Hajoon's p.o.v
*I am Hajoon Kim. My sister is Haneul.... or maybe you might know her as Hannah. Well she doesn't know that i know her true profession. She does work at a cafe as an undercover but she does it only in the morning. As for the evening, she's an undercover agent.
I know she has her own reason for not telling me because she's worried that i might not like it. Yes, i don't like it but it's her life. She can do anything she wants to with it. All i can do is support her as her family, comfort her and be by her side whenever she needs*
Night
*i was making dinner. I made Kimchi Fried Rice because i know Haneul noona likes it. She's a simple person. She doesn't like most of the things that most of the girls love. I mean, she likes them but not too much. Like make-up, accessories and fancy dresses. She says it's a waste of money. She says you don't need such things to make yourself look pretty. I agree with her but i also disagree because not everyone likes to wear these things to make them beautiful for someone else. Some wear these things for themselves to make themselves feel better. Everyone has their own ways to make themselves happy. I don't work currently because Haneul noona doesn't let me. She wants me to focus on my study. She gives me pocket money. I've been saving my money. So that i don't disturb her*
-
*I was done making the fried rice and got some to eat. I didn't prepare a plate for Haneul noona because i know she would be late. After i was done eating, i washed the plate and sat on the couch to wait for Haneul noona.*
* I heard the door closing and immediately got up. Haneul noona was being quiet. But she didn't know that i was behind her. She turned around and saw me. I was glaring at her. I asked her about her cafe's manager. She brushed it off by saying that she get's paid extra for her night shifts. I didn't press further. Instead, i asked her about food*
Hajoon: did you eat?
Haneul: (pouts) no.
Hajoon: ok then come with me.
*I wrapped my arm around her shoulder and we went to the kitchen. She sat on the dining table and i served the food to her. She ate while we talked about our past. How we used to play, have sleepovers. Everything felt peaceful. After she was done eating, i wen to my room to do my home work. I had to submit it tommorow. I'm the type of student who does everything at the finishing time. I was about to complete it when i heard a knock on the door*
Hajoon: come in.
*Haneul noona came in and sat beside me. She has the habit of coming in my room to have a little chit chat before sleeping. It's her way of checking up on me. She is not that straight forward. Sometimes, she struggles to show her real emotions because she's afraid of how others might think about her. I wanted to ask her if she's okay*
Hajoon: noona, you okay?
Haneul: yeah, why do you ask?
*I noticed the guilt on her face. This expression never leaves her face. She thinks she can hide it but no, she's wrong. I can notice it no matter how much she hides it. No matter how much she tries to hide her emotions, i can always see through her. I know her more then i know myself. But i didn't push further*
Hajoon: it's nothing. Forget it.
*to change the topic, i asked her about my shirt. She playfully avoided my eyes while coughing*
Haneul: it's yours.
Hajoon: it's okay, you can have it.
*she smiled and jumped on me*
Haneul: thank you so much. You're the best.
*I tried to free myself as her grip was a bit too strong*
Hajoon: yes, i know i'm the best.
*then after a bit more chit chat, she asked me if i was gonna sleep or not. I told her i'll sleep after i'm done with my home work*
Hajoon: you should sleep.
Haneul: ok then, good night.
Hajoon: goodnight.
*she got our of the room closing the door behind her. I closed my laptop as i was done with my work. I sighed, thinking about the guilt she had when i asked her if she's all right or not.*
Hajoon: why are you keeping your problems to yourself? I'm old enough to understand them. I should be worried. I'm your brother. But i won't push further. I know you'll tell me once you feel like it.
*saying this to myself, i lay down and pull the blanket over myself. Staring at the ceiling, all kinds of thoughts filling my mind. "When will Haneul noona open up to me?, I will work hard. So, that i don't burden her. She always goes through tough times alone, never wants me to know about them thinking i'll be worried. This upsets me. I'm her brother. We are eachother's family. We should go through everything together." While thinking about everything, I drifted to sleep*
Next morning
*I woke up to my alarm going off. Being half asleep, I tapped on the screen to turn it off. I got up, stretching my arms and yawning. I went to do my morning routine. After i was ready, i took my bag and got out of my room. Before making my way to go downstairs, i knocked on Haneul noona's room to wake her up. I heard a small sleepy groan of hers, a sign that she's awake. I went downstairs and began to prepare our breakfast, a simple sunny side up with toasted bread and coffee, orange juice for Haneul noona because she doesn't like coffee. I was done with the food and Noona came downstairs, all cheerful, still a little bit drowsy because she's not a morning person*
Haneul: good morning!
Hajoon: morning! How was your sleep?
Haneul: it was fine, what about yours?
Hajoon: same. Come have your breakfast.
Haneul: hmm
*we ate breakfast in silence. Th silence was not awkward, it was comforting. After eating, we got out of our apartment, ready for the day. We got on our separate ways. I went to my university. As our apartment is closer to the university, it is easy for me to walk there. As for noona, she went to the opposite direction, both of her workplaces are in the same direction. As i was thinking abiut her, I said to myself*
Hajoon: I know you are stubborn. You will not tell me about it. But i'm also your brother, your Hajoon is not little anymore.
