My Brother is an Idol

Chapter 5

Dear Diary,

I normally don't do this kinda crap but something tells me this is going to be the most eventful part of my life and so I feel the need to make a note of the things that happens.

A few days ago I found out I have a brother who I didn't know existed and I'm in Korea to find him and convince him that I'm his sister. But that doesn't seem to be going too well.

You see my brother is an idol and he thinks I'm a crazy fan. He basically hates me. Moreover, I made a fool of myself in front of the guy I like.... Twice!! On a positive note though, for the first time in three years, I made a new friend.

As I closed my diary, which was just a random book lying in my suitcase a few minutes ago, I could hear my stomach rumbling.

Man, I wish I was still in my hotel. I could just order them to bring the food up to my room.

Daniel left the night before and I spent the night in the hotel room. This morning I moved out to my new apartment. It was quite small but fully furnished. I didn't mind staying in a small place. My grandma's house was tiny too.

There was some ramen in my pantry but I was too lazy to cook it myself. I was contemplating to go to some restaurant to have my breakfast, when my phone rang. I saw the caller's ID and immediately a huge smile spread across my face.

"Annyeong Jimin!!" I said cheerfully. We had exchanged our numbers earlier.

"Annyeong Clare. Can we meet now... maybe at the dorm?" He asked.

"Waah, great timing. I'm free but if you don't mind can we meet at the restaurant near you dorm?"

"Sure." He replied.

It took me 10 minutes to get ready and head out. When I reached the restaurant I spotted Jimin already sitting in a corner. I went ahead and joined him and ordered some soup and rice.

"Why did you call me over?" I asked him looking up from my bowl of soup.

"It's about Jungkook. He is still pissed off about what happened yesterday. I still forced him to listen me anyway. I told him everything you told me but it still didn't convince him much. He thinks his family secret got out somehow and since he doesn't know his real parents he finds it hard to believe. But he is curious though, we still have a chance."

"Huh... this is going to be hard, isn't it? Well, Jimin.... There's something I haven't told you yet."

He raised his eyebrows and stuffed his mouth with rice. "What?"

"I told you that my parents died but i didn't tell you how they died."

"Go on."

"Well, remember Jungkook's dad Mr. Park? He found out that my mom hid his son from him and he murdered them in a rage and now he's after me."

Jimin's eyes turned to the size of saucers and his mouth dropped wide open. I could see the chewed up rice in his mouth. I couldn't help but smile even in that situation.

"WHAT???!!! And you only thought of saying it now??!! YAH!! What's there to smile about? How is this amusing to you??!!"

"Chill. Daniel is doing everything he can to keep me safe. And that's the reason why I desperately came looking for Jungkook. But it looks like it's going to be much harder to convince him."

"I have to say this Jungkook."

"NO. It would be right if I did it but I just need one more favour. Can you at least convince him to talk to me?" I said.
