They say the bond between siblings is among the purest relations to exist. But what if it's not a blood relation?
Sometimes, such bonds are stronger than blood.
Join Areum and her step-brothers in their journey to discover what a family really means...
I actually named Areum's house after this song but then thought it'd be fun for Ms. Hwang to be a fan of the idol 'Rain'. Do give this song a listen. Jimin's last part in this does things to my brain. So does the start of Hobi's verse.

Areum squints a bit as the air from the open window lashes at her face, making stray hair dance like the wobbly air dancers one sees at a carnival. Almost dozing off, she startles as a loud laugh rings around her.
Her mother was currently at the wheel of their car, a grey out-dated thing, and had just laughed at some wisecrack from Jimin who was at one of the windows in the backseat. Taehyung giggled from behind Areum. She looked at the maknae in the rear view mirror. He was squeezed between Jimin and Taehyung , who were both talking animatedly to Min-ah.
Like her, Jungkook too seemed to not be paying attention to whatever antics their journey companions were engaged in. Instead he seemed utterly fascinated by the gear stick. His expression looked so lost, it was cute.
'Jungshook' She smiled at her thought.
Looking back outside, Areum approximated the time to reach Rain to be around ten minutes at the most. Her and Ms. Hwang had invited the three over for lunch.
It started when while helping eachother out with dress and suit choices, Sejin had come inside the store to remind Yoongi of their time limit. Yoongi looked up from talking to Ms. Hwang about types of fabric materials and comfort and rolled his white shirt sleeve to look at his watch, an Audemar's Piguet, and seemed surprised at how fast time flew.
He had lost track of the hour while with their new shopping companions. Yoongi would have to leave soon if he wanted to make it to office on time. They did not even have lunch yet and wow, wasn't he hungry. It seemed that his brothers shared the sentiment since not a second after Yoongi thought so he heard Jungkook's stomach rumble. He saw Ms. Hwang look over the the maknae as well. He was sure that if the woman had animalears, they would be twitching by that time. Her body language tensed up when Jimin whined to Yoongi about how they'd missed breakfast and were now hungry.
The businessman in Yoongi saw a good opportunity. It was common knowledge in the Kim household that Ms. Hwang despised the idea of take-outs unless absolutely necessary. It was also agreed upon that Ms. Hwang's cooking skills could put him and Jin-Hyung a run for their money. Not that they ever complained. Another thing they collectively agreed upon was that they needed to bond a bit more with Areum. The shy girl was not one to start (or lead) conversations and steered clear of their path in college. While this was something most of them liked, they would however also like to know Areum a little better. If the younger girl shared her mother's opinions, she too would not like the idea of them potentially starving till someone comes to cook for them or have unhealthy take-outs. He knew dropping off the maknaes was not an option for the females, because
