At the breakfast bar, there is Oppa, leaning slightly on the marble countertop with his slender tall frame with a hint of muscularity under the college jacket uniform and tie he always wears, facing the out back through the window. His feet crossed. His right hand is deep into his trousers pocket while sipping from his ceramic mug his morning spiced vanilla coffee, his raven black fringe almost covering his eyes. I guess he needs to get his hair trimmed. His monolid eyes are closed, he seems relaxed like he is drifted away while listening to music through his wireless earbuds.




At the stool right in the corner there is Tae-hyun munching like a pig on the ball he filled with dry cereals flavored honey and dried berries. A glass of milk is laid there untouched. His eyes are glued at his phone, apparently he is playing some game. The crunchy sounds are deafening.




- 'Oppa, could you please drive me to school?'

I stole a handful of Tae-hyun cereals under his objection

- 'Uh..maybe next time. Soobin-ssi is having car trouble, so I need to pick him and his little sister up.'

He responds after he took a sip of his coffee. By little he meant a year younger than me, and three younger than soobin and Oppa.

Tae-hyun snorts suppressing a growing laughter. I eyed him menacingly

- ' Still, you can give me a lift, we're frequenting the same school.'

I pursed my lips

- ' Don't you hate that pimply mouse?'

Tae-hyun interrupts, I shrug off his comment.

- ' Please oppa-ah! You know how I hate riding buses! Besides, your car is awesomely comfy and it smells nice opposite to the bus and its ugly odor.'

I pulled a pleading face. I know oppa has a soft spot for me that he just wouldn't be able to say no to my plea. As a matter of facts, he is the only one who cares about my existence.

He shrugs, then nods with a small smile.

- ' Get yourself ready you two then.'

He adds, looking at his watch.

- ' Yes sir! Just one minute, I'll bring my backpack.'

I performed a military's salute, stomping the ground and run upstairs to bring my things. I was already in our school uniform, as Tae-hyun.

- ' Don't count me. I'll take the bus with my friends.'

Tae-hyun declines, gulping his glass of milk after chewing what left of his ball of cereal.

And that's how our morning starts on daily basis. Me pleading to my big brother to drive me school. It's sorta nice to see how girls in my school treat me because of him. I can't whinge, though. My brother is handsome, cool and well mannered so it is not unusual to have girls drooling over him. Even for the non-Korean chicks they still have good taste.

Tae-hyun on the other hand, although he is something of a nerdy gamer stereotype, he has the bad boy attitude which attract girls- I can't understand the girls of these days as they seem to gravitate toward this kind of jerks-. Most of our private highschoolers are after him despite being cold and cynic. And both genders,too. He never ceases to amaze me.

We left to pick up my brother's best friend and his sister. It is a rather short drive, but on the way there are a couple long straights with almost no traffic. I think my eomma's Yeonjunnie clocked about 280kmph on the longest stretch.

We've got to Soobin's house.


Now meet Soobin, who goes by his english name 'Bennie' among the westerners. A tall around 185cm with slightly athletic physique and handsome face. Sharp, sparkling wide brown eyes, a silky light brown hair that he wears parted on the right, giving the impression of an old sophisticated gentleman in the 19s. He has a little squashed nose and elvish ears, sorta.

Soobin-ssi was born to a second generation of south Korean parents. He is the eldest son of the well known upstanding and prideful physician parents. His mother is the chief surgical physician while his father is a neurosurgeon. Which makes them as one of the upstanding families in the Korean community in Brisbane.

He and Min-ah; his sister, are waiting outside the gate. He only notices it is us when my brother stops right in front of him and invites him over

- ' Hop in!'

To say he is chocked it is an understatement. I've never seen him looked so surprised. His face is priceless.

Soobin is your type of prideful but sweet fellow who has a quirky sense of humor. He sometimes makes things incredibly stupid and unexpected.

- ' Dude! No ways! Your mom A.C.T.U.A.L.L.Y bought it? I thought she was kidding!'

He exclaims as he glids into the leather creme of the passenger seat. High fiving both of us as a greeting.

No surprise tho'. My big brother is the closest child to mom. Proof, she's got him a Porsche Cayenne. But not only because of that. Oppa finished his second year with the highest score in the whole department. He is smart. Smart and handsome.

- ' I know man! Hey Min-ah'

He greets the make-up rat, who concealed her unfortunate pimply skin with the makeup made her look like a glazed chinese doll.

- ' Hey Oppa '

She replies in a snake-like manner and got in the back. She gazes at me then draws a thin line in her face in a mocking smile, as fake as her face

- ' Annyeonghaseyo.'

She helloes me, slightly bowing her head. I nod with a forced smile

- ' Congrats with the car!'

She addresses my brother with a smile, promptly closed the door.

She and I had never exactly got along, we would talk only for sake of our brothers, we aren't friends and it suits me just fine.

On the way back to school, my brother tops out at 270kmph on the longest stretch. We've got to school and Min-ah thanked him and then run off to her group.

I as well descended and left to join my friends at the gate who re-acted much the same like Soobin did.

My brother pulls out the car off the parking lot, heading to pick Kkyu oppa up. Kkyu or Choi Beom-gyu was an old friend, we know him since forever so, he is pretty much literally my oppa- unfortunate me. His older step-brother is going to marry unnie so we are related in a way or another. Plus, he is frequenting the same university as my brother.

Kkyu is a real Adonis at his only 22 years of age. Standing at 1.82cm, sharp iron-jawed, impossibly slender yet toned physique. He has been modelling since he was a child. And he has been appeared ever since on pages of fashion magazines.

As he grew older he became more attractive with his soft, distinctive korean features; small nose, full lips, large mesmerizing almond-shaped black eyes which he most of times hid them under the colored lenses and his marvelously soft and dense shoulder length black jet hair which he styled it in wolf cut, a textured cut which is shorter at the front, and usually with a fringe at eyebrow length while left longer at the back, resembling the fur of the wolf.

His experience as a professional model made him a pioneer in the industry himself despite his young age, he is the only one ever knows about my secret to be a model and he was helping me through. Well, truth to be told, he was forced to assist me. I did.. um.. force him to. *caugh*
