Gateway to a New Life: BigHit's Girl Group

After the Concert

Malee's POV:
I'm so happy that I get to see my brothers! They're my favorite family members! They don't judge me, they treat me like a bro and not like some doormat, and I can tell that they actually care about me. They love me regardless of my gender. And plus, we like all the same things!

Ananada is my oldest brother, he's 24. He's always tried to protect me, ever since I was born. He was actually the first one to hold me when I was born, I was 4 kilos. After Ananada is Ritthirong, who is 22. We used to play wrestle when I was 8 and he was 9. We also played with race cars and action figures. I accidentally broke his favorite one, the first time I ever saw him cry.

Next is me, then Chalermchai. His age is 14. I would often get us two some take out when we lived together. I know how much that boy likes to eat!  Lastly is my youngest brother, Khemkhaeng, and he's 7.  We did lot of fun things together when I had to take care of him.  I bought him the nerf gun that he really wanted when our mom couldn't afford it.  I made him his favorite meal every night when I had to babysit him, and we had staring contests all the time, which he would always lose. I was the first one to hold him, he weighed 3 kilos.

I cry when I get to see my brothers. "Malee, it's been so long!" Ananada exclaims, giving me a hug. "Ananada, Ritthirong, Chalermchai, Khemkhaeng!" I exclaim. "I miss you guys so much! So how's it been without me around?" "It's different," Chalermchai says. "But we'll get used to it, since we want you to achieve your dreams." "Are you hungry?" I ask Chalermchai. "Yeah," he answers. "I'll buy you guys food when we leave," I say. "Ok," they reply.

"Sissy, can you hold me?" Khemkhaeng asks. "Of course, little bro!" I exclaim. He jumps into my arms. "Mal, do you remember when Mom wasn't home and I covered your face with makeup?" Ritthirong asks. "Yeah," I say. "Good times, good times. Where do you all want to get food?" "Can we go to a local Thai restaurant?" Khemkhaeng asks. "I want to have a little taste of home." "Of course we can!" I exclaim. We go off to the nearest Thai restaurant and talk the whole drive there.

Seol-jin's POV:
I'm excited to see my sister and cousins! I'm so glad they came! Hwa-young is letting us leave with our family or friends, so I'm gonna do that. I love my band mates, but I want to spend time with my family plus Cheol-min. Because of all the work and training we have to do, I don't get to see family all the time.

"SEOL-JIN!!!" Wooseok exclaims. "YOU'RE SO AMAZING!!!" "You were so good up there, cous!" Hae-won exclaims. "Thank you so much!" I reply. "Seol-jin, I've been meaning to tell you," Cheol-min says. "You know that movie I auditioned for?" "Yeah?" I say. "I got the part!" he tells me. "Congratulations!" I say excitedly. "You deserve it so much!" "Yeah," Hae says.

"Way to go, Hot Shot!" Hye-jin says to me. "Thanks, Strawberry Shortcake!" I exclaim. "Why do you call each other that?" Cheol-min asks. "We just have had these nicknames for each other for 10 years," I explain. "Ahh," he says.

"I ordered a whole buffet as a celebration for Seol-jin," Uncle Jaehyung says. "Seol-jin, did you check to make sure it's ok for you to sleep over at our place?" "Yes," I reply. "They're perfectly fine with it." "That means you get to sleep in my room with me and Hye-jin!" Hae-won exclaims. "Yeah!" I exclaim. "Cheol-min sleeps in my room!" Wooseok exclaims. "Ok, little buddy," I say.

"Are you kids ready to go?" Jaehyung asks us.  "Yeah," we say.  "I can't wait to get some food!!!" Wooseok exclaims.  "Me too, Wooseok," I say.  "Let's get food and have random conversations," Cheol-min says.  "I'm 100% in favor for that!" Hye-jin exclaims.  "Let's go!" Jaehyung says.  And we're off.

Chiaki's POV:
I can't believe that they actually came!  My buddies from Street Jams, I mean.  How did they all make it?! Did Mother Hamasaki have something to do with it?! Mother Hamasaki is the owner of the shelter I lived at. Well, one of the owners. The other owner is her husband.
