broken promises [hrj]

i never got to read his message since right after i sent it, i was about to board and fly off to seoul. and it's been about 6 hours since we got here, and we're still trying to figure out how to work the internet. it's kinda funny.

"no, dad. it's like this," a stressed sicheng says. i swear he's had enough of my dad trying to work out the internet. though both of them are wrong, you're literally just supposed to flick on the switch.

but i wasn't going to let them know, i'm trying to maximise my time away from xin and also my enjoyment of seeing my dad and brother fight over a stupid thing like this.

"mei, i know you know," mum slowly says trying to hold back a laugh.

i giggle. "shh, let's maximise enjoyment, okay?"

and about a few minutes later, i told them what to do. this resulted me being hated by the both of them for about half an hour.

not that it bothered me—i was happily in my room chatting with xin about seoul and where we'll be meeting when she reaches here tomorrow.
