Chapter 2

A Cover's Only A Cover

Yul’s Waiting Room:

 

Yul was smiling to himself as he swiped through his phone, he was scrolling through the internet for pictures of a certain idol.

 

Quietly, Red Velvet members entered the room without him knowing.

 

Yeri lead the way as she got into his face. “Oppa! What are you doing?!” She screamed playfully in his face.

 

Yul’s phone jumped out of his hand and instead he was holding his chest and had his eyes closed tight. “Yeri-ah!!” He shouted still clutching his chest.

 

Yeri laughed as she stood in front of the only male idol she was close to. She picked up his phone and set it on the coffee table near them.

 

When Yul finally opened his eyes, he glared at the youngest in the room. He gestured for her to come close with his index finger.

 

Yeri smiled sheepishly and cautiously came closer.

 

When Yeri was within reach, Yul grabbed her cheeks and gently pinched them. “What did I tell you the last time you scared me?”

 

“Ow, ow, ow….okay, oppa let go~” Yeri whined, trying to push away Yul’s hands.

 

The other members of Red Velvet were quiet but amusedly watched as the maknae scared their close friend. But the smile Yul had when they came wasn’t ignored by all the girls. Yul grinned and finally let go, patting Yeri’s cheek gently. “Good.”

 

“So who’s our sister in law?” Joy asked with a wide grin, sitting next to Yul.

 

Yul blushed at the question. Joy giggled at his reaction as she sat next to Joy.

 

“I’m guessing she’s nice?” Seulgi smirked as she sat next to Yeri.

 

Yul blushed a deeper shade of red, if it was possible. “She is… she’s from Mamamoo.”

 

Irene had been standing at the corner, but decided she wanted to join the conversation. She sat on Seulgi’s lap.

 

“That’s why he’s blushing so hard, he’s always been a fan of Mamamoo.” Irene commented with a smirk of her own.

 

“They’re all so pretty, which one?” Wendy asked curiously.

 

“Solar-ssi.” Yul said softly.

 

“Aaah~” All the SM girls said simultaneously.

 

Yul frowned, and the blushing on his cheek was disappearing. “What do you mean ‘aah’?”

 

Yeri smiled slyly. “Even though you said you don’t have an ideal girl, you’ve always been saying how much of an amazing singer Solar-ssi is~”

 

Yul blushed again, but wasn’t able to deny.

 

“But Yul, before you start falling for her, there were some rumors about Mamamoo.” Seulgi said cautiously.

 

Yul tilted his head. “What kind of rumors?”

 

Seulgi pursed her lips. “Like our rumors…” she pointed back and forth towards Irene and herself.

 

“Ohh.” Yul said understanding immediately, but shrugged a moment after. “It’s ok, even if she is I’m sure we can at least be friends.”

 

“Why can’t other guys be like you?” Joy said as she sighed.

 

Yul softly chuckled as he lightly shook his head. “Eric-hyung is nice.”

 

Yeri shook her head. “You’re nicer~”

 

“Is that so?” Yul chuckled as he ruffled Yeri’s hair.

 

“Children~ Ending time~” Red Velvet’s manager said as he kicked all the idols out of the waiting room, including Yul.

 

Once they got on stage, Yul got to stand in the front since he was a candidate to win 1st place. He smiled and eagerly waved at his fans. Which his fans giggled and screamed in response.

 

“Moon Yul’s Love & Hate!” The hosts said gesturing towards Yul.

 

Yul was surprised, but grinned widely as he was handed a mic. “Thank you very much to CEO Din Din, and my agency’s staff who takes really good care of me.” He paused but grinned staring towards his fans. “Also Thank you very much to my Hamsters who supported me the whole way!” He lifted up the trophy he got towards the fans and they went crazy.

 

His song started playing, and people started leaving. Only five girls stayed and danced next to him. Yul handed the mic to Yeri as the chorus came. “amuraedo nan guchahae guchahae Yeah

 

“Yeah~!” Yul shouted after Yeri sang. Yul grinned even wider as the girls danced in sync with him.

 

After the show, Yul waved to the girls as he got into his own van. He closed the door and immediately leaned towards the front. “Hyung, when’s the next shooting for We Got Married?”

 

Right after he got into the car, the car started to move.

 

His manager chuckled. “Excited?”

 

Yul blushed, “I need to know, I’m planning to buy a ring.”

 

“Eh! Already?!” His manager turned to him so quickly.

 

Yul shrugged. “You know most people have the ring before the marriage, right?”

 

His manager rolled his eyes, “Yeah but this is a pretend marriage.”

 

Yul frowned, “I still want to make it seem real, women only get married once, it’s just a fake marriage, but still a marriage nonetheless. So a ring is a requirement.”

 

His manager sighed knowing he won’t be able to stop the idol. “Well the next taping is three days from now.”

 

Yul nodded, and didn’t say anything else.

 

“Do I have any other schedule for today?” Yul asked after a few moments of silence.

 

His manager looked into his book, “It doesn’t seem like it.”

 

“Awesome, today’s a free day.” Yul grinned.

 

His manager looked at him suspiciously. “What are you planning to do?”

 

Yul’s grin grew wide. “I’m planning to sleep in bed all day.”

 

“Byul, you act like I don’t know you.” His manager said pointedly.

 

Yul chuckled, “I try to.”

 

Yul leaned back into his chair and was quiet the rest of the way. His manager just shook his head and hoped Yul wasn’t going to attract attention later on.

 

After getting dropped off at Yul’s apartment, he got off quickly and went to his home.

 

Instantly transforming into Byulyi, her long blond hair fell on her back. Her masculine make-up was adjusted so that her feminine features were emphasized instead of hidden.

 

Byulyi stuffed her sketchbook, pencil, and wallet into her backpack, and headed out of her apartment.

 

Han River:

 

Byulyi stared intently at the scene as she sat on the bench facing the river. She gave a contented sigh as she sketched on her notebook. She had a little hobby for drawing and she was quite talented. It calmed her when she needed to think, or when she just wanted to relax. Finishing the last few shades on her current drawing, there was a sound of struggle near her.

 

She saw a pink-haired stranger struggling to carry six black plastic bag. Byulyi put her sketchbook down and hurried to the struggling woman.

 

“Here, let me help…” Byulyi said picking up one of the fallen bags.

 

Solar’s POV:

 

A flash of blond came as I dropped two of the plastic bags. She was kneeling and that made me feel apologetic but thankful for the blond stranger. I kneeled also to pick up the stuff I dropped.

 

“Thank you…” I looked up and saw a very beautiful blond girl inspecting my convenience store bought food. I was a little dazed as I saw a bit of her face. She wasn’t looking at me but her side profile was still very pretty. “…very…much.”

 

“No…” She finally looked up and met my gaze. She had an adorable grin on her face. Her nose scrunched up and she had cute dimples on her cheeks. She was beyond pretty, gorgeous maybe…no beyond that. Her grin changed to a look of surprise on her face as her eyes met mine. “…problem.”

 

She had a deer-in-headlights expression on her face, which I thought was very adorable. was open and closing, like she was in shock.

 

“S-Solar-ssi?” She stuttered.

 

My eyes widened at the sound of my name. “De, you know who I am?”

 

She closed and blush. She nodded and cleared . “I-I’m actually a big fan…”

 

I felt flattered that this beautiful girl knew who I was. “Omo, Thank you!”

 

She gave a shy smile and nodded. She must’ve remembered what she came for as she started picking up the items again, but a little quicker.

 

After everything was picked up and in the bags, she handed me the two bags she picked up for me.

 

“Um…thank you again Miss…?” I said subtly asking for her name.

 

“Um…” she paused, “B-Byulyi…”

 

“Are you sure? You sound like you’re making that name up?” I asked slowly.

 

She shook her head. “It’s my name, I-I’m still a little dazed from meeting you.”

 

It was my turn to blush at that. It made me glad to have her as a fan.

 

“Well, Thank you for the help Byulyi.” I smiled brightly at her. “Oh! Would you like to join us?” I asked lifting the bags, gesturing towards the food inside them.

 

“I-I would love to, but…” I noticed her nervously looking at her watch. “I have to go, I have something important to do..”

 

“Oh…” I couldn’t hide the disappointment in my voice.

 

“Sorry…” She said as she bit her lower lip, which caused my eyes to drift towards them. They were full, and looked incredibly soft.

 

I gulped and shook myself out of my thoughts. “I-It’s ok, I understand.”

 

She bowed and waved as she walked towards the bench that she must’ve been sitting at. On the bench there was a notebook with a sketch on it. It was a little far, so I could barely see the drawing, but it seemed very detailed. She packed her things up into her backpack and waved again to me as she ran away from the river.

 

I stared until her figure was too far for me to see. Oddly, though she looked incredibly gorgeous, her face was somewhat familiar, especially her bright smile. “Byulyi…”

 

Maybe in my dreams…?

 

I frowned as I realized what I said in my head. I shook the greasiness out of my head that came out of nowhere. “I hope to see her again…”

 

Byulyi:

 

She sighed as she got inside her car. She was filled with worry.

 

What if Solar recognized her?

 

What will she do with my secret if she knows?

 

Solar seemed nice enough to keep a secret, but Byulyi didn’t know her enough to be sure.

 

“Aargh!” She screamed to herself as she ran her hand through her hair.

 

She exhaled. “Just calm down Byul… Maybe she thinks I’m Yul’s sister…or maybe she didn’t recognize you at all…Positive thoughts, Byul…Positive thoughts.” She said to herself as she let out another breath of air.

 

She started her car and made her way to a jewelry store.

 

The Next WGM Shooting:

 

Solar nervously played with the salt and pepper as she waited in a quiet café.

 

Yul had a variety show he had to attend before We Got Married, so Solar was patiently waiting for him to arrive. She took out her phone and sent a short message to Yul. They had exchanged numbers before Yul left the first taping. She was only texting him for the first time.

 

 

To Yul: Let me know when you get here! J

 

From Yul: De~ J J J

 

Solar smiled at the emojis, she had noticed that Yul had very short messages but always filled with emojis.

 

Will you marry me?

Will you live forever with me?

Whilst loving each other

 

Solar’s eyes widened as Lee Seungi’s Will you Marry came on loudly, and a familiar voice echoed through the café.

 

To be honest with you, I like you more than you like me

And people say thats better between a man and a woman

I’ll love you more, I’ll take care of you

 

Solar looked around confused, looking for the owner of the melodic voice.

 

 

If you cry,

if you’re having a hard time,

if you’re hurt,

I’ll hurt with you

 

I’ll love you forever,

I’ll Ill protect you forever

I’m thankful that

I’ve met someone like you

 

I want to love only you everyday

Will you marry me?

 

Yul came out through the kitchen, with a microphone, smiling nervously, but his voice was stable and was very contradicting to his nervous face.

 

Rap

Marry me, theres a feeling of happiness everyday

And I look forward to tomorrow with you

Why am I nervous

You are the best, no matter how much I look at you

Until our black hair becomes white

Until our lives end

Even if I put water to your hands, I wont put tears in your eyes

 

The owners that were standing off to the side, gave him a bouquet of papers arranged to look like flowers.

 

You as my half,

I’m as your half

I’ll love you as long as I breathe

 

When time goes by and we get wrinkles

You and I will be together like now

 

I’ll Ill love you more.

I’ll Ill take care of you If you cry,

If youre having a hard time, if youre hurt, Ill hurt with you

 

I’ll Ill love you forever,

I’ll Ill protect you forever

I’m thankful that

I’ve met someone like you

 

Yul put down the mic on the table and nervously kneeled in front of Solar and he took out a box in his pocket and opened it. He held out the box and bouquet of paper-looking flowers and looked up at Solar.

 

Solar, Will You Marry Me?

 

He sang the last part with a shy and nervous smile.

 

Solar was surprised, she sat there opening and closing , not knowing what to say. Although she dreamed of a woman proposing to her, it was still very heart warming to have Yul propose to her in a big way.

 

Solar just nodded dumbly.

 

Yul put the flowers on the table also and took out the ring on the box. It was a simple design, nothing too flashy but not cheap at all. Yul held out a hand, silently asking for Solar’s hand. Which the pink-haired slowly gave to him, and he slid the ring onto her ring finger without a hitch. It fit perfectly.

 

“How’d you know my size?” Solar’s eyebrows widened.

 

Yul scratched the back of his neck in shyness. “I asked your manager…”

 

Solar nodded and finally understanding why her manager had suddenly and very randomly asked for her ring size.

 

She gestured for Yul to sit down.

 

“You didn’t have to do all these…” Solar said with a smile.

 

Yul smiled back, “I know, but I thought people usually have the ring before the marriage, but it’d be no fun if I just handed you the ring.”

 

Solar looked at the ring and smiled brightly. It was simple but beautiful. When she looked up she was met with a very soft gaze. Yul was looking at her with a small smile, and she couldn’t help but smile back at him.

 

“Yul-ssi, Thank you.” Solar said looking at the ring again.

 

“You know…since there’s a ring now, there should be no need to be so formal…” Yul hinted.

 

“Yul-ah~” Solar blushed as she said his name.

 

Yul also blushed but his eyes became crescent moons and his face scrunched around his nose, dimples appeared on top of both cheeks. Solar’s smile faltered as a face immediately came to mind. Byulyi. That’s why she seemed so familiar! Are they family? They look too alike not to be…Do I have a crush on my fake husband’s sister?!

 

“Um…” Solar immediately regained her thoughts and thought of ways to bring up family.

 

Yul listened as he waited for Solar to say something.

 

“You said you have sisters right?” Solar started, though she winced internally for how random her question came.

 

Yul internally screamed, he was hoping that yesterday’s meeting with Byulyi was forgotten. He smiled nervously and nodded. “I have…3”

 

He decided to keep Byulyi as family, because it’s more suspicious if they looked so alike but not related.

 

“Are you the oldest?” Solar asked cautiously going toward the topic.

 

“Um, yeah…I have one born in ‘00, Seulgi and on born in ’08, Yesol.” Yul said slowly, subtly avoiding to say the third one.

 

“And the third one?” Solar’s head was nearly about to explode from the thoughts that jumbled inside.

 

Yul internally winced as he had no choice but to lie. “I-I have a twin named…B-Byulyi…” He couldn’t help but sigh as his real name came out from his lips.

 

“Byulyi…That’s a pretty name…Do you have a picture of her?” Solar acted surprised, even though she knew the girl’s name and face already. “O-Of all of them I mean…” Solar covered herself, it’d be weird to just ask for Byulyi’s picture.

 

Yul pulled out a picture of two young girls, they were at the beach grinning widely at the camera. But Byulyi wasn’t in the picture.

 

“What about B-Byulyi, you said her name was?” Solar said slightly disappointed the mentioned girl wasn’t in the picture. If she was, Solar would have gotten to see the twin in a bikini. She blushed as she caught herself, scolding herself internally.

 

The corner of Yul’s lips slightly turned down as he looked down nervously. “I’m not sure... she wants people to know what she looks like…”

 

Solar pouted, “Why is that?”

 

Yul scratched the back of his neck. “S-She says she wants to earn her own fame.” Which was true, Yul wasn’t lying at all.

 

Solar nodded in understanding, not wanting to push further but the pout on her lips was still apparent.

 

Yul bit his lower lip nervously. “I can…show you…but they have to promise to block her face….” He pointed at the cameras.

 

Solar looked at the cameras and pouted as she clasped her hands together asking them to not show Yul’s sister’s face.

 

The cameramen looked at each other and nodded. They didn’t want to get sued in case Yul’s sister was serious about not wanting to be seen.

 

Yul sighed again and took out his phone. He looked through his pictures until he landed a picture of Byulyi winning an award for one of her photographed art piece. Byulyi was grinning proudly at the camera and was looking exactly like Yul but as a woman.

 

Solar smiled at the photo, remembering her encounter with the girl. “She looks exactly like you…You’re both very pretty.”

 

Yul blushed at the compliment, and responded awkwardly. “Yeah…she’s my twin…”

 

Solar noticed. “You don’t get along?”

 

Yul smiled. “We do… very close actually. It’s just weird talking about her since I’ve never done it on camera before.” It was definitely weirding Yul out talking about her female self.

 

Solar nodded. “Do you think I can meet her…t-them I mean?” She corrected herself again.

 

Yul glanced at the cameras. “Not on this show but maybe without them?”

 

Solar nodded, excited at the thought of meeting the girl from yesterday again.

 

Solar heard someone clearing their throat and she turned to see two women, who looked only a few years older than them. They were smiling widely while staring at Solar.

 

Yul chuckled at the excited looks on his Noonas’ face. They looked like two eager puppies. “Um…Solar-Noona, These two eager-looking puppies are Noonas that are very close to me, they’re also the owners of this café.”

 

Bomi playfully slapped Yul on the arm at the comment. “Before this kid got famous, we were the ones that took care of him.”

 

Chorong rolled her eyes at the playful banter between the two and extended her hand towards Solar.

 

“My name is Park Chorong, this one is Yoon Bomi.” Chorong introduced them.

 

Solar took her hand and gently shook it, happy to meet someone who knew Yul. She wondered if Byulyi had met these two also.

 

“I used to come here a lot, especially when I wanted some peace away from my company.” Yul said.

 

“He would always come with a notebook and write so many different songs.” Bomi added in.

 

Solar smiled at the fond look that Chorong and Bomi gave him.

 

As a few more customers came into the café, the two excused themselves and left the couple.

 

“You seem to be a real ladies man.” Solar commented with a small smirk.

 

Yul blushed and shook his head. “I just like to make a lot of friends.”

 

“I heard you were also friends with Red Velvet.” Solar continued.

 

Yul smiled fondly at the thought of the SM girls. “Yeah, when I debuted I came to their room to give them a copy of my CD and they were just really nice and helpful to me since then.”

 

Solar smiled at this. This idol seemed to be very genuine.

 

“Sorry, there’s something wrong with the batteries…give us a second while we try to fix it.” The cameraman interrupted. The charged batteries seemed to be missing, so the idols were left to themselves while the cameramen sorted out the problem.

 

“I hope we can become friends through this show.” Yul said with a small smile.

 

“I’d like that.” Solar smiled genuinely at the solo artist. “You know you’re different from them.”

 

Yul raised an eyebrow and looked at his ‘wife’ curiously. “Different from who?...and how?”

 

“Unlike other male idols, I actually want to be friends with you.” Solar said with a smile.

 

Yul gave a grin that Solar came to like. She would prefer to see it on his twin sister but that wasn’t an option right now.

 

Their moment alone was interrupted by the cameraman coming back, with the camera on his shoulders ready to record again.

 

Yul smiled as he held out his hand, “Let’s go?”

 

Solar smiled back and took his hand.

 

“Leggo~”

 

DD Agency, CEO’s office:

 

The agency’s CEO paced back and forth as Yul sat on the couch looking apologetic and worried.

 

“So tell me, how did this happen again?” CEO Din Din questioned the idol.

 

Yul fidgeted with the ripped section of his jeans, and mumbled softly.

 

“Yul please speak up.” Din Din said slightly frustrated.

 

Yul sighed and finally looked up, “I went out to the park as real me and I bumped into Solar-ssi, and she brought up it up when I met with her on the show.”

 

“So…?” Din Din raised an eyebrow.

 

“So now I have a twin sister named Byulyi.” Yul looked down guiltily.

 

Din Din let out a frustrated sigh and ran a hand through his hair. “Okay, we can work with this.”

 

Yul looked at the CEO, waiting for his plan.

 

“It seems that Solar-ssi seems to be fooled with the idea of a twin, so let’s just continue it. I am sure that we haven’t mentioned how many sisters you have in any interviews, so it might just work.” Din Din said finally smiling. He sat next to Yul and put an arm around him, “Just pleeeeae be more careful from now on.”

 

The CEO actually cared about the young idol. Yul was like the child he never wanted, but ended up loving anyway.

 

Yul nodded, “I’ll be more careful.”

 

Yul’s Apartment:

 

Oppa, there’s a rumor going around that you have a twin sister, is it true? – Yeri

 

Byulyi stared at the last message on her phone, not knowing how to answer. She’s already felt bad for lying to her friends, but to add another lie would be suffocating herself with lies.

 

Yeah, her nam—

 

Byulyi deleted it.

 

No, it’s a li—

 

Byulyi shook her head, as she deleted her message again. She tossed her phone to the other end of the couch and she laid back and stared at the ceiling.

 

Byulyi knew she need to tell another lie, but she also knew if she added another lie, there would be no chance of becoming friends with the girls of Red Velvet.

 

She sighed and grabbed her phone. She didn’t deserve the girls as her friends.

 

Sorry for the late reply, are you guys free today?

 

Byulyi pressed send and waited for the reply. It was immediate.

 

De~ Why? -Yeri

 

Byulyi let out a nervous sigh and started typing.

 

You guys haven’t been over, and I thought it was time~

 

Byulyi sent her address and put her phone down on the coffee table. She nodded to herself. “It’s time.” She said with a firm tone.

 

She trusts that the girls won’t betray her, and she just hopes that they won’t hate her.

.

.

.

.

.

Byulyi has transformed into Yul, but he didn’t glue his wig on like he usually did, so that it was easier to take it off when he was ready to reveal himself…or herself to them.

 

He paced back and forth in his living, feeling very anxious of the whole situation, thinking of different scenarios of how it could turn out.

 

~Ding-Dong~

 

His eyes widened as he froze in his spot.

 

~Ding-Dong~

~Ding-Dong~

~Ding-Dong~

~Ding-Dong~

 

That constant ringing of his doorbell caused him to snap out of his frozen state. He shook his head and went to the door. He took a big breath in and let it out before opening the door with a warm smile.

 

~Ding-Dong~

~Ding-Dong~

 

“Yeri, you can stop now.” Yul glared playfully at the maknae of Red Velvet.

 

Yeri stopped ring the doorbell and grinned up at Yul. “Oppa, annyong~”

 

Yul smirked, rolled his eyes as he let the girls in.

 

He closed the door after letting all five girls in. He looked at them nervously, the girl’s smiling at his nervousness.

 

“Would you girls like water, soda, or juice?” Yul asked not forgetting to be a good host.

 

The girls sat down on the couch.

 

“Water for me, but the rest want juice.” Irene answered for all of them.

 

Yul nodded and came back with the drinks they wanted.

 

“So what’s up, oppa?” Seulgi said as she opened her bottle of juice.

 

Yul stood in front of them not knowing how to continue. He took a deep breath in and out, and said, “There’s something I need to tell you guys, and I just hope you guys won’t hate me.”

 

Wendy let out a smile. “I doubt that’ll happen.”

 

“I’m not sure, you’ll feel the same after what I need to say.” Yul gave them a nervous look, “I’m not who you think I am.”

 

Joy took a big gulp and looked up at Yul. “Are you an undercover cop, trying to bust corrupted people in the entertainment industry?”

 

Yul shook his head. “No, I’m no—”

 

“Are you a corrupted idol that needs to be caught by an undercover cop?” Seulgi asked.

 

Yul shook his again at the creative suggestion. “Um...no, I—”

 

“Are you a trained undercover spy sent to kill us?” Yeri asked with wide eyes.

 

Yul furrowed his brows together, “Definitely not.”

 

Irene gave a little chuckle. “Children, why don’t you let him talk first.”

 

The girls all closed their mouths and looked up at him with curious eyes.

 

Yul sighed, “That’s the thing, ‘him’ is the wrong term for me...” Byulyi removed her wig, and let her long hair fall down. “I’m a her.”

 

The girls stared at the newly-revealed girl infront of them, all their reactions different but not at all what Byulyi expected.

 

Yeri was widely grinning.

 

Wendy, Joy, and Seulgi had a smile on their faces.

 

Irene had a smirk on her face.

 

“Y-You’re not mad?” Byulyi asked.

 

All five girls simultaneously shook their heads.

 

“We already knew.” Irene plainly said, taking a sip of her water.

 

Yul looked at them, suddenly confused. “What do you mean you already knew?”

 

“Well, first of all, you’re the only male idol we know that has a well-guarded waiting room while you’re changing clothes.” Irene replied. “Seriously, no other boy group has bodyguards outside their door while they change.”

 

“You always smelled so feminine…like flowers…even when you’re sweaty.” Seulgi added.

 

Byulyi blushed, she probably should’ve used mens’ deodorant.

 

Wendy stood up and grabbed Byulyi’s face. “No man’s face is this smooth unless, you’re gay or twelve years old.”

 

Byulyi gently swatted away Wendy’s hands. Her CEO suggested she put fake stubbles on her chin, but she hated the look and it was just uncomfortable to put on.

 

“We saw your stomach.” Joy and Yeri said together.

 

“You had abs but we definitely saw curves.” Joy added, still smiling.

 

Byulyi did remember a moment last year, on her last stage for her first song, Joy and Yeri had gotten through her ‘guards’ and bursted into the room without announcing theirselves. Byulyi was in panic because she was still in the middle of changing, fortunately she had gotten her shirt on before her chest was exposed. Unfortunately she didn’t realize her stomach was seen.

 

“Also I’ve always thought you were too pretty to be a guy.” Yeri still had the same grin plastered on her face.

 

Byulyi fell defeatedly on the free space in between them.

 

“We were just waiting for you to tell us.” Yeri added. “We were actually very happy earlier when you didn’t lie to us about your ‘twin’.”

 

“Was I really that bad at being a man?” Byulyi asked exasperated but also relieved at the same time.

 

Irene reaches over and patted her shoulder. “Don’t worry, Yul…If we didn’t become so close to you, we would have never known.”

 

Byulyi looked towards Irene with worry-filled eyes.

 

Irene giggled and nodded. “Definitely.”

 

Byulyi gave a sigh.

 

“Yul Op—I mean Unnie?” Yeri corrected herself.

 

Byulyi sat up, “My real name is Byulyi.”

 

Yeri smiled at this. “Byulyi-unnie, how did the ‘twin’ rumor surface anyway?”

 

“Solar-unnie…” Byulyi gave another sigh, taking Irene’s water and drinking it.

 

The girls waited for her to continue.

 

“I accidentally bumped into Solar-unnie like this…” Byulyi gestured to herself. “And I thought it’d be too suspicious if there was someone that looks exactly like Yul but not related to him.”

 

The girls nodded in understanding.

 

“I guess that does make sense.” Joy stated.

 

Byulyi looked at all five girls and felt hot tears threatening to come out.

 

Seulgi noticed. “Unnie, are you ok?”

 

Byulyi tried her best to contain her emotions.

 

Irene chuckled a little before her head. “You kept it all to yourself?”

 

Byulyi couldn’t help it when she let out a small cry and let her tears fall freely.

 

All five girls had a hand on her, comforting the crying idol.

 

.

Mamamoo:

 

“Unnie, you’re the unluckiest person I know.” Wheein said as she plopped onto the couch next to Solar.

 

Solar was currently telling the members her day with Yul.

 

Hwasa sat next to Wheein, laughing at her unnie. “I’m sorry unnie, but it’s just really funny.”

 

Solar rolled her eyes. “Why couldn’t I just like guys instead?”

 

Wheein gave a chuckle, “Because they’re gross and annoying.”

 

Solar sat up and looked at the girls. “Yul isn’t that bad though…”

 

Hwasa smirked, “And that’s why you have a crush on your sister-in-law?”

 

Solar pouted, “She’s not really my sister-in-law!”

 

Wheein held up Solar’s hand with the newly bought ring on her finger. “As long as you were this ring, she is.”

 

Solar looked at the ring with a small frown. She thought the gesture was definitely nice, but it made her feel more guilty for feeling the way she was for the idol’s sister. And what was crazier was she didn’t even know the girl, she saw her only once but she was already daydreaming about the girl.

 

Wheein noticed the troubled look on their leader and decided to steer the topic to change the mood of their eldest. “So what’s the girl’s name again?”

 

The troubled look in her eyes changed into a dreamy look as Solar momentarily forgot about the male idol. “Byulyi.”

 

Wheein giggled lightly at the look on their leader’s face, not seeing this reaction in years since they’ve debuted. The funny thing was out of the three of them, Solar was the most irresistible one to the male species. The pink-haired beauty has gotten so many suitors but not one of them fit her preference. Mostly because she wanted a woman, but still most of the men were a little cocky and that was definitely not attractive. It was pleasant and amusing to see her dreamy over someone.

 

“I hope we get to meet her.” Hwasa said smiling fondly at their leader, supporting her happiness.

 

Solar sighed. “I hope I get to meet her again.”
