Sunny couldn’t stop herself from laughing at Emilio’s reaction to her having a boyfriend. “Were you under a rock for the past few years?” She asked with a cheeky smile. He was still being very secretive about his whereabouts so for all she knew, he absolutely could have been under a rock. “I’ve been dating Francisco Leone for almost two years now and yeah, I think I love him.” She answered, her smile turning dreamy. She pulled up a photo of the two of them together to show him, just in case he didn’t believe her. Maybe it was naive of her to hold onto a fading relationship like that but this wasn’t the time or place to air that out. “There’s a lot we need to catch up on.” She agreed with him, biting her tongue to avoid adding “…like where the hell were you”, knowing he would just dodge the question again. It made her wonder what else he was oblivious to. Did he know she took a break from music? Or that she was now running her own company?
She raised an eyebrow skeptically when he tried to pass his coughing fit off as allergies. “Yeah, of course. I think I have some.” She responded to his request for ginger tea. Sunny was loyal to her iced lattes and iced americanos but she kept a stash of teas for the off-chance that she felt like one or needed to relieve a sore throat. It was mostly green and black teas but she had a selection of herbal teas, most of which had been gifted to her by the mother of her former groupmate, Ha-Eun, as part of care packages. “Do you take anything in your tea? Milk, sugar, honey?” She asked, standing up while trying to recall what Ha-Eun’s mother had said the benefits of ginger tea were.
Sunny blinked back tears of her own when she noticed Emilio begin to tear up. She picked up a tissue box off her bedside table, taking one out to dab at her eyes before offering the box to her brother. She smiled softly when he told her that the song was beautiful. “Thank you. I think it’s one of the best songs that I’ve written.” She closed the laptop before looking at her brother, trying to make eye contact with him. “I’m still pissed that you didn’t tell us before showing up at thanksgiving but, for what it’s worth, I’m happy you’re back. I missed you.” She hadn’t wanted to concede this soon but even if she didn’t want to fully forgive him yet, she couldn’t stay angry with him, no matter how much she wanted to keep him guessing.
