"Felix! Get down here! The guests arrived!" my mom shouts from downstairs. I grumble in annoyance, stomping down the stairs.

"I just want to go to Jeongin's house! Why am I here?" I whine.

"Felix, they're right there! Show some manners!" my mom exclaims.

"Manners... never heard of that word," I say.

"Oh god..." my mom sighs.

"Bro, you might want to sit down. This is actually interesting!" Olivia says. I turn to the guests in confusion. Sitting in front of me is an extremely familiar figure. Bang Chan... from the Basketball team!

What is he doing here? And why does his mother look like my mother?

"Uhh... Why is he here?" I question, pointing to Chan.

"Because we have ties with him," my mom replies.

"Explain the 'ties' you have with him," I question.

"He's your cousin..." she whispers.

"... WHAT?" I shout.

"Yeah... meet your cousin!" my mom smiles.

"Cousin?"

"Felix right? Nice to meet you--" Chan greets.

"WOAH WOAH. STEP AWAY FROM ME. I DON'T BELIEVE THIS CRAP. THIS-- THIS GUY IS MY COUSIN? WHY DIDN'T I KNOW SOONER?"

"Oh well... me and Chan's mother are siblings! We lost contact with each other after I moved to Australia! But yeah..." my mom explains.

"YOU NEVER TOLD ME I HAD A COUSIN!"

"YEAH WELL, YOU NEVER ASKED!" my mom argues.

"OMMA, IT'S COMMON SENSE TO TELL YOUR KID THAT THEY HAVE A COUSIN!"

"WELL, I APOLOGISE YOUNG MAN, BUT TAKE SEAT WILL YOU!" my mom shouts.

"Fine!" I groan.

"Oh, my god!! Is this my nephew? You all grown up!" says my aunt. She waddles over pinching my cheeks and hugging me. I turn to my mom in desperation.

STOP HER PLEASE! MY FACE IS GOING TO FALL APART!

"Uh... hi aunty..." I say awkwardly.

"Dear god! When was the last time I saw you? Like when you were a year old!"

"Uh huh..."

"Anyway sis, we need to catch up on all the years we've been separated!" my aunt exclaims, turning to my mother. I watch my mum and aunt converse with each other as Chan and Olivia are also communicating. I silently sneak out of the lounge and run to the door, only to be stopped by my so-called 'cousin'.

"Who tf- oh you."

"Where are you going?"

"Anywhere but near you."

"...Oh."

"No, not literally. I'm going to my friend's house."

"Oh! Maybe I can join?"

"No. That would be awkward."

"But I'll get to know you better."

"That won't be fun. Trust me."

"Oh come-"

"Nope! My friends are here! See ya!" I shout, running out of the house as Jeongin's car pulled into the driveway.

"Woah. What's the rush?" Jisung yelps.

"Just drive!" I whine.

"Okay?" Jeongin shrugs.
