2nd Chances // Park Jihoon FF

"I hope you guys enjoyed your food." Jaehwan hyung smiled before paying the bill.

'So much for 'treating' my family today'. I groaned to myself. Not to be a bitch, but I do appreciate his kindness for today's meal. I mean, to be honest, I would have taken my family somewhere else to eat as I cant really afford the food he treated us but, I prefer simplicity.

Sounds like an excuse, huh

"Will you be going now?" My dad asked.

"Sadly. I have to take care of things" he smiled.

"Take care, thankyou all for your time. I had a great time." He smiled and bowed to all of us.

"Take care Seoyoon. I'll see you around" he warmly said and gave me a cute smile.

"Take care and thankyou for today" To be honest, the lunch wasnt all that bad. I did get to know a lot about him and well, he seemed to know more about me than I know myself.

He told me stories about how we were before. About how close we were and that every weekend, the both of us would have a 'cousin' date. It sounded so much fun, the way he talked about the adventures we had. I wanted it to happen, but I couldnt just put myself together at the moment so I dont think this would be the right time. I mean, it could happen again right ? I believe things takes time and by the time I adjust to everything, maybe just maybe things would go the way it used to. There's so much more things I need to know, the whole truth of who Kim Seoyoon is. There's a lot of people who was shocked at my existence, I cant just let it slide. I need to know who I was before.

Jihoon's POV

"Hyung ! Stop cheating !" I screamed as Daniel Hyung tried to slap the controller away from my hand to prevent me from winning. Fortunately, I still won.

"Unfair!" He pouted.

"Not ! You're the who cheated" I argued.

"Yah yah yah. What's going on here?" A familiar voice, voiced out across the room.

"Oh, its you, Finally. I almost forgot you and I had a plan" I said rolling my eyes but greeted him with our handshake anyway.

"Awe come on. You know you cant be mad at me" he winked.

We both waved goodbye to Daniel, Seongwu and Jisung Hyung before exiting the door, heading towards Jaehwan Hyung's car.

"Where to ?" I asked.

"Usual spot?"

"Dont mind"

With that, he finally drove off to the place him and I first met.

To be honest, Jaehwan hyung was the first male friend I have ever had. The guys that I have as a friend now, it was all because of my twin. He introduced me to them, otherwise, I wouldnt have been friends with them. And the reason to why I met Jaehwan hyung, was because of Seoyoon. Seoyoon was his cousin. That's why I never had the guts to get mad at Jaehwan hyung for that specific reason.

After a few minutes drive, we finally arrived Han river. The place where we usually clear our minds whenever we're stressed from work. We've had plenty of bro-dates in this place. No homo, mind you.

"So mind explaining why you're late?" I finally blurted out.

"I went out with Mr.Kim" he plainly answered.

"You mean Mr.Kim Byunghoon?"

"Yes. Seoyoon's dad" he smiled.

My heart began beating rapidly as soon I heared Seoyoon's name. I still didnt wanna believe that the girl I saw was Seoyoon. I kept arguing to myself that there must be an explaination to all of this. Come to think about it, how can she just show up 2 years after everything ? If she has been working in my dad's hotel the whole time, Why didnt faith ever let us meet eachother atleast once ? There's just so much questions that needs to be answered. There's a lot of what if's that could lead to a possible chance that maybe, she isnt Seoyoon afterall.

A duplicate maybe ? An imposter, if possible.

"What h-happened?" I nervously asked.

Maybe now is the time to get my answers if she really is Seoyoon. Minhyun Hyung could lie too or He could've been decieved.

"She was there."

"Is it really her?" I asked, sounding totally nervous yet, expectant.

"She really is your Seoyoon"

'Oh', was the only thing I could say. Different emotions started to take over me. For a split second, I hesitated on whether I should react in a way to express my happiness, or resentments or fear.

Happy because she isnt gone and that she's alive but resentful of the those who didnt tell me the truth and left me anguished for 2 years, and lastly, fearful, of the possibility of losing her for the second time. What I mean by that is, she could always learn to fall inlove with someone else knowing that she doesnt remember the feelings she once had for me. The fear of making another stupid mistake. The fear of hurting her again.

"And she really doesnt remember anything. Not you, not me, woojin or Minhyun. She doesnt remember anything about the past."

Just as I thought.

"But im not gonna stop you if you want to try again Jihoon-ah" he weakly smiled.

"What if I end up failing?" I frowned.

"You'll never really know. Honestly, this is a very cruel second chance."

It is hyung, it really is a cruel second chance. A chance that does not have any assurance on being a second chance. An open chance to for her to become some else's..and not mine. A terrifying chance.

"How is she like?" I smiled asking.

I wanted to know what she's like now. If she's still the same old Seoyoon or a completely changed person. I would love to see it for myself, but I guess for now, Asking is my only option.

"Well, she isnt completely a whole new person. But there are some difference" he simply replied.

Ofcourse there has to be some changes.

"She's still the same old Seoyoon. Who loves her family more than ever, who loves to laugh and play around, loves to eat." As Jaehwan hyung described Seoyoon, A smile kept creeping on my lips as I imagined her being the same old Seoyoon as she has always been.

"But the difference is, she's awkward and uncomfortable around me now. Also, she's closer to Guan Lin. I guess that's the only thing I can't get used to" he said, frowning.

I completely understood his feelings. Back then, the two of them were inseperable. They were more like brothers and sisters. They loved to tease around eachother and be around eachother. She was even closer to Jaehwan hyung rather than her step brother. To be honest she was never close to Guan Lin. They talked from time to time but comparing her relationship with Jaehwan hyung, there was a huge difference. I could tell from him, that he was envious of Guan Lin because he too, longed for Seoyoon for 2 years. In addition to that, he was also betrayed. See? At the end of the day its really just the two of us till the end.

"Do you think it'll be easy for me?" I asked, hopeful.

"You have to be fast. that's all I have to say" he stated.

Fast ? On what ?

"Her father did mention that Seoyoon is starting to become closer to one of her Co-worker"

Just what I fear of. The image of her being with someon else. It shatters my heart to even hear that shes starting to get attached to someone else.

"I'll try starting tomorrow. I cant lose her again, hyung"
