"Wear something nice, will you?" May asks as she peeks her head into my room. I frown. "Okay.. May. I got it. Its casual. You and Hans payed for the reservation.." She nods. "Thanks." I smile. She returns the smile. "You're welcome." And she heads out. I look down at my dress choice. My only nice dress, my off the shoulder black dress. I let my hair fall to its short length. I apply a tiny bit of make up and wear my white heels.

I walk out of my room and practically crash into May. My eyes widened at her beautiful dress. She always did have a better figure than me, and a sense of style. Her dress was tight, strap less, that cupped her breast, also black."May-ah! Your dress is breath taking!" I poke her boob. She smacks my hand. "Oh my Gosh Seulgi." She pokes mine. I poke hers back. In time it became a boob poking fight.

"I don't know whether to be weirded out or turned on." I turn and see Hans looking at us. "Ewe. Shut up Hans you perv." He smirks then looks at May. "Dang baby. You look hotter than-" ,"I'm out!" I push pass him and walk down stairs. I wasn't down to listen to him get all goo goo gaga over her, the life of a single person I guess..

The whole way to the restaurant I was anxious, not only was I seeing my parents who practically disowned me, but my twin siblings whom I haven't seen since I was a senior in high school. And that was a long time ago. "Seulgi please lighten up." May says from the front seat of Hans car. I let out a breath and continue to stare out the window. "May.. I don't really feel like going anymore.." I bite my tongue trying not to break down in tears.

"Seulgi.. please.. I know they did you wrong but you have to be the bigger person and stick it out.. believe me, they'll regret all they've done when you prove them wrong." She was right. "Hey.. Seulgi.. I know I don't really have a place to be saying anything but.. I think you're a pretty great person.. and if your parents can't see that.. they're missing out."

I smile at his words. "And I know we don't get along very well but I said it from the bottom of my heart." I peer at him. "Thanks Hans." And for the rest of the ride it's quiet. "Wait so your cousin owns the restaurant?" I ask. I hear him let out a breath. "He's the owner of the numerous restaurants but he doesn't work at this one, he works at the one in Japan." He says. I nod. "So hopefully this one has a nice manager." He adds. I nod as if he could see me and look out the window.

"I honestly don't know why we spent so much time on you, Hana and Jun are our best children ever." My mother rolls her eyes as she scrubs the counter. My eyebrows knit. "But-" , "And to think that both you and May would learn from your older siblings." She interrupts me, followed by a rude chuckle. "I can't believe we raised such a disappointment." She shakes her head as she finally turns and looks at me, her hand fisted as it held the rag she used to clean the counter.

Her hip thrown out, where her fists sat. Her eyes read something else that simmered, maybe guilt.. maybe something that has to do with anger.. I couldn't really understand her eyes that stared so intensely into mine as I stood defenseless. I had already brought a dishonorable presence into my house hold.. speaking up would cause more problems.

"I thought.. I really thought that you would know better... or maybe it's because you're the youngest." She lets out a breath. "The most foolish of them all.." I bite my tongue not wanting to blurt out the words that flooded the back of my throat. I hear the front door slam and I know it's my father. I hang my head low, ready for the scolding of hurtful words. "You're such a dishonor to this family!" He spits.
