Chapter 2 A Sister Who's Better Than My Sister Jin Shiming took out paper and pen from his backpack. It only took him a few minutes to record the melody in his mind. "I don't know much about music. Is it really that easy to compose a song?" Suzuki Taichi couldn't help but sigh when he saw Jin Shiming write a song so smoothly. In entertainment news and variety shows, we occasionally see interesting stories about some music giants getting inspiration while going to the toilet and writing a song within a few minutes, but who knows whether there is any exaggeration in this? To take a step back, even if the rumors are true, they are definitely not as fast as Jin Shiming! "Every time I fall into a coma after an attack of narcolepsy, all kinds of inspirations will emerge in my mind. Unfortunately, some of the inspirations are incomplete, so I can only record them piecemeal and complete them later." Jin Shiming replied. According to his own speculation, perhaps it is because the brain is too active and the burst of inspiration requires a lot of energy, and the body's protective mechanism leads to the onset of narcolepsy. "You Chinese have an old saying, 'Misfortune is the foundation of good fortune, and good fortune is the root of misfortune.' It seems that your strange disease is not all bad." Suzuki Taichi said. "If possible, I hope to have neither blessings nor misfortunes, and live a simple and ordinary life!" Jin Shiming said sadly. He was about to close the notebook when his hand suddenly paused. After hesitating for a few seconds, he wrote a line on it: "Where are you?"
On the side of this line of words, Jin Shiming painted the butterfly in his memory. …… The plane landed at Incheon Airport. As soon as Jin Shiming and Suzuki Taichi picked up their luggage, the cell phone in his pocket rang. The note displayed on the screen was very long, "Our dearest sister, Sejeong", with a love heart at the end. Whenever Jin Shiming saw this string of notes that had been modified without permission, he would feel a little ashamed. But when he thought of the girl with smiling eyes, he had no intention of changing the note at all. Jin Shiming smiled unconsciously. He pressed the answer button and put the phone to his ear. "Oppa!" A high-pitched voice came from the phone, as if it was on speakerphone. Good, very energetic, I suggest towing an aircraft carrier! "Sejeong, I just got off the plane." Jin Semyeong moved the phone slightly away. After not contacting each other for a while, this girl's "high notes" have become higher and her breathing has become much steadier. This should be because she has strengthened her basic skills after his guidance. "Oppa, I'm here to pick you up! Are you surprised?" The girl's laughter was full of energy. "You're at the airport? Are you here alone or with Daoxian?" Jin Shiming asked with concern upon hearing this. He was really worried that this 16-year-old girl, who had just started high school, came to Incheon from Gyeonggi Province alone to give him a surprise. "Of course it's with my oppa. When he heard that you were coming back, he borrowed a car from a friend so that he could welcome you back." The girl noticed Jin Shiming's anxious tone and explained quickly. "Wait a minute, I remember Daoxian just passed his driving test this year, right?" Jin Shiming laughed angrily, "He hasn't driven a car many times, and he dared to take you to the Incheon Bridge?" "Oppa, what did you say? The signal here seems to be not very good. Go straight after you leave the airport. We will wait for you on the roadside!" After the girl contributed a poor acting, she hung up the phone in a panic. Jin Shiming sighed and put the phone back into his pocket. "She is the little girl you often mention, who is like your own sister?" Taichi Suzuki joked.
"Well, although we are not related by blood, in my eyes, Shizheng is my family!" Jin Shiming nodded. Jin Shiming's father is Chinese and works as a vocal teacher in a university. His mother is from the peninsula and is a professional dancer. The two met unexpectedly at a cross-border literary and artistic exchange meeting and quickly fell in love. After marriage, the two settled in China, but they would take time out every year to visit relatives on the peninsula. When Jin Shiming was ten years old, his family suffered a serious car accident on their way to the peninsula. His parents died on the spot, and only Jin Shiming, who was protected by his parents, survived. Before his parents' funeral was completed, some relatives who rarely visited the house came and competed to adopt Jin Shiming. But Jin Shiming knew very well that they did not really care about him, they were just greedy for the compensation after their parents' accidental death! In the end, Jin Shiming chose to return to the peninsula to live with his grandparents who had traveled thousands of miles to China. Since then, Kim Se-myeong has settled in Anyang City, Gyeonggi Province. Next door to my second elder family, there lived a large family with several children. Later, Jin Shiming learned from his grandparents that they were actually two families. The aunt of one of the families divorced her husband and brought her two children to live with relatives. It is also a coincidence that the girl who is four years younger than Kim Se-myeong is named "Kim Se-jeong", and their Korean names differ by only one character. The little girl is not delicate and pretty, but she has a pair of beautiful eyes when she smiles, which makes her very likable. "Oppa, our names are so similar, you are my real oppa, right?" "Oppa, can I sing a song for you? I sing really well, and the teachers at school all praised me!" "Oppa, Kim Do Hyun bullied me again. I don't want him as my stinky oppa anymore. Can you be my dear oppa?" "Oppa, when I grow up I will make a lot of money and buy a big house. Can you live with us?" Living under someone else's roof has honed the girl's optimistic, strong and kind character early on, and she is so sensible that it makes people feel distressed. Jin Shiming loves this "sister" very much. He often feeds her snacks, helps her with her homework, and fights with the children who bully her. Over time, the two became like real siblings, and even Kim Sejeong's biological brother Kim Do-hyun would occasionally complain that he felt like an unnecessary outsider. "Family? You must protect her well!" Suzuki Taichi said after a moment's silence, with a hint of regret in his eyes. He once had a girl whom he regarded as a family member, but he failed to protect her. "Mr. Suzuki, you are also my family! How about we follow the Taoist custom and have a toast to swear brotherhood some other day?" Jin Shiming patted Suzuki Taichi on the shoulder and said half-jokingly. "I welcome you to drink, but forget about the sworn brotherhood." Suzuki Taichi picked up his luggage and walked forward, "Let's go, don't keep us waiting, brother!" "It's just right that we should go drink and sing K together tonight. I really miss Suzuki Taichi singing the song 'Bakamitai (Like an Idiot)'." Jin Shiming followed with a chuckle. He may be unfortunate, having lost his parents at an early age. But he is also lucky because he has grandparents, Kim Sejeong and Suzuki Taichi and other family members. (End of this chapter)
