Rose walked downstairs to grab something to eat, "Morning, Mom, morning, Mr. Kim."

"Rosie, you can call me Dad or Appa like the boys. I'm happy to have a daughter finally. Maybe you can keep those three in line. I sure as hell can't."

She nodded her head, "Ah, okay. I'll try Appa." She had never called anyone Dad, so Appa was okay with her. It still felt strange, but if it made him happy, she could do that.

"Honey, we are leaving as soon as we are done eating. Are you going to be okay here?"

She nodded her head. She wouldn't be, but she'd never tell her that. 

"Good, you start school tomorrow. They'll take you, and the two boys next door ride with him. Your new uniform is hanging up right there." Great, more boys to deal with. Rose looked to where she was pointing and saw a plaid skirt, a white shirt, and a blazer. There were tall white socks and black Mary Jane chunky heels. Excellent, she's never had to wear uniforms before. But it's only for a few months, so she'll yet again suck it up.

"Thanks, Mom and Appa. I'm going to go upstairs and shower." She gave them each a hug and told them she'd miss them. She just wanted to go to her shower and cry, so that's what she did. Rose let out big fat sobs; she was in a new country where she didn't speak the language. She had three older brothers who harassed her, and now her mom was leaving for the first time in her life for who knows how long.

Rose heard a knock on the door, but she ignored it. She didn't want to see anyone right now. She was sitting in the corner of the shower on the floor; her knees pulled up so she could hug them. Technically, she was naked, but you couldn't see anything. That's why she didn't freak out when she heard him talking: "Why are you crying? You get to live the rest of your life as my Dad's rich little princess?"

She lifted her head to glare at Seokjin. "I'd give all of this up in a heartbeat to move back to Texas with my mom. I never wanted this; I was happy, Jin. I had a great life, friends, and even a guy I was crushing on. Now, I'm in a country where I don't understand anything anyone is saying, and I have three brothers who are determined to make me miserable. No amount of money would make me want this life."

He looked shocked. "You didn't want to come here? My Dad said you couldn't wait to move here and that you were excited about it."

She snorted, "That's because my mom lied to him; she probably didn't want him to know the truth."

"And that would be?"

Rose sighed and looked at him again, "I was going to stay there and graduate, then go to college in Texas with my best friend and never even have to come to Korea. I had no intention of ever living here until I saw that it broke my mom's heart. So I told her I'd come. Then she told me that I have three older brothers now. That information was almost enough to make me change my mind, but she looked so happy. I have never seen my mother this happy; I won't take that from her. No matter what you three do to me, I can take it. It's only a few months, and then I can return to the States and college."

"You aren't going to go to college here?"

She shrugged, "That depends on you guys. At the rate it's going, no, I won't." Talking to him made her stop crying. "Now, could you leave so I can shower?"

He shook his head no and leaned back on the bathroom counter with his arms crossed and his feet. He was challenging her, fuck that. She was sick of these assholes. She wasn't ashamed of her body; she looked great in a bikini. So she stood up and proceeded to wash herself. Rose heard him growl but ignored him; he cleared his throat. "I heard Tae slept in your room last night, and you guys cuddled?"

Rose turned around to look at him; he looked jealous. "My eyes are up here, Seokjin."

"Oppa, you should call us Oppa."
