"WHAT," my older sister Hyunjoo yells into her phone

"WHAT," my older sister Hyunjoo yells into her phone. I've already moved my phone away from my ear cause I knew how she would react.

"Uh-huh. Shocking. Her name is Kang Somin."

"I can't believe you met a girl. You've never had a real girlfriend."

"Hey, hey. Don't you remember Lee Yeoreum from middle school?"

Hyunjoo is silent for a second. Then she laughs. "Oho, right. I think she broke up with you before she ran out of the house 3 days into your relationship."

"Seeing dad in his gorilla halloween costume was just too much for her to handle. That costume was bomb, she missed out," I giggle at that stupid memory.

Hyunjoo chuckles before taking on a more serious tone again.
"Do you like that Somin girl?"

Do I?
"I mean, she's pretty and nice. That girl is really popular at our uni. We're going on a date next week!"

"How come she's interested in you when she's that popular and you.."

"What in the fuck? I'm at least a 6.15/10, Hyunjoo."

"Just kidding. You don't know her well, so watch out! Don't run after any girl."

"I'm not that desperate yet. We'll see, who knows? I could.. fall in love."

"Yea yea, I get it, you're a hopeless romantic, whatever. Oop, my manager's calling. Take care, Donghyuckie! Don't forget what I said!"

And with that, my sister hangs up.

A few years ago, she moved to Busan after finishing her studies. We talk over the phone a lot, our calls are relatively short: one of us is busy all the time. I miss her a lot. Hopefully she can visit soon.

A really loud shattering noise coming from Renjun's bedroom interrupts my thought session.
I kinda love being in Renjun's apartment, it's small but cute and tidy - he's always been a cleaning fanatic.
"AH," he exclaims and runs into the living room with his phone in one hand.

"What in God's name?"

"We got invited to a party! On Twitter it said 'Engineering Department' too! I was so surprised I dropped Sir Cranberry-"

"You dropped THE Sir Cranberry?!"

Renjun's excited face turns grey. The realization just hit...
"My vase," he starts whining all of a sudden and goes back to his bedroom. I can hear him picking up the porcelain splitters, letting out a quiet sob from time to time. "Sir Cranberry..."

We got the vase at a flea market several years ago. It's shaped like a kitty cat and it's been in his room forever - he calls it one of his most prized possessions.
Of course that dumbass had to kill the kitty...
