"No way you just did that to me!", Kijae shouts loudly as he gives Seungmin a punch in the arm for blasting his car off the bridge, resulting in Kijae losing the game, "I should have never asked you to play with me."

"Ki, it's a game, calm down," I laugh as I walk into the living room with a tray of snacks like crisps, cookies and small bowls of cut up fruit.

"He made me lose my win streak!", he rages as he lays himself down onto the floor while Seungmin was still laughing.
"And you've been playing this game way longer than I have.", Seungmin cackled as he slaps the boys arm, pulling him back up.

I always loved how well Seungmin got along with my siblings, especially with Kijae. He's been like his older brother since the day they met, which was literally a week after Kijae was born..

On the other hand, he's protective of Heejae. When they were younger, he'd always hold her hand while she was learning to go up and down stairs. He'd make sure she wouldn't go near the road when we were playing on the street and whenever he saw a dog nearby, he'd hide Heejae behind him.

As for me, he'd be everything. From being a sweetheart to being a complete menace. He'd share his lunch with me in school whenever I forgot to pack a lunch, and other times he would lock me in a broom closet.

Until this day, he's sometimes a menace to me.

"Mom will be home soon with pizza, so don't fill up on these just yet." I say as I set the tray on the coffee table in front of them. They immediantly fight over who got the bigger cookie. In the end, they both did rock, paper, scissors and Kijae won the big cookie.

"Where's HeeHee?", Kijae mumbles as he takes a bite of the cookie. HeeHee has been Kijae's nickname for Heejae ever since he was young. It was even his first word.. which I'm totally ok about..

"She's spending the night at her friends house to finish a year-end project," I say as I take a seat on the sofa beside Seungmin, leaning on him a bit as I went on my phone.

"When do you plan on getting up tomorrow?", I ask him as I scroll through Instagram, liking each post I saw.
"At about nine since the ceremony is at one," he says as he then looks at me with a frown, "is that too early for you, though?"

"I was planning on getting up at ten, but you do you.", I shrug. Kijae then gets up from his seat and grabs a bowl of fruit.

"I'm going up to my room since my friend is asking me to hop on another game for an event." He says as he then skips up the steps and to his room. I sigh as I get up from the sofa and turn his PS5 off, ejecting the game from the console and putting it in it's case and onto Kijae's long shelf of games.

"And the universe finally lets the two be on their own together," Seungmin laughs as he sets the controllers on the dock, joining me back on the sofa as he grabs a grape from one of the fruit cups. I smile a bit as I grab the TV remote, going onto Netflix and scrolling through the feed as I look for something interesting to watch.

"What are you in the mood for?", I ask. Seungmin shrugs as he leans back into the sofa and wraps an arm around my shoulders.

"I'm in the mood for a laugh," he says as he grabs a fruit bowl and puts it on his lap, feeding me a few pieces while I looked for a good show or movie.
"Young Sheldon it is," I smile as I grab the last apple slice from the bowl, Seungmin frowning.

"I wanted that apple slice, Jae..", he mumbles. I laugh as I break off half of it, passing it to Seungmin who then had a smile on his face.

"You're such a kid, Seung."

"Is that why you always try to occupy me with food and a screen?", he jokes. I nod my head with a proud smile on my face. He scoffs as he pushes me away from him, making me fall onto the floor. "You should never be a babysitter if that's how you're going to take care of them."

"I know how to take care of kids, Seung, I basically helped raise my siblings into the fine kids they are now!"
