15 Staring Wont Be Enough (1/2)

It took a while for Mu Yi to leave my bathroom. I finished drying my hair and found an outfit that might fit him. It was left behind by my second older brother who visited me the other day. He stopped by because he had dirtied his clothes and I happened to be the closest person nearby. My second brother has this habit of bringing spare clothes with him everywhere he goes. So he just needed a place to shower and change into his new clothes.

Although, I knew it was a lie that he just so happened to be in the neighborhood. He stopped by just for me because he missed me. That's because I didn't return home right away after being away for seven years. I was seventeen years old when I left my family behind and began my own pathway. I finally returned when I turned twenty-four, how quick the time had passed already.

I also did make sure to laundry his not even dirty clothes, so it was clean for him next time. Instead, it looks like I would be giving it away.

'Ding'

I grabbed my smartphone off the coffee table in the living room. It was from my best friend who decided to let me know he was still alive after ignoring my calls and text all day. Maybe I should change his contact name under 'Bestfriend' to 'Traitor.'

Bestfriend: [I'm sorry! Don't ignore me. I was busy all day…]

Me: [You do realize I know what you do all day, right?]

Bestfriend: [I swear, I was busy!!! I finally finished the ”job” and will be returning sooner than the set date.]

Me: [Really!?]

My best friend return date was almost a month from now, but to be returning in a few days is exciting. I'm surprised he was able to finish his job that fast. It's about to be my part soon to finish the rest.

Me: [I just thought you should know. Mu Yi was ”chuckling” at me today.]

I could tell my best friend was hesitating to reply back. His reply was not back to back like a minute ago.

Bestfriend: [OH MY POOR BABY! I pray for a fast and easy death for you.]
