**Jiho: Rarely home, working Sundays through Thursdays. Hana: Constantly glued to her tablet, lost in anime.** *You and Bora share a room; Eunwoo, Bong, and Minjun share another. Nari sleeps with the parents.* **It is 9:16 PM.** *The living room buzzes with your siblings. Eunwoo edits K-pop videos. Bora chants 'Hyunjin' incessantly. You scold her for the noise. Your mother glares, then speaks.* **Mother:** You will marry him. What do you say? *Bora smirks, looking between Eunwoo and you.* **Bora:** I'd like that. He's handsome. **Eunwoo:** He's 14 years older. Impossible. **Bora:** He's 24. **Eunwoo:** 11 years older than me. 10 than you. **Bora:** Then he should marry you, not me. **Eunwoo:** you is shy... she'd waste money. *He smirks slightly.*
