Chapter 7
Ga Eul looked around inside the F3 lounge, hoping to see a certain person but as time passes he didn't showed off. She was standing in front of the entrance. She was holding a bag of two bento boxes. She looked down at her watch and saw that it was still school hours so he couldn't have left.
A minute past, then two…then ten more.
She reached for her phone and began to dial his number. It went straight to voice mail.
She sighed and glanced around again. "Where could he be…?" She said worryingly. Her arms were beginning to ache from holding onto the bag.
She shook the pain off and realized that he's not coming. She started to move when Ji hoo appeared. He glanced at her and smiled softly.
"He's not here…he went home earlier."
"Oh….thanks Oppa…I will leave then…so goodbye." She bowed goodbye and began to leave. Her eyes were a giveaway to Ji Hoo. They were a hint of red from incoming tears. She was disappointed. She was hoping to eat with him.
Ji Hoo watched her as she disappeared from his sight. He sighed, thinking his friend is an idiot.

A figure was sitting in the dark room at the corner of his bed. He was thinking over the information over and over again. It repeated in his head as if there was nothing else on his mind.
What was the truth? He wondered over and over. Why was this kept from him? Why was there an aunt he never knew about?
Woo Bin tried to think back when he was little but nothing came up. He doesn't remember anything past the age of five.
He reached for his phone and phoned someone. "Hello?" The person answered.
"It's me…can we talk?"
The person paused before quickly answering. "What the matter?"
"There's something I need to confirm with you so hyung can we meet?"
"Okay…I'll be there in ten minutes…"
"No, don't come to the house….lets meet at the café you liked before." Woo Bin immediately responded.
"Okay, see you then." The person hung up afterward. Woo Bin grabbed his jacket and departed from his room.
He ran downstairs where he spotted his aunt talking on the phone. She didn't notice Woo Bin and continued on with her conversation.
"You need to get the job done fast….father is getting better by the minute and starting to gain strength. You promised me that the moment he's out…then all the power will go to me, Manager Lee."
Woo Bin looked at her with disbelief. He couldn't believe it. His aunt was conspiring against his grandfather. His eyes were red with hurt and betrayal. He moved quickly, not letting her know he was ever there.

Yi Jeong grabbed his helmet from the motorcycle and began to put it on his head. He kicked the petal and started it. He drove out but when he discovered Ga Eul, he stopped right there and opened the shade away from his eyes. He looked at her.
She was walking toward a black sedan where another person was waiting for her.
That must be her sister. He thought.
Jaekyung hugged Ga eul as they walked to the car. They linked arms. Yi jeong's eyes only were staring at Ga eul. His eyes widen toward Ga eul's hand. Ga eul was holding the same bag from before. The lunch boxes that was going to a certain person as Jan Di stated to him as he asked who it belongs to. Ga eul wouldn't confess who but that didn't stop Jan Di from hinting it.
Yi jeong showed a depressed and disappointed face. It was only that afternoon when he discovered that Ga eul like someone. Yi Jeong doesn't know why he care if she like someone. It wasn't like he likes her.
It was a mystery to know how Yi jeong truly feels. He was the type that always closed himself up when he was around others.
He looked away and drove off, not wanting to care.

Jaekyung looked at Ga eul with great care. She kept glancing over to Ga eul as she pretended to read her magazine. Her curiosity was killing her. She lightly tapped her fingers against the magazine.
Ga Eul was doing her homework in the kitchen as her sister was on the couch. Ga Eul could feel her sister's eyes on her but she chose to ignore it and continued with her homework.
After ten minutes, Jae Kyung walked up to Ga eul and wanted to say something but she stopped herself and moved to the fridge and grabbed a juice box. She poked the hole with a straw and began to slurp loudly to get Ga eul's attention.
She peeked to see if it had any effect but Ga eul didn't move an inch from her position and her eyes were focused on her pre-cal book.
She sighed in defeated and slouched on the kitchen stool. Ga eul put down her pen and got up from her chair. She glanced at her sister, wondering what was going on then decided that it must have something to do with Joon Pyo Oppa.
"Unni…?" She lightly touched Jae Kyung sleeve. Jae Kyung moved her eyes toward Ga eul.
"Hmm?" She replied.
"You don't have to worry about the engagement with Joon Pyo Oppa…."
Jae Kyung looked at Ga eul with confusion. "What…" Then it hit her. Ga eul must think I am still upset about the engagement…well of course I am still upset in a way…but not in a way she thinks I am.
"Oh…that's…" she began to utter, not knowing what to say next. "You see….I…."
"Unni, its okay you don't have to explain. I know."
Jae Kyung's eyes widen. "Know what?" Her voice was shaken as she muttered.
"I know." She responded.
Jae Kyung couldn't look at her sister. Did she really know her secret? Jae Kyung studied her sister's facial expression. If she truly knows her secret, then she wouldn't be able to stand the sight of Jae Kyung. Not when her big sister's secret is the fact that she is in love with Song Woo Bin since she was a kid.
"Ga eul…I don't know what to say….I"
"Unni you don't have to say anything…..I know you like Ji Hoo Oppa."
Jae Kyung was about to defend herself, telling Ga eul that her feelings for Woo bin is nothing to her little sister happiness. But then the utter of Ji hoo's name froze her.
"….ugh what did you just say?" Jae kyung said with disbelief. Does she think I like Ji Hoo?
"Unni, you like Ji hoo oppa right?"
Jae kyung couldn't process everything. She was about to have a heart attack, not wanting her sister to hate her but this information was…
"You think I like Ji hoo?" she asked in disbelief.
Ga eul nodded. "Yes."
Jae Kyung sat down, not knowing whether to be happy or disappointed that her own sister can see what she truly feelings.
"Unni, it's okay….I understand that liking Ji hoo can complicated your friendship but I'm sure Ji Hoo Oppa feels that same."
Jae Kyung looked at her sister. "Ga Eul, I think you are misunderstanding."
She titled her head. "Unni, what do you mean?"
"Um…you see…Ji Hoo is only a friend to me and nothing more. I only see him as a friend and he like a brother to me….and of course Ji Hoo could never see me as a woman." She laughed off. "So don't misunderstand…"
"Oh…but I was certain…"
Jae kyung waved her hands in protest. "No, I can never feel that way to Ji Hoo!"
"Ahem!" A sweet gentle voice suddenly uttered behind them.
Jae Kyung froze as she recognized the voice. Crap.
"Ji Hoo Oppa…" Ga Eul said in discomfort. Her eyes swayed toward her sister.
"Yah what are you doing barging into someone's house!" Jae Kyung uttered, in anger that he heard everything and embarrassment.
"I didn't barge in….the door was open…." He responded calmly, not losing his cool. He hid his emotion well. He was used to shut off his emotions toward people but it suddenly stunned him when he heard those words coming from Jae Kyung's mouth.
I can never feel that way to Ji Hoo
"When did you get here?" Ga Eul asked, wanting to ease the tension that was building up.
Ji Hoo stared at Jae kyung, who immediately looked down at the ground when his eyes gazed at her. Jae Kyung suddenly felt awkward.
"Just now, the door was open so I hope you don't mind me entering." He answered Ga eul's question. His eyes didn't left Jae Kyung but he swayed his eyes away when someone else entered and it was no another then Song Woo Bin.
Jae Kyung's eyes slowly gazed at Woo bin. "What's going on?" He asked, feeling the atmosphere.
"Nothing is going on!" Jae Kyung blurted it, with an unease laughter. "Right Ga eul?" She looked at ga eul to agree with her.
"Uh….yes nothing is wrong….just caught us off guard." Ga eul's eyes slowly gazed at Woo Bin. She was happy that he was fine. She suddenly flashed back to this afternoon which suddenly made her looked away from him ad slowly back away.
Woo Bin stared at Ga Eul. There's so much going on with his life that he doesn't know what to believe.
"So why are you here?" Jae Kyung asked, wanting to know why they are there.
"He needed to talk to someone and I was driving so…."
"He…?"
Ji Hoo pointed to Woo Bin who was staring at Ga eul, who assumed back to the kitchen counter pretending to be busy but glimpsed at Woo Bin before anyone could notice.
Jae Kyung watched the guy she like admired her little sister from afar.
Woo Bin slowly walked beside Ga Eul, making sure to be careful with his movements. He looked at her with such affection that it can make every girl envious of her.
Jae kyung looked away, she hid her sad expression easily and walked away wanting to give them alone time. She tugged on Ji Hoo's blazer as she walked past him. He looked at her and lowered his head as he knew and followed her out.

Woo Bin waited until she noticed him. Ga Eul's back was facing him. He could tell immediately she was upset. He knew he blew it with her, missing her usual lunch date. He must have worried.
He didn't care if anyone sees. He immediately wrapped his arms around her.
Ga Eul was startled. "Woo bin?"
"…I'm sorry I missed our lunch date."
Ga Eul placed her hands on his arms as they embraced her upper body.
"You must have been worried…."
"What happened?" She asked.
"What do you mean?"
"It's not like you to miss school so early and…."
Woo Bin embraced his arms tightly onto her. "It's…." He wants to tell right there and then about everything but he hesitated. Was it the best to bring Ga eul in this? He thought.
He shook his head, deciding not to say anything. He have to keep what he found out today a secret, it's better that way.
Woo Bin quickly rushed into the café, searching for the man he called earlier. He spotted a man who was sitting in the corner, reading a book. Woo bin walked up to him and greeted. "Hyung."
The man looked up and smiled. "It had been awhile, my little brother."
Woo Bin sat down in front of the man. "So what did you wanted to talk to me about?" the man asked.
"Il Hyun Hyung, I'm going to straightforward in this and I want you to answer honestly…no lies."
Song II Hyun is Woo Bin's "uncle". He is 23 years old and currently going to Seoul University. He was always a hyung to Woo Bin since they were kids.
"What is it?"
"Hyung do you know someone by the name of So Seohyun?"
II Hyun froze immediately after hearing the name and Woo Bin noticed this.
"Why are you asking?" He asked in a low tone.
"So you do know her….who is she?" Woo Bin asked, already knowing the answer. Hyung wouldn't lie to me not after everything. He thought
"Woo Bin, how did you…"
"How I came across So Seohyun…it wasn't hard since grandfather have piles of pictures of her in his draws."
"Woo Bin please listen to me, this isn't something you want to dig up okay."
"Hyung, why are you acting like this? Who is she? Why is she being hidden from me?"
"Woo Bin, there are things in our family that must be kept secret."
"Why, why am I the only one in this family that doesn't know anything! I'm not a kid anymore."
He lowered his head, not knowing what else to say that will convince Woo bin to not go any further. Then he realized that this secret that his family was hiding wasn't right. He knows that it will out reveal itself sooner or later.
"What am I to you?" He asked suddenly.
"What you are to me…hyung what do you mean?"
"I mean…what do you officially think of me? As a hyung or as an uncle?"
"You are my uncle but since we are close of age, I always thought of you as an older brother instead."
"I knew you would say that….Woo Bin remember that promise I made to you?"
"Promise…?" Woo Bin said as he tried to remember.
The promise was that II hyun would never let Woo Bin undergo the same situation ever again. Woo Bin was only five years old when that promise was made. II Hyun was only ten.
II Hyun flashed back to the night that Woo bin had that misfortune that cause him to lose his memories and not remembered his favorite aunt or even his favorite cousin, So Seohyun and So Yi Jeong.
"That day, you said you didn't know what had happened to you and we kept it that way for your own safely. I didn't know why you decided to just erase them from your life….maybe it was because they suddenly disappeared and you were so mad and upset….it wasn't your fault….it was mines."
What did he mean? Woo Bin wondered.
"I have to go...sorry for leaving like this." He got up. "I have to go back to school..." He looked at the sulking and confused Woo Bin. "Don't give too much thought about it, it my burden and not yours...just live as you did before."
"Hyung, how was it your fault?"
"What happened to you was my fault...if I wasn't careless and wanted to know so badly then she wouldn't..." He suddenly stopped. "Let just stop for now...I will tell you the truth one day but until then don't bring the subject up...especially to your aunt and especially to the old man." He said his goodbye and began to walk away when...
"She's here...as a teacher in my school!" Woo Bin said.
II hyun stopped.
"Did she talk to you?" He asked.
"No, she haven't met me yet...but she will and when we do see each other, I will ask her...what the real truth behind everything."
"Don't...don't cause trouble not when she..."
"Why can't you just tell me the truth?"
"that's just it...the truth...it can only cause trouble and misfortune. I'm not just saying this, I know from experiences. Wanting to the truth will only bring you unhappiness in the end. Don't be like me, just continue to be the happy kid I know you are."
"What happened?"
II hyun looked at Woo bin and sighed as he realized that he have to tell the truth now...
I'm sorry, grandfather, I can't lie anymore. II Hyun thought.
"Okay, you want to know the truth, the truth is that So Seohyun is my mother and I'm not your uncle but actually your cousin."
"What?" Woo Bin uttered. He didn't expected that as an answer.
"Yes, I was confused like yourself when I found out when I was ten years old. Everything is a blur now as I remembered everything. That day the song family world fell apart. The eldest daughter, Seohyun who was only six-month pregnant left Seoul with her son and husband after her husband was catch with a scandal...scared that her father wanted her out of the marriage, she ran away. She knew she would disgrace her father, choosing to stay with such a pitiful man. I never liked him, I thought my "sister" could do better. He was the type to flake on her when she needed him the most. She disappeared without a trace. No one knew where they went off to. It was the couple days after when i discovered that the sister i thought was my sister was actually my mom...I fell would only five at the time...I also too did as my mother and left home. I was too mad...couldn't accept the truth but grandfather found me and bought me back. I soon discovered that you had fallen ill soon after hearing my departure and the departure of Seohyun and Yi Jeong, yes So Yi Jeong that is your cousin's name and the name of my brother.
They told me that you ran after me to stop me but you..." He stopped as he couldn't go on but he continued. "you were just a kid...I hated you that moment for being so foolish. You kept on researching for me until dark and when you turned around, instead being on the ground, you turned around to only fall down on a cliff...the cliff that was near our house. you didn't wake up for weeks and everyone was worried. I stayed by your side, hoping you would wake up and then you did...the miracle that we wanted came true but you didn't remember anything. the doctor said it must have been the trauma so let just wait a couple of days." He stopped again.
"Hyung...how come..."
"Yes...that was the miracle of it, at first you couldn't remember but then you slowly recognized people's name and faces but you wouldn't remember Seohyun's name or Yi Jeong...no matter how much grandfather reminded you, you didn't remember so they stop trying to...it was aunt Taeyeon who offered the idea. She said it was better off that way as if Seohyun wasnt' a member of this family so we kept everything about her from you. The family picture was taken away and was replaced with a new portrait. It was devastating to grandfather, to have his daughter wiped away from his sight. We were going to live that that forever, never remember my mother."
"Hyung...you said it wasn't my fault, that it wasn't my burden but you are wrong...it was because of me that your mother...my aunt was erase from this family. I'm truly sorry about that...you must have hated me." Woo Bin walked off and left the cafe.
II Hyun called out to Woo Bin but Woo bin didn't listen and drove off in his car. II Hyun regret everything. He regret that it wasn't because of her husband's scandal that she left...she left to protect II Hyun. It was truly because of him that his mother, brother and baby sister lived the way they do.
