Not Him
29
Hyunjin and Minho were sitting on the living room couch watching TV. Since then Hyunjin just kept quiet, Minho so surprised to see his brother like that. Usually he is very chatty, a little bit nagging him. But now the girl was just silent not making a sound. Even Minho was well aware that Hyunjin's voice sounded vibrating, like he was crying. But Minho didn't want to ask much, if Hyunjin was silent like this means he was in trouble.
“Minho-ya, have you ever been in love?” Hyunjin asked hesitantly, he never talked about romance with his sister.
Minho nodded, “of course. I've been 17 years, it's not new to me.”
“Mwo?” Hyunjin looked up at Minho, “So you've had yeojachingu?” ask Hyunjin curiously.
Again Minho nodded, “have you never been a teenager huh noona? Of course I've been dating.” Hyunjin looked at him in shock. He never knew it, Minho never told him.
“then, if there are two yeoja who like you at the same time how? one Yeoja likes you, but the other yeoja is not necessarily sincerely like you but you also like that yeoja.”
Minho scrunched his forehead confused, “I don't understand what you say noona, don't twist so.”
“ah, look. You like a Yeoja, he doesn't like you. And at the same time there is a Yeoja who declares love for you. Which one will you choose?” Hyunjin looked at him expectantly. Who knew he would come up with a solution from Minho.
Minho was sickened for a moment, trying to think. “I will choose the yeoja I like.” Minho replied quickly.
“why is that?”
“begini, if I choose that yeoja who likes me, it might be good because he likes me too. But wouldn't that hurt her because I love other yeoja? I will also hurt my own feelings.”
“woahh. I never expected Minho-ya.” Hyunjin looked at her sister in amazement. Now he began to get a little enlightenment from his sister.
“aish, you overdo noona. I've even faced more complicated problems.”
“apa?”
“not only two yeoja, but four yeoja who like me, while yeoja that I assess already have namjachingu. Isn't that very confusing?”
“Mwo? What do you want to be a playboy? basic small children.”
“Yes! stop talking to me, little boy! I've dated more than you, noona. Ah, I never even once knew you had a boyfriend. Did you get an arranged marriage because you didn't sell?” Minho immediately ran into his room after saying those words. He does not want to be the victim of the brother's tantrums.
“AWAS KAU CHOI MINHO!”
Hyunjin smiled, she already knew what to do now. He has to take action on his own, the problem will not be solved if he just stay still and accept the situation.

Hyunjin walked a little hesitantly into the cafe that had not been visited for several days. He felt awkward, as if he was a stranger to this place.
“you're coming? I thought you wouldn't be here anymore.” Someone patted her shoulder from behind.
“hahaha.. What are you doing here? as customer or employee?” jongwoon asked trying to tease.
“my uniform still exists right?” tanya Hyunjin hesitated.
Jongwoon instantly nodded with a smile, “Of course.”
Hyunjin changed clothes immediately. Looking at the surroundings, Kyuhyun was nowhere. ‘Surely he hasn't come’ thought the girl.
Hyunjin immediately carried out his duties as usual. But this time it was different, because he did it with pleasure, instead of being forced and grumbling complaining as usual.
“Ryeowook-ah, tiramissue for table number 3. Can it be fast?” Hyunjin immediately looked at the sound of it, her eyes round in shock. He came, he finally came. Why hasn't Hyunjin known since?
“Hyunjin.” Kyuhyun looked surprised to see Hyunjin standing in the kitchen.
“Ryeowook is shopping, I will prepare it. You just wait.” Hyunjin deftly prepared the order tiramissue cake that Kyuhyun had requested. Kyuhyun could only go silent observing Hyunjin's movements. He smiled silently, feeling happy to finally be able to see the girl again in this place. Doesn't that mean he can have a lot of time with Hyunjin?
“ini.”Hyunjin handed him the tray containing the two small plates of cake, Kyuhyun remained silent.
“Kyu..tis.”
“oh, sorry. All right, thank you.” Kyuhyun accepted it clumsily then walked away.
Hyunjin could only look at him confused, ‘what is with that name? it was like seeing a ghost. Is it because I saw me? but I'm not a ghost.’
_
“why are you here? didn't.”
Not yet Kyuhyun finish his talk, Hyunjin immediately cut. “ in the agreement, there are still three days I have to work here.”
“you can consider the agreement void if you want.” Kyuhyun said as he sat on the chair. It's a break now, and no visitors happen to come.
“our agreement never cancels.”
“you torture yourself.”
“I did this so I could meet you.”
“Mwo?”
