A/N:
Episode 2: Impressive
Almost done. This is one task that actually challenged me a little. I'm writing practice test questions for Ha Ni. The challenge was in covering all the topics that we need to cover. After working with her for a day or two, I've realized something. Oh Ha Ni is a very hard worker when she wants to be. If she really wants something, she will do her best to get it. It's almost like she-
"Hyung," comes a voice. It's Eun Jo with his school book. "How do I solve this?" he asks me. I can't stop now. I'm almost done with these questions for Oh Ha Ni.
"Hey, Eun Jo," I say while still typing. "I've got to do this. Ask Mom." He slowly closes his book and huffs away. Before he leaves the room, though, I hear his feet stop.
"Hey, Oh Ha Ni," he calls. I actually forgot she was in here to be honest. She's been so quiet. "You stupid, idiot, dumb, booger face!" She doesn't reply. "I can't even study because of you! My Hyung can't sleep either." What's he talking about? I'm sleeping. Maybe not as much as I used to, but I'm sleeping. "What's up with you?" he continues. "Go back to your own house!"
Ha Ni is still silent, which makes me curious. I turn around, expecting to see clenched fists and rolling eyes. She throws me off when I see her working as diligintly as ever. She's mouthing words to herself as she studies and isn't even fazed by Eun Jo's antics. Then it hits me. She didn't even hear him. Ha Ni, one of the worst students in the class, is studying so hard that she didn't just hear my little brother insult her. Multiple times. I glance toward my brother and back to Oh Ha Ni. I'm definitely impressed.
I can feel a smile spread on my face as I turn around. This girl surprises me every day. I print out the questions I came up with now that I'm finally done. I think the sound of the printer breaks Ha Ni's trance, because she decides to reenter the world. She turns around.
"Oh, Eun Jo, you're here!" Ha Ni is genuinely surprised to see him.
"Forget it!" he yells as he storms out, slamming the door behind him. I wonder what she's thinking about that. I grab the papers I printed and throw them at her.
"Here," I say, turning back to the computer.
"What is it?"
"Read that for today and go to bed early since tomorrow's the exam," I tell her. She of all people will need her sleep. Living with a person, you get to know everything about them. One thing I've learned about Ha Ni is this: when she doesn't get her sleep, she is mor annoying and bubbly than usual. I don't know how it happens. Maybe sleep for her is some sort of mood regulator that makes her normal. Other people get pissed, she gets giddy.
"What is it?" she asks again.
"I came up with potential exam questions," I say. I can hear her start flipping through the pages.
"Wow!" she sighs. She sounds like a little kid on Christmas morning. "When did you make all this?" she asks me. I'm totally touched." I can hear the smile in her voice as she says the last part.
"Hey," I say. "I told you to hurry and look through it. Stop talking nonsense!" She really shouldn't be doing that. She shouldn't be filling in feelings where there are none. This is a result of blackmail. It's nothing more than that and she needs to understand. I can't be filling her head with hope when there's no reason to.
Her brows knit together as she huffs, "I got it." As I turn around back to the computer, I hear a little muttering under her breath. "Why get mad?" is what I think I hear, but I decide not to pay attention to it. I decide not to tell her I'm not mad. I just can't be promising her things that shouldn't happen. I mean won't. It won't happen.
A/N: Hey everyone! I just want to take a minute to thank everyone who's been reviewing and reading. Seeing your reviews just makes my day, and I am so happy knowing people on here actually appreciate the work I put into these. I'm sorry it took me a few more days to update. I had a lot of homework. Math analysis and AP psychology. Yeah, tell me about it. Anyway, thank you sooo much and I hope you guys are doing well! Oh, and don't forget to make my day and review! :D
