#1

Hyejin bounced in her seat,she was in a plane heading straight for Seoul and she couldn't contain her excitement for the landing.

"Jin stop bouncing in your seat" her brother scowled.

"JiN sToP boUnCinG iN yOuR seAt" Hyejin mocked him before rolling her eyes.

"Jowoon,YOU stop bouncing on your chick" Hyejin spat back.

Jowoon made a disgusted face to his twin sister's remark.

"I don't have a chick but go off" he crossed his arms, looking away.

"Awww!! Is little Jowoonie upset???" Hyejin said, mushing her brother's cheeks together.

"Don't baby me, I'm the older twin" Jowoon said,still not looking at Hyejin.

"No you aren't. Mom said I'm older by 3 seconds!"

"You're not! She said I was older by 3 seconds!!"

"Umm...I don't think so because-"

"Uhh... excuse me? Sir, ma'am?" a flight attendant put a halt to their argument.

"Oh-uh...yes?" Jowoon replied in a professional tone.

"What can we do for you?" Hyejin inquired.

"You're being a disturbance to the other passengers. This is the first warning before we transfer your seats." the flight attendant gave the twins a forced smile and bowed slightly before leaving.

"This is all your fault" Hyejin pouted.

"My fault? You're the one that started the argument" Jowoon grumbled,this time trying not to make too much noise.

"Whatever" Hyejin muttered under her breath, rolling her eyes.

"Hey,jinnie! Wake up, we're here" Jowoon whisper-shouted in his twin sister's ear.

Hyejin stirred in her sleep,eyes slowly peeling open. Her brother had put a blanket on her when he noticed she fell asleep.

The girl groaned and stood up after her brother.

The pair walked to the front of the plane where they were greeted by a tall flight attendant with big brown eyes and coral lipstick; beside her was the flight attendant who came up to the fourteen year olds a few hours ago.

The twins smiled back at the flight attendants and proceeded to walk out of the plane.

They walked out of the gates and scanned the area until their eyes met a lady wearing a light brown coat, contrasting with her dark brown hair.

"Aunt Seyoung!!!" Hyejin shouted as she and Jowoon ran with their suitcases to their Aunt.

Nam Jaesok, the twins' father, had an extension to his business opportunity and Nam Haneul, their mother, felt like she had to keep her husband company.

And since Jowoon and Hyejin cried a river when they found out they didn't get to go home, their parents decided to let them stay with Haneul's sister, since she lived Seoul.

Seyoung wrapped her arms around her niece and nephew.

Hyejin and Jowoon felt safe in their aunt's arms, they let the warmth take over their bodies with a soft smile.

Seyoung let go of the two,"So,how was life in America?" she asked them.

"It was good" Jowoon answered. He knew it was a dry response, but both the twins were still half asleep and not fully functioning yet.

"That's great kiddo, let's head to the car now" Seyoung said,patting Jowoon on his back.

The twins followed their aunt out the airport and through the parking lot until they arrived at a bright red car with slightly tinted windows.

Seyoung opened the back door,"You kids get in while I put your suitcases in the back" Hyejin nodded and got in the car,to which Jowoon soon followed.

Seyoung got in and closed the car door behind her,"Ready guys?" she said as she gazed at the twins in the mirror.

"Yup" they both said simultaneously.

The car ride wasn't long,it wasn't that short either. It was around an hour and a half. And for that whole hour and a half, Hyejin and Jowoon were both in a deep slumber.

"Wake up kiddos! We're here!" Seyoung said looking back at the twins.

They opened their eyes and looked outside the window to see a medium-sized house painted a light beige with white window frames. Through the windows, all you could see were light grey curtains, concealing the interior of the building.

Hyejin and her brother stepped out of the car, in front of them were their suitcases which their aunt already took out from the back of the car.

The pair walked up a few steps that lead to the porch and waited by the door for Aunt Seyoung.

Seyoung walked up from behind them and unlocked the door for the twins.

As the two stepped inside, they were met with the warm scent of cookies with a faint coffee scent to give the house a nice,warm, homie vibe.

Hyejin ran towards a grey couch and flopped on top of it,"Oh my God!! This thing is so soft!!" she exclaimed.

"Really? Lemme try!" Jowoon flopped on another part of the couch before rolling around in it,"Ok yeah I agree" he said,a smile spreading across his face.

Their aunt laughed,"You guys can go to your room if you'd like. It's upstairs. Second room to the right. The first is the bathroom"

Upon hearing this, Hyejin and her brother trudged up the stairs,pulling their suitcases with them. Seyoung chuckled at their struggle and continued cooking dinner.

Hyejin stopped at the room her aunt directed her to,"Bro I think this is it".

"Huh? This one? Ya sure?" Jowoon stopped right behind his sister.

Hyejin ignored Jowoon's statement and twisted the golden door knob in her hand and pushed the door open.

The girl stepped in the room and immediately marveled at the sight in front of her.

The walls were coated with creme and orange light filtered through the window, painting the whole room in the warm hue of golden hour.

There were two single beds,both on opposite ends of the room. Seyoung couldn't afford a bed at the time, so she just used her and her sister's old beds from their childhood home; and since she didn't have any visitors, she never thought changing them would do anything, so she just kept it that way.

"I'll change them into queen-sized ones later" Seyoung popped her head through the door,interrupting Hyejin's admiration.

"No no it's fine" Jowoon shook his head before plopping himself on the bed in the left side of the room.

"Yeah....but you can still get them,ya know,if you want to" Hyejin continued,laying on the bed of the opposite side.

Their aunt laughed.

"I'll change them next week"

The twins punched their fists in the air,"Yes!" they celebrated.

Seyoung laughed again. She really couldn't get bored with these two,could she?

She told them to unpack their belongings and that she would inform them when dinner was ready.
