Dreaming of you-Chapter 22: The keychain....!

Se-ra is sitting on the sofa in the drawing room. That’s when se-ra’s mom is there. Se-ra is startled to see her and quickly stands up to show respect. Her mom sits on the sofa reading a magazine and drinking tea. se-ra says with much ambivalence,

"Mom, I had something to talk about with you..."

Se-ra’s mom says with a hand gesture. Se-ra closed her eyes and said in one breath,

"Someone is blackmailing me about Ha-na. I need your help."

Se-ra’s mother looks on angrily. Se-ra bowed her head in fear.

"Last time, I was able to cover up your crimes because she was an orphan. Do you think that just because I helped a criminal like you once, I will always do so? Do you think I’m a machine who cleaning all your sins? And why bother people when you can’t do anything properly yourself? If you go like that then remember that I will send you to boarding. "

"Mom..."

"Because of your mistakes, I can no longer allow my reputation to be ruined. If you thought that I will think about you by floating my career, reputation, after all these years of suffering, then you are wrong. I am not like other So-called mothers who only think about the child. For me my career is my first Priority. "

se-ra’s mom gets up and leaves. Se-ra goes to the balcony and stands. Se-ra looks down from the balcony and sees her mom kissing another stranger, then they talk and get into the car. Se-ra smiles sheepishly and says,

"That’s the problem mom. You’re not like other so-called moms."

Se-ra’s cheeks watered.

I was sitting at my desk studying when a call come to my phone. I took the phone and saw that the call came from an unknown number. I frowns then answers the phone.

"Hello? Who’s there?"

"Come out of the house."

"Who are you?"

"You can see when you come out. Come out quickly."

Cut the phone from the other side. I’m shocked. Looking out the window, Taewon is standing. I realizes that brother Taewon called me. I storms out of the house and says,

"Why did you come here?"

"Give me your phone ..."

"What? Why? What are you going to do with my phone?"

Brother Taewon realizes that telling me won’t do anything. So he snatches my phone from me. I glares at him.

"Hey! Why did you take my phone?"

Brother Taewon looks at something on the phone without answering my question. He asks me in surprise,

"Did you change your phone lock?"

"yes"

"But why?"

"That’s what I want. Anything else to say?"

"But how can you suddenly change the password of your phone? It’s a big crime."

"Crime!" I smiles sheepishly.

"How much has changed in these 3 years and you’re talking about a little phone lock?"

I sighs. Brother Taewon stares at me silently. As if he is not prepared for this words.

I take my phone from his hand and unlocks it. I give him my phone. He dialled something in my phone for a while.

"I knew...!"

I frown. Brother Taewon points at me and says, showing my phone screen.

"You didn’t save my number. Here I saved it."

I stare at him in disbelief. I take my phone back from his hand.

"Did you come here just to save your phone number?"

"I missed you a lot. So that’s why I came to see you."

"Stop fooling around and say why you come?"

"I heard grandfather came. I came to meet him."

"Then why did you call me down?"

"I like annoying you more." He says with a smile.

"Do you want to be beaten?"

He fell silent. I come inside the house. He followed me inside.

Seeing me enter the house, my mom said,

"Where did you go at this time?"

I doesn’t answer. When my mom sees brother Taewon behind me coming, she seems to be happy.

"Hey Taewon.... It’s been a long time since I saw you. You’ve grown so much."

"Hello, Aunty!"

"Su-jin is this boy with you your boyfriend? " Grandpa said suspiciously as he looked at brother Taewon.

"Grandpa, do you think my choice is that much low?"

Grandpa laughs at my words. Brother Taewon looks surprised.

"Hey grandpa, I’m Taewon... the one who used to hide lizards in your underwear as a kid."

"aaaaaah, you’re the bastard! You have grown up a lot."

"Well, let’s sit down to eat. Taewon, come and join us for dinner today."

"Oppa has work to do. So He will leave now."

Hearing my words, he quickly says,

"No, no problem. If I leave without eating such a delicious meal cooked by Aunty, my stomach will be angry with me. And I won’t be able to bear the consequences. So....."

He sits at the table and starts eating. My mom laughs after hearing his words. I look at Taewon with annoyance and goes to the table and starts eating.

After dinner I come to my room and starts reading. Suddenly I saw something outside the window. I get up from the table and run out of the house. Seeing me in such a hurry, my mother asks.

"Su-jin wait. Where are you going again this late at night?"

I leave the house before she can finishe speaking. Brother Taewon watches my leave in surprise as he eats.

I come in front of brother Taewon’s bike and take the bike key. I looked at the keychain and take out with my hand from bike. I’m surprised by the Keychain’s design. I stand stunned.

After a while, brother Taewon entered in my room and looked into the room. I was sitting at the table doing something.

Su-jin hid something when she saw Taewon. Taewon glares at Su-jin. Before he says something, I says annoyed.

"Don’t you know that you have to get permission before entering someone’s room?"

"When did I ever get permission to come into your room? And you know very well that there will be no formalities with me."

"oppa... is this how you live your life?"

" What do you mean by saying like this?"

"Are you living your life happily and peacefully?"

"Yes."

Brother Taewon responds normally to my words. I say seriously,

"Didn’t Ha-na’s death affect your life at all? You loved her, right! You two had such a beautiful relationship. You must have so many beautiful memories. Don’t you remember them at all? Do you remember her at all? Aren’t you upset?"

He tries to be normal and says, "There’s nothing to feel upset about! We all have to leave this world one day. Does that mean our lives or the world will stop? Never. No one lives for anyone, su-jin."

"Really? If your words are true, why can’t I forget Ha-na? Even after making myself so hard, why do I stop when I hear her name? Why spend with her every moment makes me cry? Can you tell? Can you answer my questions? "

He doesn’t say anything. I say with a sigh,

" Oppa, you said that you move on right? "

" Yeah. And i think you should move on too. "

" Okay, I will. But can you explain me this? "

I take out his bike keychain and shows it to him.

" If you’re really moving on, why do you still have the keychain Ha-na gave you?"

He look surprised. He checks his pocket but does not find the keychain. Then he remembered that he forgot to leave the keychain on the bike. Brother Taewon kept his head down in silence. I look at him with tears, hoping for an answer.
