Beep Beep
Yoo Na snaps her head away startled by the horn, seeing the car she had been waiting for approaching her, she jolts up just to stumble a step, Yeong Jae chuckles watching her but she runs towards the car and gets her inside.
She looks slightly out of the window to see him still standing there and watching her, she snaps her head back, "Uncle, move!" She yells while the old man frowns but nonetheless, he nods starting the engine and driving away.
Yeong Jae remains silent as he eyes the car disappearing away, "Ah, I just can't see her in trouble. Why do I feel so responsible...?" He shakes his slightly damp hair and walks to his car. Getting inside his car he sighs, buckling himself up he drives back home.

"Today, you are coming with me!" Joo Hyeok says in desperation holding onto his son who has been denying his proposal again and again. "I said no, dad!" He retorts back shaking his head no, Joo Hyeok sighs slightly loosening his hold against Yeong Jae's arms.
"I thought... leave it. I will just go alone..."Joo Hyeok mumbles making a sad face, he indeed was trying to play his helpless card to have his son give in but hearing his reply surely had Joo Hyeok disappointed, "Sure, then. I will head to my room."
"Yah!" Joo Hyeok yells with a scoff, he shakes his head in disbelief, "They had asked to meet him... now, what do I say?" He sighs massaging his forehead while his eyes remained stuck on the door.
"I think I have to postpone the date."
He fondles around his pockets and pulls out his phone from his pocket, he opens the lock and scrolls down the call log. Then he presses a number, "Hello, sir?"
"I want you to deliver the news to the Park family to postpone the date for the dinner, I don't think I can make it today." He says everything he needs in one sentence, hearing an 'okay, sir.' from the other side he pulls the phone back from his ear and hangs up.
"Such a haste." He mumbles shaking his head while he walks upstairs into his room.

"Yoo Na! Listen to me! Go and change your clothes!!" Seokjin yells running after Yoo Na who has been messing around with him ever since she walked inside the door.
"It's already warm, no need! I am hungry give me food!" Yoo Na yells running around the couch with Seokjin standing just opposite her, "Aish! Go and take a shower and I will have aunt prepare something."
Yoo Na stops running around, "Hmm, then... I will go freshen up. Bye!" Yoo Na says waving her hand and turning around, "Wait!" Jin yells making her startled. Seokjin runs towards her making her yelp in surprise, "What happened?" She questions taking a step back.
Jin squints his eyes and grabs both of her hands in him bringing them close to his eyes, "How? How did you get hurt?" He inquires with his eyes stuck on her hands scanning them properly. "I-I..uh, it just happened." She says chuckling awkwardly.
She tries to pull her hands away but he tightens his holds around her wrist making her winch, "Who did the first aid? It doesn't seem properly done." Seokjin said making Yoo Na gulp, she looks at him with a forced smile, "I tried to apply on my own...but couldn't, haha." She makes up a lie but he kept frowning.
"Come here." He says pulling along with him to the couch, he makes her stay on the couch. He then walks to the cabinet by the corner and takes out a first aid kit, he returns back to her and sits beside her.
"I do not like when you hide things from me." He mumbles without giving her a look but instead, he busies himself with preparing ointments. He pulls out a little patch of cotton from the bundle and dabs the antiseptic on it.
"I am sorry." Yoo Na mumbles hanging her head low.
"You know, I wouldn't force you to say anything but you are my sister and I know you better... I can see through your lies." He mumbles looking straight at her while he gently grabs her wrist, but Yoo Na saw Yeong Jae's face.
She shakes her head trying to dismiss her thoughts and most probably his face. "Are you even listening to me?" Seokjin questions frowning at her, Yoo Na blinks her eyes and chuckles with her head moving to the side not wanting to let him see her flushed face.
"Yeah, I just had something on my mind." Yoo Na says trying to avoid his questions.
"Ahh, brother...gentle." Yoo Na hisses at the burning sensation around her wound, "Okay, I will be gentle." Again, her mind took her to the moment when she heard those words from him. She groans shaking her head but these weird acts of her got Jin's attention.
"What are you doing? Do not move and let me do." Yoo Na flashes an apologetic smile and stays still, "You had a hard day?" Jin questions all of a sudden which had her baffled, she didn't know what to say so she just nodded her head.
"Did they bully you?" She looks up at him, "I fought back and they got detention for a week!" Yoo Na says flashing a smile and showing her bruised hand to him, she didn't want to lie but she just couldn't tell him everything. She knew he would be sad and worried for her which she disliked.
"I can see." Jin chuckles throwing the piece of cotton away and grabbing the small bandaids, he slowly takes the wrappers away and wraps them over her big bruises. Once done with the bandages he packs the first aid kit, Yoo Na plays with her hand and scratches the wrappers, "It's hello kitty."
Jin looks at her and smiles, "Yeah, I thought you would love it." He laughs making her smile. "It's really cute." She mumbles looking at her bandaids. "Do not take a shower now and just change your clothes. " Jin mumbles grabbing the kit and walking back to the cabinet and keeping it in.
"Okay, tell aunt to prepare pancakes! I am super hungry!" Yoo Na says walking upstairs while Jin walks towards the kitchen.

"Honey, today's dinner had been postponed." Chan Ho walks towards his wife and sits beside her, Soo Min sighs nodding her head. "Honey, I heard his son is very arrogant and... rude." Chan Ho speaks again as Yeong Jae has been the subject matter they had been talking about.
"So what? We just need to grab this opportunity. Who cares how he is?" Soo Min says scoffing at her husband's words, "Hmm, but wouldn't she have a hard life." Chan Ho thinks for a bit, how hard he tries to be but seeing Yoo Na, and that very face reminds him of his daughter.
"Do you care for her? She is nothing but a mere girl trying to steal our daughter's position, I would prefer to see her suffering every day."
Chan Ho sighs, "I know."
"So? Should we talk about it with Mr. Shin? He seems to like her." Soo Min says with a brow raised, "Do you think he will agree?" He questions anticipating her opinion.
"Moreover, it is already her legal age to get married. He might."
