Sung Ki tried everything to make his sister happy. And apparently, Yong In seems to smile a lot during their time together.
"Oh, sis! That's the shop we once went, right? I even have the picture of us."
"Picture? Where did you get it?" Sung Ki looked at another place and walked away like nothing happened.
"Hey! Come back here!" Sung Ki started running away and Yong In chased him. Finally, Yong In managed to catch her naughty brother.
"You're messing with me? Did you forget who I am? School sprinter, okay ?" Yong In bragged proudly. Sung Ki smiled while looking at her. She noticed it.
"You... Why are you smiling like that?"
"Nothing, just happy to see you slowly coming back to your old self. Let's go." Sung Ki took her hand into his hand and they both continue walking around.
"Sung Ki, thank you. Thank you for being there for me when I'm at my lowest time. Thank you for making me happy. Thank you for everything." Sung Ki stopped and faced her without letting go of her hand.
"Sis, actually... I" His phone rang. He cursed in his mind and took out his phone from his pocket. Yong In peeped at it.
"It's okay. I think she needs you."
"Wait for me." Yong In nodded. Sung Ki went to a farther place and picked up the call.
On the phone call:
Ji Mi: Hey, where are you? Let's go on a date!
Sung Ki: I can't today.
Ji Mi: What is it this time? Last time, I understand it but today...
Sung Ki: I really can't. Sister Yong In is waiting for me. Talk to you later.
Ji Mi: Hey...
Sung Ki hung up the call immediately. He turned back and jumped out of shock at the sight of Yong In behind him.
"You argued with her?"
"No, we're doing okay. Let's go. Where do you want to go next?"
"I'm a little tired. Let's just call it a day." Yong In walked away to the car.
"Oh, okay." He also walked to the car following his sister.
~~~~~~
"What did she do every day? She's always busy. Aish, she always made me worry." Sung Ki mumbled alone. Well, for the past days, her sister always busy with things he didn't even know what it is. She left early in the morning and came back at the middle night.
" She's ignoring me again. Just like last time. " Sung Ki looked down sadly.
"Hey! Why did you look so troubled? Anything bothering you?" Ha Ru slapped his shoulder. He looked at his best friend with an indifferent look.
"Okay then, I'll leave you at it. Continue." Ha Ru walked away to other friends.
~~~~~~
He tossed around. Left. Right. Still, he can't sleep at all. Then, he heard a sound of footstep and door being opened then closed from beside his room.
"She's back!" He sat down immediately and climbed out of bed to Yong In's room. He knocked on it carefully but no response.
"Sis?" He whispered. No response too.
"I'm entering." He whispered and turned the doorknob into the room. He chuckled at the sight of his sister who seems like too tired. She didn't change her clothes and just lying on the bed without a blanket. He slowly approached her. He picked her up to adjust her position and tucked her into the blanket. He also caressed her hair lovingly. Then, he left and closed the door. When he was about to get into his room back, a cough made him jump.
"What are you doing in her room just now?" He turned to his dad.
"I just tucked her into the bed. She seems too tired and threw herself on the bed straight away. I didn't do anything to her, I swear." He raised up his hand. Mr. Lee laughed.
"I didn't say anything. I know everything." Mr. Lee winked. Sung Ki looked at his dad confused.
"Alright. Go back to sleep now. Good night." Mr. Lee walked past his son and patted his shoulder then continue walking to his room back. Sung Ki shrugged his curiosity off and went into his room.
~~~~~~
"Congratulations on your graduation!"
"Wow, your result is amazing!"
"Hey, what do you plan to do after this?"
Others started talking with their friends on many things while Yong In alienated herself. She lost in a thought for a while and have her eyes closed. Then, she went to the teacher's room.
"Teacher..."
"Ah, you're here? Sit down here." The teacher pulled a chair from other desk and she sat on it.
"Firstly, I want to congratulate you on your amazing results. You really met our expectation. Next, about the thing you asked me..." Yong In waited her teacher to finish her words nervously.
"You got it!"
"Really?"
"Of course! You're our best student so you're more than deserve of it. Do your best and take care of yourself. Anything just give me a call."
"Alright, thank you again teacher." She bowed and left.
~~~~~~
Yong In had a dinner with Sung Ki and his family to celebrate her graduation.
"Congratulations, Yong In. You're really my daughter." Sung Ki pretended to cough.
"Am I not your son?"
"Yeah, yeah. You're both my son and daughter. Come, let's eat or the food will get cold." They both laughed. Mrs. Lee's face showed that she's not happy at all. Yong In noticed it but ignored her because it's already become usual for her. Mr. Lee elbowed his wife under the table. Mrs. Lee looked at him frustrated then left.
" Hehe, ignore her. Continue. Eat more."
~~~~~~
Sung Ki got up and sat down on his bed for a while. He ruffled his head and went to freshen himself. Then, he left the room walking downstairs to the kitchen.
"Good morning, mom, dad. Where's sis?" He sat on the chair and started to put the food in his plate.
"Don't know. She didn't come out at all." Sung Ki felt weird.
"Let me take a look at her." Mr. Lee nodded. Sung Ki walked upstairs to his sister's room and knocked on it. After a while of knocking, he decided to get in but to his shock is his sister wasn't there! He looked at the bathroom, no one was in. Then, he saw a paper on the table. He took it and read. He run out of the room to his dad. He showed the paper to his dad and his dad was also shocked to see it.
