// we were meant to meet

"Bittersweet oh love, every love is bittersweet...We hurt, we love...", KiKu was singing and swaying her hips to the voice of Lee Hi as she was putting the last plate away. She picked out a cucumber, carrots, the rest of the ingredients she needed for her cucumber salad and started chopping. After giving the salad the last pep, she packed it and packed some cucumber kimchi separate as well.

"EOMMA! I'M DONE! I'M GOING TO MAKE MYSELF READY NOW.", she took her phone and water bottle and went to her room. She was trying to drink a lot of water that day to help her body get better after the alcoholic night before. Since she already took a shower in the morning, KiKu looked for a dress to wear. Walking to her mothers room, she opened her mothers closet.

"What are you looking for?", her mother asked as she was laying on her bed, reading the autobiography of an Indian philosopher.

"Your red checked summer dress you wore last year when we visited Hye Rin Eonnie in Udo.", KiKu answered with her head in the drawer.

"It's in Appa's side.", KiKu quickly found it in her fathers side with a bunch of other dresses of her mother and thanked her. She went back to her room and got ready. Since it was warm and she didn't want to put too much make up on, she only covered some blemishes and put on a brown eyeliner. She curled her eyelashes so it looked like she put on mascara and put on lip balm on her lips. KiKu picked up her white watch and put it on. Brushing her hair and putting them in a low loose ponytail, she picked some streaks by her face out. Taking a red ribbon and tying it around her hairband in bow, KiKu took a last quick glance at her reflection and went to her mother.

"How do I look?", her mother watched her from head to toe and gave her a thumbs up. KiKu smiled and went to the corridor. Taking her mothers red checkered vans out, she quickly put them on and searched for a food bag to put the two side dishes in. After finding it, she put the food inside, took her phone and some emergency money and left the house with a quick goodbye. Her bike was right beside the house-door and she quickly put everything in the basket and went to the address Eunhee texted earlier.

"Eonnie! You've arrived! Come inside!", Eunhee greeted KiKu and she stepped inside their house. It was massive and KiKu heard faint voices but no one was inside the house. Eunhee lead her through the big living room and saw huge open glass doors leading to the garden. She never expected this. The garden was beautiful and huge. On the left side there was a rectangular pool inwhich small children where playing. Next to the pool some older guys were playing soccer. At the right side a bit away from the soccer game on the terrace was a beautiful big grill with a huge garden table next to it. On the terrace were some sitting bags laying too. KiKu was in awe.

"Eunhee-yah, your place is absolutely amazing.", Eunhee began to chuckle at the compliments and brought her friend to her family by the table.

"Hey guys, listen. This is my eonnie I told you all about. KiKu Eonnie, this is eomma, my two imos*, my gomo*, halmeoni, hal-abeoji, keon-eomonie*, oesukmo*, keon-abba*, ssam-choon* and appa. Guys, this Byun KiKu Eonnie.", Eunhee's family greeted KiKu very warmly and they quickly got to know each other. Talking about university life, KiKu's family life and her social life, KiKu quickly felt at ease. She saw it as a good sign that Eunhee's family wanted to know that much.

"Oh, i forgot. I brought some cucumber kimchi and a cucumber salad.", KiKu quickly got it out of the food bag beneath the table and put it onto the table as Eunhee's family was talking about how sweet that was from here.

"Okay, guys. Stop. You guys continue your talks and I'm going to take her to our age of people.", KiKu smiled a last time towards the elders and went with Eunhee.

"Lol, Eunhee. Where are the others actually?", KiKu finally had time to observe the place more in detail as they were walking the three steps down from the terrace to the green gras. There she saw the rest of her friends chilling beside the pool, talking or playing soccer.

"Well, since some of them are friends with my cousins, half of my family already knew them. What a coincidence. Well actually all of them. Mingi oppas family is close friends with my gomo, probably because of the oldest sons being in the same cricket team. I just recently got to know that Jongho's halmeoni and my halmeoni where school friends back when they both lived in Incheon...Well, San oppa and Wooyoung oppa are somehow friends with literally everyone but, like, they are in a friends group with the boys from last night and the group is actually way more huge than I thought, lol. My keon-abbas son, Soonyoung oppa is a part of them, too. So, the male cousins of mine aren't here yet, like usually. You're gonna meat them later on and the smaller children are too much, you can meet them later on, on your own. By the way, I don't know why, but somehow I think we all were meant to meet each other. It would have happened anyways. Oh and my hal-abeoji told us both earlier that he knew your hal-abeoj, before he went abroad. That can't be a coincidence.", While walking to her cousins who were now sitting on the grass, Eunhee answered KiKus question in full detail.

"That's a lot to take in...uff", KiKu stretched her arms as they neared Eunhee's teenager and older cousins.

"KiKu, you took a long time talking to ahjumma.", Wooyoung greeted her with a wave. KiKu slightly waved back and smiled.

"KiKu, you see these two girls. These are my two twin cousins. Both 03-liner. Park Hwe-Rin and Park Hyo Rin.", the two cute brunette girl stood up and bowed politely. They were wearing matching oversized t-shirts which looked cute. "These two are my two eonnie's, Kwon Sooyoung and Park Minyoung.", KiKu's eyes widened as she realized the latter girl from a famous youtube dance studio. "The two idiots that are gaffing at you are my cousins, Kwon Sanha and his dongsaeng Kwon Junha. You two little shit's stop looking so disgusting."

"Sorry, Noona. KiKu noona is just so beautiful.", KiKu started to blush at the small compliment. In a blink of an eye KiKu was growling in pain. No other than San was pushing his thumbs very strongly at the back of her neck.

"CHOI SAN, AISH, AH IT HURTS. IF I LAY MY HANDS ON YOU!", San put his finger away from KiKu's neck but quickly held her arms tight to her body and herself tightly with her back towards his chest to him so she couldn't hurt him.

"Aish, now let me go you dumb-wit......You'll have to let me go eventually."

"Only if you promise not to kill me.", KiKu thought for a a second and agreed. He let her go and the girl quickly began to hit him with full arm power. "I said I wouldn't kill ya but not that I wouldn't hurt ya.", even though KiKu hit as hard as she could with her full body force, San only chuckled, it didn't hurt at all. Instead, KiKu felt pain rush to her arms as she was hurting rather her arms instead of San. Aish, why am I the one hurting now.
