I saw Hyunsik with Amy as they also head to the house, Hyunsik and I both laugh as we saw the girls holding a bouquet of yellow daisies.
I smiled at Amy, she smiled at me hesitantly. I sighed deeply, I must have made her uncomfortable last time, I made a mental note to have a talk with her later.
Mom welcome us inside and hugged the girls.
"Ohhh my, my daughter in laws both bring me my favorite flower. I must have been really blessed with good sons."
Both Amy and Chorong smiled shyly at Mom and at each other.
We all head into the dining table where Dad and Hyejin is waiting for us.
"Darlings don't be shy, feel at home, I prepared all this for us." Mom said to the girls.

Mom lead the talk during dinner, she asked Chorongie and Amy questions about their work and family. Amy seems reluctant to answer questions related to her family at first but she soon warmed up to Mom.
I saw Hyunsik and Amy whispered at each other once in a while, happiness evident in my brother's eyes. I felt Chorongie squeezed my hands under the table when she caught me looking at the two of them.
"Support them Changsubie, be happy for them."
I nodded and smiled at her, thankful for her understanding of how I feel.
Hyejin took out the birthday cake and we sang Mom a happy birthday. She said she doesn't need to make a wish anymore because both her sons look happy now.
"What about me Mom?" Hyejin pout beside Dad.
"Yah, you can't date Eunkwang hyung, I won't let you." I screamed at her knowing fully that's what she wanted to say. They all laugh at my reaction.
Chorongie went to the kitchen with Mom, Hyunsik went with Dad in his study and I saw Amy went out to the veranda. I followed her.
She was looking at the sky, clutching her necklace and smiling alone.
I cleared my throat to alert her of her presence. "Can we talk?" I smiled at her reassuringly, in case she had other idea.
"I'm sorry if I seem cold to you the last time. I was just worried for my brother."
"I... understand." she said meekly beside me.
"I have nothing against you, I like you for him, I honestly do, you make him happy. I paused for a moment. "But... I got worried when I learned you will be leaving soon...." she looked at me expectantly so I continue.
"He got hurt a few years back, his girlfriend left him to fulfill her dreams." I couldn't look at her so I look up to the sky.
"Hyunsik was so hurt... that.. he almost killed himself." I heard her gasp at what I am telling her.
"When Seoyeon left, he changed, he stop making music, he drinks from sun up to sun down. It took him a while to recover. He came back to life but he was never the same.... Until you came." I look at her and saw her wiping her tears.
"I was so happy when he told me about you, finally my brother is coming back to life, but when I learned you will be leaving him as well, I panic. I had a fight with him." I took a deep breath before I continue, all my emotions coming up.
"He told me he'll do anything for you, he's willing to fly frequently to Malaysia just to see you. He said he'll do anything to make the two of you work." I wipe her tears before I speak again.
"I admit I was hesitant to believe that, but I saw the way he looks at you, and the way you look at him. I know, I can't come between the two of you. I couldn't, I can see how much you love each other." I smiled at her, as she continue to cry.
"Promise me one thing Amy, don't leave him, don't do what Seoyeon did." I wipe her tears and look at her intently.
She was silent for a while, I hear her took a deep breath before she speaks.
"Changsub Oppa, I love your brother, so much that I don't I deserve him. He's like a light in a dark tunnel I was trapped in. I don't know how to survive without him anymore." her tears continue to flow and I can tell she mean it.
"I promise to stay with him and love him. I won't leave him unless he choose to be with someone else, only then I will let go of him." she continued looking at me this time.
I hugged her tight and thank her. I saw Chorong looking at us smiling. I smiled back at her.
I only hope the two of them stay strong and fight to hold on to each other.
