“Yes! Of course, I will not let you go,” said Angela with her arms around Jan Lee’s waist. Then she turns her head to Jan Lee and opens their visors so she can freely look into his eyes. In her excitement, she raises her arms and lifts them up in the air. “Wow! This is so good. I like this. Hope we can do this again,” she said and embraced Jan Lee.
Jan Lee smile and feeling electrified. He does not make any reaction. But somewhat silent and thinks about his next move. While they stop as the red light signaled, Jan Lee notices the guy he saw months ago. The guy who rode his bike with flowers in his front and a gift hanged in his hand grip. He was calling a girl over his phone at that moment. When Jan Lee saw him that time, the guy was not carrying gifts and flowers anymore because the girl was in his back seat riding with him. Jan Lee shook his head and smiled.
“Wow! What a beautiful incident. Good for you, dude. You did it,” he said to himself.
After minutes,
“I am happy you wore the gloves I had given to you. Thanks for valuing it,” said Angela and bite her barbecue. “Yes, I like it, and it is useful to me when I drive. My mother always asked me to buy something in the town, so I always wore your gloves,” Jan Lee answered. “That is nice. You know what, it has been a long time that I did this again. Thanks to you,” Angela turn her eyes to Jan Lee. “Thanks for what?” he asked and looked at her. “Thanks for letting me here. Sometimes, it is very lonely in the house. If without you, I would not be here. This drink is so cold and refreshing,” then she put the can beside her and bite her barbecue. “Yeah, no problem. Do not worry about it, as long as I can. I am here in your side always.” Jan Lee responded and blinked at her. “But hey! This place is getting crisp in here. Did you feel it?” “Yeah, I feel it. It is getting more exciting, right?” Angela bites her lips. “Yeah! Really, but hey
Jan Lee took Angela to her house. When he is about to leave, Angela holds his left arm. “Thanks for the jacket and the ride… I will never forget this moment… I will never forget that place...Hmm, you are the most unique person I had ever meet in my life…I hope you will never change,” said Angela and smiled at him. “You're welcome, you can call me anytime,” Jan Lee answered. “So! I got to go.” “Yeah! Please, be careful. Goodbye,” tell Angela and waved her hand at him. When Angela entered her room, her mother is there hugging Cathy on her bed. “Oh no! Sorry, Cathy. I was visiting the mother of Bernie. We are from the hospital. That is why I came home late,” then she walked forward to her cat, embraced her, and stroked its long orange hair. “Hmm, it seems Cathy had a rival right now,” her mother said, meaning something to Angela. “Cathy, I have to leave you now your mother is here,” she said and grinned at her and leave the room.
"What happened sis?" Tessa asked Ally when she notice her sitting in the corner with her face down casted. "I worried about my father. We need to take him to the hospital. Shim found out that he was not taking medicine anymore. He does not even eat. Shim keep asking him but he refuses," Ally answered and sighed. "Why is he doing that?" Tessa inquires while holding her pen and notebook. "I do not know! Maybe he was thinking he is a burdened to us. But we never let him feel like that. I do everything in taking care of him. I was not mad at him. He was hurt when Jap gives trouble to our house. But we already managed it. We let Jap calmed and we explained to him what happened. He did not see my sacrifices. All he was thinking is himself. I do not understand. I worry about Shim. He is now taking care of our father. Even though, he is doing his study but still he manages his time just to give time in caring our father," Ally shook her head and cry.
"I am sorry for what had happened," Jan Lee said to Ally with his arms around her. He strokes her back and faced her."I never thought he would do this to me. He should be here. But look what he did? he even preferred to go with that woman. I was thinking of him when I needed his presence but he does not care about me. He is lying," Ally rested her head to Jan Lee while sobbing.Jan Lee felt hurt with what his twin brother did to Ally. He wanted to answer Ally's questions and reasoned out for Jim Han's sake. But he chooses to listen to her instead and let her go of her feelings. Then he holds Ally's hand and let her seat beside him in the bench. Ally continues sobbing with her face down ward. She cannot stop but let her tears flowed down her face. Jan Lee turns his face the other way and shook his head."Brother, what have you done?" he thought to himself. "You should be here instead of me. You let me clean up your mess, bro. You are too selfish," he conti
"Hmm, you must be tired," Ally said to Jan Lee when she notices him feel sleepy. "Thank you for your company and help. I would not be able to do this without you." "No problem," then Jan Lee carried the box inside the ward. Shim and Jap immediately open the box and unload the electric kettle, fan and blankets. After a while, the two brothers find some place in the corner and lay down. Jan Lee saw them lying on the floor and feel pity on them. "What about you? Where do you sleep?" Jan Lee asked her worriedly. "I think you have work tomorrow." "Yeah! I have but my father needs me right now to take care him. I must be on his side and attend to him whenever he needs something. The nurse will come here anytime and check for his progress so I need to be awake," Ally answered. "I see. But let me go home and take a pillow for you or bring some snacks here so you can eat when you feel hungry," Jan Lee said. "I need your offer but I feel ashamed
As he was resisting his sleepiness, he cannot stop but gaze on Ally’s face. He turned the other side for he would not look on her alluring figure. After an hour, Jan Lee feels his eyes to drop so he leans his head on the wall. In an instance, he was not aware that his face was directed in front of Ally’s face. Then, Ally’s father cough so hard that wakes her up. As she opens her eyes Jan Lee’s face was nearly in her lips. So, she patted his neck to wake him up. When Jan Lee opened his eyes, he was shocked and feel shy for his nose was about to touch Ally’s face. So, he immediately lifts up his head. “Sorry for waking you up. I need to look on my father to see what is happening,” then Ally get up and went to her father. After checking her father, she turns her face and saw Jan Lee asleep again with his head leaned on the wall. She took pity on him for he came there to help and be with her. She feels Jan Lee was tired already so he falls asleep. Then she seats beside h
"Is he the one whom you told me about?" Sou Yee asks Ally as they were about to enter the shop. Ally sensed that he was talking to Jan Lee so she looks at Tessa then turned to Sou Yee. "No, he is his twin brother. Yesterday, he was with me at the hospital. He is helping us. By the way, thanks for helping me. I really appreciate your help," then both of them stood still waiting for their boss's response. Sou Yee was not able to move after hearing Ally's response. He turned his eyes the other side thinking what to say. He wanted to talk about Jan Lee but he changed his mind. After seconds, he nodded his head. "Umm, yeah! Well...I was also thinking to company you at the hospital but...umm...never thought he is there already...you know...hmm never mind. I hope your father will get well soon. But anyway, you can call me anytime if you need my help, okay?" then he signaled his hand to walk away from them. "Oh no my friend! You are such a
Jan Lee began to puzzled in his mind. He asked himself why he had felt that feelings for Ally. He began to worry about her, her father and her brothers. Feels like a string is attached into his body that pulls him everywhere wherever Ally goes. He feels concern and he wanted to help her anytime. He heard the mellow sounds of the radio from their backyard and the cool air of his fan gently touching his skin makes him to fall asleep. Hours later, his phone rang and he quickly answer it. “Yes Ally?” he answered while hardly opening his eyes. “What? Ally?” a voice from his phone asked him. Jan Lee widened his eyes after hearing a familiar voice. He quickly checks the name on the screen of his phone of who is calling. He was shocked and quickly get up when Angela’s number and name appeared on the screen. He remembers, he does not have the number of Ally yet. “Oh No! Yes…Angela? Sorry I was asleep. I was dreaming,” he scratches his head and reasoned out for
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
