So words are bitter. So words are sweet. So words are powerful yet so words are weak.
But...
So words are just simple. Yet those simple words are the heaviest. They carry the burden of feelings. Heartfelt feelings. Unpretentious feelings. Pure feelings.
Therefore, in reality, words are not simple. They can’t be. As long as feelings are involved. No words are ordinary.
Currently, Ye Jie was lost in his reverie. Xu y’s subtle yet radiant smile under the rays of the sun was the only thing circulating in his mind making a silly smile appear on his handso face.
The constantly ringing phone by his side was entirely neglected.
But our second young master was a persistent person. He kept calling repeatedly until the annoying ringtone broke Ye Jie’s daydreaming and made the smile to turn into a scowl. "What do you want, Jun?"
Ye Jun could feel the burning heat through the phone as if Ye Jie would love to burn him alive just with his words alone. ’Wrong timing?’ He thought to himself. ’Who cares? I already walked into the tiger’s den. Now, I can only walk ahead. There is no way back.’ Ye Jun was resolute.
"Bro, I’m sick and still you’re yelling at ? That’s not fair." His voice was heartbreaking but his drama had no effect on Ye Jie.
"Get down to the business." Ye Jie enunciated each word slowly.
"Bro, I’m feeling hungry. Bring sothing to eat." He demanded in a childlike tone.
"Ask NaNa to make you sothing." He replied in a bored way. He specifically left Qu NaNa at ho with instructions just for Ye Jun.
"She’s not here." Ye Jun replied calmly.
"Why? I asked her to stay with you. How can she leave like this?" Ye Jie was frowning at his brother’s answer. It was not possible that the maid won’t listen to him.
"I asked her to leave." Ye Jun replied in a matter-of-fact tone.
"Why?" Ye Jie was gnashing his teeth at this point.
"She was annoying ti after ti. Second Young Master, are you feeling pain anywhere? Should I call the doctor? Should I inform Madam Ye? Or should I call Eldest young master? Would you like to eat sothing? Tell what you want and I’ll make it for you. And blah... blah... blah... I got tired of her hence I made her go away."
Ye Jie understood the situation instantly. Ye Jun turned into a child whenever he was sick. Well, he was usually a big baby but during his sickness period, he was worse. And he hated it when soone repeatedly asked him sothing. He was easily irritable.
"Jun, I’ll bring sothing while coming back from the office. I’m really busy with this investnt details that you didn’t complete last night." His tone was leaning towards a bit of accusation paired with a brotherly scolding. For now, be a good brother and ask soone to bring sothing for you from the Ye Residence." Ye Jie was talking slowly without showing his anger just placate his big-baby brother.
"No. No. And definitely no." Ye Jun was as stubborn as he could be. "Forget it. I’ll call sis-in-law." Ye Jie sat up straight at his words and raised his brow. "She’ll definitely bring food."
Ye Jie was completely in an alert mode now. "What do you want to eat my dear little brother?"
Ye Jun smiled smugly at his reply. From the morning antics, he deduced one thing, it was easy to manipulate his brother using sis-in-law. Even just her na was powerful enough. You’re a life-saver sis-in-law.
"Go to a Korean restaurant and bring so tteokbokki (Spicy Rice Cakes)." Ye Jun replied while trying to control his drool.
"Jun, you’re sick. Avoid eating spicy food. I’ll bring abalone congee for you. It’ll be good for your health." Even though Ye Jun was annoying sotis (always but we’ll keep that a secret) but Ye Jie loved him a lot. And Ye Jun knew that very well that Ye Jie was helpless before him.
"I want it. I want it. I want it." Ye Jun’s tantrum was tiring him out. Ye Jie rubbed his forehead and sighed.
"Fine." He gave into his brother’s tantrums as expected of him making Ye Jun smile with pride.
Disconnecting the call, Ye Jie’s gaze fell on the note laying on his office table. Each word was written delicately showing the emotions of the one who wrote it. Ye Jie smiled once again looking at it. He picked it up, folded it and kept it back in his inner pocket right over his heart and tapped it as if to assure himself that it is real.
He decided to reply in the sa way she did. But for now, he needed his wife to miss him a bit like he was missing her flushed face and avoiding eyes.
To love or to not love? Ye Jie left that part on the destiny. After all, Life is a ga only destiny knows how to play it.
He knew one thing; instead of falling in love, he was going to be in love this ti. Falling in love is dangerous. You never know whether the other person is willing to catch you or not.
But...
Being in love is different.
It’s a mystery. A mystery worth solving. A mystery that can turn into a fairytale if you just put the right amount of effort.
Because falling in love depends on luck. But the concoction of the right amount of efforts with the sincerest feelings makes the perfect kind of love.
They say, ’To live your dream, you’ll have to sleep for the rest of your life." Maybe love is exactly like that dream that makes you want to sleep for the rest of your life willingly.
