It's been a few months since I've returned to living with my brother, Saeyoung; and his new wife, MC. They're happy together, which is a good thing. Honestly, I had feelings for her for some time, but I've gotten over them just as quickly as they came. I'd never want to get between her and my brother.
I'm now a member of the RFA. Everyone there is nice to me. Zen and Yoosung were fighting with Jumin for some time, but they got over that as well, though Zen and Jumin still bicker from time to time.
I haven't seen the savior since Mint Eye was shut down. I don't want to either. I'm happy living like this.
I'm happy, but….
Whenever I see Saeyoung and his wife living such a cheerful life together….
Who wouldn't get lonely?
"Thank you for patronage." The clerk said as I walked out the convenience store, a bag of PhD Pepper in hand. Saeyoung had run out but needed to continue with work, so I got it for him. It's the least I could do after everything he's been through.
"Maybe I'll stop by the park today…" I mumbled as I strode through the crowded streets.
My brother has plenty of cars but I prefer walking. I can see the sky better that way. Now and then I'll even visit the park just to watch the sky.
When I get to the park, no one else is around. Can't blame them with how late it's getting.
Just a few minutes is fine. I told myself as I searched for my favorite spot. It was shaded by a large oak tree and people rarely passed by.
When I got there though, someone had beaten me to it.
A young girl rested on her side, using a brown messenger bag as a pillow. For whatever the reason, her mouth was covered with a mask. Probably for allergies.
I sighed, ready to leave until I heard a quiet whisper. "St-Stop…"
I turned around. The girl's brows were furrowed and her hands shook. "No… Don't go…"
She was so quiet, one would have to strain to hear her. Before I could even comprehend myself, I had knelt beside her and placed a hand on her head, murmuring "It's alright."
Her body relaxed. Her eyes blinked open and I jerked my hand back. It was too late for escape. The girl saw me clear as day.
She bolted upright, red cheeks contrasting with her white mask. "I-I-I'm s-sorry! I-I must've f-fallen asleep! I d-didn't do anything weird, did I?"
I stared at her blankly, deciding what would be the best response. "You said something about having an intergalactic battle with a ninja cat." I answered, thinking of my idiot brother.
Her face reddened even more as her eyes widened. "I-I DID?! R-REALLY?!"
Looking at her, I couldn't help but stifle a laugh. Her cheeks puffed out like a squirrel. "That's not funny!" She said though she laughed as well.
"It's fine." I answered seriously this time. "I just got here, so if you did say something, I wouldn't know."
She sighed. "That's a relief. I was told once that I talk in my sleep so I worry every time I close my eyes for a nap. But it's really relaxing when you're in the park on such a nice day."
I blinked and pointed up. "It's a bit late for something like a nap though, isn't it?"
She blinked and followed my finger. She just now noticed how dark it was getting. "H-How long was I asleep?! Ahh, and I've got work tomorrow!"
She sprung to her feet and bowed a quick apology and thank you to me before storming off. I looked down to her bag, the one she left on the ground beside me. I sighed. "Now what?"
