I'm Yours

Chapter 2 : I'll Find You

The Song Family

"Yawn... What a beautiful day," Mi Na mumbled, stretching her arms as sunlight streamed through the window. She padded over to the glass, gazing outside, her mind lingering on the possibilities of the day. "But why does the exam period have to start on such a remarkable Monday?"

"What time is it now?" she murmured, squinting at the clock on her wall.

Clock: 07:28 AM

"Whoa, this is nuts! I'm gonna be late!" Panic surged through her as she darted around her room, gathering her things for school.

She quickly hopped in the shower and threw on her best outfit, her heart racing as she glanced at the clock again—07:49 AM.

“Ouch! Why didn’t anyone wake me up? Don’t they care?” She frowned, annoyance flaring as she rushed out of her room, bounding down the hallway toward the dining room.

The scene in the dining room was familiar yet comforting. Her mother bustled in the kitchen, cooking breakfast, while her father read the newspaper, engrossed in the latest headlines. Her big brother helped set the table, and her little brother sat across from their father, scribbling away on his homework.

“Mom! Mom!” Mi Na called, barely pausing to catch her breath.

“What?” her mother shouted back from the kitchen, sounding busy yet kind.

“Why didn’t you wake me up at 7:00 AM? I told you my exam started today, and I need to be at school early!” Mi Na huffed, irritation lacing her voice.

“Oh, did you? I must have forgotten,” her mother replied gently, stirring a pot on the stove.

“I did, Mom!” Mi Na emphasized, her voice rising.

She plopped down at the dining table, frustration bubbling over. “Ugh, why do I have to be born into this family? Mom only prioritizes my big brother, and Dad pays attention to my little brother. And me? Their only beautiful daughter? I might as well be invisible!” She sighed, sarcasm dripping from her words.

“If we didn’t care for you, you’d be living in an orphanage or a foster house by now, not comfortably in my house,” her mother shot back, annoyance creeping into her tone.

“And you wouldn’t be able to wear nice clothes or shoes or pay for your tuition with my money,” her father added, still absorbed in his newspaper.

“See? They even gang up on me in my own arguments. Not a single one of them tries to defend me,” Mi Na huffed, crossing her arms.

“Haha! Big sis, you’re hilarious! No matter how many times you complain, it’s still fun to watch,” her little brother chimed in, laughter bubbling from him.

Mi Na glared at him, and he quickly averted his gaze back to his homework.

Her big brother approached, placing a steaming plate of food in front of her. “Don’t worry, my cute little sis. Even if Mom and Dad don’t defend you, I’ll always have your back,” he said, affectionately ruffling her hair.

Mi Na felt a warmth spread through her. “I knew it... only my big brother truly cares for me in this house. Thanks, big bro.” She smiled, making a heart gesture with her fingers.

Her little brother shook his head, muttering, “The live-action drama between the Drama Queen and Drama King begins!”

Crush on you

School Bell Rings... School Bell Rings...

Mi Na and her three friends walked to the cafeteria, their faces a mix of stress and relief after finishing the day’s exams. The atmosphere was hectic, especially for Mi Na. They entered the bustling cafeteria, scanning for a free table.
