You sit in silence, absently staring at the TV and watching San Ji indulge in the trash channels like an obsessed cartoon maniac.

He just won't stop.

"He is suffering from bipolar disorder. He will also try to keep himself busy and occupied by something engaging to look at because he is trying his best to avoid hallucinating. He insists he sees the ghost of your deceased mother in corners of the rooms when he's sleeping and he hasn't slept well for a long time. That is why if you find him falling asleep during the day in company of someone, don't disturb him. He is subjected to insomnia, bipolar disorder and shows intense signs of eating disorders as well. He has taken the worse hit from that trauma. Make sure you keep healthy snacks and take him out on a few playful walks so that he gets to be a regular child again."

He had given you a very sorry look as he had left and patted your back lightly before leaving. You saw him out and turned to your brother. His eyes remained fixed on the TV.

That explained a lot of his erratic behaviour. The obsession with watching TV, eating all day, sleeping at odd times and getting cranky and crying every few minutes and then laughing over nothing for a while.

You clutch your head.

What the hell were you even doing when your brother spent 11 months like this at that bitch's house!?

You were actually leading a pretty peaceful life. You thought you had it hard, but your brother had it worse!

He would never come to the phone when you'd call and Aunt Ara would simply bang the receiver. So you never got to know how he's doing.

Just once, she simply sent you a postcard of his picnic with his special-school classmates to Busan Aquarium. You and your brother loved the beaches and the sea and the waters and the fishes.

But, he just sat next to a huge tank and showed no signs of smiles.

You were worried for a while, but you didn't think he would have been under so many agonizing ordeals.

What I learn from this experience is that I'll not allow you to reply to business emails, Y/N. 🙄🤭

What kind of response is that even?

Come to office tomorrow, Suzy is taking a leave. You have to coordinate with the rest, for the day.

Let me know if you have any queries.
When can I expect an update? Get in touch.

Regards,
Jhope.

You sigh. Having to go to work tomorrow would be the last thing you gotta do but it happened to be something you had to worry about the most. Now was the time for you to make money desperately.

Your chats with your boss had become very informal and you were not complaining. You genuinely liked Jhope for how laid back he really was.

All the worrying about your Mom's murder and the thirst to know everything behind it had to wait. You couldn't let it hamper your progress in achieving better mental health or losing focus from your studies.

You decide to create a drawer in your mind where you put everything related to your Mom and dad in and push it in and lock it securely.
