Starred Up

Deen, a seven year old boy, arrives in Korea with his mother Mia. With a strong determination to raise her son properly, Mia ensures Deen lacks no love in his life. In her spare time, Mia is a huge fangirl of the Korean boy group, TNT. But in an unexpected twist of fate, the mother-son duo end up being the neighbors of D3, another legendary boy group, which happens to be TNT's biggest rival. D3 consists of the short tempered Taewon, gentle Joon Jae and the goofy Jan. On top of that, Mia is hired as the personal designer for TNT, which consists of the charismatic leader Soo-Yon and the playboy maknae Cheng. Despite the rocky start, Mia and her son grow closer to all the members of both the groups. With time, the members realize they have fallen in love with the same woman, disrupting each group's dynamics. Furthermore, the origins of the hostility between the two groups resurface, making everyone involved question the decision they made a decade ago. As secrets unfold, the members vie for Mia's affections, Deen observes that she has eyes only for one of them. But which one of them will she choose? Note: Please note that the cover is not my original one. This is simply a random fanart I got on the internet. I'll upload an original cover as soon as its ready! Thank you for understanding.

Deen-Words Can Sting

'Kid, do you love attracting trouble? Didn't you tell your mother about last time?' he shouted at me.

'If I had told her, she would have fired the lady,' I shot back. 'And it'll only add to my mother's burden. She'd have to juggle between looking after me and her job. She might even quit her job if she found out that I've been left alone at home.'

'Unbelievable! So you are home alone? Again? That babysitter is only gonna keep repeating this! What if you get into trouble?'

'I won't! I just don't want Mee to leave her work for me.'

'Oh and you think she'll be happy if you fall in danger?' he asked angrily. 'Kid, you are burdening your mother more by putting yourself in danger.'

As usual, his words stung. But I knew he was telling the truth. I lowered my head in shame.

'I'm sorry,' I said, looking down.

Angry ahjusshi took a deep breath. Suddenly, my stomach growled.

'Did you even eat?' He asked.

'The babysitter made some soup noodle before she left, but it was spoilt,' I said.

The ahjusshi gave me an incredulous look. He picked up his guitar and stood up.

'Come on,' he beckoned, heading towards my house. 'I'll make you something to eat.'

'Why don't we go to your place then?' I asked.

'Because,' he said. 'Jan is crying in there.'

'Why?'

'His new girlfriend dumped him, that's why.'
