Maybe I Love You
05. Truth and Mistake
As soon as Sena immediately rushed in to bring her groceries because she was too late. “for the protesters!”
“granny sorry I---“
Sena was shocked to see her grandfather coming and there were also guests in her house, she was not told they had guests.
“forgive me, I don't know that..”.
“Sena-ya, this is Park Tae Jo's grandfather's family. You remembered? you used to play together with her granddaughter here.” The girl shook her head, since the accident Sena did not remember her childhood. All he remembered was his mother, his father, his grandmother and his grandfather.
“you're so beautiful you've grown up, you don't remember me?” the woman named Ahn Mi Rae hugged Sena, the girl gasped but from the look on her face indicated that she was really comfortable in her arms.
“forgive me.” Sena felt guilty, though,
“it's okay I understand, this is Uncle Park Gyu Tae and this is my mother-in-law Jung Hae Ra.”
“annyeong haseyeo.” Sena bowed her regards, greetings,
“why Jae hasn't come yet?” ask Grandpa Park
“sorry I came late.”
Sena feels familiar with the voice of the person who just entered her grandfather's house, “that's my son, Park Jaeha.”
Hearing the name that Mr. Park mentioned earlier made Sena check towards the door, her eyes widened seeing that the person standing was the same person as the person she was thinking about this second.
“neo!”say they together
“you've met?” ask Ms. Park because she saw the reaction of Sena and her son
“Jaeha-ya, this is the little girl whose picture mom gave you last night. You remember now?”
Jaeha was also surprised that the girl in the photo was a girl who had no shame and the bars. The world was really narrow! Plus the girl is her childhood friend, why can't Jaeha remember?
“better we have dinner first, I'm already very hungry.” Grandpa Choi's
Grandpa Choi and Grandpa Park are really familiar going to the dining room even if they embrace each other, but Sena's feelings are really bad her feelings say there will be one big thing after dinner tonight.
Seeing Jaeha make Sena remember that night, his mind began to get dirty imagining things that he did not need to imagine!
‘Why is the average handsome guy a playboy? I even call him handsome!’ inner Sena
But he did not deny that Jaeha was handsome let alone seen from the side like now because they were sitting next to each other in the dining area.
“I cook simple food, hope you guys like it.” Grandma Nam
“simple is better.” replied Grandma Jung
“little time they always just scramble for food, but now they seem shy.” Grandma Jung commented after noticing Jaeha and Sena who were silent to each other.
“their mothers have only met again after a long time, naturally rhyme? After all they are not little children anymore, they are adults.” Mrs Park said
“Jaeha-ya, forgive Sena if she can't remember you. Sena had an accident as a child so her childhood memories were erased.” Grandma Nam
“ne.” I don't know what he has to answer because he also forgot to remember about his childhood with Sena.
Nam's grandmother had Jaeha and Sena take a walk in the back garden on the grounds of familiarizing themselves with each other because they had not met for a long time.
Almost 15 minutes they walked through the park but no words came out of their mouths, only sometimes they heard a heavy breath they let out.
“so we're childhood friends?”
“you should remember because the contents of your head are not broken.”
“after remembering you used to be nothing like this, why are you changing now?”
“you remember apparently what kind of person I am. Everyone will change! You yourself forgetting me means you've changed, right?”
Jaeha had to be extra patient because Sena could always answer each question and make it difficult for him to answer it again.
“by the way your parents where? Why don't they exist?”
Sena stopped her steps to make Jaeha also stop, “I don't know.”
“where maybe you don't know, you're his daughter.”
“i told you I don't know and I don't care!” the tone of Sena's speech began to rise, Jaeha realized it was better for him to change the subject and ask his mother the rest.
“well, I'm sorry for asking.”
Sena is back walking, “why did your family come to my house?”
“home kakemu.”
“iya is up! Just answer!”
Jaeha argued that hyerim was not told about their matchmaking so it was better that Jaeha did not tell him either.
“noah. I'm just coming with.”
A servant came to them both, “nona, sir. The big lady called you.”
“you're getting married in 2 weeks.”
His grandfather's words were like lightning in broad daylight, Sena was really surprised he couldn't believe his grandfather made such a decision without talking about it first.
“grandpa, janga joking. I just don't remember anything about him why even.... instead get married?!”.
Sena glanced at Jaeha, the man showed absolutely no reaction of surprise, “you already know?” Sena was totally lied to, though,
“you used to plan to get married when you were an adult, now your wish is realized.”
“grandfather it's just a little boy talk. That's monkey love! Lying if she doesn't have a boyfriend, lying if she doesn't love someone!” Sena pointed at Jaeha
“say you have someone you love, right?” Sena asked for her answer from Jaeha,
“you also disagree with this wedding plan? say!” the girl's tears were already flowing down her cheeks
Jaeha does disagree, but he loves his mother more than anything “I agree. (i was forced)”
“grandmother, grandma knows I like someone. Tell me that, grandma! Tell grandpa!”
“Sena-ya you can't refuse. It's for your own good.” Sena was disappointed with her grandmother,
“grandfather I beg you, this is not true right?” Sena turns to plead with Grandpa Park, and,
“forgive me Sena-ya, this decision is already unanimous. We promised long ago that we would marry you both if you were grown.”
Sena left just like that leaving them with her disappointment, her feelings shattered her grandmother would not even defend her. It was as if they did not want happiness for him.
The girl was crying so much in her room, after she had been feeling happiness all day why suddenly now a cloud was stalking her?
Sena wants to contact Minho but his phone is taken by his grandmother,
“don't contact him again!”
“why didn't grandma tell Grandpa that I liked Minho oppa? Grandma should have said!”
“you can't marry her! You can't get married!”
“why can't?! Tell me why you can't!? Is it because she's not as rich as Jaeha?”
“dia's your sister!”
Sena was silent her chest felt so tight her grandmother like throwing a bomb right in her heart,
‘what kind of fact is this? sister?’
“one father different mother. He's your brother! You can't marry her!”
“granny don't joke! My father Kim Han Soo, our clan is different What does grandma mean?”
“your mother is married to Lee Byung Jae, after one year of her marriage suddenly a woman came with a 5 year old little boy and he is the son of your father. Your mother didn't accept it and they ended up divorcing without knowing your mother was pregnant. After you were born Hwaran re-married to Kim Han Soo, your father is now.”
Her legs felt limp, the girl fell on the floor of that fact as if to make her world crumble. Why was he being lied to, why had they not been honest with him long ago?
“then you left home without my knowledge, and Minho found you. You don't want to part from him you want to be always close to Minho and that has kept me close to you until now. I do it for your happiness because you always cry to meet your mother and Minho is the one who finally makes you smile.”
“mom should have told me! You guys should have told me!” Nam's grandmother hugged Sena who was crying harder and harder, and that also made her cry.
“forgive grandma, this is granny wrong.”
“why he never told me! Why?”
*flashback*
“dia your sister, are you out of your mind?!” minho's right face was flushed
“i can't lie to my feelings if I love her.”
“throw away your feelings for her and tell her the truth to Sena.”
“I can't do it, Sena also has the same feeling as me.”
“I let you stay by his side just to make him cheerful and happy not to be like this.”
“then from that please bless us, I will make her happy I will never make her hurt. And as long as grandma knows I still will never let go of it no matter what.”
“you are already insane!”
**
It is the fifth day after the events of that night, the inauguration of her wedding date and the fact that Minho is her stepbrother.
His grandmother must have been busy preparing for his wedding, Sena never even went out of the room after the incident.he just told the maid to get what she wanted.
Minho even called him dozens of times but Sena was reluctant to pick up the call from him, not even the message from sujin he replied at all. He doesn't want to communicate with anyone.
Triinnng!
Minho:
Let's meet up!
Sena actually did not want to meet Minho, but he also wanted to know why Minho never told him the truth or did Minho really not know that he was his sister?
As soon as Sena saw Minho waiting for her, Sena slowly approached Minho. The fact about Minho, the kiss that night their first date all flashed suddenly made the tears in his eyes pile up.
“you're okay?”
“you think I'm okay?”
“Sena - yes listen to me-“
“why aren't you being honest with me?! Why are you covering up the reality?!”
“because I really love you. I don't want to lose you I want to stay with you not as a sister.”
“but it can't. That can't happen!” the tears that he had been holding back from now spilled down his cheeks.
“you love me? You like me?” Sena nodded, she also could not lie about her feelings she was comfortable being near Minho, she was always happy when near Minho.
“if you really love me, let's go.” Minho handed her a plane ticket,
“we go from here, far from here.”
“but I can't, this. This has been wrong since the beginning.”
“i don't care! I just want to be with you forever that's all. Do you want to marry someone you don't know?”
“dia my little friend Jaeha, she is no one else.”
“you remember him? do you remember that?” minho's question left him speechless, Sena did not remember anything about Jaeha.
“I'll be waiting for you tomorrow morning at the airport. I hope you come and come with me.”
