Jan Lee suddenly awakes when her mother rapidly knocks in his room. He quickly gets up from his bed and stretches his body. Then, Jan walks toward the door. As he opens the door, his mother asked him if Jim got home that night.
“Where is your twin?” said Winze, their mother looking for Jim.
“Good morning, mama. No, he never came home yesterday,” Jan Lee responded.
“Did you contact him?” she asked.
“Yes! Always but same as usual. No response. You know that man whenever he had something to do, he does not want to be disturbed,” Jan Lee explained.
“I thought he is here because I want both of you to help me carry those newly made plant racks in the backyard garden. Maybe you can ask Hea Bum to help you. Your father is old already. He cannot do it his own,” said his mother requesting him.
“Alright, mama. No problem. Let me changed my shirt first. I will be right there in a minute, mama,” said Jan as he opens his cabinet and find some old sh
Then the Sy family got prepared for their family bonding at the restaurant where Jim promised to eat their lunch. The seats of Jim Han's car could not accommodate them all. So, Jan Lee used his motorbike to go to the restaurant. On their way, they were delay due to the heavy traffic, but Jan Lee was able to manage to overtake other vehicles, so he arrived first in the restaurant. He dismounted from his bike in front of the restaurant. Jan stands steadily, waiting for his family to come. He stands with the restaurant in his back while facing the street. Suddenly, an attractive girl wearing a work uniform got out of the restaurant and greeted him. “Hi! I miss you so much. Good to see you. It has been a long time since you came here,” said the girl after hugging him and kissed him on his cheeks. Then the girl pulls him inside the restaurant and gives him a seat. After giving him a chair, she then gets inside the comfort room. Jan Lee, to his surprise, becomes speechless
Jim Han funnily interacts with his family. He stands in front of their table causes his family to laugh at him. Like Jim said to Max, the spotlight of their family. He wanted to be in the center stage of their attention. Jim wanted them to be happy always and refrain from worrying. While he stands in front of them telling funny stories, Jan, who was comfortably seating thinks about going home. For him spending a long time in other events is stealing time. He is thinking about his unfinished task at the house. And the things he loves to do in his room. Though he is having fun with Jim Han, and swayed in his humor but could not take a long period with him. “Um! I want to go home,” said Jan Lee as he stands from his seat. When his parents and siblings heard him saying it, the whole family smiled and quickly allowed him, for they already knew him. "I am not done yet, bro!” said Jim while raising his arms illustrating his story with them. “I forgot somethi
“I see! What else are you doing here aside from writing a novel?” Shin Ki asked further. “Many! I watch series of movies. I do online jobs. I explore and research global news and current events. Sometimes I invent. Sometimes I do track with Jim Han, yeah! Really. It is fun sometimes. He does not know I put hidden cameras in his bag and replaced his shirt buttons with a tiny camera,” said Jan Lee while looking at her notes. “Really? Do you mean Jim Han does not know you are following him? Your naughty sometimes. Hahaha, you are funny. I never thought,” she responded and laughed at him. “Yes, but not all the time. I did it because I wanted to make sure if it works. I know Jim Han likes to go anywhere, so I decided to test my invention through him. But not all the time, of course, I tried it to measure how far the signal can take. Where ever Jim Han go I am with him. I see streets, cars, rooms, restaurants, beaches, mountains, and his other friends. Occasionally
“Hey! Sister, time to work,” said Shim shaking Ally to wake up. Then she gets up quickly and sits on her bed. She hardly opens her eyes since she was still sleepy. She was tired that night of doing overtime from her work. In a moment, she closed her eyes and conditioned her body to make herself ready for her work. Then she stood up and fixed her blanket. “Sister! It is almost seven,” Shim told her while standing at the door. “What? Oh no!” Ally shockingly responded with her both hands in her face, open mouth, and widening her eyes. She was in a hurry for they had a sales promotion in their shop, so she needs to be there on time. “Do not worry! Your breakfast is ready, and your coffee is at the table,” tell Shim while sweeping the floor, “I also told Jap to look for a vehicle for you to ride on,” he added. “Thank goodness, my brother! You are such a good and responsible brother. Let me wear my uniform first,” she then hugged her brother went in
Ally went to their recharge room and put her packed food in her cabinet. She is turning her back when her boss passes by. The boss was in a hurry. Suddenly, as he takes a glance at Ally, he noticed and stopped for a moment. “Hey,” he waved his hand and stand at the door. “Hi, yes sir?” she smiled at him and waits for him what he wanted to say. “Hmm, I saw how you walked a while ago as you fill the line this morning. Is there something wrong in your shoes?” the boss asked worriedly. “Yes! Um, sir, I pick the wrong shoes when I was about to leave the house. I did not notice that the heel is broke, I was in a hurry this morning, so I mistook the other one,” Ally reasoned out. “I see. You can call me Sou Yee if we are in the other place,” he said while showing his concern. “By the way, can I buy you dinner next week? Or whenever you are free?” “I have a boyfriend,” she smiled and turned her eyes to the other side while thinking about Jim H
“Hey! Bro, what is your plan? How long will you think about it?” Jim Han asked Jan Lee while putting some stuff in his bag. “What kind of plan did you ask?” he asked awfully. He then stops what he does on his laptop. “Angela! Is it okay for you to stare at her picture the whole time? Or do you want to meet her in person? Come on, bro! She is waiting for you. That is why she gives you her number,” Jim Han replied as he paused for a moment. “I have a plan but, I am afraid she would not like me,” Jan Lee replied and scratch his head. “Bro! You do not need to plan. You make a try. And take the first move. That is all. You have this advantage. This girl likes you! Do you want other guys to take over instead of you? Angela shares with me some good-looking guys courting her, but they are busted. She found something from you. Really! You are unique. I am far different from you. You know it well,” Jim smiled and patted his shoulder. “Well! Let us see.
Jim Han excitedly leaves the house. He waved his hands to his parents and siblings saying goodbye to them. Jim quickly loaded the portable gas stove, ice chest, and camping tent in his car. Then, he drove going to the station where Nina waits for him. “Do you have a walk too?” Winze asks Jan Lee when she notices him standing at the door while looking at his twin leaving. “No! I rather stay in the house. It is safer. I can do more whenever I am here,” he replied. He gets a mug and brewed his own coffee. “Hmm, so tasty coffee,” said Chou Yen after taking a sip. “Of course! I am the one brewing it,” Winze replied and smiled at him. In a moment, Jan Lee stared at his parents and asked an interesting question to his father. “Papa, how did you court mama when you are still young?” His father paused for a while. It was his first-time hearing from his son asking that kind of question. He stops stirring his coffee, takes a glance at his wife, a
“How many buckets of water are we going to need?” Hea Bum asked while looking at the plants with his hands in the back of his head. “Ten would be enough,” said Jan Lee while holding the rope. “What? Grht! That is so tiring,” he shook his head with a downed shoulder. “Do not worry, I will be the one to carry it. All you have to do is to sprinkle the water into the plants,” Jan Lee responded. “Uh! That would be nice. I agree with that,” Hea Bum replied while holding the sprinkler, giving him a thumbs up. “Hey! How is Angela? Did she send you a message?” he asked while grinning at Jan Lee. “What? I do not know. Of course, she would be in her house right now or with other friends,” Jan Lee answered while raising his shoulders. “Hmm! Anyway, we will know it. If you do not send her a message, then maybe she will call you. Hey! Jan Lee, are you numb? I think she would call you that. Hah ha! ha!” then he acts calling teasing him. “Just kidding
After they ate, Shin Ki and Winze immediately talked to Nina and Ally. They took Nina and Ally to the backyard garden and showed them its beauty. The two were impressed when they learned that Winze was in charge of planting, cleaning, and watering the plants. But they do not forget to mention Jan Lee and Jim Han, who sometimes help out in the garden. Later, Jan Lee and Jim Han approached the two. When Winze and Shin Ki saw the twins, they said goodbye to Nina and Ally."Where are you going tonight?" Jim Han asked Jan Lee."Haha, we will stay here in the garden first. We will sit in rocking chairs and watch the moon. We will think about where we are going later," Jan Lee replied."All right, Nina and I are leaving. We are going to the park. There we will chill and talk," then Jim Han and Nina left the house and got into his car."Do you have any plans to leave like them?" Ally asked him."I do not know. The important thing now is that we are here in
“This is what we have been waiting for,” Jim Han said while adjusting the collar of Jan Lee’s dress."I am nervous. I feel like I am going to pick up my bride at their house," Jan Lee replied as he laughed."Do not worry. It will end too. After we celebrate our birthday, it is up to us what our plans are. I will invite our siblings together with papa and mama to go to the place I told them. What is your plan for tomorrow?" Jim Han asked Jan Lee."We are going to Tessa's farm. Ally missed her friend. We have not been back there for a long time," Jan Lee replied."Ah, is that so? Is the scenery in their place beautiful?" asked Jim Han, who had just adjusted Jan Lee's collar."Yes, it was nice. That is why Ally really wants us to go back there. She wants us to swim back there in the river, grill fish, ride a skiff boat, and look at the waves in the sea," Jan Lee replied excitedly."Wow! It is exciting where you are going. Do y
"Come on. We have been waiting for you in the kitchen for a while. Put the sprinklers in the storehouse. Fix them because papa does not want to mess up the warehouse," said Shin Ki, who was standing by the door.When Jan Lee and Jim Han heard what Shin Ki said, they looked at each other because they knew what they were planning was not easy. Instead of Jim Han intending, he allowed Jan Lee to explain to their parents. They quickly went to the storehouse and put the sprinklers inside. For a few moments, the two first talked outside the storehouse."What are you? They will understand our decisions. They know that we know how to decide for ourselves. We can set aside and work for ourselves, cannot we? Look, you can even take Ally anywhere. When her father got sick and was taken to the hospital, were not you the one who helped her? It means you can stand on your own and, you can be with the woman you love," Jim Han said seriously."Yes, I know that. I am just wonder
"There you heard it. I told you," Shin Ki said to Hea Bum while carrying the large sprinkler."Haha, you can do that, brother. In the beginning, it was heavy. In the long run, it will be easier," Hea Bum explained while easing his heart.Jim Han shook his head and looked at his mother and siblings. He wanted to refuse, but he realized that it was the only time to owe back to his mother. Because; he had been away from their house many times."Ah, Haha, Of course, I can do that. I am just kidding. The truth is I can do that," Jim Han said while scratching his head."Come on, Shin Ki, let us go to the kitchen and get ready for our dinner," Winze ordered her."How is that! I will be ahead of you. Jim Han fixes the watering ha," Shin Ki joked to him.Jim Han just smiled as he watched them leave."Let them go. Let us help water mother's plants. It was because it had not watered for a long time. Let us do it like this you will be the one to
"Let him enter the room. He missed you because you have rejected him several times," Jim Han said while standing behind Hea Bum.The two looked and were surprised when they saw that Jim Han had returned home. They thought he would be home in the evening."Oh? Are you here yet? I thought you came home late at night? Have you finished bonding with your friends? It is too early," Hea Bum replied, wondering at him."Haha, Yes, I just went home because my other friends did not come, so Max and I just went out to eat together. I am sure there is a reason why I came home early," Jim Han replied and looked at Jan Lee.Jan Lee looked at the ceiling, took a deep breath, and smiled."Is not that my brother? There is a reason this time why I came home early?" Jim Han asked Jan Lee with a sense of meaning in what he was saying.Jan Lee does not know what he will answer to his twin. He would look at Hea Bum, and once again, he would look at Jim Han. He st
"He is with his friend. Son, let him think first and give time for himself. So, he could decide the right things. It was not easy for him to see what had happened. You know that even if he is naughty sometimes, still, he knows how to admit his mistakes," Chou Yen told Jan Lee.Jan Lee was just quiet while eating and continued listening to what his family was saying. He did not make any argument, for he does not want trouble. He knows it was not easy for Jim Han having a relationship with Ally before. "You know your brother, even though if he is hurt, he does not keep grudges," Winze added."You have not been here in the house for a long time. I missed playing with you. Hopefully, we can play. It is disappointing to play if you are alone. It is different when someone is playing because you are happy and you are going to have enough time to play," Hea Bum said.“Me too! I miss you helping me with my assignments and other projects in s
"Thanks," Jim Han take the drink and think for a while."Come on, don't be sad. Look, someone is leaving, but someone comes. Nina is there when you don't turn her over. Change so Nina won't leave you. Don't think about that. The good thing is that we're back to work. I've also delayed my business, so we've got to work together." Max told him."If that's the case, I think we need to call our friends. Let's ask them to come here, so we'll be happier later. Is it a good idea?" Jim Han suggested."Of course, that's a great idea. Shall we call Nina?" Max agreed but suggested Nina join their party."Hmm, I think maybe not this time. I want to be with you right now. I want us together because if Nina is here, the more I think of Ally," Jim Han refused."Ah, I see. If that's what's good for you, then let's do it," Max confirmed."But I had to go home before 10 p.m. because I had told my parents. One more thing, I don't want them to think that I am a
After how many minutes, Allan closed his eyes and fell asleep. Then Ally came to Jan Lee and seated beside him on the bench. She tried to wake him up, but he fell asleep, so Ally lay her head on his lap.On that night, Jim Han was uncomfortable on his bed. He thought about holding Ally back to him, but he remembered what he said to Jan Lee that night. Feeling that Jan Lee took Ally away from his hand and cannot do anything at all. The words were already spoken from his mouth, so he could no longer take them back. Despite his weariness, his body led him to sleep, for he was tired of his long journey that day.“Hey, brother. Come on, get up. Mama and papa ask you to join us for our breakfast,” Hea Bum said while knocking on his door.Jim Han suddenly awake. He could barely open his eyes, for he was still sleepy, and his body was aching.“Huh? What time is it?” Jim Han answered to his surprised.“You do not know the time
Jan Lee and Ally felt the happy moment that night. Jan Lee felt most comfortable, for he had felt the freedom to love Ally at last. For a long time, Jan Lee had only hidden his feeling for his fear for his brother. He had been overwhelmed by his affections to Ally, but when he heard Jim Han's response that night, he felt the assurance of love for her."What are you planning now? Are you still afraid of your brother?" Ally asked as she smiled at him."Hmm, maybe not anymore because I now knew what he really felt for you. I was scared at that time. My brother is my best friend, but I think I don't want to be a betrayer to him. So, I waited for the opportunity for him to come back," Jan Lee responded, then he held Ally's left hand.Ally looked up at the tree and said, "You know, I would have been separated from Jim Han for a long time, especially in times when he was gone when I needed him."Then she turned to Jan Lee."I was disappointed because of w
