Minho twitched his eyes as he felt the soft sunlight hit on his face, indicating that the morning had come. His lips formed into a lazy smile as he stirred his body to stretch himself like the usual morning only to realize that his left hand was immobile. Frowning, Minho decided to open his eyes.

Hair. It was the hair of someone the first thing he saw as soon as he opened his eyes. Confused, Minho tried to adjust his view against the bright light before he began to rage his brain thinking of what was happening to him right now.

Beers. Yes beers. He drank it with Sulli last night. In her room, they drank together and they talked. And... And... Ugh Minho couldn't remember but... 

! Last night in Sulli's room. Her bed. Hair. Oh ! So this was Sulli's hair and he was currently lying on the bed with her as he draped his arm around her waist comfortably from behind.

"!" Minho muttered as he realized he was spending the night with Sulli and on her bed. But much to his relief, he saw that they still had their clothes from the last night on and Minho assumed that nothing happened between them other than they just shared a bed and cuddled in sleep.

Seeing Sulli was still asleep so soundly, Minho carefully tried to remove his arm from under her head. She moved a bit, softly in her sleep and Minho held his breath.

After some minutes of carefully prying himself off Sulli and tried not to wake her up, Minho managed to jump off the bed with a big sigh of relief. He put the cover on her before making his way out of her room silently.

Minho drank the water he fetched from the fridge and began to recall the event from last night. That couldn't be. Why didn't he remember anything at all? He wasn't drunk, was he? Because there was no way he got drunk just by a few cans of beers. But then again, if he wasn't drunk, why couldn't he remember?

Minho sighed frustratingly and decided if he couldn't remember then don't bother to think anymore. He was sure that he didn't do anything weird or wrong towards his stepsister.

Minho massaged his temples. "Aish! Hangover. I shouldn't have drunk last night."

+  +  +  +

Sulli woke up with a feeling of thirsty. She stretched her arms and legs before rolling off the bed, her feet instantly landed on an empty can of beer on the floor.

"Right! I drank with Minho last night." Sulli said and yawned, making her way out of her bedroom to find the water to save her life. She grabbed a bottle of cold water from the fridge with a satisfied smile. She opened the cap and drank it directly from the bottle mouth.

Her eyes suddenly got widened as the bottle of water slipped off her hand. "No way... No no... It couldn't be happening."

Sulli ran back to her room and closed the door. She began to pace around to calm herself down but she couldn't. The more she thought about it, the more the images were so clear, the more she remembered that moment had happened for real.

They kissed. Minho kissed her last night and she didn't push him away, instead she responded him with all her will and they ended up spending like a few minutes to do none talking but kissing.

"Oh Choi Sulli, you are crazy! How did you allow Minho to kiss you! He is your stepbrother, you dummy. You should've hit him or kicked him." Sulli scolded herself and banged her head on the bed. "Now how am I supposed to see him around the house? How!" She cried. "Ahhh otteoke? Otteoke?!?!"

Flashback from last night

Minho opened the second beer for himself. "Taemin and I went to the same high school. He was my junior but we got closer and became friend so quickly because of school projects we had participated. We got along quite good and well, he was a good friend though." He took a sip of the beer. 

"Was?" Sulli asked because Minho used the past simple to refer Taemin 'was' a good friend to him. "You guys are no longer friends now? Why?"

Minho shrugged. "I'm not sure of that too but well, you can say so because we had a big fight and even before we could reconcile, he moved to Japan."

That got Sulli curious. She sipped her beer before continued her question. "Why did you have a big fight? You said you two were getting a long so good."

"Taemin was quite a playboy. He went across many on and off relationship during then." Minho said as he looked at her.

Sulli finally came to a realization to why Minho tried to interrogate her about what Taemin's intention toward her. He probably was afraid that she would fell for Taemin's trap and be his victim.

Minho then saw Sulli her lips and he felt the room was getting hot for some reason. He had to look away and downed himself the rest of the beer.

"He eventually ended up hitting on my girlfriend." Minho continued.

Sulli felt like someone just splashed a bucket of cold water on her face. Minho used to date?! During highschool? How about doing the counting then? Since then until now, how many of girlfriends would he already have come across?! But that made sense though, there was no way her stepbrother had never dated before. And if he didn't, girls would just be willing to fall in a long line to apply to be his girlfriend. Not that she admitted he was that handsome though but she couldn't deny that Minho's look was literally above average.

"So you ended up fighting because of a girl?! That was such a complete childish act." Sulli commentted sarcastically.

Minho chuckled. "Well, you aren't completely wrong. But then I was so mad you know. Upon learning that they were cheating behind my back, I went to confront Taemin. He told me to calm down and listened to him first. He said he just wanted to show me something, he needed to prove me that the girl I was dating was just playing with me. She was actually a . But I didn't believe him, I was blind with the anger that they made me looked like a complete idiot. So instead of listening to him, I gave him a big blow on the face."

"And what happened next?"

"I left him there and I broke up with that girl on the same day. 2 days later I heard she got a new lover. She even flaunted her new boyfriend in front of me." Minho paused to sip his beer. "Only then I realized Taemin was right. She was just playing with me and I was a fool to fall for her. That was how my first relationship failed."

First relationship! Sulli repeated the word in her mind. He indicated 'first' so that meant there probably were also second, third or even fouth. Sulli drank her beer to clear her head.

Minho frowned when he saw Sulli shook her head. "What's wrong?"

Sulli turned to him. "Huh? Ah nothing. So how about Taemin? Did you apologize him?"

Minho sighed. "That day he moved to Japan suddenly so I didn't get the chance to apologize him. Though I knew his cousin but we didn't manage to keep in touch. So since then we had never seen each other until this morning. Well technically, I still owe him an apology."

Sulli frowned at that. If they didn't keep in touch, how did Taemin manage to know about Minho published books? He even knew better than her that which one was ever Minho's first work. And most of all he even knew that Minho's dad was remarried to her mum.

Could it be Taemin was Minho's stalker? A secret admirer? And he actually used her to get closer to Minho?! Sulli couldn't help but she suddenly laughed at her own silly imagination of Taemin was actually trying to hit on Minho and not her.

Minho saw Sulli laughing out of blue. Though he had no idea what she was laughing about but he was smitten by the sound of her voice. He unconsciously smiled by himself and continue watching her laugh without cutting in until she stopped and wiped her tears. 

Minho noticed that they had finished all the beers she bought. "I have few more beers left in the fridge, I will get it." He stood up. 

"I thought you didn't allow me to drink." Sulli said with a grin. 

"But I've allowed you to drink 2 beers already. I see that you are having fun so why not break a rule for one day?" Minho said and went out.

A moment later he returned with another 5 cans of beer in his hands. "I hope we won't get drunk later." Minho said. 

"Come on, this doesn't even near my limit. I'm not getting drunk with just few cans of beer." Sulli said, accepting a can from Minho as they both laughed.

The night went on and they continued talking and laughing together with random stories they shared. Minho felt so happy that Sulli and him could have a simple day like this to talk so comfortably. Much of her liking or not, Sulli warmed up to him a lot. He was sure more than anything that she won't admit it to him but as long as his heart knew this, he was also happy enough.

"Sulli, do you remember the day we first met?" Minho asked. For some reason he had always wanted to know about Sulli, what was her first impression about him? "How did you feel about me...knowing that I'm gonna be your stepbrother?"

Sulli stared the beer in her hand. "I kind of didn't remember much. But one thing I still do." She looked at Minho. "When you came to me after the dinner ended and with a smile you said to me for the first time that day, 'Sulli right, I hope we get along very well.' That time, I thought, 'Ah, so this is my stepbrother! He looks ok though and he doesn't seem like an evil stepbrother I've ever imagined.'"

Minho smiled and nodded. "So I quite left you a good impression. That's nice to know."

"Umm well." Sulli agreed.

The first time they met, it was when their parents introduced them to one another. Sulli still remembered that she didn't utter even a single word throughout their officail dinner. She still also remembered how Minho would steal her glances from across the table from time to time and when she caught him, he would smile at her softly before looking away guiltily, knowing that he was just caught. Sulli smiled, recalling how she found Minho was cute then.

"Why did you keep looking at me?" Sulli asked.

"Huh?"

"That day, why did you keep looking at me? Did I look like a weird creature from the other planet?"

Minho chuckled, looking down and realized that, without noticed they had already finished all the beers he had brought. "I thought you said you didn't remember much." He .

"I said I didn't remember much doesn't mean I forgot all. And who wouldn't be aware of your intense stare? I mean you were so obvious then and that I couldn't help but still remember how your face looked like when I caught you." Sulli said with a smile before taking a sip of her beer. Only then she felt it again, she was under a stare and when her head turned left, she was held under Minho's gentle gaze. And it was like a spell, they began to look at each other in the eyes.

"You didn't look like a creature. You didn't at all look weird in my eyes. In contrast, you were so beautiful that day. You looked like an angel who almost took my breath away and I couldn't help myself but to keep staring at you. That night, I just couldn't take my eyes off you, Sulli." Minho said and his eyes moved its own way down, from her eyes to her plump lips. 

Sulli noticed that Minho's gaze was on her lips and she felt them turning dry all of sudden. She them innocently and little did she knew that it was the last control Minho had left.

Much to Sulli surprise, Minho leaned in and pressed his lips on hers. She widened her eyes but didn't attemp to push him away and when Minho started to move his lips on hers, Sulli accepted gladly. She closed her eyes and allowed him to deepen the kiss, tasting every sweetness of her lips.

When the kiss became a little harder, Minho slid his hand over her jaw and they pulled away for about a hair strand from each other. He smiled as if asking her for permission and Sulli returned the smile as if giving him the permission.Then they just completely forgot about the whole world and began to kiss again, more heater and more passionate this time.

End of flashback.

Sulli's eyes grew wide when she exited her room just at the same time with Minho closing his door.

"Good mor--"

She didn't allow him to finish as she quickly went back inside and closed the door with a loud shut. Sulli closed her eyes but then it was a wrong move since it only recalled her about the kiss they had shared last night.

"Ahhhh I'm going crazy." Sulli cried helplessly. "I can't just do that, looking at him as if nothing happened. Not, when he also probably remembers it as well."

Outside of the room, Minho stood with a frown. "What's wrong with her?" He knocked on the door. "Sulli, hurry up and come out to have breakfast. Your class will start in a half an hour." With no response, Minho just shrugged, knowing that she would come out soon and he went to the dining table to have his breakfast first.

A minute later, Sulli joined him. She watched Minho enjoying his breakfast like usual, like nothing was going on between them the day before.

What? No stealing glance because of guilt from yesterday! No apology that he kissed her last night! No awkwardness as if they never shared an intense kiss. Seriously, no nothing.

Wow! Sulli couldn't believe him. How could he act like kissing her was no big deal at all? He kissed her! She screamed in her mind. Wasn't he supposed at least doing something to make her feel better?

"How many classes do you have today?" Minho started the conversation as he stirred his coffee before he drank it.

Sulli ate her breakfast. "I don't know!" She curtly replied.

"Umm well, then what time your part time work starts?" Minho asked again and by the glare he got from Sulli, he wished that he would know what did he say wrong again to trigger her anger. He sighed, putting down his coffee. Here come again, the moody princess. "I will talk to your boss today. And make sure you make it clear to him that you have no interest in dating him."

Sulli rolled her eyes unbelievably. Minho was indeed a pro in pretending. He was good in acting and avoiding. Nice try though that he chose such a safe topic of Taemin wanted to date her to talk right now.

"I don't know. Well I might change my mind. If I work there and see that he is a good man, I probably think about his offer. Or I don't need to beat around the bush and just date him today." Sulli said.

"Mwo?" Minho exclaimed. She told him last night that she will never ever go out with Taemin. What made her change her mind now? Or did she hit her head somewhere because of she probably felt off bed last night? But he was sure as hell that she didn't because of he was there too. Yes, recalling about last night, it made him think if Sulli had any idea that they shared her bed together? But his thought was immediately flew out of the window when she stopped eating her breakfast.

"where are you going? You haven't finished your breakfast." Minho said as he saw her grab her bag and walked out to the front door, ignoring him. He rolled his eyes. What's gotten into this girl again? Still he followed her and caught up by the ouside of the house. "Yah! Why on the earth are you mad at me again? What's wrong?"

Sulli looked at him. "Think it by yourself, what did you do?" Turning her heels, she began to walk on the road towards to the bus stop. She didn't want him to give her a ride today. She didn't want to see his face as if their kiss last night didn't bother him at all.

Sulli formed a fist. Why did she feel this way? Minho didn't want to mention about it or he probably didn't remember and that should make her relieved right? Since it shouldn't have happened in the first place, they could just forget about it to make thing between them not awkward but then why did she feel so mad? Her mind told her to let it be that way but her heart refused to accept that. Why? What was wrong with her? 

Sulli saw Minho's motorbike blocked her way.

"Hop on Sulli." Minho said to her.

"No!" Sulli began on her way but after only a few steps, she felt Minho grab her hand. He dragged her back to where his motorbike is.

"We don't play any game right now, entitled princess. You better listen to me." Minho said and he looked at her. "I have no idea why you get mad at me but can you save whatever your unreasonable anger later?"

Sulli glared at him. How dare he said to her like that? Didn't he have no idea how tighten her chest right now? She wanted to lash out at him but she couldn't. She wanted to ask him, why did he pretend nothing was going on between them? Did he find her disgusting for that he didn't want to talk about it? And did kissing her mean nothing at all to him? Did he... Did he... Sulli felt suddenly tears pool in her eyes. Oh great, how dramatic and emotional drama queen she was.

Minho was dumbfounded and nervous when Sulli was likely gonna cry soon. He knew he was the reason but he really didn't know what did he do wrong. "Okay Sulli, I'm sorry if I ever make you mad but can you not cry?"

"Mwo?!" Sulli asked and for that it prompted her tear to fall. She no longer cared as she began to cry. "You are really a jerk!" She accused him and hit him with her fist on his chest. "A big jerk I've ever saw one on earth. A jerk of a stepbrother!"

Minho sighed as he allowed her to hit him. "Yes yes I'm a jerk. So come here. Oppa is sorry." Minho opened his arms to hug her and let her to sob in his chest while trying to comfort her. He was no longer care what he ever did wrong as for now let's comfort her first. But it made him nervous though because this was the first time he ever made Sulli cried. So he really felt bad at the same time. "I'm sorry. I will never do it again."

Sulli suddenly pushed him off of her. "Mwo? I will never do it again?!" She repeated him. "Am I a disgust to you? Kissing me really make you feel disgusting and that you hate it so much?!"

Minho was even getting dumbfounded with Sulli's word now. He completely had no idea what she was talking about. Kissing her?! When did he do that? "Wait Sulli, I completely, totally, don't know what are you talking about here."

Sulli felt terrible. She said it to his face and he played dumb with her? She cried harder and started hitting him again. "You jerk, that was my first kiss. You kissed me first last night. Yes we kissed and now you pretend that you forgot it. I hate you. I really hate you, Choi Minho!"

Minho was stunned. He couldn't believe his ears. What?! He kissed her last night! They kissed! As it meant his lips on her lips and they kissed! Oh ! Why did he remember nothing about it?! He shouldn't have forgotten? Out of everything in the world, how on the earth he could forget that moment? Darn it! He should've remembered it and so he would also remember how good it feel like to kiss her.

'Great Choi Minho, you don't feel sorry that you had just stolen your stepsister's first kiss, here instead you felt bad that you couldn't remember it!' Minho thought to himself.
