Your senses immediately picked up on the sound of the front door closing, signaling the arrival of your older brother, Yen.

He had been sneaking out lately, presumably to visit his newest girlfriend. As soon as he stepped inside, you heard his quick footsteps up the stairs to his desk, which, given the creaky walls of the house, felt almost amplified.

Despite your lack of academic aspirations, you couldn't help but appreciate the tremendous effort Yen has put into his academic pursuits. However, it's clear that his remarkable achievements have been largely under-appreciated by the masses and, perhaps, even by your parents.

Which wasn’t a surprise, your parents tend to ignore you and focus on giving Yen the pressure. It was like they were begging the poor guy to leave and graduate already.
