The One That Got Away

Confession

How could this happen? How can this be? My sister...Marrying the love of my life....

They look so happy. All smiles. All laughs. They're engaged now....I thought I had more time but it seems I'm too late.

They're getting married in a few months & here I am faking a smile, pretending everything will be okay and wishing them the best when deep inside I'm dying slowly, the pain is unbearable. I'm not sure how much longer I can take this....

He was supposed to be mine not hers. How could I let this happen? How could I have been okay with this? Is it because I was so sure about him? That he would be mine if I brought him home?

-Flashback-

"Come in." I smiled. "My parents will home a bit later. We can work on our homework here if you want"

He smiled and nodded. "Yeah sounds good"

I felt butterflies in my stomach. His smile and those dimples. Such perfection.

We walked into the living room and sat on the couch.

He looked around. "Your house is really nice"

"Thank you." I smiled. "Would you like something to drink?"

"Uh, sure. Anything will be fine. Thanks" he smiled at me.

My heart skipped a beat and my knees felt weak. I want to just go to him and kiss him but...we're just friends...he's been my friend since middle school, we're Highschool seniors now.

"Minji, I'm home~"

His eyes lit up and he seemed to be nervous now. My heart sank.

She walked in and smiled. "Namjoon."

"Sunny" he smiled.

His smile was different with her...

-End of flashback-

I'm not as pretty as she is...I'm not as petite figured as her...I'm not as smart as she is...

I'm always living in her shadow. No one acknowledges me as Minji Lee but as Sunny Lee's sister. That's all I am...her sister. Even in school she was so much more popular than I was. She's only 2 years older than me but I never understood why she was always the one everyone idolized.

My friends all adored her. Even him...

Slowly everything came down in ruins, my friends became her friends and my love interest also became hers. She's stolen everything from me...

Now, to top things off, she's going to marry the most important being in my life. The only boy I've ever loved. I loved him as a child and even now that he's a grown man, my love has never changed.

"Minji."

I looked up. "Yes appa?"

"You should smile. This is a joyous occasion. Your sister and Namjoon are engaged." My father smiled and felt such pride.

He was so proud of my sister. But I felt bitter, I hated her for what she did. She knew....

-Flashback-

"Minji, is there someone in school you like?"

"Well...sort of....but I can't tell you."

"It's Namjoon, isn't it?"

My eyes widened. "What?! Eh. N-No. Namjoon and I, w-w-we're-"

"Minji, don't lie to me. I know you like him, it's so obvious. Why haven't you told him?" She asked.
