Chapter 5 (1/1)

“So did you fall off the chair because of your clumsiness?” JoongKi joked while he sat down with two hot beverages in his hands. He handed one to Roo and Roo took it, not before muttering a soft Thank you.“If you haven’t realised yet, I am a basketball player”“Yeah, I haven’t realise you were a klutz” Roo shot him a look, asking him to shut up. “Okay, enough of all these” He changed into a serious expression upon looking at the look at Roo. “So what really happened?”“I fell? During the competition?”“You fell? During the competition?” He mimicked her.“Yeah”“Then care to explain how you fall that had you crush your bone?”“Right, I forget the big bro is a doctor.”“Yes, so tell me the truth before I tell mum”“Well, everyone gets injured while playing sports. It’s just that the opposite team happened to be rougher than expected. I was knocked off in mid-air, and I fell from mid-air.” She chose her words carefully.“How bad was it?”“I have to give up my passion” She didn’t dare look at her brother, she didn’t want to reveal too much emotion, and just focused on meddling with her fingers, biting her lips. “It was Comminuted Fracture…”“Dongsaeng ah…”“Don’t ever dare pity me” She said firmly, even when she was not confident enough to look at her brother. He knew how much she hates pity.“We can always find another passion.”“Everyone is telling me that, but it’s not that easy. It’s not searching for a clothes to wear, we don’t just find it overnight.”“Of course it’s not easy, but you always have me and mum around.”“I actually have something in mind.” She stealthily looked at JoongKi.“And that is?”“I am going to stay in TongYeong, I am enrolling into Richmond.” She brought up with determination in her eyes.“wait-what?! You mean Richmond High school in our neighbourhood?”“Yeah, is there a problem?”“Do you even know that school? Do you know how bad their reputation is?”“Well big bro, do you trust me?” He nodded, “then it’s settled. I am going to Richmond, I’m not going to get bad influenced”Roo had gotten an earful from her mom after her brother told their mom about her wanting to move to Richmond. However, she had swum her way through on getting her mom to agree by guilt tripping her, and a few acting here and there.
