Thin Ice- SunSun

[Chapter 2]

A hot, steamy shower, the best way to start the morning. Kim Sunoo loved waking up bright and early, ready for a long day of school. He cherished every moment of the day, especially his morning shower. The steam from the hot water was so fun, it gave Sunoo the opportunity to doodle any and all cute things along the showers glass. Small things like this brought Sunoo so much joy.

Skin care, yummy food, cute animals and happy music, were the centers of Sunoo's universe. This bright, giggly boy, with a smile that could light up a room, had this aura of positivity surrounding him wherever he went. 

This adorable exterior could fool anyone into thinking Sunoo had no awareness of the world, life isn't easy and its definitely not all sunshine and rainbows. Being one of the top students in his class, Sunoo understood this. With a passion burning inside him, he knew he had to keep working hard if he wanted to achieve his biggest dream. Becoming an Idol. After being approached by a scout, Sunoo didn't take anything for granted. He had began his journey, but with no guarantee of debuting, he knew that if he wanted to go far, he had to shine; shine brighter than anyone else. 

"Sunoo you've got this! Today you're going to nail this performance." Every morning before school, Sunoo said his daily aspirations. He knew that many people doubted him, many people judged him and many people hated him, just for doing what he loved to do. So, Sunoo made sure that the only voice he listened to was his own, because if he believed in himself, then he could do anything. 

With half an hour until school, Sunoo heads downstairs to greet his family. His mum and sister meant the world to him, they supported everything he did, which he was extremely grateful for. This helped encourage him to keep going through all the hard times, just so he could make them proud. 

"Good morning! I hope you all slept well." Cheering as he enters the kitchen, Sunoo soaks in the most beautiful aroma, his mothers cooking. In his mind, nothing could beat it. On his way to his seat, he gives his older sister, Mi-Sun, a gentle back hug, which she responds with playfully rustling his hair. 

"Ah my hair, be careful I spent an hour on this." Sunoo whines. Taking his seat at the kitchen table, he crosses his arms, lifting his head just high enough to see his hair in the mirror hung on the wall. "Hmm my hair is ruined now." He pouts.

"Aw but your messy hair is just too cute." Leaning over, his sister begins fixing the few strands of hair she had put out of place. "There perfect! you look adorable as always Sunoo."

"Less talking and more eating, Sunoo's got a big performance today, he needs his energy." Sunoo's mother slams three more heaping spoonfuls of scrambled eggs onto her son's plate. 

"C'mon mum, if I eat that much it'll weigh me down." Sunoo giggles, knowing that he hadn't even started the ginormous portion that was originally waiting for him. 

"Just eat." Heading back to the cooker, she tends to the other two portions of scrambled eggs cooking on the stove.

"What about me? Can I have-"

Cupping Mi-Sun's mouth with his hand, Sunoo stops her from talking. "If you finish your sentence then she's gonna cook ten more portions at the least." Glancing quickly back and forth between his plate and his mother, Sunoo scoops half his eggs onto his sisters plate. "Here, eat this before she sees."

Gulfing down their eggs, the siblings utensils can barely been seen due to the speed of their eating. By the time their mother came back over, she found Sunoo and his sister slumped over their two empty plates. Regretting their decision instantly, the food may have tasted great, but eating that fast was not a good choice. 

"Ah what's wrong with you two?" Sliding the skillets full of scrambled eggs onto the table, Sunoo's mother takes the seat across from him. 

Sunoo leans back, resting both hands over his very full stomach. "The food was delicious mum but I really can't eat anymore." He groans.
