It was Christmas as I opened my eyes to the scene of the sun rise. Jiyoung was still sleeping; I turned to wake her up but stopped halfway when I remembered that she did not like to wake up early. Shrugging, I jumped up from the floor and stretched my body. Getting out of the room, I greeted Umma and Appa with a ‘Merry Christmas’ before I had my shower.

Wearing my new set of clothes that was given by Umma for Christmas, my face was plastered with a smile as I spun around for them to see. I saw Jiyoung sitting by the dining table, she rolled her eyes and I skipped towards her.

“Jiyoung-ah, your present is on the study table” I said with a smile and she gave me her morning glare as usual. “Anyways, Merry Christmas Jiyoungie” I sang and she covered her ears with her palm and walked away. I pouted when she walked off without greeting me back but I shrugged it off.

“Umma, are you going to make chocolate muffins?” I asked as she mixed the brown cake mix. Chuckling, she nodded and lifted the basin of mix towards me. “Smell~” she said and I looked at her before taking a sniff. My eyes widened and jumped, “Yay, it’s my favourite chocolate muffin” I cheered and Appa laughed at my silliness.

Jiyoung came out half an hour later with her set of clothes, my eyes widened when I saw that her dress was shorter and sleeveless compared to my knee length and long sleeves red dress.

“Wah, Jiyoung looks pretty in that dress” I said with an eye smile and she gave me a smirk.

“Are you jealous?” she stuck her tongue out and I nodded with a laugh. “Neh” I said and diverted my attention to Umma preparing the chocolate muffin.

All of a sudden I was being pulled back and saw Jiyoung in front of me. “What happened?” I asked and tilted my head to the side. I noticed that she took quite a long time to tell me the things that she wanted to say.

“Can you help me?” she said in a low but audible voice. My eyes widened for a while before it turned to an eye smile. “Of course, anything for my twin” I was happy that she needed my help because she never asked me for help.

“Help? You are eighteen for god’s sake” Appa said from the kitchen as he made ddeokbokki. I noticed that a frown appeared on Jiyoung’s face and I couldn’t help but do the same. “What do you want me to help you with?” I whispered and she just rolled her eyes and walked back to the room.

“Appa” I cried and walked towards him, “why didn’t you let me help Jiyoung?” I sulked and he turned around. “I did not let you help Jiyoung because she needs to learn how to help herself even though sisters should help each other but she does not even help you in any percent so why don’t you do the same” I pouted at his explanation and nodded.

*End of Minyoung Pov*

*Jiyoung Pov*

I walked downstairs with the dress that I bought yesterday with a smile. The set that Umma and Appa bought was hideous that I would like to hide in the closet the whole day until it was time to take my shower.

Minyoung stared at me with her jaw dropped, I rolled my eyes with annoyance as she started to compliment about my dress. Appa turned around and gave me a look of disapproval before turning back to his cooking. Umma did not even take a single glance at me. I sighed inside.

I stared at Minyoung looking at Umma making her favourite muffins, I wanted to puke on the spot. That girl is always acting like a kid and the adults always see her as their top priority, what a joke. Without any second thought, I pulled Minyoung and looked at her. I need to get rid of you somehow. Because of you, Umma and Appa don’t even have me their eyes. I felt my heart break a little.

“What happened?” Minyoung’s voice woke me from the trance and I breathed out deeply before opening my mouth, “Can you help me?” I tried to make it unnoticed by Appa because I know that he would comment about anything I do. The comments are always negative.

It didn’t work at all since he had those ears of a bat, I sighed inside when he turned.

“Help? You are eighteen for god’s sake” His words was stuck in my head for a second and I felt a dagger struck in my chest. ‘Why doesn’t he understand me? Does he only care about Minyoung?’ I couldn’t help but frown. The stale air in front of me asked me an annoying question, I wasn’t in the mood to ask for another help so I just rolled my eyes and walked up the stairs to the room.

Lying on my side of the bed, I stared at the other corner which Minyoung always sleep in. My eyes turned into a glare.

Thoughts filled my head, ‘she still doesn’t get the reason why she is always on the floor in the morning. Why is she so naive’ thinking of her naive personality, a smirk appeared on my lips.

“One day...”

=========================

*Minyoung Pov*

My eyes opened slowly and I turned around until I fell on the floor. ‘Why was I on the bed? Oh so does that mean that I didn’t fall off the bed last night?’ my lips formed a wide smile.

“A good sign for a New year” I cheered and turned to see Jiyoung looking at me with a smile, “Happy New Year, Minyoung” she said and I smiled with a nod. “Happy New Year, Twinnie” my day started with a boost with the New Year greeting from Jiyoung.

After my wash up, I jumped down the stairs with a perfect landing and greeted Umma and Appa with a bow. “HAPPY NEW YEAR” I spread my arms out to receive my red pocket with a giggle. They smiled widely and patted my head as I stood up.

Breakfast was ready and Jiyoung came down just in time with a happy face, she greeted Umma and Appa and they did the same.

“This feels great, I hope that this is a good sign for the New Year” Appa said and I nodded. I turned to Jiyoung and she chuckled.

“Minyoung-ah, let’s go out after breakfast” she asked and I nodded. “Of course” I was really excited; Jiyoung was finally open for some sister bonding.

‘This is definitely going to be a great year for us’
