• Ko Mun-yeong's POV

My eyes almost rolled out of their sockets as I witness Sang-tae hit his brother's head...over and over.

"Pabo! Pabo! Pabo! NO, oh? You said you don't miss Ko Mun-yeong, oh?"

"Hyung! Stop! Please! Aya! Hyunggg!!"

The hits landed on his head, arms, back. Poor Gang-tae. I wonder why Sang-tae's so mad...unless--

"Ya, Ko Mun-yeong! W-Wherever you are, l-listen to what I'll s-say!"

Gang-tae stands up quickly and covers his older brother's mouth. Sang-tae refuses to be stopped and attempts to bite Gang-tae's hand.

I am not sure if I suddenly became an audience of Wrestlemania.

Gang-tae is doing everything he can to stop Sang-tae from spilling anything. Hmmmm. Should I meddle?

Yes.

No...no...no.

Yes?

No..na-uh.

I don't want to fan the fire that is Gang-tae's anger towards me. It would be best to keep my distance.

He was able to drag his older brother to their room and I'm left with a cold dinner staring back at me.

And I am human again.

I missed this.

I tap my white Schutz mules on the floor as I smoothen out my comfy white Isabel Marant Étoile dress.

Before these brothers arrived in this house, I know exactly what to do. I strut, I flaunt, I write.

Sometimes I would get a fancy cigarette stick from my Chloé bag and pretend to light it up with an empty lighter. I would pretend to get mad and throw the lighter away.

Then I'd pick it up and think of new things to do.

That's how lonely life was before they came into my life.

But why I do I feel loneliner now?

They're here...he's here...but he's not.

I'm back, but I'm not.

Why did I have to gather all my strength to give in to what that moment called for?

I shouldn't have kissed him.

Then I wouldn't feel so lonely.

Then I wouldn't feel death in my heart.

I look at the clock.

12:05 AM.

Is he awake?

Is he thinking about me?

Will he go down?

Hold my hand perhaps and say 'It's okay, my Mun-yeong. I forgive you.'?

My eyes turn to the stairs. Should I go up, knock on their door, and talk to him?

Will I be dismissed just like earlier? Is it even worth trying?

And who's Joo Ri? Why did he bring her over? Did he think I'll be gone for good? That I'm already dead?

12:15 AM.

The thought of losing a friend...a special friend...makes my heart ache so much.

The stress that I feel from such thought travels down to my stomach and I feel like it's being punched lightly over and over.
