1. moving

Packing my stuff for hours I already was tired, how many clothes did I actually pack, and why tf do I own so many clothes? Did I really waste so much on online shopping... gosh I need to make a limit to myself unless I want to become a shopaholic 

Chuckling at my in-head-monologe I dropped myself on my back while groaning, tilting my head to look at the opening door, revealing my older stepbrother.

"you're done packing?" he chuckled as he noticed how messy my room was just now

"I wish I was at least halfway done..." I groaned before gasping calmly and sitting up looking at him with puppy eyes "can u help me~~?"

"sure, but mom called you for dinner, you haven't eaten since yesterday" 

"Fine, I'll do it myself- WAIT REALLY? oh my- Wait for meeee" I laughed as I run after him, trying to keep up, before taking a seat next to mom and him. 

Maybe we weren't a 'real' family, but there was never a bad situation between anyone, maybe at the beginning when I first moved in, I was kind of well how you say it, against calling my brother, and his father my own, but they thought me a lot.

My dad would be proud knowing I moved on and have a happy life, I know it

Afterward, with help, I was ready to move out from the house I had been raised, in and move to a new place along with Ji Changmin yep the one and only, my older step brother. Other than him I also have Bae Jacob, as my brother

"Jacoob-ah can't we just go? I need to make sure I won't oversleep for the collage tomorrow" I chucked packing my two languages inside the car, while I waited for him with the car door open 

"I'm going, can't I say bye to parents now" he chuckled as I realized I haven't said goodbye to them

"fuck- wait here I need to say bye to mom and dad" I rushed inside passing by smiling while shaking his head Sangyeon 

after I said my goodbye and got wished the best, I fall asleep since it was already 8 pm and It'd take a tame before we could make it to the place we'll be staying at 

gosh, Bada is going to be so surprised to know I'm moving to Seoul omg I should ask if we should post these photos from two days ago,  she came a long way just to visit me at my father's death anniversary. 

If I was a man- wait no, I don't need to be a man to do that, well... If only I had feelings for her or she'd like me more than a friend I wouldn't even think twice before dating that idiot since Kim Bada is the best in the entire world, too bad we're cousins.

He was a wise smart person, never once heard a bad word about him, unless it was about carrying too much about others. He used to be a school's vice pres while my mom was a troublemaker. They went to the same college in Seoul, my dad took up economics, physic, and psychology staying up after classes in the library club, working as a volunteer before doing nights shits part-time, and taking afternoon classes

Meanwhile, my mom was a spoiled brat, she took up art and modeling, once she beat a girl who laughed at her friend and fat-shamed her- see not even bad people are that bad, she was about to get jumped after classes by that girl's friends but my dad showed up and hide her. 

Ah their love story never gets boring, he always saved her ass and helped her out as much as he could, while mom paid him back with gifts such as chocolates, she fell for him like no other, yet had some thought it's bad, and tried distracting herself form him... well It would be surprising if it worked, but well, It was normal to hear that she run back to her first real love and decided to start a family at a young age, running away from strict parents and taking up a responsible life. 

while I was smiling at myself, I decided to just call her, she might be busy drawing that art project to type tho. 

"Kim Bada, can you talk now?" 

"ah, Bae Hyena~ is something going on? Are you feeling sad-"

"nono, I just wanted to ask if we should publish these pictures from 2 days ago, I was busy asking you the same day" I chuckled 

"of course! you idiot, I thought you were having problems... aish I almost had a panic attack" she groaned putting something loudly on the table 

"are you still painting the thing for that art project? what was it about again... uh unreachable feelings?" I chuckled as I looked outside the car with some music playing from the radio

"mhm the projects and assignments are begin dumber and dumber, Mrs. Shon should stop drinking after that break up honestly, jeez why won't she just date a younger guy... "

"well, she's 30 after all and been dating 40 years olds... maybe someone in the 20s' wouldn't be that bad huh" I smirked while taking glances at Jacob who was obviously listening to my conversation, so I put Bada on speaker 

"wait don't Jacob Oppa have older friends? You could ask him if any one of them would want a hot 30 yo art teacher- uh well skipping the alcohol problems, she's all fine" she laughed 

"haven't you seen her style? Bada-sshi she's more than fine, I just don't get how she can have such bad taste in man-"

"maybe we should convince her ongoing on a blind date with someone we'll find for her? You're good at these things, you know setting couples up remember when you thought Yurim and Hyunwoon were breaking up after you set them on a blind date?"

"the senior couple from another school building? of course, they were so much pain in the ass"

"they're getting married next year!" she said excited making me choke on the air

"OMG FOR REAL?!"

"Yess! I met them at the mall today when I was buying paint, they asked about you, well, of course, I said you moved to Busan. They wanted you to be at their wedding since you were the one who made them so happy, and realizes so many things" she giggled

"jeez, okay okay, if you're in concerts with them, tell them we should meet up one day, I'd love to attend their wedding"

"yes ma'am"

"Also I should be going soon, you know the school and stuff, besides I got morning run to do, let's just post the photos after we end the call"

"jeez go, you're the exact 50/50 mix of Aunty and Uncle, don't change that too much, stay healthy and look for yourself ~ meet me next time, I miss you okay?" 

"sure, mom, bye-bye" 

"I'm actually glad... Bada is such a great cousin and friend to you" Jacob smiled 

"Yeah... I don't really know what I did to deserve such a pain in the ass like her, but I'm grateful, she's always there for me in the worst" I smiled as I posted the picture with her, I made 2 days ago

"you should go to sleep, we have a few hours since we'll get to the apartment" he chuckled as he leaned for a blanket when we stopped on red lights "here, you won't freeze to death"

"thank you...  you're the best" I giggled as he rolled his eyes

"you're acting as if I never was nice to you, just sleep, good night" he turn on some rnb music while I pulled the death down, so I could sleep more comfortable 

"drive safely, good night"

OKAY, SORRY GUYS I KIND OF WANTED TO START IT OVER, YET THE PLOT WILL STAY PRETTY MUCH THE SAME YET STILL I MIGHT CHANGE A FEW DUMB DETAILS AND HOW I KEPT  THE STORY GOING. I HOPE YOU WON'T GET TOO MAD FOR TAKING IT OFF AND CHANGING COMPLETELY... 🖤✨
