Awkward Happiness

“I wasn’t.”

Lu Suo refused to admit it.

“You were.”

“I’m drawing.”

Lu Suo showed his painting to Song Yujin. There was a big house and a bright garden. Two people stood in front of the door. One was completed while the other was only half-done.

“What is this?”

Song Yujin pointed at the half-done blob.

“It’s you.”

Song Yujin thought to himself, ‘Me? Did he draw with his eyes closed?’

Anyway, Song Yujin asked, “What is this painting for? Our art teacher didn’t give any assignments.”

“It’s a birthday present for mommy. A family portrait.”

Lu Suo looked very arrogant. It was as if he wanted to be praised.

Song Yujin could not just destroy Lu Suo’s self-confidence, so he stayed quiet.

“How about you? What are you going to give? Let me see.”

Lu Suo appeared to be quite curious.

“I’m not telling you.”

After saying that, Song Yujin continued to read his book.

“Why?”

Lu Suo was clearly unhappy.

“This isn’t fair.”

Song Yujin remained silent. Lu Suo reached out and poke him.

“I’ll definitely keep it a secret, so tell me!”

When Song Yujin still did not answer, Lu Suo poked him repeatedly.

All the distractions made Song Yujin lose focus. He turned around and looked at Lu Suo. The latter blinked his big eyes eagerly.

‘He’s like a fat kitten…’

Song Yujin felt helpless. In the end, he indulged Lu Suo.

“A greeting card.”

“What kind of greeting card? Did you buy it?”

“I’m making it myself.”

“Let me see.”

Lu Suo used his chubby hands to search through Song Yujin’s desk.

“It’s not done yet.”

Song Yujin sighed at the sight of his stupid brother.

“Don’t forget to show me once it’s done.”

“…”

“Okay?”

Lu Suo shook Song Yujin’s arm.

Song Yujin replied indifferently, “Fine.”

Lu Suo was finally satisfied.

“I’ll show you mine once it’s done too.”

“You don’t have to do that.”

Song Yujin lowered his head and resumed reading.

After they had showered, Song Yujin ruthlessly chased Lu Suo out of his room.

Lu Suo pouted.

“I want to sleep together. We haven’t done that in three days! Aren’t you lonely?”

“No.”

“How can you be so cruel? I’m your dearest little brother!”

Lu Suo really did not want to sleep alone.

“Wait for a few days.”

Song Yujin remained calm. He did not care about Lu Suo’s long-winded complaint.

“Why?”

Lu Suo was puzzled.

“I’m going to work on the greeting card.”

Lu Suo laughed.

“That’s not a problem. I’ll just work on my painting. I won’t disturb you. We can still sleep together.”

“No.”

Song Yujin had already made up his mind.

“Why? If you don’t explain everything, I won’t leave!”

Song Yujin just repeated, “No.”

To him, preparing a gift was something that should be done in private. He did not want anyone to be around him. Moreover, he was embarrassed to show his anticipation.

“I’ll sleep with you in a few days. Be good.”

Song Yujin patted Lu Suo’s head.
