228 Talking to Junior Brother

junior brother gave me a weird look as i entered the infirmary, a thousand thoughts entering my mind yet none moving past my lips.

junior brother was laying down on his infirmary bed, pillow behind his back. a quick scan of the room revealed that he was still the only patient in the room.

seriously. they had to make this room smaller. it must be scary at night.

i took a deep breath before i continued further, stumbling my way past the beds.

how the h*ll can i bring the poison up? do i just come out and say it? something like, 'who do you think poisoned you, junior brother'?

yeah... didn't he already suspect me of being a demon cultivator?

the f*ck! he'll kill me then!

i don't want to die yet!

okay... let's be smart about this. yeah. it's always better to greet first, questions later. after i had this thought, i stood before his bed, the sunlight from the window above him blinding me.

"hey, junior brother," i smiled nervously, my eyes rolling around their sockets. should i really just come out and say it?

"what are you doing, senior brother?" his voice was filled with confusion and helplessness.

oh yeah! didn't he say that i had a... hole? in my brain? the f*ck was that about!

wait!

that's perfect!

"junior brother." i turned to look at him, my face devoid of all expression. my eyes drilled holes into his, and i waited a few seconds for him to understand the seriousness of what i was going to say.

i cleared my throat and began, "i do have a hole in my brain."

junior brother looked at me, his face frozen for a few seconds. we stared at each other for a few seconds... or well, he stared at me. i was trying my hardest to not squint because of the sun.

it was seriously bright.

when i finally paid attention, the silence in the room was deafening until junior brother slightly raised himself up and out of his bed, placing his hand on my forehead. i just blinked for a few seconds until junior brother took his hand off of my forehead and glanced at it. "you don't have a fever." he sounded utterly confused.

what the f*ck!

i am not crazy!

"junior brother!" i swatted his hand away and didn't even bother to hide my glare. this was such a foolproof plan. why the f*ck was he not getting it! "i really do have a hole in my brain. it's because of-"

<system has decided to activate '5 feet'! congrats *throws confetti* host has transferred songs from original soundtrack to '5 feet'. system has put on, 'can you feel the love tonight'. enjoy!>

god f*cking d*mmit, system!

how the h*ll am i supposed to explain this to him!?

and i still need to explain the whole 'hole in the brain' thing! you aren't helping me!

< ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ >

i'm really starting to think that you're an actual sentient being.

< ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ >

yeah.

not even going to bother.
