oh really? okay then , my room is on the left side from the stairs and the books supposedly on the table. i'll go for some water then. thanks renjun." she said and i nodded.

i went upstairs and go to her room. as i opened the door , i'm flabbergasted as her room is so tidy and clean. her room is in soft blue colour with the wallpaper with tiny flowers printed on it.

she keep her room cozy and simple , she's not exaggerating with the decorations , she only have a cat stuffed toy on her bed. i walked to her table. there's a stack of books of history. that's what we need. she probably have prepared this yesterday.

i take the books and my eyes glued on a picture in the frame.

it's jisung and her.

she still in love. yes , she surely is.

i immediately get downstairs after i brushed my thoughts away.

"did you find it? are you okay with plain water?" yieun asked.

"of course yes." i said and nodded.

i put the books on the table and drink the water that she served.

"i can't believe that the teacher actually pair us together." i said.

"right ? i think that unbelievable too , honestly after you stepped on my shoelace , i've seen your face everywhere." she said and laughed.

"i feel the same too. anyway , you should be careful though , you can fall anytime with you shoelace untied." i said.

"yeah sure." she said.

"let's get started shall we?" i asked.

"yes." she said.

i arrived at my destination. the cemetery.

i walked to his grave.

i put the white flower on his grave.

"rest well , jisung." i said.

i plucked the dead grass around his grave.

"you know what , yieun ended our cold war and of course , i'm happy about that."

"you curious about jiyeon ? sorry but i don't know what happened to her."

"one thing keep getting on my nerve. renjun is getting along with yieun and it bothers me. i still hate him jisung."

"i'm so sorry that i separate you with yieun , i only do that because i love yieun , but i don't know you will leave us this fast , jisung."

"i haven't apologize to you yet , but i hope accept my apology. i don't have any courage to tell yieun about the truth because i know it will hurt her even more."

without i realising , i cried.

i really feel sorry for what have happened.

if only i didn't interfere.

if only.

if i didn't interfere , jisung and yieun would be happy together now.

renjun and i wouldn't be an enemy instead we maybe be a good friends.

and it might happen if i didn't fall for jiyeon.

if only jiyeon didn't exist in my life.
