Tomorrow was the day my stepmom would visit us with father. I was extremely nervous and unprepared, this was going to be critical.
After mother died, dad couldn't wait to marry another woman. This is what made me rage the most
When mother died I used to be a singer, it really impacted on my career and a year later I ended up moving to America because of my father's business.
My stepmom is really nice and has humor but I don't feel comfortable having her as my mother.
Honestly no one could replace my real mother.
My stepmother has a son and sometimes it gets annoying when she starts comparing us
Do you guys wanna know what's funny?
Her son is Kang Taehyun.
I never expected him to be my step brother. When we found out we were both appalled and unable to express what we were feeling.
Despite everything I am really glad to Taehyun because he has been always on my side. He is understanding and playful.
I wonder if he will attend tomorrow's dinner.

All of a sudden you gasped
"Omg I forgot the owners of the villa are coming tomorrow"
You sighed exhausted
The past few days you barely got any sleep, you worked reaching your limits every single time
Junseok came home after his dance practice he had with the members.
He was already in bed resting
You quickly got up and went to check your son's angelic face resting on the pillow
As you started patting his fluffly dark hair
You looked at his eyes which where peacefully shut.
The imagery made you think of the first time you held him in your arms, he looked small and cute.
His cheeks were full and soft to touch.
Your heart ached seeing how much weight he had lost.
Everyone could see how much you treasured him
You whispered "Good night Junseok" and kissed him on his forhead.
Junseok's Idol life prohibted you from seeing him on a daily basis.
However, you still loved seeing his fans sending him all the love he deserved.
Whenever you saw a hater you couldn't wait to roast them or report them right away.
Taking slow steps, you turned off the lamp that was placed on the wooden table right beside your bed.
The bed was waiting for you to embrace it.
After a long day you fell asleep as soon as you shut your eyes to rest
Next day
Yeonjun went to work the next day whilst You and Junseok went to a cat cafè
You were enjoying the time with Junseok.
Both of you loved cats and adored them but never adopted one because the both of you are clumsy and irresponsable.
The cafe's owner was a dear friend of you.
She used to go to highschool with you and attend the same college as you did
Yumi called you over since she had big news to tell you
While Junseok was taking pictures and selcas for his twitter account, you and your friend were catching up with life
Suddenly your friend changed facial expressions into a more exciting one
"Did you make out in the past days?"
She looked at you smirking
You were surprised by the sudden question
"N-no" you stuttered choking on the hot beverage
Yumi chuckled and patted on your back
"aw cmon Y/N, you should finally get a partner" she looked concerned
"look" she pointed at the boy who was stroking one of their cat's
"Your son is growing up, he needs a parent as father who can talk to him whenever he needs" she said crossing her arms
"But he has me" You blurted out with a low insecure voice
The thoughts of your son hiding something from you made you worried
"You know sometimes there are things that can only be talked through boys" Yumi explained
You were uncertain on what to say
"I don't know..."
Her friend face palmed in disbelief
Changing the subject of the matter you asked
"When are you and Benjamin getting married?"
Yumi beamed "In 3 weeks time hunny.
Right now he is in Berlin because he has to arrange all the prepartions for the wedding."
"Y/N you must attend okay?
We will have your favourite dishes too"
she winked knowing your immense love for food
You loved weddings and the fact that they would serve out your favourite dishes was convincing.
"Sure!" You groaned with excitement
"Mom can we not keep one?" Junseok looked at you with puppy eyes
You were dishearted to say no but there was no other option
"No Junseok, we are not good enough to raise one"
Yumi approached
"Junseok you can keep this!" she beamed
They gave him a cat pass. The cat he got is called Miyuki
The lady spoke " This cat is yours now, it's a gift from us. You can take it with you whenever you want and leave it to us when you are busy" she clarified
Your son stood looking at the pass at loss of words. His mouth morphed into an O
"woah today is really my day" he talked to himself
He looked up and bowed
"Thank you so much auntie, I really don't know how to thank you"
"Why don't you give them a signature and a picture with your new cat?" You spoke in gratitude
"YES OF COURSE!" Junseok yelled in enthusiasm
The two of you said your goodbye's and left the cafè.
It was time for Junseok to go back to his dorm and carry out his scheuldes
As time passed, dinner time started getting closer for you
_________________________________________
The mirror awaited your presence.
The cosmetics on the surface glimmered like jewelery.
Legions of unknown tubes of foundation, mascara, eyeliner, blusher and lipstick were put in rows. Any substance or mixture that was visible, intended to be placed in contact with your face completely changing your appearance.
Your hair was styled in loose curls,
and your earrings dazzled like there was no tomorrow.
The dress you were wearing was covered with coral pink and white flowers.
You took your Velmower lip tint and placed it on your plump lips.
Your look had a dreamy effect.
Your beauty was no joke and you were conscious about it
The guests were arriving at any moment.
You checked yourself on the mirror one last time and cleared your throat telling yourself that everything was going to be fine
As you went down the stairs you catched a glimpse of the man that was going to keep you company this evening.
The more you got closer the more you could see his face staring into your soul
Yeonjun was gazing at you
Your heart skipped a beat, his stare was something you couldn't comprehend.
It made you feel inferior and shy
The maid snapped "Master, Mr Choi arrived"
"Uh oh thank you" he blurted getting out of trance
As you sat down, Yeonjun gave you a reassuring smile.
He got up and headed himself to open the door.
As the door opened two formal figures were revealed.
There was a man with his hair gelled back and his eyes were exactly like his son's. He looked quite cold and unsociable.
The other figure belonged to a woman, she looked gorgeus. There was something about her that was utterly familiar
"Where have I seen her before?" You talked to yourself
As soon as they enetered, the man hugged his son giving him a pat on his back.
He whispered something to Yeonjun's ears making him blush
You were quite confused but you got up and bowed to Mr Choi and Ms Choi while they approached the gigantic table
The man smiled which caught you off guard
"Hi! You must be Choi Y/N" he said
You beamed back "Hello Mr Choi and Ms Choi, it's great to have you here today"
The man chuckled "Y/N there is no reason to be so formal, just call me Kwang-Sun and this is my wife Hana"
You nervously laughed, while Yeonjun told you and his parents to take a seat
"So how did you find yourself living here Y/N?" Ms choi asked curiously
"Great, thank you so much for letting me stay here"
if you managed to come this far it was thanks to this man and woman
"Oh what about Yeonjun? Is he annoying?" the father asked
Yeonjun was eyeing me with the corner of his eye waiting for your response
"No Sir, he is actually really considerate and polite" I blurted out with sincerity
I looked at Yeonjun seeing him sigh in relief under his breath
"That's great then! Hope you guys get along" he wished
The rest of the dinner was about Kwang-Sun's business and how Yeonjun would conquer it after marriage
Right marriage
your mind wonderd what kind of girl he was intrested in
You never saw him being interested in any girl until now...
what if he's gay?
You questioned yourself
You tried to push these thoughts away and finish off your dinner in silence
"Y/N I have something for you" the woman claimed with a sweet voice
"Oh you shouldn't have Hana" you said smiling at the pandora necklace she had gifted you
"Yeonjun why don't you put it on her" she winked
"H-huh? Oh yes sure" he replied stuttering
Seriously what was on his mind today he's been acting so weird since the dinner started
"Y/N can you slightly move your hair" he asked focusing on the necklace
"Yes.." you felt embarassed since you never had experienced something like this before
This only happens in movies and dramas you thought
Yeonjun sealed the necklace and uttered "done"
"Y/N it really suits you!" Ms choi claimed with a grin
Soon the dinner ended and it was time for them to say goodbye
"Y/N thank you for taking care of my son, he had been skipping meals and I didn't know what to do. Thanks to you he looks much healthier now" the woman expressed with appreciation
"Ah don't mention it!" you said beaming
"See you soon Y/N, Yeonjun I'll call you later" his father's voice echoed in the long starry night
"Sure dad" yeonjun answered
_________________________________________
The two of you stood in the stoic night looking at the view that could've been seen from the huge balcony
The moon was a warm milky glow in the sky, as if the sight of it could become a song in the eyes of anyone willing to raise their head upward.
"Y/N you look really pretty today" Yeonjun said looking at the colourful houses wich were displayed in front of him
The wind brushed against your hair and your face flushed in pink was visible now
Your heart was accelerating, you couldn't explain what it was but it didn't seem to stop
"Thank you...you too" you blurted out in a much lower tone
"Do I?"
This time he was facing you
His face was a few centimers away from you
He was too close to your face
Your eyes were fonding into his black iris and viceversa
Both of you analysed each others face.
None of you spoke a word, it felt as if time had stopped for the both of you, everything became blurry and nothing seemed to be corrupting the two of you
Yeonjun was about to say something when a loud thud made the both of you jump
"Ah, that scared the shit out of me" yeonjun swore under his breath
You escaped a laugh
"Hahahahhaha it's just a pigeon" you said pointing at the living thing
"Stop it's not funny" Yeonjun claimed pouting
You chuckled "Sure~"
It didn't take long for Yeonjun to join in and laugh
The night ended with the both of you giggling at each other and strengthening the growing bond that was creating between you and yeonjun
