When the three of you finished unpacking your things, which is not a hard thing to do since you three only brought a few clothes, the three of you then proceeded to the kitchen to have your lunch.
On the table, is where there are plates, bowls, chopsticks, and the most important, many delicacies placed on the table. Chicken, veggies, kimchi, fish, and fruits are set on the table, their delicious aroma roaming the atmosphere, making you wanting to eat it right now. Mostly chicken~
"Take your seat and eat~" Your mother said in a happy tone as she set a pot of cream chicken soup on the table.
(A/N: Cream Chicken Soup is actually one of my favorite food *drools* ( * ㄱ * ))
In response, the three of you took your seats. Your mom was sitting right in front of you while you, on the other hand, are sitting between Jungkook and Taehyung, which you don't even know why you're sitting between them in the first place but you don't even care since you wanted to eat.
"Oh, Taeyeon. Let's eat!" Your mom said as she noticed Taeyeon entering the kitchen and took her seat beside your mom.
"Never eaten these kind of food before." Taehyung said as he stared at the food.
"Just try it, idiot." You responded as you took a good amount of kimchi using your chopsticks and placed it in Taehyung's bowl.
"____, that's not a nice way to call a kind young lad like him." Your mom scolded in a gentle manner as she then continued eating her food.
Sure, very kind indeed...
"But he does look like a weirdo, Mom." Taeyeon blurted as she is chewing a bite from her food.
I love you so much lil' sis...
"Pft..." You almost choke from your little sister's surprising statement but you quickly covered your mouth with your hand. Then, you could notice Taehyung's face having an irritated expression yet trying to keep his kind-looking one.
"Taeyeon, manners!" Your mother scolded your sister, but in a light way since she is still a little kid.
After all the fuss, all of you then continued eating. Sooner or later, all of you seemed to be finished eating all the delicious food.
"Excuse me, young lad. But can you help me take the dishes and bring them in the sink?" Your mother said as she was asking a request to Taehyung.
"Of course, Aunt (M/N)." Taehyung replied with a smile which you could already sense that he was faking it as always.
"And ____, would you bring Taeyeon in her room and help her with her homework?" Your mother questioned as she stacked several plates.
"I will." You replied in a 'whatever' tone since you always help your little sister with her homework and assignments.
"Oh! Also, let Jungkook come along." Your mother added as she had a cheerful smile on her face.
"But, mom. I don't wanna be with that seagull." Taeyeon whined.
"Taeyeon, you shouldn't be rude to our guests." Your mom lectured.
"It's alright, Taeyeon. Let's go do your homework." You said as you let out a smile, telling her that it's okay.
"Well, now. Off you go! We still have dishes to do. Let's go, dear!" Your mother said as she held a stack of plates and went to the kitchen as Taehyung did the same.
With that, the three of you then proceeded your way to your sister's room, leading the way while Jungkook following from behind.
"So, what are your homeworks for today?"
"Just going to have an English recitation tomorrow." Taeyeon answered as she took out her textbook from her bag.
"Well, it doesn't seem that hard for you. You do know how to speak English well like I taught you before, right?" You said as the two of you sat down on the fluffy texture carpet beside her little table.
"Does this seem easy?" Taeyeon questioned as she handed you the book at a specific page.
"Of course it i-"

The Chaos
Gerard Nolst Trenité
Dearest creature in creation
Studying English pronunciation,
I will teach you in my verse
Sounds like corpse, corps, horse and worse.
I will keep you, Susy, busy,
Make your head with heat grow dizzy;
Tear in eye, your dress you'll tear;
Queer, fair seer, hear my prayer.
Pray, console your loving poet,
Make my coat look new, dear, sew it!
Just compare heart, hear and heard,
Dies and diet, lord and word.
Sword and sward, retain and Britain
(Mind the latter how it's written).
Made has not the sound of bade,
Say-said, pay-paid, laid but plaid.
Now I surely will not plague you
With such words as vague and ague,
But be careful how you speak,
Say: gush, bush, steak, streak, break, bleak ,
Previous, precious, fuchsia, via
Recipe, pipe, studding-sail, choir;
Woven, oven, how and low,
Script, receipt, shoe, poem, toe.
Say, expecting fraud and trickery:
Daughter, laughter and Terpsichore,
Branch, ranch, measles, topsails, aisles,
Missiles, similes, reviles...

Even just pronouncing the poet is hard...
"Is your teacher trying to kill you or something?" You questioned as you you finish skimming the poem quickly.
I mean like, they're just 6...
"And a long one too." Jungkook added as he also skimmed the poem behind you.
"But my teacher said that we'll just memorize half of the poem since it'll take a long time to finish." Taeyeon reminded.
"You should have said that from the start..." You and Jungkook thought as the both of you sighed.
"Anyways, you can do it. But, I'll just help you pronounce difficult words to pronounce."
"Well, how do you pronounce the name of the poet?" She questioned.
"Uh..."
Damn foreign names...
"Gerard Nols Trenité." Jungkook suddenly pronounced it perfectly.
"Gerard Nols Trim..." Taeyeon tried to pronounce it perfectly, but failed to do so.
"Just pronounce it like the word 'Trinity' but change the pronunciation of the first 'i' to 'e'." Jungkook adviced.
"Gerard Nols... Trenité?" Taeyeon tried.
"There." He confirmed, still in his bored expression.
"Yehet!" Taeyeon then cheered out of joy.
"Well, are there any words you want me to help you pronounce?" You asked.
"Nope, unnie! I'm just really not good at pronouncing foreign or weird names." Taeyeon replied cheerfully.
"Oh, is that so? Do your best on your recitation then, alright?" You responded with a smile while ruffling your little sister's hair.
"Ne~"
"Are we done yet?" Jungkook interrupted, bored.
"Of course not, idiot." You answered, annoyed.
"Yah! Just because you help me once doesn't mean I'm already going to respect you." Taeyeon said in her usual cutesy mad tone.
"And..." Jungkook paused as he went to little Taeyeon.
"I.Don't.Need.Your.Respect." He said as he lightly poked her nose with his index finger in each word he said.
"Kiddo." He added as he finished his final poke on her nose and then he let out a smirk.
"Unniiiiieeee, That monster is so mean to me~" Taeyeon said as she went and hug you, tears almost falling out from her eyes while speaking in a sobbing tone.
"Yah, Jungkook. You're so heartless." You said as you then comforted your sister while turning your back on Jungkook.
"Bll!" Jungkook then noticed Taeyeon sticking her tongue out at him while pulling down her eyelid, mocking him.
This little devil...
