Chapter 23 | Baby Just Cry

Jihyun's POV

  Upon seeing Bambam running after Mark Oppa, I ran after him too.

  I followed behind Bambam, tip-toeing, trying not to create unnecessary noises. I could hear someone wailing and sniffling. Mark Oppa?

  I hid behind the wall when I saw Bambam approaching Mark Oppa. I know I shouldn't eavesdrop but I am too worried about Oppa.

    "Mark hyung, it's me, Bambam," Mark Oppa lifted his head and turned to look at Bambam.

  "Bambam?" He wiped away his tear with the back of his hand, "I'm sorry to let you see me cry like that." Oppa, don't cry.

  "It's okay, Hyung, just cry it all out, I'm willing to listen to you, even if you talk for one whole day, I will give up my sleep for you." Aww, Bambam, you're too sweet.

  "Thank you, Bambam, well this might take a while but I wanna tell you something. I know you might be wondering why Jinyoung said that Jihyun isn't my real younger sister. Well actually, both Jinyoung and Jihyun are my adopted younger siblings."

My mouth went agape and my whole body stiffened. I was taken aback. I- Oppa- We- W-We were a-adopted? Tears brimmed my eyes and my vision grew blurry. I leaned my back against the wall, slowly dragging my body down to a squat.

"I found them adorable, fun, lovable and brave. Everytime I see Jihyun, I would think of her as a cute, small, precious baby sister. Well, Jinyoung has always been overprotective when it comes to Jihyun. He would be like a mother hen protecting her baby chicks even at life's end. That's how precious Jihyun is to Jinyoung."

Oppa, how long has this been going on? How long have you lied to us? No. When Jinyoung Oppa said that You're not my real brother, he knew it already. How long do you guys plan to keep it from me?!

At this stage, I was already crying a waterfall of tears. I gritted my teeth as to not make any sounds.

"When I was younger, I had no siblings, so I was lonely. Even though I had friends, best friends or buddies, my loneliness still did not disappear. I only had toys to play with as both my parents had to work. Sometimes, they even go overseas because they have meetings there. While they are busy earning money, I am all alone at home, with the maids that my mom hired." Do you know how I had felt, Oppa? I felt much worse than you.

"I have always felt envious to people who have siblings. I don't care if they are annoying or naughty, but at least, I will have someone. That is why I wanted them as my siblings." And you didn't tell me that I was adopted? You kept the fact that I was adopted away from me!

"But hearing my precious brother implicating that Jihyun isn't my real little sister had shattered my heart. It made me feel as if he wanted to emphasize that we were not a family." That's how I feel!

"I'm sure that Jinyoung hyung didn't mean it. He only said it as a comeback when you said that Jihyun is also your sister." I blocked out my ears on hearing this.

Why? Why didn't anyone tell me this? Why am I the only one who didn't know? Is this to make me feel dumb?

"Jihyun?" I looked up and saw Bambam looking at me from above. I covered my face and turned to the other side.

"Jihyun," Bambam called out to me once again, more gently. He squatted in front of me, gently taking my hands away from my tear-stained face.

He then cup my face. "Hyun, just take out your anger on me," He looked down. I couldn't take it any longer. I wrapped my arms around his neck and cried into his chest. I let go of everything and screamed as I bawled my eyes out.

Bambam wrapped his arm around me, embracing me as I cried harder. At times like this, I am grateful to have met Bambam in my life.

After a while, I let go of unwrapped my arms from his neck and looked up at Mark Oppa, "O-Oppa, w-why didn't you tell me that I was adopted?" My words were unclear as I sniffles every now and then.

"I- I thought that keeping it from you was the best idea," Mark lowered his head, looking into my eyes sincerely.

"You could've just told me that I was adopted before, so I didn't have to know the truth indirectly! We could've been happy siblings even if I we're adopted! We're still siblings from the heart and not from the blood!"

"I'm sorry. I thought that if you knew, you'd hate me, as well as Jinyoung."

"Why would I do that? Jinyoung Oppa and you are the best Oppas I could ever ask for. You even took care of me, how could I ever hate you?"

I stood up and hugged Mark Oppa, hitting his back lightly. "Please don't lie to me again, Oppa. Promise me?"

I raised my pinky finger up, waiting for his response. He lifted his finger too, intertwining it with my smaller one.

"I promise."

You may not believe me, but I smile even more when others are happy. Please spread the happiness around so others can smile more.

I guess that's enough cheesy things for this chapter. There has been a bit of a drama in these few chapters, as well as crying scenes.

This may be a little confusing but this is not a down-to-earth book. It contains a teeny weeny bit of fantasy.

I'm sorry for the inconsistent updates for this book. I know I might lose readers for this, so I plan to update as soon as possible whenever I can.

That's all. Good bye and have a great day! ;)
