"I feel like I have a new life and I'm going to take full advantage of it."

–William Green.

Chapter One - The start of a new beginning.

"Noona, wake up."

"Noona!" The younger male repeated  slightly shaking his elder sister who was sleeping peacefully on her sit oblivious to her surroundings. The long ride from Los Angeles, California to south Korea has been nothing but tiring for both JinHee and her brother, hence resulting in her falling deep into slumber as soon as the plane took off.

They had both spent the previous day, packing all their stuffs—well the essential ones. The younger male due to excitement couldn't get an ounce of sleep, not even a wink as he was really ecstatic on coming to Korea—their father land.

JinHee was sleeping peacefully with a calm expression on her face. A blanket draped around her body —courtesy of Jihyun.

"Noona!" The younger male yelled directly into her left ear. This made JinHee groan and stir a little bit before adjusting her body to a more comfortable position.

The younger male rolled his eyes at his sister's nonchalance before screaming a little bit louder than he did earlier.
"JinHee Noona!!" This Gained him few unapproved glances from the passengers riding with them in business class. 

"Keep it down boy!"

This isn't your father's private plane pretty boy!" One passenger commented, a venomous glare etched on his face. He would have taken that as a compliment if not for the wicked glare the man was sending him.

With an apologetic glance, forced smile and a bow, Jihyun —the younger male apologized repetitiously, earning him series of  eye rolls from a few passengers—including the man.

He couldn't blame them,of course he wouldn't. It was his sisters fault for disagreeing to their father's suggestion of taking their private plane. He rolled his eyes at her sleeping figure; She was just too stubborn for her own good. Pretty but still stubborn.

With a sigh, he turned to whisper-yell her name again. But to his luck however, his actions earlier seemed to have awoken the sleeping female, who at the moment was rubbing the sleepiness out of her eyes. "What?" She muttered softly, eyes roaming about as she used her fingers to tame her hair which had a few strands of it falling out of her once perfect ponytail.

Having seem to realize that it was the noise of her brother that woke her up, she whipped her head towards his direction with a hard glare that clearly said "Why-the-hell-did-you-wake-me-up?"

With a sheepish smile, he stuck his tongue out at her and was about telling her his reason for disturbing her sleep when an undeniably loud female voice blasted from the speaker that was very close to her ears. She let out a hiss of annoyance and sent a glare to the poor speaker which if it were a person would cower in fear because of how heavy and scary the glare was.
The proximity of the speaker to her ears made her wonder why she hadn't heard and noticed them earlier.

"Attention to All passengers of Lewis Travels, flight G107, From Los Angeles California to South Korea. The time is currently, 11:21am and we are few meters away from landing in Incheon airport south Korea. Kindly switch off all mobile devices and buckle your seat belts thank you."

The younger male nodded in agreement and buckled his seat belt. She rolled her eyes at him before mimicking him.

Few minutes later, the same voice echoed through the speakers but this time it spoke in Korean, "We've landed in incheon international airport South Korea. Thank you for flying with Lewis Airways. Welcome and Have a good stay in South Korea."

JINHEE

Coming to Korea was something Jihyun and I have been planning and wishing on since Forever but didn't have the courage to say.

Travelling here to South Korea is like an escape from all the problems we have or rather had facing us back home in California. So when we saw an opportunity to come to Korea, without thing twice, we eagerly agreed.

My Dad and step mom's reaction when our aunt told Her brother -my Dad - about her plans on bringing us to Korea were entirely two different things. But nevertheless, Dad sort of agreed and Jihyun and I knew we had to take the opportunity fast before he changed his mind.

After all, we are certain things were going to be different for the both of us here in Korea, at least that is what we think. The Good or bad Different is what we'll have to find out.

Picking up our luggage from the terminal didn't take as long as we had expected. I didn't show it much but Jihyun knows I am very much Excited about our stay here in Korea and well its so obvious that Jihyun is Ecstatic about it.

In as much My Dad's Korean and my mom is Partly Korean, We've Never been here before—quite Shocking right?. 

Hence why we were extremely happy when Dad asked if we'll like to stay in Korea for a few years. We didn't even ask for time to think about, just one glance at each other, Jihyun and I made our decision then and there.

Speaking of Jihyun, my eyes immediately glanced at the black hublot wrist watch —that I received as a gift from one of my Dad's friends back in L.A—to see that it was approximately 17 minutes past the last time I saw him and he told me he was going to the rest room.

I just hope he hasn't missed his way. My brother may be smart but his sense of direction gets tacky sometimes. I just hope today isn't one of those times.

I quickly glanced around the horde of people trying to find the familiar mop of unruly brown hair. Panic rushed to my veins when I couldn't locate him. Seeing as we haven't even been here before, I was so close to losing it.

Different Scenarios of what might have happened to him were running through my mind along with a lot of 'what ifs'.

Oh God what if he has been kidnapped?!

Shit! I know as a prominent businessman in LA, Dad has made quite a fair amount of enemies back home. what if one of them decided to follow us to Korea and Kidnap Jihyun?

I thought of calling his cell phone but then I remembered we both left our phones at home, with the intention of getting a new one once we've settled down.

Damnit! I'm so screwed.

My eyes scanned every nook and corner it could reach from where I was, in search of him. I was starting to pace around frantically and little beads of sweat were Beginning to form on my forehead.

Shit!shit!shit!

'Calm down JinHee! Nothing will happen to Jihyun'. My subconscious mind kept reassuring me.

Just take a deep breath Jinhee, Junior is okay. Maybe he just went to get something from one of the shops here.
Just wait a few more minutes for him.

"A few more minutes." I mumbled. "A few more minutes."

Waiting for a few more minutes wouldn't hurt now would it?.

Approximately Five minutes later, I still didn't see any sign of Junior. Now my paranoia was over the top; my insides were churning with anxiety as my eyes scanned the whole area again dragging our suitcases in the process.

Still no sign of him.

If I was going to find Junior, I'd need the help of the airport security. I wasn't a super human to see him from the mass of people walking about.

Almost immediately, my gaze stopped on an officer and I let out a huff of air.
I dragged the luggages and was walking towards the said officer when I noticed a bunch of what looked like high school girls who had fair amount of suitcases with them(mind you the colours were.... sparkly) giggling and pointing at my direction.

I was a 100% sure that I wasn't the cause of their teenage girl madness so I turned around only to be greeted with the sight of my oh so handsome brother, who looked as if he just came out of a teenage fashion magazine.

I immediately let out a sigh of relief, mentally scolding my self for being so paranoid in the first place.

See JinHee, he's okay. Not even a scratch, he wasn't kidnapped and he's walking towards your direction, looking like a member of a Kpop band.

Rolls eyes insistently.

He was wearing a pair of black ripped jeans with a white shirt that had "Sexy, Free and Single" engraved on it(mind you the eye roll), a black leather jacket with a pair of sunglasses that was resting at the tip of his nose.

I could feel the entire female population gawking at him as he adjusted the sunglasses. Where the hell did he even get those damn glasses from?

With a massive eye roll, I made a mental note to ask him about it later.
still oblivious—as usual, to the amount of attention he was receiving at the moment, his eyes scanned the area like I had been doing earlier, searching for something.

Frustrated, he ran his right hand through his hair, making the same group of glitter girls, squeal in delight. That seems to have gotten his attention, cause he looked towards their direction, to notice their dreamy gazes on him. I watched in amusement as his smirk grew wider at the girls reactions as he pulled down his sunglasses and winked. This only made the girls scream louder than ever.
"What a bunch of Jobless girls." I couldn't help but comment.

With his eyes still searching, mouth pouting like a cute puppy totally ruining his bad boy looks.

Clearly, I was the only one that thought like that because the same group of glitter girls were still staring dreamily at him. 

When his eyes found mine, they lit up and his mouth broke into a huge grin before he walked towards me.

"Did you wait for long noona?" He asked, his gaze on the suitcases I was holding,not seeing the look of disbelief I was sending him.

Sighing, I shook my head not willing to tell him of the almost panic attack I got because I thought he had been kidnapped. Stupid me.

"Not really." He smiled as we began walking towards the exit. "Where have you been?" For the past 30 minutes Might I add?

He shrugged collecting the suitcases I was holding—we didn't pack Much as the rest of our important stuffs have already been shipped and the not really essential  ones like clothes, we plan on getting here—once we've settled down. 

"I went to change in the bathroom."
This made me halt. Deep breaths JinHee, I tried to compose myself so I don't blow out my anger on him.

"why did you change, when we are on our way home and you could change there?" I took a deep breath. "And where in God's name did you get this from?" I motioned to the sunglasses trying so hard to not shout at him.

If Junior was aware of me trying to contain my anger, he didn't show it. He let out a smile and pointed at the glasses, "Oh this?" I nodded, brows raised and lips pursed into a straight line. "Its for the Airport fashion. I heard it's a huge thing here in Korea."

What the?— I couldn't help but gape at him in disbelief.

"And for the glasses," He moved the luggage to his side, and used his hand to flag down a taxi, "I bought them in a store at the airport. It was on sale I think, 30% off." He turned to me with a wide smile once a taxi stopped in front of us. "Nice isn't it?"

I rolled my eyes, "Yeah so nice." So nice I almost went frantic looking for you because of a stupid airport trend Korea has. I wanted to add. Sarcasm was dripping from my tone, but Jihyun laid no attention to it.

With a smirk on his face, he dragged the two suitcases to the back of the taxi and slowly put them in. After Making sure that they're placed properly, he coolly closed the trunk.
He jogged to the other side of the car and opened the door. If I didn't know any better, I would have assumed the car was his. He slipped into the cab after removing his sunglass and pocketed them in his jacket not even bothering to open the car door for me.

I stood there gaping at him in disbelief. This idiot doesn't even know the meaning of gentleman-lity. Chivalry must be so dead to him.

"What are you doing there noona?" He asked, amusement laced in his voice with raised brows and an amused smirk on his lips.

With an eye roll, I opened the Car door and got in.
"What a gentle man." Sarcasm at its finest people!

•°•°•°•°•°•°

After an hour and a half drive, the taxi man pulled in front of a high class looking apartment building, we paid using the credit card that dad had given to me and went to the front gate of the building not forgetting to pick our suitcases.

I was thinking of how we were going to get in since we didn't know the room number of our apartment, neither were we with the keys to the room nor did we know the floor our apartment was in, when I heard a very familiar voice call out my name.

I turned around to be welcomed with the very familiar honey brown eyes of my Dad's sister –Aunt Mirabel(Mira) and her five year old daughter Annabel(Anna) who looked exactly the same from when I last saw them last summer. They were waving at us excitedly and from my peripheral vision, I could see Jihyun waving back at them.

I was about saying 'hello' when we were suddenly engulfed in a not so nice hug by our aunt. It was way too tight;Warm but too tight.

I glanced at Jihyun who had his head pressed to the chest of our favourite aunt with a huge smile on his face.

"My babies!" She exclaimed, wrapping her hands around to get us more closer. As if this wasn't close enough.

"Hey Aunt Mira." I greeted in Korean. Even though we've never been here before,we are quite fluent in the language thanks to Dad who had made it his duty to teach us when we were little. We are almost too perfect in the language we could rival most native speakers. Well aside from Jihyun cause of his western accent —which I also have but I tone it down when I'm speaking other languages that's not English.

I rolled my eyes at Jihyun who was still hugging her with a wide grin on his face and looked down when I felt  little hands wrap around my legs, their head on my thigh. I smiled at my little cousin, who grinned up at me exposing her missing front teeth. Her pigtails bounced as she jumped up in excitement.

"Jay bear!" She squealed with her arms wrapped around where she could reach. I couldn't help but smile at her.

"Hey Anna bear." I ruffled her hair and she frowned at me —as usual. Even at the age of five she is quite something. "I've missed you, you little ball of fluffy demon." I teased squatting to get to her height, to which she answered me with an exaggerated pout.

"Oh my...you're too cute for a demon, fluffy EunJi."

"I'm not a demon! And I'm also not fluffy!" She whined, her mouth in a cute pout and her big brown eyes twinkling brightly at me. She's too cute.

I laughed as Jihyun picked her up resulting in her letting out a scream.
"Yes you're not a demon Anna bear. you're a gummy bear!" Jihyun said as he placed her on his shoulders.

"Yay!!" She squealed in happiness. "Gummy bears are c------ute!" I rolled my eyes, of course she'd think that. Kids. If only—.

After that bone crushing hug and Jihyun and Anna arguing about bears, Aunt Mira lead us to the elevator of the apartment building.

I was told that our apartment was in the 7th floor and that Aunt Mira didn't leave very close to our soon to be Home. She lived in a big house close to gangnam or what she called it. From what I've heard, Her house pretty fancy,  I wasn't freaking out at all, after all her husband is a well known politician.

She promised that we were only going to live in an apartment for a few months before we move to a house(Dad's orders.). Not that I minded —i've never actually stayed in an apartment before. Not that I've stayed anywhere but my house back at LA— but you get my point.

Plus I kind of know the reason why dad wants us to stay here in Seoul so I wasn't actually bothered.

I sighed as She rambled on how she's missed us and How 'tall' Jihyun has grown. I opened my mouth to tell her that it hasn't been long she visited for summer holidays with Anna in L.A and that we didn't change that much—of course Jihyun added a few inches in that course of time and I had left my once too short Bob hair to grow pass my back— when The doors of the elevator opened signalling that we were in the 7th floor.

She got out and we followed behind her,dragging our suitcases,my hand wrapped around little Anna's who was literally bouncing on her feet beside me.

She stopped in front of a door with the numbers 1032 written on it, she took out a bunch of keys from her purse and opened the door with one of them.  We all followed her in and I couldn't help but gape in surprise.

"Wow! This house is lit as fuck!." I heard Ji Hyun exclaim and I couldn't help but nod in agreement.

"Language mister." Aunt Mira scolded.

The apartment was magnificent. It was a Four roomed apartment With a guest room that had an ensuite bathroom in it, and Two big bathrooms at the left side of the apartment, a living room that was already furnished with a large plasma TV hanging on the wall, three large couches with two at the side at the side of the room and an L shaped couch that was directly facing the TV, and a glass table in the middle of the Room.

A whistle of appreciation coming from a door that was slightly ajar snapped me out of my thoughts."Sis! you've got to see this." I heard Jihyun call out from the room behind the door and I moved towards him still admiring the structure of the house.

Aunt Mira —who had a volunteer work to do in Daegu(don't know where that it's BTW)had left earlier with A promise to come visit us soon. After writing her address with both her number and her husbands number on it,she kissed us goodbye on the cheeks and left.

Back to the unknown room, I pushed the door open only for my eyes to widen in awe at the high class kitchen in front of me.

This Kitchen alone is heaven on earth, its almost as big and good as the one we had back at home. A large island which formed an L-shape occupied the middle part of room. At one side of the kitchen was a dining table with 8 chairs surrounding it.

Refrigerators,cupboards, electric Cookers, cabinets, You name it.

I looked towards Jihyun who was nodding in appreciation as he opened an inbuilt refrigerator. I raised my brow in question and he gestured for me to come closer,which I did. I peeked in and was amazed at the amount of Raw foods that were packed in the fridge... ranging from meat to vegetables to every other thing I couldn't decipher there. I sighted Two amazing bowl of ice cream and I secretly thanked Aunt Mira for all of this.

I opened one of the cabinets that were stocked with solid and fast food . Kitchen utensils adorned the other cabinets.

The sound of nylon snapping, made me turn towards Jihyun who was leisurely eating a chocolate bar which I guess he took form the fridge, and I couldn't help but give him a stink eye.

"What?" He asked when he caught me looking at him with chocolate in his mouth."I'm hungry."

I couldn't help but smile. At this rate we wouldn't be running out of food anytime soon.
Well if only I can cook Korean dishes but we'll think about that later.

Moving out of the kitchen, we went towards the bedrooms. Suddenly feeling the jet lag from the flight from last night up till this morning. Exhausted wasn't enough to describe how I was feeling at the moment but I can't say the same for Jihyun who zoomed pass me before I could blink with a chocolate in his hand.

I heard Jihyun call dibs on the room farther away from the living room but I was too tired to respond so I just nodded not caring at that moment if he could see me or not.

My eyes were becoming droopy as I opened the door closet to me,letting out a yawn in the process.

To tired to acknowledge any thing in the room, I removed my shoes and climbed on the bed letting Sleep and fatigue take over my body.

•°•°•°•°•°•°

Few Hours Later~

I woke up feeling hungry. with a yawn I took in my surroundings, I was in a sky blue and white colored room that had a Very large closet that sat opposite the bed, a reading table with a Chair that was neatly tucked beneath it. Beside the bed was a dressing table with a mirror hung neatly above it. The table has Set of drawers that were all empty at the moment. A Small white couch was placed to face the side of the bed which was Queen sized.

An ensuite bathroom ,with Glass windows that overlooked the whole city. Oh wait is that a balcony?? I moved open the glass and my cold feet came in contact with the bare floor. A chair with a small table was placed opposite each other in the balcony.

From where I stood, I could see the about to set Sun and smiled.

"This must be the masters bedroom." I muttered to my self as I closed the glass door and stepped back into my soon to be room.

I opened the empty closet and arranged my not so much clothes into it, making a mental note to shop for clothes later with Ji hyun.

I looked at the clock on the bedside drawer and almost cussed out in surprise at the time. It was almost 6pm in the evening.

"Hmmm...didn't know I slept for that long."

I grabbed a Grey hoodie, and a white shorts and entered the bathroom while tying my hair up in a bun.

After my very long shower, I went outside expecting to see Ji hyun fooling around in the living but they was no sign of him. The house was exceptionally quiet—too quiet for my liking.

I checked the rooms next to mine but they were no signs of him. Except for the sprawled Luggage on the bed of the last room, you wouldn't know he was even there.

I made sure to check the balcony and Bathroom of each room but nada–no sign of Jihyun. I checked the living room,the Kitchen but he wasn't in any of these places .

I opened the fridge and took a bottle of water to calm my self from freaking out for the second time today.
I was about uncapping the bottle of water when I saw a note that was pasted to the microwave.

I tore of the letter that had Jihyun's too good to be true handwriting on it.

I took a sip of my water and sat on the island as I read the Letter.

"Hey sleepy head :)." It started and I couldn't help but roll my eyes.

.... You awake now? I tried waking up earlier but all to no avail you were too deep in your sleep.
Anyways, wanted to tell you that I'm going out.
Where?I don't know. I'll just walk around the area. Check out the city and stuff ;)
I took the credit card(don't freak out!)I might get a phone or something.
I'll go grocery shopping or rather hunting for non-korean Foods lol...
Hope you had a nice sleep?
I love you don't look for me!

— the most Handsome of all ;)
Junior❤

P.S: I feel weird like an ancient man writing letters like this...*shudders*

PP.S: I know you'd be hungry when you woke up so I made you lunch.
It's kinda messy though
Wanted to make something better but I got scared looking at all the Korean things in the fridge hahaha...so enjoyyyy♥

Bon Appetite❤. "

"Awww, he's too sweet." I thought while grinning like a Cheshire cat.

I ate the not so good looking sandwich which was delicious btw and washed and dried the dishes in the sink.

Feeling bored after staring at the fridge for a while, I moved towards the living room.

"hmmmm....What should I do now?" Tapping my chin, I asked no one In particular.

°^°
