XXVII : Afraid

I laughed out loud as Jisang's character farted on Jimin's.

"Well thank you Park Jisang!" Jimin said.

"For what, hyung?" Jisang answered in reply.

"Crushing your hyung's dignity to the last pieces!" Jimin made a swift move and succeeded to put Jisang in a headlock.

"Aigoo this kid, aigo-"

"Kids!" Mrs. Park suddenly appeared on the doorway.

"I said you may play as long as you played with Jinhee! How dare you make use of her presence to play by yourselves instead?!" she approached her sons and started grabbing them by the ear.

"Aigoo this mean little scoundrels, why are you ignoring such a poor girl!"

"Ah! Mom it hurts!" Jimin complained.

"Gwaenchanayo eomonim, it's fun watching them play," I giggled watching the scene that's happening in front of me.

"Jisang-ah, lend Jinhee noona your controller!"

"Ah arasseo arasseo, I'll just go to my room and build my robots instead." Jisang handed me the controller and left Jimin's room.

"Tell me if he does anything bad okay my daughter-in-law?" Mrs. Park smiled.

"Mom seriously?! If this is how you're going to be, I'm not gonna marry her!" Jimin curled his eyebrows and made a sour expression.

I suppose I looked funny, since I grinned even though his words gave me mixed up feelings that made the butterflies in my tummy do somersaults.

"Then I'll just have Jisang marry her," Mrs. Park answered and walked away, closing the door to Jimin's room.

"WHAT?!" Jimin's eyes widened and he sat straight up.

"Eomma~" a muffled sound of Jisang whining from his room was heard.

"YAH, FORGET IT PARK JISANG! HYUNG IS NEVER GOING TO LET THAT HAPPEN, YOU UNDERSTAND?" Jimin yelled, facing the wall that seperated his room to Jisang's.

"Whatever you say hyung," Jisang lazily answered.

I can't stop myself from smiling and hugged my knees, trying to hide my face behind them. But Jimin seemed to caught my eyes that were still staring at him.

"What?" Jimin glared back.

"Nothing..." I shook my head, still smiling.

"Yah, you're not gonna marry Jisang aren't you?!"

I playfully shrugged.

"Heol?! Lee Jinhee you're-"

"Aish, of course I'm not gonna do that!" I snapped at him.

He kept on glaring at me for a few moments, until finally stopping to change the game.

A scary-looking abandoned house suddenly appeared on the screen and eerie music started playing.

"Jimin what the f-" I placed down my controller.

"Not this game okay?!"

"It's okay, I'll be here with you the whole game!" he tried convincing me.

"And how's that supposed to make me feel better?!"

"Yah!"

"Come on, we didn't even get to try the haunted house attraction at Lotte World because of you!" he started shaking me left and right.

I groaned and finally agreed, reluctantly, because I felt bad at what he just said.

The game was basicly about exploring around a haunted house, unraveling the mysteries of its bloody past. I grabbed a pillow from Jimin's bed and embraced it as I played, burying my face into it each time the game made any suspicious sound effects. So far, there had been no sightings of anything scary. Just blood prints on the floor appearing, windows suddenly breaking, and stuffs like that. I winced everytime but am still surviving.
