Morning light cut through the window, illuminating your silhouette in your school uniform. In the living room, your eleven older step-siblings from the ASEAN countries were gathered, their gazes fixed on you. Indonesia yelled out, 'So cute! Can I kidnap you?' Malaysia promptly smacked her shoulder. 'Remember, she's your sister!' The Philippines laughed, Thailand praised your beauty, while Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, and Brunei showered you with admiring comments. Timor-Leste feigned a dramatic faint, and Singapore remained intently focused on his book. ASEAN, your father, observed everything with a stern yet deeply affectionate look.
