MANIAC

"Olivia!! Olivia!! Come on we're gonna be late for school!!" Felix yelled from the door. "Well, sorry! I was busy, I had to take a phone call." Olivia stated with a blunt expression. "Yeah, yeah. Who was it? The phone call?" Felix asked. "I don't think that's any of your business, is it? Let's just go to school, hm?" Olivia, clearly not showing any emotion, leaves to the car. Felix always wonders what her sister is up to. She's always busy doing a lot of stuff, but she excels in school and is super popular and very defiant. It's easy that she made friends in Korea so easily as compared to him. He sighs as he walks to the door.

Felix had always had a simple life. Not one with a lot of excitement. Just the way he likes it. He's used to life going slow for him. Moving to Korea for him was very expected. His mom still lives in Australia, but she checks in from time to time. She decided that the two should at least get some connection with their Homeland, and so she sent them to Korea. Hm. Very expected.

"See you tonight." Felix told Olivia before she walked away with a bunch of her friends. 'I still don't understand the point of having so many people around you.' Felix thought, but immediately snapped out of it when he heard a very familiar voice calling his name. " Yo, Yongbok-ah!!!!" Changbin called out to him. Yep. Seo Changbin. He met the guy in one of their foreign language classes, and he saw how he was struggling with his Korean so he decided to help him and ever since then they've been close. Changbin is a soft fluff ball that likes working out. Felix learnt that a while back when he was invited to his house only to note that he has a lot of gym equipment in there. But there was something odd that the boy noticed. A lot of weaponry stacked on a wall, but Changbin explained that it's just his father's old collection, so he brushed it off anyway.

"Hey, Changbin. How are you?" Felix said with a huge grin on his face. Changbin's face lit up and greeted him with the same energy. "Hey there, bro. Ready for today's earth crushing session we are forced to call school?" "Sure, why not?" Felix answered, but something caught his eye, the fresh bruises in his hands, but he didn't bother to ask, he decided to pretend they don't exist and carried on his day like normal.

               ***********

He reaches his house later in the day, but didn't come with the car since his sister took it when her classes ended. But what really was shocking to him was that he didn't find her in the house when he came back. " She knows what she's doing. I'm sure she'll be fine." Felix assured himself and decided to cook chicken, his favourite. It's an addiction but he's not upset about it. He fries them all up and eats, not forgetting to leave some for her sister, and after the day, decides to call Olivia. She didn't pick up. Ok, now he was getting worried. He called and called and called, but nothing. Absolutely nothing. It went to voicemail each and every time. He tried the house phone but he got the same results. Nothing. Only voicemail. "Damn it, Olivia, where are you?!" He screams as he hits the table. He curses under his breath. "If something happens to you, I swear........" Just then the door swung open, revealing a very familiar face, but laced with a lot of annoyance and..... bruises? But.....from where?
"Olivia! Where the fuck have you been?! It's almost midnight!!!"
"It's none of your fucking business!!! I don't need you to act concerned, okay? I'm fine. I can handle my own shit without you having to worry about me." Olivia spat out, obviously not caring about her older brother's feelings. "Olivia, you're seventeen, you have scars on your face and your busy roaming around out at night for no apparent reason, and you expect me not to be worried?! I am your older brother, so yeah, your shit is basically mine too. So what is going on with you?! Tell me!!" Felix yelled out, obviously angry.
"I told you it's none of your business. Now leave me alone!!! Please, I need space." She finished, and stormed off, leaving Felix shocked at what he just witnesses. What is going on with her? Felix had no idea what to do. But he had to figure it out fast. He can't bear to see his sister like this.

               *************

Olivia after Felix's outburst, got a call from an unknown person, but she must've know who it was cause she was shuddering the moment she picked up the call. "You're not as tough as I thought honestly." "I'm not one to give up easily. I'm sorry Yeji for letting you down." Olivia, obviously speaking to someone she feared.
"Let's not dwell on that now. You have a free day tomorrow right, " the girl referred to as Yeji asked her with Olivia humming in response, "Good, you can come in early tomorrow, you'll be able to get in a lot of work done. See you then."

Olivia sighed as she threw the phone across the room, wondering how she was going to keep this secret from Felix for long.
