One and Only

Chapter 1; Soohoon

     "When are we leaving" I yawn.
"I just...need to finish this assignment" he sighs.
"Then finish it and let's go" I whine.
"Soohoon, give me a second. This question is messing with my head"
"I don't want to spend another second here" I groan. The classroom was empty, and even though it was I could still remember the nauseous feeling that began to stir as I approached the door. Granted my sister was with me, and even though that eased me bit...it wasn't enough to stop me from nervously tripping when walking through the door. After that first moment of screwing up I'd decided I hated it here and wanted to go home, and not the house we were staying in, home. Back in China where I belong. Maybe I should've been at peace being here, this is my actual culture after all...but I hated it. I wasn't sitting in my own classroom, but my brothers. However the identical setup made me nervous just being here.
"I found today pretty fine, what went wrong for you?" he asks, looking up from his paper.
"Zihao, I'll tell you when you get done. I wanna go home" I whimper.  I halfly despised my brother for uprooting my life for his own. Why did I have to move just because he was going to be in a band here? Although I couldn't blame him for not wanting to go through it alone...I just didn't understand it. He doesn't even live with us, he lives in a dorm with the other members. The only time we see each other is in school, or if Zihao wants me to help with lines of afew songs. This is my first day of school, but second week living here. I've made no friends and rely on my sister for any social interaction, which she doesn't have any either. Yongsun already left, not wanting to wait for the both of us. I asked her to but she wasn't having it today. I think the move is the worst on her, since she was in a pretty serious relationship before we were dragged here. Her and her boyfriend decided to break up because of the distance, and it just wouldnt work I guess. Ever since she's been a bit more moody than usual. Zihao sighs and puts the paper in his bag.
"I'll finish it in the dorm. Maybe Hanyu will give me some idea of what to put down..." He sighs. I smile and get up, happy to leave this place.
     As we were leaving the school, me grinning from happiness about being able to finally leave. I march out of the door, swinging my arms and legs happily as Zihao follows behind me.
"This school isn't that bad" Zihao says behind me, I stop and wait for him to catch up.
"I never said it was" I respond. He stops next to me, and intertwine my fingers into his. He smiles at me.
"Aren't you too old to be holding my hand??" He smirks.
"Do you not want me to?" I ask, slowly loosening my grip on his hand. He squeezes my hand and I smile, regaining my grip on his. We start walking towards the house. He'd decided to walk me home everyday even though his dorms were in the opposite direction. Mainly because he knew I was too paranoid to go by myself, and he doesn't like me getting too scared.
"So" he starts with a sigh, breaking the calming silence between us, "I was thinking you and Yongsun could meet some of the guys..."
"I dont know if Yongsun would be particularly happy about meeting anyone right now" I frown.
"I know that break up was hard but frankly, I'm glad its over" he sighs.
"Why?" I ask, scrunching my nose up abit.
"He was...abit off. He seemed like he was controlling her to me" He slightly shrugs. I turn my head slightly and think about it,
"Yea...I guess he kinda did huh?"
"She'll get over him once she finds another boy to drool over" he rolls his eyes, and I let go his hand to hit him on the arm.
"Shes not that easy!" I argue.
"She kind of is. I love the girl, but she has a new crush every day" he says, trying to grab my hand again. I snatch it away and narrow my eyes at him.
"C'mon hon, when was the last time you had a crush on someone?" he asks.
"Uhmm....I think...4 years ago? After he moved" I shrug.
"And how long did you have a crush on him?" He asks, raising an eyebrow.
"....nine years" I mumble, putting my head down.
"mhm...when was the last time Yongsun had a crush?"
"....2 weeks ago"
"how long did that crush last?"
"....3 days...."
"okay, now tell me how many crushes you've had." He says, snatching my hand and holding it again.
"four"
"and how many has she had" he asks, a smirk growing on his face.
"....56"
"oh my god you actually kept track?!" Zihao laughs.
"ITS HARD NOT TO WHEN SHE TALKS ABOUT THEM ALL THE TIME!" I argue, trying to take my hand back. He tightened his grip, not letting me let go. I rolled my eyes and squeezed his hand with all the force I had. He yelped and pulled his hand away. I smile and start walking ahead.
"Are you up for meeting the boys or not?!" He calls.
"Yea, sounds like fun" I call back.
