All My Heart's
Episode 23
Today, all universities in Korea hold simultaneously the graduation ceremony of their students.
“Congratulations, Young Master Joon Jin Ho.”
Instantly Jin Ho's steps stopped when he found Hye Mi who suddenly struggled spoiled hugging his arm after the graduation ceremony.
“Hye Mi, don't be like this. Aren't you ashamed of everyone's sight?”
Instead of being sensitive to the sense of anger that Jin Ho is aiming at, the, Hye Mi chose not to care and momentarily noticed the people around who were staring at them before then looking at Jin Ho again with a carefree smile.
“They are just envious,” Hye Mi said casually.
“Iya, but..”
“Joon Jin Ho?”
The rebuke of the voice that he was so familiar with made Jin Ho suddenly managed to release his arm from Hye Mi. Jin Ho's eyes widened after his gaze shifted to the figure of Kyoung Rye who had been staring at him with her hands folded over her chest, as if asking for an explanation of what she was watching.
“What are you doing?” ask Kyoung Rye cynically.
“I? Oho! I just..”
“Who is he?” kyoung Rye asked after turning her eyes to Hye Mi.
“Dia..”
“I No Hye Mi. Jin Ho's girlfriend. Why?” hye Mi Ketus said.
There was no surprise from Kyoung Rye's face. However, the shocked Jin Ho instantly stared intently at Hye Mi.
“Hei! No Hye Mi!”
“Why? He looks shitty. Don't you like my answer?” omelette Hye Mi.
“Stop talking and go now,” Jin Ho's orders.
“Honey! Are you defending this shitty girl?!” snapped Hye Mi.
“Honey? Lover?” kyoung Rye said with a cynical smile, “Joon Jin Ho, you are absolutely outrageous.”
Kyoung Rye's eyes were almost filled with tears. He who could be said to be Jin Ho in the female version was completely enraged. He is the person who believes in Joon Jin Ho the most and is most proud of the figure in front of him, this moment so feel betrayed. He who was so quiet between his two brothers was completely silent for the entire scene he witnessed today.
“Kak, i.”.
A step Jin Ho tried to get close to Kyoung Rye but, instantly he raised both hands.
“Enough. Don't try to say anything.”
“Kak, but..”
“Joon Jin Ho, who is he really?! You picked me or picked him?!” yelled Hye Mi.
Sontak Jin Ho turned around and threw a hateful look.
“I chose it! You satisfied? Now go from before me!”
The clash of Jin Ho instantly made the entire pair of eyes look questionably at them. And Jun Su who had noticed from a distance not too far away slowly approached with one of Hye Mi's friends, Oh Yu Ra.
“Tenace. You attract too much attention,” whispered Jun Su as he pulled Jin Ho back to get away from Hye Mi who had cried, “Yu Ra, you take Hye Mi out first,” his orders were accompanied by a nod from Yu Ra.
After seeing Hye Mi leave, the atmosphere returned to normal and Jin Ho immediately threw out his hand
the one Jun Su had previously held. He turned around and found that Kyoung Hee had been standing before him without any more Kyoung Rye.
“Pe, gone? But..” Jin Ho said in a panic.
“Do not do anything that makes him more angry. You know very well how his anger is more than mine. Don't make me remind you how he beat up those high school kids who bullied you when you were in elementary school. And if you talk about it, you don't even deserve to go after him,” explains Kyoung Hee coldly.
Soon Kyoung Hee passed away and after staring at Jun Su who then nodded slowly, Jin Ho decided to follow the Big Brother with slow steps.

Long enough they were silent after Jin Ho arrived and gave him a glass of moccaccino. Kyoung Hee sipped a bit of her drink while still looking at the Han River that spread wide in front of them.
“Why are you doing this?” ask Kyoung Hee flat.
“No need to answer, you must know better why I did it,” Jin Ho said coldly.
“You hurt In Hyeong? Or fear In Hyeong hurt you?”
Instantly his gaze shifted to Kyoung Hee who seemed to be unconcerned about the reaction of the Little Sister who was frowning.
“Is my question too difficult for you to digest well? Or are you just pretending not to know?” added Kyoung Hee.
It sounded as though Jin Ho sighed softly before then looked back at the Han River.
“I've experienced too many painful things while with him.”
“That's your answer?”
“Hmm.”
“But, I don't think that's your real heart.”
Again, Jin Ho looked at Kyoung Hee who had now been looking at him with a meaningful smile. He grabbed Jin Ho's coffee cup and placed it with his coffee glass.
“Come, sit facing,” take Kyoung Hee while facing Jin Ho who then follow his orders, “try to see me as Cha In Hyeong,” he added cheerfully.
“Are you crazy?’ maki Jin Ho, “I don't want to,” he added while throwing away face.
Getting his reaction, Kyoung Hee also just held back an amused smile and pressed down on Jin Ho's two slightly stifling cheeks.
“Joon Jin Ho, just for today and to prove that he is the one you really want. If your mind or heart does not react, please start a new life without it,” explained Kyoung Hee lovingly.
A moment of hesitation seemed from the look on Jin Ho's face until a second later he nodded slowly and made Kyoung Hee smile with satisfaction and released her pressure on Jin Ho's cheek.
“Now, try to calm down and feel what is in your heart,” Kyoung Hee's last command followed by The Brother, “if you are ready, then, open your eyes slowly and look at me as Cha In Hyeong. Then reveal whatever you've been craving for these six years,”.
Slowly Jin Ho who previously closed his eyes and his gaze slowly looked up, looking into Kyoung Hee's eyes until he imagined the figure he had forgotten.
“Cha In Hyeong, you're a strange girl who changed my life. Laughter, smiles, and tears were always perfectly recorded in my brain. And until this moment I still remember how you called me when happy or sad.”
For a moment Jin Ho took a deep breath and exhaled slowly along with Kyoung Hee who was patiently waiting.
“In Hyeong, you know? When you smile and laugh, I feel the world is so fair that it has allowed me to witness your happiness. But..”
Jin Ho's words were cut off, he smiled sinisterly with his eyes twinkled and the grip of his hand so strong that Kyoung Hee gently rubbed the back of his hand.
“Stay want to continue?” ask Kyoung Hee lovingly.
“But, I felt the world was unfair when I had to see tears fall from your soothing eyes. I feel...” said Jin Ho with a stifled voice, “...a, I feel, it is because I cannot make you happy. However, I try to always be by your side and let you take refuge behind me as well as hide in my arms when the world is not on your side. Te, but, after me..”.
Jin Ho's body trembled, his cry broke and Kyoung Hee cried to see her brother who now looks so weak. In that instant, Kyoung Hee could feel the true affection of Joon Jin Ho for a girl named Cha In Hyeong. And carefully Kyoung Hee snuggles and pulls the Little Sister into her arms
Joon Jin Ho, please don't hurt yourself anymore. Don't just throw away your love for In Hyeong, because she doesn't know how you feel. Sorry, if all this time me and Kyoung Rye never understood your feelings.
