"They are coming tomorrow. Treat them nicely because soon, we're going to live together."
You sighed and looked at your father. "Are they going to stay here?"
"Yes, ofcourse." Your father looked at you and noticed that you weren't that happy. "Why?"
"Uh, no. It's just that.. I don't know anything about them." You whispered.
"Don't worry, dear. She is a nice woman and her son is just few years older than you so I'm sure you guys will blend."
You nodded. "Goodnight dad." You said before going upstairs.
You laid on your bed after switching off the light but you couldn't go to sleep. You couldn't stop imagining how awkward it would be when you meet the boy your father mentioned earlier. It was true that you really wanted to have an older brother because you like the thought of having an older brother who protects you but you were born to be the first child and you had no siblings, plus, you didn't know anything about him because both of you had just met once and you forgot that you had met him before.
Your father had mentioned that the boy's father died in a car accident when he was just a small kid, similar like what happened to your mother but the difference was just that the accident happened few years ago. Your father had told the boy about your mother too so he told you not to mention about that anymore.
You forced yourself to sleep and finally you did, before the stupid alarm woke you up at 6 which made you feel like you just slept for few minutes because you usually had a long sleep during holidays. You took a quick shower and changed into some nice clothes.
You hopped downstairs and helped your father to clean your house a bit and bake some cookies. The door bell rang and he quickly told you to put everything in the kitchen and welcome them. The door opened, revealing a woman whom you knew was in her early 40s but still looked like she's 30-ish with a beautiful yellow dress and a boy who looks younger than you who was wearing a black hoodie and shorts. You eyed him with a curious look.

Your father greeted them and placed his arm around the woman's waist and brought her inside, both of you following behind them. Your father sat on the sofa with her and you were confused. You were planning on sitting with your father but there were no space because the sofa was only for two people so you had to sit with the boy on the other sofa which was so awkward because none of you spoke a thing while your parents were talking to each other.
Suddenly your father broke the silence between both of you.
"Hey, why don't any of you start a conversation?"
Both of you stayed quiet and looked down. You bit your bottom lip and played with your fingers while he did the same. Your father chuckled.
"Come, y/n. Help me to get the tea."
"Oh, you don't need to. I would like to have water."
Your father nodded. "But we're gonna get the cookies. Y/n baked them."
The woman looked at you in awe and smiled. You blushed as you followed your father to the kitchen. While checking the cookies in the oven, you decided to ask your father.
"Dad, where's the boy you mentioned yesterday? Does he have an older brother?"
Your father was surprised. "What? No. That boy sitting beside you is Yoonji's one and only son."
"But you told me that he is few years older than me." You knitted your eyebrows.
"Yes he is." And your eyes widened.
When you came back, you couldn't stop staring at the boy who was actually few years older than you. He looked like a baby with squishy cheeks and small body. At first, you guessed that his age was probably 13 or 14.
Seeing that both of you were still not talking, your father whispered to Yoonji and she nodded.
"I'm gonna show you the small garden I mentioned earlier. You told me that you like gardening. I take care of those flowers everyday.."
Then they left both of you in the living room. After a long awkward silence, the boy cleared his throat and placed a hand on his nape.
"Uh, I guess I should introduce myself first because I'm older than you." You were taken aback hearing his soft voice. "My name's Jimin." He offered a hand and you shook his.
"I'm y/n."
"You know, uh, my mom and your dad are going to get married soon.. and we'll be a family."
You nodded and looked away.
"So I hope we can get along and I can be a good brother you always wanted to have."
You smiled. You didn't expect that your father told him everything so that both of you can get closer. You didn't talk much because you were shy when meeting new people. But suddenly he asked.
"Do you like BTS?"
Your eyes sparkled and you nodded excitedly. "I have many posters and photocards in my room. I wanna show you them, let's go!"
"I brought this album with me everywhere I go." He took out the newest album and your eyes widened.
"Oh my, I really want their albums but my father didn't allow me." You said as you flipped through the photobook.
"Well now it's yours too." He smiled warmly and you thanked him.
Since then, both of you became closer and he was very nice and caring towards you. He always made you happy and both of you never argued and ignored each other more than a day because he always apologized first. Actually you didn't really like the idea of having a step mother and brother at first but you didn't expect that everything would turn out to be good. And you were excited too because you were going to have a sister soon.
