NOT THE LOVE OF DREAMS
Chapter 19's

Renata suddenly burst into my arms and rested her head on my chest. I'm fixated on what Renata's doing. I turned to the side looking Love was surprised by a hug scene that I never thought of at all.

" Ren's off Ren." I told him while trying to escape. But Renata instead shook her head without any intention of letting go of her embrace, I felt her embrace getting tighter in my body.

" YAK, NUGUYA DANGSIN? (*YAK LOE WHO?)" Shouted Jessica loudly.

Suddenly Jessica grabbed Renata's hair from behind so she couldn't help but let Renata give her hug to me in pain.

" aaaa... Apo (*sick). Who's got my hair?" Screech Renata while holding her hair because Jessi is getting pulled down her hair.

" Noona, don't pull it again." I told Jessi because I saw Renata grimacing in pain.

" LOE WHY DEFEND HIM AIDAN? WHO IS LOE HAH?" Jessica yelled at me without removing her hand from Rena's hair.

" He's my brother noona. It was noona kasian. Shame on seeing people." I said because I saw some employees watching Jessica's brutal actions. It's nothing, I've known the employees as the children of sajangnim and some of them also know Jessica as his son-in-law.

Jessica finally let go of her trap. While Renata immediately shuffled near me.

" Who is she, brother?" Asked Renata in fear.

" He's my brother." My answer.

" Huh?" I saw Rena was surprised.

" why? Do you know that I'm Aidan's brother? Loe who's my sister huh?" Jessica I see loud.

" Sttts. Noona don't be shy." I tried to stop Jessica's loud scream.

" Loh? Why shame? It should be this girl who's shy about hugging people's girlfriends. Loe what's up there? Move over!" Jessica said removing Renata from next to me then pulling Love to replace Rena. I saw Love was silent with a cold expression.

" This is really new." Jessica said.

" Loe! (Pointing Renata) I asked you, you who's the dateng-dateng hugging a guy huh?" Jessica asked Renata. His face really looks upset.

" Sister Aidan?" Call Renata with a clear face, maybe she's afraid of Jessica.

" Noona is already. I told you I knew him. He's my older brother." My answer was trying to give me some understanding but Jessica seemed to have misjudged my answer.

" Loe Belain she mulu heh Aidan. Do you want to apologize to Love? You hurt the feeling he knew." Jessica is still grumbling.

But I think it's also true what Jessica said. I must have hurt the feeling of Love even though that hug wasn't my wish at all.

" Yes, I'm sorry, baby. Renata is not who I am. He was the younger brother of my former college student. I just met him this afternoon." I immediately apologized to Love. But I saw that he was silent only once, drawing that little smile like he had to. Could love be angry with me?

" Saiden, sister Aidan has no boyfriend." Renata.

I looked at him quickly.

" Say who? I´m... I thought I had a girlfriend." My real protest covered up Jessica's reality. I'm afraid of my pretend courtship with Love was caught by Jessica and especially I'm afraid Love misunderstood me.

" Sister said it was just a coworker, right?" Renata's protest pisses me off. I tried to hold him back for not wanting to be seen that I was lying.

Jessica turned to me asking for an explanation but I instead became clumsy myself.

Long time no answer finally Jessica pulled Love away.

" It looks like you two have something to finish. Better finish it now before you clear it up with me and Love. Let's Love go. Beware if you dare to macem-macem the same Love Yes Aidan." Threaten Jessica to me and then take Love away.

" Loe finishin used to be loe's problem with this shameless girl. Let the Love I brought first calm myself." Jessica said firmly to me.

I saw Love and tried to hold her hand but she immediately shook mine.

" Love? It's really not what you think it is. I really have nothing to do with Rena. I also don't know why Rena suddenly hugged me that."

" Eonni bener Aidan. Finish your business with him first." His words were calm yet I caught the anger in his tone.

I finally gave up and looked at the departure of the two of them sadly.

" sister?" Call Renata.

I turned to him and then sighed.

" Loe, why the hell was I wearing all this?" I asked who was less accepting with his embrace earlier.

" I'm just a prank." Renata answered that kept me from thinking.

" Whim? Iseng loe said?" I hustled myself with Renata but I couldn't possibly be angry with her, let alone look at Renata's look of guilt.

" I don't know, anyway, that brother is the same noona and yeochinnya (*girlfriend) brother Aidan as well. My sister also didn't say that she had a boyfriend."

" Okay if that's me wrong because I don't. But it can't be alesan loe hugging me right? Loe is also nobody I'm Ren." My protest.

" Yes sorry, brother." Reply Renata lowered her head.

" I want to..."

As I was about to leave, Renata held my hand.

" Where is Aidan going?"

" To follow my girlfriend. We're done, right? I hope you don't behave like that anymore."

" But we can still see you, brother?" He said without taking his hand from me.

I just nodded in answer.

" Please let go of my hand, I don't want people here to think I betrayed my girlfriend. This will misunderstand Ren." I object to his attitude.

Finally Rena let go of her hand and I immediately left her.

I rushed to the parking lot and immediately called Love to find out where she was. I made a few calls but it seems like Love paid him no heed. I finally decided to call Jessica, but she didn't pick her up even though I did call her a few times.

" This is why these two girls are so unwilling to answer my phone?" I'm frustrated.

I'm really afraid Love misunderstood me. I forgot that I and Cinta are just dating pretend but why is Love so angry? Is this just her reasoning because Jessica is nearby so Love continues her acting so it feels more real that she is hurt by me?

" Schrgghh." I hit the wheel of the car hard and then hit my forehead there.

" Mianhae (*I'm sorry ) Love." I muttered to myself when no one would be able to hear my apology.

I tried a few more times but still they both ignored my phone call. I finally decided to go home.
