IM with YOO

24

"Dad, I want to talk about something." JeongYeon said taking her seat across him.

"What is it?"

"You asked about my future plans, right?" She asked. He nodded smiling putting the newspaper on the table.

"I have planned it."

"Good. What is it?"

"I love someone and I'm willing to marry that person."

"What? You're not joking, right? You're not my JeongYeon."

"Dad, I'm serious." She said giving him a serious look. He cleared his throat and nodded.

"I'm just waiting for her response then we will talk further about it."

"Her? A girl?" He asked. JeongYeon nodded in response.

"Who is she? I see my both kids have found their love now."

"Hyung got a girl?" JeongYeon asked in surprise.

"Yeah, last night we talked about it. He said he is planning to ask the girl out and confess to her."

"That's so great. Who is she?" JeongYeon asked excitedly.

"You know her. Our neighbour, Siwon's mother." He said making JeongYeon's jaw dropped on the floor.

"NaYeon?" She asked getting up. He nodded startled by her reaction.

"How is this possible? I love her. How can Hyung confess to her?" JeongYeon asked bursting out.

"What happened?" Her mother came out from the kitchen hearing the noise.

"Mom, I love NaYeon but he said that Hyung likes her too."

"You love NaYeon?" They both asked. JeongYeon nodded.

"I think you have a misunderstanding. Hyung doesn't like NaYeon, right?" JeongYeon said convincing them.

"Seung Ho...come down stairs." Her father shouted from the living room.

After a moment of waiting, Seung Ho came downstairs. He was confused looking at their faces. He nodded asking the matter and looked at JeongYeon.

"You did something?" He asked JeongYeon.

"Do you like NaYeon?" His father asked.

"Dad?" He was surprised with his question. He was hiding his blush.

"Do you like NaYeon or not?" He asked again.

"I like her. Why?" He asked and JeongYeon sighed facepalming.

JeongYeon looked at her brother for a moment and something crossed her mind. 'I won't steal your girl.' JeongYeon had promised her brother that she will not steal any girl he will get in future and now she knew that she was doomed.

"See that? Now you both decide what you guys want to do." Mr Yoo said.

"What I need to decide?" Seung Ho asked in confusion.

"Nothing. Thank you for telling me that you like her." JeongYeon said looking down.

"I want good for you both because you both are my kids but, in this situation, I don't know what to do. I hope you'll understand it JeongYeon. I'm not taking anyone's side. I just want you both to clear this mess together and decide who deserve her." Mr Yoo said.

"What are you talking about dad?" Seung Ho asked still confused.

"I won't do anything dad. I won't come in his way." JeongYeon said and sighed ruffling her hair.
