Chapter 24 Duo and Advices
Next day back in the studio
"Since you already know the way to pour your emtions into a song, this time it should be a piece of cake for you."
"Can we do it like yesterday? Holding hands while we sing?"
"S-sure, but can you manage when you are alone on stage? I don't want this to become a habit."
"I can and I will."
"Okay then."

'Each word you say, and each laugh
They have such big meanings to me
Even your smallest glances
And even your lonely back is a difficult for me to be bear
All of you came to as me as a mystery that couldn't be solved...'

This time, without Ji Hoon's signal, the producer started recording after seeing them holding each other's hands. It went smoothly this time.
They leave the rest of the editing to the producer, and Ji Hoon proposes to fetch Jee Eun back to her dorm. On their way back, Jee Eun is sharing her idea of the MV.
"Oppa, about the idea of MV I spoke about yesterday, I was thinking of something like this. We can go travel somewhere as a 'couple', the MV is basically you filming my reaction throughout the video. But the interesting thing is I will be the only one appearing in the MV, while oppa will just film me holding your hand. It's hard to explain, let me show you."

"Hmm, interesting idea, how did you thought of something like this?"
"I don't really know, I just mostly just wanna hang out with oppa..." (⁄ ⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄ ⁄)⁄
"You really aren't hiding any of your feelings anymore huh?"
ᵉʰᵉʰᵉ(*/∇＼)
...
After sending Jee Eun home, Ji Hoon goes home too. He tiredly lies down on the sofa in the living room. He has been feeling complicated about the situation with Jee Eun these past two days. Why? Because there's one other person that acts the same way towards him, Emmy, which is why he couldn't answer to Jee Eun's feeling the other day.
He doesn't know who to talk to about this situation, surely not his sister Soo Yeon, maybe his mother?
Suddenly he feels someone touching his back, he turns his head and see his mom looking at him worriedly.
"If you want to sleep, you should go to your bed. Remember to take a bath before that."
"I was just thinking about something, something that's been on my mind for a long time."
"Oh? What is it? Wanna share it with me?"
"I don't know where to start..."
"Looking at your expression... Relationship's problem?!" His mom asked excitedly. ( ✧o✧)
"I never said anything abo-"
"I was wondering when you are gonna start and have your first proper relationship, I even thought you are always a little bit dense when it comes to relationship."
"I'm no-"
"So who is it? Emmy? or Jee Eun?"
"How did you kno-"
"Everyone knows, have you seen the way they looked at you? How they instantly became happy whenever you are around? Of course you didn't notice because just like your father, you are always a bit slow in this regard."
"Hey! Don't drag me into this!" His dad comes to the living room with newspaper in his hand and he sits beside mom.
"Don't interrupt us! So who is it?"
"B-both..."
... x2
?! x2
"BOTH?!" x2
"Have you told any of them about this?"
"No, how can I?"
The parents look at each other.
"Then what's troubling you?"
"I don't know who to pick, both of them meant a lot to me, and if by choosing one, I would lose the other, I would rather not choose at all."
"Hmm? Why do you need to choose one?" The father asked weirdly.
"What do you mean?"
"Why not get them both?" The mother answered.
"Huh?!"
"I mean this is a world that allows multiple marriages for both men and women, so I don't see why you are conflicted about this."
"Your father once had another wife who sadly passed away before you were born."
"She was always the quiet one, always had love towards arts, until the very end."
"Why didn't you tell me about this?"
"Because there wasn't any need to."
"I meant the multiple marriages thing!"
"That's common sense no?"
Hearing that, Ji Hoon rushes into his room, opens his computer and looks for information about this world. Apparently this isn't Earth where he lived in his past life, this is a planet named Eros, and of course, multiple marriages have always been allowed.
Filled with regrets, this should've been the first information he looks for when he were reborn in this world! That would've make everything much easier. Knowing this information, he feels relieved once again.
"No wonder the names of the places and people are different!" Ji Hoon thought to himself.
*Since the whole reincarnation thing is already a fantasy, so I'll just change everything into an alternate universe. I will change some of the names of the countries and places in the previous chapters to avoid any trouble in the future.
He picks up his phone and texts Emmy.
"Emmy, are you free tomorrow? I have something to talk to you about. I will come pick you up at your home. Goodnight~"
He does the same to Jee Eun.
Moments later, he receives the replies from both of them saying they will wait for him, only then he goes to sleep peacefully.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next day
Ji Hoon picks Emmy up first she lives closer.
"What happened? You sounded urgent."
"We will talk about it after I pick Jee Eun up too."
"Jee Eun? She's coming too?"
"Yeah."
"Hmm..." Emmy looks at Ji Hoon suspiciously.
"Then I'll move to the backseat, I'll sit with Jee Eun later, and you can be our driver."
"Yes ma'am!"
...
Arriving at the GoG's dorm, Jee Eun is already waiting downstairs. She is wearing a pretty dress, even did some make up, must've thought it was gonna be date alone with Ji Hoon.
"Oppa~! Ah! Emmy unnie is here too?" She cheerfully greets Ji Hoon, but is surprised by Emmy when she slides down the window.
"Hmm? Am I not welcomed here? Should I leave?"
"Nonono, Emmy unnie, I was just surprised that's all." She quickly jumps into the backseat and cuddles up with Emmy.
"Now tell us Ji Hoon, where are you bringing us?"
"Homestly? I don't know, I just need some place where the three of us can talk without any interruption."
"Then why don't we just talk in the car?"
"If that's fine with you?"
"I don't mind." x2
"Okay."
He takes a deep breath and turns back to look at them both.
"I like the both of you!"
...
*silence
???
"Mmhmm? And then?" Emmy asked, even Jee Eun is looking at him like 'what are you doing oppa'.
"Why don't you sound surprised at all?"
"I mean, remember when I asked you to introduce me to Jee Eun when we were at Lond airport? We got pretty close with each other, and we shared our secrets too."
"So naturally, we both knew we fell in love with oppa at the same time."
"She even told me that she confessed her feelings to you yesterday."
"Unnie!" (/ω＼)
"So we are just waiting for your answer, just didn't know it was gonna be this way."
...
"But that was the perfect answer we wanted from you oppa!"
"We thought you are only going to man up after a few years, didn't excpect it to be so soon."
"You two..."
*muacks
Emmy and Jee Eun lean in and kiss each sides of his cheek.
"I love you Ji Hoon / Saranghaeyo oppa!"
He hugs both of them tightly.
"I love you too, and I promise I will cherish the two of you for my whole life."
"You better!"
