이희승 :: The Curse of Love: Unloving You

021

As soon as we got home, we were welcomed by the empty house. Mom wasn't there and even dad. It made me think that they went overseas. Still, Seolhee wasn't talking to me ever since we entered the bus.

I took off my coat and went to hang it on the rack. I place my shoes on the side. ❝I'll go prepare for our dinner.❞ Seolhee told me in a cold tone. Baby, your words are scaring me. And I was right now. I'm scared because she's not talking to me and preventing herself from me. It was like a knife, stabbing me at my chest.

I went to get her bag that was left on the floor and went upstairs to just place it in her room. I roamed my eyes around her room. Some of her sweatshirts are scattered on her bed and the rest of her things are still in their place. I'm glad that she didn't make a mess before we even went camping.

I put her bag on her office chair and went to get the two sweatshirts and put it back in her closet. A frame caught my attention when I was putting on her clothes. I went to get it out from the cabinet.

It was me and Seolhee in one frame. I wasn't even surprised that she hid it in her closet. My hold from the frame tightened a bit when I had already figured out the reason why she hid it. She hated me that much, huh? I placed it on her shelf, where her medals and trophies are placed.

Two frames were also placed along with the trophies. The one was her and Yeonjun hyung when they both won in the dance competition. Both of them were biting their medals as they were joking around. Then in the other frame, it was Seolhee's team in volleyball when they won.

I just placed our photo in between on the other frame and went out from her room. I could already smell the stew while I was going down. I made my way to the kitchen and saw my sister stirring the stew.

I went to approach her and tied her hair into a ponytail before I could even wrap my arms around her little waist to back hug her. As I rested my chin to her shoulder I could already smell her floral scent, attracting me more. ❝Get your hands off me.❞ She commanded but I didn't listen, it was just my hands only resting spot.

❝I don't want to.❞ I teased as I even tighten the hug. She's mad at me and I know that but... what was the reason? Why? ❝Did... I do something wrong to make you mad, Seolhee?❞ I asked directly but she just didn't answer me. She wasn't even doing anything and just left stunned after I asked her that question.

Then, I just decided to quit hugging her and went to turn her body to face me. I placed my both hands on her sides, preventing her from escaping from me. ❝Are you jealous, baby?❞ I just suddenly asked as I thought of what I did this afternoon, when she caught me and Aori kissing.

❝N-no—❞ I cut her off as I heard her soft but stuttering voice. Damn, this is driving me crazy. My heart was about to get out of its cage. ❝You're stuttering, baby.❞ I smiled as I reached for her soft cheeks and caressed it. She's so obvious and cute at the same time.

❝I won't say that you misunderstood. But... I didn't force her.❞ I confessed but the real reason why I kissed Aori is because I thought about you, Seolhee. I missed your lips. ❝Why? I didn't even asked you to explain what happened.❞ She pushed me away as she turned off the gas stove and went to get a plate and add the newly cooked rice on it.

❝Say it, Seolhee, say that you're in love with me too! So that this game is over...❞ My last sentence was like a whisper, after I realized that I raised my voice to my sibling. ❝I wanna hear that you're in love with me...❞ I bit my lower lip when she didn't say a word and just stared at me blankly.

I was frightened, seeing her eyes looking at me coldly. Baby... you're always throwing my feelings away... she went to scoop some of the stew and then place it on the table. ❝You're just hungry hurry up and eat. I'll just eat later.❞ She then left me at the kitchen, dumbfounded and disappointed at the same time.

[Days later]

Walking on the hallway, Seolhee bumped into a girl. ❝Watch it!❞ She told in a annoying tone. Seolhee just went to get the fallen paperwork that scattered on the ground. The Lee heard the girl get mad and started to scold Seolhee for bumping into her. Seolhee can't believe that the girl still has the audacity to tell her that it was he who got bumped into by her.

Lifting her gaze as she went to see the girl. 'Yoona' is one of Heeseung's girlfriends. Flipping her hair, as Yoona started to walk again elegantly as if nothing happened and left the girl picking up the paper on her own.

Seolhee let out a sigh and let it pass. As she arrived at the teachers' office, Seolhee went to open the door and peek if their subject teacher was already there. Seolhee gathered her strength before entering and going straight to her History teacher.

Placing the paperwork of her class on the teacher's table, Seolhee bowed and was about to go out but her History teacher stopped her. ❝Seolhee, can you go to the detention room?❞ Brows knitted as she asked the teacher why but Mr. Nakajima just sighed as he went to hold the bridge of his nose.

❝It's because of your brother, Lee Heeseung. What's wrong with him today? He doesn't wanna listen to my lesson and even sleeps. That sounds not like him.❞ Seolhee gulped. Even though Heeseung is a flirty jerk, he'll never do anything that makes his teacher mad. But now, what happened? That's Seolhee's thoughts.

❝He even raised his voice and fought back on their physics teacher.❞ Mr. Nakajima was sounded disappointed. Giving a blank paper and a pen to Lee Heeseung's sibling, as Mr. Nakajima told to her, ❝Give it to him and told to write a apology letter. You'll be staying there and watch over him.❞

Seolhee wanted to let out a sigh but just bowed instead before she even got going and went to the detention room. ❝It's also like a punishment to me too.❞ Seolhee sighed and stopped in front of the detention room.

'Here it goes' Seolhee was nervous as she knocked at the door before going in. Seolhee wasn't surprised that Yoona was here. ❝What are you doing here?❞ Heeseung welcomed her in a cold tone. Walking towards the sibling, as she places the blank paper on the desk. ❝Your homeroom teacher Mr. Nakajima wanted you to make an apology letter. If not, he'll tell it to mom.❞

❝Then I'll be going, love. I'll see you later.❞ Giving a peck on Heeseung's cheek before Yoona even went out of the detention room. Seolhee on the other hand, felt disgust at their relationship.

Heeseung lazily reached for the blank paper and the pen that his sister Seolhee was holding. As he was about to reach the pen on Seolhee's hand, she talked. ❝I thought you and Yoona are already done?❞ Taking a glance at the sibling for a second, and then he finally got the pen and ignored the sibling.

Seolhee scoffed as she received no response from Heeseung. ❝Hey, I'm talking to you!❞ Still, no response. Seolhee was about to explode in madness when Heeseung continued ignoring her.

Heeseung kept secretly glancing at her every minute and once wondered that she wasn't leaving the detention room. ❝Why don't you leave, than to stay?❞
