My Dear Boyfriend

Your POV
It’s odd for me to know that I’m dating someone who has an identical twin that I’m going to meet today.
I still find it funny when I think about it.
It’s hard since all I know is they are identical and they also are tricky…
Kind of like those twins on Ouran host club except not so creepy brotherly love…
I hope.
I smile as I remember when I met Youngmin.
I was out running with my new hat and it was still seemed too bright for me.
Therefore, I decided to take as short cut through some trees when I saw a guy leaning up a tree with his eyes partly open.
I thought he was hurt so I quickly ran over to him.
“Anno… Are you alright?”
I patted his shoulder and I heard him mumble something.
I reached over and touched his wrist to figure out that he was just asleep.
I try all kind of polite ways to wake the guy up, but it doesn’t work in the end I give up and I kick him in the shin.
His eyes snapped open as he fell down.
He popped up and looked at me straight in the eyes, “Ya!”
I lifted my eyebrow and smiled, “Oh I’m sorry but it’s not a good idea to sleep in a park much less standing up.”
Before he could say anything else, I ran off.
I smile as I look up to come face to face with a guy that looks like my Youngmin.
“Oh I’m sorry you must be Youngmin’s brother, Kwangmin. I’m his girlfriend, ____.”
“Oh it’s nice to meet you,” he says as I stick my hand out.
“Youngmin isn’t home at the moment but if you like you can wait for him.”
He nods his head, “Yeah I think I’d like that.”
We sit down outside my apartment because I want to wait for Youngmin.
“So you and my brother are dating?”
I nod my head, “Yes, we are.”
“For how long?”
“For almost two years,” I tell him with a smile on my lips.
“Can I ask how he asked you out?”
I nod my head, “Yeah I can tell you. Do you know how you met?”
He nods his head, “Yeah I was there you kicked him to wake him up. Usually even if the guys and I would do that he wouldn’t wake up.”
I smile as I nod my head, “He told me after he asked me out.”
It was funny after that say he would show up on my runs everyday. I even tried to change the times. I would switch them around, but somehow he was always there.
He would run after me and try to catch up with me.
After over a week of him not giving up I stopped one day mostly because I had lost my Winnie the Pooh stocking cap that my mother had bought for me.
When I turned around, he had it in his hands.
He had the hat and a flower in his hands.
He said, ‘You like Winnie Pooh, too.’
I nodded my head, ‘Of course I do it’s how I bonded with my mother when I was growing up.’
He laughed and handed me my hat.
We stood there silent for a while until I asked him, ‘Why have you been stalking me?’
He started to defend himself, ‘I’m not stalking I just wanted to apologize for being rude the other day. Also for some reason I keep thinking back to you. I was wondering if you would go out on a date with me?’
I laughed in his face, but when he looked down dejected and turned to leave I felt my heart tighten
I yelled out for him to stop, ‘I’m sorry it's just that surprised me I’ve never been asked out before. I would love to go on a date with you.’
We didn’t become official until a year later even though we would always go out on dates it was more like friends hanging out.”
Kwangmin looks over at me with a smile on his lips, “You sound like you really love my brother.”
I nodded my head, “I was the one who confessed first. I was afraid I would lose him so I confessed to him.”
“Why did you think you were going to lose him?”
I look away ashamed for my past self, “We were growing apart. My parents were trying to hook me up with their friend from Japan’s son.
I told Youngmin about it and he told me I should just go through with it.
I thought he didn’t love me the way I loved him.
Still before I left him that day I turned around and screamed out in all kind of languages, but they all had the same meaning. They all meant I love you. He didn’t turn back to me.
It wasn’t until he got news that I was going to go to Japan that he confessed his love for me.
It was a bit cliché, but I was perfectly happy with it.
He had ran to the airport to make sure I didn’t’ leave. If I hadn’t stopped to tie my shoe the time I did he would have missed me.
Still he had run over to me, took me by the shoulders, and said, ‘Please don’t leave me. I’m sorry I didn’t tell you my feelings. Can you do something for me?’
I nodded my head, ‘What do you need, Youngmin?’ I tried to say in a cold tone.
He looked at me straight in the eyes, ‘Close your eyes.’
I closed them, ‘What do you want me to do? Youngmin I don’t see anything.’
‘Good then you understand when I close my eyes and you’re out of my sight I felt like my world had retorted to just that… Nothing. I love you, Miss. Gu ____.’”
Kwangmin chuckles, “I never knew my brother would be so cliché.”
I nod my head, “Still being with him for this last year as his official girlfriend is nice. Still every time he leaves the apartment or our dates end he’ll write Youngmin’s girlfriend on my hand.”
He chuckles really, “Really?”
I nod my head, “Yet, it’s then easy to tell if he’s upset about something since he’d forget. It’s funny that the two of us became connected because of a liking for the same cartoon. I wonder if he would have even noticed me if I wasn’t wearing that hat.”
“Is that what you think?”
I turn around to see Youngmin standing there.
“How long have you been standing there?” I quietly ask.
“My brother told me to hide out and see what you had to say, but I seem to have forgotten that I was supposed to be hiding.”
I look between them then look down at the ground to hide my tears from Youngmin since I know he hates it when I cry.
“Why are you so mean like this? Do you not trust my feelings after these two years? Maybe I should have left a year ago. Maybe it wouldn’t be like this. Youngmin you are always pulling stupid stunts to see if I’ll stay.” I look up so he can see my face, “I hate you. I hate it when people pull this on me,” I look at Kwangmin, “You are a pain. Why did you tell him to stay hidden? Why ask such stupid questions? I love him so why put me through this. Youngmin you know what I feel about tricks.”
I stand up and leave pass Youngmin and he takes my hand in his.
Right away, his words become jumbled and his words become mixed up.
One of the reasons why I love him is because when he’s like this I want to kiss him.
I don’t stop myself from stopping and kissing his cheek.
I didn’t watch as he lifted his hand up to touch his cheek.
“I’m sorry,” I hear him whisper.
“Don’t try that on me,” I try to sound cold but in truth, I know I sound like I’m going to just break down crying.
He holds my hand still as he pulls me into a hug and just holds me there.
“Youngmin! Ya, let me go,” I start to hit his chest, but soon I stop, “I’m still mad at you,” I say as I hide my face in his chest and start crying.
“The reason why I told him to sit back and listen is because I wanted him to realize just how important you are. All I hear about is how great you are and whatever happened with you that day. Still he doesn’t even want to admit that you just his life to anyone. From what you told me he hasn’t done so since, he told you not to leave a year ago. I wanted to see how he would react if he was placed in a situation like this. You two are perfect together. I think Youngmin you should just trust her. You should love her. Always let her know those two things, because I’m sure that’s all she really wants from you.”
I smile at Kwangmin as I feel tears build up in my eyes again, “Kwangmin, thank you.”
He nods his head, “You're welcome. I really do approve of the two of you.”
He goes to leave but I move out of Youngmin’s arms and hug his twin brother, “Thank you. You know I thought the worse of what could happen today, and I never thought that you would be help.”
He nods his head and smiles back at me, “Just don’t hurt my brother.”
I smile at him, “Of course as long as he doesn’t hurt me.”
Kwangmin chuckles, “I’ll hurt him for you if he does.”
“Thank you,” I hear Youngmin says as he walks up behind me and pulls me into a back hug.
“Of course we’re brothers after all. I just want you to be happy. Just make sure you don’t make yourself look like an ass again.”
I chuckle as he starts to head down the stairs, “He wasn’t so bad.”
“Yeah, but he always tries to act like the older brother I was born first.”
I turn around and touch his face, “Only by six minutes.”
Before he can say anything else, I kiss him on the lips.
“You know what never mind, but I think I have to say this. ____ I love you and you’re my world. I know my brother’s right I should say that more often to let you know that you mean so much to me.”
I nod my head and kiss him again, “Come on let’s go get something to eat.”
He nods his head and looks at my head to see I’m wearing my Winnie the Pooh stocking cap.
“You know I love you more that I could ever think of loving that hat of yours.”
I chuckle at I turn around, “You better.”
I smile back at him as I take his hand in mine and drag him off to eat at our favorite restaurant down the street.
