16 Ordinary

When he first arrived here, he didn't treat the Hongs as his family. He didn't treat anyone in this world as someone familiar to him. All except for Wei. If not for him being in the same university as Wei once, he might've treated Wei the same as the others.

The time when he first opened his eyes, everything was unfamiliar, all except for Wei. Even the one closest to him, Meng, didn't feel as familiar as Wei did. The years Wei tormented him, although he didn't quite feel tormented. He was so.ehow familiar of Wei's personality.

The problem was, he never considered everyone as his family. Although they were so kind towards him, although they were so caring and did not hesitate to take care of him over and over again, he was still...He didn't know what he was feeling anymore. His emotions ravaged his heart as he became confused of himself.

"Jun, what's wrong?" Yi asked her son who was in a dazed state.

Just like now, Yi was extremely caring towards him and Wei always took care of him, although he didn't quite get what it was to be an older brother. He didn't quite get an impression of his almost always working father, but everyone took care of him just like family.

He had always thought that normal was the only way. His family taught him to think that everything he received, everything that happened in his life should and would always be normal. Days passed and he thought of the same thing. Though, it seemed that his family didn't predict his life wasn't as normal as they predicted it would be.

He wasn't the side character who watched the main character thrive anymore. He was the one person who would support Wei. Like those things his friends loved. The main character always seemed like Wei.

[Do not feel disheartened Jun. As long as you can gather enough influence for me, it is enough. You don't need to worry yourself over some things like this.]

'I can't,' Jun thought, 'I just keep on remembering my father. Day by day, he reminded me that everything I did was normal. That I have to be normal and not more outstanding or worse than the other person. He thought that he would always be a passerby, someone who everyone would quickly forget the moment they see him.

That was why Wei made such an impression on him. Wei continued tormenting him, bullying him for whatever reason. However, that showed just how Wei remembered him. Although he was always rather transparent and nobody even paid close attention to him. Even the teacher had to double check his name on the class student list before he was sure there was indeed someone named Mie Jun in his class.

However, Wei remembered him naturally. His group of friends forgot about him but the person didn't.

[You know, you are a pretty good life changer to everyone around you. That is why I choose you.]

From the start, from when he was thrown across the hall due to a sudden rage moment Wei had, Meng had laid his eyes on him. Although he expected himself to die peacefully with no one caring about him, someone still did.

Something that Jun certainly didn't expect.

[Do you believe that you are just ordinary? If you are the same like any other human on earth, why would I choose you? You're worth more than what you deem yourself to be.]

After saying goodbyes with the photography crew, they went home. On the way home, he could feel himself becoming even more unsure of himself. Somehow, Wei took notice of it and patted his head softly, as if coaxing a kitten.

"You did amazing," Wei encouraged.

It was definitely unlike him, however seeing his younger brother break free from the daze that seemed to be plaguing Jun, Wei felt happy. He muttered some encouragement words to Jun before the other fell asleep.

[You see. You have something you're worth for anyways.]
