🌪️🌧️
The video recorder in her hands in front of her face, stiff and the smile on her face replaced with complete shock.
You're thinking, why she has a video recorder in her hands, right.
Actually she is used to being a famous photographer, photography is her passion. Her work won lots of awards.
But she retired when she found out she's pregnant. But her passion didn't die or not Dad let it.
She captured all the beautiful and important moments of every one of us.
I told you our parents kept us away from the limelight and publicity cause they want us to live as normal kids.
So she always carries her camera with her. Because she once told me that every picture and video has a hidden memory and she wants to share it with the next generation of us, means when we four get married, she shares these memories with our kids.
At that time I feel hurt every time I think Payu Hyeong gets married to someone one day and I always pray that day never comes, not until I get over from him.
But by time pass, my feelings are getting deeper and deeper for him, it doesn't make any sense to me that time and I know you think I'm selfish, but I don't want to be hurt, I'm trying to save myself, like every one does.
But now he's mine...
But now the thing I'm afraid of, I just saw it, in her eyes, 'disappointment'
"Both of you, come down, NOW..." she gives weight on the last word, her eyes travel between me and Payu, her hand drops.
When she turned her back and left the room and I released the breath that I was holding.
We both look at each other but stand up, come out from the room and get down to the stairs.
"Noona..." when we both reached the living room, I was surprised to see my older sister standing there.
Because she is going to come tomorrow, not today when we just got in trouble.
"Did you miss me, my little bunny...." She hugged me, her smile telling me that Mom hadn't said anything to her about what happened in the room.
"...." I just replied to her with a smile, even though I am happy for my Noona but the situation is not in my favour.
"Let's eat first..... You might be hungry Jiah...." Mom said she is still not meeting eyes with us nor does she have her usual smile on her face.
This atmosphere is stiff, awkward and heavy that it makes me suffocated.
We don't want to provoke her anymore, so we decided to take our seats silently but me and Payu are the one silent, Saifah and Jiah are talking happy. I'm just giving short answers, right now I'm not in the situation to make conversation with them.
"Your father is on the way...." Mom said in a flat tone but still not looking at us, me and Payu giving a glance at each other and understanding this message for us.
"Dad?.... but why mom?.... Didn't he say he has important projects to do...." Saifah hyeong asked surprisingly.
"Cause I asked him to come.... Something needed to be discussed...." Mom's cold voice makes everyone go silent and doesn't dare to ask anything anymore, but it doesn't mean the other two people are not curious, but they are still waiting for an explanation.
We didn't have to wait for too long for Dad to arrive. We four Don with lunch and looking at the person who just arrived.
"So...... What's the urgent matter....." Dad sits on the sofa and asks curiously.
"No Eul, Payu ..... " She didn't do anything , both of us sat in front of her while Dad was sitting on her left side and Noona sitting on the single sofa, Saifah sits on the brown bean bag chair comfortably.
Me and Payu are sitting quietly, With head down, looking at the floor like it's the most interesting thing in this world right now. The whole place is filled with complete silence.
"Aunty.... Is something wrong...." Noona is the one who broke the silence.
"How long has all this going on? No Eul...." I gulped the saliva hard when Mom's words entered my mind.
"8 months..." I replied in a low and soft voice, didn't know if they heard it or not.
"And you didn't think to tell us even once...." the guilt slaps me hard, when I hear this.
I never feel regret for having feelings for Payu hyeong but I feel guilty towards my parents and his parents, they always treated me like their child and even after mom-dad left us, their behaviour never changed.
"Dear, can you explain clearly....." Dad said.
"Yes mom, what's going on..." Saifah also said.
"Payu, you shouldn't do it.... He's the family.... You know him from his birth...." I clearly heard the disappointment and pain in her voice.
"Aunty... What do you mean..." Noona asked, her voice is panicking.
"Payu harassing Eul...." after these words come out from Mom's throat, not the Dad, Saifah, Jiah shocked but me and Payu too.
All this time, mom thought that Payu hyeong was harassing me. She is taking the situation the wrong way.
"MOM.... How can you think that I can do something like this....." Payu was shocked.
" Dear it's not possible..." Dad said.
"Yes mom, Payu can't do something like this...." Saifah joined his Dad.
"Aunty, you are mistaken, Nong Payu never hurt Rain....." Noona said, her voice was full of shock and concern.
"Then what did I see.... Huh! Are you telling me that he let you do it willingly, when his face clearly shows how uncomfortable he is...... If it's not forcing then what was it....." Mom said all of the lines in a series.
"Y-yes...." I bent down my face and said, my voice is breaking, I don't know how going everyone reacts after what I'm going to say.
Payu holds my hand, gives me a light squeeze, lets me know that I'm not alone. I take a deep breath.
"I'm dating him..." this time my voice is clear and determined, there is no place for doubts.
"Rain....." Mom is trying to say something but I speak further.
"I'm sorry Aunty..... For disappointing you and Uncle, Saifah hyeong, Noona.... I'm sorry..."
I have been thinking about this since the day I responded to his feelings and I'm afraid right now but I can't be quiet and let them think that Payu hyeong is wrong.
I know they're not wrong if they have problems with our relationship because they're our family, even though our families are so close but every parent has dreams and expectations for their child. Just like that they also want us to marry someone, have children and live a happy life.
But we are happy with each other.
"Um... Shorty..... Hah.... You didn't disappoint anyone...." Dad cleared his throat, choosing his next word cautiously.
"Rain....." All this time Noona was silent but finally breaks the silence, I'm actually curious what is going on in her mind.
"You both need to give deep thought about this, sometimes we confuse affection as love but when you meet other people you will realise it...." Jiah's voice is serious.
She thinks we are making a mistake to recognise the difference between affection and love.
"How about Eul come with me and it gives y-" but her words cut by Payu's sudden burst out.
"NO... It... It was never easy... To accept and understand what I feel for him.... It was even harder to accept that he never felt the same for me ..... " Payu's body is trembling.
I always saw him strong and confident, smiling, I never knew he was suffering just like me.
"When he suddenly stopped contacting me, I realised he would disappear from my life and I wasn't ready for it..... It took every bit of courage to face him with feelings and it felt like my whole life's luck was used in that moment when he accepted it....... And you wanted to take him away from me.... No I will never let this happen....." The last word he said while looking at me.
I feel like my heart is swell with his sudden confession and my feelings overtaking the rational mind of mine, cause what I did next, I never do with a rational mind.
I rest my lips on his, giving him confidence with my actions.
"I'll surely say I'm not confused between affection and love, this is true love...." I directly looked at my sister and told her without any hesitation.
"Okay, if this you both want I won't be against it but I want both of you to make two promises with me...." after a moment of silence my sister released a sigh.
"What..." we both asked,
"If one day any of you realise the feeling is fading then you both let go of each other without hurting or hating anyone..." we both looking at each other but still nodded.
"And second is, no sexual activity until Rain turn 21 ....."
WHAT😱
Did I.... Just now.... heard correct .... No sex till my 21st .... It's not like I'm dying to having sex with Payu.... But Noona don't you think it's cruel... Seriously....
"I agree..." Did hyeong just agree on the 2nd term.
My eyes widened from the shock, I'm looking between my sister and Payu.
"...." I just nod cause I don't want her get angry.
😮💨
Starting was awkward for everyone but with time everything became normal, but no matter how awkward things are, Payu's parents behaviour and their love never change for me and noona.
I smile at the memory, looks at the person who sleeping soundly in my arms.
After some moment sleep takes me over.
