Opposites Attract || Ong Seongwoo

Sujin Talk-time

Chapter Six

"Seongwoo? Is that you ?"

Her mother who's in her pallete apron, Mrs.Ong stood by the door as he step in.

"I'm not having dinner" He inform her briefly with a bow before going to the steps.

"You can't skip dinner!" He heard her mother yelled downstair.

"How was your day?" His sister, Ong Sujin who's standing right by the stairs on the second floor asks.

"Nothing special" He replied as he arrives right in front of her.

She was holding her baby, Seongwoo's nephew, Hwang Jun.

"Hi tiny brat" Seongwoo greets while brushing his fingertips lightly on the baby's chin before walking off.

First thing he usually does after ariving home is to go to his father office.

"He'll be home late today." She informs before he could open the door.

"Ohh..okay" Seongwoo nonchalantly replied as he rubbed the back of his neck, feeling exhausted.

"He also remind me to tell you to leave your report card on his desk" She adds before rocking the baby in her arms.

Seongwoo clears his throat before looking back at her.

"Ahh, i still haven't gotten it yet" He replies getting a chuckle from the older woman.

"He called the school. And they said that you already received it two days ago. Why? Did you get low average?" Sujin asking as she walks to him with full concern.

"Nah, but it just one point lower than my previous one. I've been busy with the student council and he's going to freak out again. I don't have time for that now. I'm tired. Can't he just scold me after the school upcoming festival?" Seongwoo groan before walking to his bedroom door.

His sister only watch him while shaking her head.

"When i was in your age your whole average just for one semester was my whole everage for the whole school year. Your previous average is still excellant. One point less is still high" She muffles before going downstairs.

Seongwoo collaped on his bed right after he enter his room. Unlike his image in school, he's much quiter when he's at home. This is where he loses his confidence and control over things that he usually has whenever he's at school. However the pressure he put himself in is still the same.

He turns his body to face the ceiling. He abruptly get up from bed upon remembering he still got something to do. He walks to his desk, turn on his laptop. Before starting his research homework, he checks his notification on the open student council board.

Since he is the president, he usually got the most messages either for complaints, feedbacks, questions about the transferees and etc. Some girl even use the open student council board as their way to confess to Seongwoo. Maybe because that's the only way they could confess without being block or getting avoid.

62 messages.

See! He got that much just in a day.

He massage his temple before open the one by one. Carefully in case there's some important matters. He automatically pressed delete to all confession messages without giving guilt.

Fortunately today the messages just full with gratitidue and support for the student council. They don't really had the guts to complaint since they could only used their student identification for the accounts. So they can't throw rubbish massaged anonymously.

Just as he about to start his homework, there was a knock on his door.

"I baked some cookies this afternoon. Eomma said she wouldn't force you for dinner but you must eat something no matter what" His sister came in with a tray in her hands.

She placed the tray on his desk before peeking to his laptop.

"I know you must be tired with your tittle in school. But Seongwoo.. Noona expect you to have a wonderful life in your youth. You missed so much already. I've did a lot of things when i was in your age so it's not a surprise that appa control everything for you now since noona being a rebel before. Noona know he control you for your own goodness but noona wants you to choose you own happiness. Don't let appa get you a fixed marriage like noona did"

Seongwoo without blinking look at her sister. What's gotten into her?

"Noona are you perhaps not in a good terms with hyung?"

Hearing nothing from Sujin, Seongwoo continue.

"I thought after having Jun, things got better than before between you both"

"Seongwoo.. noona don't expect much from fixed marriage. even though we've knew each other from middle school, and expect to ended up together" Sujin let out a sigh before looking at her brother again.

"Do you know what's coming this week?"

"Your birthday" Seongwoo answer without hesitancy. He then continue writing down some answer in his work.

"Even you know about it yet he my husband didn't even remember if eomma didn't mention to let him know" She let out a sigh again. This time Seongwoo couldn't help it anymore.

"Noona you should talk about this to hyung and not me. "

"Can you not rub it on my face? I'm asking for a comfort here" She complaint softly.

"I don't know how to help you noona. Eventually i'll end up in the same situation, so what's the point of being soft about it" He admitted before typing something on his keyboard.

"Don't you wants to fall in love? Choose whoever you want to love instead of waiting for appa to open up another business with some big company. I mean.. in time i learn how to care for Minhyun and it mostly because he is the father of my son but still.. Isn't it depressing while thinking that we wouldn't have all this if its not because of business thing?" Sujin ask while pouting.

Seongwoo rolls his eyes before turn his chair to face his sister.

"Okay.. I don't know where this conversation lead but i'm tired and kinda busy too. I appreciate your cookies but i already told you. I don't know. I don't understand your situation yet." He blurts out with worn out expression.

Sujin shook her head and pat her brother shoulder.

"You still young when this happen but you do know that Minhyun has a girlfriend before we married right? She commited suicide because of this whole thing and up till now i still carry the guilt. Do you want to experience that?"

"I wouldn't experience that because i never like any girl before and don't have time to date any of them." Seongwoo replies immediately while messing his hair. He didn't know how to shoo her away.

"What if you do? Sooner or later? What if you fall in love?" His sister smirk.

"Oh god.. noona its already 7.40pm and i would already finish this if it's not because of you"

"Fine! you so grumppy. You're still young to be this haggard. Have some fun will you? Try dating or something and your mood will be better. Live your life Seongwoo-ya" she advise, ruffling her brother's hair.

"Dating? not even interested" He groan while fixing his hair again.
