Seeing a guilty-faced Ji-Hoon, Yoo-Na sighed shaking her head. “I hate this.” she said swallowing hard. “I hate this suffocation you are creating between us.” she was about to take her hands away but he grabbed them tightly.
Raising her eyebrows, she looked at him. “I am sorry... I... did not know you will feel like this.” he sighed deeply. “Then let’s start it a new, both of us as friends, going on dates, no compatibility tests, no reasonings.” he was Hella scared to take this step with her which was out of his pretty-perfect-imagined-life but he knew it if he will not show others that he had moved on from the past then Tae-Hoon and Hani’s relationship would never progress.
Yoo-Na slightly smiled. “Ok, fine with me, then at the end of the first date you know girls can ask anything they want.” she got back to her usual self.
Ji-Hoon also smiled showing his dimples. “You can ask for whatever you want.” Snaping her fingers in excitement she said, “You can’t refuse me now.” she grinned at him.
After having a beautiful dinner Ji-Hoon dropped her at her home and of course, the chauffeur was there or else who would drive Ji-Hoon back home.
Both were standing outside the car now saying goodbye. “Girls might usually ask for something when they go on their first date but let me give you something instead.” she tiptoed and pressed her lips slightly onto his, making him widened his eyes.
He was shocked and could not move an inch, his heart was beating at an inhuman rate and Yoo-Na pulled away from him and winked at the dumbfounded-cum-flustered guy.
“Bye.” she said in a whisper which sent shivers down his spine and she walked away from there.
~End of Flashback~
Ji-Hoon told everything to Dong-Hoon except the kiss. “So, you are doing this only for Tae-Hoon.” Ji-Hoon nodded his head in agreement and Dong-Hoon was looking at him with an ‘I am so done with you’ face.
“Look, both of us know that Tae-Hoon feels guilty towards you and would never accept this marriage until he sees you with someone else, but it does not mean that you should force yourself into an unwanted relationship.” Dong-Hoon made him understand with worry clearly written on his face.
“Big bro, I know what you are trying to say but I can’t help and do this and I have taken this decision after a long brainstorming session.” Ji-Hoon again started with his reasonings and Dong-Hoon just shook his head in disapproval. “What if in the end, you regret.” he asked.
Ji-Hoon was silent for a few seconds. “I just know, I will not.” he nodded his head with determination.
“Ok, then I will ask you one last question.” Dong-Hoon said raising eyebrows and Ji-Hoon hummed to let him continue. “Would you have done the same if it was someone else, I mean some other girl and not Yoo-Na?” and here we go again with a hesitant Ji-Hoon.
“No.” he said almost in a whisper and he himself did not know why but if it was some other girl, he would not have taken this step. Dong-Hoon finally smiled. “Then I am fine with it, just don’t do something that will hurt anyone.” he patted his back.

~Next day in the morning at Park’s~
Yoo-Na was dancing like a crazy monkey, shaking her booty from left to right while standing on the coffee table in the living room in her purple satin pajamas and the music was blasting that it could tear one’s eardrums apart.
Suddenly a pillow was thrown in her direction which perfectly hit her beautiful face but she was so happy that she did not mind that and kept dancing with full excitement. Yoo-Jin groaned in annoyance, he was a mess right now with his puffy eyes and cheeks and rumpled hair. He went towards the sofa to find the remote to close the blasting speakers but could not find it.
“SIS, PLEASE STOP IT.” he screamed at the top of his lungs but Yoo-Na was in her own world.
Clenching his jaw, he refrained himself from cursing at her and moved towards the speaker making a weird face because of the musical waves directly hitting his eardrums.
He pulled the plug out of the socket and as soon as he did, he felt as if his ears were in paradise. “so quiet.” he said to himself, feeling ecstatic.
“Park Yoo-Jin, how dare you.” Yoo-Na shouted placing her hands on her hips with furrowing eyebrows and pursed lips.
“What, who in the world blast music like this at six in the morning. I was sleepingggg.” he whined like a child. “You should insert cotton balls in your damn ears and by the way I was so happy that I could not control myself.” she again started to move her hips even without music.
“What in the world happened that made you so happy?” Yoo-Jin asked rubbing his eyes.
“I kissed Ji-Hoon, no, no, no, no, I kissed The Shim Ji-Hoon.” she squealed with excitement.
“Oh ok... Whattttt!” not believing his ears Yoo-Jin shouted. “Yesss, you heard absolutely right and we will be soon going on another date.” her moving hips still did not stop.
“Are you fine, I mean are you sick or you may be hallucinating?” Yoo-Jin asked to confirm. “You shortie, are you trying to put a curse on my love life.” she stopped moving and picked up the pillow from the floor and threw it at him.
He was already feeble because of sleepiness and fell down on his butt with a harsh blow. “Ohhh, sis, what in the world.” he was groaning rubbing his butt, now in complete consciousness.
“Why do you hate my butt so much.” he stood up taking the pillow and ran after her. She screeched and ran away from there and their chasing game was going on when their parents also came into the living room as well.
“They are just like you.” Hae-Mi said to her husband.
“no, they are like you.” Yoo-Chun retorted.
“no, like you.” “like you” “like you” “like you”
And along with the siblings, parents also started their own rumpus, and just like that, the morning was spent in the Park’s household.
