Save Me

Save Me (Part One)

Jihyo took 2 days off upon her sister's arrival from Seoul. There was unspeakable silence between the two when Jihyo picked Jeongyeon's up at the airport. They have been into a similar situation a few times before and Jihyo knows better not to jump for questions straight away. Jeongyeon's face was enough to tell that the blonde was having a difficult times back home. Jeongyeon didn't utter a word instead as soon as she sees Jihyo, the younger girl was engulfed by her sister dearly and Jeongyeon cried on her shoulder. "Come on let's go home." Was all Jihyo could uttered and Jeongyeon just nodded, calmly walking side by side with her sister linking their arm together. The drive to Jihyo's house was quiet. Too quiet to Jihyo's liking since she's always bickering with the older girl whenever they met four eyes which, she missed that. "Did you eat anything in the flight?" Jihyo tried to lighten up the air but Jeongyeon still remain silent. Just shaking her head as a sign that she haven't had anything consumed. "Wanna grab chipotle rice on our way home? I know you love them." Jihyo tried again to cheer her sister up with the mentioned of Jeongyeon's go-to food whenever she's in the State but Jeongyeon again, shook her head no. Jihyo just sighed. When the two girls arrived at Jihyo's apartment, Jeongyeon didn't show any emotion on her face while scanning the living room. Jihyo patted the empty space beside her on the couch wanting Jeongyeon to take a seat. Jihyo had no idea what to do with the dead air between them and when she was about to get up and head to the kitchen, Jeongyeon reached for Jihyo's arm, making the girl to flop down into the couch where she sat before. Jeongyeon encircled Jihyo's arm and rest her head on her sister's shoulder. "Unnie. Tell me what's up. Did you had a fight with dad again? What did he do this time? Don't tell me he asked you to date a guy." Jihyo trying to joke and it finally worked when she hears Jeongyeon chuckled softly. "No silly. Dad wouldn't do that. It has nothing to do with him anyway." Jeongyeon replied. "Okay hold that thought since you've found your mood to talk. I'm going to make the guest bedroom for awhile and probably cook some dinner. We'll talk later over some good food and some drinks." Jeongyeon snorted hearing the word 'good food' from her sister. "I'm a great cook Yoo Jeongyeon!" Jihyo shouted from inside the guest bedroom and Jeongyeon can't help but laugh.

"So she's married? You're certain?" Jihyo questioned her sister. "I'm not blind Hyo. I know what I saw and besides, Momo was there too. I want to stop thinking about it but the image of her with a guy plus with a pair of twins keep on replaying in my head. Why do I have to commit myself to a woman that I just met? She even said she likes me and I bought that! God. I thought this only happens in movies." Jeongyeon huffed in frustration. "But you like her too? It's not unrequited love. The feelings mutual right?" Jihyo scrunched her forehead. "It may be early to decide and confessed that you both has feelings for each other but that doesn't mean what you felt wasn't real." Jeongyeon didn't want to buy that but Jihyo has a point. "It doesn't matter now, she has a husband and kids. I should just back off and move on. It feels like I was stabbed right in the heart with a thousand of swords all at once even though I never felt that and I cannot do anything about it. Even the thoughts of moving on suffocated the hell out of me." Jeongyeon's voice was soft. Jihyo can see that her sister was trying to hold back her tears. "You don't have to hold back your tears unnie. If that will make you feel better, then let it out. I won't judge. Never will. You don't have to be tough around me all the time." Jihyo said in all seriousness. Do you how you'll ended up bawling your eyes out when people asked you not to cry? Well, in Jeongyeon's case it is the other way around. This time, her sister asked her to cry but she didn't. "I've had enough crying. I'll go blind if I cry myself out again." Jeongyeon wiped the threatening tears that pooling in her eyes. Jihyo laughed at that. "Don't say that. I don't want to take over dad's company if you went blind." Jeongyeon faking a gasp looking towards Jihyo's direction, acting in shocked. "You seriously thinking about not wanting to work with dad instead of worrying me going blind? You're the worst sister Hyo." Jihyo can't hold herself back and laughed wholeheartedly. Jeongyeon slapped her sister's arm. "Cause I know you would never go blind of crying! You never cried over some girl before. The last time I saw you cried was 4 years ago when our dog died. You're the ugliest crier I've ever seen in my life I swear to god. Aren't a pretty face usually have an angelic looking face as well when they cry? But why not you though?" Jihyo continue to tease her sister and Jeongyeon was not having it. "What the hell yah Park Jihyo! I'm your sister! Apologize now or else I'm going to knock your head." Jeongyeon gestured a head lock sign but Jihyo only sticked her tongue out mocking her sister. The two ended up clawing each other's face until both of them called it a truce.
