the reality

ch.4

"Youngjoo~ah, tell us more about yourself. If you want.."

Well I guess I was wrong..the others actually enjoyed having Youngjoo around that one day so they invited him into our club room and boom! Our club started to become more fun and interesting with Youngjoo's commentary. And of course there have been more rumors going around wondering why in the world we're hanging out with Youngjoo but we're all passed that state where nothing people say will get to us.

"There's really nothing interesting about me.." Youngjoo replied as he helped put away some of the applications that we got. "Oh! I almost forgot to make things fun we should do a secret Santa!" DoYoon said as he started writing our names down in pieces of paper and folding them up. One by one we each grabbed a piece of paper and opened in secret making sure we didn't see anyone else's.

"Alright since we only got two more days of school let's make this fun and have even more fun on Christmas!" SoHee exclaimed before packing her stuff since we all have to attend another study session due to the winter exam. "The fact that they gave us an exam right after break is unfair." Solbin said while picking up her notebooks.

"Let's not stay up too late on Christmas. We have another study session after Christmas remember." Minseok said which caused us to sigh then the bell rang. "Head home safely guys!" We all exchanged goodbyes and started heading home. "Oh? You're not going home?" I asked Youngjoo since he was about to walk in the other direction of his house and our usual walk home.

"I..I have work today..I forgot to mention that." He said then a black car stopped in front of us. "I'll drive you. Cmon let's go." DoYoon said coming from behind us. I took at Youngjoo then at DoYoon. I don't know why but I feel like Youngjoo isn't totally comfortable the way he is with the others with DoYoon. "Okay." He said then the both of them got into the car. I waved goodbye to them and watched as the car drove off.

Once I got home I was welcomed by quiet atmosphere besides the faint sound of BeomCheol's video games playing from his room. Taking advantage of the emptiness I decided to study outside; so I placed my bag down on the chair and quickly headed upstairs to grab my laptop and headphones and also to change into comfy clothes.

Sitting down at the table I plugged my headphones into my computer and started to study. After a few good hours of studying and making some study guides for the group I clicked the share button and one by one everyone went online and started to add their own information. "Why don't you share that with me?" I turned around and saw BeomCheol standing behind me. "What's the point? You're gonna sleep during the exam anyways." I said and went back to the study guide.

"And you're acting as if Solbin is going to ace the test. That girl has no-"

"At least she will do better than you'll ever will on a exam." I spat back then our attention was adverted to the front door since the sound of it closing caused the both of us to look. "Is there a moment when you two aren't fighting?" Mom asked while placing her bag on the couch. "Until he moves out there will never be peace in this house." I said and started packing up my things.

"Well you're gonna have to learn how to have peace since you two will be the only ones here." Dad said which made me turn away from closing my laptop. "What do you mean?" BeomCheol asked.

"We're gonna be gone until January." Uncle Jisoo said which made me nearly drop my laptop on the floor. "You're what?" The both of us said. "We're tired of hearing you two bickering 24/7 and we need a break." Dad said which made me scoffed in disbelief. "Might as well extend that trip because there is no way that-" I was cut off by mom slamming her hand on the table.

"Is there nothing you can do for us?! Huh! We've done everything for you! We worked our butts off just for you two to attend a prestigious school and have a roof over your head! Don't you have some sort of remorse for us? Is one favor so hard for you guys to do?!" She said and I couldn't help but be shocked by her tone since this is the first time she's ever yelled at me.
