"Wieso liebst du den Herbst so sehr?", frage ich ihn und schaue ihm währenddessen tief in die kastanienbraunen Augen. "Ich weiß es nicht so recht.", antwortet er ehrlich und nimmt seinen Blick von mir. "Vielleicht weil nichts schöner stirbt, als der Herbst." _____ All rights reserved. Copyright © wangzico 2015

My name is Byun Baekhyun. My stepbrother's name is Park Chanyeol. I'm the captain of my school's varsity soccer team and I have good grades, more or less. My stepbrother has a "below average" IQ of 65. He's been home-schooled for the majority of his life. Yes, he's mentally retarded. Intellectually disabled. Cognitively handicapped. Whatever you call it. He doesn't do much with his life but water the plants at our family's florist shop and try to solve second grade math problems. He still counts on his fingers. Life's been different, to say the least, ever since he moved in with us. My name is Byun Baekhyun and I want my stupid stepbrother to disappear.
