Day 12

18/08/20XX

'After a nice 3 hours of flying, I land in Seoul, S. Korea and smell the fresh air...through my mouth mask of course. The fine dust is pretty strong for some reason today. August usually doesn't have this much but sometimes you never know when you will get hit smack on the face by the polluting air. It's a good thing I read the fine dust on my Daily Air Quality Report.

Anyway, I'm here with my luggage, my earphones, my clothes, and my-

"Wow! I haven't seen Korea in ages! Man, is it good to be back. So, are we going bro?"

-_- And my brother, Sujin. Guess this will be quite a surprise for my parents who should be back from their holiday...wait, that reminds me that they need to tell me about them being quiet about my brother. They should have at least warned me, you know, so I would know what I was dealing with if I ever met my brother.

"Yes Sujin, brother. Let's go."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We're currently behind the doors of the house that I live in with my parents.

I look at Sujin. He's completely melted away from all the hyperactivity he has received from being in another country.

"We should go in." I say, picking up my luggage bag.

"No. It's ok. I'll just admire the house from afar. I mean, c'mon, how can you be inside a house when you have all this greenery outside? I'll just make myself at home later."

"You came with me all the way from Japan and you won't even go inside the house?" I say, questioning myself why he's not following me.

"No. I will go in but later." Sujin looks away to all the trees surrounding the house.

I stare at him.

"Sujin?" I mutter.

"Hmm?" Sujin turns around to look at me.

"What are you afraid of?"
