"I'm thinking of getting tattoos. Should I?" I lean back on the couch.

"Tattoos? Ew, really? You're really thinking of getting TATTOOS, sis?" Heeseung looks at me with judgement.

"Mom and dad would kill you."

"Mom and dad aren't here, Heeseung." I yawn. "They won't be for a long time."

"Tattoos are cool. What kind are you thinking of getting, though?" Jake lays his head on my shoulder.

I flick his forehead.

"Black and white. I want tattoos on my arms and a small one on my collarbone area." I blow a bubble with the gum in my mouth, then I pop it.

"All black tattoos? You'll look so grunge-y, sis. You really want to do that?" Heeseung shakes his head at me.

"I'm considering it. It's 50/50. I want to be bold and do dumb stuff while I'm still young. But... I'm also scared, too. I don't want to stand out like that." I explain.

Heeseung, Jake, Jay, and Sunghoon were with me in the living room while we ate snacks and talked together. Jungwon had things to do at home so he couldn't come over.

"I think you'd look really cool. Tattoos are dope. Get them, Hyewon." Jay expresses.

"Besides, you only live once. What's so wrong about standing out? You already do, anyway. Stand out even more. Be the first girl at your school to have cool ass tattoos." Jay gives me a reassuring smile.

"Thanks, Jay." I grin.

"I think getting tattoos really matches your style, Hyewon. You'd look so good." Jake ruffles my hair.

"Yeah. Your style is kinda like... dark, grunge, cool... it would really fit you." Sunghoon jumps in.

"Hm. I don't know. Maybe I'll wait until I turn 18." I decide.

"Thank gosh." Heeseung sighs out of relief.

"Shut up, Heeseung. You suck. Tattoos are so cool." I cross my arms, huffing.

"You'd look good with them; but... TOO good. People will hate you and come for you. I don't want that to happen. And, mom and dad will surely never like your tattoos." My brother says.

"I'll be 18 before they come back. It won't matter if they like them or not." I shrug my shoulders.

"Ah... my sister... so rebellious.." He sighs dramatically again.

"Let her do her thing, hyung. You know how Hyewon is. She's different from everyone else. She's bold and confident. You know that already. We should just support whatever makes her happy." Sunghoon backs me up.

"Thanks, lover boy." I snort.

"Never mind. Don't support whatever makes her happy." Sunghoon blows a raspberry at me, teasing me.

"We all know you're a lover boy, Sunghoon. Don't get salty." I giggle.

"Speaking of lover boy... Jungwon really has a thing for you, doesn't he?" Jay smirks at me.

"Stop." I face palm.

"She acts all cold whenever we bring him up, but she totally melts whenever he's actually around her." Sunghoon cackles loudly.

"I KNOW for a FACT you're not talking right now, Sunghoon." I deadpan.

"Let's not forget you promised Yeji you'd cook her rice for when she came home two days ago, but you ended up being too busy with your girlfriend." I shoot back.

"Tch. Not cool, Sunghoon." Jay jokes.

"Let's not forget you swore to everyone you absolutely hated Jungwon with all your guts, now you look at him like you saw the most handsome dude in the world." Sunghoon sticks his tongue out at me.

"Shots fired back." Heeseung begins to laugh hysterically.

"Let's not forget you introduced your girlfriend to your family before you even asked her out. Let's not forget that you had barely any experience with girls before her but you fell head over heels in love with her." I roll my eyes.

"You guys are totally going off on each other. This is so funny." Jay holds his stomach out of hysterical laughter.

"Let's gaur!!!" Jake claps his hands repeatedly, giggling.

"Let's not forget you bought Jungwon $300 worth of clothes before you guys went on a first date." Sunghoon remarks.

"HAHAHAHAHA YOU DID, SIS???" Heeseung outbursts.

"Yup. She did. She told me herself." Sunghoon smirks at me.

"Oh yeah? Let's not forget you were obsessed with your girlfriend from day one when you first met her." I glare at him.

"Whatever. I'm too mature to fight with a 17 year old." Sunghoon sticks his tongue out at me one last time.

"You guys are so funny. Hyewon, you're hilarious." Jay wiped his tears from laughing so hard.

"She really is. She knows just how to fire back at someone." Jake snorts.

"She's not funny." Sunghoon scoffs playfully.

"Lover boy over here is just moody because his girlfriend isn't with him right now." I lean back against the sofa again.

"Lover girl over here is just cranky because her future boyfriend isn't with her right now. Isn't that right, Hyewon?" Sunghoon bats his eyelashes at me in a mocking way.

"Go to hell." I chuckle.

"My girlfriend really wants to meet you, you know. I told her about you and Jungwon and she's happy for you. I told her how you both are obsessed with shopping. She's excited to meet you sometime." Sunghoon fixes his hair.

"I'm excited to meet her, too. Give her my number if anything." I respond.

"How are you and Jungwon, sis? You haven't updated me recently." Heeseung sips on strawberry milk.

"We've been good. Just normal."

"Are you guys dating yet? Have you guys made it official?" Jay asks me.

"No. We're waiting on him. He says he's not ready yet. He has to sort things out first."

"Oh yeah.. he's struggled with his emotional health before. He's been getting better I can tell, but don't worry. He just wants to be the best he can for you." Jay assures me.

"Yeah. I'm waiting for him."

"Can't believe my little sis will get a boyfriend, soon... time flies by so quick. You're all grown up now, Hyewon!" Heeseung teases me.

"You're not that much older than me. Quit acting like you're 30." I scowl.

"You really ARE moody, aren't you? Should we call Jungwon over?"
