How It Starts
We Are Fated
“This is Choi Jinri, she is my friend’s granddaughter.”
Minho who was playing with his ball stops and went to his grandmother when she demands him to greet her.
He bows to her when she did and plans to continue playing but was stopped by his grandmother.
“I want you to get along well with each other because she is going to live with us.”
“Live with us? Why?”
The young boy asked his grandmother in desperation.
“She has no one anymore. Her parents died when she is a year old and my friend just died last two days.”
The old woman sighs as she caresses the little girl hair.
“I took the decision to raise her like my own granddaughter and Minho, you should treat her well.”
“Why me?”
“Because she is younger than you and Siwon is in boarding school.”
He sighs with slumped shoulder.
“Neh.”
He then looks at the cute little girl with piggy tail.
“What is your name again?”
“Choi Jinri.”
She answers while looking at him with her droopy eyes.
“I’m Minho. Call me Minho.”
“You should call him oppa Sulli.”
“Sulli?”
“I decided to call her Sulli since she had stayed here.”
“Can I just call her Jinri?”
“Wae?”
“Because she is not family.”
He gives the shorter girl a glare and runs inside the house with his ball.
“He doesn’t like me.”
“He’ll like you. Don’t worry.”
“It’s okay halmeoni because I don’t like him too. His big eyes are scary.”
She crosses her arms with a pout on her face.
Minho’s grandmother just laughs it off before she takes the girl inside the house.
Never once she thought that the cute dislike become intensive and severe all the while they were growing up.

“Halmeoni, where is she?”
“Who are you looking for hyung?”
“Mr. Baek told me about our new family member. Where is she?”
“She is in her room Siwon ah. She’ll come down.”
“Ahh. I’ll just change first then.”
Siwon jogs to his room while Minho follows him behind.
“Hyung.”
“Wae Minho ah?”
“Are you okay with her staying with us?”
“Of course. I always want to have a younger sister. I told you so too right?”
“But she is not our dongsaeng.”
“True. But she is like one.”
He finished changing his shirt and puts the dirty pair in the basket.
“Are you getting along well with Ssul?”
“Nahh. I don’t like her.”
“Why? I bet she is sweet.”
“Tchh. She is not.”
Siwon laughs and ruffles his younger brother’s hair.
“I’ll just go and meet her okay. I’ll see if she is like what you said.”
He then skips out of the room and leave Minho alone.
He let out a sigh and follows his brother
