"There's no way your mom can do that, you're twenty-one just live your own life."
That's the dumbest thing I heard.
This is why when Lola speaks I can't help but get annoyed. She's not even part of the crew but Thiago is so dumb and love struck that he can't take two steps without her next to him.
"And what? Give up on my simple easy life? Fuck that, I'd rather thug it out in Korea and pretend I'm redeemed and then come back."
"Aren't you ashamed," Thiago asked taking a sip out of his drink.
"Aren't you ashamed of wearing a muscle tee with no muscles? When you live in your truth like I do, there is no shame. Why would I wanna be broke and without my parents? I love my mum and dad."
"My baby has muscles," Lola protested.
"Bitch no he don't and stop screeching, you're yelling louder than my Beats," Luciano scoffed ignoring Thiago's glare.
Thiago, Luciano and I have been best friends since kindergarten. We are what you would consider the popular boys on campus but we're just a bunch of handsome dudes who happens to be friends/
Luciano is actually uncle Marcello's surprise child. His mother just suddenly dropped him off with his papers on uncle's doorstep when he was a toddler and dipped.
Uncle took a DNA test and it said, he was the daddy so he had to step up. Not like he had a choice but to become a single dad.
Uncle Fabiano said he missed out on a bag by not going on Dr Phill.
Thiago and I just randomly shared a cookie once at kindergarten and boys don't need much... bros from that moment to eternity.
"Hey Lu, don't call her a bitch-"
"Thiago, stop. You can't turn a hoe into a housewife and you know this."
"Hey-"
"I saw your girl on Elio's private story, wide open and it's still up because it was twenty hours ago. I'm sorry Thiago."
I told him to mind his business. I saw that shit too and I pretended I didn't because he knew what it was. I ain't one to judge because I'm a hoe too but damn... sis was having a good time.
"Lola is that true?"
"T-Thiago im sorry-"
Luciano and I looked at each other before sighing. Here we go again.
...
"Is auntie really gonna go ahead with this craziness?"
"She's deadass bro," I confirmed, "pass me the chain. I can't leave the drip behind."
"You're gonna fedex a chain? Do you want your shit to go missing on purpose?"
"...good thinking bro."
Luciano decided to come hang out at my house and help me with the packing. Thiago is in his feelings so he needs a bit of time to understand that he got played.
Couldn't let that shit happen to me though.
"How do you fuck up so bad that you're moving a whole different continent to be taught a lesson?"
"You know what the problem is? My mum is a rich housewife with too much time. Mix that with the fact that Netflix got her hooked on k-dramas and you have this right here."
My mum complains about being bored all the time and I guess that's why she decided to have the twins. She wasn't planning on twins but here they are.
They can be spoiled but when dad gives them everything they want, it would be surprising if they weren't.
They wanted to be on a children's program they watch and dad was going to make it happen but, mom is extremely against us being in the media. Grandma Kim also said that a Kim should not be whoring themselves out for social media clout.
She didn't say that but, that's what I heard.
"People with money just be doing anything, huh?"
"I once brought a supreme skateboard - I have no interest in skateboarding but I'm rich though. That's the only reason I brought it."
"But you know... isn't it lonely?"
"No," I side-eyed him like way too emotional about this shit.
Rich people have fun too and I'm Kim Haneul... I have double the fun. My great grandad told me whatever I wanted, I could get it before he passed.
Great grandad Anurak passed when I was ten but he was a cool dude. Always brought me presents and took me on hella holidays. Great grandma Anurak passed shortly after but I'm sure they are together in the afterlife.
They had that true love, that once in a million type of vibe.
But great grandpa Kim balls hard... he told me the sky is the limit and we own that too.
I mean... my grandad has virgin galactic stock so I guess the Kims will be in space soon.
Yeah, our family is the fun type of rich. Why would I complain about that? People aren't and can't do it like us.
"What are you boys doing," my mum asked peeking into my room. "You two dumplings packing?"
"Mom stop, we're not six anymore."
"But you'll always be my babies," she smiled pinching both of our cheeks. "Haneul why is your jewellery in the cardboard boxes? I know you're not going to fedex that - you want to lose your stuff?"
"That's what I said auntie."
"Luciano, you really do God's work."
