50- Finding Peace

Taehyung

This is the first time for me to see Heidi in her baju kurung. She looks different in that outfit, which makes me imagine how Eonjin will be like when she wears it as well. "Do I look weird in this outfit?" Heidi asks as she pulls the hem of her upper dress.

"Of course it's nice," I answer with a genuine smile. "You look beautiful in any outfit you wear, goma." Heidi shoots me an 'I know right' look while she ties her curly hair to the back. Today is this girl's important day because the results of her final test is going to be out soon.

By the time of 9, we have to arrive without even being late for a little five minutes. "Taetae, I'm wondering how should we arrive in time though. We are in another state and it's quite far from there." Indeed, this place is Johor Bahru, Heidi's hometown. And the place we need to be there later is located in Pahang, which takes about 2 hours if we travel by car.

I take a look at the wall clock while Heidi proceeds with her slight makeup, making her features even more striking. "Jin-hyung should be awake by now," I murmur. "Maybe we can ask for Jin-hyung's help again, for the one-"

"Last time?" After keeping the things, she squints at me with her 'are you serious' look. "But we had asked him for a favour before." She states, not really agreeing with my suggestion.

I feel sorry to admit but still, I nod with my lower lip bitten. " Seokjin-hyung will be pleased to help us." Heidi stares at me with the same look with her lips pouting.

She clears her throat and pauses for a while before saying, "If you have make your choice, you better be quick." She kisses me on the lips before leaving the room to have her breakfast.

As she closes the door behind me, I look into the mirror with my serious expression and say, "You should come out now." Soon, my reflection in the mirror changes when a new face replaces it. Jeong Gyu.

"Hyung," calls Jeong Gyu from the mirror. "How have you all been?" He asks while my facial expression softens.

Both of my hands brace on either side of the mirror frame when I assume that it's my brother's shoulder. "Dongsaeng," I start. "We're doing great. What about you? Where are you now?" Jeong Gyu heaves out a sigh and shows out his waried smile, making me even more worried.

"It's so complicated." Jeong Gyu answers. "I can't even distinguish whether I've survived or not," he says with a smile mixed with bewilderment and also a little bit of sadness. "I'm now at the Great Angel's palace, being given luxurious accomodation without knowing the reason. They use to ask me for more details about how I helped you with noona's case last time." He's indicating Heidi-goma, bringing me back to the day when Heidi forgets about Bogum's existence.

"Is that because of the side effect your force field?" I query while he looks away.

"Could be Bogum's as well?" He makes an assumption and that makes sense.

"Whatever you do. Never tell them, or eomuni and abah will not be able to clear the debts for the entire life. This will be torturous, Jeong Gyu." I review while my brother lowers his head. "You'd told them, have you?"

"No," answers Jeong Gyu. "I know when noona stops the clash of our force field, she has entered the trap, the trap that makes her to forget something but Bogum didn't know. In that way, either of the side will be forgotten, so I prayed deep inside of my heart and chose Bogum. So this made her-"

"Forget about him." I finish the sentence in pure astonishment. "What did you tell them?" Before declining our conversation, asking this very question will be the most important action to take.
