Ailee helped me get rid of the gum on my hair by rubbing some ice cube on it.

That night, my mom told me and my sister to dress ourselves fancy because we were invited to a welcome dinner by the family living next door.

I just thought to myself: no matter how beautiful my dress was, my face will still remain unpretty.

"You look pretty!" Ailee said as she helped me fix the ribbon on my dress.

I shook my head, "You're prettier, Ailee."

"Thanks, Boksung. We're both pretty." she grinned.

My sister is not only pretty on the outside, but also on the inside. She had always looked after me.

"Oh my, look at my beautiful twins!" Mom said in a sweet tone as she covered her lips with her palm in admiration.

"It's time to go, kids," Dad motioned us to the door.


So we walked across the narrow road straight towards the neighbor's house.


Dad rang the doorbell and waited for someone to welcome us in.


A kid opened the door, wearing a big smile on his face.





"Welcome, new neighbors!" He said cheerfully.


It was Hoseok.
