Minae's POV

Everyone left and Siwon-oppa and Zhou mi-oppa and I were all alone. My stomach growled and I blushed a deep red. Siwon-oppa laughed and I walked into the kitchen to make some breakfast. Siwon-oppa's stomach growled when he saw the food I was cooking. I laughed. He set the table and I set the food in front of him and Zhou mi-oppa. He looked at me weirdly.

" Aren't you going to eat?" I point to the small bowl of rice in front of me with a fork.

" That's it?" I laugh.

" I don't have the appetite of a boy, Siwon-oppa. Besides, people have been telling me that I need to lose weight and so I will," I say bluntly.

" There's a difference between dieting and starving yourself you know," Zhou mi-oppa says with an eyebrow raised. I shrug my shoulders. He sighs and starts to eat his food. So does Zhou mi-oppa.

When he was done, he washed his dishes and I went to take a shower. I put on a tight white tanktop with a black vest and crayola blue skinnies. I need to get some clothes soon. I walk back out to see Siwon-oppa and Zhou mi-oppa watching t.v and so I sit next to him and watch along with him.

After about 3 hours of a marathon, Siwon-oppa switches off the channel and looks at me. Zhou mi-oppa looks at me too.

" Wae?" I say.

" Nothing. Hey, do you believe in God? Like, are you a religious person?"

" I used to. Not anymore though..." I say with my head down.

" Why?"

" God is like the creator of this world right? That everything we do is controlled or manipulated by him, right?"

" In the general sense of the word, yes. Why?"

" In my life, there is so much pain and sorrow. If everything is manipulated by him, then why should I believe in something that only causes me sadness?" I say looking at him with a sad look in my eyes. His face softens.

" Because, there may be a chance where you recieve just as much or even more than good than to sadness. You just have to believe that if something bad happens, it can always turn around," Zhou mi-oppa says with a smile. My eyes water. No one has ever given me this great as advice. He wipes my tears away.

" Do you mind telling me what happened in your life that makes you cry?"

" Well...-----"

Siwon's POV

" Well, I don't know if I can. You might look at me weirdly," she says.

" I won't judge. Besides, maybe talking about it with a friend helps. You told Sora and she didn't judge. Maybe letting everything out will help ease your mind about it," Zhou mi-hyung explained. She sighs.

" Fine, but you must promise not to tell anyone until I allow you to," she says finally agreeing. I nod and so does Zhou mi. She sighs again.

" Where do I start? Well, I was born in Seoul, Korea. I was happy with my mother and father. It was all perfect. But when I turned four years old, my father was diagnosed with a very rare type of bone cancer. He was fighting for a year. He was so brave and strong for all of us. My mom and I and himself too even though he knew he wouldn't make it. And he was right. When I turned five years old, he died," she paused choking up a little. " Even at five years old, I noticed the silence that filled the house. Mom didn't look as happy anymore. Then, suddenly she moves the both of us to London to "have a new life" but honestly? I think that being near father would make her even more depressed. I was the only asian at my schools and I was always bullied for it. When I was 9 my mom was remarried. My step-dad was nice and all. He even had a little boy who was just the cutest thing. Life was happy, perfect even. There were days when I would miss my father but I was never really alone. Unitl..."

" Until what? Please continue. We can't help you unless you tell us the whole story Minae," I say. Zhou mi nods. She sighs again.

" Until...The anniversary of my fathers death. We were all in the car when suddenly an eighteen wheeler barrels into us. We spin off to the side until we stopped at the edge of a highway. A bust street right underneath us. Only 20-30 ft. below. I could still feel the glass piercing my arm and face. A piece of the door broke and pierced my lung and back. I don't even know how I'm still alive. Then, our car fell. We fell onto the busy street. Almost like real life pin ball. We were pushed and shoved by other cars coming to a stop when the car in front of us had the decency to stop and call for help. I still remember going in and out of consciousness. I wake up in an all white room with tubes and needles poking me. Strangers all around saying that I was lucky to even survive. That my lung wouldn't work properly but I would still live. I wasn't lucky. My loved ones were dead. I was all alone. I had to live with my Aunt and Uncle and they didn't even care about me. When Auntie was mad, she would scratch, slap, or dig her nails in me. When Uncle was mad, he would get his still lit cigar and drive it into my side and neck. They never loved me. They almost seemed to take joy into abusing me every single day. And school was the same at home. I didn't have a single friend and there were still the bullies who hated me for my race. I was called fat, ugly, that my mom never loved me. That I caused her so much pain that she decided to kill herself on my father's anniversary. And for a long time, I believed every single word. Every comment, I would self harm. One cut for every insult, every word," she paused to show us her wrists. Zhou mi and I both gasped. Pale pink lines decorated her wrists. Some were faded, almost healed while others looked more recent. Please, don't tell me that we caused some of the recent ones.

" I ran away from my Aunt and Uncle when I was 15. I had to get a job and support mmyself to this day. I had to pay rent, pay for my school funds, food, everything. The only reason I'm here today was that I was broke and that I would have to become homeless because I couldn't pay rent. Sora-unnie was my only friend and we didn't even see eachother or talk to eachother face to face. Only by email. Sad, huh? She was and is my light. My savior. I would've given up a long time ago if it wasn't for her to keep on pushing me to live on." She paused to wipe away a stray tear.

" In my life, whenever I have a good thing, something bad always has to happen. That's just how it works. That's why I freaked out when you guys said you wanted me to move out. I thought you guys were the one good thing that doesn't have anything bad as a package deal that I could have in my life. You guys are just that precious to me," she says with a sad smile. Me and Zhou mi wrap her in a big bear hug from both sides. She looks confused.

" Nothing bad will ever happen. We'll make sure of that. After all, you are part of the Super Junior Family," Zhou mi says and we both kiss Minae's temples at the same time. She tears up and hugs us both. We vow to never hurt this girl.
