Mia:

After the incident that happened at the school, I became a little scared. My cousins may seem like normal people but they have a poisonous tongue.

Physical pain and injuries can heal over time but mental injuries don't. And I seem to have them in abundance.

After school, I went straight to my home. I threw my bag somewhere on the floor and dived onto my bed. I closed my head and took a deep breath.

Just when I was trying to calm my nerves, a series of knock sounded on my door and I, instinctively opened my eyes.

"Come in." I said in a somewhat doubtful tone since I didn't know who was at the door.

The door opened and a maid entered my room. After bowing down a little, she told me that my aunt was calling me downstairs.

I went with her to the main hall. There, I saw my Uncle and aunt, sitting on the sofa with a worried expression planted on their face.

"Anneongashaeho! What happened?"
I asked, a little confused.

"Baby, you didn't tell me that you met your cousins at school. Are you alright? Did they hurt you?" My aunt asked me in a worried tone.

"Calm down, no they didn't hurt me and yes I'm alright." I said and placed my hands on her shoulders, squeezing them lightly to ensure her.

She heaved a sigh of relief, "Thank God."

A hand suddenly come on my head, "Are you really okay, child?" My uncle asked.

I nodded my head to which he passed me a smile.

"These people are so annoying! What do they want now?!" My aunt exclaimed loudly.

"I don't know." I shrugged my shoulders in response.

"I don't think you should stay here. I'm sure they can't enter this house but still I feel anxious."

"Don't worry. They can't hurt me."

"You should go somewhere on a vacation but where... " After a pause, "Wait, isn't your school taking you to a camping trip?" My aunt asked.

"How do you know about that?" I asked with my eyebrows furrowed.

"Jee Hee won't shut up about her trip."

I made an 'o' with my mouth in understanding.

"But I'm not going." I replied.

"Why?"

"I don't feel like it."

At that, my uncle and aunt gave me an expression saying 'like-really?'

"I-i mean I'm not feeling well so that's why." I made up an excuse.

"What! Then, I should call a doctor."

My aunt was about to call the doctor when I grabbed her hand, "Wait! No need to call a doctor, I'll feel okay after resting a little bit."
