Jason invited me over to his house and it took about 15 minutes to get there. The whole place was like a castle, it was absolutely huge. Jason led me to his room. It was nice and clean but there were a lot of holes all around his walls. I sat down on his bed as he went into the bathroom to take a quick shower. When he was done, he came out and sat next to me, holding my hand. I really am in love.

“Jason, how come your walls have a lot of holes?” He shrugged his shoulders and I massaged it for him. As he relaxed, he answered me.
“Oh, it’s cause I fight with my parents a lot so I take it out on the walls.”

Judging by the holes, I can tell that he was really angry every time he made one.

“Come on,” he said. He lifted me up on his back and gave me a piggyback ride downstairs. He smelled so good now that he’s clean and fresh. His dad was waiting for him in the den. I waited outside while Jason came into face his dad. Jason came in, uninterested in what his dad had to say. “What is it dad?”
“Jason, son…this is getting to be very tiring. Every few weeks you would run away, leaving me and your mother worrying about you.”

Jason smirked. “Sure you’re worried. That’s why you live in seperate parts of the world. It’s because I’m your only son. You’re just scared that when grandpa passes away he won’t put our family on the will.”

His father got angry. “Well do you want it to end up on your uncle’s side?” Jason gave his dad a look that showed he didn’t care. His dad continued talking. “Since I managed to have a son and my brother have no kids, I have the advantage. Son, listen to me. You know you’re my heir. All my wealth will be pass down to you.”

Jason looked at his dad disgusted. “All you care about is money! You don’t care about me!” he yelled as he stormed out of the den. Ji Won slammed the door open and grabbed my hand. “Come on, let’s go.”

I was confused and didn’t know what had happened. Jason held my hand and took me to the beach near his house. On the sand there were these 2 huge rocks. Jason led me over there. He lifted me up and we sat side by side. We remained silent until Jason took a deep breath of the ocean air. “I love this place, don’t you?” he said to me smiling.

I returned his smile and held onto his hand tighter. “Jason, what’s wrong?” Jason avoided my eyes.

“Nothing.” I turned his chin to face me.
“Come on, you know you can tell me.” He nodded. “It’s my dad and this stupid feud he has with my uncle. They’re fighting over who will get the larger part in my grandpa’s will.”
“Oh…” I said softly.
“Isn’t it stupid?” he asked laughing. “My grandpa’s not even dead yet!”

I understood what was bothering him. So I didn’t say anything because I know he doesn’t want me to worry about it.

He threw a rock into the ocean and it skipped three times. “Perfect” he said. “Why is it perfect?” I asked. “Age ain’t nothing but a number right?” he asked me, changing the subject.
I thought about it for a while and nodded. “Since I’m older than you by two years, that makes me like your brother ,” Jason said to me.
“Yup,” I answered, smiling.
Jason smiled back. “I love you….”
I felt my heart my heart filled with a bubble of love but then Jason continued talking..”as a sister.” My bubble bursted. This was not what I had expected him to say. I stared at Jason with wide eyes. I knew it was pretty forward of me but I had to ask.
“Y…your….sister?” I managed to stutter out. Jason looked back at me with his puppyish eyes and smiled. He nodded his head gently. Have I been reading all his signs wrong?
“So what do you say?” he asked. “Want to be my sister?”
Even though it was breaking my heart, I had no choice but to agree. I nodded. “Yes, I want to be your sister.”
“Good,” he said. Jason nodded and reached into his pocket. He pulled out a small silver knife. I stared at him with wide eyes.
“Jason, what are you going to do with that knife?”
He asked, “Do you trust me Jenny?” I nodded my head without hesitation. I trusted Jason with my whole heart. He smiled at me.
“Good. Lower the back of your shirt.” Jason pulled the back of my shirt down. Then he used that knife to cut me. “Ow!” I screamed in pain but he continued anyways. He carved a small ‘J’ onto my shoulder blade. My back was bleeding and he bandaged it for me. Then he handed the knife to me.
“Here. Engrave your initial ‘J’.
” My hand trembled as I held the knife. I didn’t want to hurt Jason.
“Go ahead. Don’t worry, I can stand the pain.”
I engraved an ‘J’ onto Jason’s back. I was surprised because he didn’t let a tear drop or cry out in pain. I bandaged him and he acted as if nothing had happen. When it was over, he held me close.
I held onto Jason tightly as if he was going to leave me. I know he only thinks of me as his little sister but it feels nice holding him like this. As Jason held onto Jenny, his smiling face instantly turned sad. He wanted to say ‘Jenny, I love you as a girlfriend’ so she would be his forever but he couldn’t. He wasn’t the type to admit his feelings. So he figured the scarring was not an engravement of his brotherly love to Jenny, but his promised symbol as a soulmate to her forever…
