A new family

I'm gonna tell you a little secret

They drove to their destination.

Minngyu: This is a beatiful neighborhood! /he said with a big smile on his face/

Britney: It's here. You can stop there. /she pointed the house and they parked the car/ Kids, you stay in the car. /they nodded/

Britney and John got out of the car and went toward the lady who was watering her flowers.

Britney: Hello. /she smiled/ 

??: Welcome. How can i help you?

Britney: You are Tiffany Choi, right? The owner of the house?

Tiffany: Yes, i'm Tiffany Choi but i'm not the seller i'm just a neighbor. /they shaked hands/ I talked with you on the phone, right Kris? 

John: No i'm John. /Britney looked at John/ 

Tiffany: John? I remember you as a Kris but nevermind. When there are too many people wanting to buy the house - you get confused. /she laughed/ As i told on the phone this house is too big for 2 people. So i think that it's not suitable for you. 

John: Great, we will look somewhere else. 

Britney: /she laughed/ I think she misunderstood, right honey? We are a big family. /she looked at them surprised/ Kids come here. /she called them/

Tiffany: Kids?

Britney: Yes, our kids. /they got off the car/

Tiffany: Wow, you are really a big family. That means that the house is suitable for you. Come and let me show you the house. /they went/ This way.

John: /whispered to Britney/ What are you doing? 

Britney: Look, if we wanna get this house we have to make her believe that we are a real family. 

John: What? So we're gonna act? 

Britney: Just smile. You're my husband. Okay? 

John: Look, i can't act. 

Britney: You have to. C'mon. /she took him to the house/

Tiffany unlocked the door. 

Tiffany: Here, check the house out. 

Minngyu: Great, it's just great. /he said with joy/ 

Sarang: It's amazing!

Britney: Oh, it already has a furniture. 

Tiffany: Yes, and it's brand new. It was written on the brochure. Didn't you notice?

Britney: Of course, of course. I just didn't expect it to be that great.

Jimin: I prefer my house. /everyone looked at him/

Tiffany: Your house? 

Britney: He meant that he wants it to be his own house. /she quickly made up a lie/

Tiffany: Oh, okay. Let's move on. As you can see this is the living room. Outside there's a garden too. On the left side there is a closed winter garden. There /she pointed upstairs/ we have a beautiful bathroom. As you can see everything is new. /her phone rung/ Excuse me. Hello. /she went to talk/

Britney: Kids, come here. Now listen to me carefully. Until this lady leaves you are my children and i'm your mother, okay? 

Minngyu: But i don't have a mother. /Britney looked at John and he made a sad face/ 

Britney: Okay, i'm sorry honey. But this is just a game, okay

Sarang:  Game? What happenes if we win? /she asked/

Britney: We will win the house. /she smiled/ So you understood, right. You two are siblings. /they nodded/

Jimin: I think that we should give up. If this woman has a little brain in her head she would understand that we are not siblings. /John nodded/

Seulgi: How would she find out? /she laughed/ 

Jimin: She'll look at me then she'll look at you and she'll figure it out. 

Seulgi: If we think about how nasty you are, yeah she'll figure it out. /Jimin mimicked her talking/ Stop it!

Britney: Hey, stop it. /Tiffany came/

Tiffany: Excuse me once again. So yeah, if you want let me show you upstairs. 

John: Great. 

They went upstairs.

Tiffany: So, we have 4 big rooms. And two people will have to share one room. You decide those two little humans together or those teenagers together. /Jimin looked at her/

Jimin: There's no way i'm sharing my room.

Seulgi: Me neither. I don't wanna share my room with you, too.

Britney: They will decide that later. Let's check the other rooms. /she pulled her outside the room/

Seulgi: Do you think that you're the king here? "There's no way i'm sharing my room." /she mimicked him/ 

Jimin: Wait a minute, i'm thinking. First of all, i'm too handsome. /she laughed/ Let's not forget the charisma. And i have a bonus - i'm too y. I'm not talking about my intelligence and humor at all because you will fall on the ground. /she rolled her eyes/ 

Seulgi: Let me tell you something. Someone has lied to you so badly. You are the most unattractive person i have ever seen. You are an idiot.

Jimin: Every girl that likes me says that. /he smiled/

Seulgi: Sorry, you're not my type. /she turned her back to leave/

Jimin: Why?? /she turned back/ I think that i have a very positive energy. /she rolled her eyes and left/ 

In the other room the kids were jumping on the bed. 

John: Kids, stop. You're gonna hurt yourselves. 

Tiffany: They liked the house i assume. 

John: I would say they fell in love with it.

Minngyu: She's my sister Sarang. 

Tiffany: I know. 

Minngyu: I have a brother, sister, dad and my mum. /everyone looked at Tiffany/

John: So how many are we?

Minngyu: 6.

John: His math is a little off, so we are teaching him that way. /he lied/

Tiffany: I understand. Let's go down. /they went downstairs/ So as i was saying this place is amazing. We have gathering at the weekends. We do barbeques and have a lot of fun. I'm sure you'll like it.

Britney: Of course. /she smiled/

Tiffany: There's a fitness too. So what are you saying?

Britney: We're buying it. /John looked shocked/ 

Tiffany: So quickly? We didn't talk about the money yet.

Britney: It's not a problem we really loved the house. But as you mentioned it - how much is it?

Tiffany: 10000 dolars. /John widened his eyes and everyone froze/

John: Can't we talk with the owner of the house? Maybe he can make a change. 

Tiffany: You can't because unfortunately the owner is in Germany. He left the house on my cares until someone buys it.

John: Okay than. Let's see somewhere else. 

Britney: No! We don't need to do that. The kids really loved the house, right? Sarang? Minngyu?

Sarang: I really loved it.

Minngyu: Me too. /John looked pissed/

Sarang: I think that my dad would have loved it too. /everyone froze/

Tiffany: What do you mean? Would have loved it? /they looked at each other/

John: She's not good at English. She messes up sometimes. Darling, it's not "would have loved". I'm here. What we say - My dad loved it too. 

Sarang: My dad loved it too. /Tiffany smiled/

Tiffany: So .. 

Everyone looked at John with smiling eyes.

John: Okay, than. We are buying it.

Tiffany: What a wonderful decision. You can move here in a week. /everyone smiled widely/

Britney: We can't. I mean a week it's too late. We have to move in now.

Tiffany: Why now? I mean by now - when?

Britney: Today. /Tiffany looked confused/

Tiffany: Today?! Why are you in such a hurry? Did something happen to your house?

Jimin and Seulgi talked at the same time.

Seulgi/Jimin: Thief/Fire.

Tiffany: What?

John: Um, there was a thief that set our house on fire. 

Britney: Our furniture is nowhere to be found. Actually right now we are homeless. If you could help us, we would be really happy. /everyone made sad faces/

Tiffany: Okay, than. I'm so sorry. You can move here now. But there's no electricity.

Jimin: Electricity is not a problem to us. We brought it. /Seulgi rolled her eyes/

Seulgi: Too funny. /she said sarcastically/

Tiffany: What do you mean? 

Everyone laughed.

Britney: I have a really humerous boy. 

Tiffany's phone rung.

Tiffany: Excuse me. I have to answer that. Hello.

Seulgi looked pissed at Jimin.

John: Did you found a way to give all these money? If you're trusting in me i don't have a cent. 

Britney: Okay, okay. Calm down. I have some savings. They will make it.

John: At least we should have found somewhere cheaper. God ..

Britney: No we couldn't have found somewhere cheaper it has to be this house! Look, my friend noted everything on this notebook. And here he wrote find the red house.

John: Where's the red house?

Britney: I don't have an idea.

Minngyu: Dad, i'm getting scared.

John: I know son. But please control yourself. We don't have to worry about you too, right? 

Jimin: Police is coming. They found us.

Britney: Police? /she sounded scared/ Come here quickly.

Police: Hello. I'm Lee Sung Jun. /everyone looked scared/ 

Tiffany: He's my husband. /Britney smiled with relief/

Britney: Amazing.

John: So, you're a police man, right? /they shaked hands/

Sungjun: Yes. That's right. I wanted to greet our new neighboors. /he smiled/

John: We didn't know that the police is earning so much money.

Sungjun: I wish it was true. It's my grandpa's house. I Inherited it. There's no way we are staying in a place like this with my earnings. /he laughed/

Tiffany: /coughed on purpose/ Yes, that's right.

Sungjun: Tiffany told me that you wanted to move in now. 

Britney: Yes. 

Sungjun: But there's a little problem with the electric panel. I'll fix it in no time.

Britney: That's great. /he left to check the panel/

Tiffany: I'm not saying this because he's my husband but he's a very talanted man. He can do everything and can fix everything. /they went outside/ So yeah, we will be really close so if there's a problem we are always here.

Britney smiled and John cleaned his glasses. Than Britney pulled him.

Britney: We have such nice neighboors, right honey?

John: Yea, you're right. 

Tiffany: Oh and by the way there's a school nearby. All the kids from our neighborhood are going there. So you could want to send your kids there too, i suppose.

Britney: We didn't think about that yet, but we would be really happy if you could help us with this too.  /John looked shocked/

Tiffany: Of course.

??: MUM?! Where are you? I've been waiting for you for about 2 hours!

Tiffany: Kids, come here. /they went downstairs/ Come and meet with our new neighbors. This is my girl Scarlett. 

Britney: Hey. /Scarlett kept playing on her phone/ 

Tiffany: Say hi!

Scarlett: Hello. /she shaked hands with Britney withouth lifting her head up/

Britney: Kids, come here. There are new friends for you.

Tiffany: My son, Jack. /he looked extremely pissed/

Britney: Those are Minngyu and Sarang. /Seulgi and Jimin came/ This is my big girl Seulgi. /she tried to shake hands with Scarlett but couldn't/ And this is 

Jimin: Jimin. /he smiled/

Scarlett: Jimin? Nice to meet you Jimin. /they shaked hands and Seulgi looked really pissed/

Jimin and Scarlett went inside.

Scarlett: Do you have a phone?

Jimin: Yes, but i need it. /he smiled/

Scarlett: I mean your phone number sweetie. /Seulgi watched them from behind and Jimin saw her/

Jimin: I don't like talking on the phone that much, i like when i'm talking to look that person in his eyes. /Scarlett smiled and Seulgi got really jealous.

She knew that Jimin made it on purpose. And tried to walk away.

Jimin: /pulled her into the conversation/ We have such sweet neighbors right, sister? /he laughed/

Seulgi: Don't do that. /she smiled/ I said don't do that you're pissing me off! /and suddenly Sungjun was hit by the electricity/

Seulgi rushed to see what happened.

Seulgi: Oh no. 

Britney looked at her.

John: Are you okay? /he helped him to get up/

Sungjun: I'm fine. I'm fine. It hit me hard. I couldn't understand how that happened. I was doing everything right.

Britney: Bad luck.

Seulgi came and John looked at her angry.

Britney: /whispered to her/ What are you doing? 

Sungjun: Let me finish it.

John: Oh no. We can stay a few days without electricity it's not a problem for us.

Tiffany: I can bring you something if you want.

Britney: No, no everything's fine. Go home. Thank you so much.

Seulgi looked really worried. Scarlett made a seducing look to Jimin while leaving and he ignored her.

Britney: Let's go inside now. Quickly. /everyone got inside/

John: We made it through.

Jimin looked worried too.

John: Seulgi you should be more careful. If you can.

Seulgi: I'm so sorry. It happenes just like that. I'm not doing it on purpose. 

Britney: Just stop John.

John: I'm not doing anything. I'm just saying that sooner or later they are gonna catch us. For god's sake just look around yourself. Are we a family? Who could believe us? Or for how long? 

Britney: I don't have another chance.

John: Okay, let's forget everything. Let's say we didnt got caught. The electricity didn't blow up or objects didn't fly. Than? Money? We have to find a job. Withouth giving our ID cards how are gonna find jobs? Than these kids gotta go to school. /Jimin jumped/ We are a normal family after all. /he said with sarcasm/

Jimin: Where did school come up from? 

Seulgi: What are you gonna do? You're gonna run from the police and live on the streets all of your life? /he smiled and she mimicked him/

John: See? Look Britney, i understand you. I'm also supporting you. But someone's gotta sit and think about what are we doing. /everyone looked speechles/

Sarang started listening to everyone's mind.

John: "We gotta end this here." 

Britney: "I can't make anyone stay here because of me. They are right."

Seulgi: "It's because of me. It's my fault. Maybe if i leave they're gonna calm down. I'm the only one that can't control her powers." 

Jimin: "School popped up now. I'm done with this."

Minngyu: "What will happen now? Are we leaving?"

Sarang left.

Britney: Look, everyone. I know that everything we are doing now seems pointless or seems even crazy. But we have to do this. If i had another chance to find my child /John looked at her/ i mean if i had anything else in my hands i wouldn't want this from you. /she almost cried/ But i don't have another chance. I don't know where she is, i don't know what she's doing, i don't know if they are doing something to her. I can't stop thinking about her even for a second. All i want from you is just a chance. /everyone looked sad at her/ Please. Help me find my daughter. You saw how far this men could go. Right? Your lifes are in danger too. I mean you could be at least in safe here. I don't know .. /she started crying and turned her back/ 

Seulgi: I don't mind. I can do everything as you wish. /Britney turned/ I don't have anything to loose. 

Britney hugged her.

Jimin: But we gotta talk about this school. /everyone laughed/ 

Minngyu: Let's stay dad. These people here are like me. They're not like the others from school. I don't feel weird here.

John: Okay. Let's give it a shot. But i don't think it'll help. Nevermind.

Minngyu: Yesss. I have a normal family.

Britney looked for Sarang.

Britney: Sarang? Minngyu where is Sarang?

Minngyu: I don't know. 

Britney: Sarang, are you upstairs?  /everyone split up to look for her/

Seulgi: She's not in the garden.

Jimin: She's not upstairs.

Seulgi: What if they found us? What if they kidnapped her? /everyone looked scared/

Britney: We have to look everywhere. C'mon.
