"And what would you call this time?!" Jiyeon yelled and pointed at the clock that displayed the current time as 8:35 AM. That meant I had been gone for almost a day, and the scolding she was about to give me would be regretful.

"Where were you all night?! You didn't even message me either! How did I know you weren't kidnapped or murdered?!" Worry and panic rushed over her and she walked closer to me.

"I'm not any of the two when I'm standing here in front of you alive and intact," I argued and she eyed me up and down.
"Well explain what you were doing all night! Tell me the reason why you didn't even send me a message to let me know!"

"I don't need to tell you anything. It isn't any of your business. Just leave me alone." I shook my head and attempted to walk past her but she stopped me and grabbed my wrist to prevent me from walking away any further.

"Don't just walk away from me. You haven't explained. It is my business because I have to be taking care of you. What would I do if something bad ever happened to you and I didn't know where you were?" Jiyeon yelled and I sighed heavily to myself and held my forehead in despair.

Will she ever give it a break? I'm not a child anymore and she can't control me anymore. Just because she has the older sister privileges over me, doesn't mean she can control me.

"I can take care of myself. I don't need you supervising me all the time." I yelled back and she froze in place. Her actions were starting to bother me because of how frequent they were.
It wasn't just a one-time thing every few months, it happened nearly every day and I'm starting to get sick of it by this point.

How can I live in this house when no one even trusts me enough to not question me about every little thing I do? It's so suffocating.

"Don't yell at me! Who is older than you again? That's right, I am. So don't raise your voice at me!" Jiyeon stomped her foot and yelled even more at me as I just rolled my eyes and shook my head at her childish antics.

"I can do what I want. You're not controlling me anymore. If you continue to act like that then I will just move out. I don't need to depend on you anymore. I have my job and can easily move out whenever I want to." I spat and she crossed her arms while raising an eyebrow at me.

It seemed that one triggered her as she didn't say anything for a few moments and was stuck in thought until she eventually said something. "Fine. Then move out. If you're not happy here then leave. It's that simple."

"Do you think it's that easy when I have a stubborn older sister who doesn't let me do anything? How do I know you won't just prevent me from leaving and be selfish again?" I rolled my eyes and she gasped with her hand over her mouth as if I just offended her.

"Me? Selfish? How dare you call me that?! Do you not know the extent I had to go through just to provide for you so you had a place to live? you How dare-" I cut her off.

"You sound like a mother. Don't act like you're not relying on of father's money just to pay the rent here. At least I pay for my things and don't rely on someone else." The anger was coursing through me at that point and after I spoke she froze. A small tear fell down her cheek and she looked away from me. Her face softened and she walked a few steps away from me before she paused and looked back at me.
