Fake Love [Completed]

37 | Butterfly

"Where's Joy?" 14 year old Jin asked Chanyeol as they sat on a bench one Sunday afternoon while enjoying their ice creams.

"Why? Why are you asking about my sister?" Chanyeol asked, narrowing eyes at his best friend. "Why are you always asking for her?"

Jin looked at him, flustered. "What do you mean? Can't I ask about Joy?" he asked and Chanyeol sighed.

"Ya I know you like my sister. It's obvious." He threw his cone in a nearby dustbin. "She's at Yeri's. Mom is going to pick her up tonight," he told Jin.

Jin gulped, nervously. "Aren't you mad at me?" he asked, scratching the back of his head. "You know about Joy..."

"Why would I be?" Chanyeol grinned. "You're my best friend and I trust you with my sister," he said.

"So you promise to allow me to date her once we grow old?" Jin asked, hopefully and Chanyeol nodded.

"I promise."

But on the same night, that unfortunate accident happened. Mrs Park was murdered in cold blood with perfect planning and Jin's father got framed in the case. Everything turned into ashes, even the friendship between two best friends.

"My father did not do anything." Jin held Chanyeol's hands in a desperate attempt to make his friend stay. "I assure you he did not kill your mother."

"Mother is gone," Chanyeol kept murmuring as tears poured down his cheeks. "What am I supposed to do with Joy now? What do I tell her Jin?" he asked, panicked.

"I'm here. I'll always be here." Jin hugged his friend tightly but someone grabbed Chanyeol's elbow and pulled him away from Jin.

"Haraboji!" Chanyeol looked at his grandfather teary eyed. "Mom is gone.. she's gone," he sobbed and the old man kneeled down.

"Do you know who did that? Who took your mother away from you?" the old man pressed and then gestured towards a scared Jin. "Him. His family. They took away your mother."
