Jennie's POV

I was walking home when my phone rang. I could see Chen's picture blinking on the screen. I knew he'll be very concerned about me as it was my first day today at this new school and I was late at getting home. He was my perfect brother. If it had not been him, I would probably still be that little, irritating child that was.

I prepared myself for a long list of questions and picked up the phone.

"Jennie! Why aren't you home yet?"

"Your off-time was 12.00, right?"

"Are you okay?"

"How did your day go?"

"Are you on your way back home?"

"Did something go wrong?"

"Jennie?...Jennie! Why aren't you answering me?"

I sighed loudly for him to hear it. "I'm ok and I'm on my way home!" I told him shortly.

"Okay! Hurry up then. I've been worried sick," he seemed relieved.

"Yeah! I'll be home soon", I told him and hung up.

--------

"I'm home," I said loudly as I changed my shoes at the main door.

"What took you so long?" It was Chen's voice from the kitchen.

"I didn't know that the day was already up" I shouted loudly back at him while making myself comfortable in front of the television. "Wait... are you making Haejangguk?" I ran to the kitchen to see what he was cooking. It surely was Haejangguk! He was sprinkling coriander on the curry. It looked heavenly. He cooks it so well.

I acted cute around him.

"Don't get used to such kinds of treats..." he smiled shyly at me, "...I made it only to cheer you up as it was your first day at school."

"I love you so much for making it for me," I hugged him even though he was pushing me away. I left the kitchen and sat in front of the tele again.

--------

"So how was the day?" Chen asked me while putting more broth on my tender chunks of pork belly.

"It was good," I replied plainly.

"Are you sure it was good? Your expression does not say the same as your mouth," he raised an eyebrow at me. He always knew what was going on in my mind so it was no use hiding it from him.

"I ended up in a fight!" I told him. I was scared of how he would react.

"Fight? Fight! Why?" he asked me, still putting broth in my bowl.

"I don't know... there was a guy who showed me my class. He came to sit with me during recess and she was his girlfriend...," I bursted in front of him.

"So?" He placed my bowl in front of me.

"So! I don't know what was her problem. I don't like that guy...okay he was handsome but I don't like him, so what was the need of coming up like this to me and telling me that I should stay away from her boyfriend," I got heated up.

"That's it?" he said sipping his curry and looking at me unamused.

"Yeah!" I stared at him, "I mean that I'm not even friends with that handsome idiot than what was the purpose of coming to me and saying such shit?"

"Come on Jenn! If it was so unnecessary then why are you so bothered by it?" he tried to calm me down.

"I'm not bothered, I'm just pissed off," I stabbed.

He stayed quiet because he knew that I'd end up crying out of frustration and won't eat my meal. So I started gobbling up and stuffed my mouth with all the pork belly tenders in my bowl. Chen looked at me with the WHY ARE YOU ACTING SO WEIRD look.

"Stress eating!" I rolled my eyes at him. He nodded and I kept stuffing my mouth.

--------

"Go to sleep now Jennie," Chen said while going for a glass of water.

"It's just half an hour left, I'll sleep later," I told him stuffing my mouth with more popcorn. I was watching my favourite Kdrama. And I don't like getting disturbed when I'm doing what I like.

"How long will you stay up? It's already 1.00 am in the morning," he asked me sitting next to me on the couch. I offered him my popcorn but he refused to eat. He stood up and started walking to his room when I didn't reply to him.

"I'm coming in half an hour," I shouted at him.

"Okay..." I heard his feeble, sleepy voice from the room.

The drama ended and I went to sleep in my room. I checked on to Chen before going to my room. He was sleeping so soundly in his bed.

I love my brother!

I closed his room's door and went to mine. I lay in my bed staring at the roof. I was thinking about the handsome player from today. What was his? Mr.Wu? Is was Mr. Wu. That was what the fatso called him. He was a good player. Okay! He was hot besides being a good player. He scared me with those questions. But that laugh at the end when he told me that it was already pack-up time, he took away my heart.

Jennie you can't fall for a guy on the first day of your school!

Tomorrow I'll have to go back but what will I do tomorrow. I hope there won't be any more drama tomorrow. But I don't have any friends at school, what will I do there alone. It's ok not to have friends but I hope there ain't any drama tomorrow. I'm not used to it.

I miss my previous school at Goyang. I missed my friends. I miss Sehun, Luhan and Lalisa. I won't have such friends here.

I picked up my phone and saw many missed calls from Sehun and Luhan. Lalisa had also sent so many text messages asking about my stay in Seoul. These are friends, who don't forget you anywhere you go. I decided to call Luhan. He and Sehun share the same dormitory so I'll be able to FaceTime both of them together at the same time.

It felt so good talking to my best friends. I told them about everything that happened today. They were so good at cheering me up. They make you feel like nothing's wrong at all. That's why I love them.

Next I called Lalisa but she wasn't picking up her phone, it'd probably be dead because I know she always forgets to charge it. How much I missed her! Ok, I'll talk to her tomorrow.

I put my phone aside and tried to sleep. Sleeping is what I've always been best at. I slept soon after I tried to sleep.
