I actually created my family! Way back in 5000 BC
Yong Soo, this is not a creative writing assignment. I have trouble believing you are your own grandfather. Please stick to the facts and try again.
There are a lot of people in my family. There’s me, who despite being the youngest everyone looks up to, and Hyung Yao who loves me very much despite what he says or how he acts, and Kiku who really just wishes he could be me, and Mei who worries a lot but is really cool, and Kiet who’s pretty cool, but not as cool as me, and Hong who’s just kinda weird.
Yao is 20ish maybe. I don’t really know his really age. Anyway, he’s my oldest big brother and he takes care of us. He took me in when I was really little because my parents didn’t want me anymore, but that’s okay because I like living with Yao better than them anyway. Yao makes me sweets all the time and lets me have all sorts of cool things…but then yells at me for taking his stuff, which really was all mine to begin with. He keeps saying that I was a lot cuter before but I know he still loves me.
Kiku is 16 and he’s my brother too. He and Yao have started fighting a lot but Kiet says that’s just Kiku being an angsty teen. I created hormones so I’m just going to skip that part of growing up. Kiku used to play with me a lot, but he’s been playing with me less due to the growing up thing. He still lets me play all of his video games when he’s done with them though and I still read through all of the comics he has in his room that I wrote so he still have lots of fun together.
Mei is 15 and she’s my older sister. Since she’s a teenager too she and Yao have been fighting too but it’s not as bad. She likes flowers and has a garden in the backyard that’s really pretty. Sometimes I help her plant stuff because I invented gardening and afterwards she’ll usually take me out to lunch or out for ice cream if it’s too late for lunch which is always nice.
Kiet is 18 and he’s another older brother. He’s surprisingly fun to play with when he’s not busy studying. Kiet is really smart though and is going to become the best doctor in the world which makes sense because I invented medicine. He’s going off to college soon though, so I won’t get to play with him as much.
Hong is 10 and he’s older than me, but Yao found him later after he found me. I didn’t see him for a really long time though because Yao accidently lost Hong in an opium-induced gambling fit and he spent a lot of the past few years being raised by this Arthur guy something happened and Hong got lost. He ended up very far from home where a kind man named Arthur Kirkland took care of him for a while until he was able to return home. Nothing illegal happened, aru. Anyway, he doesn’t talk much and I have trouble figuring out what he’s thinking but he makes a lot of fireworks and lets me play with them too because I actually invented fireworks.
Sometimes Arthur comes to visit Hong. He brings us food, but it’s not very good and usually just makes me sick but Yao makes me eat it anyway. Arthur has magic unicorn fairy friends that play with me sometimes though, so he’s sorta cool.
Arthur brings by Cousin Alfred and Cousin Matt too. They’re not really my cousins and technically their Hong’s foster brothers but I call them cousin anyway. Alfred is 8 and Matt is 7 and they play some really weird games with Hong and me when they come over. Alfred is kinda bossy and stuff but he knows all of these cool sciency things and is fun to go exploring with. Matt is really quiet but is really smart and is fun to talk to. I like playing out with them but only me and Hong seem to. Kiku does sometimes and when he does that's really really fun!
And that’s my family! That I created with my own two hands.

Toris blinked and read through the essay again, although it was difficult with all the cross-outs. Eventually he sighed and gave him an A. Compared to some of the other writing assignments Yong Soo had handed in, this would be considered relatively normal.
