A few months later and Byul was now 1.
Beomgyu still didn't have a job but it's okay.
"Beomgyu."
Beomgyu looked at Yeonjun. "Huh?"
"I need your help."
"With what?" Beomgyu stood up.
"Byul is hungry but she won't eat anything."
Beomgyu furrowed his brows. "What are you trying to give her?"
"Like..cereal, fruit, yogurt, y'know, the stuff she normally eats."
Beomgyu tilted his head and stood up. "Why isn't she eating?"
"I don't know.."
...
"Byul, what's wrong?"
Byul screamed then started to cry.
Beomgyu frowned. He hated to see her so stressed.
"What's wrong, Byul? Oppa will help you.." Beomgyu said.
When Byul didn't stop crying Beomgyu sighed, covering her mouth so his parents don't come out of the room.
"M-Maybe she's not hungry..?" Yeonjun asked.
"Probably not if she's crying like this.." Beomgyu picked her up. "What's wrong, Byul?"
Yeonjun looked down at the plate of fruit and ate a strawberry.
Byul looked at Yeonjun and she calmed down a little.
"What did you do?" Beomgyu asked.
"Nothing..?"
Beomgyu tilted his head and put Byul back in her high chair.
"Try one." Yeonjun gave Beomgyu a strawberry.
Byul stopped crying, staring at Beomgyu.
"What'd i do?" Beomgyu looked at Yeonjun.
"I.." Yeonjun looked at the plate. "Eat another strawberry."
Beomgyu ate another strawberry and Byul continued to stare at him.
"Maybe she just wanted you to eat." Yeonjun said. "Have you eaten today?"
Beomgyu shook his head.
"Oh, maybe she knew.."
"Maybe.."
...
"You can do it, Byul.." Beomgyu said when Byul stood up.
"Beomgyu."
Beomgyu looked up. "Yeah?"
"Go to the store." His dad said.
"For what?"
"We need more food." He said, throwing the wallet at Beomgyu before leaving.
"Oh." Beomgyu sighed and stood up. "Come on, Byul, we have to get changed."
Byul whined loudly.
"It's okay." Beomgyu kissed her head.
...
"Mom.."
"What?"
"T-There's something wrong with Byul.." Beomgyu said.
"What?" His mom looked at him.
"She's not breathing well.."
"Well go get her ready for the hospital..!"
"O-Okay.."
...
"How could you let her get sick?!"
"I-I'm sorry.." Beomgyu frowned. "I didn't know.."
"You're so stupid, Beomgyu..!!"
Beomgyu sniffled and looked at Byul that was sleeping.
He allowed Byul to get sick.
It was all his fault.
...
"It's okay, Byul.." Beomgyu said, picking her up.
Byul continued to cry loudly.
"Oppas so sorry.." Beomgyu whispered.
He hated to see her so hurt.
...
"It's okay, Byul.." Beomgyu kissed her forehead. "Oppas just going to the bathroom, mom is going to be here, okay?"
Byul stared at him.
Beomgyu patted her stomach and quickly left the room.
...
"Byul-"
Byul screamed and Beomgyu jumped.
"Shh.." Beomgyu sat down. "You're going wake everyone up.."
Byul continued to cry and Beomgyu tried to figure out what to do to help her.
"Are you too hot? Oppa will take off your clothes.." Beomgyu said, laying her down.
He unzipped her pajamas and took them off and when he did that Byul immediately calmed down.
Beomgyu sighed and picked her up. "You're going to have to sweat it off tomorrow, okay?" He said, laying her down in her crib.
They had moved Byuls crib to Beomgyus room.
"Please sleep good tonight, Byul, oppa loves you.." Beomgyu said, patting her head.
He truly did love his sister.
