Chapter Seven: Seokjin's Conundrum
Seokjin is walking home holding the flower, his house is just right around the block. He has some roller-skates but he never brings it to school. He had nowhere to keep it. Of course, he have a locker at school but it won't fit the roller-skates in it, it is full with books and essentials for school.
He got home and he saw Yeonjun doing homework. Yeonjun looks up to greet his hyung but he sees what his hyung is holding.
"Hyung, you always brought that flower home. You have a bouquet of it in your room," Yeonjun says, instead of greeting. "And you wasted your money buying those ear-pods, just to get those flowers."
"How did you know about the flower and about the ear-pods?" Seokjin asks, looking at him. "I told you to mind your own business, not to snoop around."
"I haven't been snooping around, hyung," Yeonjun says.
"Then, how do you know about this?" Seokjin holds the flower right in front of Yeonjun's face.
"You've been acting weird, hyung. I have to know what's up with you, it's my job being your brother," Yeonjun answers.
"You were snooping," Seokjin says, Yeonjun opens his mouth to protest but got interrupted, "You were never my brother, you are just adopted." he heads to his room.
Tears flow from Yeonjun's eyes. That's not his brother, he didn't even know who that guy is, he wants his brother back. Seokjin heads into his room, closes the door and puts the flower in the flower vase, where he keeps the rest.
Moments past, Seokjin and Yeonjun haven't talk yet. Until, dinner time, Seokjin cooks for them, he is the one who does cooking in their household, even though Yeonjun knows how to cook.
No one uttered a word, only you hear is the clashing sounds of the utensils on the plates. After they ate, Seokjin always goes out for a night walk to the lake. Yeonjun finishes washing the dishes and goes to his room.
Being a curious cat, he wants to know why the flowers are important to his older brother. He knew that his brother always took 1 hour walking, he looks at his wall clock and it says 7:10pm, he have 20 minutes. He quickly heads to the older's room, Seokjin never locks his door, Seokjin always know that Yeonjun needs something from his room.
Yeonjun grabs the flowers from the flower vase, he heads quickly to the kitchen to find a lighter or a match.
"Bingo," he says to himself when he found a matchbox.
Yeonjun quickly heads out to the backyard, he lays the flowers down, ignites the matchstick and throw it to the flowers and watching it burn.
Seokjin just got home, he heads to his room and notices that the Smeraldo flowers are missing and he smells smoke.
"Yeonjun."
He heads to the backyard and saw Yeonjun sitting while watching something burn, he went to Yeonjun and notices that his flowers are burning. Some are turning into ashes, while some are burning.
"Why did you burn my flowers, Yeonjun?"
Yeonjun jumps and turns around quickly, eyes widens, "H-Hyung."
Seokjin tackles Yeonjun on the ground and starts choking him.
"Why did you burn my flowers, they are so important!" Seokjin yells.
Yeonjun grabs Seokjin's wrist in order to break free from the hold. "H-Hyung, y-you're c-choking m-me. Let go, hyung!"
"Those flowers are one of my most valuable things and you, you burned them!!" Seokjin yells, tightening the grip on Yeonjun neck.
Yeonjun tears are flowing, he wants to call for help but he can't, the grip of his brother's hand on his neck. It's painful. Yeonjun starts losing his breath.
"Seokjin!"
"M-M-Mom," Yeonjun says.
Seokjin's father separates them, their mother hugs Yeonjun while Seokjin was stopped by their father.
Yeonjun holds his neck, taking deep breaths to steady his breathing, tears are continuously rolling down his cheeks.
"You're in big trouble, Seokjin," their mother says.
