Choi Hyun Suk

I left the house on the way to school like my usual mornings except, she's still with me.

"So, you walk to school?" She asked. "Is it not obvious?" I looked at her annoyed. "Tch, you're harsh and cold as always." She crossed her arms and looked away.

While walking in silence, I crossed paths with a familiar face; Kim Doyoung.

"Doyoung!" I ran up to him and swung my arm over his shoulder. "Hyun Suk hyung..!"

Although he sounded excited to see me like usual, something's off with his tone of voice, as usual. I think now that I met his sister i've figured out why he always sounds down.

I thought of approaching him because we've become close these past months he's a new student after all.

"Are you okay?" I asked taking a good look at him again. "I am." He shaked his head and shrugged it off. "If you say so." I removed my arm from his shoulder and just started walking by his side.

I randomly took a glance towards her and surprisingly she's not looking at me, her eyes are fixed on Doyoung.

The same expression on her face when I first saw her. That's right, I first saw her when she was following Doyoung after school. Things are—quite gloomy around these two.

I wanted to ease up the mood but surprisingly, i'm having a hard time. Although annoying, someone butted in the conversation at the right timing.

That someone swung his arm over my shoulder and yelled "Hyun Suk hyung~~~" I looked up at the person, already knowing him just by voice.

"I didn't know I was gonna be annoyed this early, Junkyu." I commented with a smile full of mockery.

"Come on, you love me." Junkyu looked at me with that cutesy face of his that gets under my skin.

"Ew." I briefly answered swiftly shifting my gaze to her for about a second. "You're so mean!" He faked cry.

"Oh and by the way! Doyoung! Hyung!" Junkyu suddenly called our attentions.

"Byounggon hyung invited us to have a meal later." He announced. "Wait, hyung, i'm included?" Doyoung asked and he sounded nervous.

"Of course, you're part of our group now! Our maknae!" Junkyu patted Doyoung's head, messing his hair up.

That is true, our group consists of different people in different years. Doyoung is the youngest considering he's still a sophomore.

"The ones going are... Byounggon hyung, Yedam, Seunghun, Jihoon, me and of course, you two!" Junkyu enthusiastically stated.

"Not accepting no as answer so don't even." Junkyu told us, although i'm sure that he was directing that statement to me. Everyone knows how much I hate going out.

But since today is Friday and our first week of the second semester ended, I wouldn't wanna be a party killer.

"You're gonna go right? Woaaahhh, I never though that i'd see the day where Doyoung will have actual fun." —the sister

"Anyways, where should we eat? Ahhh, I want to karaoke as well." —Junkyu

"Hey, you better take care of him. Wait hold on, am I gonna be there as well?" —the sister

"I should take a lot of pictures.  It's Doyoung's first time going out with us!" —Junkyu

"CAN EVERYONE SHUT UP!" Oops. I might have—raised my voice more than I should have. Almost everyone is looking at me.

Doyoung looked at me shocked, Junkyu looked at me scared, while I heard one certain female snicker. Which of course, I glared at her.

"Was I t-t-talking that much? S-s-sorry hyung." Apparently, Junkyu thought that I was glaring at him since he's also in Soyou direction.

Man, I don't even want to explain. I just sighed and continued walking. I felt that Junkyu and Doyoung looked at each other and... Doyoung let out a small and short chuckle.

I looked back at Doyoung and since he laughed, it made me happy too.

"Ohhh look at that, you made him laugh." She had a relieved expression and smile in her face.

"You. Why is Doyoung included in your wish?"
I asked, a question that has formed after all the events that happened the past days and today.

"What even is your name?" After the two major questions I asked, she stopped walking. Her eyes changed and the smile on her face disappeared, not even a faint smile could be seen; it might just be the first time I saw her look serious.

"About time you asked." She started. At the same time she looked up, in the blue sky.

"I'm Kim Soyoung. That night, I left my younger brother waiting."
