After I did my skincare I saw my brother Junghwan occupying my whole bed. I slowly walked towards him with a sly smile.

I laid on my bed and hugged Junghwan making him wide awake. "Aish! Noona!" He scooted a bit to make some space for me which made me laugh.

"So tell me, why are you here?" Junghwan turned around making me face his back.

"No reason. I was just worried about you."

"Did they fight again?"

Junghwan turned around to face me and I saw him pouting.

"It's been three days and they haven't talked to each other since their last fight. The pressure in that house is too much for me."

I smiled at Junghwan as I combed his hair with my fingers. I can notice that his eyes is starting to water. He closed his eyes and a tear escaped.

"You're still young, Junghwan. You don't have to act like an adult and hide your frustrations."

"It's hard, noona. I wish you could be there but I know that you can't..." I scooted closer to him and I hugged him tight.

"Just visit me, Junghwan. Then I'll stay with you until you're fine again!" I started to hear soft sobs which made my eyes water.

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry Junghwan..." I can feel that he's shaking his head as he wrapped his arms towards me.

"It's not your fault, noona. I understand why you had to leave that house. I'm not mad at you."

I felt guilty about leaving him in that hell but it's the only choice I had at that time.

"If you're happy, I'm happy." Junghwan  out of the hug and he smiled at me. He's such a sweet brother. I'm very thankful to have an understanding brother.

"Sleep, Junghwan. You have classes tomorrow, right?" Junghwan nodded at me and he closed his eyes.

After a while, I can hear his soft snores and decided to get up. I fixed the blanket and covered Junghwan so he won't get cold.

I went to the kitchen to grab a glass of water but suddenly, I felt a hand grab mine and I was about to scream but my mouth got covered.

"Areum, it's me!"
