My Brother Is Kim Jongdae

Tragedy

Two years ago both my parents died. The rest of my family is dead or too drunk to function and take care of me. For the past two years I've been stuck in this orphanage. I don't mind it that much, I'm sort of the mom around here. I'm the oldest one, being seventeen.

None of that matters because today I'm getting adopted by an apparently wealthy and famous family. I have no idea who they are, and I don't really care as long as they give me the necessities for life. I can live anywhere, and I'll survive.

I'm packing my bags with what little clothes I have. I put my two other pairs of converse in my bag, along with my iPod and headphones, zip it up, and walk downstairs.

As soon as I walk downstairs, little Tina runs over to me and latches onto my leg. I manage to pry her off of my leg before bending down to meet her height.

"I DON'T WANT YOU TO GO ZOE!"

She starts crying so I wipe her tears away. By this time more of my other "children" are coming out of the side rooms. These children would include Tiffany, Danny, and Jessica.

"Tina, you know that I can still see you. Ms. Amy has my phone number so she can tell me when you or any of you want me to come visit. You tell her, she'll tell me, and then I will come and visit you."

"Then maybe we could go to the movies or get ice cream" I whispered that part because I know that Ms. Amy wouldn't be very happy to hear that I was promising them something like that.

"Zoey, I heard that"

"Sorry Ms. Amy" I said while standing up and facing her.

When I looked up to face Ms. Amy, I saw these two older people who had two boys with them. The two boys are similar in height, and both have brown hair. The one has very prominent cheek bones and an amazing jawline, while the other has chubbier cheeks. The one with the jawline has black hair, parted down the middle. The one with chubby cheeks has light brown hair, that's a Bieber/bull cut hairstyle. They're both the same height as me, around 5'8". They both look very handsome, but I'm not attracted to them in a significant other type of way.

"Zoey, these are your new parents and sibling"

I'm sure I looked confused, as to why there are two young boys standing there, but Ms. Amy only said "sibling". 

The women bows and I bow in response.

"Nice to meet you ma'am"

"Don't call me ma'am, call me mom. This is my son, Chen, and his boyfriend, Xiumin."

So Chen is the one with the jawline, and Xiumin is the one with chubby cheeks, and their dating, that's so cute.

"I'm Zoey, nice to meet you too." 

I bow slightly to Chen and Xiumin, and they do the same back. My new mom and dad go into the side room with Ms. Amy and leave me, Chen, and Xiumin together. Right as Xiumin was about to say something, Tina pulls on my hand. I look down at her and she just stares down at me. After a while, one of the boys clears their throats and I look back up at them. 

"Is she your sister? Mom said we were only getting one." Chen said, and I don't think he meant to make it seem mean or rude, he seems like a really nice guy. 

"Ummm, no. She's just like my child. She latched onto me since the first day I got here." 

"Oh, okay" 

I felt my phone buzz in my pocket so I took it out and saw that I had a message from Kris. He's one of my internet friends I met a while ago. I don't know much about him, but we just kinda clicked since we first talked.
