Sehyun

"Wake up your older brother, he is going to be late if he doesn't wake up any time soon." I overheard my father in the kitchen and I walked into my older brother's room, the door wasn't locked and I could easily enter.

I stopped in front of me as I could sense something dangerous for me, I looked down at my feet to confirm. I was right, I almost tripped over a shirt that was thrown on the floor. I picked up the white shirt and placed it on the chair, the one where he sits down to do his homework and I walked towards his bed, where one of his feet is exposed.

I work my fingers around his foot and tickled the sole of his feet, he is very ticklish when people tickle his foot. The foot wriggled around as he is trying to control himself and he couldn't take it anymore, he sat up on the bed and he saw me. "Why are you here, Sehyun?"

"Appa told me to wake you up, you are going to be late very soon," I repeated my father's words to him and he nodded, getting out of his bed to ruffle my hair. I followed him behind his long legs to the bathroom where he immediately pushed me outside. "Stay outside, Sehyun. You need not follow me everywhere, tell Appa that I'm awake and I will be taking the subway on my way to school."

"Got it." And he closes the door shut, I then nodded at his response and I was proud of what I have done today, Sejeong hyung actually woke up the first time that I tickled him, he would normally go back to sleep and I would wake him a few times after that.

I came back to the dining table and my older sister is already finishing up on her breakfast, it is a simple meal of one apple and a slice of bread. "Good morning, SeNa noona..."

"Has your hyung woken up yet? I hope that he doesn't go back to sleep, he has an important tournament today and he has to be in his best condition for his match." My father asked as I took my designated seat at the dining table, it's a chair which is a little taller than all the other chairs in the house. My father bought it especially for me, he said that I will be able to sit down and eat properly with this chair.

"Yes, he woke up already. He didn't give me my morning kiss though." I pouted at the absence of the kiss that my older brother would give me every single morning, the rest of the family has given me their kisses as soon as they see me in the morning.

"Maybe he forgot about it, you can ask for it later when he comes out." My older sister got up from her seat, barely finishing her food. Is she not feeling well? "Appa, can you give me some allowance? I need it to buy a new book, my literature teacher told all of the students to buy one each."

My father took out his money to give it to my sister. "Is this enough for you?" She nodded as she placed the money in her wallet. "Right, I hired a new babysitter and she will be starting work in the afternoon. Be sure to greet her when you see her."

"Again? Appa, aren't you afraid that she might be like the one a few days ago? That last one abused Sehyun even though you paid her a lot for the job."

"No, she isn't being hired by any company, she is on her own and she is our neighbour who moved in next door recently. Please call her by her name, YiYeong ssi or Miss YiYeong would do, even YiYeong Unnie or YiYeong noona would be alright as well."

I grinned, I simply couldn't contain my excitement. "My second mother will be taking care of me!" I can't believe that she is going to come to take care of me for real, I like her a lot and I want to tell her about everything.

"Is she reliable? She sounded very young." SeNa noona raised an eyebrow. "How long is she going to take care of Sehyun for? A month? 2 months?"

"Until she finds a job that she wanted, but until then she will be taking care of the three of you full-time. You are at least 7 years younger than her for your information " My father told the two of us and my older brother comes to the table at this time. "Sejeong, you will be taken care of a babysitter along with the rest of your siblings from now on for at least a month. You don't need to pick up Sehyun from school so often as the babysitter will be doing that."

"What? But I'm a teenager, I don't need a babysitter to take care of me, I can take care of myself." He doesn't like the idea of having our second mother take care of us.

"Why not? She is very kind." I told my older brother and he just shrugged his shoulders, grabbing a slice of bread from the counter. "Hyung, you didn't give me a kiss this morning."

He came closer and gave me a peck on my cheek. "I don't trust any babysitters, I don't care about it as long as they do their job. I'm taking the subway."

"You are not taking the car?" My father asked as he picked me up from the chair and carried me in his arms, it is time for us to leave the house already. SeNa noona is already at the doorstep and she is texting someone on the phone.

"Nope, I'm planning to take the subway from now on. I'm learning to be more independent." My father nodded even though I can see that he is not very happy at that.

I got into the car with my older sister next to me, still typing stuff on her phone. "What are you doing, Noona?"

She seemed rather shocked to see me looking at her phone and she hid it far away from me. "Don't ever think about playing games on my phone, you have the IPad to yourself." She handed me the iPad that my father bought for me to play games.

"Okay..." I clicked on my favourite game and started playing on it. I hope that my sister and brother would like my second mother as I do.
