Oh Brother ( Jangkku ff)

C - 5

I exited the car , tired of hearing my mom and Sunghoon's talking . To my disappointment , I heard Sunghoon's footsteps behind me .

They were nearing me I could tell , so I picked up my pace . For some reason this city had grade thirteen . An extra grade that gave students an extra year to decide the rest of their lives .

I had always thought it was a good idea , but then Sunghoon appeared in my life . He was in grade thirteen , which meant I would have to see him at school too .

I felt like God was punishing me at this point in my life . Thankfully , I couldn't hear Sunghoon's footsteps as I entered the school .

The hallways were already packed with teenagers . Teenagers who were screaming , flirting , texting , and goofing around . I found myself smiling at the sight , glad that I was back at the only place I felt like I mattered .

As I walked through the hallways to my locker , I spotted it at the end of a crowded hallway . Dodging past people , I eventually made it to my locker .

I smiled and opened it immediately , wanting to put my bag away . Before I could put my bag away , I was suddenly embraced from behind .

I rolled my eyes and smiled , knowing who it was . " Wonyoung ! " Liz , my best friend exclaimed . " Oh my god ! I've missed you ! " I pried her arms off of me and turned around , grinning .

Her hazel eyes were bright , alive as they shined with excitement . Only then did I realize how much I missed her . " I missed you too , " I admitted , still smiling .

She hugged me again , her straight blond hair flying everywhere as she hugged me tightly . This time I hugged her back , happy to see her . She had been my best friend since I was ten and I loved her .

Eventually letting go of me , she said frowning , " What have you been doing this summer ? You were always too busy to hang out . " " Sorry . " I sighed .

" My mom was forcing me to bond with my new step - dad and step brother . " " Oh yeah , I forgot . How are they ? " " Horrible . " I scowled .

" I hate them . Sunghoon , my step - brother . " Liz frowned . " Why ? Did he do something to you ? " it . " " No. " I sighed tiredly .

" Let's not talk about him" shrugging , Liz agreed . We then caught up and I found myself smiling my first real smile in a while .

I realized I really needed school . Just because it gave me a vacation from my ruined family .

~~~

Liz and I were standing in line , waiting to buy some fries . By now we had caught up on each other's lives and I was satisfied with my day .

My classes were awesome and my friends were all their awesome selves . Although , the best part of today was that I didn't see Sunghoon . Not yet , at least .

" Who is that ? " Liz suddenly asked , sounding amazed . " He's hot . " " Who ? " I asked curiously , looking around .

" That guy . " She pointed to the corner of the cafeteria . " The one dressed in black . " My eyes flew to where she pointed and I gasped .

I gasped as I saw the very boy I detested - Sunghoon , standing alone in the corner looking like a lost puppy .

I rolled my eyes , seeing how innocent he looked . " That guy is my step - brother , " I snapped . " The guy I hate . "

" What ? " Liz's eyes widened . " He's hot . Like , really hot . How could you hate such a beautiful creature ? " I scoffed , suddenly feeling annoyed .

" He's not hot . " " Oh yes he is hun . That boy is fine . " If this were any other case , I would have laughed . Gave in even . But this was Sunghoon we were talking about .

The guy I blew up to a day ago . The guy who snapped back at me . We seemed destined to hate each other from the start , and there was no way I'd let Liz get at him .

" Well he's off limits , okay , " I said with finality . " Pretend he doesn't exist . " Liz frowned . " You really do hate him , don't you ? " " I do , " I said , tiredly . " Let's end the conversation at that . "

Liz didn't seem happy , but she agreed . We - thankfully - changed the topic to lighter things . Things that didn't involve him .

I found myself relaxing at that . After buying our food , we walked to our table . The exact table we had been sitting at for the past two years .

My other best friend , Rei , was already sitting there . " Wonyoung ! Liz ! " Rei exclaimed once we reached the table . " I've missed you guys . " I smiled and Liz squealed .

Before I knew it we were all embracing each other thanks to Liz . I couldn't help but hug them back . After not seeing them for two months , I was able to suck up my hate for touchiness .

After letting go of each other and sitting down , Rei asked , " How are you Wonyoung ? It's been a while . " " Good , I guess , " I replied , smiling .

" How's your new family ? " " Rei ! " Luz exclaimed . " Don't ask her about her new family . It's a sensitive topic . "

My eyes narrowed at Liz . Even though I knew she was trying to be a good friend , I still felt annoyed . Deciding to ignore what Liz said , I said to Rei , " They're whatever . I prefer them gone . "

Rei's eyes widened , surprised by my brutal honesty . It wasn't that I was innocent around my friends , but I was never an asshole .

That was , until my mom married Geon - Il . " Are they that bad ? " Rei asked , still shocked . I nodded my head . " The son of my step dad is the worst . "

" Am I now ? " I tried not to show my surprise as I whipped my head around . To my utter disgust , Sunghoon was standing in front of me , raising an eyebrow . I scoffed .

" What are you doing here ? " I demanded . " We're supposed to act like we don't know each other . Remember ? " Sunghoon sighed . He looked exhausted as he shook his head .

As usual , I couldn't care less . " Wonyoung , I'm not looking for a fight , " he said tiredly . " Your mom called me . She's wants us to take the bus home . "

" What ? " My jaw dropped . Sunghoon shrugged . " She and my dad are going somewhere . "

" They always have to go somewhere ! " I snapped . " Wait ... Why did she call you ? I have a phone too . " Sunghoon shrugged again .

This time , he looked uneasy as he looked away from me . " I don't know . " " Okay , now leave . I was having a good day . "

Without another word , he obeyed and walked off . I watched him leave the cafeteria , feeling uneasy . She was my mom , yet she called Sunghoon .

Sunghoon , the boy who didn't have a single drop of her DNA in him . I didn't understand . " Wonyoung , are you okay ? " I heard Liz ask .

I quickly turned back around to face Liz and Rei . Both of them were staring at me with wide eyes , causing me to blush . I had forgotten about them .

" Yeah , I'm fine , " I replied , picking up a french fry to plop into my mouth . " You really do hate him , don't you ? " Rei asked . I nodded .

" I do . I really do . " " Why ? He's hotter up close , " Liz said jokingly . I glared at her , not wanting to talk about Sunghoon . Especially about his looks in a positive way .

" Oh Wonyoung . " Was all Rei said after I looked away from Liz . " I'm sorry . " I ignored her and focused on my food , wanting to disappear .

My mom loved Sunghoon more than me and now I had acted like a bitch in front of my friends . Life seemed to be getting harder to deal with everyday .
