Eunjin's eyes opened as the sound of multiple text notifications rang in her room in the middle of the night.

She groggily stood up, seeing nothing but the light glow from her phone.

Eunjin rubbed her eyes to get the sleep away and stood up to go grab her phone from her study desk which was opposite from her bed.

As she took it from on top of the desk, she went back and sat on her bed to read the text message.

"Is this Eunjin's phone number? If it isn't sorry to disturb but hey, it's me Changmin."

Eunjin frowned turned off her notifications and didn't bother to read the rest of his messages, as she did so, she checked the time which read 4:23 AM.

She groaned in frustration as her alarm was set on 5:00 AM.

Eunjin stood up and stretched knowing that she can't fall asleep for the remaining of the time so she decided to cook breakfast for her and her parents.

She left her bed unmade and went out the hall to turn on the lights only to see that they were already on.

Panic rose inside of her, her voice straining against her throat wanting to scream for her dad.

As her hand shakily gripped onto a broom that was laying on the side, she saw two dark figures from the kitchen, she also heard the refrigerator opening and closing.

Robbers.

She screamed that loudest that she can making the two figures scream in the process, one of them dropping something and cracking it.

Why is that scream familiar-?

A long silence was heard until she heard her dad speak up.

"My-my eggs."

She dropped the broom and sighed in relief, but as she was about to speak up, another guy came out from the darkness.

Again, anxiety rose in her chest as she held the door handle to her bedroom.

Dad, who the fuck-?

She see's her dad limping out of the kitchen to stand beside the smaller guy, sort of dragging his prosthetic leg.

"Uh, well." Her dad said as he held the guy's shoulder.

"Long story short?" He asked Eunjin.

Eunjin nodded her head, her grip on the door knob loosening.

"He's your brother." Her dad said with a small chuckle.

She slowly looked up to meet the eyes of her "brother" and noticed the same facial structures they had. She was shocked with how she didn't realize it at first but she couldn't really blame herself because who in the world would look at someone and think, "Hey you look like me, we must be siblings."

"I don't know how to break it to you but your uh- birth mom." Her dad said, his eyes wrinkling as he gave her a solemn smile.

"She died- no, she killed herself." Her brother said, his voice soft like his facial structures.

Eunjin didn't know how to respond, frankly, she didn't really care. After her real mother left her dad, she took her brother with her, she never really bonded with her because she left when Eunjin was like 3, and from the stories she heard from her dad, she must've been a terrible person.

"Well that's one way to break it to you." Her dad said.

Eunjin nodded her head, not wanting to say anything.

"I'm Min Seungri, 22." He says as he held his hand out.

Eunjin looked at it skeptically before taking it and lightly shaking it.

"M-min" Eunjin started, her voice stopping itself.

Speak up, he's your fucking brother.

"Min Eunjin, 18." She said in one go, a small laugh escaping her lips as she felt proud of herself.

Her brothers eyes widened, "D-dad did I just peform a miracle? Didn't you say she was mute?" He said in shock.

"A-am I Jesus?" He muttered as he looked at his hands.

"Idiot, if she was mute she wouldn't have shouted a while ago, she's selectively mute, she only talks to people she's comfortable with." Her dad said as he hit Seungri at the back of his head.

"I-uh" Eunjin started.

"It's uncomfortable- to speak, I don't really talk much." Eunjin said, her voice low.

"I don't talk a lot... So it hurts my voice sometimes. That's why I refrain myself... From speaking too much. Plus, I get too shy..." She says as she let out a small laugh.

Her brother, Seungri, went up to her and gave her a small hug. "It's okay, I understand." She slowly hugged back, it was awkward but she let it slide.

"Let's go eat?" Her dad asked from behind Seungri.

"Sure!" Seungri said as Eunjin nodded, breaking the hug.

Eunjin kept pulling at the loose strap of her backpack as she walked down the road.

With the walk to her school being a 15 minute walk, she turned up her volume and quickened her pace.

She walked out of her neighborhood and was at the sidewalk of a busy street, she was bopping out to the chorus of a rap song when someone held her shoulders.

She squealed and as a reflex, she hit them with her fist.

She looked back to see Moon Hyungseo on the floor as he held his arm while Changmin was just looking at him with surprise.

It didn't take long until Changmin started to laugh at a groaning Hyungseo.

Eunjin blushed in embarrassment, a red-ish shade coating her entire face reaching up to her ears.

She turned on her heel and ran as fast as she could, too embarrassed to say anything.

As she ran, she let the rap song "Barcode" drown out her thoughts.

She sighed.

Can this day get any weirder?
