Seol-jin's POV:
Oh my God!  I'm so excited to see Wooseok and Hae-won.  They look so nice!

  They look so nice!

That's Wooseok

And that's Hae-won

And that's Hae-won.

Both of my cousins are younger than me, Wooseok by one year and Hae-won by two.  Uncle Jaehyung isn't himself after aunt Eun Jung died last year of breast cancer.  She was such an amazing person.  I can't believe she would die so young, so much more to experience.  She is missed by all of us!

Jaehyung still has some aspects of his old personality, but he's become quieter and more solemn.  I wish we could turn back time so that we could still have Eun Jung with us.  I wish I could have come to the funeral, but my parents wouldn't let me.  I deeply miss my aunt.

"Seol-jin, you're sleeping in my room," Hae-won tells me. I'm perfectly fine with that since we're both girls. I'd feel safer in Hae-won's room than Wooseok's. Plus if I need to change, I don't want to change in front of Wooseok, a boy. I don't want him to see me in my bra. He doesn't need to see that!

I grab my bags and put them in Hae-won's room.  "Where do I sleep?" I ask.  "There's an extra mattress somewhere," Hae-won explains. "Dad can bring it here later."  "Yeah, that would be great!" I say.

A moment or two later, I realize something: I haven't been practicing for my audition.  I tell Hae-won.  She helps me practice, because the audition is in less than two days.  We do breathing exercises and vocal warmups to exercise my voice.  Because of how fast some of the rapping is, I might run out of breath.  Wooseok comes in later and gives me advice.

Wooseok can actually be really good with advice.  Both of my cousins love music just as much as I do, and that's great!  They can help me with my audition.  I will be using an instrumental while I rap and sing my song, since I don't want to go acapella.

Hae-won has an instrumental version of the song I can use to practice.  I have to remind myself to do it, though.  If I don't remind myself, I will surely forget.  My cousins will coach me when I sing and rap.  I know that they're supporting me with my music.
