Surprise!

Sibling Rivalry

(A/N: wow! I've never done one of these before! It's so exciting! I just waned to tell all of my 200 something viewers that I am soo thankful:) I was so glad that people clicked on my story0.o I also wanted to say that the reason I'm uploading so slow is because I can't think of anything interesting to write! Especially because I have to think of all my school work at the same time..:( so anyways, enjoy! This chapter is a little longer than the others... I think)

"That's not fair!" I heard Jimin say as I slowly weaved my way in and out of all of the rooms. When I finally made it to the room closest to the stairs, I couldn't help but stare in awe. I ran back to the war zone to announce that I had made my choice.

Pointing at the room across from the masterbedroom, I said - in the sweetest voice possible- "Can I please have that room?" Putting a pouty face on the table I waited for a response. When no one answered, I turned towards Bi who slightly nodded and waved his hand saying go. I jumped up clapping, "Assa!" I said as I ran to grab my luggage from the car. I carried my matching red backpack and my suitcase up the stairs and set it down with an oomph... no one noticed. With a loud sigh I walked to my window, thinking. Actually, more like wondering. I was wondering if coming here was a good idea, and if I could last here very long. Wouldn't I get home sick? What if I didn't have any fans?.. What if I had anti-fans?! I would die! Ohmigod! What if I get rejected right before I make it onto the stage? All of my hard work owuld be for nothing.

At least this wasn't my greatest goal in life, so I wouldn't be too heart broken if I didn't make it in this cruel industry. The only reason I accepted Jihoon Oppa's offer was because I had the "When Life Gives You Lemons" and "Pick a Job that is Right For You" Speech at school a few days later. I figured this was my time to step up and do something I liked. Dance, sing, have fun... sigh.

I set my luggage on the bunk bed that was set up on the left side of the room to unpack and start putting things away, when I felt dirty. Cleaning this room first would be better... "Oppa?" I called softly, knowing he could hear me, and that he was actually paying more attention to the noises I made in this room than the screaming in the room he was in.

"Uh?"

"Is there a rag or mop... or vaccuum I can clean this room with first?" I asked cautiously, trying not to sound like a snob.

"Uhh.." he thought, "I think there should be all of the cleaning supplies you need in the closet across from the stairs," he finally answered.

"Thank you," I smiled knowing full well that he couldn't see me. It was a habit of mine that never left from when I was a youngster... well a younger youngster. In my fourteen years I found that smiling makes me in a brighter mood, even if it's forced. Plus, it makes others happy too, I found that from Grams. Turning right from my room, passing the bathroom, and finally getting to the closet I pulled out all of the necessary items and gave a good polishing scrub to my room while humming to a tune my mom used to like. The walls, the floors and and even my bed looked shinier now.

Feeling proud of the great job I had done, I put away the supplies and finally got to making my room a little more personal. The unnis had also picked their rooms, and we decided that Go Hana, a member that was on vacation for a couple of weeks would share a room with the leader Jaehwa unni since there were only three rooms (two of which were big and one that was cozy - mine). The room next to the master bedroom was shared by Eunae unni, my ex roommate and Jimin unni.

Hearing the doorbell ring I hopped down the stairs one at a time saying, "I'll get it!"

I had to look around trying to remember the set up of the house to get to the door. When I finally made it there I swung the door open casually and saw Hana unni. "Unni!" I yelled and gave her a big bear hug lifting her up off the ground and spinning her to get her inside. A wide smile on my face appeared, she was the member I was closest to. "I thought you would come here in a week!" I was smiling so wide my cheekbones started to hurt. If it was the old me, I would have been jumping around too.

"Surprise?.." she said. "Ani, Bi Oppa said that he had a surprise for all of us and that my break was long enough as it is, so I hopped on a train from Gwanju and came all the way here. I got lost on the way and everything. No one even picked me up from the bus station. It was like a half an hour walk!" She complained to me. I was patting her back the whole time expertly keeping a soft smile plastered on my face.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's over now," I joked, "I'll definitely pick you up if this ever happens again... as long as you TELL me beforehand." My hands were on my hips now. She made a face at that, but couldn't say anything.

Luckily Jihoon Oppa walked in right at that moment saying, "Okay~ Let's go now!" He seemed really excited in a creepy way. Like a parent trying to set you up on a blind date. I squinted my eyes as I slowly grabbed a thin jacket and my shoes. He nodded vigorously and pushed me closer to the door. I finally put my black sneakers and tied up my shoe laces waiting for the others to get out of the house. "Oh, and before I forget, each of you need a key!" His enthusiasm was creeping all of us out so much that everyone was frozen in place, waiting for lightining to strike one of us. I was playing with my hands by now -  a nervous habit - and looking from the unnis to the oppa.

I cleared my throat and finally spoke, "Yeah..." I said, "We will need those." I tried to be polite but it was getting awkward and someone had to say something so I wracked my brain for a joke I head recently...Hmm... Uhh... Wait aminute... Why don't I know any jokes. While I was standing there making faces at myself, everyone was piling into a black van. "Where did you get that from?" I asked, "Why did we have to take a taxi here if you had this?"

Jihoon Oppa made a face at me and said, "I couldn't have left this at the airport... it was dropped off here when we bought the house, and there was no one to pick us up so... yeah." Wow. Sucha capable man, not able to get anyone to drive him here. That's weird.

"Oh," I said and stared at the car. The only available spot was in the back. Ugh! I shook my head and made a face at them saying I was not enjoying this. They only smiled. Evil members, sigh. Oh well at least I had more room than them. It was just a little harder getting there.

Jihoon oppa drove the van to our destination. I didn't understand where we were even though we had already entered a big building. There were long hallways with a bunch of rooms with labels that I didn't bother reading. I only followed the line we formed behind Jihoon Oppa. I only stared at the back of Jimin unnis shoes. There was a leaf stuck on her heel. I didn't tell her. 

"We're here!" Jihoon Oppa said taking me out of my trance. It felt like that leaf had hypnotized me, haha. I looked up to see a a stage with a girl singing with all her might. She seemed really worried... yet peaceful. Most of the seats were full by now, only a row towards the very back that was nearly empty. there were a couple of girls at the other end who looked up and waved us over. Jihoon Oppa waved back saying we'd be right there. I just stared at the other members wondering if they knew the girls. Since I came later to the group, there was a chance that they knew the two girls, but I didn't. They were staring blankly at Jihoon Oppa's back too, so I figured none of knew these girls. They were too young to be Jihoon Oppa's girlfriends but, too old to be his daughter or something. I was still standing shocked when I felt Hana unni drag me with her. We sat next to Bi hoping he would tell us what was going on. He only stared at the singer, who I now found out to be IU. She was cute, and seemed innocent... and close to my age? Maybe? IU walked off stage and I turned my attention back to Jihoon Oppa. He was still staring ahead with all his might, trying not to get caught.

I stared more intently, trying to burn a hole to the side of his face. He finally turned to face me and sighed. I gave him a "What's going on?" look and waited patiently. My patience was about to run put when he finally leaned over and said, "Meet your new members, Gayun and Yoonmi." He was fanning his left hand in their direction while lifting his eyebrows and waiting for my explosive reaction.

...

"Cool," I finally said and watched as a group of guys filled the stage. There were 1,2,3...7 of them, and as soon as the music started they were all over the stage. Acrobatics... impressive, I thought. When the chorus of the song came on, I couldn't help but sing along... "Ship jeom man jeome ship jeom!" I said waving my hands baove my head like they were. I was smiling for real. It was a wide, toothy smile that I just couldn't hold in. When I turned to the rest of the members, my eyes landed on Jihoon Oppa, and he was searching for a sign -  any sign - that said I was angry, or sad, or any other negative feelings. When he couldn't sense any, he turmed around to watch the rest of the amazing performance. "Whoo!" I cheered from my seat.

***

Before the groups performance ended, I felt an urge to go to the bathroom dammit I thought, I wanted to know their name! Ill have to find out some other way... "Oppa, I'm just going to the bathroom, be right back," I said after tapping Jihoon Oppas shoulder. He nodded so I ran out looking for the girl in the cape on every public bathroom door. When I finally found it I hurriedly did my business and ran out hoping that they wouldn't leave me behind.

i was turning a corner when... BAM! I smashed into someone and tumbled down. Ah! Man that hurt! I think I hit my head on his shoulder. I looked up holding my head and got mad, "Oppa!" I said irritated.
