Rin let out a deep sigh as she looked over her list of songs. She felt the need to crumble it up and throw it away like all the others she had for the past two days. Tomorrow was Monday, her first day back at school after the first meeting with the rest of the musicians and she was already struggling over everything. 

They were good, scratch that, they were too good.

And she wasn't all that great compared to them. What was she even thinking?! She wanted to find other musicians and here she was over powered and out played by the ones she found. 

Rin crumbled up the paper and tossed it over her shoulder before shoving her face into her hands and grumbling to herself. She dropped her head on her desk in her room and let out another grumble. 

"Why is this so hard?!" she cried out as she surfaced just to look at the time. It was almost midnight, which made her feel even worst. 

"Bet the others don't have any problems like this." She mumbled. 

"Like what?"

Rin spun in her chair to look at the person now standing in her door way. She went silent as she didn't want to say anything to her older brother, Yeong. 

Yeong smirked at his little sister before stepping into her room

Yeong smirked at his little sister before stepping into her room. Casually looking around at the little things she decorated her room with. "Heard mom and dad let you start a little band." He looked down at the small trash bin finding a bunch of papers crumbled up and tossed about. 

He leaned down and picked one up. Opening it he found a list of songs. Not many, just a couple of popular songs at the moment. 

He smirked looking over his shoulder. 

Rin froze when he looked at her. She knew all too well not to trust that stupid smirk on his face. "What do you want?" she gulped hoping he didn't notice, but he did. 

Yeong made his way over to his younger sister and placed the paper on her desk. "Don't get any bright ideas." He warned her. "That little band of yours wont last." He added. 

Rin shrunk into her shoulders as he leaned closer to her. 

"I heard them when they came over the other night... They're way out of your league." He laughed. 

Rin wanted to yell back at him, she wanted to tell him to get out, she wanted to just stand up to him or once. But every time she would get cold feet. She wasn't even sure why, she just knew that she couldn't change who she was or who he was. If she stood up to him he would hit her... Call her names and such. She was tired of him pushing her around, but also too tired to try and defend herself. 

So she looked away to help try and save her the trouble of even looking at him. But Yeong wouldn't let her. He grabbed her face and turned it so their eyes meet. "You're pathetic... No matter what mom and dad say, you're just a whiny little girl who got lucky." He stated quietly.
