IN WHICH THERE
IS A NEW BEGINNING
OF SORTS.

✦┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈✧

IT'S a sunny day despite the gloomy weather surrounding taehyun. he frowns, eyebrows knitted together as he stares at his sister and best friend throwing their luggage inside the trunk of yeonjun's ugly car. scowling, taehyun huffs crossing his arms over his chest, kicking at the ground.

taehyun hears jieun let out a small breath as she approaches him. he deadpans as he stares at her.

"i think that's everything," she tells him, plopping down by him. jieun stares at taehyun's face with narrowed eyes. "you look ugly right now."

the younger boy smacks her shoulder. "shut up... you must be talking about yourself, though."

"no! i meant that you look angry. you always look super ugly when you're annoyed or angry."

taehyun bites the inside of his cheek, turning to face his sister afterwards. "you should um, stay instead of moving into the dorms."

jieun snorts, her hand flying up to her mouth as she laughs. "oh," she says, teasing taehyun as she ruffles his hair. "is a certain someone sad that their big sister is leaving?"

clicking his tongue, taehyun swats jieun's hand away. "no! it's just... you don't have to worry about paying for living expenses if you stay..."

laughing once more, jieun sighs afterwards, patting taehyun's head. he lets her this time.

"hyun," she says, "i've saved up money to cover for the tuition fee and the living expenses. i just need to worry about food, and that'll be a bit rough because, well, you know..." the kang siblings both look up at yeonjun, watching as he scrolls through whatever app he has open on his phone.

taehyun chuckles. "he eats like there's no tomorrow."

"right!" jieun says, bouncing a bit in her seat. "it's a miracle he doesn't gain weight from always eating out..."

"hey!" yeonjun says, glaring at the pair of siblings. "i heard that, ji!"

jieun smiles, apologizing to the approaching boy. yeonjun stands in front of jieun and taehyun as they and his parents walk out from the apartment complex. "you ready to go?" he asks, handing his phone to her. "it's getting late and we need to check-in by three."

"it's literally one right now... and the campus is only thirty to forty minutes away yeonjun, you guys still have time," taehyun grumbles, leaning away from jieun after having a glance at his phone.

"taehyun!" mrs kang slaps his shoulder, clicking her tongue. "don't say that! your sister and yeonjun have to go now so they can check in and unpack!"

jumping up, jieun claps and twirls around to face their parents. she and yeonjun hug their parents, bidding them goodbye. yeonjun waves at taehyun before making his way to his car, getting in. taehyun avoids looking at jieun as kneels down in front of him.

"hey, look at me."

taehyun shakes his.

"taehyun, look at me."

begrudgingly, he turns to face his sister. jieun opens her arms to which he reluctantly falls into.

"i'll visit you often, okay?" she says.

taehyun pulls away, staring at her. "you better or else i'm having you give me your paychecks."

"taehyun!" their mom says, slapping his shoulder again.

yeonjun calls out for jieun. she gets up again, waving at her family and yeonjun's family, walking away and getting into the car. the car pulls out from the parking lot, driving away and eventually becoming a small dot in taehyun's eyes. the parents go back inside, while he stays sitting down on the front steps of the apartments.

"i can't believe i'm going to miss that stupid sister of mine..."

-

jieun sneezes as she and yeonjun head into an office at their university, getting their dorm number and schedule. yeonjun flicks her forehead as the lady at the front desk gets their information.

"what did i tell you?" he says, tapping his foot on the ground as they wait. "this is what happens when you don't listen to me and forget to bring jackets: you get sick."

jieun rolls her eyes. "shut up. i feel fine. i just sneezed because my nose itches."

"oh really?"

"yes, really," she says, grabbing the paper the lady hands to them. they thank her, making their way back to yeonjun's car.

"what building did you get?" jieun asks, skimming through her schedule. "i got 900."

"oh!" says yeonjun, pulling the car out from the office and driving towards the dormitories. "i got 900, too."

jieun blinks. "well then, what room did you get then?"

"4-a."

gasping, jieun excitedly jumps off the car as the boy parks it. "i got 4-a, too!" she says as they head towards the trunk, opening it and taking their boxes, heading into the dorms.

yeonjun whines. "you're joking, right?" he says, trudging up the stairs with jieun by his side. "you're going to be nagging me everyday-"

"oh shut up." jieun deadpans, watching as yeonjun unlocked their dorm room. they go inside, immediately claiming a bed. jumping on it, jieun stares at the roof, a sigh following afterwards. "we still have more boxes left to get, don't we?"

"yeah."

sighing once more, jieun rolls off the bed. "let's get to work then."

UNFORTUNATELY,
I LOVE YOU.
