It was finally time to go home.
I waited for my brother, Sunghoon, who ran towards me. He was short-winded, he looked as if he just finished a marathon.
"You look crappy," he said as I turned around and proceeded to walk off.
"Wait! I just arrived and you're already walking off."
I rolled my eyes and stopped in my tracks. He eventually caught up to me and finally, we walked back home.
We took a pit stop at a convenience store. Sunghoon wanted snacks to eat on the way since he was hungry. I bought myself a mochi and a can of Pepsi.
Eventually, we left the store and continued with our journey home.
"Ara? Can I ask you a quick question?" Sunghoon asked.
"Please don't ask me about Yeonjun..." I thought to myself.
Without saying a word I nodded as a response. I felt so nervous in that moment.
"Why did you choose biology as a subject? I was reading a textbook that I found interesting and when I tell you I was so lost."
I burst into laughter. Sunghoon's facial expression even highlighted how confused he was. I tried to control my laughter but I couldn't.
Sunghoon chuckled. He too found it hilarious for some reason.
"I chose it because I didn't want to do Economics. I had no choice."
Sunghoon stopped in his tracks. His jaw dropped in shock. Once again I erupted into laughter.
"Are you managing?" He asked.
I assured him that I was managing and he shouldn't worry. The rest of the journey home was filled with lively conversations about various topics.
Finally, we arrived at our house. Upon arrival, I saw my father planting new flowers in our garden. Without any warning, Sunghoon ran towards him and jumped on top of him.
Hearing my father scream made me laugh. I slightly shook my head and walked through the front door. I walked upstairs to my bedroom.
I locked the door behind me. I threw my bag on the bed. I sat down on the left side of my bed and slumped backward as I stared at the ceiling.
I closed my eyes and took deep breaths before breathing at my normal pace.
"Why do I like you so much Yeonjun? Why am I crazy about you? Why do I feel so obsessed? Get out of my mind... I just want to be your friend..."
I thought to myself before a tear rolled down my right eye.
