I still remember those days, the days my mom would always tell me stories about the big lump on her belly. She would tell me about how I could become a become brother someday, and I remember so very clearly when that day finally came.

We said our farewells and my dad and I left to the car. Time seemed to be my only wish at the time.
As the car roamed past big skyscrapers and heavy traffic, I kept thinking about my incoming little brother. I didn’t know why but it bothered me so...
