Chapter 3
She felt cold wet towel dabbed onto her cheeks and soft whisperings was heard from a distance. She tried to open her eyes and managed to do so after some time.
“She’s awake.” A woman’s voice was heard, along with soft caresses to Yeonhee’s hair. She looked up to find to whom the voice belongs to.
Yeonhee sat up slowly, trying to absorb her surroundings. She was in a small apartment with light blue paintings. She looked to the floor and saw 2 persons looking up at her in awe.
“Be careful,” the woman said, helping Yeonhee to sit up properly.
“Young girl. Don’t be afraid. We just happened to found you lying on the stairs in front of the apartment lobby, so we took you in,” the man said with a warm smile.
“Umma…oh, Yeonhee, you’re awake.” Yeonhee turned to her side to see Jonghyun holding a tray of food.
“You’re a mess. Who did this to you?” But the younger girl mainly shook her head.
“No, tell me, Yeonhee.” Jonghyun said warmly.
“I..just fell…” Yeonhee whispered. Jonghyun raised an eyebrow at her, shaking his head disapprovingly.

“Are you sure, you’re gonna be okay, now?” Jonghyun asked Yeonhee, looking up at the big house in front of them. Yeonhee turned at him and nodded
“Positive.” The bruised girl said, trying to smile though it hurts and she had to scrunch her face a bit to endure the pain. “Thanks for sending me home..safely. Goodnight, oppa…”
Jonghyun patted her shoulder softly. Yeonhee bowed to him before slowly making her way into her house.
Jonghyun watched as the young girl disappear into the entrance door. Poor girl. She didn’t deserve all this.

“Miss Yeonhee, you’re back…oh, my god..what hmpft-” the young maid was about to scream when Yeonhee cupped her hand onto her mouth.
“Listen..I’m okay.I just fell. Now, if you please escort me to my room and make sure none of the maids see me in this form because if they start calling umma and appa, I’m pretty sure they’ll be flying back here in a minute!” Yeonhee whispered to the maid. The maid nodded quickly and took a deep breath when Yeonhee lets go off her mouth.
“Come.” The maid took Yeonhee’s schoolbag leading her mistress to her room upstairs.
“Oh, Miss Yeonhee. You’re back.” The house’s butler jumped out of nowhere.
“Yes, Mr. Shin. I haven’t bathe so if you’ll excuse me, I’m heading to my room now.” Yeonhee said without turning around to face him.
“Why, yes, Miss Yeonhee. It’s your right after all. Good night.” The butler politely said, not forgetting to bow at the young girl who was his master’s youngest daughter. Yeonhee proceeded up the stairs very quickly.
As soon she was safe in her room, Yeonhee locked the door, ignoring the worried look on the maid’s face. She didn’t bother to turn on the lights, but simply ran onto her bed. She thought she would land onto the soft and fluffy bed, but instead it was a rather hard surface, but very warm indeed. Yeonhee’s hand quickly snapped the bedside lamp. Orange light lit up the room.
“Ow..!!” a manly voice was heard and she looked down to see her Kibum oppa underneath her.
“Oh, unnie..what were you doing in my room and in the dark?”
“What else can I do? I wasn’t allowed to come in. I’m not Gwiboon. I almost got kicked out by the guards and Mr. Shin. So, I opted to climb up via your window!” Kibum said, pushing his sister off him and sat up, rubbing his chest.
Yeonhee got to other side of the room, standing at a corner and not facing her brother.
“You wanna change?” Kibum asked.
“Uh? Y-Yes…”
“Just change. I’m still a girl anyway.”
“I’ll j-just go to the bathroom. I need to bathe. It’s so sticky now.” Yeonhee took her towel and carefully entered the bathroom.
Kibum heard the water tap being turned on and he simply lied back on her bed. All of the sudden, Yeonhee’s phone rang. He got up to her study table to pick it up. But, it was only a message sent by Jonghyun.
“Yeonhee-ah, you better put some ointment on the cut. Halmoni said do not cover it with plaster. It’ll make the healing faster. Good night. ^^”
“Ointment? Cut? What is he talking about?” Kibum asked himself. Seconds later, the bathroom door slid open, revealing a face-covered Yeonhee. Kibum walked to her and pulled at the towel.
“Unnie, no!!”
“Oh My God! Kim Yeonhee. What happened?” Kibum was practically cupping his sister’s cheek while blowing soft breaths on the nasty cuts and bruises.
“I fell, unnie. But, I’m okay now.” Yeonhee came up with a totally stupid reason that even a five year old could laugh at that.
“You think I’d believe that? Tell me, who is it?” Kibum made Yeonhee sit on the bed while he began searching for First Aid Kit in the room. “And where did you put the damn First Aid Kit?”
“On the top shelf.” She whispered timidly, afraid to raise the rage level in her oppa’s already burning self. When Kibum had got the First Aid Kit, he rushed it to Yeonhee’s side and began dabbing ointment on the cuts.
“Unnie…I-----I’m sorry..” Yeonhee tried to look at her oppa.
“Why are you apologising. It’s not like you’re the one who beats the hell out of someone.” Kibum said without looking into her eyes. He was angry enough that he could not look into the girl’s painful eyes. He knew she was begging him not to do anything by just giving him that pity look. He knew he would not be able to resist that look so he chose to ignore her.
“Unnie..unnie, please..Look at me.”
“No. And stop giving me that look. I won’t lose to you this time.” Kibum had decided. Yeonhee heaved a long sigh. So they remain silent until he was done with treating her.
Yeonhee lied her back to her bed, snuggling for her comforter, while Kibum stood up to keep the First Aid Kit back to the shelf. Yeonhee made space so her oppa could lie down next to her, but Kibum said he was staying at Jinki’s apartment tonight.
When Kibum hugged her goodbye, Yeonhee’s arms held Kibum’s waist tightly, while Kibum hugged her just as tight, kissing her temple.
“You’ll get your unnie back, I promise.” Kibum whispered, putting her back to bed. “Sleep tight, sis.”
Yeonhee didn’t reply but just let herself be cuddled to sleep.

The next morning, Kibum was in the kitchen of his new apartment cooking, when suddenly, he felt arms surrounded his waist, the back of his neck warm with Jinki’s breath.
“You smell nice..” Kibum heard him say.
“Excuse me?” Kibum spun around.
“Nothing..” Jinki rubbed their nose together before reaching for the top cabinet, searching for a glass. Kibum pouted a bit.
“Yeonhee’s beaten.”
“What?”
“You heard me.”
“Who did it?”
Kibum gave a shrug. “Gwiboon’s rival, maybe?” Kibum tried to make it sound not so obvious that she was burning when she imagined Jung Haeyoung’s face and her evil grin.
Jinki caressed Kibum’s shoulder softly. “Don’t worry too much. We’ll get that person. I’ll help you.”
Kibum gave a small smile. “Thank you.”
“I’m not doing it for free, you know.”
“What?”
Jinki closed his eyes and pursed his lips to him. “Kiss me.” Kibum looked at the lips with a desperate look. Gosh, why is he doing this to me?
Jinki opened an eye and saw Kibum closing in. “Hahahaha, got you!” Jinki backed away, clutching his stomach while laughing hysterically.
“I only want to kiss my Gwiboon~~!” his eyes became really small because he was laughing so hard.
“But what about yesterday?”
Jinki stopped laughing and looked into Kibum’s eyes. “I’m sorry..I-I shouldn’t have asked..” Kibum turned away from him, brushing what looked like little tears in his eyes.
“K-Kibum..you’re c-crying..” Jinki touched his shoulder, turning him to face him.
“I-I’m not..It’s nothing..I just got dust in-n---” Kibum could not continue when Jinki pulled him into a hug.
“I’m sorry if I made you misunderstood.”
Kibum buried his face in Jinki’s shoulder. He’s so warm.
