PERSONA

Chapter 18

Guan Lin and I  arrived home. I went straight to my room. I thought about it for a while and realised it's not my usual behaviour. Like I have never felt love before so am I able to love someone?

My childhood, well let's just say it's messed up. It’s not that I cannot be in love but after being betrayed multiple times, maybe a lot of times, when I was young, I think I just avoided many people.

Start Flashback:

"You don't deserve to play with him. Someone so similar to that whore is you. Have I said it a lot of times? You don't deserve happiness,"he said as he pulled her hair.

She cried over and over. Shouting in pain. However, the man did not stop. She tried telling others but they ignore. Some were too afraid to stand up along with her. Some just did not care. Only a single boy was there.

Yes, she got hurt because of the boy. Nonetheless, the boy is her happiness, her friend and her will to endure all of the pain.

I laughed as I smiled at my final memory of revenge.

A/n:pls take note is another memory.

End of flashback:

Ji Hyun pov

I woke up sitting on the bed. My mind then turned to the file and my father's picture.

Mr Kim opened my room door after knocking saying that I have to learn with him. We then moved to the study room.

"As you can see there are lots of people competing for your spot,"he said as he explained all details on them.

"Mr Kim, can I know what happened to my father?" I asked out of curiosity.

"Well, we had a company party. Well the first half of the party was great before he fell down on the stairs," he replied as he dropped his head.

I was about to comment on it before a maid came.

"Sir Park's wife has arrived from Shanghai,"  she said to Mr Kim.

"Oh Jin Hyun, let's meet your grandmother," Mr Kim said.

I followed him out and we both arrived near the office. In front of us stood an old lady. She still stood straight. Despite her grey hair, she looked younger and healthier. Mr Kim greeted her and I followed soon after, my head bowed.

"Ah Ji Hyun. I have transferred your name into the family register. You're now Park Ji Hyun, so behave like one," she said.

Her eyes kind-of glaring at me? No She definitely is. Well let's say her eyes are intimidating. I nodded to her and she entered the office.

'He fell down the stairs'

I wondered if someone did it or if it was an accident. Putting the thought behind me, I went to go find Guan Lin. Guan Lin's door was slightly ajar. Rap music was coming out from the room. A deep husky voice following the rap. I opened it bigger to see Guan Lin lying on his stomach on top of the bed doing his homework.

"Guan Lin! If you are not busy, why not have a talk with me?" I asked.

He smiled and paused his music before nodding and I went to sit on a chair tucked at his study table.

"Tell me about your recent memory," he asked.

I talked about my memory after finding my father's picture.

Guan Lin pov

I listened to her quietly as she talked about her memory. Something hit me as a memory of my own hit me. I forget about my childhood. The memory of it vanished. Grandfather said it was because of a head injury.

I was 5 at that time.

"What's your name?" a man asked in Chinese.

"Guan Lin"

"Guan Lin, your going to stay with me from now on,"

I know I'm adopted through my grandfather at the age of 15. They said that my parents were found dead and my adoptive father was a close friend of theirs.

I was 6 this time

"What is your wish, Dad?"

I asked as we walked through the market, holding hands.

"Mine? It was to have freedom,"

"What is freedom?"

I asked as he looked through the vegetables.

"It's means to be free,"

"Free from what Dad?"

"You will understand when you grow,"

He said as he smiled and shook my hair.

(A/n: I changed the year he was in Taiwan to 7 years)

I was 7 this round

"Mom, I'm home!" he said as he covered me with his body.

"My son! What took you so long to come home,"

"Mom, I want to show you-"

"Welcome back husband,"

A woman said, a girl around my age stood in front of the woman.

"Who is that?"

My adoptive father asked.

"It's your daughter. Min Ju got a child when you left to Taiwan,"

"Mom, I never touch her since we got married,"

"Don't be mean to her, she went through the pregnancy alone,"

My adoptive father just pushed past her dragging me along.

"Guan Lin, are you okay?"

"How can I not recognize your name?" I blurted out as my face grew pale.

Chapter epilogue

Guan Lin pov

We sat at the Ferris wheel. I looked at Jin Hyun. She was looking out the side of the cabin, lost in her thoughts. I admire her face.The beautiful skin and the same lips that Bin Hyun kissed me with. I was surprised that Bin Hyun actually kissed me just now. Her lips felt very soft and it perfectly fit mine.

I got confused as I do not know who I fell for Ji Hyun or Bin Hyun but I love both of them. They are almost the same. I feel a connection with both of them. My heart tells me that I've seen them before but my mind doesn't remember.

I got tapped on the shoulder by the man controlling the Ferris wheel.
