Thongchai sighed, realizing his point didn't quite get across to the younger boy. He looked to Beverly, sharing a glance with her that seemed to say He seems hopeless... Kasem lingered near Beverly, still giving glares to Caden even though the other boy wasn't paying attention anymore.
"I'm usually hard to find anyway." He told her, grinning at the fact he got her bewildered, having fun teasing her, even if just a little. "I almost never hang out in the same place." He admitted.
JiSeok's eyes softened, "I'm just seriously worried, Rochelle... What if it's something serious?" He told her, a hand on her thigh, but he otherwise seemed at a loss as to what to do.
"Something?" GenShi asked, tilting her head to the side, curious as to what it was. With a smile, and seemingly oblivious as to what it could possibly be, she added a simple, "Sure!"

"Just forget it, Chai. I'll talk to my mom about it later." Beverly told him, calling him back to join her and Kasem again, who's shoulder her hand was over now to help calm him down some more.
Elisabeth raised one of her brows at him curiously. "So I see." she giggled, "And where exactly would I be able to find you at school. At least for lunch, I mean." she gave a slight shrug.
Rochelle shook her head, though her eyes still obviously showing pain in them. "I'm fine. Really. I mean, I've had these pains before." she winced at another sharp pain. "...just a stomachache..really....no--ah, no hospital."
Bayne nodded at her question, grinning wider when she accepted the offer. "Awesome. We'll have to get dressed into something much nicer than these casual clothes anyway." he teased, kissing her nose gently. "Even though you're already beautiful the way you are now."

Thongchai let out a final sigh, returning to the two. "Don't let people bug you, okay Kasem?" He reminded his brother, patting him on the shoulder. Kasem just nodded, seeming to have tears in his eyes, but refusing to let them fall. He pointed to Jayson, "He's nice." He said simply. "We were play." Thongchai resisted the urge to correct his brother like he so often did, figuring now would not be a good time to do so. "Thanks for helping me take care of this."
"I move." Aeron replied simply. "Though my class before lunch is P.E. so it's normally somewhere near the locker rooms." He gave in.
JiSeok bit his lip, but complied. "Well, maybe we should just rest in the car, then? I swear I won't drive anywhere." He unlocked the doors, then made a show of putting his keys back in his pocket. "Please? I'm worried about you."
"Smooth," GenShi replied casually, smirking at her boyfriend. "Alright, I'll make sure to dress up tonight. When will you come to get me?"

Beverly noticed the tears in Kasem's eyes which he refused to let fall, and kneeled down to his level to give him a hug. "You know, its alright to cry sometimes. You don't have to be brave all the time." she mentioned to him, looking over to where he pointed next. "Ah. Yeah, Jayson's much more fun to play with. A bit younger than you, but still a lot nicer." Beverly patted Kasem on the head before standing back to her feet again nodding to her boyfriend in response.
"Ah." Elisabeth nodded. "I'll have to come look for you sometime. Do you...um, do you eat alone normally?" she asked, hesitating a bit before, not sure if that was the right question to ask.
Rochelle groaned a little more, though that one was more of annoyance than anything. "Fine." she settled, struggling to get herself back in the front seat. As soon as she was sitting, she pushed back her chair forcefully so she could lay more flat. Though that wouldn't help much anyway as she curled her legs back up to her chest in a tight little ball. "Fuck..." she cursed again in pain. "I..I don't know what's wrong. I--" she stopped, then holding up her finger to JiSeok, she opened her side of the door again, leaned outside and began throwing up her late breakfast.
Bayne chuckled, kissing GenShi's temple before replying back as casually as can be, "Expect me around six."

Kasem wiped his eyes, "I'm not crying..." He protested, a pout still visible on his lips. He nodded, giving Beverly a small smile, "I don' care that he's younger, he's nice."
Aeron smirked, "Only most of the time. Normally BaoChen or Loreto will hang out with me." He explained with a shrug.
JiSeok fidgeted in his seat, getting really worried about his girlfriend. As she left, he watched her curiously until she began vomiting. He averted his eyes, not able to watch. Closing his eyes tight, he tried to stop his heart from beating so fast. Rochelle... I'm worried about you...
"Will do." GenShi said with a smile. Looking around with a small sigh, she watched as her siblings were interacting with their own friends/significant others in the Black Family. "Then... What should we do now?"

Instead of arguing with him, Beverly simply shook her head lightly and looked back over at her youngest brother now digging in the sandbox. "Yeah, I guess that's always best for friendship, huh?" she giggled, rubbing Kasem's back lightly. "Why don't you go play with Jayson now? I'll keep an eye on Caden and make sure he doesn't bug you anymore."
"Oh." Elisabeth said simply. "Well, still, I wouldn't mind sitting with you even if you are with your brother, and friend." she grinned. Until she realized something just then. "Wait...isn't Loreto that friend you told me about? About liking him more than a friend?" she was more curious now than anything.
Once Rochelle was finally finished vomiting, she gave a couple extra spits so as to get rid of the nasty flavor before sliding back in the car. She laid back down on her flattened seat, and curled up in a ball. She looked worse than ever now. Her hair messier, and her face paler. "JiSeok..." she finally whispered, "What the fuck is wrong with me?" her tone was getting more shaky as she spoke even. Something was indeed wrong.
Bayne looked around the park as well, with his arm still around GenShi. He saw Elisabeth interacting with Aeron, Beverly with her own boyfriend, Eric and Jaela still messing around out in the field, Caden wandering around the park kicking rocks and Jayson digging holes in the sandbox. He furrowed his brows just then. Someone was missing. "Fuck." he cursed unexpectedly, realizing just now that Rochelle was missing from the group.

Kasem smiled, giving his eyes a final wipe before running off and asking Jayson if they could play together. Thongchai couldn't help but smile as he watched his brother. Furrowing his eyebrows, he seemed a bit worried about something. Blush forming over his cheeks, he muttered, "Beverly, we're only fourteen, but we acted like their parents..." He said, seemingly seriously worried about the situation. He shook his head. "We can't act like parents anymore, okay?" He said with a small laugh.
"Yeah, fine whatever." Aeron muttered to her request to sit with them. Aeron's eyes narrowed as she mentioned his feelings toward Loreto. "What of it?" He growled stubbornly.
JiSeok stared at his girlfriend with a worried but soft look. "Now can we go to a doctor?" He begged her, still worried about what could be wrong. There were too many possible things he'd heard about recently that if left untreated could kill someone. He didn't want to risk losing Rochelle.
GenShi looked up at Bayne curiously when he swore. "What's the matter?" She asked him, looking around and trying to see what he saw.

Jayson noticed Kasem returning over to him, and his smiled glowed wider with pride as he waved him over to help him build a sandcastle. Beverly bit her lip slightly, "Mm..yeah, I guess we should stop that. It's kind of creepy, actually." she gave a light chuckle. "I mean, we're supposed to be focused on us having fun together...not on taking care of little kids." she laughed out a bit louder, and cuddled closer to Thongchai again, wrapping her arm around his waist and kissing his cheek.
Elisabeth's eyes widened and her cheeks burned a brighter shade of pink then. Maybe this wasn't the right time. "I-I was just wondering how it was going with you two. Y-you don't have to answer if you don't want. I was just curious." she quickly filled in lastly, looking down again.
Rochelle furrowed her eyebrows again. She really didn't feel like seeing a doctor over some stomach flu she had going on. Yes, she has been having them more frequently than before, but that wasn't something she wanted to tell JiSeok. He was already scaring her with all this worry he was showing. Rochelle groaned, finally giving in. "Fine. We can go to a doctor." she said simply, clutching around her stomach again as pains started shooting up her again.
Giving one last look across the park, Bayne looked back to his girlfriend. "Rochelle's missing." he said simply, taking one more glimpse around. "The last place I saw her was over on the swings texting her boyfri---wait." he took a moment to think of where she could possibly be. "Of course." he groaned, "I bet you anything she ditched the picnic to be with her boyfriend." he told her, really pissed off now. He sighed then. "I swear, she can't stay at a fucking family picnic for two seconds."

Kasem happily joined Jayson, helping him build a sand castle. "When I live in Thailand, this was one of my favorite game." He told Jayson happily. "Though my daddy would normally make them for me." He added with a laugh. Thongchai nodded in agreement with Beverly, still watching Kasem. Able to hear his brother, his eyes clouded over a little in reminiscence. I forgot how much Kasem can still remember mom and dad... He thought, feeling a little envious, as it had been ten years since their parents had given him up, and only about four since Kasem had been given up. He nuzzled closer into Beverly, feeling a little more vulnerable than he'd wanted to.
Aeron looked to the ground, trying to get his hair to cover up the blush he felt forming on his cheeks. "We're... there's nothing to talk about..." He replied simply, trying to shove the question away harshly like he normally would, but his voice staying soft.
JiSeok muttered a frustrated but still kind "thank you" as he started the car. Throughout the drive to the hospital, he kept giving Rochelle worried glances, seeing she was in pain still.
GenShi couldn't help but smile, "It happens. I have a cousin who's the same way. Some family members are just more stubborn than others." She told him, kissing him on the cheek lightly.

"Really?" Jayson asked, almost surprised that Kasem rarely ever built his own sandcastle. "But building your own sandcastle is sooo much more funner!" he laughed, tossing small handfuls of sand over his head causing it to land in his already messy brown hair. Beverly noticed Thongchai move in closer, snuggling into her more as if she were a security blanket of some sort. She let out a small giggle, hugging Thongchai back and kissing the corner of his lips. "You okay, baby?"
Elisabeth nearly sat straight up when Aeron began explaining, but her smile faded again when he changed his words. "O-oh." was all she said. "That's fine, I was just curious." she bit her lip, and looked around thinking of a way to get out of this awkward conversation. "Um, so, you hungry? My mom made this really yummy 5-layer dip that her mom showed her." she said, reaching over for a chip or two and scooping some of the bean dip onto the chip and into her mouth, licking her lips after.
All Rochelle could do during the drive to the hospital was continue to moan and groan in pain, her arms still clutched around her middle. "Fuck!" she cursed every now and then whenever another sharp pain came to her. "What the hell is wrong with me?" she mumbled out a few seconds later, looking down at her stomach. She had a possible idea of what it could be. But she shook that out of her head before thinking of it any further. It couldn't be. They've used condoms most of the time. And even if they didn't...missing one time wouldn't do much, could it?
"Yeah.." Bayne rolled his eyes, not taking his eyes off the spot where he last spotted Rochelle. "Still...with Rochelle..." he groaned a little louder, looking back to GenShi again. "It's just so annoying with her. She's like a child sometimes...Then again.." he shrugged his shoulders with a smirk showing across his lips, "She's still in the beginning of her college years...Stupid freshman...even sophomores sometimes." he chuckled.

Kasem laughed and nodded, "I was young when it happened!" He defended himself with a laugh. He began helping Jayson pile the sand up, not able to help but smile as he had a new friend. Thongchai smiled at her weakly. "I'm okay..." He assured her. He bit his lip, swallowing tears before he explained, "It's just I'm a little jealous... Kasem he... He got to spend six years more than me with our biological parents." He let out a small laugh, "I'm a little jealous of him, to be honest." He added.
Aeron looked over, his stomach finally reminding him they were both here to eat. "Oh sure, I'd love to try it..." He said, seeming enthusiastic about it. After dipping a chip in and putting it into his mouth, his eyes seemed to sparkle, "This." He began, waiting until he finished before continuing. "This is seriously amazing."
JiSeok seem to skid into the parking lot and helped her out of the car. "I know you don't want to be here, I really don't either." He finally admitted. "I just don't want you hurt."
GenShi nodded, still understanding. She looked to HeuSeoh. "I know. Freshman can be bratty. They think they're all grown up now that they're in college, but then they either won't leave you alone or begin rebelling." She agreed, also thinking of her cousin. She glanced over to Aeron. "I don't even want to know how he's going to be in college. High school was bad enough..."

Jayson laughed, and continued piling up sand, making the first part of the castle. Beverly furrowed her eyes slightly, a bit worried. "Oh. I'm sorry, babe." She said, as she put her arms back around him for a warmer hug. She really didn't know what else to say, without making the conversation any more awkward that is. So she simply just kept her arms around him and kissed the top of his lips softly, showing her love.
Elisabeth grabbed another chip herself, deciding to have a bit more of that bean dip as well. After swallowing, she noticed Aeron's face light up from his first taste of it. "Isn't though?" she laughed, grabbing another handful of chips and dipping each one in a little bit at a time. "I still yet to learn how she makes such awesome dip." she giggled, munching on another chip.
Though Rochelle didn't seem like she was listening to JiSeok, she was. She was just too busy worrying about herself..as usual, when they finally skidded to a stop in front of the hospital. "God, I really don't want to be here." she repeated, leaning on JiSeok all the way inside. "I just want to get in, find out what the hell is wrong with me, and get out. You hear me?" she ordered, feeling a bit irritable at the moment.
Bayne laughed along with her. "Seriously." he rolled his eyes back over where Aeron and Elisabeth were again, munching on chips now. "Yeah...I don't think I'll have to worry about Elisabeth too much. Then again, you never know. College has the tendency to change people and their ways." he chuckled, nudging her shoulder playfully. "It's changed me in a way, that's for sure."

((I'm gonna start ignoring Jayson/Kasem. They seem to be in a good place and I'm feeling a bit lazy.)) Thongchai smiled a weak but pure smile, "Thanks. I didn't mean to get emotional." He said softly. He wasn't sure if he had ever told Beverly what happened to him, and how he wasn't ever actually "adopted," but bought.
Aeron took a handful of chips, pointing one at Elisabeth. "You should learn. Your boyfriend will be hooked. Even if he already is." He joked playfully.
"I got it, I got it." JiSeok said simply, helping her inside. "Thank you for cooperating with me."
GenShi nodded, "I understand, but I don't feel like I've changed a lot." She laughed softly. "But maybe it's because I don't notice? I see all my siblings, but never me."

((fine by me, lol.)) "It's fine." Beverly softened her smile at him, her arms still wrapped around him tightly. "But..." she was curious about one thing though, "If you don't mind me asking...why exactly did Kasem get to spend six more years with your parents than you?" She didn't mean to make the conversation even more emotional, it was her curiosity that got the best of her, really.
Elisabeth couldn't help but laugh even harder at that comment. "Oh believe me, he already is." she grinned, dipping another chip before tossing it into her mouth with a loud crunch. "Although...I'm sure if I made him some of this dip as fabulous as my mom does, I can almost guarantee how glued to me he'd be then." she teased lightly, grabbing another small handful of chips to dip.
Rochelle repeated her usual cursing and gripping at her stomach long enough before they approached the front desk. "Can I help you guys?" the nurse asked, in her sweet tone. "Get me a doctor..." Rochelle growled under her breath, "Now....Please, now." Her cheeks began to puffer up then; she had started to feel queasy again.
"True." Bayne chuckled. After all, it wasn't like he noticed how much he's changed through his college years. The only reason why he said he did was because of what his own family had told him. He leaned over to kiss GenShi's lips once more, "I'm sure you've changed a little though...You've definitely gotten more beautiful and sexy." he teased, nuzzling himself in the crook of her neck, kissing it repeatedly.

Thongchai took a deep breath, he had been preparing for this since he started this conversation. Now that they were older, he understood it better, he wasn't mad at his parents anymore. He may have been a little jealous, but he wasn't mad at Kasem anymore. "When I was born... My parents were having a hard time. They had just moved into the city and didn't have a lot of money. They tried to give me a better life but just ended up in debt." He began. "When they found out they were going to be having another child, they didn't know what to do." He lowered his gaze, not able to bring himself to look at Beverly during what was probably the most shameful part of his life. "I was sold to a brothel when I was four." His breath caught in his throat. "It was then I contracted HIV. When they found out, they kicked me out, and I ended up in a back alley brothel. Momma found me when I was about six. She... She bought me first, then went through the proper paperwork to adopt me." He kicked at a rock by his feet, trying to look at Beverly to get an idea of what kinds of emotions she had, but couldn't bring himself to lift his head.
Aeron laughed. "The way to a man's heart is always through his stomach. He could be head over heels in love and not actually fall for you until you feed him." He told her confidently. "Me personally? I'll be won over when I find someone who can make European coffee from hand." He joked.
JiSeok held onto her protectively, and he was happy to see it wasn't long until they were called in. Looking around, he was thankful they came when the emergency room wasn't busy.
GenShi couldn't help but smile. It was true, she had begun wearing more skirts and skinny jeans rather than her usual baggy clothes or sports wear. "You're lucky." She said with a giggle. "I used to really be a tomboy. Short hair, all my clothes came from HeuSeoh. "I knew you were stealing my clothes." HeuSeoh piped in, his phone in his hand as he appeared to be waiting for a text message. "Leave us alone." GenShi warned. HeuSeoh smirked, "Hey Bayne, just cause you've won over mom doesn't mean you'll win over GenShi's protective brothers." "Only you and Junsu seemed concerned about me dating." GenShi retorted, pushing him slightly. "Thongchai's too young, someone's gotta worry, right?" HeuSeoh smirked, "Besides, what if you guys plan to do that?" "Don't say something I can easily push right back at you." GenShi said calmly. HeuSeoh blinked a couple times, then blushed and backed away. "We wouldn't..." He began. "Ka (go)." GenShi seemed to hiss at him, and he once again returned to whatever he was doing, leaving them alone. "I think he's going to interrupt us, often." She told Bayne, making a face.
