overthinking

Here we go again.

You stopped in your tracks and exhaled a deep breath. Miha stopped at the same time. She then whispered a quiet do you know him?

You gave a small nod and she sighed with you. Guess she knows how big of a trouble Minho is, too. Before anything, you turned back around and glared at Minho.

"I'm not in the mood to talk to you. So let's not waste both of our time dealing with each other for no valid reason. I'm tired."

"Of what? It's only been a few days and you're already tired? Gosh, don't be so boring."

"If you think I am boring, then fucking leave me alone. I can be boring and you can be respectful by leaving me alone."

A small smirk appeared on the boy's face and he was about to open his mouth again when he realized the girl standing beside you.

You could see his body tensing up. What was that for?

You turned to Miha and to your surprise, her expression was different. The one that you've never seen before. It was as if they had something against each other.

The atmosphere was getting thick so you cleared your throat and took Miha's hand in yours and looked back at Minho.

"Let's not waste any more time, shall we?"

With that, you walked away with Miha and she was quiet. The whole time. Like something was holding her from speaking up.

You didn't want to make the situation worse by saying anything else, although your brain was noisy with questions about their relationship.

Even so, you held it in since you knew your place to respect others' privacy. So you just drag her away to her next class, which she told you before History.

Before you realized it, you were already walking home and your thoughts were going all over the place.

What relationship do they have? or what did they had?

It's killing you with each passing second, but you can't do anything other than making your own assumptions. Because there ain't no way you're gonna straight up ask Miha about it, when you know damn well you don't have the nerves to do that. 

You exhaled a deep breath before opening the door to your house, shortly closing it after.

It's quiet. Where's Hyunjin? His shoes are outside. Is he taking a bath? But there's no sound of water running.

You tossed your backpack somewhere on the couch before going up to check up on your brother. His door was closed. Ah, he's inside?

You knocked on the door gently and after waiting for 3 seconds, you opened the door slowly and your worries came to rest after seeing Hyunjin deeply in his sleep.

A smile made its way to your face, seeing his baby face. You then closed the door again, more gentle this time.

He's been sleeping a lot lately. Did uni really drain him that much?

Are you worried?

He suddenly spoke up, waking you up from your daydream. In a dark dream. How ironic.

"Of what?"

I wouldn't know. But it's all written on your face. You're really bad at hiding your expressions, don't you know that?

He said, followed by a slight chuckle.

That was weird. It's like he's a whole different person.

"Why do you sound.. different? It's not like you to be so friendly. Actually, a lot of things are weird lately. It's driving me crazy. Who knows what else I'll face after this?"

He turned around again like he did a few days ago. With his face blurred, yet again.

I do, actually, sound different. It's scaring me out too. And.. I'm not so sure of what to say about those weird things you're facing since I know nothing.

but can I tell you something?

Your eyes looked up to his blurred face, actually curious as to what he has to say.

"Well yeah, what is it?"

I think.. I know who you are.

what? 

who I am? wait.. he's a real person?

we've……. met?

"what… do you mean by that?" you slightly laughed, hiding the intense confusions and assumptions running in your mind.

are you seriously playing dumb right now? you know exactly what I mean.

well, fuck.

"alright, but I don't know exactly what you're referring to. so you're saying.. we've met?"

now he's the one laughing. 

yeah, aren't you a little too dumb to not think that?

"gosh, don't be so harsh. I do admit I'm dumb but that doesn't gives you the right to judge me."

I'm not judging you-

"yeah right you aren't. I'll believe you."

you hear him sigh. is he bipolar? but he's only been acting weird lately..

before anything, everything turned dark again and when you opened your eyes, you found yourself on the couch of your living room. and it's already dark outside.

you tried recalling back when you dozed off, and an image of you and Hyunjin eating dinner together in the living room hits you.

"you sure you don't want to go sleep upstairs? you seem tired. sleep on the bed."

"it's fine, I'm too tired to lift myself off the couch. I'll go up when I'll get the motivation to."

"goshh, do you think you're still 8 and I'll carry you to your bed upstairs ??"

"I don't think I asked you to tho, don't make too much assumptions that probably aren't even true."

there was a silence and you internally facepalmed yourself as it was you that should be saying that to yourself, not Hyunjin who was just being considerate of you sleeping on the living room's couch. 

"GOSHHH, I'm so hurt right now. Fine, you do you, I'll go sleep in that comfy bedroom of mine, and you can sleep on that 'comfy' couch." Hyunjin said as he made his way to the stairs.

you didn't care as you were tired from all the overthinking so you just closed your eyes and fell asleep.

now that you think about it, maybe it's right that you just apologize. it isn't that big of an issue but you still feel bad. who wouldn't?

but before you even made it to the stairs, you heard something weird and, terrifying.
