Czechoslovakia! I came out of the bathroom after changing my borrowed Yongju shirt to my own clothes and found Junghwa still standing in my room with a face annoyed that I called a baby. "Hows it? Does noona still underestimate me when I've been singing as well?" said Junghwa who had just performed a solo concert in my room when I changed clothes in the bathroom. The 14-year-old boy really didn't accept me calling him "baby" and with his cute, Junghwa whined like a real toddler. Since then, he did not want to come out of my room before I acknowledged this singing talent. "Anyways, noona has to admit it! I'm born singer, you know!" he said he was getting upset when I didn't break his whimper and instead came out of my room when a waiter called us down.
"Who?" yongju's voice standing at the door of my room, made me and Junghwa look at her. Apparently, Yongju heard Junghwa's last words when I opened the door earlier. "Who was born a singer? You you?" yongju asked again, pointing at Junghwa. "Who said? Oppa was born as a singer, not this baby!" I said, deliberately emphasizing the word baby as I pointed at Junghwa who was standing behind me with my thumb. "of course! Thank you for the confession, even if it's a little late!" sahut Yongju who also deliberately made his sister more upset and sure enough, the round-eyed face was even more pouting.
"I swear, I'll prove it to you! Hyung and noona sucks! Move over!" junghwa said, nudging my shoulder to make way for him to pass. Junghwa left me and Yongju sulking. Yongju and I laughed at Junghwa's childish behavior, until Yongju seemed to let out a long sigh. "What's wrong?" tanyaku and Yongju smiled sweetly at me, then looked back at Junghwa's back that was getting further away. "It feels like all this is still like a dream. I have family again. The delusion that always seemed so far away is now in front of my eyes, here" he said, smiling again and clearly a smile of happiness.
I smiled at the always-sweet smile, but the tip of my lips came back down as Yongju said, "That boy is right. He was born a singer. Well, maybe it's too early to admit it, but I'm glad to have a talented sister like her. I'm sure one day the boy will fly high" with a proud smile. "So, oppa likes your baby sister?" I asked as I smiled while looking at Yongju's happy face gently. "No! I just liked his talent," Yongju replied, denying that he was suddenly nervous when he realized I was staring at him. "Come, down. The others are waiting downstairs. Hurry on!" yongju said as he walked quickly like an angry person. "I'm just asking. Why get angry?" my protest followed his steps.

After dinner together, we all sat together in the living room, sharing stories with each other. Even though this afternoon, Junghwa had ushered me around this super spacious house, I was still amazed to see it. "Why is there such a cool house! I was not satisfied to look at him!" I said unconsciously as I re-circulated my gaze to all corners of this family room. Minimalist interior dominated by my favorite monochrome color is really stunning. "Not only is the exterior cool, but the interior is also really cool!" say again. Hearing my words, Junghwa who was sitting next to me immediately turned his face away with a smile plus his two round eyes that looked beautifully sparkling, "noona likes it?" tanyakanya.
I nodded because I liked this house. "Then, now noona has to admit that I'm talented!" junghwa said with his arrogant expression. "Why?" I said cuek. "Because of the entire interior of this house, Junghwa chose it" Seojun said, giving his thumbs up to his sister. "Really?" I said no disbelief as I looked at Junghwa. "Don't I tell you I'm talented! As long as noona knows, I can do anything," Junghwa continued. "If you like him so much, you should also see Junghwa's new villa!" seojun told me. "Villa?" my spoken. "Yes. Junghwa wants to have his own villa to go on holiday without being disturbed by fans and the villa has just been completed" Mr Jeon added. "My black villa!" jonghwa said, smiling proudly.
We were also busy talking about Junghwa's villa which Seojun meant, without realizing Yongju was just quietly watching the three of us. Yongju then remembered that he decided to become a rapper because he wanted to have his own home. "I remembered how I practiced 3 years ago" said Yongju, who finally opened his mouth. We all looked at him. "Until now I still feel like nothing is different. I'm still a rapper from a small town" he continued.
"When I first performed, I performed pro-actively while still an amateur" he said, chuckling to remember. "It must be happy to be performing on such a desirable stage, don't you think, hyung?" tanya Junghwa who also chose to debut as an idol. "You're right, that's when I really felt alive. Although all of this is exhausting, I can endure it because when I see fans seeing me, even if I am sick, their cheers become encouraging for me. Also my place now. Although it is only an apartment, but I am also proud to have it because it is really from my own efforts," replied Yongju.

After a long chat, we parted ways and returned to our rooms. In his room, Yongju turned on his notebook whose screen seemed to be filled with rows of rhymes. As usual, whenever he had free time, either in the dressing room or between shows, he would hold a pen and start writing lyrics, which he would turn into a song. Geck... Geck... Geck... The sound of a knock on the door of Yongju's room stopped the stroke of the pen. He got up and opened his door to see who had been to his room last night.
"What's wrong?" yongju asked as he looked at Seojun who was standing in front of his bedroom door. "Can I come in?" ask Seojun. Yongju turned around, returned to his desk and let Seojun close the door after entering his room. "I just want to apologize if I made you feel uncomfortable" Seojun said hesitantly after Yongju just quietly waited for him to speak. One end of Yongju's lips was pulled upwards, "who said? I feel fine. It seems, it's not me who feels uncomfortable, but Hyung himself because it's wrong to judge me," he said, bluntly.
Seojun fell silent, not knowing what to say in front of Yongju, who was like he could read his mind. "This is how I am. Did something about me change in hyung's eyes?" yongju asked casually, but Seojun was still silent. "Damn, it's still the same!" yongju's return surprised Seojun. "It was supposed to be hyung that changed!" yongju. "I'm changing, you say? Whatchu mean?" ask Seojun who doesn't understand. "Why did you come here and apologize if you still don't trust me?" yongju. "I tell you again, without even changing the name of this family, I'm still a rapper and singer. By being an appa child, I have no interest in fighting over property, the throne, let alone women with hyung. So, don't be afraid I'll snatch it from hyung!" yongju flat said.
"To be honest, I was scared. My Eomma always told me I had to show Appa that I was his best son. But I'm getting scared, I can't prove it. In fact, I was just a child raised with a pen and a book" said Seojun, who stopped the Yongju pen strokes. "You know yourself, my eomma and appa divorced after your appa and eomma met. Since then, I have also grown up without their full affection. Well, even though it looks like your childhood story is more depressing,"
"Honestly, I still blame the presence of your eomma in our lives, plus your surprising presence. I don't know if I can accept you in the hope that you won't take mine again like I used to, which is my happiness with my eomma and appa. But after I thought deeper, it wasn't your fault, nor was it your fault for accidentally doing so, but maybe my eomma was wrong for giving up on her marriage, without considering my existence at that time. So, I really still don't know what to do with you. Even accepting you like this, I have been considered to betray the eomma who convinced me to continue the appa company. So, what do you think I should do?" seojun said softly at the end of his sentence.
For a few minutes, silence was created between the two. Yongju moved straightened his shoulders, then walked towards Seojun. Greb! Yongju hugged Seojun for the first time. While Seojun who did not expect it at all, seemed to try to stabilize his breath that had been restrained. "Stop taking me as a threat! If hyung can't accept me as a sister, he can still think of me as a stranger. Or do you want to sign up as my new fan?" yongju said that he intended to comfort his brother just because of his pity.
"The person I've been watching, now everyone's watching me. So, if hyung becomes my fan, hyung will also be below me. Hows it? Want to be my hyung or my fan?" tanyanya while releasing her embrace. "Originally hyung knew, to get to this point, I was also struggling with a miserable childhood. Struggles over the past 3 years have been like mic doused in blood and sweat. All of that is still very clear" he continued. "I'm not at all interested in exchanging all this hard-earned stuff for all that you have. It's reality!" he said as he walked back to his desk and grabbed the paper he used to write the lyrics.
"If I may know, what is hyung's dream?" ask Yongju. "My dream is to be a rap star that you can't feel, how satisfied I am when I receive the applause of my fans for my work" he continued, pointing out the paper. Yongju smiled, then walked back towards Seojun and patted Seojun's silent shoulder without saying anything. Yongju opened the door of his room. "Hyung, I'm sorry, but it's already night," he said casually.
"Every day I'm used to letting my haters. So, even though hyung does not accept me for hating me, he still has to accept the fact that I have fulfilled my dream. In any case, I was the one who was successful at the age of 20. In other words, I was a success first from you, Hyung. I just hope, hopefully the days that we will go through together in the future, we can become a family with 3 brothers. I was soaked with the blood and sweat I had shed for my dream. After the tears came out, how could I just stop? Take it easy, at all times I will make sure not to lose my integrity to always be myself. I will not treat myself from the beginning as the successor of the Jeon family. So, hyung can go back to hyung's room calmly," Yongju said as he ended with a smile.
Seojun stepped out of the room and Yongju let Seojun's back completely disappear, only to return to his room, but he had just intended to close the door, the door to my room next to his opened. Junghwa came out of my room with me walking behind him while pushing his back. "What's wrong? You guys haven't slept?" asked Yongju who had returned to take her head out from behind the door. "How can I sleep if this baby is forced to sleep together in my room!" my silent voice made Yongju's eyes round, then rushed to help me get Junghwa out of my room.
"What do you mean sleep with Hana?" yongju asked Junghwa. "I'm just upset that noona called me a baby. Shouldn't babies be accompanied by sleep?" junghwa said so infuriatingly. "Baby baby!" stick me again while sticking out my tongue. "Try hyung see, noona did it on purpose!" junghwa's fight with Yongju while pointing at me. "Already, already! Go back to your room!" yongju said as he pulled Junghwa into his room opposite my room. "It seems, you are very happy," Yongju said after he closed the door of Junghwa's room and saw me laughing with satisfaction. "of course! Today, I am satisfied to take my revenge on oppa all this time!" my answer. Yongju's forehead wrinkled. "During this time, oppa always bothered me because oppa was older than me. Now, it's my turn to disturb oppa's sister!" I continued while sticking my tongue out at Yongju as well.
I intended to return to the room after doing so, but Yongju pulled my hand as I turned around to back her. "What?" I asked, facing him again, but Yongju did not answer, only looking to the right and to the left. The cup! Yongju suddenly kissed my lips quickly after making sure there was no one else along the passageway. I, who did not expect it, could only round my eyes perfectly, especially when I saw Junghwa opening the door to his room.
"Hyung, do hyung like noona?" junghwa's question made Yongju twist his body. At once Yongju and I became excited, while Junghwa looked at the two of us with a difficult gaze to interpret. "Haha... What's up with you guys? Why are you two asking the same question today? Hana also asked later that afternoon if I liked you. Of course, I like you both because you are my sister," replied Yongju who was obviously flirting. "I mean, do hyung like noona?" asked Junghwa who immediately made the two of us sculpt. The atmosphere became silent, maybe even just the sound of a sip of saliva me and Yongju could be heard.
Quickly, Junghwa came up to me and the cup! Junghwa did the same thing that Yongju did. "I think I like Noona too. Good nights. Have a nice dream, noona," she said, smiling mischievously, then returning to her room. Me and Yongju were completely frozen made that little boy. After my life returned, I hit Yongju's arm in annoyance, "This is all oppa's fault! Why do not you see the place? Now, oppa's job is to explain everything to the baby!" I snapped before returning to my room.
