Chapter One

Needs | EDITING

At young age of 23, Minho thought of wanting to have freedom, no control over his decisions, enjoying it while he still can. But that all changed. His family wanted him to find a wife real soon and have kids as soon as possible. They insisted but Minho being stubborn and refuses to do it, giving lame excuses 

 
His mom, dad, and sister have been pestering him over about it, it drives him nuts just keep on hearing it over and over. Minho wanted to live free, but he can't really do that now. On going phone calls, unnecessary talks, it's what all Minho has been receiving
 
"What umma!? Seriously, you're going to bug me about it? Aish, if you have nothing else to say, I'm going to hang up" Minho furiously hangs up.  Leaning back on his chair, Minho rubs his temples, easing the pain 
 
"Sir, someone wants to speak to you." Mr. Kim, Minho's secretary said. Minho fixed how he was sitting and told Mr. Kim to let him in. In a matter of minutes, a girl dashes into his office 
 
"What do you want Krystal? Don't bother me about the finding the wife thing please. I'm asking you kindly." Minho says, sighing. 
 
"Oh my dear brother, what made you think that? Im just here to hang out, have a chit chat with you." Krystal responds as she comfortably sits on the couch, Minho rolls his eyes. He got up and walked where Krystal was at and takes a seat next to her 
 
"Oh please,  you're going to side with mom and dad later anyways. What do you seriously want?" Minho says, quite annoyed. Krystal cracks up a smile and sits up properly 
 
"I need to go this party and mom and dad won't let me. I was hoping you would come with me, so they can know that I'll be safe there. Please oppa?" Krystal begs, showing her puppy eyes. Minho scoffs 
 
"Nice try, little sister. Your puppy eyes doesn't work with me. And who's party is it anyways?" Minho asks, Krystal annoyingly rolls her eyes 
 
"You're seriously no help. Why would I tell who's party is it anyways? You won't even go with me, so what's the point of telling you?" Krystal says, Minho sighs. 
 
"You won't tell me? Fine, I was actually thinking of letting you but you insist. You can leave now" Minho says, purposely getting up. This caught Krystal's attention in an instant. As Minho was getting up, Krystal tugged onto his hand, making Minho stop 
 
"A friend of my mine is having a party's at a club. Please oppa, let me go." Krystal pleads, Minho smirks a bit but instantly removed the smirk after remembering it's at a club 
 
"YA! A club? Are you crazy? You're not even in an legal age. And you're expecting me to let you go to it? Mom and Dad are right, you're not going." Minho says, sternly. Krystal looks at him in disbelief
 
"Oh come on, oppa! In a year, I'll be 20. I'll be legal then. Please oppa? Pretty please? I'll do anything for you" Krystal begs, Minho shakes his head. Even though they're not so close, Minho still wants to protect his little sister from harm 
 
"My decision is final. You can not go. Don't argue back. When I say no, I mean it. I'm just protecting you" Minho explains, hearing this furies Krystal 
 
"You're so unfair! I'm leaving!" Krystal half shouting, leaving his office sullen.  Minho sat back down and sighed to himself. 
 
"When will problems stop coming?" Minho thought to himself  
 
============================
 
"I'm giving you 5 months to pay your rent. If I don't receive any money until then, you're moving out. Understand?" The landlady says, before getting out of the apartment. Sulli could only nod. Right after she left, Sulli went to the small living room and, broke down into tears on the floor, hugging her knees 
 
"Umma, why did you have to leave me so early? Now, I have to survive on my own. I need you here umma. I need you." Sulli whispers, laying down on the floor. Crying out her heart, Sulli fell asleep on the carpet floor 
 
The sun was shining brightly, hitting against Sulli's face, causing her to wake up. Noticing where she was at, Sulli quickly got up and went shower. Taking a shower and changing into different clothes, Sulli went to work. 
 
"I need to find another job. A job that can pay off my rent. I can do it. Sulli-ah, fighting!" Sulli said to herself, cheering for herself. Sulli did the usual go to work at the coffee shop, now she's going around, finding a job that can support her. 
 
With every store, company, all most everywhere, they would decline her. Saying that she's too young, she doesn't have the degree for it and so on but this doesn't stop Sulli from giving up. She will find a job that can do so. 
 
Ever since her mom died 2 years ago,  Sulli was on her own. Luckily, her mom left a small apartment for Sulli to live in but that doesn't mean everything was given. She decided to drop out of college since she knew she can't pay for it. Her life was at its peak, 2 years ago but it went down the drain
 
Sulli wandered around the whole city, finding a job but no luck. Even though she works at the coffee shop, it doesn't give her enough money to pay off the rent and now especially, she's given 5 months to pay for it 
 
"What am I going to do? Umma, please send a sign or something. I need your help, I can't do this alone. Umma, please, just for once, come back to life and be with me. I miss you. I really do." Sulli says, looking up at the sky.  As if her mom knew her problem, a wind flew by 
 
Sulli stopped the tears from falling down, she told her herself she needs to be strong, she can get over this. It just takes time and patience. Since it was getting dark, Sulli headed home and started a new day tomorrow. 
 
"My problems are keep on piling on top of one another. Can they stop?" Sulli thought to herself as she sits in the bus, heading to her apartment 
 
============================ 
 
Few weeks later... 
 
[Sulli's POV] 
 
I will seriously go crazy if there's not a job that can accept me. I have little time and no one is opening up a job. There use less anyways. 
 
As I entered the coffee shop, I had the feeling of something good that going happen. It was like something will help me, something or possibly someone.
 
"Annyonghasaeyo" I greet the customer, she was pretty, quite tall, lean. She smiled back at me 
 
"Can I take your order Ms?" I said, this particular customer looked at the menu and searched for what she wants. I thought by now every customer should be ready when they get to the counter but I was wrong
 
Finally, after like 5 minutes, she finally gave me her order. Right after she handed me the money, I asked for her name so I can write her name on the cup and pass it on 
 
"Krystal." She simply answered. She looked that she was around my age but she looked like she was a bit younger. Something about her tells me, she will help me but I wasn't sure
 
[End Of POV] 
 
"Mr. Minho, Ms. Krystal is asking for permission to come in to your office. Would you like me to send her in?" Mr. Kim asked over the phone
 
"Go ahead, send her in." Minho replies. Krystal walked in with a smile on her face, carrying two drinks. Minho noticed how peculiarly happy she was 
 
"What's the drinks?" Minho asked, Krystal rolled her eyes and sat down in a chair in front of Minho's desk. 
 
"Wae? I can't bring drinks to my brother? There's nothing wrong with it. I promise, I didn't poison it or whatever." Krystal says, smiling a bit, Minho looks at her in suspicion 
 
"Don't bribe me. I know that you're only doing this so you can convince me to let you go to that party." Minho says, Krystal looks at him with a slight glare 
 
"It already past oppa." Krystal said, Minho didn't believe her. Krystal looked at Minho with a you-don't-believe-me look 
 
"Okay fine, it hasn't past yet. It's on Saturday." Krystal finally reveals, Minho smirks. He took the drink that was on the table and drank it, surprising Krystal 
 
"I thought you wouldn't drink it" Krystal says sarcastically, laughing a bit . Minho only stuck out his tongue out to her 
 
"Do you really want to go?" Minho says, finally giving in. Although he's against, he wants his sister to have a little fun before its taken away. Krystal got up for her seat and went to go hugged Minho 
 
"THANK YOU OPPA! Ahh! I love you so much!" Krystal shouts, hugging him tight, almost suffocating him. Minho laughs 
 
"But in one condition" Minho said, Krystal loosened the hug and listened 
 
"I have to be there and you can not be around boys whatsoever. Understand? Minho says. Krystal smiles. 
 
"Okay! Deal." Krystal answers, wrapping his arms around Minho's neck again, hugging him, or more like suffocating him. Minho laughed, he has weirdly charming sister
 
Krystal stayed for a bit  before she left the office. As Minho was going back to his work, he received a phone call. He thought it was from his dad or mom but it was different. 
 
It was from Taemin. 
 
[On the Phone]
 
Minho: What do you want? 
 
Taemin: Aye hyung. Why are you grumpy lately? 
 
Minho: Get to the point, Tae. I don't have time for this 
 
Taemin: Okay. Okay. Mian. I just wanted to have chat with you
 
Minho: Are you serious? Look Tae, I'm busy right now. Call me back later. 
 
Taemin: Aish, you're no fun. I'm hanging up 
 
[End Of Phone Call] 
 
===========================
 
Sulli was busy passing out the drinks since she got the duty of it today at the coffee shop. Since she was busy passing, someone called her out. She turned that direction and instantly smiled on seeing who it was, Taemin has entered the coffee shop 
 
"Oppa! Annyong." Sulli greets, smiling at him. Taemin smiled back, walking towards where Sulli was at. Sulli finished what she was doing and ran to Taemin, jumping on him, hugging him 
 
"Miss me?" Taemin teases, Sulli laughs, hitting him on the arm
 
"Of course! I missed you. I really do." Sulli says, grinning. Taemin chuckles, he pulled Sulli back into a hug, hugging her tight. Taemin and Sulli have been friends since childhood, they've seen each other at their best and worst. Taemin knows what Sulli has been through 
 
"You're still working here? How long has it been since you've been working here?" Taemin asks, Sulli and him sat down on a table, Sulli offered that the drinks will be on her but Taemin refuses
 
"Almost a year? Look at you, you've changed a lot while I'm still the same. Oppa, it's been months since we talked and hanged out." Sulli says, Taemin smiles 
 
"Me changed? You're being delusional, I'm still the same person. I know, we need to hang out real soon." Taemin says, Sulli nods 
 
Sulli and Taemin started to catch up with each other, telling one another things that happened within the past months, even Sulli told her problems to Taemin and he gladly listened and gave advice. 
 
"This is just a challenge, I've went through tougher times. I can get over this. I will, right?" Sulli rants, Taemin gave her a small smile 
 
"You're one strong person, of course you'll get over this. I know you will. Don't give up, araseo? You will get over this and eventually you'll be back to where you were before. Happy and content." Taemin says, Sulli smiles 
 
"Thank you oppa." Says Sulli, smiling. 
 
"If you need any help or whatever, always know I'm here. Okay?" Taemin said, Sulli nods. Talking to Taemin, relieved Sulli a bit. Now, she knows that she has someone to talk to about her problems and will understand her, not judge her 
 
Luckily her manager doesn't mind if they talk there while Sulli is still on duty. While they were talking to one another, Sulli felt she was genuinely happy, she could sincerely smile again. It's been a while since Sulli laughed so hard, it was a strange new feeling for her but it was slowly growing onto her
 
Right when Taemin was about to leave, Sulli reached out her hand to grab his. Taemin was taken a back for a bit 
 
"Thank you oppa, it was a fun time talking with you again. Let's do it often." Sulli says, smiling at her 
 
"Bye Sulli" Taemin says as a reply, also smiling at Sulli.
