Pulling Off The Impossible/Ethan Choi
AUTUMN I SMILED AS I WATCHED SEV sleeping in the middle of the bed, his arms stretched out and his mouth slightly opened. I turned around, leaving the door slightly open, and walked towards the living room where I had some work needing to be done. I always had the habit of bringing unfinished works home so that I could do them when Sev was sleeping. That way it wouldn’t cut any time I spent with Sev. I was halfway through the second draft when I heard his light footsteps followed by his voice. “Aren’t you going to sleep?” “No.” I moved my attention back to my laptop screen again. “I have to finish them so we could still go to the zoo tomorrow.” The couch dipped and I was suddenly aware of his presence. I gripped the paper a little tighter and turned to face him. “Go to sleep, Fray. You don’t need to wait for me.” “Fray,” he drawled. “It has been a while since you called me that.” Feeling slightly nervous about our closeness, I put my laptop aside, then stood and moved to the

FRAY THE PERSON SHE HAD IN MIND was none other than her brother Steven. I’d only met Steven twice. The first time was at Cas’s home a few years ago during Summer and the second, most recent one was at Tyler’s parents’ wedding. From what I’d gathered, he didn’t approve of me. He seemed to have a close relationship with Tyler so highly likely he blamed me for Autumn and Ty’s breakup. I gazed down at the cup of tea I was holding and took a deep breath in. Sometimes I wondered if I was the reason they were separating but I convinced myself that during my absence, they could’ve gone back together but they hadn’t. Thus I must not have been the reason. Looking at Sev who was sleeping on the couch next to me, I wasn’t so sure anymore. “Fray?” I heard Autumn before I saw her walking into the living room. She smiled the second her eyes found mine. One day, I would ask her. But not today. My lips stretched into a smile, mimicking hers as if they knew that they smiled simply because she was

Fray POV “YOU DO KNOW THAT I DON’T LIKE YOU, RIGHT?” Steven said after he took a swig of Corona Extra. I met his eyes deadpan, daring myself not to show any sign of weakness. “The sentiment is not lost on me although it does make me wonder.” “What?” “Pardon?” Steven growled. “It makes you wonder what?” “It makes me wonder how come a person dislikes someone he doesn’t truly know. Isn’t that a bit like saying you don’t like apples even though you’ve never eaten an apple?” There was a long silence before Steven finally replied. “Fine. You have a point there.” He took another swig of his beer, nearly finishing half of its content, then sighed. “Maybe I am a bit biased. All I know was my sister had a good relationship with Tyler before you stepped into the picture. And when you did, they broke up and she was heartbroken and pregnant. With your kid. Look, I don’t know what happened because she wouldn’t tell me and I wouldn’t force her to. But let’s make one thing clear. I wasn’t

Autumn POV AS I WALKED TOWARDS HIM, I started to feel nervous. Perhaps I shouldn’t do this. The look on his face was full of hope and the last thing I wanted was to turn it into sadness. The last thing I ever wanted was to break his heart. But at the same time, I knew this was the right thing to do—that I needed to do this for both of us to move on. Tyler hugged me the second his eyes met mine. I let myself relax in his embrace. This would be the last one. After a while I stepped backward, his hands dropped to the side of his face and when our eyes finally met again, I knew that he knew. He knew what I was going to say. I could see it in his eyes, feel it in the air as I watched his expression turn sour. “You don’t want to start over,” was all he said. “After all the things we’ve been through, you refused to give me another chance. Even after everything, Autumn? Really?” “Look, Ty, I really don’t want to do this but I have to.” I took a deep breath and tried my best to ignore the
