Nearly two grueling hours later, I carefully shut the bedroom door closed. I had finally hunted the two brats down, given them their baths, in which they in turn gave me one by pulling me into the tub with them. I had brushed their teeth while their mouths were wide open in happiness when I was making shadow puppets with my toes against the lamplight, AND I managed to put them in their jammies while they were busy coloring my face with magic marker.
"Life sucks." I muttered grumpily under my breath as I returned to the living room. “Yep, definitely not having kids. I’ll just get a dog. Five of them.”
I found my sister still on the couch, but this time she was already nodding off to sleep. I scowled at her, looking like some stupid Sleeping Beauty as she softly slept. I was thinking of putting magic marker on her face just to make me feel better when the front door slammed open.
I looked up to see Micky heaving like a bull on a rampage.
"Eunhye." he gasped out, still gulping in air like a starved goldfish.
This kid is a slow one, despite his high marks at school. Whenever anything has to do with my sister, he goes dumber than a doorknob. He never thinks of using his car to reach my sister whenever it's time to make up and get back together again.
Nope, not Park Chanwoo. He'll run all the way from his house, a mighty long 15 blocks away, and be huffing and puffing to the point of an asthma attack by the time he comes here.
And of course Eunhye can't help but view it as a mushy, romantic thing, what with the way he ran all the way from his house just to see her again.
I looked strangely at him as he glanced around the place before settling his eyes on my sister.
"Eunhye." he called out again, running towards her.
Eunhye woke up from her sleep and stood up just in time for him to envelope her in his arms.
"I missed you so much." Micky murmured. "I'm so sorry."
"I'm so sorry too." Eunhye murmured back.
Bleh. If it's the only thing that's cliche in my life, it would be my sister and her relationship with her boyfriend. Those two are a couple of regular romance novel characters, what with the way they're always fighting and getting back together and are considered the perfect couple in not only our high school but in the entire freaking universe.
It's like living with a real-life romance movie with those two.
Ugh. Shoot me now.
I made a gagging sound as I passed by the mushy couple and settled myself comfortably in front of the television. I busily set up little Minji's brand new console while I heard the couple argue.
"I can't believe you, Park Chanwoo. Why did it take so long to make up, this time? You don't really love me, do you?" she accused him, tearing up as she pulled out of his arms and looking into the distance.
In the corner of my eye, I could see her turn away from him and cross her arms like some stupid soap opera show.
"Well of course I love you! With every part of my heart! Why do you think I ran all the way here for? For the exercise?" he sarcastically replied, taking a step towards her.
Oh gosh, talk about corny!
I made another gagging sound as I kept my eye on the screen and happily began to move the cute little Mario through Bowser's castle.
"I should be asking you if you still love me." Micky continued, his words sounding like a direct rip off from a drama.
"And what is that supposed to mean?" Eunhye demanded, facing him this time with her eyes blazing angrily at him.
"I mean about you going out with some guy from another school today." he calmly replied, despite the obvious annoyance and jealousy in that deep voice of his.
"He was just giving me a ride!" She yelled. "Plus, you said so yourself, we were on a break from each other. You didn't specify anywhere that we couldn't see anyone else."
Micky pulled at his hair. "I don't need to specify that we couldn't see anyone else because it should have been a given!" he yelled back.
Uh oh. This is getting messy.
I briefly wondered if I should crawl under a table and wait out the whole battle going on between the two.
"You shouldn't assume things, Micky." she scoffed.
Micky's shoulders sagged in defeat. "When you love someone, your heart should never look to anyone else but them, no matter what happens. And I love you so much it hurts." he mumbled.
I let out a snort.
Oh my gosh, how sappy can you get? I don't think I could handle a guy saying that to me. I'd end up barfing all over him from the corniness of it all.
On cue, Eunhye ran towards him and put her arms around him. "I'm so sorry. I should never have done that. Forgive me?" she asked, looking up into his eyes.
Micky lovingly smiled back. "Always." he replied, kissing her on the nose.
I could hear the cutesy couple murmuring sweet nothings and whatever mushy crap couples do into each other's ears. Then there was that awkward silence, and I knew what they were doing without turning around.
"Get a room, you perverts. I'm still here, you know." I called out, just barely holding back my gagging.
