Chapter 7
Journal Of Ardency"Hyung, why did you covered your lunchbox in gift paper like this?"
"Because it's it's.. it's green. You said you hate green before..."
"Ehh but you didn't have to do this~! hahaha"
"Ng? I'm being weird again..."
"Hyung, life isn't about pleasing others. If you want to have green lunchbox then have it"
"Yeah but... don't we share space together? that's why I... I try to... not that I want to please others, since you always come in lunch... I mean, we always..."
"Hyung... it's alright... open your eyes.."
"What?"
"You never realize that? You always close your eyes if you think hard about your answer. Then you started to blurt out"
"A-am I?"
"Yes you are! Hahaha... don't avert your eyes. Look at me, hyung... I don't bite"

"Hyung... hyung... Byunghun-ah... wake up wake up"
I opened my eyes slowly. What were those lips... ah, those peaky eyes. Daniel... I just dreamt about you...
"Hyung... I cooked you a breakfast...", he said, still shaking my body. Why so tired... I tried to sit up and fully open my eyes. I looked to the window and realize something.
"Is it raining outside?", I asked.
"Yeah, since early morning. Yah, hyung, why are you sleeping so carelessly like this?", Daniel lift up the blanket that almost fell completely to the floor and wrapped it around my body.
"What did you cook?", I raised my head to the kitchen. I had my bed in my living room since I turned my bed room into a work room. Mainly to stored my DVD collection and books, though. I still write from my bed outside.
"I cooked a veggie pizza today", said Niel.
"Are you sure it's healthy?", I asked.
"Of course. I used flax seed for its base. Wait here...", Niel walked to the kitchen and excitedly shove a chunk of pizza into my mouth.
"W-wait", I protested, but he kept pushed the pizza inside.
"How is it?", he chuckled, looked very pleased about my suffering.
"Um... it's bit...", I chewed it carefully.
"Not bad", I smiled.
"Yeah? it's my first try. I just looked at its recipe last night", said Niel as he put another bit to his own mouth.
"You googled about healthy foods now", I chuckled.
"Of course... it's kind of a new adventure for me", he said, finished the whole slice himself.
"Nielie, thank you for accompanying me this whole week", I said.
"Hehe, I don't have much to do anyway. It kept raining all day", said Niel, snuggled himself beside me.
"Hyung, are you feeling better now?", asked Niel innocently.
"Yeah, I guess. I'm not fainting", I smiled.
"Humm... it must be hard for you before... going to school. Why didn't you tell any of your friend? or me? or Soojoo... or anyone in movie club about your condition?", asked Niel.
"My condition wasn't this severe before... and I don't like to expose my condition. I hate to look weak in front of people", I said.
"Hahaha... of course. Our distant Byunghun-hyung. Some girls talked about you, you know, they said you have this cool and mysterious aura... like the ones you usually read in manhwa... bad boy who had dark past...", Niel chuckled at his own words.
"What's that... really? ah, I think I'm cool though?", I said.
"Aish. Hyung... no. You're not cool. At all", said Niel in annoyance.
"How about cute? am I cute?", I asked.
"Hell no. You're useless, really...", Niel closed his mouth and took a glance on me.
"Yah! you said that about your hyung?!", I slapped his thigh.
"No no no, hyung...", he turned his body aside as I still playfully slapped him.
"Tsk. Is it still about the milk?", my eyes wondered to the kitchen. Niel laughed hard.
"Oh God. That milk, I still don't get it. How on earth you end up throwing out our milk instead of its bottle?. I mean, it's ing liquid, it required time to be drained out completely, yet you still pouring it out into our garbage can!. Dear God, our garbage can though..."
"I just saw a detergent commercial okay, like, this woman pouring them down to the washing machine...", I tried to defend myself.
"Yeah, but, did our garbage can look like a washing machine to you?", Niel kept attacking me.
"No... I-I think I was just so dizzy that time, I saw the bottle was so pretty! I want it for a decoration or something, then I saw that ad... then, at the same time I wanted to pour it into my glass-"
"That's your excuse? seriously hyung... hahaha", Niel laughed once again and rested his head on my shoulder.
"Don't you have rehearsal for your det
