Time Will Reveal

Pilot: The Triplets

The curtains were vigorously slid opened. Sunlight suddenly lit up the room, leaving no corner shadowed. Groans were heard and complaints were thrown, all came from the bundled blankets.

"Wake up losers or we're going to be late for school." Hyunjin uncovered the blankets.

More groans.

"I said WAKE UP LOSERS!!" The eldest screamed at the two lying on the bed now with bodies feeling the morning breeze. With no further response, Hyunjin smirked and started counting down. Upon hearing Hyunjin's counts, the two suddenly jolted awake knowing what was coming. However, before they could move away Hyunjin already did the deed.

"ARGGHHHH! Hyunjin get off!" Hyejoo, the youngest, yelled. "You're crushing my bones Hyunjin, you know I'm not that strong." The middle one, Yerim said while gasping for air. Hyunjin had jumped onto the both of them and have been rolling over them the more they tried to get her off of them.

The more they tried to move Hyunjin, the more pressure she gave them. After a while, they both gave up and thought that if Hyunjin was tired, she'd move on her own. Which she actually did but before she would however; "On one condition though..." she whispered slowly. Hyejoo and Yerim knew what she wanted.

Sighs; "yes, we'll buy you bread." The triumphant feeling she felt was plastered all over her face. She jumped up and posed her signature pose, the "Aeong Pose", which is actually just her showing her fangs and turning her hands into, what she calls tiny paws. In return, all she got were rolling eyes.

"Hehe. Alright then, get up and get dressed. I've made breakfast, so don't take too long. We need to move in a jiffy." Hyunjin said.

"Ugh who even says 'jiffy' anymore? We been knew you a hag." Hyejoo rolled her eyes and stuck out her tongue afterwards towards Hyunjin.

"Uh, hello? I'm only a few minutes older than you." Hyunjin stating the facts like she always does.

"Yeah and that makes all the difference. You're older than me, so that makes you a hag." Hyejoo bolted out of the room snickering and went to the toilet to shower, leaving Yerim behind. Hyunjin looked at Yerim with a look that Yerim can only assume is perplexion. Yerim just shrugged and walked past Hyunjin quietly, leaving Hyunjin baffled.

She took a deep breath and massaged her temples; "Why are my sisters like this?"

"HYEJOOOOOOO!!!" Hyunjin heard Yerim shriek from the direction of the toilet. She rushed towards where they were and to see Yerim soaking wet. Her purple hair dampened and her pyjamas dripping with water. Yerim stood still due to the cold air and the cold water and was able to look between her eldest and youngest sister, frozen.

Hyunjin rushed to fetch a towel and covered Yerim with it, slightly brushing her arms and back to keep her warm. "What were you thinking Hyejoo?"

Hyejoo shrugged. "She came in suddenly and I was holding a hose."

"And that made you want to make her shower outside the toilet?" Hyunjin now trying to dry Yerim's hair so she wouldn't be freezing. 'Ah, she's going to catch a cold if she's like this.' Hyunjin was concerned.

Hyejoo shrugged again and closed the toilet door like things never happened.

"It's okay Hyunjin. I'll just get my other clothes and use the toilet downstairs. The water is warmer there anyways" Yerim said through gritted teeth and shivering lips. Hyunjin nodded and threw her sister a small smile.

Yerim had always been like that, kind-hearted and selfless. An angel - too forgiving. Even if life threw her rocks, she'd pick up the rocks and paint a smiley face on it. Some might say she is the human form of the sun. No one has seen her get angry before. Not even her sisters. But Hyunjin all know too well that Yerim is not the ultimate positive energy that she shows herself to be. Yet, she just lets it be.

Hyunjin trudged behind Yerim, going downstairs with her. While Yerim headed for the showers, Hyunjin went to the kitchen table. She sat down opposite of the table where she laid down Hyejoo's pancakes and Yerim's omelette.

She holds the position of being the eldest and takes good care of her sisters. Without anyone around other than the three of them, Hyunjin had to grow up faster than she expected. She has to. Her sisters rely on her so much even though they are only a few minutes apart but she has the urge to be responsible for all three of them.

But she's happy. She'll be tired; always on her feet but at least she has her sisters with her. As long as they're by her side, she thinks that she'll be able to fight the world.

Hyunjin's thoughts were disturbed by another shriek but this time it was Hyejoo. "Yerim I told you to put away these things! It freaks me out if you leave your rubber roaches lying around!!"

And for the second time that morning, Hyunjin couldn't help but to sigh and tried to mute her sisters' bickering.

"Their breakfasts are cold now."
