9 Years ago.

"Karu Kim! Get down right now! It's dangerous!" 9 years old Karu heard her mom's angry voice as she tries to reach Marcus kite, that stuck up in the branches of a tree. As Karu try to reach the edge of the kite, suddenly Karu topple from the tree. Her mom and Marcus saw it and Karu start to cry.
"See! I told you it's dangerous and if you let one of the boys do this none of this will happened to you!" While Karu's mom scolded her, Marcus start to cry too.
"Oh? Marcus why are you crying too?"
"Because Karu is and it's all my fault" Karu's mom become more frustrate because of the situation between the two children in front of her.
"Hey! Marcus want to eat ice cream?" a 15 years old boy approach them.
"Thank god, Gray you are here. Kindly look for them for a while, I will get the first aid kit for Karu's wound" Gray nods, he walks towards Karu and pat her back.
"It's okay, don't worry" Gray stroke her back and try to calm her down. Marcus went in front of Karu and pat his head.
"Thank you" Marcus show his bunny smile and Karu nod as a response.
"Karu, Marcus I bought ice cream for you" Both Marcus and Karu looked behind Gray the two kids smile because of Dylan's voice, Marcus older brother. They approach Dylan and grabbed their ice creams.

After 10 years.

I stared the tree in this street, it's been 10 years since that beautiful moment stay in the memories of my childhood.
"Hey! Karu are you tired?" I heard my brother's voice. I remember that I am mad at him for causing a big trouble. He teases me again for buying some lipstick, is that bad to buy it? While I am busy catching him again. I saw our friends at the corner, cheering for Sharp to run faster.
"Will you stop taking his side?!" I stop and said to them. Meet my friends, we grow up in this small town with full of fresh sea foods along with the colorful walls of each house. This place surrounds with mountains while facing the blue ocean, this place is like kingdom for us. We grow up and play well here.

"Karu, you will never beat your brother when it comes to running." Marcus start to tease me.
"Shut up, Marcus! Remember this?" I point out the scar near in my knee, when I fell from the tree, I always love to tease and make him guiltier as a revenge when he always try to tease me.

"Where is Gray? I am already hungry" Yuan complain. The second oldest in the group, 25 years old. He lives on the other street.
"Othello! Would you please stop reading that book?!" I heard Hence, 24 years old shouting at Othello, same age with him, who were busy reading a book.
"I am here, sorry it took so long" we look at Gray Lucas, 26 years old the oldest in the group. He has 2 bags of burgers in both hands along with Min Lee, 22 years old, the baby like face boy who mistakenly as the youngest out of them.
"Karu!" I heard my mom's voice, I look at my wrist watch and I remember it's almost dinner time. It's time to help my mom to cook for dinner.
"Karu?" Sharp said, I faced him again.
"I still not forgive you, I need to help mom to prepare dinner" I stick my tongue out to him, I know he already annoyed. He don't want that attitude from me, because he is the older one between us, he hates my stubbornness and I love that.
"Fine! Don't feed her!" Sharp said and suddenly Gray hands me a burger.
"Too late, my brother" I said to him while waving my burger and walk to our house.
