Hyunjin's P.O.V:

Ain't this just funny?

Earlier, we were just having fun in the mall and having the best fucking day of our lives….

And then shit turned 360° like a damn owl's head. Yongbok suddenly confessed to me…and told me that the guy he was referring to that he liked all along, was ME.

I still couldn't move on from that just yet. And I don't think I will ever be.

Then now, this! He's heading to Japan and will be staying there for three fucking weeks.

He'll be there…for weeks. And this house…will be quiet again.

Quiet. Like how it used to be. It will be back to normal just how I like it.

Finally, peace right?

There's no kid that will randomly sing a song that wakes me early in the morning. No deep voice that startles me and saying goodbye from the door before he leaves for work. No annoying kid will call me his landlord, his hyung, and his friend.

No one…will cook for my breakfast and dinner.

Was that…was that the reason why he was trying to teach me how to cook? Because he knows that I'll starve myself from how talentless I am in the kitchen while he's away?

Fuck…that fucking kid just really think ahead of time, doesn't he?

As of now, we're inside the house since it has gotten colder already. All the utensils we used were brought to the kitchen sink to be cleaned up. And surprisingly, Chan hyung and Minho hyung are still here. They helped us set down the lights and put them back in their boxes.

I'm currently on the couch as the other boys in my house were busy cleaning stuff. I wanted to help but Yongbok insisted not to exhaust me any longer, which I'm pissed about but I couldn't do no shit about it or Yongbok will continuously nag at me.

While I'm in the middle of resting and my eyes closed, I felt the side of the couch dipping. Someone sat beside me and I think it's no other than–

"What do you want, Chan hyung?" I muttered while my eyes remained shut.

I heard him chuckle. "Weird that you're quick to figure that it was me even with your eyes closed but not Yongbok liking you for a month now."

That made me abruptly open my eyes, cheeks burning in embarrassment. 

"Fuck off."

"You know I'm not. It's my cousin we're talking about." His voice now shifted into something serious.

"Your cousin is so stubborn, just like you. You really are a family."

Hyung giggled. "Of course. But yeah, I heard what's your answer to his question."

"Of course you did. You and Minho hyung were eavesdropping all the time."

"I'm glad that you didn't reject him."

A scoff passed through my throat. "I thought you were eavesdropping? Didn't you hear how many times I tried to tell him not to pursue liking me?"

"I did. But still, you didn't reject him badly and made him cry. You didn't say yes, but you didn't say no and hurt his feelings either. Why is that?"

His question stumped me. Yeah. Why is that?

It took me minutes to come up with something that is acceptable and ethical to believe. "I….I don't fucking know. What I just want him to do is to stop his feelings for me as soon as possible. I don't deserve him, hyung. He deserves someone else."
