The Road We Walk On

10 | Stay out of it

In record time, Seokhoon and Rona's visas were all finalised. In 2 days, they were going to be flying to New York. Both of them did not have much to bring, mainly their school materials - like music score books and clothes. Suryeon had already started shipping Seokhoon and Rona's items the day after all the details were finalised with Alex.

Oppa, what are you busy with?

Seokhoon clammed up, he had not decided how he was going to tell Seokkyung that he was going to New York with Rona. He knew that she would not be reacting well to the news. Even though Seokkyung never quite expressed it, Seokhoon knew that she was very aware of Rona. Even at school, he often found Seokkyung staring at Rona whenever the teacher praised Rona. Clearly, there was jealousy involved.

Nothing much, just cleaning up my things.

Your section of the study room, is look really empty. Why is that?

Oh, no particular reason, I have been re-organising all my books and items so I donated quite a few of these things away.

Eh.. is that so. By the way, Oppa, are you going to be applying to SNU? It would be fantastic if we both apply to the same University don't you think? I spoke to Appa already about it.

Why would you be speaking to Appa? Does Omma know about this?

Why can't I? Why do I need to tell Omma every single action I take? I am already almost 18, I can handle my own affairs.

It is never a good idea to interact with Appa, you know this. Why do you still insist on being in close contact with him?

Seokkyung was getting more angry as she continued to talk to her brother. Why couldn't he understand her? These past few days, Seokhoo had been fairly secretive, he often was not at home. Clearly he was with Rona. Why does he only care about her now?

You have no right to interfere in my life. You have been completely blinded by Rona, you don't even like her.

I do. I admit that in the beginning, I may have considered just playing with her heart but right now, this feeling I have towards her is real.

Then fine, since you care so much about her, just focus on her. You don't need to care about me.

Why won't I care about you? You are my sister, of course I care. I am just warning you, Appa wouldn't have reached out to you if he didn't want something.

So what? Appa wants something from me, well I too want something from him. Appa always said that the one who wins is the one who is willing to do anything to get it. So I am willing to do anything, so stay out of it.

With that Seokkyung stormed out of the study room, Seokhoon sighed in frustration. He always knew that despite the abuse they suffered as children. Seokkyung had always strived to gain their father's approval and attention. Looks like he was getting to her, he needed to warm his mother before he left. Once he does leave, there would be no one but Suryeon to look out for Seokkyung.
