Running to your smile

Chapter 1

I finished my third year a month ago and now I am on summer vacation.

Grandma: Jinsoo-ah Breakfast is ready, hurry up and get ready!

Grandfather: Jinsoo-ah if you don't get up right now, I will make your brother get you!

With that said, I jumped up out of my bed and ran to the bathroom.

The one thing I fear on this Earth is my big brother

I rush to get ready and run to the dining table

Jinsoo: He isn't out of his room right?

I look at my grandparents out of fear

They shake their heads and I let out a big sigh and slouch down in my chair

Min-ho: Is breakfast ready?

I immediately sit right and pick up my chopsticks

Min-ho: How many times have I told you to straighten your posture. You look lazy if you slouch

I straighten my back and nibble on the rice in my bowl

Min-ho: Stop eating tiny bites, you are not a baby anymore. Eat bigger bites. And also eat some meat, look at how skinny you are.

Grandfather: Stop nagging at your sister, just eat your breakfast and go to college

Min-ho: yes grandfather

My parents passed away when I was only 5, and Min-ho was 18, so we both grew up with our grandparents.

And our grandparents were busy farming and taking care of their restaurant.

Because Min-ho is 13 years older than me, he had this big responsibility on his should of taking care of me and raising me right.

We didn't want to burden our grandparents, so my brother would always try to be perfect and reserved to himself.

I rush and finish my breakfast

Jinsoo: thank you for the breakfast...I am done

Min-ho: where are you going?

Jinsoo: Umm...to the ***** university library?

Min-ho: to do what?

Jinsoo: I got a job there...

Min-ho: you are in your last year of high school, focus on your studies

Jinsoo: I am only going to do it for a month, so I can get some pocket money, I am gonna quit it when school starts

Min-ho: Okay, when do you get off?

Jinsoo: 4:00 PM

My brother hands we a few won bills

Min-ho: go have something nice

I smile and he leaves the room

Grandpa: He is so cold, but he cares about you.

Jinsoo: Yeah, I guess. But I am still scared of him

I leave the dining room and go to the bedroom to get ready

A few minutes go by and I hear a knock on my door

I open the door and see why brother

Min-ho: I am leaving for college, you need anything, call me. I will come to pick you up from the library at 4 pm.

I nod my head and he leaves.

I grab my bag and phone and go to the front door

Grandma: After coming back from the library, help me at the restaurant.
