Chapter 1 | New Life

- 2021 -

A young woman sat in front of her canvas, looking critically at her painting. She wasn't sure if she liked her painting or not. There was something nostalgic about the painting, but she knew it was impossible to have such an emotional attachment to the painting. Especially since she'd never even been in that situation before.

The painting was a simple one. It showed the rear profile of a young boy in an old historical garment that was traditionally worn by the commoners. The young boy was holding hands with a young girl. Unlike the boy, the young girl was wearing an old traditional garment which was worn by women of a higher status. In the sky above the two subjects, there were floating lanterns lighting up the darkened sky.

For as long as she could remember, she always had the same kind of dream. A young girl who comes from a very rich old family and a young boy that was a commoner. But no matter how many times she tried to recall the face of the young girl or boy, it was useless. As soon as she woke up, their faces were clouded. She couldn't remember it at all.

Unbeknownst to her, a single tear dropped from her eye.

"What is wrong with me?" She muttered to herself as she quickly wiped the stray tear away with her palm.

A young man was nervous. His legs were bouncing at a rapid rate. He was biting his fingernail. All he had to do was to click on the email and read it. It was simple, yes, but he was a ball of nerves. With this one email, his life could change or stay the same.

The email was from Big Hit Records, the Music Department of Hybe Entertainment, arguably the biggest entertainment company in South Korea.

Letting out a deep breath, he shakily clicked on the email.

' Dear Mr Min Yoongi,
We are pleased to inform you that you have been hired at Big Hit Records as our newest music producer. We are attaching a copy of the contract. Please read it over and bring any concerns or questions you may have to our next meeting, where we will be signing the contract. We look forward to working with you.
Sincerely,
Big Hit Records Management '

Yoongi read the email again. He couldn't believe his eyes. He had to re-read the email a couple of times before it fully registered that he was indeed hired by Big Hit Records.

He immediately ran out of his room and headed straight for his sister's room. Without knocking, he opened the door. Normally he would, but this news was just too big to wait.

"Y/N-ah! Guess-" He exclaimed as he opened the door.

He stopped short when he saw Y/N sitting on her stool, almost mindlessly looking at a new painting that she finished. She looked completely lost in thought, and he could see the slight glaze in her eyes, almost like she was on the verge of tears. His eyes naturally went to the painting. And for some strange reason, there was a pain in his heart. It felt like someone had stabbed him. His breath hitched as he looked at the painting. Something about the painting seemed so familiar.

He slowly and quietly walked towards Y/N, his eyes never leaving the painting.

"That's a nice painting," Yoongi cut through the silence.

It was only then that Y/N looked away from her painting and looked up at Yoongi. She smiled softly, thanking her brother.

The two siblings were very different from other siblings. They heard stories from their friends that normally siblings, especially brother-sister relationships, always fought and constantly annoyed each other. But the two Min siblings have never gotten into a fight nor have they done anything to purposefully annoy the other. They had disagreements, sure, but they were very mature and communicated their thoughts and their viewpoints clearly, and resolved their problems quickly.
