:: Seriously?::

 

At Seoul National Aquatic Centre

 

Yuri was ready in his swimsuit, and the moment the instructor blowing the whistle, he quickly jumped into the pool, and swimming fast like the pro athlete swims until the end, and not to forget to showing off his skills in five most common swimming like front crawl, sidestroke, stroke, backstroke and butterfly.

 

“Wow! He’s really good, isn’t he?,” Sunny looked at him in awe as she compliments him. Yoona who was sitting next to her just shrugged her shoulder, and immediately got up from her seat.

 

“Well, that's his skills, though. Watch me,” she said nonchalantly as she walked away from the bench, heading to the changing room.

 

“Yah! Im Yoona! Where are you going?,” She shouted in perplexed while watching Yoona walking away until the girl's disappeared from her sight.

 

“Aishh.. this brat! I wonder what she has planned in her mind. I hope she's not going to do any stupid things on Yuri,” she mumbled as she looked rather worried. Not long after, Yoona came out from the changing room with her swimsuit, causing Sunny dumbfounded while looking at the latter.

 

“What the.. What’s exactly she wants to do?,” she said to herself.

 

Yoona approached the instructor, and seems like they were discussing on something before Yoona jumped on the pool and acting like she was drowning. Yuri who was still doing his quickly noticed on what was going on, and he immediately swam towards Yoona.

 

“What the heck is she doing?,” Yuri thought, but he quickly caught the latter’s body and carefully hooked his arm through her arm and dragged her while swimming towards the edge of the swimming pool. He then lifted the latter’s body with all his might up to the edge of the pool. Yoona was coughing non-stop and Sunny who was watching on what was happening quickly ran towards the latter. She squatted down and patted on the latter’s back.

 

“Yah! Im Yoona! What are you think you’re doing, huh?,” Sunny exclaimed while gesturing the instructor to get the towel for her.

 

“T-testing him. That’s exactly what I am doing right now,” she replied while patted on her chest because she was accidentally swallowed too much pool water. The instructor then came with a towel and handed it to Sunny. Sunny immediately wrapped the towel around the latter’s body.

 

“I know that you want to test him. But, by doing like this, are you out of your mind? You don’t know how to swim, and what if you are drowning for real just now?,” Sunny scolded her. Yoona just nonchalantly got up with the help of her manager, and walked towards Yuri who was sitting at the edge of the pool, breathing heavily.

 

“You’re pass. Now, go and change. I have an interview at radio station in one hour from now,” she instructed.

 

“Crazy,” he mumbles, but luckily Yoona didn’t hear it clearly.

 

“What did you say?,” she asked while furrowed her brows.

 

“Ermm.. y-yes, Miss Im,” he quickly replied and with that he immediately got up and ran towards the changing room.

 

“Yoong, please. Next time please discuss with me on what you’re gonna do. I don’t want Yuri to think that you’re rude to him. He’s my boyfriend’s close friend, and I don’t want today will be his last day working with you. It’s hard to find another candidates with great skills just like him. Please respect him as well,” Sunny begged.

 

“That’s what bodyguard should do, right? Besides, we pay him, so, he must do his job according to what he should do,” Yoona casually replied.

 

“For your information Miss Im Yoona, he didn’t want to receive any pay for becoming your bodyguard. He did this for the sake of Hyomin, you know that? He did this for the sake of their friendship,” Sunny said firmly as she began to feel annoyed with the latter’s nonchalant act.

 

“Alright. I need to change now. Get the car’s ready in fifteen minutes,” she replied and got up from the bench. Sunny could only sighed as she watched the latter walking towards the changing room.

 

Yuri was already in his attire, and he bowed to Yoona the moment she entered the changing room.

 

“I’m sorry, Yuri,” Sunny apologized when Yuri approached her.

 

“Nah, it’s okay. I need to get used to it from now on,” he replied smilingly.

 

“She can be stubborn sometimes. And for your information, she can’t swim,” Sunny said, causing Yuri’s eyes widened in surprise.

 

“Chincha? B-but.. W-why did she do like that?,” Yuri said as he was in shocked.

 

“Like what I’ve told you earlier, she wants a bodyguard who have special skills, so that she can be ready for any circumstances she might facing later,” Sunny replied. Yuri nodded understandingly.

 

“Don’t worry, Sunny. Don’t be sorry for me. I will try my best to do my job. In the meantime, I will try to contact if any of my friends might looking for a job as a bodyguard. I might not be working as a bodyguard for a long time. I need to take care of my ranch, and to look after my daughter too,” he said.

 

“Yeah, I understand you, Yuri. If I were in your shoes, I don’t think I can juggle doing two kinds of jobs like you’re doing right now,” she replied with a smile.

 

“It’s okay. For the sake of my friends, I will do anything for them,” Yuri said, causing Sunny smiled and patted on his shoulder.

 

“Sunny, is the car ready?,” they got startled with the sudden voice of their “boss”.

 

“Ready. Shall we go now?,” Sunny replied.

 

“Kaja!,” Yoona said and Yuri quickly walked ahead of the girls and opened the door for them. They quickly walked towards the MPV which the driver has been waiting for them, and ready to bring them to the next destination.

“Wow! This is crazy!,” Yuri said to Sunny. Sunny just smiled and patted his arm, assuring him that he could do his job well. Today’s task were really challenging as Yoona’s fans were already flooded in front of the TV station building where Yoona will going to be interviewed by the renowned radio station, Seoul FM.

 

“Give a way please,” Yuri said as he opened the vehicle’s door, and shielded Yoona with his arm, protecting her from the aggressive fans. He did his job professionally without causing anyone hurt in the process. Besides, he put discipline as his first priority just like what he received during his training in army.

 

“Gosh! Why are they here? I thought they didn’t know about my schedule,” Yoona grunted right after they successfully entered the main entrance of the building.

 

“Did you forget already? Your schedules has been uploaded by our staff in our company’s website, so that fans can know your whereabouts,” Sunny replied in annoyed tone.

 

“Why did they even do that? Can you please tell them not to update my schedule in our website?,” Yoona said.

 

“All terms were in the contract you signed, Yoong, including the schedules update in company’s website,” Sunny replied as she reminded her. Yoona sighed in frustration.

 

“Somehow I feel sorry for her. But, that’s the price you have to pay when you become a celebrity,” Yuri thought. Sunny then heading towards the reception counter and the receptionist brought her and Yoona to where the studio located.

 

“I’ll be at the waiting area,” Yuri said to Sunny before they entered inside the studio. Sunny nodded and smiled.

 

“Aishh.. I shouldn’t take this job even if Hyomin have to lose her job. It’s suffocating!,” he grunted while walking towards the waiting area. He took a seat at the settee, and opened his phone. The picture of him and Hani happily riding Flora which he sets as his phone’s wallpaper greets him, and he couldn’t help but to smile while looking at the picture.

 

“Appa miss you, baby. I hope you’re doing well in school,” Yuri mumbled sadly.

 

“Whom you’re missing right now, huh?,” Sunny’s sudden voice startles him. She took a seat next to Yuri.

 

“Oh, it’s my daughter, Kwon Hani,” he replied smilingly.

 

“Can I see her picture?,” Sunny asked.

 

“Sure. Here,” he handed his phone to Sunny, and the latter gladly took it. She looked at the picture and smiled.

 

“She really looks like you, huh? So cute!,” she said. Yuri smiled.

 

“Yeah. She really takes after me. She’s become naughtier when she grows up. She likes to tease me nowadays,” he replied. Sunny then returns the phone back to Yuri.

 

“Have she ever asked you about her mother?,” Sunny asked as she carefully looked at Yuri.

 

“Yeah, she have. That, when she was four years old,” he replied and smiled faintly.

 

“Chincha? Then what she said?,” Sunny asked in curious.

 

“She asked me, where’s her mother? I told her that her mother lived in another place, far away from this country,” he replied. Sunny squinted her eyes as she couldn’t believe on his words.

 

“I told you the truth, though!,” he replied.

 

“And then, what did she say?,” she asked like a private investigator.

 

“She said, okay. Aishh.. Come one! She’s just four years old, though. What do you expect for her to react?,” Yuri exclaimed as he started to feel annoyed with Sunny’s question. Sunny laughed, feeling amused with pissed Yuri.

 

“Your daughter was right. It’s fun to tease a tough, manly looked person like you, though,” Sunny said teasingly.

 

“Whatever!,” Yuri replied as he rolled his eyes. Sunny chuckled at him, and the two then continued to chat on random things.

After the interview, Yoona was free from any schedules, and she decided to continue her work at her restaurant. She invited Sunny and Yuri to have their lunch there.

 

“It’s still the same,” Yuri said to Sunny right after they entered the restaurant. Yoona was straightly heading towards her office, and continued her work in the kitchen.

 

“You mean, the interior?,” Sunny asked. Yuri nodded. The waiter ushered them to the vacant table, and laid the menu in front of them. After the two made their order, the waiter then left the table and heading towards counter.

 

“She used to tell me that she wanted to preserve on what her late father has done with this restaurant. That’s the only way she could keep her memories with her father,” Sunny said.

 

“I see,” Yuri nodded. “Ermm.. Sunny, Hyomin told me that you’re her close friend since from high school, is that right?,” Yuri asked.

 

“Yeah, that’s right. We were classmates since from grade nine. She moved to Seoul with her father after her mother passed away,” Sunny replied. Not long after the waiter approached their table, and served the food and drinks they have ordered.

 

“Thank you,” they thanked him in unison.

 

“Let’s dig in!,” Sunny happily said, causing Yuri chuckled on her words. The two then started to devour their food.

 

“You know what? My mother informed me last time that Yoona used to be friends with me when we were small, around my daughter’s age,” Yuri began to speak.

 

“Chincha? How old is your daughter now?,” she asked.

 

“She’s just turned into six years old recently. My mother said they used to live in Goyang before they moved to Seoul. Right after Yoona’s mother passed away,” Yuri replied.

 

“Oh, I think Yoona had told me about this, but I couldn’t remember. So, you said her late father and your father were close friends, right? Ermm.. how close was that?,” she asked.

 

“I’m not sure about that. I just heard it from my mother, so, I didn’t know the details,” Yuri replied while munching his food. “Hmm.. this is nice. I don’t really like eating Italian food, but I can say that this pasta tastes good,” he said.

 

“That’s Yoona’s expertise, though. She graduated from Italian Chef Academy, and a Master Degree holder in Culinary Arts,” Sunny replied.

 

“Oh, no wonder. Did she cook this?,” Yuri curiously asked.

 

“Of course I am. Who else do you think?,” a familiar voice suddenly said with her hands on her hips, causing the two startled.

 

“Ermm, o-okay,” Yuri stuttered while quietly resumed eating the pasta.

 

“Do we need to pay for this lunch, or it’s on the house today?,” Sunny asked her.

 

“I will bill this to him since he’s a rich man,” Yoona nonchalantly said and left their table.

 

“Mwoh?”

“Where do you stay in Seoul?,” Sunny asked right after they arrived at Sunny’s office. She threw her handbag on the desk, and sat on her chair.

 

“My parents have a penthouse here. So, I will stay there while I am here. But, I will disturb your boyfriend from time to time if I feel bored,” Yuri replied, causing the latter laughed. Yuri took his seat in front of Sunny’s desk.

 

“I really don’t mind, though. Besides, both of us working at the same place, so we can meet whenever we want,” Sunny said.

 

“You stay alone?,” Yuri asked. Sunny shooked her head.

 

“I stay with Yoona. She asked me to move in with her ever since her father passed away. She said she doesn’t want to live alone,” she replied.

 

“Hyomin didn’t mind about it?,” Yuri asked in curious.

 

“Nope. He’s okay with it. Besides, we are not going to plan to get married soon. There are lots of things we need to achieve first,” Sunny replied with a smile.

 

“Aishh.. What is it that you want to achieve, Sunny ah? I know this company belongs to your uncle, and your father were a well-known businessman too. Just settle down, have a family and you will live happily,” Yuri said.

 

“It’s not easy as like you said, Yuri. You know, my current job needs me to sacrifice lots of time, managing people. At least it’s Yoona whom I am working with. If with someone else, I don’t think I have time even to breathe,” she replied.

 

“Arasso, if you said so. I just want to see my friends having a happy life. Doesn’t matter if it sooner or later, unlike me,” he said as he smiled faintly.

 

“Don’t say like that, Yuri. You will find your happiness someday when you meet the right one for you. Just believe in yourself,” Sunny replied encouragingly.

 

“Thanks, Sunny. It’s really nice to have this kind of talk with you. I mean, from woman’s perspective. If with Hyomin, we could only have man to man talk,” he truthfully said.

 

“Hey, we’re co-workers and also friends, remember? You can talk to me anytime, especially when it comes on woman matters,” she replied.

 

“Arasso. Alright, I think I have to go now. I’ll see you on tomorrow morning then,” he said as he got up and excused himself.

 

“Yeah, see you on tomorrow,” Sunny said, waving her hand at Yuri.

“Daddyyyy!,” Kwon Hani greets his father excitedly through the video call.

 

“Hey, sweetie! Have you already eaten your dinner?,” Yuri asked.

 

“Yes, daddy. Halmeoni cooked your favorite dish today,” she replied.

 

“Chincha? Aigoo.. Daddy feel sad, you know. Daddy could only eat Western food here,” he said playfully while pouting.

 

“What’s Western food, daddy?,” the six years old girl asked in curious.

 

“Western food are like hamburgers, spaghetti, pasta, pizza, sweetie” he explained to his daughter.

 

“Oooh.. I want to eat Western food too, daddy. Can we eat pizza after you come home?,” she asked.

 

“Of course you can, baby. What is halmeoni doing right now?,” he replied.

 

“Halmeoni is watching news on TV with haraboji,” she informed.

 

“Haraboji is there too?,” he asked.

 

“Dae, daddy. Haraboji just come back from office with Yeo samchon,” she replied.

 

“Ah, I see. Send my regards to halmeoni and haraboji, arasso?,” he said.

 

“Dae, daddy,” Hani obediently replied.

 

“Have you done with your homework?,” he asked like a usual routine as a father.

 

“Dae, daddy. Hayoung unnie helped me,” she excitedly replied.

 

“Chincha? Baby, don’t always disturb Hayoung unnie, arasso? She have to do daddy’s work,” he said.

 

“Dae, daddy. Hayoung unnie have a free time today, so she helped Hani,” she replied.

 

“Arasso, arasso. Only when she have free time, arasso?,” he said.

 

“Dae, daddy,” Hani replied.

 

“Good girl. Alright, daddy needs to put the phone down right now. Daddy will talk to you later. Go to bed after this, okay baby?,” he said.

 

“Dae. Good night daddy. I love you,” Hani replied.

 

“Good night, sweetheart. Daddy love you too,” he said as he ended the video call. He sighed and put the phone on the coffee table. Suddenly his stomach growled, indicating that he’s hungry.

 

“Aishh.. I’m too lazy to order takeout,” he mumbled. “I will have ramyun instead,” he then got up from the couch, and heading towards the kitchen. He rummaged in the cabinet, but he found nothing inside.

 

“How can I forget to store stocks in the cabinet? Aishh..,” he grunted. Without wasting his time, he then walked towards the living room and took his belongings. He planned to go to the nearby convenience store to get something to eat for dinner.

At the convenience store

 

“What kind of brand should I try this time?,” he mumbled while looking at a row of various instant noodles arranged on a shelf.

 

“You should try this one,” a voice said as index finger was pointing at the instant noodles with the yellow plastic wrapping.

 

“Huh?,” Yuri quickly turned to look at the source of the voice. His eyes widened in surprise.

 

“K-Krystal?”

Flashback

 

Yuri was waiting for his girlfriend to finish her class on the day at their usual meet up place, but she just texted him that the class has extended to another two hours. Today will be their last class before the summer break will start. He decided to wait for her at their college cafe while having his favorite coffee there.

 

“Joe hyung! Americano as usual,” he made an order to the cafe’s worker.

 

“Right away, Yul. 5,000.00 won,” he replied. Yuri then took the 5,000.00 won note from his wallet and handed it to Joe.

 

“Here,” he said. Joe took the bank note, and quickly walking towards the coffee machine to make the drinks.

 

“Here you go, bro,” Joe handed the drinks to Yuri.

 

“Thanks, hyung,” Yuri thanked him, and he immediately turned to his back when suddenly..

 

“PAK!”

 

“Oh my God! I’m sorry, I’m sorry,” a girl who was just accidentally bumped into Yuri apologized in panic while trying to wipe the drinks that spilled over Yuri’s shirt.

 

“It’s.. it’s okay, Miss. I can handle it, don’t worry,” Yuri said while wiping the spilled coffee on his shirt.

 

“W-wait here. I will buy you a new shirt. Just wait here, please!,” the person frantically said and with that she immediately left the cafe as fast as the wind blows.

 

“Yul, are you okay, dude?,” Joe rushed towards Yuri.

 

“I’m okay, hyung. Don’t worry,” he replied with reassuring smile.

 

“Wait here. I will bring a wet towel and a mop to clean up this mess,” Joe said as he quickly rushed back to the cafe’s store. Glad that not many people came to the cafe at that time since it’s already in the late afternoon.

 

While Yuri were busy cleaning up his shirt with the wet towel, the girl suddenly entered the cafe with a paper bag in her hand.

 

“H-here. I’m really, really sorry,” she handed the paper bag to Yuri. Yuri was dumbfounded.

 

“Ermm.. Miss.. you don’t have to do this for me. I’m okay, really. It’s not your fault. I can go home and change my shirt,” Yuri said to the person.

 

“Please, I insist. Please take it,” she said earnestly. Yuri finally relented, and took the paper bag.

 

“Thank you,” he thanked the girl.

 

“Don’t mention. I’m Krystal anyway,” she replied and extended her hand to shake hands with Yuri.

 

“I’m Kwon Yuri, but you can call me Yuri,” he said, and shook hands with the latter.

 

“Kwon Yuri? If I’m not wrong, you’re Jessica Jung’s boyfriend, right?,” she asked. Yuri’s eyes widened in surprised.

 

“How.. h-how did you know?,” he stuttered as he was in shocked. Krystal smiled.

 

“I’m her baby sister. I came here to surprise her, but I was told that her class got extended to two hours,” she explained.

 

“Seriously? She told me that you were studying in New York,” Yuri said in surprise.

 

“Yeah, you’re right. I'm in my semester break, so, that’s why I am here, visiting my family and my unnie,” she replied.

 

“Ah, I see,” Yuri replied as he nodded. “Ermm, I will go and change my shirt first, and then we can wait for your unnie together, okay?,” he said.

 

“Okay, just go ahead. I will wait for you here,” Krystal replied with a smile. With that, Yuri rushed to the cafe’s toilet to change his shirt.

 

“So, when did you arrived from New York?,” Yuri asked while sipping his Americano. The were still in the cafe, waiting for Jessica as the time left for about one hour before her class ended.

 

“This morning. I went straight to home from the airport, but mommy told me that unnie was at college. So, I decided to surprise her by coming here. Unfortunately, I was told by the college staff that her class got extended to two hours,” she replied.

 

“ Oh,” he nodded. “You're not tired? You know, spending about thirteen hours flight from New York, and then coming here straight just to see your unnie,” Yuri asked. Krystal smiled while shook her head, but then she suddenly yawned, indicating that she's tired and jet lag.

 

“You're lying, aren't you?,” Yuri said as he chuckled, causing the latter laughing in embarrassment.

 

“Yeah,” she replied shyly after her laughter died down. “Ermm, Yuri oppa,” she called Yuri.

 

“Huh?,” Yuri turned his head to look at her. Their eyes locked into each other, causing Krystal stunned.

 

“No wonder unnie falling in love with you. You looked so handsome,” she thought.

 

“Yes, Krystal?,” Yuri’s voice snapped her out of her thought.

 

“Ah, ermm..” she suddenly lost for words. She cleared before she started to speak again.

 

“Ermm, I want to take a nap for a while. Can you please wake me up after unnie finished her class?,” she said.

 

“Oh, sure. Just go ahead. But, where are you going to take your nap?,” he asked.

 

“Here,” she replied. Yuri’s brows raised in surprised.

 

“Here?,” Yuri asked. Krystal weakly nodded and immediately put her arms on the table and her head on her arms.

 

“Arasso. Have a good rest,” he mumbled while looking at the latter.

One hour later

 

“RING! RING!”

 

Yuri immediately got up and walked out of the cafe to answer the call.

 

“Hey, babe!,” he greets.

 

“Baby, where are you? I didn't see you at the car park,” Jessica asked.

 

“I'm at our college cafe, babe. I have to look after my friend here. Can you come here first and take the car key?,” he replied.

 

“Your friend? Do I know him or her?,” she asked.

 

“You know her well, babe. Just come here right now,” Yuri replied.

 

“Your friend is a girl? I know her well? Baby, don't make me confused here. Aishh.. whatever! I’m coming there right now!,” she said in anger tone as she hung up. Yuri just chuckled as he knew his girlfriend has a low tolerance with it comes into jealousy issue.

 

“Kwon Yuri!,” Jessica called him while marching furiously towards the latter.

 

“Babe, calm down!,” he said. They were at outside of the cafe.

 

“Where's she? Where's your so called 'friend’, huh? I want to see her right N.O.W!,” she exclaimed. Yuri grabbed her arm and pulled her closer to him.

 

“Babe, listen. She was resting right now. She came here straight away from New York just to see you,” he said softly. Jessica furrowed her brows, feeling confused.

 

“Why the heck your friend who came from New York wants to see..,” she suddenly stopped talking as something has triggered her mind, and she gasped.

 

“Oh my God! You mean, my baby sister? Krystal was here?,” she asked. Yuri nodded and smiled.

 

“W-where is she?,” she asked while looking inside the cafe.

 

“She's inside, taking a nap. We accidentally bumped into each other at the cafe, and my drinks spilled over my shirt. She felt guilty and bought me a new one. She's a nice girl. She wanted to surprise you, but she found out that your class got extended, so she decided to wait for you here. She looked so tired. She asked me to wake her up after your class ended,” Yuri explained.

 

Jessica cupped and began to cry, feeling overwhelmed. Yuri pulled her into his arms and hugged her.

 

“There, there. Let's get inside and wake her up. She's so excited to see you,” Yuri said while patted on her back. Jessica just followed suit as the two then entered the cafe.

 

She slowly walking towards the table and carefully pulled the chair and sat next to Krystal. She looked at Yuri and he nodded, gesturing his girlfriend to wake her little sister up.

 

“Baby, wake up,” her voice softly said while caressing her little sister’s hair. Krystal seemed like will not wake up in any minute, probably due to her tiredness.

 

“Baby,” this time she patted on her back, and it's successfully waking her little sister up as she slowly stirred, and lifted her head.

 

“Huh? Unnie?,” she weakly said as she was still in dazed. Jessica couldn't control her emotion as she immediately hugged her little sister while crying.

 

“Aigoo.. poor my baby sister. I'm so sorry baby for making you waiting,” she said in between her crying.

 

“U-unnie, why are you crying?,” Krystal asked in confused. She then pulled off the hug, and looked at her crybaby older sister.

 

“Watching you sleeping in here made my heart breaks, baby,” she replied, still crying. She then looked at Yuri, and the latter just shrugged, causing her smiled.

 

“Don't cry, unnie. I will be here for four months just to annoy you,” Krystal jokingly said, causing her sister smacked on her arm and her joke has successfully stopped her from crying.

 

“Yah, you little brat! Come here!,” she sternly said while opening her arms. Krystal chuckled and leaned forward to hug her sister.

 

“I miss you, unnie!,” she said. Jessica smiled and tighten the hug.

 

“I miss you too, baby,” she replied. The Jung sisters then pulled off their hug, and Jessica ruffled her little sister's hair.

 

“Thank you for your little surprised, baby. Let's go home now. You are still jet lag. You need more energy to annoy me later,” Jessica said as she got up from her seat.

 

“Yeah, let's go,” Krystal chuckled and got up. The Jung sisters and Yuri then left the cafe.

The Jung family were happily spending their quality time together with Krystal since the youngest heirs of The Jung Corporation was living far away from them, pursuing her studies in New York. Yuri will joining them once a while, and his appearance sometimes made Krystal felt more than happy and without she realized, she have a crush on him.

 

One day, Yuri brought the Jung sisters back to his family's ranch in Goyang. Although Jessica didn't agree at first, she then finally relented as Krystal was eagerly wanted to follow Yuri back home because she loves to ride horses. She was actively riding horses back in New York as she joined the equestrian club in her University. Yuri was more than glad to meet a person who has the same interest as his.

 

“This is Flora, my other 'girlfriend’ which I have told you last time,” Yuri chuckled when he introduced his favorite horse to Krystal.

 

“Oh my God! She's so beautiful, oppa!,” she exclaimed excitedly while caressing Flora. Yuri just smiled while looking at her.

 

“She's so different from Jessica. She never interested in horses, but her little sister did,” Yuri thought. Since it's still early morning, Jessica was still sleeping, and she'll usually woke up in the afternoon during her free time.

 

“Ermm, do you want to ride her?,” Yuri asked.

 

“Are you kidding me, oppa? Of course I want!,” she said enthusiastically. Yuri chuckled on her act.

 

“Arasso. Let me get her ready first, and then we can ride her later,” he replied.

 

“Do you want me to help you?,” Krystal asked.

 

“You know how to put the saddle pad and bridle?,” he asked her back. The youngest Jung just scoffed.

 

“Of course I know, oppa. I'm a member of the equestrian club in my university though,” she proudly said. Yuri just smiled on her words.

 

“Arasso. Let's get the saddle pad and other tools first,” Yuri replied and walked towards the store, followed by Krystal from behind.

 

“Ermm, why do we need to ride her together?,” Krystal asked after she put the helmet on and wearing her gloves.

 

“Because I’m afraid she will attack unfamiliar people if you ride her alone. I don’t want you to get hurt later,” Yuri replied.

 

“He’s so gentlemen! He thinks of other people’s safety first before him. Aishh.. Why are you so cute, Kwon Yuri?,” Krystal thought as her cheeks flushed.

 

“Krystal? Are you okay?,” Yuri asked worriedly.

 

“Huh? Y-Yes?,” she replied as she was in dazed.

 

“Your cheeks flushed. Are you okay?,” Yuri asked. Krystal quickly put her hands on her cheeks and nodded as she smiled awkwardly. Yuri just chuckled and gesturing her to ride the horse first. Krystal quickly stepped on the mounting block, and put her left foot in a left stirrup before she swing her right leg, and put her right foot on the right stirrup and pulled herself up there.

 

“Hmm.. good,” he mumbled, and started to step on the mounting block and send left stirrup before he positioned himself behind Krystal. Once both of them were settled in the saddle, they adjusted their position carefully, and Yuri then took the reins and hold it firmly. Flora was surprisingly calm, maybe because she has already getting used with Yuri.

 

“Alright, are you ready?, he asked.

 

“Yeah, I’m ready,” Krystal replied shyly. Yuri then gently squeezing Flora’s side with his legs, and like she understands his gesture, Flora then started to walk. Yuri gently kicked Flora’s side, and the horse started to run in moderate manner.

 

After he brought Krystal touring around the ranch, they then stopped at the big tree where located near the small pond. There’s a bench under the tree, and Yuri gently kicked Flora’s side, gesturing the horse to stop walking.

 

“Want to take a break for a while?,” Yuri asked her.

 

“Yeah, sure,” Krystal replied. With that, Yuri carefully stepped down from Flora, and followed by Krystal.

 

“Careful,” Yuri said when Krystal swing her right leg over the saddle. He extended his hand to Krystal, and the latter shyly hold his hand. Somehow, her left foot didn’t reach the left stirrup, and she accidentally fell down, but luckily Yuri managed to catch her.

 

“Are you okay?,” he asked worriedly. Krystal couldn’t answer him as she was stunned with their position just now.

 

“Krystal?,” Yuri’s voice snapped her, and she immediately released her hands from Yuri’s neck as Yuri put her down.

 

“I-I’m okay. Sorry,” she finally replied as she apologized. Yuri just chuckled and patted on her shoulder.

 

“It’s okay. Thank God I managed to catch you from falling down. Otherwise, your unnie will kill me later if she finds out you’re injured while riding a horse,” Yuri said.

 

“Yeah, he’s my unnie’s boyfriend, and soon-to-be my brother-in-law. Who am I to kid, right?,” Krystal thought.
 

“Y-yeah. Ermm.. did I make Flora scared?,” she asked, trying to shift her mind to the current situation.

 

“She’s okay. It didn’t affect her at all. Don’t worry, she’s the tough one, right Flora?,” Yuri said while caressing Flora. The horse just eating the grass, causing Yuri and Krystal chuckled on her act.

 

“You’re still hungry, huh? Alright, just eat all you can,” Yuri said while caressing Flora one last time before he took a seat on the bench. Krystal then took a seat next to him.

 

“It’s beautiful here,” she started to speak while gazing the greenery scenery in front of her.

 

“Yeah. That’s why I like to stay here. It really calms me,” he replied.

 

“But unnie doesn’t like it. I wonder if that’s bothering you, oppa,” she said while studying his face carefully. Yuri just smiled and nodded.

 

“I know. But, I’m sure she will like it someday. Maybe after we getting married, she will slowly can adjust herself and will getting used to live here,” Yuri optimistically replied.

 

“Oppa, can I ask you something?,” she asked.

 

“Sure, go ahead,” he replied.

 

“Why do you like my unnie?,” she carefully asked. Yuri smiled again, and cleared his throat before he answered.

 

“She’s different. I mean, although she’s from a wealthy family, but she’s just being herself. Not like other girls who always wanted to appear as a perfect one in front of other people. Her flaws, her attitude attracts me. That’s what makes me likes her, and falling in love with her,” Yuri replied smilingly while reminiscing those moments.

 

“She really loves unnie,” she thought.

 

“She used to share with me about you, oppa,” Krystal said. Yuri raised his brows and gasped.

 

“Chincha? Is it a good one, or a bad one?,” he replied jokingly, causing the latter laughed and smacked on his arm.

 

“Of course the good one, oppa. She said she has falling in love with you because of your handsome face, your firm muscles and athletic body, and the most important factor is your sweet smile. Whenever she felt stressed, she will feel relief just by looking at your smile,” she said. Yuri chuckled upon hearing her words.

 

“Yeokshi Jessica,” he said as he smiled. “Ermm.. what about you? Do you have a boyfriend back in New York?,” he suddenly asked. Krystal’s eyes widened in surprise with his unexpected question.

 

“I have lots of male friends. Although some of them used to confess about their feelings to me before, but I’m not attracted to them. I guess I'm still looking for the right one," she replied.

 

“Don’t worry, I’m sure you will find the one you like someday,” Yuri said as he smiled.

 

“The right one is you, oppa,” she thought.

“Here you go,” Yuri said as he put the two cups of cooked instant noodles on the table. They decided to have their dinner at the convenience store.

 

“Thank you, oppa,” Krystal thanked him.

 

“You’re most welcome. Now, let’s eat it while it’s still hot,” he said as he took a seat next to Krystal and started to open the cup’s lid. He blow the still hot noodles before he could enjoyed it.

 

“So, when did you arrive from L.A?,” he began to ask.

 

“This morning. I thought my friend was here, but unfortunately she have to go back to her hometown for an emergency case,” she replied while blowing her still hot noodles, and immediately eat it after it has cooled down. Yuri nodded.

 

“When she will return to Seoul?,” he asked again.

 

“In three days. Her wedding ceremony will be on this coming Saturday,” she replied.

 

“Three days? That’s quite long. Where are you going to stay then?,” Yuri asked in concern.

 

“I will find a nearby hotel to stay. Don’t worry, oppa,” she replied with a smile.

 

“No, no, no! Just stay at my penthouse. There are plenty of rooms there. You don’t have to waste your money to stay at the hotel. Stay there until your friend will return to Seoul,” he insists.

 

“Why? You want me to cook for you when you go out to work? So that you don’t have to eat instant noodles like today, right?,” Krystal said teasingly, causing the latter chuckled.

 

“Aigoo.. It’s not like that, Krys. You’re my family too, though. Although your unnie is not my wife anymore, but she’s still a mother to my daughter. And, don’t forget, you’re my daughter’s aunt too,” Yuri replied.

 

“Arasso, if you say so,” she said. “I would be more than glad, oppa. I miss you,” she thought. The two then continued eating their instant noodles while chatting on random things.
