"Sis! Yoonie!" Hana snapped me out of memory lane and brought me back to the present.

"Sorry. Something came to my mind." I said softly, while looking out the window.

"Don't listen to them, sis. They don't know the full story behind this. Their fans just assumed those things. Just ignore it, okay?" She used one of hands to hold my hand and the other was still on the steering wheel, while eyes still on the road. I just nodded even though I did the exact opposite. 'Am I ugly?', 'Does Seokjin think that IM ugly? Is that why he's always with other girls?' These thoughts circled around my head until we reached Mr. and Mrs. Kim's house.

The house was huge. It looked like a mansion. Hana knocked on the door and we waited for a good minute, until someone opened the door. It was a maid. She looked like she was in her early fortys.

She quickly bowed and greeted herself," Annyeonghaseyo! I'm Mina. Mr. and Mrs. Kim are in the backyard porch. I will escort you there." She moved to the side, so we could walk in. The inside of the house is so spacious and luxurious. I swear, this house could fit like a thousand people. She closed the door and went in front of us.

"Would like me to take your bag, miss?" She asked me, smiling.

"No, thank you." I politely declined. She nodded and turned to Hana.

"Would you like me to take your bag, miss?" She repeated, doing the same actions. Hana shook her head and Mina nodded. Then, she started to take us to their backyard porch.

We went to the back of the house and saw a glass door. Mina went up to it and slid it to the side. She went outside and after a short moment, we followed her.

"Mr. and Mrs. Kim, your guests have arrived. "She informed the couple that was sitting on a table with five chairs, two that was already taken by them. There was a big yellow and white umbrella underneath them to protect them from the sun.

They immediately turned their heads as soon as Mina said 'guests'. They saw me and Hana standing next to her. "Hello, ladies." She stood up from her chair and greeted us with a hug. "How are you guys?" She broke the hug and took one of me and my sister's hands.

"Good, Mrs. Kim." I responded, smiling brightly. Ever since I met Seokjin's eomma, she's been nothing, but nice and caring to me and my family. I really like her.

"Oh, please, we're going to be family soon. Call me eomma." She squeezed my hand and then looked at Hana. "Even you." She smiled at her which resulted Hana to nod.

"Is eomma here yet?" I asked her, making her look back at me.

"She called just a few minutes ago, saying that her and your appa had to attend a business meeting in Houston, Texas. She apologizes." She let go of our hands as she said that. I sighed heavily at that as expected. When duty calls, mother and father answer it. It has been like that since day one.

"But," Mrs. K - I mean eomma added." You guys still have me though!" She said cheerily. I couldn't help, but smile at her enthusiasm. Hana and I nodded immediately.

"Come and eat breakfast with us." She gestured us to sit and we did.

"Hello, Mr. Kim." Hana greeted him with a smile as she was sitting down. "Please, I prefer appa." He insisted and she just nodded at his statement.
