My Annoying Brother

22

22.

It's been a week since that day. Today dad Seung Cheol, Jun Hui, Seok Min, Seung Kwan, Lee Chan, everybody is home for lunch. So, I decided that I would confront them today.

Lee Chan had been really gloomy since that day. So, Seung Kwan and I didn't tell him anything. We just left him be. I had been feeling a little bit sick since morning. I was about to go downstairs in the living room to them and I saw Lee Chan in front of my room looking like he wants to tell me something. But I felt nauseous and ran towards the washroom and threw up. When I came back after cleaning myself, Lee Chan was already gone. I went straight to dad and my brothers. Lee Chan was in dining space, and he looked towards me. Seung Kwan was also with him. I called for Seung Kwan. Seung Kwan came to the living room.

The sounds from the living room doesn't reach to the dining space since there is a corridor in between. But Lee Chan can see me clearly.

Dad and my brothers were sitting on the couch. I sat in a chair in front of them. Seung Kwan was standing next to me.

I asked dad if he truly loves me.

"What made you ask me this question? Of course I do! Who would we love if not you? You're our only daughter and your brothers only sister."

How can I be their only daughter when I'm not their daughter at all.

"What are you saying? What happened? Did something happen in school?"

No. I know everything. No need to hide anymore. By chance I got to know the truth about me being an orphan and them adopting me. I even met my brother. All of them knew. But still when I had introduced Vernon as my friend to them, they pretended to see him for the first time. All this time they had been acting. I'm not sad that I'm adopted by them. Rather I feel so blessed that I had them as my parents and my brothers. I love this family very much. I don't have any memories of my real parents. And that's why to me, mom and dad are my real parents.

As I talk, tears roll down my cheeks naturally. Seung Kwan hugs me. Dad, Seung Cheol, Jun Hui, Seok Min also come and hug me. I've never felt more love from them I'm feeling now.

All of us get up. I tell dad that I want to see how my parents looked like, and I wanted to see their belongings.

"You don't need to worry. I'm going to take care of it."

Lee Chan enters the room. He looks so damn scared. His eyes are red as if he's going to tear up soon. Lee Chan starts speaking in a broken and shaken voice, "Da-da-dad. I-I-I-I'm so sorry. It wasn't her fault at all."

Shit. Fuck. No. Seung Kwan and I look at each other. He is not doing it!

He continues, "I was the one who started everything."

Seung Kwan and I try to tell him not say anything in signs but he's so stupid. Seung Kwan jumps in middle of them," Dad ignore him for now. We should focus on her now."

Dad pushes Seung Kwan, "I need to listen to him what he wants to say."

Seung Kwan still tries," I thin-" But fails. Seung Cheol drags him away.

Lee Chan continues, "I guess I've liked her for too long to hold myself back. That's why all of this happened and now she is pregnant. It's all my fault. I forced her."

WHAT???!!! WHO IS PREGNANT?

Dad and my brother look towards me. Seung Kwan screams, " You are pregnant?!"

I am?!! Even I don't know I am pregnant.

Lee Chan stops shedding tears, "You-you're not?"

Lee Chan got us fucked up.
