That night Amy had not slept even though it was past eleven o'clock. The girl was smiling herself at the ceiling. Apparently Amy was remembering her conversation with Jimmi this afternoon.
For a long time he could not chat as leisurely and freely with his brother's best friend. Today the two of them spoke as casually and honestly as they used to, before Amy knew Jimmi's feelings. The girl could talk about anything just like when she talked to her brother.
"What do you want to be, Am?“
"You know later."
"Ck! What difference does it make if I know now and then?“
"Nothing." Amy raised her eyebrows. "But ... I'll let you know that you told me one thing."
"What?" Jimmi brings his face closer to Amy who is immediately pushed firmly with the girl's hand.
"What majors did you enter? At the University of Scholar many rare majors. M will obviously major in astronomy. You?“ amy asked after confirming the safe distance between Jimmi's face and hers.
"Technics ...."
"What's? I can't believe it. At least you should say medicine. Your mom wants you to be like your sister, right? Are you really going to get into tech? I mean, you should choose the one that smells of science ... right?“
"Biomedicine."
"Eh?“
"Everything if people haven't finished talking don't cut it!“ Jimmi flicked his finger at Amy's forehead.
"Awww!“ Amy stroked her forehead which felt hot. "Biomedical engineering?" Amy thought for a moment. "Sort of making robot arms or robot legs that can be installed on people with special needs?“
"That's one of the jobs of technobiomedicine people. Cool, right?“ Jimmi grinned while confirming the collar of his shirt.
"So cool!" lips Amy. "Don't you need to master a lot of various disciplines majors that?“
Jimmi nodded. "What do you want to be yourself? The nurse? Pity your patients even more sick treated this kind of person!“ Jimmi laughed with satisfaction.
"Ugh!“ Amy did not hesitate to hit Jimmi's back until the man complained of pain. "I'm going to criminology."
Jimmi looked at Amy. "It's suit you."
A reaction Amy never imagined. The girl thought Jimmi would laugh at her or taunt her or something. The guy only said one sentence with a nod that suddenly made Amy sure that she also had to be able to enter a special path.
"Wait on! You want to go to Scholar University too?“ Jimmi stopped stepping and looked at his best friend's sister in disbelief. He only realized that the department was only at his university and M would study later.
"Oh? You're sensitive to this kind of business, huh?“ Inexplicably Amy recalled the events at the Nuri High School performance building. Did this guy understand what Amy was saying at the time? Suddenly, his feelings became unsettled.
"What do you mean?“
Amy's a little flirting. "Yes .. l-I mean. you know little things like that."
"of course. I've read almost everything about Scholar University. But ... You have a backup plan, right?“
Amy silently looked at Jimmi with a slight frown on her forehead.
"You should have that. Just in case you don't get depressed."
"Do you and M have a backup plan?" ask Amy not to believe it. Ever since Jimmi and her brother attended High School, Amy has not been too concerned about the lessons they often discuss in M's room.
"of course. M almost used it. He passed the selection."
Amy pouts when she realizes that M's backup plan has something to do with her. To be exact, the plan centered on him. "M stupid!" muttered Amy.
"He loves you so much."
"I know that." Amy smiled at Jimmi. "He's the best brother I've got. So, I had to let it go so far as to achieve its goal."
Jimmi approached Amy then stroked her head a little rough. "Good girl's. During this semester you have to prove that you can live alone well on M. ... also me." Jimmi turned his face. "You said you didn't want to lose me, did you?"
A red hue suddenly enveloped Amy's cheeks. M's only brother accelerated his pace.
"Am ...." Jimmi is suddenly in front of Amy, making the girl brake her steps. "You'll never lose me if you don't take me out of your life."
The last sentence that Jimmi said was the success that made Amy unable to sleep. He kept saying those words in his head. Amy loved the sensation of a warm thump that burst into her heart as she recalled the sentence.
***********
Zack is thrilled that he has recruited Jason to join the basketball club. He was so sure that with Jason, the school basketball team would be stronger after the death of two mainstay players, Jimmi and M.
"Well, since you're on the basketball team now .. How about we play a game together?" Zack embraces Jason's shoulder that is higher than his.
"May," replied Jason. He could not have rejected Zack's call to recruit him.
Zack departs with Jason and Lewis to M's house. Basketball teams often play games together in a small blue-painted house. Although relatively small, the M house is the only safe house to play games with. In other homes, they will be scolded if too noisy by their parents.
"Your house is this way?" jason asked as they crossed the one and a half meter wide concrete bridge.
"Oh, we want to play at M's house. Not my house" replied Zack.
"M'S? Brother Marshall?" Jason widened his eyes.
"Yes, who else. You know his name?" lewis said astonished because the new child was burly knowing the real name M.
"Ah, I used to be in Amy's class."
"Oh, are you Amy's friend?" ask Lewis again.
Jason nodded. Her hair was black shining.
"Oh, you deserve it" murmured Zack. "You ever been to his house?“
"Hey .. We're coming!" exclaim Zack when entering the home page. He saw M and Jimmi leave the house.
"Why did you bring him?" jimmi's whisper approached Zack.
"Him? Oh ... It's a welcome because he joined the basketball team. Hehe," replied Zack.
"Next time play at my house only," said Jimmi. Then the guy came in and pulled Lewis to play.
"Ah, is he angry?“ zack told himself. Zack knows that the former basketball captain doesn't like Jason. He is also sensitive enough to understand that Jimmi is jealous of the guy who has the body of a marine.
"Hi, Jason. It's been a long time since you came here last time." M greeted Jason and smiled warmly.
"Hello, Brother. Amy is?“
"Ck!" M laughs. "You're here to play with us or Amy?“
"He's not there, Fatty!“ jimmi shouted from inside.
"Oh, sorry. I'm just asking." Jason then entered the wooden-floored house and immediately watched Lewis who was dueling with Jimmi.
"Amy hasn't come home yet" explains M, complementing Jimmi's words.
"What do you want to play, Jas?“ ask Zack.
"Just whatever. I don't usually play PS" replied Jason, whose unblinking eyes were staring at the screen Jimmi and Lewis were on.
"Ah, you're not cool." Zack pulls out his PSP from the bag and hands it to Jason. "Try ...."
"Replace, Lew!“ Zack snatches the stick from Lewis who has been KO by Jimmi. Lewis got up, he laid his body on the carpeted floor then.
Jason is busy with his new toys. He first tried electronic games. This guy is not a game enthusiast. Jason is more interested in sports and reading books and comics. But for the sake of his new captain, Jason is trying to win the battle game he is playing.
"Jimm! That's a damn, you! Argh!" zack shouted to see his character die quickly slaughtered Jimmi for the third time.
"You asked, Zack!“ Jimmi grinned, glancing at Jason who was in the middle of a gang with a PSP in his hand.
"Well ... good ... later we play at your house," said Zack slowly. Zack knew Jimmi was mad at him.
Jimmi saw the wall clock. Almost four o'clock in the afternoon. Amy's coming home from karate club practice.
"Come, home! It's late afternoon" Jimmi told Zack and Lewis.
"It's also been a while" Lewis's protest rose immediately. "An hour, is ...."
"Today to here. Come on, we're home!“ Zack snatches the PSP from Jason and pulls Lewis's shirt off to get the guy home.
"Thank you for the toy, Zack," said Jason. "Sister, we go home first." Jason said goodbye to M.
"Jimm, come!" Lewis pulls Jimmi but the guy flinch.
"Awhile more. I have a job" Jimmi said.
Lewis understands that Jimmi and M have often studied together. So he soon caught up with Zack and Jason who had passed the yard.
"Why did you kick them out?“ ask M to Jimmi who is now playing alone.
"Who is driving away? I just reminded them it was late."
M laughed, knowing that Jimmi had deliberately told them to go home on purpose.
"I'm home!“ a voice sounded from the front door.
"Ah, I understand. You're afraid Jason met Amy, right?“
Jimmi was silent. He continued the game until the monitor screen displayed the word 'YOU WIN!' then throw a stick just anyways. The guy smiled at his best friend and grabbed his bag lying on the chair. "I'm home. I'll be back tonight!"
"Basic!" M shook his head at the behavior of his best friend.
"Hi, Am!" greet Jimmi to Amy who just took off her shoes. The guy smiled broadly but Jimmi just passed by right after.
"He why?" amy asked while looking at Jimmi who ran out.
M shrugging his shoulders. "She seems to be happy."
"Oh," Amy muttered then she went inside her room.
