'Hello everyone! I'm Hyejeong's girlfriend, Sana!'

What...?

When did I...

Get a girlfriend?

I just lost mine...

Hyejeong blinked.

The air between the four seemed to stop.

There were so many things wrong with what Sana said.

Wrong time. Wrong place. Wrong people.

Wrong assumption.

Hyejeong worriedly stared ahead at the two figures in front of her. 

Shock and confusion was written all over Jackson's face. His jaws were dropped to the floor, and his arms went limp. He seemed to be contemplating the fact why a girl from his company was sticking her nose in his affairs.

Her observation went back to herself.

Am I afraid?

Confused?

What is this i'm feeling...

Am I angry?

I'm just... lost...

Something moved, followed by a sensation.

In the corner of her eye, Hyejeong saw Sana pull herself around her arms, clinging onto her.

They were like a mirror of the couple opposite them.

Her eyes went to Seolhyun.

Hyejeong felt a wave of uneasiness in her heart.

Seolhyun was...

not over-reacting...

Her eyes were glued to the ground, and she was biting her lip.

Her fingers gripped tightly to Jackson's arms.

Hyejeong saw many things.

But none of those things were surprise.

If was almost if... she knew this was going to happen...

Kim Seolhyun...... I've had enough of you...

First of all you go dating the guy I cheated on you with... then you come back all apologetic trying to kiss me... then the next minute, all protective of you so-called boyfriend...

When I lost you I was so devastated... and yet you shone brightly a star. You make me feel unconfortable, make me feel forgotten. Swing round a corner and you try to kis me, try to love me.

I'm tired Seol...

I'm tired.

I've had enough of your games...

If that's how you want it...

She took a deep breath.

Kim Seolhyun i'm sorry...

'Whoa hold on?!' Hyejeong suddenly playfully blurted out, turning around to run Sana on the head, and in return the girl gave the cutest pout.

'When did I get a girlfriend of a sudden you little cutie.'

Seolhyun said nothing.

Sana was grinning and acting cute all over, but eventually she turned around to face the couple in front of her.

'Ohhhhhh hi! You must be Seolhyun! I've always wanted to meet you, Hyejeong unnie told me so much about you!'

Seolhyun gave an embrassed, yet modest nod.

'Anyways...' Jackson suddenly interjected. 'Me and Seolhyun actually have to go somewhere... so we'll be on our way now.'

Seolhyun looked at Jackson with teary eyes.

'C'mon babe,' Jackson said with a flick of his head. 'Time to leave.

Seolhyun paused for a moment, contemplating, then looked up and smiled.

With a smile and a wave, she and Jackson left, leaving the two alone.

'So...' Hyejeong said. 'Want to come in?'

'I'd love that unnie.'

There were just one or two members inside the dorm, and they had kept their quiet, doing their own things in their rooms. Quietly, Hyejeong led Sana to her room. And to Sana, it was a dream come true. Finally able to see where her lifelong idol lived.... it was like the present she never deserved. And after she entered Hyejeong's room, she was more delighted than ever. It was a small, yet cozy room. It was a little bit messy, with the occasional clothespile here and there, but that was precisely what made it cosy. 

As Sana slowly paced around the small room, taking in the atmosphere, she wondered what it would be like to spend a night there. Or possibly live there.

She smiled to herself.

'Hey...' Hyejeong purred.

Sana looked at Hyejeong, and the latter smiled back.

She gave a pat on the bed, signalling for Sana to sit next to her.

'Look...' Hyejeong said, holding Sana's small hands in hers.

Sana felt her heart stop.

'Thank you... for that back there.'

Sana smiled. 

'Anything for you unnie.'

'Hey! What did I tell you. Drop the unnie when we're alone. 

'Why?'

'Why!?'

'Yes unnie why?'

'Because! It's so formal...'

'I like calling you Hyunnie...'

Hyejeong chuckled.

'Sure then....'

'I'd do anything for you unnie.'

'Haha. I'd also do anything for my girlfriend~'

Sana suddenly became silent.

'...'

'Sana?'

'Hyejeong ah...'

Hyejeong gulped.

'Yea...?'

'What would you say...' Sana stammered.

'Is our relationship?'

'This?'

'Yes...'

'Well....' Hyejeong started, as she lightly touched her chin, deep in thought.

'You've helped me quite a few times now... usually where I need it most...'

Sana blushed.

'And I know you care for me... do you?'

Sana gave Hyejeong a cute wink, then blew a kiss.

'I guess.....'

Sana looked at Hyejeong with the anticipation of a little kid.

Hyejeong gave a smile.

That fantastic smile of hers.

'You're a little sister to me.'

Sana felt her blood run cold.

Sister?

After all... this?

I meant what I said earlier you know...

Hyejeong... I would give my life for you...

Why do you deny me!

Why won't you let me...

Love you...

Sana took a deep breath.

There was no sadness.

But pure anger, rage, fire.

Don't Minatozaki Sana don't... 

Or else everything you've done will turn to dust...

She shut her thoughts out, and put on her best smile.

The type of smile used at public events, to show off your brightest side.

That fake, coy smile.

'Aww.... I'm so lucky to be your little sister!' Sana exclaimed.

Hyejeong chuckled.

'You sure are. I don't have a lot of little sisters you know.'

She gave the smaller girl a rub on the head, which Sana accepted gruefully.

'I'm... going to the toilet okay? Make yourself comfortable...'

'Alright unnie...'

With a smile, Hyejeong got up and left, leaving Sana all alone to herself in the small room.

Ottoke?

Am I supposed to be your 'sister' forever?

Is that all I am to you?

The reason the one i'm not the one in your heart...

Is because there's someone else there...

So the only way is too...

Sana felt her brilliant mind go to work again.

Timidly, she stretched her ears, listening for any sounds.

Water was running inside the bathroom.

Is she... taking a shower?

Now's... my chance...

As if handling a toddler, she creaked open the doorknob, making sure not to make any noise, and stuck her head out.

There was no one.

Tiptoeing, she walked around the dorm, trying each door. After meeting Hyejeong and learning about her affairs, Sana had failed to think about anything else other than her. She wanted to know everything about her, including the people around her.

And all that information had not been in vain.

At the second door she opened, she found a teddy bear plushie, lying on the bed.

She smiled.

She had seen Seolhyun at the airport, holding that very bear.

Quietly she moved in the room, taking care to lightly close the door
