My eyes widened as I saw Uncle Jang, looking at me through his wide glasses.

SUNG YEOL : Welcome home dad. (-bowing-)

ME : (-settling my hairs-) Welcome home Uncle. (-slight bow-)

UNCLE : What happened? Were you both fighting again?

SUNG YEOL : Yes.

ME : (-in sync-) No.

I whipped at him with a death glare while this time, he stuck out his tongue at me.

UNCLE : (-laughs-) Grow up, you two.

He casually walked to the couch before sitting on it. And while that happened, I rushed to Sung Yeol with a hit on his arm following by.

SUNG YEOL : (-whisper shouts-) Yah!

Showing no bother to him, I stood with a poker face as Uncle promptly looked at us then.

UNCLE : (-looking at Sung Yeol-) So, how was your flight? And what about the "important thing" you wanted to tell me?

I blinked confused at Sung Yeol, completely aliened out at Uncle words. Sungyeol, however, simply smiled with an enigmatic feel to it.

SUNG YEOL : Deh. (-after a short silence-) I wanna get married, Dad.

UNCLE & ME(unison) : WHAT?! To whom?

SUNG YEOL : (-nervous smile-) We are both settled in our own paths and had been dating for 3 years now. So, we decided to upgrade our relationship.

UNCLE : (-nodding with a smile-) Well thought, son. I was pondering over your marriage anyways. Invite her with her family for dinner tomorrow.

SUNG YEOL : (-surprised-) Oh! Really? (-big smile-) Thanks, Dad.

Uncle passed on a simple nod as he made his way to his room next. Then there was me– still nonplussed at the brief conversation between them.

SungYeol, with his hands tucked in his pockets, smiled at me and bent in a little to match my height as he faced me.

SUNG YEOL : You okay?

I was totally overwhelmed by the two of my best buddies' sudden marriage announcement– too much for me to take in a single day.

Though, I was happy for them, a part, just a tiny little part of me felt envious for I had no luck with the same. However, instantly banishing the rather gormless thought off my system, I was snapped out by SungYeol as he snapped his fingers at me.

SUNG YEOL : Are you here? (-chuckles mockingly-)

ME : (-hits his arms-) Yah! Why didn't you tell me before?

SUNG YEOL : You just heard. Isn't that enough? (-teasingly-)

ME : (-huffs-) Anyways, who is she? Do I know her? (-smirks-)

Before he replied, he got a call and blushed looking at the caller ID.

ME : (-chuckles-) Are you blushing? Who is it? (-peeking in his phone-)

SUNG YEOL : (-hiding his phone and speaks calmly-) None of your business. (-pushing my head with his index finger-)

ME : So cheap. (-frowns-)
