A Blinder

A Blinder
There's Flavors


At night at Jaemin's residence....


In Jisung's room, Dad was scolding Jisung for not wanting to work.


"Dad sent you to America because I thought you could go after Jaemin or maybe just like him. But you are useless." Hardik Jisung's father hit his son's head with the documents he was holding.


Areun peeked out from the door that was not tightly closed. A sense of compassion emerged suddenly from within his heart seeing Jisung who could only be bowed helplessly.


"You're still hiding at home instead of having to go to work. What are you doing I'm schooled for?"


"I'm scared! I'm afraid I can't be what you expect." His voice sounded sobbing.


"You are not reliable." Jisung's father walked towards the door. Areun quickly left from there.


"I understand how you feel Jisung." Areun said in his heart. "It's hard to be in your position. You are too pressed from the top but on the one hand you must always give up. No one's trying to strengthen you, they're just constantly corrupting you, knocking you down mentally."

"It's a burger!" My aunt came from outside.


"It's a beef burger for you guys." Bibi gives a cow burger to one of her twins, Jisung and also to Areun. "It's a chicken burger for you."


"I don't like Mom's chicken burger." Answer the twin of the other aunt.


"Then. It's." Bibi takes a beef burger from Jisung's hand and exchanges it for a chicken burger.


"I also want mom's cow burger." Jisung Protest.


"You must yield to your brother. You know." Jisung grimaced sadly.


"I don't like beef, can I change it for a chicken burger." Areun.


"Do you prefer chicken?" Tanya Bibi swapped out Jisung and Areun's burgers.


"Yes." Yeah." Areun ate his chicken burger crazily while smiling. While Jisung only noticed Areun who was willing to give up for her sake. Finally Jisung ate his burger while smiling with his sisters.


When my grandfather was playing chess.


"Grandfather, wait up! I have an opponent for grandpa to play chess."


"really?"


Areun came out of Grandpa's room. By lying to Jisung that something had happened to Grandpa, Areun managed to bring Jisung to grandfather's room.


"Here's it playing grandpa!" Areun is happy.


"What's? You're lying to me?" Jisung asked confusedly.


"It's sitting down." Areun forced Jisung to sit across from his grandfather.


"Finally Grandpa has a chess friend." Said Grandpa was happy to tidy up his chess piece.


"Well grandfather cheated, I lose this way." Grumpily Jisung but smiled. Grandfather laughed as well as Areun clapped his hands.


Jisung looked at Areun who was laughing loosely. "This girl is beautiful when she laughs. He's like a happy virus." Thought Jisung in his heart until unusual vibrations appeared in him. His face turned red when he realized it


At 21:30 at Jaemin's residence.


"In the darkness it was terrifying." Areun said suddenly from behind Jisung who was daydreaming in the park.


"What are you doing here?" Jisung asked in shock.


"Is there anyone here?" Areun asked pretending to be surprised.


"It's a ghost." Kelakar Jisung is upset.


"Like Jisung's voice." Said Areun fumbling with his hand looking for Jisung's figure.


"I am indeed Jisung." His screech held Areun's hand to show himself there.


"What are you doing here?" Ask Areun.


"I have to ask. What are you doing here at night?"


"Fresh air. Sumpek inside. Jaemin hasn't come home from work, grandpa's asleep. I'm lonely."


"When you go to the park at night you're not so lonely?"


"Stay quiet, for to me in the crowd I will still feel alone, for in my sight I am empty." Areun said bowed sadly.


"What is the difference between a man who is in his sight crowded but still lonely?" Jisung asked her feelings.


"In contrast, he who saw the crowd only felt lonely in his heart. But for the man who cannot see, loneliness is in his sight and heart." Answer Areun. "They both had to turn on their hearts so that the loneliness could be lost."


"Live the heart?"


"Yes, if I turn on my heart by looking for a friend I can talk to, exchange ideas, and joke with. Like with Jaemin and Grandpa. If I only saw the whereabouts of Mom, Dad, Aunt and Uncle how my heart would be so empty."


"Can I turn my heart?" Ask Jisung.


"could certainly. Find someone you can trust to exchange ideas, or just joke around with." Areun replied smiling.


"Is there anyone in this house like that for me?"


"There must be, it is you who must open your heart, that the person may enter. I've given way so you can get close to grandfather. I hope it helps you a little." Areun answered walking into the house.


"What about you? Are you going to get into my heart too? Revive my heart?" Jisung said inwardly then smiled thinking of Areun. "What the fuck am I. She's my sister's wife. Tetaapii, brother married her not out of love. Can I hope?" Jisung lowered his head staring deep into the sky where the moon was bright there.
