hueningkai threw the baseball onto the ceiling, creating a rhythm which bothered lea ever since dawn. lea knew something was up, but she knew hueningkai would be too stubborn to answer any of her answers. so, she was forced to withstand it while trying to finish all of her delayed projects.
around 3, the doorbell rang, and mom opens the door to let beomgyu and taehyun in. they knew what happened, and they've been sending missed calls to hueningkai all night long to no responses.
they entered the living room in which lea looked up from her laptop, letting her eyes be blinded from the light after staring at her laptop for hours and hours. she pushes her ombre locks behind her ear and glances at beomgyu and taehyun, who stood at the door, dressed in casual attire.
"oh, hi boys." she yawned.
"hi lea." they both synchronized.
"what do you need?" she says standing up.
"we came to check up on kai. he and yuna had a fight." beomgyu says.
"what? he's already dating her?"
"i don't think he would, but there has been some misunderstandings."
"no wonder. he's been throwing a ball at the ceiling for hours."
"i guess he's more upset than we thought.." taehyun mumbles.
"our poor maknae." beomgyu pouts.
"well, we know he won't listen to us, but i'm guessing he would to you. you're his bigger sister and a role model to him after all!" taehyun says.
"me?"
"yeah." they both chorused.
"boys, i barely passed my SATs. it's a miracle i got scholarship with this hell of a report card." lea stretched.
"can you try?" beomgyu asks.
"hmm.."
"please?" they both stared at her with puppy eyes, but lea wouldn't fall for them.
"yeah, no. the door is open for all of you."
"wait! if you don't help, he'll probably be more miserable then ever! think about it, who else can you boss around?" taehyun chirps.
"..."
fuck, he's right. that kid is smart. who else can i boss around to massage my feet?
lea pursed her lips, considering it. she's an older sister after all. their parents are nowhere good at talking to hueningkai about girls, and she was one herself, so why not?
"fine."
"thank you!" the 2 boys squeezed her into a suffocating hug. being that she was only 5"3, compared to them, she was extremely petite. once they were done, they released a squirming lea. she gaped for a breath, and cleared her throat.
"yeah yeah, now scram." she smirked devilishly, and taehyun and beomgyu immediately obeyed, leaving the living room in a milisecond.
lea saved every document and file, put her laptop on sleep and knocked on the door. likewise, he didn't response but lea entered anyway, without his approval.
"hey. whatcha doing?" lea sat on the foot of his bed.
"you remember yuna, right?"
suddenly he became so straightforward, letting a gasp come out of her mouth. "y-yeah! of course i do, silly, i don't forget that much."
"i messed up really bad.. i just don't know what i did to anger her so much." his voice began to shook, catching the ball he threw his anger at for many hours.
lea gulped, watching her younger brother getting up from his lying position, the tiny tears glinting from the sunlight through his windows. the last time she saw him cry was during the funeral, but she wasn't sure. but hueningkai didn't seem ashamed to cry, he needed to release all of the tension he held inside him for some time. she hated seeing people cry. she's never been good in comforting.
lea got up and sat next to hueningkai, as he sniffed through his sobs. she puts her arm around him, allowing his head to fall on her shoulder.
"i accused her of stealing the necklace i bought for wonyoung back then, but she got mad at me and we just fought.. i don't even know who to believe at this point!"
"i never trusted wonyoung. even when both of you were dating." lea said.
"but i trust her. she's not that bad of a person."
"do you trust yuna?"
"well.. honestly, no. remember that time she lied about being related to the soccer team i liked?"
"that's because she likes you. more than wonyoung, i admit. i like her more, she seems genuine and fun." lea says, referring to the time bona talked about yuna and her habits when hueningkai was around.
"she is. i can't believe is just believed wonyoung like that.. she deserves someone smart enough. aish, this is all my fault." hueningkai sighed
"hey." lea cupped his cheeks, forcing him to look at her. "you are a smartass, annoying, and handsome little brother. don't say that. you should take time to realise how lucky you are for a pretty and clever girl to like you."
"okay, okay. but what am i gonna do about it? she avoids me like the plague."
"what do you want to do?" lea releases him.
"make it up to her."
"and how?"
"haven't figured that part, yet. i feel inferior when she's around, actually. she's outstanding-"
"my god." lea rubs her temples. "you like her. stop hiding it."
"okay. you've figured that part out, pretty smart of you, noona." a tint of pink came to his cheeks.
"for god's sake, get up you asshole." lea says, yanking his arm with her strength. "what?! why? i was so comfortable in bed!"
"i need to teach you. the real and correct way how to get a girl." she devilishly smirks.
