Summary
The only reason Felix starts going to these stupid baseball games is because her parents asked her to.
“Be a good sister,” her father said, immediately after moving her into her dorm. He had a stern look on his face, one that might cut off Felix’s allowance if she didn’t comply. Fortunately for her, their mother will never allow it. “Jisung will be happy to know you showed up.”
Felix fought rolling her eyes, her arms crossed over her chest, and instead she plastered on her brightest smile. Everything is always about Jisung, Jisung, Jisung.

Summary
Once upon a time, he and Felix shared everything. They shared blankets, naps, toys, hugs. Jisung remembers giving Felix some of his strawberries during their lunch breaks, knowing they were her favorite fruit during second grade. In middle school, Felix took on the bullies that picked on Jisung. She’d yell at them to leave him alone, and they’d make fun of him even more for hiding behind his sister. He begged her to stop, but she said someone had to stand up to them if he wouldn’t do it himself.
Even if they’ve moved out from their parents, they’ll come home and have to share the same room, the same toilet, the same shower. This holiday, Felix started taking Jisung’s shampoo and body wash. She smells like him every time she’s steps out of the shower, and he wonders why she didn’t bother picking up her own if she forgot hers at her dorm.
They’ll always share the same dark hair that circles the drain and sheds onto their rugs; the same brown eyes from the same parents. And now, they share the same friend circles, even Hyunjin in a way—Felix’s roommate, Jisung’s girlfriend. Maybe they could never get away from each other if they tried any harder.
