The Sky Is Yours If You Remember Us (CHAPTER 13)

CHAPTER 13:  the secret is out....

 :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

The sun was almost gone. The orange ray has started to overshadow the blue sky. Taeyang and Gwibin walked in the village. They houses surrounding the area was like any other traditional Korean houses. The resort is famous for maintaining is cultural architecture and the folks living in the area help maintain its authenticity. They walked side by side coming in and out of shop houses. They bought some bread, tinned canned food because at night, Seungri and Daesung tend to get hungry. And for dinner they bought large portion of soup, meat and steamed vegetables.  

“Gwibin…” he took the bags the she was carrying. He is as charming as ever with his eye smile, humble word and soft voice.

“What does she mean ‘holding back’ just now? The two of you seems to be dealing with something.”

“Oh... Don’t tell Jiyong-shi about this okay….” Gwibin told her what she and Sora talked about the other day. He remains quiet and only exhaled the air when his chest felt heavy. 

“For some reason, we don’t know what to do. But I do think Sora is waiting for the perfect timing.” He saw the worry and sorrow in her eyes. Her pink flushed cheek seems to match her brown eyes.

All of a sudden Taeyang started singing.

“Girl, I need a girl! A kind of girl that looks better in jeans than a skirt

A girl that will eat the kimchi fried rice that I make instead

A girl who looks young even though she’s old

I like that kind of girl

(Know what I mean)”

 “Why are you suddenly singing?”

Teayang then started dancing in the snow. But his moves failed as his feet kept sinking in the snow. 

“You look silly. Thank goodness no one is here to see THAT!” she laughed just as soon as he fell in the snow.

“You look a bit sad. Thought I might cheer you up. I know you’re worried about the situation but you and I both know it’s only up to them.”

“I guess. So I really think I should just have fun! Since I am…with you...” she smacked her lips. Joys filled her inside when Taeyang smiled his biggest smile until his cheek bone was almost up to his forehead.

 They do not need any words of confession such as I like you or I love you to realize how they felt towards each other. Sometimes silence in the right word. Silence can be the perfect explanation. Yes, they do like each other ever since the walk in the park, the waffle moments and especially when their conversation grew from casual to personal. Their empty melancholic heart was turning into something new. Even the snow would melt if it can fell on their honest heart. Even the birds could lose its wing if they landed on their love.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

The both of them dozed off after they finished making love. (OKAY, I HAD TO SAY MAKING LOVE! I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO SAY. LOL) Jiyong woke up after feeling his throat was dry. The cold weather dehydrated him more than usual. He was still holding Sora, his face sunk in her messy hair. He loved the smell of lavender from the hair and the faint smell from her body that he was unsure of, but he loved it. He loved the combination of the pure and simple girl he was keeping away from the rest of the world.  

He rolled to the side carefully and slowly. He stared at the beauty on his bed and at the back of his mind, an unconscious thought appeared. “How long will this secret last?” He ignored the devilish whisper. He then covered her with the long, warm duvet. He couldn’t stand to see, no, he was too worried if the more he stares, the more he will want her.

He left the room with a heavy heart. He loved her. He honestly does but actions are valid than his word, than his promise. He walked to the kitchen, grabbed a cup of plain water and drank it with a single gulp. He heard a knock on the door.

“Didn’t they have they keys?” he forgot he was shirtless and was wearing only sweatpants. He touched the wooden handled door and slowly turned the knob clockwise.

“Hey! I guess I got the right chalet!” Mina, the young artist of YG ambushed him. She forced herself in.

“So, are you alone?” he saw the hope in her eyes. Her curly hair was covering half of her face. Her perfect curve and the tight skinny jeans she was wearing made Jiyong uncomfortable. He noticed she was staring at his chest ever since she was at the door. Jiyong stayed quiet and kept thinking of how to get her out before Sora wakes up. 

“Yes..no… I mean, I’m with the members but they went out for a while. They’ll be back soon.”

“Jiyong oppa…”

“Let’s not drop the formality okay.” Jiyong decided to be hard on her. He wanted his word to sound strict but he did not want to hurt her. 

“Okay. Sunbae… Well, I saw you guys at the lobby. So I asked for your room number. I wanted to ask if you would like to have dinner with me.” In korea, it’s normal for the girl to ask first. 

Jiyong mind was filled with excuses. He just has to pick one. He wanted to tell her Sora is inside the room and that she should leave.

“Sunbae…” her soft voice was pleading for an answer.

“Jiyong-shi….” He recognized the voice that was behind him. He saw Sora wearing nothing but his oversize shirt. Her body was transparent from the shirt revealing her cleavage and her bare legs. His heart jumped at the sight of Sora. 

“Hey...” he walked toward her and kissed her fore head. “Did the cold wake you up.?”

She saw Mina staring oddly at them. She wanted to make a point to Mina that there was an invincible bond between Jiyong and her but her body wasn’t responding with the evil plans in her mind. Embracing him in front of her would tell that they have something, a peck on the lips would make her hope on Jiyong disappear but she did nothing. 

“So the rumor is true….” Mina spoke first. 

“Sort of…” Jiyong answered and held her hand.

“So you are with that tramp…” Mina words sliced Sora pride.

“What the hell did you just said?!” she stepped forward but suddenly stopped her pace when she realized how she looked like. Wearing his shirt made her look like nothing especially when they were hiding their romance. She really felt like a tramp. The cuss coming from a perfect poetry in motion weakened her spirit. 

“I think you should go, Mina.” Jiyong said. 

“Don’t worry. I won’t tell anyone.” She walked towards the front door “Who would believe me anyway.” She snorted feeling disgusted seeing Sora.

“Hey,,,” he held her. That was the only word Jiyong could say. He too was baffled by the sudden drama.

“I should change before the rest comes back.”

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Dinner was filled with laughter as Seungri made jokes about how TOP couldn’t keep his balance on the board.

“He was like ‘aahhh!!! Stupid board’.! Hyung, you should have seen his face!!” Seungri jumped on the table mimicking back his hyung. They were all gathered at the living room, enjoying the heat from the fireplace. The room was even more beautiful at night. 

“You little…” TOP quickly push him off the table but he landed safely.

Sora and Jiyong acted like nothing happened. They decided to keep it a secret.

“So what did you two do today, Jiyong?” TOP asked. “They bought food, we went snowboarding. You?”

Before he could even answer, Seungri had to say something stupid “Hyung, you guys didn’t do it, did you?!!”

Jiyong and Sora just smiled at his idiotic behavior. “I won’t be sleeping in the room tonight!” Taeyang blurted. The rest laughed after hearing that.

“Oh yeah, hyung, remember Mina?” Daesung said looking at Jiyong. The name made Sora swallowed her drink forcefully causing her to cough.

“Kenchana??” Jiyong placed her arm around her. “Yeah... What about her?” 

“I met her just now. She wanted us to join her for lunch tomorrow.”

Gwibin and Taeyang exchanged glances. 

“Sure, why not.” Sora was the one who made the decision.
