We were now sitting down watching tv, I knew my parents were going to ask me where I was. But since my brother was here they either forgot or was going to ask me later.
-----
We had a family move night, once the movie ended my dad turned to look over me.
"What time did you come come Flo?"
I had to think quickly but I can't lie
"I stayed over at my friends house, I went over since we have a upcoming test"
It technically wasn't a lie, I just wasn't telling the whole truth, so in the end.
I'm basically telling the truth, Im forever innocent heh. I will consider myself smart for that.
Crap. I now have to tell them about the dorm thing, mmm how should I start telling them.
Ugh.
Can't I just buy them something and make them open it and let it say "surprise, Im a trainee and moving out, bye".
I sighed, before even telling them.
"Dad, Mom, I'm moving out this week. I signed a contract already, so surprise. I'm under a entertainment agency and this is my passion. This is something I really do love doing and I will not give up for something I don't like doing. This is my life and I want to live it, the way I want to Live it."
I didn't know what my dad was thinking, he just had his thinking face on. He stared at my face and examined it. I thought he was going to get mad at me or yell at me for my foolish decision. All I got from him was an "ok"
To be honest, I was speechless, I just gaped at him, not knowing what I should do.
"You're not going to protest or say how dumb I am to choose this decision"
"Flo, You're right, this IS your life and I can't make decisions for you. If this ends up as a big mistake, its ok. We all make mistakes, some bigger compare than other. We learn from our mistakes, that's what make us better as a person."
I couldn't believe Im hearing this from him, my dad. Wasn't he going to be really mad or something.
"Thank you dad, I promise you. This decision wouldn't be a mistake, it would be a blessing to me. Don't even worry about me."
I hugged him and headed to my room. I noticed my mom was sitting quietly in the corner of the couch, would she miss me? She was a little down when Eun left to move to Italy. At least I wasn't moving to a whole different country, I could still visit her, I just wouldn't be sleeping nor eating as I am right now.
I washed up and was laying on my bed scrolling through social media. My brother knocked and came into my room.
He sat at the edge of my bed, it seemed as he was arguing with himself, damn his big ass forehead. Thank goodness, I didn't inherit that part from our parents genes.
"Flowy, you grew up so fast, the reason dad didn't mind your decisions was because the way you talked to him. You didn't stare at something else, you stared directly into his eyes. You showed no emotion of fear, your eyes didn't show any sign of fear. Instead, your dark brown eyes showed determination. I guess not only me, but also him realized you grew up. Dang, I feel old seeing you grow up and doing the things you love, without letting anymore nor anything get in your way. Flow and don't forget, I and our parents will always be here if you ever need us, we are here. Both in our hearts and in our brains."
I didn't realize what I did back there until my brother mentioned it. I guess I am growing up, just not realizing it.
"Thank you Eun, now get out cuz I can knock out any second now"
I shoved him off my bed and then he left. Gosh, I am so tired.
I closed my eyes and I started to drift off to my favorite place.
My dream.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I heard pots banging and voices coming from outside my bedroom. I turned over to the side and tried to find my phone.
The clock read 9:02am, I made my way out of my cozy bed. Once I was out and up, I looked in the mirror, damn I looked like a mess.
I stared at the 15 year old in my mirror; her dark brown wide eyes, here amber brown long hair that reached down to her waist, her rosy heart shaped lips, her messy bangs that looked horrible in the mornings, her hip dips that she silently hated.
I made my way to the bathroom and decided to take a cold shower to wake myself up. The water against my skin felt good, it was refreshing.
I cleansed my face, luckily to my genetics I barely had no acne except for 2 that were barely noticeable.
Ugh, my hair takes for ever to dry, I tied up my hair with the towel and stepped out to see what everyone was doing this morning. From all the things I had in mind, I didn't even dare to think about what was happening in front of my eyes. In the kitchen I saw my mom with Isabel and Eric, my guess was that they were making breakfast. I headed to the living room, Rosy and Alexa were watching some reality show of celebs, I then recognized the white hoodie on the sofa, I then saw Jake walking out of the guest bathroom.
What did I miss, It's barely 9:40am, and how are they here.
Jake then looked up and noticed I was finally up.
"Look who is finally up"
The moment Jake said that, Celena, Tae-il and U-kwon walked in with some coffee in their hands and with a big brown bag.
"Oh well Good morning", tiredly I said, while rubbing my right hand against my forehead.
"She just woke up?"
I turned and it was my brother and my dad heading out from the office.
I groaned, no matter how many times I go to sleep early or try to be an early morning bird, I just can't.
"Flowwww!!, your family's apartment looks amazing, its spacious and comfy, I love ittttttt"
aww, I don't why but even if someone is younger than me by even a few days, I always find it cute on whatever they do even if its something totally weird or normal.
"Oh hey Rosy, I'm glad you love it"
I went to living room and sat beside Rosy, I have no clue how my parents met my friends. How Isabel and Eric were helping out in the kitchen, the kitchen filled with joys of laughter and smiles. The living room who was now full, Jake sitting in the solo sofa on the other end of the living room. U-kwon bringing the big brown bag to the dining table, Celena and Tae-il putting the coffee on the table as well.
Alexa sitting on the other end, close to Rosy My dad making small talk with U-kwon and Eun talking to Tae-il.
If it was any other day, the apartment would've been really quiet and probably everyone would be at work except for my brother.
Then after awhile my mom called us to eat, the clock read 10:25am. Our table was thankfully big enough to fit al of us in, I ended up sitting between Jake and Rosy. There was a variety of foods on the table, the big brown bag turned out to be some breads from the bakery, while the drinks were; ice coffee, latte, hot cocoa and tea. My mom and my friends made some eggs and pancakes.
Honestly I couldn't tell if this was a dream or not, for some reason it just felt too good of a morning. I whispered to Rosy to pinch me, and it hurt so now I could confirm it was not a dream. The breakfast was good, my friends got well enough with my parents, I guess they are trying their best to support me. I loved that about them.
We were done eating and I was helping my mom washing the dishes, the rest were in the living room watching a show or a movie, I really couldn't tell which one.
"Flow, are Eric and Isabel a thing, because they look a cute couple, right?"
Lmao, I love memo, she can spot what others can't.
"Mom, I think they like each but they don't it, and also even if they were to date they have to keep it hidden because of the rules of the company, they'll face consequences if people find out."
My momma let out a soft sigh while cleaning the dishes.
"That's heartbreaking to hear, they need to live their life while they are young, even if its love. No one should receive hate just cause of love. Love should be something we can do without worrying about it. Oh poor them"
My mom has too much of a pure heart, she's the best mom I could ever ask for. I very much agreed with her. Eric and Isabel seem perfect together. Just the circumstances they are in right now, maybe in the future. I'll surely support them even if it has to be in secret.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My parents had to head to work, so Eun and along my friends were left in the apartment.
"Yo Eun, how come they know where we live??"
My brother who was busy looking at his phone looked at me and then at Jake.
"I texted him to come over and invite your friends, they managed to convince our parents about the whole dorm thing. I'll have to give them all the credit, they made them to support you too"
I was shocked, within the short amount of time I met them and they did all this.
For me.
Damn, I was about to shed a tear, I don't deserve my friends or any in general.
"Awww, thank you guys, I really mean it, and thank you Eun too"
Even if my brother thought he barely helped, in a matter of fact he did. And a lot, if he didn't text Jake, none of this would've happen this morning.
"Flow, we are now friends, who need too support each other so don't worry about it"
Aww, Isabel is so sweet, then Celena excused herself to go to the bathroom.
"Sooo, Flow better start packing your things to move out, since we all here we can help out even if its small, we got you"
"Damn, thank you guys, thanks U-kwon"
I like how today's morning was a relaxing one.
I hope tomorrow will be like today.
I then thought of Jake and my brother, I hope they get along well, but I can just hope for the best.
Celena then got out of the bathroom and sat next to Isabel, they look so much like sisters or like twins.
I decided to pack my stuff after the movie ended.
As I was now standing in the entrance of my room, I thought too myself the necessities I'll need. I know I would need my sweatpants, t-shirts, and some hoodies.
Oh and my brush, toothbrush, shampoo, my cleanser, and my undergarments. I think that's all, I don't want to go over board. Celena, Rosy, Isabel, and Alexa helped me out with some things.
"I promise, you won't really need it but take it incase"
Celena blurted out when I was packing a box of pads, I wondered why.
"You won't need it because many of us stop having our periods because of all the stress, you'll eventually get use to it so don't worry much"
"Oh"
Thats shocking, I'll have to thank Celena for telling me in advance or I would've freaked out and wondered if something was wrong me.
While we packed, we were just telling each other the gossip that we knew of, and the boys who said was going to help. Ended up playing video games with my brother.
Today felt good.
