Any second child knows what it's like being in the shadow of your older sibling. Especially if that older sibling is famous at your school. Terrible timing on my parent's part, making my brother and I have four years between us. Making him a senior and me a freshman. It was hard enough being new to high school, but now I had these huge shoes to fill. Everyone wants me to be Jimin jr. But I just wanted to be Wooyoung. But in high school is picky about being yourself. Popular kids get to be themselves and show their evil nature. And the rest of us have to try to be the popular kids. Ugh, a lose-lose situation.
Another pointless day of school was over, and my brother and I were heading to our bus. As usual, Jimin left me in the dust to go hang out with his friends. I sat up towards the front of the bus. Pulling out my chemistry homework. I wanted to do as much as possible before I got motion sickness. But this bus ride wasn't the same, a new girl got on the bus. Yn, I believe her name was. She was one year older than me. Many freshmen and sophomores had classes together. She just so happens to be in my chemistry block.
I stopped paying attention to Yn and went back to balancing this equation. Mr. Willis, the bus driver, pulled off the school lot. I didn't notice that Yn noticed the movement of the bus since it was moving so slow. She looked too busy with her phone. Then the speed bump came. Everyone in the bust yelled as they find going over the speed bump fun. I, however, had to deal with my bookbag and Yn all over me. Then the second speed bump came, and Yn bounced to the floor. If it was any other day, I would have probably laughed.My papers were all across the bus floor.
Contracting how many germs and gum stains.
"I am so sorry about that," Yn spoke. She was laughing while sitting on the ground. She collected my papers and handed them to me.
"I bet I looked ridiculous."
"No, you're fine."
She sat down beside me. I went back to looking at my chemistry work. The bus ride didn't have any more bumps, and everything was pretty smooth. When we turned on the highway, that's when it started to feel motion sick. I stopped writing and closed my eyes. I don't even know why I was rushing to do my homework on the bus. I didn't have anything else to do when I get home except and do chores. With that logic, I could save my homework.
"Oh, I finished that worksheet if you want the answers." I opened my eyes and saw Yn. She was looking down at the papers and pencil in my hand. I quickly checked Courtney out. She was gorgeous, and she doesn't even look like a sophomore.
"Really? That would be a big help."
"Yeah, I can snap them to you." She pulled out her phone. In all my years of existence, I didn't even have a Snapchat. I never saw the purpose. My friends, San and Hongjoong, weren't on those apps. So it was pointless to have it.
Quick Wooyoung quick.
"My username is boy_park." I watched her slender fingers type on her phone. Like the idiot I was, I said my brother's Jimin's Snapchat. I didn't want to admit to Yn that I didn't have the popular app. I had a chance to interact with an attractive girl, and I didn't want her to think I was a nerd. As expected, Jimin's profile popped up.
"My, aren't you popular?"
I rubbed the back of my neck nervously. No surprise that my brother had a significant snap score. He brags about it all the time.
"Oh Wooyoung, my score is over 50k."
"Oh, Wooyoung, my score just hit 230k."
I was sick of hearing him brag. But it would only be a matter of time before she found out that it was actually Jimin's account and not mine.
"I see you have the same last name as Jimin. Are you guys brothers?"
"Yeah." I rolled my eyes. Yn just laughed.
"I understand. I have an older sister too. You probably know her. Most people call her Solar."
My body reacted faster than my brain. I looked at her. How could she be sisters with Solar? Yn doesn't look mixed at all.
"My parents adopted me from the USA." She explained. "But I understand. I didn't really understand how popular my sister was still I got here."
"I guess that's something we have in common," I replied. Solar and Jimin often ran in the same circle. Jimin was the male version of Solar and vice versa. Popular kids with less than famous siblings. Yn and I talked the rest of the bus ride till it reached my subdivision. At least half of the bus got off at this stop. Courtney and Solar were some of those people.
"Bye Wooyoung, see you tomorrow." She waved to me, walking with Solar. I smiled and waved back. I couldn't wait to tell Hongjoong and San about this. Then I felt a hand on my shoulder.
"Woah! My little brother spitting game at chicks. Since when." Jimin teased. His groups
Jungkook and Taehyung laughed at his joke. I rolled my eyes and pushed his hand off of me.
"I think you hit a sensitive spot Jimin," Jungkook said. That caused me to turn around.
"She's not just some chick. She's a pretty cool girl."
"Don't want to step on your toes, bro. Just a little teasing." Jimin smirked. I mimicked his face and continued walking down the street. Sadly enough, the conversation didn't end there. Jimin kept talking about Courtney. What did I do in my past life for me to deserve this?
"She's actually pretty. I might just have to check her out myself." Jimin said.
An evil smirk crawled across my face. "She's like fifteen idiot. So unless you want to spend the rest of your senior year in jail. I would suggest leaving her alone."
"Fifteen! Hell no!" Taehyung exclaimed. " You guys already know what happened last time. What are they putting in these kids' milk."
Good, that shut them up for a bit. Until he opened his mouth.
"Aww, is Wooyoung growing some balls and marking his territory. Over some Lil bitch." It was all too quick. I didn't even think about what I was doing before I did it.
Jimin was on the ground. Taehyung and Jungkook's mouths were wide open.
"Don't call her that!" I hissed and then ran away. My bookbag bounced up and down on my back as I ran down to our house. Not even stopping to say hello to my mother, I just went straight to my room. My door was locked, and I went underneath the covers. I was tired, and I haven't even done anything yet. Jimin wasn't one to mess with, especially when he gets around his groupies.
His fragile little ego can switch to being even more of an asshole. I didn't even want to think about it anymore. I'll deal with it when I wake up. Although my body was tired, my brain was racing with questions.
"Why did I snap then?"
"Why did Yn bring this energy out of me?"
And scarier.
"What was Jimin going to do to me when he got home?"
