"Dear, I am so proud of you!" Jeno's mother said as she pinched his soft, pudgy cheeks. Jeno was set to become a trainee in sm entertainment and, hopefully, complete the dream of him and his family and debut. Jeno was very happy that afternoon - a stark contrast to what the evening held.

"Jeno~~~" Jeno's sister yelled as she ran up to him and hugged him tightly. "Congratulations~" she sung happily as Jeno patted her head.

"Where's father?" The older boy said, though he was still so young. At the mention of Jeno's father his mother frowned and headed towards the front seat of the car. Jeno stood confused and silent. Jeno's sister lightly squeezed the hand of Jeno's that she had now managed to hold. This prompted Jeno to look down towards her. She was adorable, so small and her hand was so small against Jeno's.

"... I heard them fighting earlier." The small girl said. "I don't think I was meant to hear..." she said, sadness present in her voice. She never liked it when people raised their voices at each other, let alone argue.

"I'm sure they'll make it up soon." Jeno said as he smiled as he squeezed the girl's hand. His eyes were also smiling.

"You're eyes look funny when you smile~" the smaller girl laughed. She meant no harm of course, she was simply trying to bring up the mood.

"What do you mean they look funny?" Jeno said defensively. "I was told it was cute!"

"Well someone lied~" she smiled again before running off to the car. The small girl was cute, very cute. Jeno thought he was lucky to have her as a sibling. A sibling he could protect.

By now it was dark. The moon was covered by the dark rain clouds which created the gloomy atmosphere and the heavy rainfall. Jeno played with whatever he had in his backpack. He had eaten all the snacks his mother gave to him and was now searching for something to cure his everlasting boredom. Next to Jeno was his little sister, quietly hugging a stuffed animal as she slept. How she has fallen asleep was a mystery to him. The animal was a small white bunny and the girl carried it everywhere she went.

The car was stopped at stoplights. The ominous red light lit up the dark interior of the car, making everything eerie. The traffic passed in-front of the car, engines of older cars raring and the noise of wheels on tarmac could be heard. After a short while, the eerie lighting turned from the bright red to a yellow, and then to a bright green. The car started moving, however, Jeno noticed the engine of an old car and the noise of rubber on the tarmac could still be heard, and it was getting louder at an alarming rate.

Jeno looked to where the sound was coming from. It came from where his mother sat, minding her own business. It came from where his sister slept, suffocating the stuffed animal in her hug.

"Jeno?" The deep voice of Jeno's father could be heard.

"Yes, father?"

"Don't push yourself."

"Don't worry about me"
