Chapter 23

JOSS POV

I don't really want to give Song Rin any false hope that Nunew is alive but the moment I saw the other Song Rin that's living in Korea right now, I immediately told him about it.

I showed him the picture I took with the Song Rin I met in the reunion and he was too shocked to even react as he sees someone that looks exactly like him.

So the pass months after I came back from Korea. I spent all the time to hired all the best private investigator to dig into the past. But they still couldn't find out if Nunew was really alive, and is now living as Song Rin.

If I could find a way to cover up all Song Rin's track and make them believe that he was really dead. His family was even more good at covering theirs. So we only have an assumption and got no bases at all. Now Song Rin really believes that Nunew is alive and it was really him in there.

But the problem right now is him, the real Song Rin trying to go back home in Korea to find out the truth if it was really his twin brother in there.

I still remember how he was broken when he found out that he had a twin that just died because of an accident.

It was the day he woke up from a 4 months being in coma.

I was even thankful that I was there when he decided to jump on the river. I had save him from drowning on that day.

I thought he would really die when I take him in the hospital. Thank God the doctor saved him, but the problem was he got into coma and when he open his eyes it was already 4 months.

He told me everything he went through and then I immediately thought of helping him find his own parents. He got a picture of them that he hide on him when he decided to kill himself.

I hired a private investigator and that's when we found out that his parents were living in Thailand. The place where I was born and where does my family business was.

So I decided to take him to his family. But when we arrived there we both figured out that the only son, his brother died in an accident just a week ago, and the most shocking thing is that brother of him was his identical twins. He felt betrayed and was broken in the most inexplicable way. We even visited the grave late at night to make sure that the information we know was right.

When we were there he cried for like forever saying sorry to his brother that he had been too late to come to him. If he was devastated to find out the truth about his identity he was even more heartbroken to know that the one who he had shared a womb with was dead and gone forever.

He could only grave for his death and he couldn't do anything about. He even wishes that it should have been him that has to die and not his brother.

The hardest part was when he wanted to visit him freely but he couldn't. He decided to hide and never goes to his true family, feeling ashamed that he was the one alive and not his brother. He couldn't face his family as it may bring more heartaches to them if they find out about him and see him. They would all be reminded of the painful reality. That the one that looks exactly like his brother was here alive and breathing while the other one is dead.

He doesn't want them to be reminded by the pain as they were all coping from their graving.

"Song Rin. I don't know what I would do if something will happened to you if you go back there." He tried to explain again. Cuz shit is all shit that family who kidnapped him and thought for soo long that it was his real family was dangerous.

"I know I said that you should go back to make them pay for what they did to you, but right now things were now too complicated out there. I can't take a risk for you to go back when I know they would do anything to hurt you again." I said again holding back my emotions. I am really angry and frustrated that even for the longest I couldn't do anything to ease his problems.

"What do you want me to do Phi Joss. Leave my brother out there with those people that I know would definitely hurt him? I can't just do that, Phi." As his tears rapidly flows down on his eyes.

"But we can't be sure for now that he was really your brother, Nong. What if he's not. We can't risk and lead you in danger." He said again.

"But what if that was really my twin brother in there Phi?" He insisted making me speechless. He was right though. What if he was really his twin brother, Nunew.

"I can't imagine what things they had done to him for many years, Phi." He said. I felt his knees go weak, as he was shaking with fear of what that family had done to his brother. I immediately held him firmly taking him to his bed to sit.

"Hush now Nong. We will take him back. Whatever it takes we will save him from that family. Don't worry." I said making him stop crying as I hug him tight.

"I should see him Phi. Please let me see him." As he was begging through his sobbed.

"Yes, you would see him, nong. You will." This time giving in to him and promising him.

++

It takes an hour for me to calm him down before he unconsciously falls asleep. I laid him down to his bed and covered him with his blanket. He never had a good sleep for months as he was thinking of all the possibilities he had thought. Right now i know he was stressed with all the happenings and what would possibly be happening to his brother in korea.

I held his hand firmly and carees his smooth and beautiful face.

All I had been wishing was to see him smile genuinely again. A smile that shines brighter than the sun. A smile I had never seen again for many years.

"I would make sure to bring back your smile again Sonson." I smile weakly remembering the first time I call him that.

"Song Rin, right." I said making him look at me in shock. "I saw you're good at playing piano." I complimented him as he squinted and frowned looking at my face.

"What? Am I too handsome in your eyes." I said jokingly making him sneer and sigh in bored

"No! you're not that handsome." He said before he turned around leaving me in shock. No one has ever told me that I'm not handsome in front of my eyes. When I recover from the shock I decided to call him out.

"Hey! You Sonson, Even if I'm not handsome in your eyes at least I am with others." I shouted making everyone look at me.

He stops and looks around as we both got the attention of the other people on the street. He look back and walk towards me making me step back as I saw how serious his face is.

"You playboy of the campus stay away from me." He immediately said as he pointed his finger on me. Then he turn around but stop and look at me from head to toe.

"You still don't look handsome to me even in a second look." He said making me speechless.

"And it's not Sonson you freak. Song Rin is my name." As he turn around this time walking away.

Of course I know his name is Song Rin. I was just too accustomed to our country as we would always be repeating the names of people, that's why I unconsciously called him that.

No I can't just accept a defeat just because he said

I'm not handsome.

"Fine Sonson. If I'm not handsome in your eyes. I'll make you see it one day." I shouted again this time he didn't stop and only went inside the bus and ignore me completely.

___

How I wish to see again that fighter Song Rin.

Now if I wanted him to be back to the person he used to be, I need to do everything I can to help him.

I stand and leave him to rest. I went out and take my phone immediately. I called someone that I know can help me with things I needed. Even if I don't have the plan to. I need to swallow my pride and call him for help.

"Phi Joss?" He immediately ask as soon he answered the call.

"Yes, it's me Joong." I said. Even if we don't have that conflict relationship but both our mothers had. Him being my stepbrother is way complicated relationship than anything else.

"What make you call Phi.?" He said as his voice has a hint of excitement. I never really call for anything like this. We both have our own success in business without relying to our father and we respect each other. It's just that we're too prideful to call each other for a help.

"I need your help about something Nong." I said as I stated everything I need him to know and everything I want him to do.

I just hope everything would be okay.

*******************

SEO HYUNG'S POV

"Everything has now been settled Abeoji. We'll be going to Germany next week." I said as I was sitting on the couch drinking some tea.

"If you failed on this. Seo hyung I'm not going to help you anymore." He said a he sigh.

"How could I even tolerate you until now." As he continue looking tired of me. I know he was now tired of helping me from time to time, but he can't do anything about it. I'm his daughter and he couldn't change that fact.

"This would be the last time. I'm handing the company to James and live on the other country with Song Rin." I said. I've been planning to do this for long, and this time it wouldn't be move again as it should be happy.

"I hope you take care of him then. Don't let it end like what happened to the real Song Rin.0" He said as I look away. Thinking back at the past would only make me feel worsted.

I know I failed to be a great mother to him up until he killed himself, but this time I'm not gonna do that kind of mistake with him. I'll make sure he stays with me just like I wanted to.

"Poor Chai. He'd lost his two sons without him knowing that you get it all from him." His father said again.

"I just got lucky abeoji." I said as I sip the last tea in my cup and place it down in the center table.

"You're really an evil Seo hyung." He said and I laugh at what he just said.

"And I'm your daughter remember. That means you've raised an evil of a daughter abeoji." I smirk at him making him stand in anger.

"If I could just change that. I would do that." He said fuming in anger.

"Oh come on abeoji. You've come this far why not make it to the end huh." As I smile at him.

"My mistake of taking you out of that mental institution." This time I laugh at him so hard. God his so funny. Sometime I would come to think if his really serious with everything he said or just being funny and all.

"But you did Abeoji! Hahahahah." In second I change to my a serious mode. "If you didn't just feel ashamed that people would know that you have a crazy daughter you could have locked me up. But then you didn't. So here I am now. Doing what I know is I deserve father." I said and I stand wiping my dress as if there's really a dirt.

"I deserve the payment of the hell you put me through. You marry me to him even if you knew he would never loved me." I said.

"Because that's what you want. So don't you blame me. You begged me for it, Seo hyung." He replied in anger.

"Ohh my bad. I forgot that I beg you to it. But you shouldn't have agreed to your daughter's madness abeoji. Hahahahah. You made a big mistake." As I walk out of his office leaving him fuming with so much anger.

"But thanks to that abeoji. I got to have Chai's two precious twins son. It's just that I lost the other one, but I'm not losing the last one that's standing." This time only talking to myself while walking to the elevator.

Then suddenly my phone rings. I immediately take it out and answer it.

"Yes, Bomjong. What have you found out." I ask my most trusted men. The man who had been working with my family since. The one who's been looking out for my son at the moment.

"It's bad news Ms. Park. We didn't looked it through. Zee Pruk Wang is somehow connected to the Keerati family." He said making me look at my phone afraid if I'm hearing it all wrong.

"What did you just say?" Trying to hear if he had really said what I had heard. As I am shock hearing him said it.

"Zee Pruk Wang is Nunew Chawarin Keerati's bestfriend Ms. Park." He said making my eyes bulge as my hand shaking with the truth he just said out.

"Are you kidding me!" As I shouted at him. I don't care what he would be thinking. I'm angry right now that I could kill him immediately if he had just been in front of me.

"Bomjong, I'm going to kill you, you fucking bastard. How could you miss this information, you fool." I shouted again but then the lift stopped and someone came.

I smiled at the employee as he greeted me, pretending that nothing was wrong with me.

"Okay. I'll call you later." I said on the phone politely like I didn't just shout at him a second ago on. But inside of me I really wanted to strangle anyone to death at this moment. But I can't just commit a sinful crime inside of my fathers company.

When the lift arrives at the ground floor. I immediately walked out and went to my car as the valet handed me my keys.

I drove out of the place immediately.

When I was on the highway I drove in full speed couldn't care less of how faster I was driving. I drive from left to right avoiding all the cars that's on my way.

When I turn my car in an intersection I couldn't control anymore and crash on the signage pole that instantly fall and crash on the car that just pass by.

"Shit." I curse out as I feel my head spin as I hit my head on stirring wheel.

When I calm myself I took my phone out and call him immediately.

"Bomjong. I crash my car. Come at the intersection

Fix this things now." As I told him.

"Are you okay Ms. Park?" he ask in a worry.

"JUST FCKNG COME HERE. YOU IDIOT." I shouted at him.

"Yes Ms. Park. My men will be there in a minute and I'll be coming in no time" he replied

"Okay, and there's a car that's been badly damage. The driver is not getting out. I think he's dead." I said nonchalantly. I couldn't really care less about others as I just want nothing but to go home now. But the problem is my car now damage.

"You don't have to worry of anything Ms. Park. We will take care of it." before he puts down the call.

After a minute pass five black cars park at the scene.  I should be thankful that the place is dark and only few cars are passing this road and unfortunately the car that's been crash by the big signage pole that fall was one of those few who drive in this road.

The men came out from the black van as one of them approach my car knock on my window. I unlock the door and he open it.

"Are you okay Ms. Park?" He ask as I step outside of the car and hold my throbbing head.

"You're bleeding ma'am." He said and before anything else all my father's private medical personnel came to help me clean my small wound before they put a bandage.

These people are our families private agent and personal who takes over every problems of our family, most especially my problems.

Then a car stop and came out the person I was so angry with.

"Ms. Park how are you." As he walk faster with a worry look on his face. When he's in front of me I immediately stood up and without a warning a slap him hard on the face as everyone look down and not wanting to interfere.

"This is all your fault Bomjong." I shouted at him.

"How can you be soo stupid to not see it through from the beginning."  Now my head ache even more as I got this big problem with me now.

"I'm sorry Ma'am. This is all my fault." As he bow his head. I sigh in frustration. I don't even know what to do anymore as this is getting out of hand.

"Then what should you do about it?" I ask him but this time he stayed silent.

"If you don't have any ways. Kill that Zee Pruk Wang immediately." I said, but instead of saying yes he look at me unbelievably.

"Ms. Park I'm so sorry, but I refuse to do that. We couldn't cover this kind of thing if I follow your instructions, and most importantly Chairman Park would not let it slide." He said making me feel more frustrated.

"Then do something you moron. He is seeing my son. What if he would remember? I should better struggle you to death Bomjong." As I shouted at him again. I was about to slap him again but one of his personnel interrupted.

"Mr. Kim!" He said before he bows down to me. I sneer at him as he was making me feel anxious with his sudden interruption. People couldn't really know where to get in between serious conversation.

"I'm so sorry Ms. Park." He said before he turn to Bomjong.

"The driver of the car was hit badly with the pole if we take him to the hospital now he should be save in time." He said.

"Are you knew?" I suddenly interrupts him. He look down and nodded.

"Didn't you train this kind of people Bomjong?" I ask Bomjong as he bow down and said sorry for his people's behavior.

"If that driver is still alive, the best thing you do." As I slowly approach and hold his shoulder tightly before I say to him the last words he should remember.  "Is to Kill.. him. Remember this idiot, no witness should remain alive" I said making him shudder as I grin how he reacts, before I look at Bomjong again.

"Train your men carefully Mr. Kim they're doing a very very bad job. Cover this all up immediately." I said as he said yes in response and nodded before I walked to one of the black vans and get in.

"Take me home now." I said to the driver who just nodded before we went out of the place.

*********************

ZEE'S POV

"How I wish to stay here like this forever." I heard him said as we both are sitting at the picnic mat facing the  bridge.

I came back here again after 2 weeks that I last came to visit him, and throughout the months that we're secretly seeing each other we would always come back to this place where we shared all the things that we did in the days that we didn't see each other. All the days that I couldn't see him, and I would always tell him how I missed him.

Song Rin is like a breath of fresh air to me. He started to fill up the space that Nunew had been the owner of.

And even if I felt guilty with Nunew, I could never stop myself from falling in love with Song Rin. I don't even know why I easily fall in love with him, and  that it make me feel guilty even more. But maybe because they look alike. Or they somehow felt the same to me that is why this guilt makes me hate myself in some ways.

But right now I want to spend time with him as it  makes me so happy, and I would never exchange anything just to have all the moment with him.

"And I also want that Rin." As I smile at him.  "But I still have to take you back home." I said sadly

"How I wish I could come with you so I could be with you everyday." He said as he looked at the river while I stared at him unbelievably.

"I wanted to go to the place where you lived Zee." And he look at me.

"Rin? You know that wasn't the problem here. Your family wouldn't let that happen." I said  "They didn't even know that you're meeting with in secret." He immediately look away from me.

I know he doesn't want to make his family involved in us, but that is impossible. If we want our relationship to move forward I need to tell his family that I'm serious of him.

But everytime I'll try to open about it he would also find a way to change topics or avoid this kind of conversation and would pretend that I didn't talk about it.

"Rin, we can't just disregard your family." Then I hold his hand.  "You know how serious I am about you Rin." As I look at him making him realize that I'm with everything about us.

"Whether you like it or not they would have a say with this Rin. They're still your family." I tried to make him understand.

He sigh deeply and look back at the river.

"Maybe I should go home now. It's already ten." He said avoiding the conversation once again before he stand up immediately. But before he could walk away from me I instantly hold his hand to make him stop.

"I know you don't want to talk about this Rin. But please I want you to understand that this is not easy for me to." I said.   "I don't want you to get in trouble."

He avoided my gaze and looks down on his feet.

"Even if I didn't tell you directly how I felt. You know that I like you too, Zee" I was dumbfounded for a second. Did he just said he like me?

"You like me too." As I find myself asking him again..

"No I just don't like you Zee. I am falling in love with you." He said as he look up to me and stares at me with love in his eyes.

Yes, I have known that we felt the same way. But hearing it from him now is different. It felt so unreal.

"You do?" I ask again as I'm shocked hearing these words from him. He nodded as his tears threatened to fall.

"I love you Zee." This time his tears have fallen and my heart beats louder.  God I don't know what happened but I think I'm dreaming with my eyes wide open. He is now confessing his feelings for me and I couldn't really believe it.

My hand unconsciously raises to his face and gently wipe his tears away, and in a matter of seconds I come closer to him and kiss him, letting him know how I feel at the same time.

Then I let go with the kiss and stare at him and smile brightly.

"I love you too Rin." I reply.  I never thought I could hear him the word I never thought he had felt toward me. I just know he like me but never thought he would fall in love with me.

After a moment I see his eyes full of worry.

"What is it Rin?" I ask him.

"I was thinking of what would happen to us now Zee." he said.

"Let's make us official and tell your parents Rin." I said now having more courage to face his family.

"We both know my mom wouldn't like this kind of relationship Zee. Even if she still doesn't know about us. I know if she could found out she will not let me meet you again." He said as I felt him sobbing.

I hold his chin and raise his head and immediately wipe his tears that stream on his face.

"My hyung knows about our secret meeting with each other Zee. If my mom would know this to. It would be the end for us." He said as he look hurt.

"If you could just let me meet them Rin. I would let them know that my feeling for you is pure. That I'm not just some kind of guy who's going to take advantage of you. That I'm serious of you."

"Maybe they would give me a chance. Let me try to persuade them Rin." I continue to said as I wanted to make him understand that maybe things could turn out fine if he wouldn't be scared of his families judgement. I

"I don't know Zee, I don't know." As he look really worried of our situation.  "Give me time to think about it. I'm scared to tell them about you." He said.

"Don't be scared. Whatever happens. I would never leave you. So take your time. I'm just here waiting."I said as I smiled making him at ease of everything.

I know his really worried about what his family might do, but whatever it is I'll never leave him. Now that we know we love each other. I don't have the plan to let him go. Not the way I did back then.

I would never make the same mistake that I did before. This time I'll fight my love for him.

_____________

"WHAT DID YOU SAY?"  Seo hyung's voice echoes the whole house as she shouted Bomjong who was standing along with five of his men.

"Where sorry Ms. Park we really lost track of him." He said on defense as his men bow for sorry.

"Are you kidding me? My son is nowhere to be found? I even booked a flight today, earlier than the day we're supposed to fly to Germany. And now he is GONE!"  As she deliberately kicks the vase that's smash into the floor.

She then grab Bomjong's collar and shove the big guy backwards.

He didn't react at all as he knows they were at fault for everything that happens. All they need to do it to watch over him and make sure he wouldn't go out of the house as Seo hyung had banned him to go outside anymore.

"You're a useless piece of shit. You can't even do your job right." She shouted enraged again. She couldn't contain her emotions.

She can't let this happen. She couldn't let his son go to that man and worst possible he would take him to Thailand.

"No he wouldn't." She said in panic as she was thinking that his son's passport was with her all alone. He can't go out of the country without it.

But what if-

She immediately run back upstairs walk pass James who just got out from his room as he had woken up with his mother's hysterical voice.

"Eomma, what happened." He ask when she walk passed him. She went straight to her office and rummaged her file cabinet and saw that the small wooden box where he put his passport was empty.

"No, no no. This can't be." She went hysteric again and smash the wooden box on the floor.

"Eomma what are you doing?" James ask in worry.

"Your brother takes his passport and possibly had run away with Zee Pruk." As she shouted in panic.

"Eomma, calm down." James said trying to stop his mother from trying to ruin her whole office.

"How can I calm down James. If he's with Zee, they'll probably be in Thailand now.I'm afraid he remembered James. That's why he ran away." She said talking about the possibility she had fear.

"Mom, the medicine he had been taken would not let him remember. So that's impossible." He said making her at ease.

When that sinks in her mind she immediately smile at James forgetting she had been hysterical awhile ago.

"Right, He wouldn't remember anything." As she grin at him.

But on a second she change her demeanor. She went serious again with his eyes enraged with anger.

"But that doesn't mean I let him be. I'll be taking him back." And she walk out of the room and went back straight to Bomjong and his men.

"Let's find my son and take him back, Bomjong, by hook or by crook." She said as he nodded. Seo hyung and Bomjong went out with all his men and went to their cars, ready to search Song Rin.

James who was left behind went back inside his room and took out the passport in his cabinet and put it inside the luggage he had been hiding since.

Then he immediately take his phone out of his pocket and call him.

"Hyungnim?" Song Rin immediately answer his call.
