My Fear

I thought my brother wouldn't come back. He came back suddenly. I was reluctant to bring Axel and my brother together, but in front of me right now, they seemed to be discussing Very Serious things. Axel is indeed quite skilled at playing his role in front of my parents, but I doubt he will do the same in front of my brother.

My brother can read a person's character, and it makes my fear even worse. I sat next to my father while occasionally looking at The backyard of the house. Because it was, only separated by a glass door, I could see The Two of them Very Clearly.

"What's wrong? You look very upset. Are you worried about your brother?" asked my father while looking at me. "Hmm– a little," I answered with a small smile. "Don't worry. I'm sure your brother will agree with me, and besides, he seems like a good man," said my father. Hearing my father give positive feedback made me feel a little relieved.

Time keeps running. I don't know what they were talking about. that took them so long to be out there. I don't know how many cigarette butts Aunt Eha will clean up because I can see they are endlessly burning their cigarettes one by one. I also just found out that my brother has now started smoking. Even though he used to be very anti-smoking, it seems like his life abroad is not easy.

My father said goodbye first to go back to his room because he had something to do. I am still waiting until my brother and Axel finish talking. How could I leave it like that, even though I wanted to do it? My mother had gone to her room. Not long Afterward, I saw the two of them come back inside. My brother's face looked very sour. He even turned his face away from me and just passed me by. while Axel approached me.

We started looking at each other awkwardly. Then I tried to thank his for being willing to come as promised. Yes– even though it's late.

"Thank you for coming," I said awkwardly. "No problem." He said. At that time, I didn't know what I wanted to talk to him about anymore. Then, I asked again what should I do after this. Before I could ask, he got a call on his cell phone.

"Yes, I'll be out in a minute," said Axel to someone on his cell phone. I just looked at him. "Okay, I've kept my promise, then I'll give you more news. See you later," said Axel without further ado. I was stunned beyond belief as I watched Axel leave. His behavior was truly arrogant. I, who had wanted to thank him sincerely, became a little ilfeel with him. How come? He looked like a great master who had just ordered his men.

" What? See you? Wait, let me know. Who is he to order me like that?" I grumbled in annoyance. I didn't even see him off at that time because, I was so annoyed with him. Then I thought again about my sister. "What's with the look on the judge's face? Has something happened? Should I go to his room now and ask?" I said to myself.

After thinking about it many times, it seems like now is not the right time to talk to my sister, especially since she seemed very disappointed earlier. I think it's best not to bother him. I went back to the room to rest.

The next day, just the three of us had breakfast this morning. There was only me, my father, and my mother. Then I asked my mother where my brother had gone. My mother answered that my brother had been exercising since early morning. I just nodded without asking any more questions. I ate a piece of bread with my favorite cheese spread, and then I went to work. While on the road leading out of the housing complex, I saw my brother jogging in the opposite direction. I tried to stop and open my car window and greet him.

"Hi, morning. "I said while smiling broadly. My brother just nodded and then left without saying a word to me. It makes me even more confused. What happened last night? Did Axel say something wrong to my brother? Has my brother now known about our plans? Questions like that kept ringing in my head.

My concentration just disappeared. I couldn't focus on doing anything today. I always think about things that my older brother did to me before. I keep digging into my mind. Maybe I've missed a thought. "Should I just ask Axel? "I said to myself.

Then I took my cell phone out of my work pants pocket. I tried to ask Axel via text message. I repeatedly typed and deleted what I wrote. I was afraid Axel would misunderstand or even have a big head because I contacted him first. In The End, I gave up my intention to ask Axel because I thought it would be better to ask my brother to talk first.

After work, when I got home, I immediately looked for my brother's whereabouts, but my mother said my brother was out meeting his friends. After I changed my clothes, I returned to my brother's room, but he hadn't Come Back yet. Finally, I waited for him while lying down on his bed. Because I was tired of looking at my cell phone, I fell asleep without realizing it.

Hakim had just returned home and found his younger sister asleep in his bed. Hakim walked slowly, and put his things away slowly so as not to wake his sister. After Hakim finished cleaning and came out of the toilet, it turned out that his sister was sitting on his bed looking at him in annoyance. It was as if hakim didn't care and just walked away.

"Are you going to continue like this until you Come Back later?" I said irritably. "Maybe." My brother answered flatly. I started to get out of bed and approached my brother was sitting in a chair. I look at him with a sharp gaze, while my brother didn't budge and looked at me with the same gaze that made me try to avert My Gaze.

"Big brother should be The One asking, what's wrong with you? Why did you do it? Don't you think long and hard?" Said Hakim while looking at Summer. I was silent as if my mouth was being taped. "Does my brother know the truth?" I said to myself.
