8. Crush-ed

Beating yourself up, you groaned to yourself. Why is he making me feel this way? The scenes that happened just earlier today replaying in your head. Your heart started to race up again thinking about it.

"Sis!!" You heard Kenji yell from downstairs.

Propping yourself up, you dragged yourself downstairs even though you were exhausted. "What is it Kenji? It's late, what are you doing still up?"

Finding him sitting at the dining table, he lifted up the strawberry that was in his hand. "Come eat some fruit."

Smiling, you sat down across from him. "Where's mom?"

"She went out with her boyfriend again." He answered with.

Looking down at the table, you rested your head and closed your eyes.

"What's wrong sis?" He asked confused by your sudden mood.

"Say..." You hesitated. I can't believe I'm about to ask my little brother this. "How do people know when they like- how do you know exactly when- do-"

He cut you off after seeing you struggle so much. "Do you have a crush on someone?" He asked what seemed to be the obvious.

Your eyes shot open. "What?"

He laughed. "Just a guess."

"I'm not sure." You answered with.

He crossed his arms. "Well, tell me about it."

You cringed. "I don't know Kenji, it's... confusing."

He only laughed again. "Try me."

Then you remembered all the times he whined to you about how girls were so difficult, and every time he and his girlfriend broke up you had to take him out to get ice cream to cheer him up. Then those midnight rants where he complained and went on about how he felt about his girlfriends.

"Alright." You said daringly. "I guess, just recently...he's been surprisingly me a lot. Like, things he say, how he acts, and what he...does." You groaned and banged your head on the table in defeat. "And it's messing my head up because I never saw him this way until now."

Kenji made a thinking face. "Give me a scenario."

Your face slightly blushed thinking about it. "I guess...when he genuinely compliments me. Like when he said he liked seeing my smile." You then groaned again remember that scene where he looked like he came out of a k-drama. "Arg!"

He laughed. "That's such a simple compliment though."

You gave him a look. "There's a difference. Some people compliments others expecting something out of it, a thank you, a date, their number, or even a compliment back. But when he compliments me, they're... genuine." You explained.

Kenji smiled sweetly. "You must really like him huh?"

You denied. "I do not."

"Who is he anyways? Since we just established you do like him."

You looked away.

His mouth widened as he slowly figured it out. "Is it Toru?"

You shook your head and waved your hands in denial in an instant. "Shhh, no!"

He giggled cutely. "Well good thing for you, he's had the fattest crush on you for years!"

You froze. "What?"

He nodded his head confirming it. "I know right? I didn't think about it at first, but after my friends pointed it out, it's hard to miss!"

He then put his finger on his chin as if he was thinking. "Hmm, I'm not sure when he started to. But all that matters is, he likes you!"
