Jun blankly stared at him, the words which Jin just uttered hamring in his mind as if sobody was loudly beating a drum.
Bullet…?
Jin watched the priceless expression forming on Jun's face and laughed. "What's wrong? Are you wondering which bullet I am talking about? How could you kill when I am alive at this mont right now? But I am sure you do know which bullet I am talking about."
His eyes slowly widened as he was struck with the only realization that could explain this bizarre turn of events. "That's…That's not-"
Jin tilted his head, his vicious words stabbing Jun right through his heart. "The sa bullet with which you took my life…in your past life."
Jun froze. He couldn't articulate what he felt at this mont. It was as if he was in the middle of a dark and dangerous storm from where he had no way to escape. His breath got stuck in his throat, and a suffocating feeling enveloped him from within. The ntion of the past life from Jin made his body shiver non-stop.
"Jun!" Ai tightly held onto his arm and gripped it to provide her assurance.
Jin smiled. "I know it must be beyond your comprehension, Zhou Ai. A bullet, a past life where I already died once,…wouldn't make so much sense to you. But it would make all sense to Bro Jun. After all, isn't he also reborn just like ?"
Jun jerked his head towards him, his heart almost stopped beating in his chest. "Jin…you…"
"Yes, Bro. I thought I died when your bullet struck . When everything turned black before my eyes, I felt myself floating in a never-ending black void. The next thing I knew I had co ten years back in ti. So yes. I rember everything from our past lives just like you do," he gripped his fingers into his palm, "I rember every single mont where you pushed away. Where you refused to look at . Where you said you hated . And where you eventually killed ! I rember everything!"
Jin is reborn like …?
Jun recalled everything that happened ever since he opened his eyes to his new life. But as far as Jin's behavior was concerned, nothing struck him out of the ordinary. The only thing different was the fact that he hated Shui and showed an interest to date Ai.
Jin said, "Are you wondering how I know about your rebirth? Of course, I did. The mont you left the house, I knew you had been reborn too because if you hadn't, then the tiline wouldn't have changed. You never left to live in your condo in our last life, so why would you do that now? I beca even more sure when Shui said that you broke up with her. It was impossible considering your obsession with her so the only conclusion was that you were reborn too."
Jun raised his trembling hands and clutched his shoulders. His moist eyes let out a tear on his cheek. "If-If…Jin, if you knew that I was reborn then…why didn't you co to ? W-Why didn't you say anything to ? I…"
Jin took a step near him and spoke in a deathly somber voice, "What should I have said to you, Bro? That the brother you killed with your own hands was alive? That the brother you failed to kill got a second chance in life? You would have felt so disappointed that your most hated enemy vaas back," he sneered.
He stared at him, stupefied, "Disappointed?"
"Then what else should I say!? Ever since Shui rejected you, you did nothing but hate ! You did nothing but cast away! You only cursed my existence! Why? Why!? Why did you hate so much when I…I kept begging you to believe that I had no feelings for Shui!? I kept crying and pleading with you that you were misunderstanding , but you never chose to believe !" His eyes slightly reddened as he crumpled Jun's shirt in his fist.
"You got so blind in your obsession that you threw everything important away from you! Just because of a single woman, you left your family, hated your family, you hated and you hated the whole world! The…the kind Bro Jun who I always idolized had changed within a single night. You…" he gritted his teeth, "you had the kindest heart of all, but you behaved the cruelest to us all."
Jun shook hard. The guilt and his wrongdoings of his past life which he was trying hard to bury in his heart, resurfaced as Jin shed light onto them.
Jin wiped his tears and chuckled. "Do you rember, Bro? I once told you that you should break up with Shui. I once told you that she wasn't the right woman for you. But you didn't listen to . Instead, you got furious at and stopped talking to ! Bro…I could see that Shui wasn't into you. She didn't love you the sa way you loved her. And I just wanted to protect you! But you got so mad at that I had to apologize to you. Because…I didn't want to lose you. I didn't want to make you hate …" he trembled.
Jun felt it difficult to breathe.
It was the ti when Shui had asked Jun for so space after her twenty-first birthday when he had proposed to her. He thought that Jin said so because…
"I didn't say that because I liked Shui. I said that because I had understood that you would never be happy with her! You two were constantly fighting with each other, and I was disliking Shui more and more! How dare she think that your love was suffocating? How dare she push you away? There was nobody else in this world who could keep her as happy as you. You spent your whole childhood loving her and waiting for the day when you would marry her. But who was she to throw everything away? Who was she to reject you when you dedicated your whole life to her!?
That's why I wanted you to end your relationship with her. Because she didn't deserve you! If she found your love suffocating, then I didn't want to see you with a woman like her who didn't respect your love. But what did I get? Only your fury and nothing else!"
