NARRATOR

“Ge!” Minhee stood up and pulled Kris into a very tight embrace. The older Wu laughed and hugged her sister back. It was a total sibling moment.

Sehun nudged the nearest person to him, D.O.

“What?!” D.O hissed, clearly annoyed.

‘Kris hyung… he’s laughing. Like, laughing naturally.” Sehun’s eyes were wide opened, his mouth slightly hanging.

The others heard Sehun and nodded in agreement. They looked at Kris in awe, and in shock.

Kris smiled brightly as he patted your head, poked your nose, flicked your forehead, or even talked to you. A smile always appears on his face when it comes to his sister. And because of the fact that he missed her.

“Daebak!” Kai clapped, and everybody joined in, except for Tao who was used to seeing Kris change with you. You tuned around, baffled.

“What’s with the round of applause?” You questioned, while they just continued clapping and laughing.

“Kris snickered behind you. “They’re bipolar.”

“Hyung, you’re here! And, you’re laughing!” Kai stood up and lightly punched Kris’ shoulder. Kris’ face went back to its normal state. “Yeah, I’m here. And I’m hungry.”

“Why didn’t you have the same flight with me, Ge?” Tao blinked, realizing the fact on his mind.

Kris glumly looked at Tao and rolled his eyes. “I wanted silence.”

Everybody started to laugh, with Tao muttering words under his breath.

“Let’s have dinner. Go.” Kris suggested, more like commanded, and pulled you out, the guys trailing behind with eager faces.

“I want this. And this. And this, wait—this is good too. Ugh.” Tao mumbled, his chin. The 9 of you settled on a private room in a western restaurant downtown. You sat beside Kris and Chanyeol.

“Minhee, I heard you like gelato?” Suho asked, his eyes transfixed on you. You cheerfully fiddled with your fingers, being giddy at the thought of gelato.

Kai chuckled. “You don’t have to say yes, you’re expression says it all.”

You shot him a look, but he just continued teasing you. “We can get gelato after.” Chanyeol suggested; his big smile showing. Everybody nodded in agreement.

“So… how’s it going here in Korea?” Kris placed his menu down and turned to you. You laughed nervously. “I behaved.”

His brow rose up, his lip pressed into a thin line. He turned to the other guys for approval.

“Well, she usually stays with us, or at home. But we pick her up most of the time.” Suho commented.

You smiled at that.

You looked at Baekhyun nervously. He had a smirk on his face.

You tried to communicate with him through your eyes, but he just mouthed. “You’re dead.”

*Aish, if Gege finds out I tried to escape, he’s gonna kill me.* Your eyebrows twitched at the thought.

“Good. Atleast you’re controlling yourself.” Kris poked you and smiled. You slightly laughed.

“Ah, yes, Ge.” Everybody turned back to what they were doing. Kris talked about stuff with the more mature thinking guys, and Tao laughed with Sehun, Chanyeol and D.O. You just sat there, looking at Baekhyun who was smiling innocently at you. You pouted, and he just chuckled.

After the dinner, you proceeded to the gelato store with the guys.  There were 9 of you, so it took time to order. But with you persuasiveness, your order came up first.

You walked towards a table on the near corner of the shop, mindlessly eating your gelato. You were about to raise another spoon of goodness in your mouth, when you bumped into something. Or someone.

A big buff man in a clad suit hissed in anger. “Are you blind?! Can’t you see what you’ve done?”

You blinked innocently. He raked his hair in frustration and urged you to look at his chest. Your eyes landed on the gelato stains on his black suit.

“Omo, I’m sorry.” You bowed repeatedly. The man slammed his palm on a nearby table. “What can your sorry do? You stupid girl!” His face showed anger. You felt yourself tremble at his loud voice. People in the store started to murmur things and look at you.

“I can pay for the cleaning—“ The man shut you up by holding your wrist very tight, his nails slightly piercing through your skin.

“Pay?! I’m supposed to go to somewhere, you little bit—“

“Let go of her wrist.” Kris stood beside you, his eyes transfixed on the man’s face. The man flinched a little, but he still maintained his hand on your wrist. He even tightened his grip, triggering Kris’ anger. The other guys stood behind him, and somehow they felt angry too.

“Let go of her, now.” Kris repeated, clearly fuming.

“Who are you to meddle with—“

“That’s on Armani Spring 2012 collection, right? We’ll send you a brand new one. Just let go, now.” Chanyeol had his jaw clenched as he talked.

The man blinked, baffled.

Tao immediately pulled the man’s hand away from you and glared at the man. “You don’t know who you’re messing with.” He hissed, flexing his arms. The man stiffened.

More people started to murmur and peek at the scene. A hand softly took hold of your elbow and pulled you out the shop.

“Are you okay?” Baekhyun asked, searching your wrist for anything. His eyes landed on the nail marks on your skin, and his brows furrowed.

“I’m fine.” You assured him, a worried expression on your face. “What’s the matter?” He asked.

You tiptoed to look at the shop windows. “Gege. He’s angry. And Tao Ge too. That’s bad.” You mumbled. Baekhyun understood at the moment. “Don’t worry, he’ll loosen up later. That man was really just intimidating.”

You nodded slowly, looking at the guys one by one come out of the shop. Chanyeol was ranting, with Sehun nodding at what he says.

“That man was an attention .” Kai hissed as they arrived at your spot.

Suho approached you and checked your wrist. “His nails.” He whispered. You looked at the mark on your wrist.

You jerked it away quickly. “I’m fine, really.” You smiled, hoping they would calm down, especially Tao, who was still clenching his fist. You approached him and opened his balled fists, gently massaging it.

“Ge, it’s fine.” You smiled, searching his eyes. He looked at you, his intense eyes burning,

“That bastard hurt you, mei.” He muttered.

Everybody tensed at Tao’s fuming state. He could just blow up any moment. He hates seeing his loved ones being looked down. Kai shot Kris troubled glances. Suho pulled you closer to him.

“Huang Zi Tao, That’s enough.” Kris’ voice was firm.

“Ge, he was—“

“I said, that’s enough.” Tao’s shoulder deflated and he shook his head. “Sorry, duizhang.” He mumbled.

“I’ll get her home now. We’ll see you guys tomorrow.” Kris nodded to the guys and sped off with you.

“I admit, I was pretty worked up when I saw Minhee being treated like that.” Kai blurted out.

They were all gathered in the living room of their unit, deep in thought. The others nodded at what Kai said.

“I think we’re getting really attached to her.” Chanyeol commented.

Tao looked up. “Hyungs. She’s a really special girl. I hope you see that. She easily makes people feel care towards her.”

Sehun nodded. “You’re right. She’s special.”

Suho looked at his friends and smiled. *Minhee captured us all. She is special. She’s Kris’ sister, but we feel like she’s our sister too.*

Baekhyun had a knowing smile on his face. *I knew she was different from the very start. It was until now that I realized it. She’s special. She can make people attached to her in a matter of days.*

At that very moment, you were comfortably huddled on your bed, your mind preoccupied. Kris entered your room and began switching channels on your television.

“Ge.” You called out.

“Hmm?” He replied, eyes glued to the television.

“I was wondering. My new Korean Oppas got angry too, at the shop.”

Kris looked at you. “An Ran, they care for you.”

“Really?” You asked, surprised. “I’ve been here for just about a week.”

Kris chuckled. “They’ve known you from my stories. And talking about you, it’s not something to be surprised with.”

You became silent, thinking of what Kris said.

They care for me? They do?

You softened and closed your eyes, letting the thoughts conquer your mind. A smile crepytup your lips but quickly vanished when a thought hit you all of a sudden.

I know they’re great Oppas, but I feel unworthy. Eve Kris ge can’t tolerate my habits. Am I really that spoiled?

Should I really change my habits?

Like what Baekhyun Oppa said?
