Honey Dearest.

‘’Fuck!’’ The sound of Jiyong throwing the last house phone across the room caused Seunghyun to jump and Get up form his bed. Jiyong always said bad words. Always. And he often got angry, So Seunghyun was used to him yelling a whole lot. The loud crashing sound just scared him is all.

‘’Ji?’’ He called from the doorway of his room. He knew he was supposed to be in bed, But he knew that there was something wrong with Jiyong by the way his hair was messy and the bags under his eyes. Jiyong didn’t get the rest he needed all the time. Seunghyun knew that.
Jiyong whirled around the face his brother, he had been texting someone on his phone, his eyes were red and puffy.

‘’Seunghyun.’’ The tone of his voiced relieved Seunghyun, usually when he got out of bed, Jiyong got mad at him and made him go back, and he would wear an angry face all night. But he looked a little sad and Seunghyun stepped out of the room further.

‘’Hey, I didn’t mean to wake you up, I was just a little upset is all. That’s all buddy.’’

Seunghyun hated when Jiyong spoke to him like this. Sure, he wasn’t very smart, but he wasn’t a baby. He didn’t like to be talked to like a baby. But he stayed quiet, he didn’t want to have that conversation tonight. Jiyong walked over and grabbed Seunghyun by the wrist and pulled him over to the couch.

‘’Is something going to happen to us?’’

Jiyong was quiet for the longest time. Thinking about how to tell Seunghyun. He was going to semi-lie. He hated lying to Seunghyun, but he knew that telling him the truth would just complicate things because he would have to explain them, and he would probably would get upset and attempt to overthink the situation.So he took a long sigh and pat Seunghyun’s hair with a smile.

‘’No.’’ he said so confidently he had convinced even himself. Seunghyun sleepily smiled back and his eyes followed Jiyong as he stood up, ‘’I just know that I might have to put in a few hours at work, and Maybe call Sandy for more help. You like Sandy, right?’’ The mention of his brother’s pretty girlfriend caused Seunghyun to smile widely.

‘’She’ll come see me more?’’

he questioned with hope in his brown eyes, Causing Jiyong to smile, too. ‘’Yes, she might come see you more.’ He asked and then held his hand out.

‘’Alright, bro.’’ Said Jiyong tiredly. ‘’Let’s get you back to bed, you have to go with me tomorrow.’’

Seunghyun felt his eyebrow raise in confusion. He really, hated being confused. ‘’I thoughtI was going to Auntie Hyesuk’s?’’ he said with a pout. Seunghyun usually got up early to go to his Aunt’s while Jiyong worked, why did he have to go to work with Jiyong tomorrow. Jiyong never took him to work. But Jiyong stayed quiet as he led Seunghyun back to his bed and made sure he was in it.

‘’I thought you were Going, too. But you’re going with me tomorrow, Okay. Now please. Go to sleep.’’

Seunghyun was frowning on the inside. But turned over and nodded, even closing his eyes to make Seunghyun happy. But he still felt very confused.

Notes

I know, I didn’t start this story off with a preview, there’s a reason for that. I based Seunghyun’s mannerisms off of The book Flowers for Algernon.
