"Mianhae. I was too tired from the long journey and to top it off, I cleaned my room. I was actually planning to come out after I have relaxed." I just don't want to see you, hyung. Mianhae. You have hurt me too much now.
"Appa is waiting for you. Are you sure you want to make him wait?"
"Fine. I'll be out in a few minutes. I just have to change my clothes."
"Aigoo. You don't have to be formal in front of appa!" Hyung gave me a playful puch on the arm. Before I could reply, he was literally dragging me towards the living room.
"Omma! Dongsaeng's here!" Hyung called.
"Ah! Shin! Sit down!" Appa smiled at me.
"Does it have to be this formal?" I joked.
" didn't come home for 4 years, and you want to sleep already?" Hyung smied.
I wasn't really in the mood to do anything - especially now that MiNam is not here and I just found out that my big brother had a child with my ex, MiKa. "Mianhae. I was too tired.' I tried to smile but it was definitely evident that I didn't want to talk to them.
"I won't take that as an excuse. Come on! Tell us stories about your life in Seoul." I could sense taht hyung was really in a good mood today.
"You know everything. The press is everywhere. Even fans stay outside our dorm just to see what's new with the band. some reporters are even digging up our personal lives." There was a slight sarcasm in my woice. I hope my parents did not sense it.
"Well, only you and MiNam knows who MiNyu really is. Why don't you give us a slight background about her?" Hyung suggested.
No. Not that. I felt a small sting in my heart. MiNam should've been here. I shouldn't have given her the chance to choose - but that wouldn't be me. I never wanted to force MiNam to like me back.
"Yah. Shin, what now?" Hyung was looking at me with an expecting gaze.
"U... uh... that...? I tried to find words. "W... what do you want to know?" Please don't ask anything, please don't! I pleaded in my thoughts. I feel that I could break down anytime now.
"So, how did you two meet?" Hyung smiled at me.
"Well..." I reaclled our made-up story. "It was when MiNam was introduced to the band." I remembered every detail.
"Yah! Go MiNam! What are you doing?" Taekyung shouted at MiNam who was clearly drunk. She was standing at the rooftop's edge. Before anybody say anything else, MiNam fell on TaeKyung and threw up on him. It was, of course, digusting but it had really amused me.
Jeremy took TaeKyung to the van while I was left to take care of MiNam. I picked her up gently, putting her arm around my shoulder and helped her get balance. MiNam's head hung slightly, exposing her neck. Her adam's apple was not evident, proving my theories of her, being a girl. Then as I tried to walk her, she spun around and had her head on my shoulder. It took me by surprise. I haven't embraced a girl for a very long time. Even if she was drunk and out of her consciousness, it was still a hug and she was still a girl.
"Yah, dongsaeng, you're blushing." Hyung mocked me.
"Hyung?" I heard a girl's voice. I spun around and saw my sister, InWoo. "When did you come home?" She looked like she had seen a ghost.
"Whoa, you're a woman now!" I embraced her. "Then... if MinWoo hyung and InWoo dongsaeng is here... then where's WooYoung?" I looked around for my youngest must be a teenager now... I wonder how he looks like, undergoing puberty.
"H... h... hyung?" I saw Young's eyes widen as he entered the living room.
"Yah. Is that the way you greet your hyung?" I smiled at him.
"Yobbo!" I heard a woman's voice call from outside. I noticed hyung stand up almost immediately and hurried to open the door. "Yah. What's with all the people in -" I saw MiKa aburptly stop as she spotted me. "s... s... Shin?" She stuttered.
