going crazy | kim junkyu

30.

miran reaches for her phone and turns off her alarm. she can hear muffled voices coming from downstairs. she stands up, stretching. miran opens the curtain and narrows her eyes due to the bright sunlight. junkyu's curtain is open too, but the room is empty. she puts her slippers on and puts her hood up. she leaves her room and closes the door behind her. she yawns. i slept for twelve damn hours, why and how the fuck am i still tired?

when she walks in the kitchen, her parents are both sitting down, talking and sipping their coffee. she asks if there's still hot water left and her mom nods. miran makes herself coffee and sits down with them. she puts some food on a plate and starts eating. her dad tells her to wake up her brother. with heavy steps, she makes her way up to jihoon's room.

she doesn't bother knocking (not like jihoon does anyway) and just opens the door.

"good morning, park jihoon!" she screams, waking him up immediately.

he groans, "yeah, yeah, i'll be down in a minute."

miran shrugs. even though she knows jihoon is staying in bed for another ten minutes, she leaves him alone anyway and goes back to the kitchen. her mom tells her their uniforms are already ironed and that they're in the living room. her mom leaves and her dad follows. she eats her food in silence before jihoon joins her.

"you ready?" jihoon asks. "you got the big speech today."

oh right. she's going to give a speech in the assembly for the new students. the freshmen and sophomores don't participate in the evaluation program but the school board decided to try it out and see how it goes. she'll have to explain that and other things students need to know.

"i still don't understand why yedam can't do it. he's the president, not me. i'm just his secretary."

"he said he wanted you to do it."

"why?"

"he didn't say."

"whatever," miran stands up and puts her plate in the sink. "i just hope i won't humiliate myself."

jihoon puts his plate in the sink too, "wanna leave early to get coffee? it might calm your nerves."

"i already had some but sure," she shrugs. "also, mom ironed our uniforms already."

jihoon nods and leaves the kitchen. miran goes into the living room, grabbing her uniform. when she goes in her room, she sees junkyu leaving his. she grabs her phone and there's a text from junkyu. sent a minute ago.
