Alien Love - JMRF

Chapter 4

* I pulled away. *

IC: I'm glad to be yours, Jonah Marais.

JM: I'm glad you're glad, but there is something I should tell you.

IC: What is it?

JM: Marais isn't my real last name.

IC: It's not?

JM: Nope. Marais is my first middle name. Roth is my other one and Frantzich is my actual last name.

IC: Oh so Marais is like a stage name.

JM: Yep.

IC: Well, I am glad to be yours Jonah Marais Roth Frantzich. My middle name is Cynthia.

JM: That's beautiful.

IC: It's very white. Korean people don't technically have middle names, but my dad's white so he thought I should have one.

JM: Really. What was it like growing up in a mixed family?

IC: Uhm, it was okay. My parents divorced when I was 10 which kinda sucked, but I'm pretty sure my mom always hated my dad. It's hard to explain, but he was always a lot more reckless regarding their line of work.

JM: I'm sorry that you had to deal with that.

IC: It's okay. The other day, I got to see my dad for the first time in a year. He lives in Nevada so it's always nice when he comes to visit.

JM: I bet it was. Do you have any siblings?

IC: I have a younger brother named Adam. He lives with my dad. Enough about me. What about your family?

JM: My family lives in Minnesota which is where I'm from. It's a small little town called Stillwater. I have two sisters and one brother.

IC: That's nice. Do you miss them?

JM: Everyday. It's hard to visit all the time because of my music. You have meetings and songs to write and management that calls all the time. * Jonah's phone started ringing. *

JM: Speaking of which. Can I take this?

IC: Yeah, go ahead. * Jonah answered the phone and then I got a call from my dad. *

IC: Hello?

JW: Hi. Your mother is yelling at me because you won't show up to training. * I walked a bit away from Jonah. *

IC: I don't want to be a superhero, Dad.

JW: I get that, but how do I make her stop? It's all in Korean and I don't really know what she's saying, because she's talking so fast. Can you please come to the bunker and try to calm her down?

IC: No! I'm done with her. She's gonna make me train. I've got more important things to deal with.

JW: Name one thing.

IC: I have to secure a new job to pay my tuition because mom quit for me.

JW: She did what? Who does that?

IC: That's what I'm saying! She wants me to put all my focus into training. I can't even have a boyfriend.

JW: You have a boyfriend?

IC: We've been dating for literally five minutes because he just asked me to be his girlfriend, but yeah. I saved him from a fire that Wildfire got a call for. Mom flew him away before I could get his number.

JW: Well you guys are dating now, so does it matter?

IC: Are you seriously siding with her?

JW: No, I'm just saying that it worked out right?
