Worlds Apart, or is it...?

II

<Ara's POV>

BEEP BEEP BEEP

The boy was about to tell me his name, I thought to myself.

I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock. I look at my clock and it says 7 am. I decided to get ready as soon as possible. I spring out of bed and decided to take a shower.

After a full hour of getting ready, I got my thing from my room and put them on the couch. After getting all of my bags, I decided to eat ramen that I found in the pantry.

While I was eating, I called an uber to drive to Incheon Intl Airport.

"Ok, so...Uber to the airport, then, by airplane to Daegu," I said to myself as I nod in agreement.

After finishing my ramen for about 5 minutes, I went to the living room to get my things. I was about to leave the house when I suddenly heard footsteps behind me.

"You're leaving already?"

I turned around to see Yeri standing beside the couch, rubbing her eyes using her hands as she yawns while holding a bunny plushie.

"Yep, I want to spend time with my family as much as possible because in a few months, we'll be in our final year of high school and I just know that it's going to be a busy year for us." I sighed as she nodded her head in agreement.

"You're right," she replies.

"Mhm. By the way, when are you going to visit your family in America?"

"I'll be going maybe a day after tomorrow." She said as she walked toward me.

"Ahh ok. Don't forget to say hi to Jimin for me." I said with a wink as she chuckles.

Park Jimin, Yeri's older brother by a year.

She introduced him to me one Autumn afternoon at school.

-Flashback-

<Jimin's POV>

I looked at my watch and that said 4:45 pm.

Thank God, the school's over, I thought to myself as I walked towards the school exit.

I was walking happily when someone suddenly grabbed my arm.

"Jimin-shi"

I turned around to see my little sister, Yeri with a girl standing beside her.

"Ok, first of all, don't call me 'Jimin-shi'," I said as I turned around, facing them.

"Sorry not sorry, Jimin-shi," Yeri said as she stuck her tongue out.

"Yeah right. And second of all, who do we have here?" I asked as I turned in the girl's direction, making eye contact.

"She's Ara, Kim Ara." I looked toward my sister and puts a smile on her face.

"Hello! Nice to meet you." Ara said as she bowed.

I looked towards her and bowed "Nice to meet you too, I'm Jimin by the way." I added.

"Yeah, I know, Yeri is always talking about you," she said as she laughed.

"Hahahahaha, oh did she? I bet she always talked about my good looks, am I right?" I asked Ara.

"Hmm not quite, she always talked about your obsession towards- "she answered as I looked towards Yeri who is running towards the school exit.

"GOSH THAT KID, SHE DID TELL ME SECRET. I'm so sorry but, I need to chase my sister right now. Goodbye and see you around" I said in a hurry while waving my hand.

"Yeah. See you!" she yelled towards me while waving her hand.

-Present-

"Of course. How could I forget? You haven't met him for like...5 years now." She said as I gave her a small nod.

Unfortunately, after 2 weeks of hanging out with Jimin, he went back to America to continue his studies. Well, his parents can't take no for an answer, so, he doesn't have any choice. We haven't met ever since. But we still kept in touch through social media.

I was lost in my thoughts until Yeri hugged me. I hugged her back

"I'll miss you, Yeri"

"You too, Ara."

After we said our goodbyes, I went outside the house to see the uber driver arriving. I hopped into the uber as I looked at my watch saying 8:15 am.

I can't wait to see my family, I thought to myself with a smile on my face.

"Ahhh, Daegu. How I missed you!" I said as I inhaled the breeze.

After 3 hours of riding the airplane, I finally arrived at Daegu Intl Airport. I didn't expect the airport to be so busy at this hour. After finding my way out of the airport for about 10 minutes, I rode the bus towards my parents' house. I looked at my watch that said 11:30 am.

Just in time for lunch, I'm starving, I thought to myself while I imagine myself eating ramyeon.

I'm lying comfortably on the sofa while watching TV near the kitchen. This is life, I thought to myself.

Eomma is out buying groceries because she said someone special is coming home while appa is still working at the bakery.

A few minutes later, I heard someone knocking on the door.

"Wait...my friends are not here in Daegu. I wonder who it could be." I said to myself as I slowly stood up from the sofa.

OMG, I thought to myself as I slowly walked towards the door.

"OH MY GOSH, OPPA!!!" My little sister, Ara, said as she hugged me tightly. Well, of course, I hugged her back.

After a few minutes of hugging, she pulled away from our mini-hug and then suddenly punched me on the stomach.

"Aish, that hurts you know?" I said as I hold my stomach as she puts her hands on her waist.

"Well, you deserved it Oppa. Wait a minute..." she said as she put her hand on her chin while I gave her a confused look. After a few minutes of silence, she gave me a 'I get it now' look.

"YAH! KIM TAEHYUNG, YOU WERE LIKE THIS TALL WHEN I LAST SAW YOU!" she whisper-yelled as she put her hand above her head as I laughed.

"Well, you know ma sister, I have my ways, anddd I won't tell you," I said as I stuck my tongue out.

"Well, I'm glad that I'm not as short as you," I whispered to myself.

Well true.

For some unknown reason, Ara heard it.

"YAH! I'M NOT SHORT, I'M AVERAGE, OK?" she whisper-yelled again while punching my stomach.

"Whatever you say...SHORTIE!" I said as I laughed while she keeps punching my stomach.

After all of that was done, a realization hit me...

My sister is still outside the house for the past 10 minutes.

Oops
