Once upon a Thanksgiving

Well....
 this was unexpected. For the life of him, Joon didn't know what to say when he found Bom at his door. Luckily, Liam was right behind her. Although, Joon wasn't sure he could breathe easy. He wasn't even sure he could find his pulse. He felt faint at the sight of his old flame aka his step-sister.

Of course, he'd known her long before his mom met her Dad. He couldn't say Bom was his first love, yet just a drunken lover who he studied the civil service exam with, back in Seoul.

He winced, thinking this was all he needed for Thanksgiving. She wasn't really family.

"What do you want?" He wanted to say, but he kept his mouth shut as Liam explained her surprise visit.

"Now, she's here..and..and she's staying at my place," Liam said with a shrug as he remained low key.

Bom just grinned as if she might be up to something. Joon remained unmoved. He couldn't speak to her. He didn't even want to look at her, but in his next breath, Natalie was full of handshakes. Asking how her trip was and if she needed anything.

They went off to the kitchen for something. Joon watched as if this was a silent movie that he could hardly respond too.

"What did you do?" He gave Liam the evil eye as if this was all his fault.

"I didn't even know she was coming," Liam looked at Joon as if he was the lost puppy no one really wanted.

Joon sighed, thinking this was the worst thing possible. Why did he have to be Bom's brother now? He wanted to remain the silent ex he'd come to be. This really wasn't his kind of holiday gig.
