| My Aunt's House

*pak*

*pak*

I wake up trembling as I hear gunshots.

*pak*

"Jisoos..."

...

♪ [ ~ Numb - Jay Wile ~ ]

I took a shower and after grabbing something in the kitchen, I'm coming outside to watch my aunt train near the pool.

"Good morning, gomo..."

She ignores me, must be the headphones.

"... Good morning, gomo!"

She shifts the gun's direction towards me and I widen my eyes.

She laughs and puts down her gun and takes off her headphones.

"Good morning."

"You're going to train other things after?" I ask and bite my peach.

"Sorry, I know it's Christmas."

"No, it's just... if you want an assistant to help you train fights, I can do it... and you could teach me some moves," I do some fighting gestures in the air... almost choke on the piece of peach I'm chewing... and I finish my movements by swallowing it... a slight cough... and scene...

She furrows her eyebrows.

"Ah... I can teach you, but why the sudden interest...?"

"I realized that if something happens, I may not be really good at protecting myself or others if they need it... and I want to be prepared..."

"Who are these... others...?"

"I-I meant people in general."

"Hm okay... but don't start one or get into fights that have nothing to do with you..."

"Mhm."

...

I asked my aunt not to go easy on me... and I regret it... very much.

I feel like something broke inside of me.

Aishh... even grabbing the fork hurts.

I think my pain is a bit too visible since my aunt is here at the table trying to contain her laughter.

"You were not that bad... you have strength, but you really don't know how to use it," she chuckles.

"I liked it, whenever you're free to put it with me just say, and I'll come train with you."

"I will."

...

"I know my friends from the agency are boring but you don't really want to spend New Year's here?" she asks as she finishes her glass of wine.

"Thank you, but I already have plans."

"Oh... I miss my university days, those parties. How will it be?"

The party that I'm going to...? A party such as this...

"Ah... I'm not going to those parties... is going to be just a small... casual party..."

"When will you introduce me to your friends...? I'm starting to believe that you're lying to me when you say you have friends..."

I chuckle.

"Okay, I know I didn't have many close friends... but that changed this year... so if you want, I can introduce you to them one day, gomo..."

She slaps my arm, excited.

"I can't wait! Wait... I want proof, show me pictures...! Mr. Soo, I don't have my lens. Can you give me my glasses, please?"

"What...? Now?"

She puts her glasses on.

"Mhm."

"I don't have many photos with them."

"Doesn't matter, show me the ones you got."

"Ah-okay..."

I grab my phone and get up.

I show her the photos.

"This is Rosé."

"She's pretty..."

"Mhm."

"She seems a bit crazy, I like it."

I chuckle.

"The one with black pants is Jisoo."

"Hmmm, and who is this girl?"

"Jennie..."

"Her eyes... I feel like I know her from somewhere..."

"I hope not from one of your cases in Interpol..." I chuckle.

"What is her full name...?" she asks with a serious face.

"Ah..."

I gulp.

"... I don't know..." I don't know why I lied...

"Sorry... you know I'm a workaholic, I'm sure is nothing."

She goes to see the next photos, which are me and Jennie a bit too close to not receive questions so I move away and sit again.

"That's it... I don't have more."

"You know I can ask the agency to hack your phone and see if you're lying...?"

"Please don't..."

"Tell me right now, what you are hiding..." she smirks.

"I... just... met someone... but it didn't go well..."

She changes her look to a sadder one.

"Don't worry, hon... first loves they never meant to last... you will meet others... and if you don't, that doesn't mean you can't enjoy life like me..."

"I think Rosé will like you..."

"Everyone likes me, hon."

I chuckle.
