The Juveniles

Twenty Five

"Kim Yerim, you're just in time for dinner" Mrs. Kim had called their youngest daughter's attention but she just walked passed through them.

"KIM YERIM COME BACK HERE!" Her dad yelled making her stop. She turned around and everyone on the table was surprised to see her crying.

"What do you want, Dad?" Yeri asked. Tired. Too tired. Emotionally.

"Why are you crying?" He asked.

"Oh, so now you're interested to know what's happening in my poor life?" Yeri asked sarcastically.

"Kim Yerim, that's enough!" Jin interrupted.

"Wow" Yeri scoffed, "Okay, I'll tell you what's going on... Today, I was just asked by my supposedly bestfriend for my blessing so she could date the guy I like. I went home all broken because I knew I never stood any chance against her. I knew that I could never be happy and my little of a life worth then I come home, my dad asking me a dinner only to know that he'll be gone again in the next morning. Well good news dad, I'm used to your routine that I'm even surprised by that you're home. What are you gonna buy me next? A doll to make up for your 5 month absence again? Well guess what Dad, your daighter needs you more than he needs all of those gifts. When was the last time I saw you anyway? Was it two months ago? Oh yeah, it was one of my brother's birthday and engagement party! Oh wait, is he even my brother? Sorry, I couldn't remember. I thought he was just a border in this house. That's what's happening in my life, Dad. Sorry it wasn't that good nor interesting. I'm tired from all of these"

"Would you please excuse me, mom?" Jin, being the eldest wanted to talk to their sister. He's gonna get married anytime soon and he thought that it'd be great if he will be closer to his siblings and act more as a brother to them.

*Knock knock*

"Whoever you are, please go away. I don't want talk to anyone tonight" He heard from the other side of the door but still, he went inside. Typical Yeri, still not used to locking her door.

"Well that was harsh" Jin started.

"Go away Jin. I told you I'm not in the mood" Yeri answered.

"Well if you truly don't want to talk, then why is your door unlocked?" He asked, sarcastically but the youngest did not bother to answer.

"Yeri, I'm sorry if you ever felt that way. The way you felt when Dad was away, when I wasn't really becoming of a brother" Yeri isn't responding but she still listens, "In our life, we have sacrifices to do to make the people of our life happy. Everything might not go exactly as planned and it will hurt you as much as you could imagine but you know, seeing their faces at the end of the day, happy, yyou know that sacrifices are all worth it. Whenever dad sees you eating, enjoying all of the luxuries, I know he's beyond happy even if it took his time away from his kids. When you grow up, you would understand how hard is it to keep up with living"

"I'm sorry to if I was never a brother to you. Yerim, I am your brother. I know I have a lot of things that I haven't done to become one, but please know that I do care about all of you in my heart" Jin continued, "I grew up being distant to the three of you so could respect me as your brother and be the best brother that you have when mom and dad is away. I had to take responsibility. I had to learn everything at a young age because I don't want you to sacrifice your childhood and get to business as early as me. Namjoon, Taehyung, You... God, there were so many times that I could remember how I wanted to join hide and seek, playing under the rain and just talking to you, talking about your crushes, how did your day went, all of those but, I was inside the study room instead. I am not asking you to thank me, but, those are the sacrifices I made to see my siblings free from the stress of business world"
