What happens when jealousy come in-between family? Dae, Serene and Becca have to face their own hardships. Although they have each other, is sisterhood enough for them to get through tragedy, trials and betrayal?
Tony took Ye-Jun to the barbershop for a haircut and I was at home laying in bed thinking about moving out in the next few weeks. The guilt that I've been feeling has been hard since living here with Tony. He has been a major help with Ye-Jun and they have become very close however, it's not the same without Jin. Taking a deep breath, I pulled the blanket over my head to block out the sunlight beaming from the window. Hearing my cellphone chime, I leaned towards the night stand and saw a text message from Tony.

Before getting out of bed to take a shower, I had to wipe my eyes. Every time I look at Ye-Jun and Tony together, it makes me feel as if I'm betraying Jin. Checking the time, there was something that I needed to do before going to see Dr. Park. Standing in the shower, the hot water runs down my face. Inhaling the steam that filled my lungs, I exhaled slowly. Before stepping out the bathroom, my phone chimed. It was probably Ri reminding me to take my medicine.
When Tony found out that I was taking medication for depression and anxiety, he would always say: "C'mon penguin! It's time to take our medicine." Each morning, he would take his multi vitamin with Ye-Jun to encourage me to keep taking my medicine. I didn't like the side effects that came with antidepressants however, it wasn't extreme. Memory fog and dry mouth were the only side effects that I have experienced once I got used to taking them.
My clothes were in the bedroom and I knew that driving for a few hours would be hard for me so I made sure to put my meds in my purse. On my way to the garage, there was another chime on my phone. Knowing that it was a message from Tony, I didn't want to read it yet. I wanted to be on the highway before traffic starts.
During the long drive, random drops of water falls on the windshield. The temperature dropped and it started to rain. Turning on the windshield wipers, I took the next exit and came to a red light. The sound of pouring rain was soothing. Rolling down the window, the smell of the damp earth was therapeutic. The honk of someone's horn made my eyes shoot open. Inside the car door was soaking wet including my shirt. Driving off, I turned on the heater to warm myself up as I continued on my journey.
Once I arrived, the rain stopped but there were a few dark clouds above me once I parked the car. The moment that I turned off the engine, there was a tightness in my throat and I started to tremble. My heart was pounding in my ears and it was hard for me to breathe. Looking for my purse, I found the pills that were in my purse. Struggling to open the pill bottle, I was finally able to swallow two white tablets with a few gulps of water. Taking a moment to let the hydroxyzine to kick in, I sat in the driver's seat trying to catch my breath. About an hour later, I was finally able to walk up to the building. The smell of fresh cut grass and the small pond that reflected my surroundings caused me to stand at the entrance for a moment before walking in. This will be the first time that I came to see them after all these years.
