The morning reached very early today. I don't feel as if I had slept a wink. I woke up at 5:00am and decided to go for a swim but if you ask me why I did so, I don't have any idea.
"Are you afraid that we will pour water on you and that is why you have come to drown yourself?" that voice belonged to Tae who was with Kai.
"I don't think she is that stupid to think that we will not be pouring water on her. It is mandatory. What kind of friends will we be if we don't do that?" Kai said.
"Good morning to you too. I am not afraid of any kind of water you will be pouring on me. I just came to do some laps before preparing for this day." I said.
"Oh, I heard from aunty Boojin that you have never celebrated your birthday." Kai said. They were in their swimming suits and were sited on the beach chairs. I went and sat between them.
"Yeah, I have never understood why people make a big deal about the birthday thing." I said.
"We are celebrities and so we celebrate because our fans celebrate us on our birthdays." Tae said.
"My EXO brothers always remind me that it is my birthday every year." Kai said which made us all laugh.
"I can just imagine. You have always been bad with dates." I said." For me, I have two birthdays so it is never fun. I have the 17th September in my Kenyan passport and the 18th July on my Korean birth certificate."
"That can be confusing. Wait, why July 18th?" Tae asked.
"My mum came back on the day you were born and so they registered me as a Korean citizen on that day. Why do you think that we are called twins from different mothers?" I asked.
"Oh, that is interesting. My mother has never told me that. So you came to the country when you were just ten months old? Tae asked of which I just nodded my head.
"What song are you listening to?" Kai asked as he took my phone and removed the earphones making the music to blast from my phone speakers.
"Back in Kenya, different tribes have their own genre of music. The coast people known as the Mijikenda meaning nine clans have different music. The one I am listening to is called Bango. Mostly done by the Giriama community. They sing it during all their traditional festive, most especially during weddings. They sound like music from the Caribbean. You dance as if you are dancing salsa." I said.
"I like it. You understand what they are saying?" Kai asked.
"Yeah. I stayed there for two years and their tribe has so many Kiswahili words." I said and then removed my towel and dived into the water.
"It is not cold?" Sun woo asked.
"You are up? Come and join me. The water is warm." I shouted.
"Let me go and wake Yeon Jun up. He had challenged me to a swimming competition." He said and ran back to the house. On the sides, Kai was trying to dance to the song MUCHE MUDZO by Ricky Melodies. After some time, Sun woo came back dragging Yeon Jun who was also dragging Myeong along.
"I thought you were calling Yeon Jun only." I said.
"Why should I suffer while Myeong is still warmly tacked in the bed. If it is suffering, let us all die together. We are all the children of the same mother." Yeon Jun said and then Sun woo shouted canon ball before jumping into the water splashing the water to even Tae who was avoiding it at all cost.
"Sun woo, do you have a death wish? Tae shouted.
"Hyung, you can't be serious. How can you be at the swimming pool are and you don't want to get wet." Sun woo shouted.
