I was so stressed out. What do you mean Felix is gonna be sitting next to me on the plane ride, and asking me questions? The scenarios of this popped into my mind at breakfast, and Hyunjin knew what I was thinking about. "Aish, what's wrong with her..?" My dad asks Hyunjin in our native language, Korean, and he shrugs, smirking. "She might just be sleep-deprived or depressed. She's thinking hard about something." I zone back in as I hear his words, getting completely pissed. 

"Yah, don't tell lies to them like that. I'm fine, I just zoned out. I'm not mentally unstable." I get mad as I stare at Hyunjin, finishing my pancakes and putting the plate in the sink. I walk back to my room, thinking about what Haneul said. I clench my fist as Hyunjin goes on a call with someone. Always calling someone or going out somewhere. Aish, it makes me feel bad that I don't drive, I just walk. Or that I'm too young to go out like he does.

I walked by, and I could recognize Sejeong anywhere. Her voice and how Hyunjin switches up, kicks everyone out of the room as soon as they talk. Once it's Sejeong time, there are no interruptions until the last lovey-dovey goodbye they say to each other. I couldn't even walk to throw out the trash when I saw him outside. "Hey, go back inside, nerd." "I'm doing chores fatass.. Literally, mind your own business." He's so self-centered every time he dials up Sejeong. I don't care if he becomes self-centered. Life for Sejeong must be tiring being the therapist in everyone's life, isn't it?

After everything is settled and I walk back inside, Haneul shoots me a text again, and as soon as i saw the world "Nari." I closed the chat out and just yelled so loud even Hyunjin texted me a second after telling me to quiet down. I need a walk, seriously.

I grab my purse and I go back out, with my phone in my hand. "Hey, I'm going on a walk to the store. Need anything?" I lean on Hyunjin's doorframe as he looks at me in his bed, looking lazy. "Go get me some Cheeto puffs. Family sized please." "Jeez, fattie." "You're more fatter, Hana..." 

He smiles while posing for the camera.  "You better pay me some money for your chips." "You're my sister, go get it pleasee." I shake my head, close his door, and walk out to the front door, closing it and locking it behind me. 

"Aish, he's 23 and still doesn't know how to act." I say under my breath, going outside." Cashapp notifies me. '$Hwangghyunjinn has sent you 5$ with a note...' I click on the notification, scrolling to the note. "Here's money for the chips, stupid" Ah, seriously.. I didn't expect him to actually send money. This is great, now I can use it in the cosmetics section of the market.

 I smiled to myself, 5$ was all I needed for the mascara I wanted. Speaking of my outfit though.. I look down and check my outfit out. My outfit wasn't too questionable, but it was a weird combo. Somewhat weird. It was a floral shirt, a small shirt, with a grey jacket and white sweatpants that were weirdly baggy. Way too baggy. Might've been Sejeong's or Haneul's. No, Haneul is more skinnier than me. She fits the K-pop standards. How sad.. I don't fit at all.

I called up Sejeong, and she immediately hung up and texted me.

I close my phone, walking to the store with my head cleared, none of Felix or Nari's petty drama. It still blew my mind how she dared to ruin things for me and her brother. I walked inside, moving to the cosmetics as I looked around, the mascara price went up. Hm. It was exactly 4 dollars. Used to be 3.05. What a scam. I scoff to myself, grabbing it. I have to do this favor for myself because I need to look good.

Sejeong reaches out to me. From my screen, I read her text. "also, I know what happened" " defended your name, i'm n.." "we'll talk later okay hana" "stay safe , hugs and kiss..." All the messages cut off since of how long she likes to keep her messages. Honestly, this is why I like conversing with her. She's always a safe space. I text back "thanks. we'll talk for sure."

 I move quickly, going over to the drinks, looking for the Budlight, walking over to the chips, and grabbing Cheeto puffs for Hyunjin. I walk around, looking for Sprite. I look at the options, moving to the Coke part of the aisle. I grabbed a Coke bottle, walked away, and bumped into someone on accident. I bumped a few items out of their hand, gasping. "Oh, I'm so sorry about that!" I bent down, grabbing the items, but the person bent down too. "Don't worry." His deep voice sent chills down my back. Looking at him, he looks like someone I know. Wait.. Holy shit.. Is that Lee Felix?
