Hi, Jimin here—

I'm glad that my birthday ended well! Everyone was present, like relatives, neighbors and such. It was an okay event, everything ended well. What I mean by everything, I meant like every single thing! It wasn't perfect but it was enough to make me feel special for my day. I do apologize that I sound like a giddy kid receiving their favorite LEGO set, but would you even blame me?

Differences? A lot, my father always likes surprising me in various ways. Most noticeable would be the cake he offered, it was really huge, really beautiful. The designs are too pretty to eat to be honest... but do not fret, I ate well throughout the occasion.

But what struck me the most are the gifts, of course! Birthday boy getting his big boy presents...

The gift was indeed surprising but I accepted it nonetheless...

It was shocking though...

To build suspense, which I like the most— I will talk about the people I saw this day. If I still remember... I saw my aunt that didn't bother to show her presence in our estate for almost three years, the far far uncle that I still get nervous around (since he was only around for the money), Holly and her really tall son, my university schoolmates such as Seungkwan, Minho, Baeseok...

Oh who am I kidding... of course I wanted to talk about the presents.

My father told me he's going to remarry a woman.

Well remarriages... are quite new for me actually... I mean, father was desperate for a remarriage since he lost mother during pregnancy. Of course I had to respect it... But something just itches in a wrong way you know? That feeling?

Kind of makes me uncomfortable though.

Curse those K-Dramas I watched!!!

You know those cases?: What if my step mother's only for the money, what if she actually is plotting for father's death to steal his estate from me, what if she's actually a hidden criminal, what if she's—

You know the point...

You know right...

You know?

Anyways... because of that, I also earn another relative.

A step sibling.

Curse those dramas!!!

That's why I feel uncomfortable— like what if— you get the point...

But they look nice. Outside I guess. Who knows.

Who knows...

Oh my dear, I still blame those dramas

Lucky for them, they're quite polite in the first impression, the sibling looks lost though. As if he were experiencing what I am encountering. The heavy feeling of discomfort because of the vast changes, something like that. Well fortunate for me, I already am adjusting to change.

It's still sketchy that my father just told me he's remarrying even though I don't know the woman... As if he was keeping a secret from me. It's really freakily unsettling.

The brother... Oh I wish him good luck. I feel like he won't be close to me yet. Hope he will though! Siblings need to be close anyway.

Maybe the sibling's uncomfortable because he's disabled? I mean, he looks so so uncomfortable when he gets asked about his condition. Poor guy, I really hope I can get close to him. He doesn't seem to be social at all. I mean, he looks really cute, like a person I'd like to protect. He looks really soft yet nervous, I just really hope I can talk to him somehow.

Still uncomfortable though...

I hope I can shrug this feeling off, I should be proud to my father!

Well, future waits. I hope that the Min family gets along with us.
