Cold air hit Yeonjun's feet, disturbing his peaceful slumber. He whined, disgruntled but made no attempt to wake up, stuffing his feet back under the covers. The attic was always cold, unlike his old room the attic didn't have a heater, but Yeonjun has long since been used to these living conditions. Since his alarm didn't go off yet, Yeonjun snuggled deeper into his covers and hugged his pillow close to his chest, returning to dreamland.

"Yeonjun!"

Ugh, what an irritating voice. He didn't remember Haewon being in his dream? Maybe it's shifted into a nightmare.

"Yeonjun! Yeonjun! ANSWER ME NOW!"

Yeonjun jolted upright. He definitely heard it that time. Blinking the sleep from his eyes, Yeonjun blearily glanced at the BT21 clock resting on his bedside table.

"Oh shit-" Yeonjun's eyes widened at the time, all lingering thoughts of sleep thrown out the window. "It's 7:15!" Yeonjun yelps, jumping out of bed and rushing to get his things.

School doesn't start until 8:00, but Yeonjun always heads to school by 6:45 so he can walk with Beomgyu and Taehyun.

What is she waking him up for? She doesn't care if he makes it to school on time.

"YEONJUN!" Haewon shouts, twice as loud as before through the intercom as if reminding him of her presence.

Yeonjun presses the intercom button and readily asks, "Yes, Haewon?"

"About time." She grumbles irritably. "You're lucky I don't ground you." Yeonjun rolls his eyes, but keeps his mouth shut grateful she can't see him through the intercom.

Haewon doesn't wait for a response. "I'll be heading out in a moment to meet up with an important client."

Okay? "And why does this concern me?" Yeonjun asked. Honestly, it's too early for this.

"Watch your mouth you little pest." Haewon hissed. Oop- he hadn't realized he said that out loud.

"Remember I own you." She warned. Yeonjun clenched his fists to his sides, but said nothing. He's learned that nothing good comes from arguing with his stepmother.

"Prepare my breakfast before I go." Haewon ordered. "I need something light, I'm trying to watch my figure." She added haughtily. He could almost see her lifting her nose at him.

"What figure?" Yeonjun mumbled to himself. The woman was pretty, but she was just a stick.

"What?" Haewon challenged. "Speak up."

"Will a Greek Yogurt be fine for you madam?" Yeonjun responds in an overly formal manner. Mockingly bowing for her even though he knows she can't see him.

"Yes." Haewon replies. "I want bananas, strawberries, and granola with honey. That'll suffice."

"Bananas, strawberries, granola, honey. Got it." Yeonjun repeats curtly, just trying to end this conversation as quickly as possible.

"And," Haewon continues. Yeonjun nearly groans. "Call Eat Jin's for reservations for four people this afternoon. 12 am sharp. Under Haewon Choi."

Ugh. Haewon Choi. Why did she have to use his surname? Why not her maiden name?

"Got it?" She demanded.

"Got it." Yeonjun echoed. "I will do that. Okay, Bye-"

"I dismiss you Yeonjun." Haewon declares in that pretentious tone of hers, "And I'm not finished yet."
