My name is Rin, I am 18  , still weird, I just turned 19 , I live with my brother and our parents, but this  is not about me, it would be boring if it was, not that my life is 100% boring but the 50% that doesn't have my friends is...

Did you ever heard about the 6 deegres of separation theory, well it's similar to that, since I was young that girls find me weird, don't feel sorry it doesn't bother me, anymore, my parents are, not exactly hippies, but quite open minded, and this impacted the way they raised my brother and I, they always let us be us and do whatever, and for some reason when I was around 10/11, not sure, I decided that I wanted to walk around with flowers in my head and refused to wear shoes, you know, normal stuff, not, long story short, people started talking about my mental stability, adults of course, but when a children listen to it's parents calling someone crazy they tend to do it to, and for now on that was my label, the crazy children...

My father told me that what makes someone beautiful is what make him different from the others, if everybody is using skinny jeans using skirt will make you special, I still think that is because he didn't wanted to buy me that $200 pair of jeans, but, anyhow, it stucked with me, 

So how come, a weird and antisocial girl like me is going to talk about friends, well this is were the 6 degrees starts...

I have a friend, the best friend anyone can have, but he has a huge flaw, more on that later, even when I was on my weirdest fase he just stood with me, maybe because he is a little weird too, what I wanted to say is that his friends became my friends, and his friends friends became my friends and more they are from the same group of friend of my brother, so it was meant to be, the only downside is that I am the only girl in a group of 7 guys...

Is like they are cursed, really, I lost the count of the girls that came and go, like not like, shii, nevermind, what I'm saying is that they all had girlfriends but none of them last longer than 3 months,  first I thought that it wasn't a bad thing, honestly none of the girls seemed to fit with our sense of humor and ok, co-dependency, they all seemed to be Yokos on our Beatles little world, but I'm starting to think that if the girls can't stay maybe the problem is with us, maybe we are to judgemental or snobs in our way and didn't realised, or maybe, ok this is were my weird and crazy self enters the scene, maybe, just maybe if the outsiders don't work, why not look inside, crazy I know, what am I going to be everybody's wife, trust me it wouldn't work, been there, noo, not like that, I mean, I have an idea on how it is to be their girlfriend, well, almost all, not my brother and... Nevermind, I didn't, really date all of the guys on my group of friends, I was their "beard", yeah, I know it's an expression used to describe someone that a gay person dates or even marries to cover his uallity ( ex: Suzy), lol, just joking, when I said I've been "beard", is in another sense of the world, or maybe just me taking freedom with the world, the fact is that sometimes there are some girls that don't take  a no and keep bothering them and they usually say " I'm seeing someone", if the girl insists they'll put their arms around me and say " right gongju", I usually don't even say anything, but I'm getting tired of it, and let's be honest, it doesn't matter how weird I am, I'm still a girl, and I have someone I like, but he must know of my relationship with the group and maybe because he knows that he thinks of me only as a friend, but, I still dream of having it all, my prince, my love story, who'd want to go out with a girl that is always surrounded by guys, no one I know...

So I decided to take matters to my hands and "marry off" all the the guys before I starting looking for my future husband, and know I have the perfect chance, and I know exactly who to start with...

One fine night

Jooheon- Oh -the group of young men were sitting in laziness, when Jooheon broke the silence with the imprecation
Changkyun- What dude?- IM, his best friend who was sitting closer and had the hit to his sensitive ear asked annoyed while scrubbing his ear
Jooheon- I have this weird feeling I'm forgetting something important
Wonho- TBH, I'm having this same feeling- Wonho said, but he alianeted himself from the conversation as soon as the server girl smilled at him, again, guess who wasn't going to go home alone that day either
Minhyuk- Me three- Minhyuk said
Hyungwon- We forgot to call Shownu hyung- Hyungwon said listless
Kihyun- What's the point, he's so quiet and boring, that makes no difference from him to be here or not
IM- Yaha, you're talking about my brother
Kihyun- And, it doesn't make less true because he's your hyung
IM- Lol, you're right
Jooheon- Oh well, salute Changkyun the last of us to graduate, welcome to adulthood

IM- More range of girls to pick from?- IM joked
Wonho- That too- he said wickedly
IM- What else then?

ME, THEY FORGOT ME, THOSE SO-CALLED FRIENDS, AND BROTHER FORGOT ME, THEY FORGOT MY BDAY 

#worstbdayever

 

That morning

I woke up in a good mood, why wouldn't I, I'm finally becoming an adult, at least in name, I woke up earlier than I use to, especially because I am already in school break mode, I turned my bedroom tv and put it on my favorite music channel at volume up, it is my bday, house tradition, I can do whatever I want, eat whatever I want, if I wanted I could even put all the tvs on the house on the channel I wanted, not that it was exclusive for my bday, but more evident, that I am a spoilled princess...

I was just finishing getting dressed and about to dry my hair when a well known sound drew my attention to my computer, two more second and I would miss it under the hairdrier sound, I wrapped my head on the towel and sat in front of my laptop

Green tea- HI U, mornin' 😊 - it always makes me smile

I know in the catfish era I shouldn't trust someone that is always making excuses not to meet me but somehow I trust him, more than my actually group of friends, it's been 2 years? Yeah around that, a few years ago I decided to make a blog to ask ideas how to match my friends and the nickname caught my eyes, it was my Exo Fase, and I read some KrisTao fic that said that green tea was I don't even remember now who of them favorite drink, so it became my favorite drink too  so I accepted the friendship request, the first message I got was:

Green tea- How come someone that doesn't know anything about love wants to play cupid?
Marshmallow- Who are you do you know me?
GT- Yes, i think I do
MRSmallow- why did you say that?
GT- I know someone that likes you and you don't even seem to realize he exists
MRSmallow- you're liying, I would realize if someone likes me, but just to be sure who likes me
GT- I'll tell you another time
 Long story short I desactived the blog but kept in contact with the person, he never told me who likes me and TBH it doesn't matter anymore, I started to like him, I feel that I can talk everything with him and he will understand me the other guys would make fun of me, or just be guys about everything
My invisible friend, or as my brother says my "catfish notboyfriend friend", it doesn't matter, he, I knew that  he is an he, became one of my best friends, no, it's more than that, better saying ,he became an essencial friend in the last years, I even changed my nickname because of him, I used to use marshmallow, but as he always starts the conversation with HI U, I changed my nickname to IU, I don't know if he noticed, but if he did he didn't comment...

IU- This sound is sooo annoying 😠😠😠
GT- Someone woke up in the wrong side of the bed?😏
IU- Did not😡😛
GT- I said mornin'🤣🤣🤣
IU- morning, 😘😘😘😘lol, 
GT- 😀😀😀, better, Did you fell out of bed, I almost choked oon my bfast when I saw you were online, this early on your bday
IU- You remembered
GT- Of course, happy bday
IU- thanks, you're the first person to wish me happy bday this year
GT- you're welcome, make the most of it and no regrets
IU- wow, so deep and cliche
GT- Touche
IU- Do you have it?
GT- What?
IU- Regrets, something you had to do but lost the timing- " please say yes, please say it"- he took some time to reply, for a second I thought we lost connection, then I saw that he was writting something, but he was hesitating, writting deleting, something you do when you're trying to find the right thing to say
GT- Just something I should've done 4 years ago- first cold shower " 4 years ago he didn't know me so"
GT- I'll let you know another time, do you have plans for today?
IU- the usual, brakfast with my parents, some shopping afternoon and meet the boys later, about you, it's today I'm finally going to meet you
GT-sorry,not today
IU- if it wasn't beacuse your nickname is the same as my favorite drink I would unfriended you long time ago
GT- I thought it was Kris wu favorite drink
GT- I'm busy the whole day and I'm going to the girl's I like place after I finish here- second cold shower
IU- Didn't know you have girlfriend
GT- I don't, I just have someone I like
IU- Who, do I know her, it's a her?
GT- Lol, yes it's a girl, and yes, I think you know her, not sure how well but you do
What to say to that, someone you like, likes someone you know
GT- Enjoy your bday, see ya
IU- Hate when you say that
GT- Why
IU- Because I know you can see me, you stalker
GT- I know 
IU- No stalker motto today?
GT- No, it wouldn't make smile
IU- I'm not smilling
GT- You're chuckling right now
IU- Goosebump, if I lived in a building I would think you live across me and use those binoculars like in the secret window
GT- That guy was a sicko, more like in paranoia, checking the y girl nex door
IU- Yeah I know I'm y- " why isn't that enough for you"
....
.....
GT- Really have to go, Talk to you later
IU- Tomorrow, I'm going out with the guys
GT- Right, enjoy your night out with the guys

 

That should be an warning on how this bday was going to be, but I didn't take the warn, I just put out my happy face and had to leave the house...

 

First letdown

After the rushed breakfast with my parents, the only unoccupied people to go shopping with me were, Kihyun and Hyungwon aka the dumb and his dumber, there there is a limit to the amount of idiocy one can take and I reached mine with these two today, but I had to clench my teeth, thinking it was all part of the surprise party they were going to throw me later...

After you window shop, because they didn't had the patience to wait me inside the stores to see and try the thigs I wanted, we went to eat, again, which fyi they do every hour or so...

Kihyun- Isn't that Sora?- he asked Hyungwon, he waved to the girl but she just ignore him, if looks could kill-  what's wrong with her?-  Hyungwon just shrug

Why is your girlfriend upset? - I asked Hyungwon, I was used to those looks from other girls, especially girls that date or used to date my friends

Hyungwon- Ex-girlfriend you mean

Kihyun- What??

Hyungwon- I kind of told her I wanted to break up

- How do you kind tell someone you wanted to break up with her?- sometimes I just want to slap these friends of mine

Hyungwon- Well, I texted her, so I didn't actually tell her, but she knows, lol- this time I really slapped the back of his head

- it's not funny, it's been less than a month and you already broke up, what was the reason this time?

Hyungwon- She was boring, and to be honest I just went out with her because she told me that her friend liked Kihyun, so no need to thank me, I put up for quite some time this time around for your sake chingu

Kihyun- Woh woh, rewind, you said she told you that Mina liked me first?

Hyungwon- Neh, so the that day that you and I went out and 'accidentally" met her and Mina, was actually not a "accident", you welcome

Kihyun- hahahah, now that's funny

Hyungwon- well, no need to be this touched

Kihyun- I'm not touched, it's just funny

- I don't see it, but, I am the weird one ain't I

Kihyun- No, it is, we've been played

Hyungwon- What?

Kihyun- Mina told me the same thing

Hyungwon- what, so, she told me, the other told you- Kihyun nodded and  rasing his eyebrow when the realisation came true- what's wrong with this world?

Kihyun- Never heard of this scheme before

- Really, it's kind of legit, everybody knows that the two of you are inseparable

Kihyun- and??

- and, it's easier to "lure" one of you out using the other like the bait

Kihyun- What on earth

- Come on don't act like it's your first time being used, your brother is Wonho

Kihyun- Yaha Lee Aerin- Hyungwon lol- what are you laughing at, you think it's funny

Hyungwon- I don't know, I am not used to it

Kihyun- Of course you're not, girls don't like you so they don't get close to you

Hyungwon- I just broke up with a girl, and FYI, the one that don't it's because they're jealous, but it ain't my fault if I am pretty than them

Kihyun- And is this really something you should be proud of, why?

Hyungwon- Because I am

Kihyun- It will serve you a lot in prison

What, why, I was already lost in that pointless argument, and didn't want to have anything to do with that but, why the hell did he brought that up

Hyungwon- What, why, I mean, yeah, it can

- Really guys, What are you guys talking about?

Kihyun- Let's say hypothetically, between him and I who would survive better in prison

- Really, right here, right now, today, we're going to have this argument

Hyungwon- Yes, let's get done with it, right here right now, and I promise that we'll never talk about it

- Ok, not that anyone is going to be a winner in this, but what are the rating criteria?

Hyungwon- No criteria, just tell who would survive better in prison and why

- Ok, in a 49% to 51% Hyungwon wins

Hyungwon- Yeeees

Kihyun- Wae waeh, why?- he asked dissapointed

- He is moredable- Kihyun started laughing out loud like a possessed

Hyungwon- Say what, is that a word at all?

- You're an easy target, pretty face, nice body, someone will make you his wife and protect you

Hyungwon- Wait, you mean I will last longer than him because I am pretty- I nodded, I knew where that was going- yes, I won, still count I won, I won because of my beauty, so it served me in prison, end of discussion

- Thank God, so where are the others?- I asked for the uptenth time

Kihyun- Busy like 15mn ago- I had to hide my smile, I know pretty well what they're busy with ( or so I thought)

Hyungwon- So what's your plan for today- he was really into the acting ( or so I thought)

Kihyun- Date? Ooops sorry, you're to scary to be dateable- They started to laugh, I bit my lips, took a deep breath, especially because he didn't know he was rubbing salt on my already wounded heart, he was just being a boy

- No, not today, but be sure it is going to be added to your grudge list

Hyungwon- Why, is today a special day- he deserved credit, he really seemed clueless ( or so I thought)

- Good job guys, reeeally, I'm going to go home, pretend I buy your act, get ready and I'll see you tonigh

Kihyun- We're going to the library tonight for Changkyun graduation

- yeah right, c ya- I said waved them good bye, when I was leaving I could hear Kihyun saying

Kihyun- What's wrong with her, why is she acting out of character today?

Hyungwon- Nevermind, call Minhyuk and see where they are

Out of character my , you guys are too into character ( or so I thought)

 

Second letdown

That night

So here I am, all dressed up, hungry, because I didn't eat with my parents, bored because I can't focus in anything other than my phone and no sign of my friends...

Almost 11pm the doorbell rang, I ran to the door cursing and ready to kick whoever came up with this crazy surprise party, by the time we get to the library it would be almost midnight, and not my birthday anymore...

I don't know who was more surprised, me or the other person, I was waiting for anyone but him, and by the look on his face he too was, he looked over my head uncomfortably and awkwardly, it's not like he was there for me or

Wait maybe, just maybe, it was a surprise party after all, I hide my smile and tried to play along

- What do you want, Jooheon isn't home

- I know- this time I smiled wide, what made him look more unconfortable, and made me feel like crap, so it wasn't, I could see the pity, I swallow the shame and anger

- What you're doing here this late?- I asked rougher than wanted to be, he looked around again cleary wishing to be in front of anyone else but me, though luck, I wished to be somewhere else than here too, he went to his back pack and took something from there and handed it to me, I couldn't avoid the tears, he, out of all the people remembered it

- I had to finish a project at the library, the school library- the bar they go also calls library, so it was a legit explanation- I thought I would leave your present with your parents, I thought you'd be out with the guys 

To be honest I never cared for his presents in the 8/9 years we've known eachother, he never put much thought to them, or anything whatsoever, I would always threw them in a corner and open whenever I found them when cleaning my room, but this time I opened it as if it was the thing I wanted the most, not even the fact that it was the same thing he gives me every single year bothered me, I was actually grateful, I wiped the tears

- Thank you- I said and gave him a quick hug- be honest, you collect coins as your hobby don't you- I chuckled, he always gives me a coin necklace- what does it say this time- I said turning it around- oh?!- I didn't want to sound dissapointed but, it was just my name, I know it must have cost to engrave a name as mine in it, because I rarely find things with my name but, it semmed dull compared to the others, they always had some interesting mix of flowers numbers and letters, that, BTW, I never cared before, but that seemed more interesting that only my name plain...

- Happy birthday- he said, and it seemed like he intended to leave- I'll...

- Sorry, take a sit for a while, did you eat dinner?- I didn't give him time to say no, like I'm sure he wanted to say, I just shoved him into the chair and went to get the leftovers from early- I didn't eat yet, can you eat with me, "please"

- Umh, ok- he said, I didn't know I was holding my breath until I let it out relieved

- I can't believe those asses really forgot my birthday, they will pay dearly

- You want me to call them?

- What's the point, it won't have the same meaning if you call to remind them, when they need me they are gongju here princess there, they are all dead to me, mark my word, I'll never say a word to those ungrateful bastards- he chuckled- I'm serious, you don't believe me

- Not sure

- Yaha, you wanna go to the grudge list- he raised his arms- ok, sing me happy bday, it's not midnight yet so it still my birthday day...

So that was how I spent my 19th bday, only 3 people remembered, 4 people remembered it, my parents, my invisible friend and my brother's friend brother, what am I doing with my life, how did I live untill now that not even my brother remembered my birthday

I was true to my words, I manage to avoid them all day long, even when they tried all the tricks to amuse me, which I kind of enjoyed, it made me feel special, I stayed firm, even if was just to show oppa that i could do it, damn my pride, because of that I almost missed GOT7's concert ticket, because my brother got the tickets and in my words, stupid mouth, I wasn't that cheep...

Luckly it seemed that even if they didn't remembered my birthday they really love me, or they wouldn't be, literally on their knees in front of me, jesus, I'm really enjoying this moment...

- Ungrateful bastards, don't even bother, this is my final words to you, I'll never talk to you guys again...

Wonho- Mian- he said, the thers followed him rubbing their hands in repentance  too

- I can't believe, you off all people, I thought you were my best friend, but,forgot me for a one night stand- I should be used to it, but, it was my supposed best friend- and you, you are my brother- I turned to Jooheon- I thought you didn't go for the breakfast as part of the plan

Changkyun- Sorry it was my fault, it was my graduation, we were busy with...

- I'm not upset because they went to celebrate your graduation, I could go too, but, it would kill you just to send me a text, he- I pointed to oppa- he was busy too, with something actually important, but he came, even thinking that I wouldn't be here, and that person- this time I was looking at my brother, he always mocks me about being in an unrealist, onesided, and pointless relationship- he text me- the others looked at me confused- I'm not mad with you guys, I am just dissapointed, if you guys are the only friends I have, I rather be alone then, and for now on, I will act, correction, I won't be acting because, I really don't know you guys, I thought I did but I don't

Wonho- QUEEN!!!- He shouted, every eyes went to him- absolute queenship over us, even what to dress or eat, you can decide

That caught my attention, and for some reason I looked at oppa, he hide the smile and nodded imperceptibly

-  Keep talking, I'm listenig

Wonho- For a month, we will be at your mercy, you can order us around, make us do everything you ever wanted us to do and knew we would never do

Kihyun- Like you not going out with girls for a day?

Wonho- Shut up- he said through his clench teeth

- Interesting, but let's make a year- I knew I was pushing my luck and the choir of protest was clear about it

Wonho- This semester that is about to start

- From today until the end of the semester

Wonho- Call

- You guys have anything to say?- they shook their head- About you Lee Jooheon- I asked reaching my hand to him

Jooheon- Oh right right, here, you, plus one, You can invite your CFBF

- LEE JOOHEON...
