Chapter 13 I am Sorry

  "You looks really happy when talking about Ryu Min...." Ju Min smiles on you. You look at him and you see a sorrow on his eyes.
"....Ah.....I'm sorry.... For talking about Ryu Min like this...." You said after observing his expression.
        "..... Do you ever regret for loving him or ever tried to forget him?" He asks.
       "I did tried to forget him.... Multiple time... But it never been easy to forget your first love, I burn every diary I ever wrote about him, but at times I really wish to read it over to reminesce the memory about him.... I can never forget him at all despite everything" you make a dramatic smile.
        "......The kiss.... I won't appologize about that... I know you are bothered by this.... But saying that I'm sorry prove that it was a mistake when it is not a mistake for me..... I don't regret it because I really want it.... I want you.... I want to stay by your side.... " Ju Min disclose his feeling for the first time.
         "Ju Min....." You are staring at him, seeking the truth through his eyes. He is sincere, you know that. You always know that.
          "I'm sorry...... I really am sorry......" You look at him appologeticly.  "I.... Don't deserve you....." He looks so devastated.
          "I love your brother...." You make a clear statement.
          "..... I know....." He staring on the ground.
          "Do you think you can stand with the woman who always love your own brother?" You ask him in hope that he would realizes it and decide to take a step back.
          "I don't mind.... As long as you give me a chance to make you happy...." But his answer frustrated you even more.
         "But I do mind! Please..... You would always remind me of him and I hate that.... If you really care about me.... Just please, stay away from me..... Just regard me as your assistant... And friend.... No more.... No less..... I beg you...." You plead him.
             In fact, the reason that you reject him is because you are afraid. Ju Min.... He looks at you like the way Ryu Min does. Both of them show a great concern, sincere, care and love.... But Ryu Min hold those feeling as a friend. You did ever hope that it is more than a friend but the truth is otherwise.
                Ju Min.... You are not sure what kind of feeling he has for you nor is he really understand it properly. But you are just too tired for even considering his feeling. You are kinda sick of love. And you are not ready for the new one.
             "I understand..." Ju Min speak weakly.
           "....good!" you stand up.
          
           "Now... Let's go inside.... We have a meeting with Ryan M....." You sigh deeply. Try to getting your composure.
       Both of you walk silently toward the office. Totally immerse by each own thought. When you reach the meeting room, Jae Hee and Ryu Min is already there. Waiting for you and Ju Min.
         Jae Hee scoldes the two of you who has been missing. It makes the meeting schedule is suspended. Your focus divert to Ryu Min. He is standing there waiting for you and Ju Min with a warm smile on his face.
           "Ryan M.... Han Ryu Min.... I never thought it was you.... Long time no see....." You get your composure and greeting him as a friend and business partner.
           "Lee Hyu Ri.... Nice to meet you" he greets you cheerfully. "And you too.... Mr Han" he divert his attention toward his brother. Ju Min soon act as a professional bussinesman.
             "Congratulation..... You've become such great photographer as your dream" you congratulate him sincerely and he thanks you for that.
            The meeting is started. You are responsible to presenting the material. All the attention focus on you. The two man watching you in their own awe. While Ju Min looking at you by crossing his hand on the table. Ryu Min leaning his head on his right hand, his smile never leaves his lips.
               Ju Min divert his attention to Ryu Min. He observes his brother expression while looking at you. There is a a great tenderness in his eyes. It makes Ju Min wonders and frown his eyebrow. He switch his attention again on you.
              Ju Min witness your interaction with Ryu Min. Even though you can pull your professionalism when you present the material, when your eyes meets Ryu Min, you still feel nervous and timidly avoiding his eyes. How he wish you could looking at him the way you look at his brother.
             You finally finish the presentation. Ryu Min give his thought about the concept, Ju Min takes his idea into consideration, he also speaks up his mind. They are actually come into agreement.
            After the presentation is over, it  is the time for you and Ryu Min to heading to the project location. Both of you just about to exit the door when Ju Min reach out to you. Holding your arm.
            "Hyu Ri-ssi...." He stops you. His very action make Jae Hee and Ryu Min puzzled, so are you. He just does it reflexively, and he doesn't really sure what would he says afterward.
         "....should I come with you?" He asks abruptly.
         "....I'm not sure you can Mr Han, I think you have another pressing matter that need to be done here sir...." You talk formally to him, try to remind him about your current situation.
           "....ah...  Sorry...." He release your hand. He just doesn't want you to go with Ryu Min. He feel distressed. But he doesn't has any right to keep you here nor to forbid you to go. After all... what you have to do is a necessary thing for the company. He doesn't has any choice but to just let you go unwillingly.
            You go with Ryu Min to the destination. While he is working on his photograph, you take some distance to observe him. You don't want to get on his way. You bring around a notebook to write a needed note. When you are focus on your job, you hear a click from a camera.
            You lift up your face and see that Ryu Min direct his camera lens at your direction. He just take your picture.
             "What are you doing? Delete it!" you ordering him. He looks on the picture and smile saying that the result is good. You insist him to delete him, approach him to see your picture. Both of you observing the picture together. You stand on an extremely close distance from him. Your arm touch his, you can feel his warm body.
           Your heart start to pounding, you take a peek on his expression. His typical smile is dazzling. You are happy to see him closely like this again.
            "See? It's good right? you looks beautiful." He turn around and look at you, smiling. You absurbtly shift your gaze. Not really good to conceal your blushing. He smile to you meaningfully, his gaze become softer.
            Suddenly, it start to rain heavely. Both of you become quandary. Ryu Min then takes your hand and pull you to run together searching for the closest shelter. It is not hard to find the shelter around.
            You observe the rain quietly, you always like to play in the rain. So you reaching out your hand to touch the rain drop with your palm. You like the sensation of the rain drop which touch your skin and enjoy its splashing. Soon you see a long strong hand reach out the rain next to yours. It is Ryu Min.
            He wait for a moment after some water fulling his palm and then playfully splashing it to you. He smiles teasingly. You remember about the past memories, he did this playfull game back then too when you try to reach out the rain from a window. His hand is longer so he can naturally reach out the thing which you were unable to.
             You pouting your face after become a victim of his nosy behaviour. You wouldn't just lay a hand of his childish game. So you get a revenge by splashing more water on his face. Both of you end up playing the rain together like a two teenager.
