Kang Nari
I slip on a pair of black jean shorts and a flowy white tank. I head down to the dining room and see my brother at the table talking to my dad. My mom is just sitting there, staring at her food and slowly eating it.
"Good morning." the maids bow.
I smile and nod at them. I sit down beside my brother and see that there is a smile on his face.
"Good morning dad, mom, and oppa." I smile.
"Good morning Nari." they reply.
I start eating and listen in to my dad and brothers conversation. They're talking about what my brother does on his free time. Does my dad want to know all of a sudden? Or is he trying to pull our family together?
"Nari, what do you do when you're out? It seems like for the last few months you've been out for the whole day and night it seems." he asks.
"I race." I reply.
"Race? Like race cars?" he asks.
I nod and eat a spoonful of rice.
"Ah. That's why all the cars are a little damaged." he smiles.
He laughs and my brother starts laughing along. What was this? Were we a happy family all of a sudden? But my mom has no reaction. Never mind, we're not close to being a happy family.
"What are you all laughing at? There's nothing funny about it. Repairs for the cars are expensive Nari. You should know that." my mom says.
My dad and brother stop laughing and they start eating quickly.
"I'm sorry. I was planning on stopping anyways." I say.
Everyone finishes their breakfast in an awkward atmosphere and we clean up.
"I'll take your dishes dad." I smile.
"Thank you Nari." he smiles.
I take his dishes and hand them to the maid. She puts them in the sink and starts to wash them. We sit at the table and the maids bring us some fruit. We start eating up but then a dish breaks in the kitchen. My mom slams the table and looks inside.
"Be careful! What did you break?" she yells.
"Eunsoo." my dad says.
"You better have not broken the plate that my mother gave me! You're fired if you did!" she shouts.
"Eunsoo!" my dad yells.
My mom falls silent and she looks at my dad.
"Don't raise your voice. Can't you feel the happy atmosphere we had? Why can't you just communicate with us and add to the joy here?" he asks.
She doesn't reply and walks away. Dad shakes his head and sighs.
"Soon." he whispers. Jaehyuk nods and finishes his orange. I get up and bow to them, telling them that I'm going out.
