Out Of The Bunker

Chapter 28- My Dear Sister SEO-YOUNG

 Porce says that Blossom should be waking up soon which makes me very happy it feels like forever since I've heard her voice. I know it's only been a week but I miss her. Porce managed to find so cover and tell us to get some sleep I hesitate but Porce convinces me to lie down with her. Xander promises me that he'll watch her for me so I could rest I thank him softly. I watch Xander interact with her as I attempt to sleep he's so gentle with her. After almost three hour of tossing and turning trying not to wake anyone. Finally I walk over to my sister and Xander "Can't sleep?" He questions softly careful not to wake anyone I shake my head in response sliding in the front seat so I can sit. The seats are warm from the heat that surrounds us. "So what was she like when she was younger?"

"Same way she is now at least for as long as I've known her. But you know about that story." He nods probably recalling when I informed the group of our mothers tragic death after Soo-Min got hurt the first time. "She didn't really talk all that much when we met and lived in the bunker. Every once and a while she'd have nightmares but she'd never tell what they were about or why she had them. Most of the time she hardly slept I'm surprised that she ever reaches REM." I sigh wishing that she'd listen to me and take a break from her stress. Live life not everything is about the war, well it kinda is but that's because we've all taken it upon ourselves to end it. If we hadn't we'd just be helpless teenagers doomed to die at the hands of the leaders we've looked up yo so long. Especially for Soo-Min and I given how according to our mom Korea's leader was wise and a good man who she knew at some point she was never that specific with what she told me about her past. Our mother was always very secretive especially around father but I never understood why and now I won't ever know.

"You ok?" Xander asks me suddenly making me snap out of my thoughts about my crazy family. "You make the same face she does when she's thinking." He says looking back down at her dreamily. It's sweet to see how much he cares considering he's a flat out jerk when he's not with her. But I know he cares and that's what matters.

"Yea we get that from our mom." I say smiling down at my little sister sleeping peacefully.

"What was she like?" Xander asks me I look at him confused. Shocked that he'd ask me something like that but once I see the look in his eyes I can tell he's just trying to distract himself so I answer.

"Our Mom was strong I mean she raised me by herself on top of working and making sure we were safe. She was also the kindest and most understanding person I've met. She always knew what to do or to say--"

"So she's a lot like the two of you?" Xander interrupts me. I nod my head side to side before replying looking down at my little sister.

"She's softer than you might believe. Cherry Blossom is exactly like our mother strong but soft." I say softly that's when we hear her voice.

"I told you not to call me that." her raspy voice interrupts.
