The Juveniles

Fifteen

"Taehyung-ah, please hand these over to Joohyun" Namjoon, Taehyungs older brother had given him piles of papers, "She texted me last night and asked me about these papers"

"Hyung, this is a lot" Taehyung was having a hard time carrying it.

"Yeah, so? What's the matter?"

"Does this mean she'll overwork once again?" He asked.

"Well, it will depend on her. If she chose to manage her time well, then no but if she wishes to dedicate all of her time in here, then yes" The older honestly answered.

"Why are you even asking my lovely brother? Didn't you make Joo unnie cry?" The youngest appeared and leaned on a door frame while crossing her arms.

"Shut up, Kim Yerim"

"Wait-" Namjoon got confused, "You guys fought?"

"Nope. I guess this brother of mine finally surrendered" The brat continued.

"Taehyung-ah..." Namjoon said.

Without knowing, the two boys are out along the streets of their home. Namjoon invited Taehyung for a morning walk since he knows that his brother has a problem regarding Joohyun. He knows why the two couldn't work and as a former president himself, he needs to explain more about the responsibilities that Joohyun carries.

"So, what exactly happened?"

"I don't know, hyung. I guess I'm getting tired" Taehyung answered in all honesty.

"Taehyung, I don't know if this would help but as the former president, I know how hard things could be. Joohyun carries a lot of resposibilities. Every student is her responsibility. Every student that needs to be voiced out, it would be Joohyun. From day to day, you need to make a report or if not, check the reports being made by your co- officers, down to the minutes of the meeting, budget report, complain report, you name it. She also needs to check every class if there's a problem, every kid who's been out to detention and the school programs were all on Joohyun. Literally, Joohyun is the center of the school; student-teacher-administration" Taehyung was surprised to hear that. He only knew she was busy with school programs. That's it.

"But still, despite everything, she still makes some time for her friends and for.. you" Namjoon continued.

"Barely" He mumbled.

"Barely is still considered lucky" Namjoon smiled, "When I was the president, I didn't have a time for friends and for our family, remember?"

"I understand her, hyung"

"No, you don't" Namjoon stopped that made the younger stop as well, "Let's say she agreed to date you. How do you wish your relatioship would be?"

"I guess, go to school together, attend class together, have lunch together, study together and date during the weekends"

"See, that's why she doesn't want to date you. Yet"

"What do you mean?"

"I already told you all of her responsibilities, right?" Namjoon smiled, "She's afraid she won't have any time for you and you'll demand a lot of time because you're her 'boyfriend' which is natural to seek time, attention and affection but with all that, she knows she can't give everything"

"Then what should I do, hyung?"

"Think about it really hard, Taehyung. It would be tough on you to understand her part and it would be tough on her to try to make you into her top priorities"
