The Lieutenant opened the penthouse door, rolling in a luggage.
She turned around smiling at the tall figure, pointing at the spare guest room.
"She's in there."
The man nodded, thanking her for picking her up at the airport.
He quietly made his way to the said room, peeking in to see his little sister make the bed for him.
Jennie patted the pillow, looking up to see her brother smile gently.
"Are you okay?" She held her brothers hand, squeezing it to try and get his attention.
He didn't turn around, but when Jennie tugged him to her and he moved back and turned around.
I forgot, you can't feel like half of your body.
"Oppa?"
He had a gentle smile, sitting down with his sister. "I'm okay, Jennie." He patted her head, and the designer instinctively leaned on his shoulder.
"Oppa, I missed you." She whispered, tears sitting her eyes, she sunk further into his shoulder. "I'm so sorry." She apologized, biting on her finger.
"It's my fault, Jennie." He said. "My addictions and my actions are the rest of me. It's my fault."
Jennie shook her head, a breath escaping her lips. "I wish I didn't leave at the time I did, Oppa. You needed me."
"I did, but I can not lean on you all the time. I am older than you, it's you who should lean on me." He said proudly.
He couldn't be more excited for his little sisters future endeavours after her hard work.
The designer had been keeping up with her brother after Jisoo told her about the small incident at his apartment.
She promises to keep an eye on him, check on and talk to him like old times sake.
She made an extra effort to do this despite her busy schedule, she didn't want to lose him like she did with Jisoo.
She sighed, kissing her brother on the cheek.
"Please, if you ever feel like you're thinking about unpleasant things and need someone to talk to, I'm here." She sat up and frowned, a little glare at her brother for failing to do this before.
Seunghyun laughed, ruffling her hair. "I will. I don't want to take precious time away from you. My little sister is taking the world by storm."
"My big runway is in two days. Will you attend?"
"Wouldn't miss it for the world." He said, a proud smile on his face, pulling her in for a hug.
"It means the world to me." She whispered, smiling back to him.
"I know. You've worked hard on it. I saw all your notebooks on the kitchen counter, I'm assuming you're trying to do last minute stuff?"
Jennie nodded, brushing her hair back. She threw her legs over her brothers lap, curling up close to him.
"Last couple of days I've been stressed, I'm nervous but at the same time really excited. I'm thankful I have people like Jisoo and my friends to ground me."
"If you aren't grounded you'd be working 24/7. Would you even sleep, eat?"
"Jichu yelled at me for not sleeping. Joohyunie yelled at me for not eating so now every hour she comes in with a crap ton of food and sits and watched me eat while we work."
Her brother had a hearty laugh, nodding.
"Take care of yourself, I have 2 nieces that need to be fed."
