“See, he’s back.” Huihoon smiled and stood up from the chair to give his seat to the person who just walked in.

Taeng immediately sat down after patting the boy’s shoulder and held the girl’s hand, kissing it gently. “Sorry that I took so long. I was seeing the doctor.” He smiled.

Tiffany frowned, looking confused. She typed into the iPad that Huihoon lent her while he was keeping her company, and showed it towards Taeng.

Are you sick?

Taeng couldn’t help but to feel his heart breaking seeing the written words. Why do you even worry about me? I should be the one who worries.

“No, Fany-ah. I talked to your doctor. We talked about some stuffs.” He squeezed the hand and kissed the back of the hand again. Why do you suffer so much?

He couldn’t help but to feel sad again after recalling the conversation he had with Tiffany’s doctor.

Tiffany retracted her hand and typed in the iPad again.

What stuffs?

Stop talking to me through that, Fany-ah. Please, just say something. Taeng thought to himself.

His thoughts were interrupted when the girl nudged him with the iPad. She was waiting for his answer to her question.

“Stuffs like when you can leave this hospital. You want to go home right?”

She nodded excitedly.

“I have good news.” He grinned, all his worries started to dissipate as he saw the smiling face of hers.

She raised her eyebrows wondering what he meant by it.

“You can go home today.” Taeng said happily and watched for Tiffany’s reaction. He was nearly thrown off the chair when Tiffany threw herself at him. He quickly wrapped his arms around her so that they won’t fall due to the force. “Are you really that happy?”

She nodded and smiled.

“Really?” Taeng asked again. “Show me how happy you are.”

She looked confused for a minute but a sheepish smile was seen on her face before she leaned in and captured Taeng’s lips.

Taeng’s day couldn’t get any better, he felt overjoyed by her reaction and that kiss that he felt like shouting at the top of his lungs of how much he loves this girl. When she was about to pull away, Taeng didn’t let her and continued devouring her lips.

“OKAY! I get it, you guys are happy. Stop making me jealous.” Huihoon suddenly spoke, interrupting his Hyung and Noona’s kiss.

Tiffany pulled out and buried her face in her palms while Taeng shot the boy a glare. “You’re really asking for trouble, Hoon.”

“Aish, come on, Hyung. You can kiss Noona later.” He pouted. “I’ve been sitting with her for hours and she didn’t give me any.”

Taeng narrowed his eyes at the boy. “Any what?”

Huihoon grinned, and puckered his lips. “Kissy, kissy.” He said teasingly and hid behind Tiffany as fast as he could, afraid that he would get hit by his Hyung.

“YAHH!”

“Hyung, this is a Hospital. Keep your voices down.” Huihoon teased again, from the safety of Tiffany’s back.

Taeng scowled. “You brat.” He muttered under his breath.

“Noona, he called me a brat again.” Huihoon reported to Tiffany and pouted.

“Stop that disgusting behavior. Only I can do that to her.”

“Stop being so possessive, Hyung. Noona’s mine too.”

“What?! No way. I’m not sharing her with you.”

“Oh, come on. She likes me more than you.”

“Well, she loves me more than you.”

“That doesn’t mean anything. Noona thinks I’m funnier than you.”

“I’m taller than you!”

Huihoon scoffed. “Height doesn’t matters if you have the looks. Besides, you’re not even that tall. You’re a midget-like.”

Taeng glared at the boy. “I’ll give you 5 seconds to take that back.”

“Nope.” Huihoon stuck out his tongue.

Taeng didn’t count until the end as he has already launched himself at the boy, carefully avoiding Tiffany who was sitting on the bed between them. He held her in his right arm leaning her body away, and clutched Huihoon’s collar with his other hand. “Take that back.”

“Hyung, let me go.”

“Take your words back.”

“Why are you so sensitive? It’s just…” Huihoon shouted in pain as Taeng twisted his ear. “Hyung! That hurts. Noona, help me.”

Tiffany laughed seeing the scene and shook her head, signaling that she wants nothing to do with it.

“HAHA, even your Noona doesn’t want to help you.”

They kept on bickering and hitting each other while Tiffany laughed watching them being childish.

It was an amusing sight to her because of the close resemblance of the two boys who she held dear to her heart.

Thank you for always being there for me.

“Dude, what’s up with you?” Yul threw a ball of tissue to his friend who was zoning out while they were having dinner together. The dinner was the first time they got together after his one week honeymoon with his new wife.

“Huh?” Taeng snapped out of his thoughts. “I’m fine. How about you? How’s your honeymoon?”

Yul grinned. “It was awesome. I..” His grin grew wider. “I seriously think it was a good idea that Sica was saving herself for the honeymoon night. She was amazing.”

Taeng has a distorted expression on his face before it reddened in embarrassment. “What the hell? You don’t need to tell me about that. I was asking about your honeymoon generally. Not about that.”

Yul chuckled. “I know. I just want to let you know that.”

“You’re really disgusting, Yul.”

“What’s so disgusting about that? We made love, not dirty s’x. Although it was kinda…”

“Shut up!” Taeng cut him off. He felt hot and bothered that his friend was telling him about it. Wasn’t it supposed to be a private thing between him and his wife?

Yul laughed out loud seeing the blushing Taeng. “Auw, come on. I was just messing with you.”

“That’s not funny, you know. You shouldn’t tell anyone about that part of your honeymoon.”

“I didn’t exactly tell you what or how we did right? So it’s nothing really.”

“I’ll tell Sica about this.”

“Like you would do that. You can’t even bring the topic up without making your whole face red. I bet you’ll only stutter like a fool.”

Taeng frowned. “Jerk!”

Yul managed to laugh for a minute before recovering himself. “What is up with you anyway? Is that topic really sensitive to you? We’ve talked about it when we’re still in school.”

“No, I didn’t talk about it. You and Dennis talked about it, while I kept myself out from your disgusting imaginations.”

“Yah, we were kids back then. I didn’t think of women like that anymore. Especially not Sica.”

“But still, I can’t keep that talk out of my mind. You brought those images into my mind.”

“I thought you weren’t listening to us?” He smirked at Taeng.

“ARghh.” Taeng groaned. “Shut up, will you?”

Yul laughed again. “I think you’re ually frustrated.”

“What?”

“Oh, come on. You can’t talk about it, but it’s all you think about, right?”

“What the hell is that?” Taeng widened his eyes. “I don’t think about that at all.”

Yul scoffed.

“Seriously, I don’t even have time to think about that. Not when I haven’t settled anything yet.”

Yul raised his eyebrow. “What do you mean by that?”

“Nothing.”

He observed his friend suspiciously. “What have you been doing the past week?”

“Not much. I brought Tiffany home. Get her accustomed to my house. And everything after that is a repeated routine. In the morning, I’ll send her to the hospital for her therapy. Go to work, and fetch her home after she was done.” He answered his friend flawlessly. He wasn’t exactly lying, he just thinks that it’s best to keep some details out.

“Is that all you’ve done?”

“Yes.”

Yul furrowed his eyebrows.  “Nothing crazy on your mind lately?”

“I promised you a peaceful week, didn’t I?”

“True.” Yul nodded. “So what now? I came back and you’re going to start going crazy again?”

“I’m not crazy.” Taeng pouted.

“Fine, unstable maybe.”

“You’re insulting me, Yul.”

“If you don’t want me to call you that, then stop whatever you are planning right now.” Yul said coldly.

Taeng didn’t even look shock by his friend’s accusation.

“I know you’re planning something.”

“So?”

“Please stop it, Taeng.”

“And I told you that I won’t stop until I get my settling of scores. “

“At what expense? Your future?” Yul was in disbelief. “You can’t do it. I won’t let you.”

Taeng sighed. “Why don’t you support me, Yul? You’re supposed to be my best friend.”

“And what? Let you throw away your life?”

“I am not doing that.”

“You are, Taeng. Do you even think about what could happen if you proceed with this vengeance?”

“I did think about it.” Taeng’s voice softened. “But I can’t live with myself if I let him be out there, free as a bird. He doesn’t deserve it.” His eyes darkened at the thought of the guy.

“Taeng, we can do it the right way. We have laws and can keep him locked up for good.”

“I looked it up, Yul. He won’t be in there forever. That’s not enough for me.”

“But..”

“Taeng!”  A voice called for him suddenly.

Taeng snapped his head toward the voice and saw Jessica walking towards them with Tiffany in her embrace. He immediately stood up and ran towards them.

“What happened?!” Taeng asked worriedly. He peeled Tiffany from Jessica and immediately pulled her towards his body, embracing her in a protective stance.

“Someone bumped into her and she thought that…” Jessica trailed off, looking very guilty while Yul was already at her side, his arms around her shoulder, comforting her. She was too in quite
