"Hey, Noona! Are you ready yet?" I yelled, wondering why she was taking so long to get dressed. As I waited for her to come out of her room, I wondered if all girls were like this.
"I'm coming!" Noona shouted from her room. I turned to look at her door and saw her in a pretty dress, but she chose to wear jeans instead.
"What took you so long? We're not going to have fun. We're going to visit our parents," I said as I got up from the couch.
"Why were you always wearing pants and jeans? You look great in a dress!" I exclaimed as we walked out the door.
"Wearing a dress was hard for me to run when I was in a hurry. It gives me a hard time." She explained. It's true. She is always in a hurry when doing her job.
"Anyway, I notice that you and Mingi hyung have avoided each other. Why? Are you guys fighting?" I asked when remembered what had happened with them after the match.
"I've been really busy with studies and other things lately, so we haven't had much time to talk," she explained, although I wasn't entirely convinced.
"Well, now's your chance to catch up since we're riding with him," I said as we stepped out of the building. She stopped walking when she saw someone.
"Did you ask him to drive us?" she asked me, glaring.
"I did, but that's not the only reason. He's been asking about you. Please don't avoid him, noona," I said as I climbed into Mingi's car and locked the door of the backseat. She tried to open it but it was locked.
"Woo-young, open the door," she demanded, still glaring.
"There's a free seat up front. Just sit there," I told her. She said nothing and got into the passenger seat. I glanced at her and Mingi hyung, but neither of them said anything. It was an unusual silence.
"Talk. I'll listen to my music. When we arrived I wanted both of you already made up." I said taking out my headphones and putting them on my head. I do want to know what they want to talk but eavesdropping is a bad thing. So, I will let them be.

I don't know what her problem is. Every time I bump into her, she runs away. When I call her, she rejects it, and when I text her, she reads it but doesn't reply. Did I do something wrong? What is it?
"Jung, can you please say something? Did I do something to make you hate me? If I did, please tell me, and I'll fix it," I said. We were both at the lake. After visiting her parents, Woo-young wanted us to talk about it. He didn't want to disturb us and went to the nearest town to look around. I was glad to have a friend like him. He was very understanding.
"No, you did nothing wrong. It's just me. I was trying to distance myself from you." What she said made it a bit shocking.
"Why? You don't want to be friends with me anymore? Please don't be like this. I can lose everything but not you. Please don't do this to me." I said a bit desperate. I love her so much and losing her is something too hard for me to endure. She is too precious.
"Song, please. I want to live with my effort. I don't want to depend on you all the time. You help me and Woo-young too much. I know you love our friendship and Woo-young too. This time, please... Just let me be with myself." Those words coming from her stabbed into my heart.
"Y/N." I spoke but nothing else could comes out from my mouth. It's hurting so much.
"Please. Don't ask me more." She said and walked away. I clutch on my left chest where I feel hurt. I can feel the warm on my cheeks. This is the first time I cry for a girl.
"Hyung?" I looked upon the voice calling me. Woo-young was there with ice cream in his hand but not too long when it dropped on the ground. He was running towards me and hugged me tight.
"Why are you crying?" He asked. I choked up on his question. I can't say anything. I could feel he also crying in silent.
"It's over now. She... Leaving me." That all I can say.
"W-why? I don't see any problems with you. How could she do that?" He asked broke the hug. I could see tears on the corner of his eyes.
"It makes me... Hate her." He said.
"Don't say that. She might have reasons for what she did. Just give her some time." I said still concern about her situation.
"Why did you still care about her? She hurt you, hyung. She also hurt me too." He said wiping his tears. Just then, he got texts from her saying that she has to leave first.
"She didn't even wait for us." He was disappointed with his sister more than me.
"Let's go home." I said wiping my cheeky and went to my car. On the way home, we just keep silent. I just got rejected without confessions while Woo-young. He just been ignored by his sister who he love the most.
"Noona didn't love me anymore." He mumbles while looking out of the window. I understand his sadness but that is not the problem. Y/N did love him more than anything else.
Between me and Woo-young are big different. She might distance herself from me but she would never abandoned her own brother. Friends might be end at the last whilst family will never be. Maybe this is the best way for both us before I get to deep falls in love with her. I only wish she will find her happiness.
