YOU

CHAPTER 5

...

before having dinner Joy was told to keep Sungjae company in the living room, both of them were silent, it was awkward as hell... she wanted to tell him not to speak any word about last Friday when he saw her in the club, but her brother is just a step away cooking for their dinner... afraid that he might overhear her, Sungjae couldn't stop wondering his eyes all over the apartment finally he finds an album, he pulled it out under the table and opens the first page joy immediately pulled it away from him...

"wae?" he whispered...

"don't touch anything!" she whispered back furiously... still remembering him kissing that woman...

"yah! stop talking informally to me!"

"well! Seonsaeng-nim I only respect gentlemen!" he scoffs at her response...

"looks who's talking!!"

"what do you mean!?"

"nothing!!!"

"a...." she was cut off by eukwang...

"SooYoung'a come here and help me set the table..."

"ne!!!" she replied but her eyes still glued on SungJae glaring at him... it was awkward as hell... when joy started to set the plates on the table but she sees SungJae approaching in the dining table

"let me help"

she glared at him pushing his hands away from the table "no just let me do it"

"yes, SungJae'shi just let her do it..." eukwang muttered patting his shoulders so the only thing left to do is watch her set the table...

"oppa I'll head upstairs to change I'll be back in a few" she said leaving SungJae with her brother

"don't mind her she can be rude sometimes and handful but she's the one who's taking care of me instead of me taking care of her... I once admitted in the hospital because of my chronic ulcer... guess who helped me financially...she earns more money than I do... I just hope that one day I'll be that one earning more, I just want her to finish her studies... for now with my salary as a temporary instructor in the university is not enough to compensate everything in this apartment... "

SungJae couldn't stop feeling proud of her... hearing her brother talk about her makes him realize somehow, she's being a whore make sense, she has to earn to live and help her brother...

"life can be hard sometimes, as I mentioned you... the other day, we were orphan since we were kids... our parents died in a car accident... we grew up in the orphanage, because we didn't want to get adopted and get separated..."

Sungjae just nodded in response he can feel the sadness in Eukwang's expression...

"So, let's eat... Wait I'll call SooYoung" Eukwang uttered...

While waiting SungJae scans the things in the apartment he sees pictures both of them with a nun... "That must he where they grew up..." He muttered... Still scanning all over... This apartment is too small... He thought to himself. But maybe he's just used to big houses, condos and mansion. Because his parents are rich... He has his own condo, in the nearby town much bigger than this apartment... But he finds their little apartment very cozy... And very clean... After a few minutes eukwang just came back with joy following him in the back she's frowning...

"Don't mind her" eukwang muttered and laughs...

Joy stomping like a brat, sitting across SungJae and eukwang in the middle...
