Chapter 2

You woke up with swollen eyes.

Damn, I really cried hard last night. 

A soft knock interrupted your thoughts. You quickly hid under your covers.

"Hey Jiyeon..." it was your brother. You didn't want to answer.

"Yah, I'm talking to you, I know you're awake." He shook you.

"Fine, what do you want?" you groaned but you still didn't reveal yourself.

"Are you ok?" He asked.

"I am," You simply said.

"Yah, let me see your face." He tried to uncover you.

"Why though?" You asked, struggling to pull your covers back.

"I want to see if, you're telling the---" He managed to uncover you. You tried to cover your face. He didn't say anything.

"I know, I look uglier aren't I?" You confessed and uncovered your face. You felt embarrassed though.

"Don't tell eomma and appa please?" You said looking down.

Daniel suddenly pulled you into a hug which surprised you. You hugged him back.

"Tell me, is something bothering you?" He asked, catching you off-guard.

"Don't worry, nothing is bothering me." You lied between your teeth.

"Then why do you...look like that?" He asked.

"Oppa, I didn't forget something, did I?" You asked, he became confused.

"What do you mean?" He asked.

"Nothing..." You mumbled.

"Yah, tell me." He broke the hug.

"Don't worry, it's nothing, really." You shook your head.

"Jiyeon, I'm your brother. We grew up together, I know you and I know when you're hiding something." He crossed his arm.

You refused to say anything.

"Fine...but please tell me immediately if anything bothers you, alright?" He said as patted your head softly and affectionately.

"Ok," You simply said.

"Fix yourself and don't come down looking like that, I got you covered." He said as he smiled at you.

You quickly hugged him and he let out a hearty laugh.

"Thanks, oppa," You broke the hug. After he left, your mind immediately flew somewhere else.

"There's no way I forgot something or missing something..." You began.

"Then what was that?" You asked yourself.

"And why was I wearing a hanbok?" You questioned again.

"And who are they?" You asked yourself again. There are lots of questions in your mind.

And you just kept on asking those to yourself, as if the answers were within you.

"Why was I crying?" You asked.

"Why was I so broken?" You frowned as confusion took over your mind.

Why am I talking to myself?

You let out a dry laugh.

I'm going crazy.

You ruffled your hair in frustration. You were stressed.
