The ray of sunshine is blinding Sohyun's eyes, even though she is sleeping. She toss and turn to find a comfortable position. 'Wait a sec' she thought to herself and immediately get up. She look at her surrounding and she realised that she's in her room. "So it's just a dream" she mumbled to herself. She traced her lips with her index finger and said "But it felt so... real". After a few minutes, she convinced herself "Of course it's just a dream. Why would he kissed me anyway? Why did l even dream of THAT?"

Suddenly, someone interrupted her "Noona...!! Why did you get up so late today?". She averted her attention to her little brother "Oh, Do hyun-ah"

Worried, Do hyun asked her "Noona, are you okay?"

"Oh, of course l am. Why wouldn't l be?" reply Sohyun. "Uh, Do hyun-ah... "

"Um...? ". Sohyun wanted to ask about yesterday, but she thought that last night, he's already asleep. "A-aniya... "

"Noona... you better get dress soon. L.joe hyung said that he will call us when breakfast is ready" said Do hyun

"Arasso... " reply Sohyun. She look at the watch and..... "OH NO...!!!! " 

Her little brother just observed her actions and said to himself while chuckling "Noona will always be the same"

After Sohyun finished taking a bath and get ready for breakfast, she searched for her little brother in the room. But she can't find him anywhere. So she thought 'that kid must be at downstairs. Aigoo... why didn't he call me' . She came out from her room and was about to go downstairs, until she saw someone was walking towards her direction. She observed the face and her heart is beating fast than ever, when she realised that person was L.joe

She slapped herself because she cannot believe that she is feeling like that. "Hahaha... Are you daydreaming? Why did you slapped yourself?" asked L.joe while laughing after seeing her actions

"A-ah? A-a-ani" stuttered Sohyun. She asked back "W-what are you doing here?"

L.joe rise his eyebrow and reply "This is my house"

"Not that. l mean... what are you doing, walking towards my room?"

"Halmeoni told me to call you for breakfast"

"Well, what are we waiting for, let's go... " said Sohyun

"Wait... " said L.joe when she saw Sohyun go the other way. "Where are you going?" 

"Breakfast?"

"lt's this way" said L.joe while pointing the right direction

"A-ah... Why is this house so big? " said Sohyun to cover her embarassment and walk off first. From in front, she could hear L.joe laughed, and she knew that laugh was meant for her. While going downstairs, she thought to herself 'That's definitely a dream. He looks okay' , and she smile in relief

While enjoying their breakfast, L.joe's grandmother take this chance to say something "You all know that tomorrow we will go back to Korea right?"

"Yes" said Sohyun

"And you also know that tonight we have to go to the company right?"

"If you want to say something halmeoni, just say it. Don't beat around the bushes" said L.joe in annoyance

"Well, l want you three to come with me"

"Where to?" asked Sohyun and L.joe at the same time

"We must find a proper outfit for tonight's event"

"Ah..." said those three in snychronized

"So, after breakfast, we will go out okay?"

"Okay..." said Do hyun

While on their way to the shop, L.joe's grandmother couldn't help but noticed those two young teens. They always hold hands in the car, and that made her smile. Not knowing Sohyun's phobia for cars, of course

"Halmeoni, why are you smiling?" asked L.joe when he noticed that his grandmother is smiling widely through the mirrors

"Why? l can't smile?" asked her back sarcastically

"l didn't say that"

"Just focus on your driving"

"Yes ma'am"

 

---

Upon arriving their destination, L.joe's grandmother told Sohyun "The owner of the shop is our acquaintance, so don't be shy"

"O-oh... " the only thing Sohyun could say

As they enter the shop, the bell rang which make a girl turn around to see her customer

"Oh, noona" said L.joe

"Ji hyo-yah " said L.joe's grandmother

The woman known as Ji hyo greeted them "Omo... halmeoni, Byunghun-ah, what are you doing here?"

"lsn't this a clothes shop? Of course we came for that. Anyway, you're getting old..." said L.joe rudely , which cause him to get a smack at the head "OUCH...!!! What was that for...?!!"

"And you're still the rude boy as you ever be"

Awkward with the situation, Sohyun and Do hyun just kept quiet. For Sohyun, they all look like a family. Suddenly, she thought of something 'Just now he called her noona. Could it be, she's his sister?'

Ji hyo who noticed Sohyun and Do hyun quickly greet them "Annyeong"

Flustered, Sohyun reply as she bow politely "Ah- Annyeonghaseyo. My name is Kwon Sohyun, and this is my brother Do hyun. Nice to meet you" 

"l'm Song Ji hyo. Nice to meet you too. Ah, and don't be so formal. Just call me unnie" said Ji hyo

"O-okay, unnie" said Sohyun. She thought to herself 'Their last name is different. She must be someone really close'

"Aigoo... You're so cute"

"tch... She? Cute? Do you have any problem with your eyes?" mocked L.joe

" Yah... Lee Byunghun, don't you have any respect for girls?" asked Ji hyo

"Let's get on to the bussiness, shall we? " said L.joe

Ji hyo said to herself "Always try to run away"

"As you know, tonight is the usual company event. So, we want a proper outfit for tonight" said L.joe's grandmother. She then continue "Oh, and you can do makeover at them right?"

"Of course halmeoni. l can do it to you too"

"Aigoo... why would l need makeover at my age"

"You're still beautiful, halmeoni"

"Makeover? l thought this is just a clothes shop" asked Sohyun, confused

"This treatment is only for our VIP customer. Come on, let's pick some clothes for you" reply Ji hyo

Sighing, Sohyun mumbled to herself "This is going to be a long day"

This one day had been a very busy day. With hair and makeovers, no wonder Lee halmeoni told them to left the house early. While L.joe is doing his hair and makeover, Sohyun and Ji hyo is having a chat while trying on some clothes. "l forgot to ask, are you Byunghun's girlfriend?" asked Ji hyo

"W-WHAT...?!! No. Absolutely not" reply Sohyun with shocked

"Hahaha... Really? l thought you two are a couple. You seem so close"

"Nah... He just like to tease me, that's it"

"Hmm... He must've like you"

"Ha? How could that even be?"

"Teasing a girl. l think you're the first"

Suddenly, Sohyun's mind thought of the girl in front of the house. Until now, she never knew who te girl was. She remember L.joe and her are having a friendly conversation and that makes her say in whisper-like "No. l'm not the first one"

"You say something?" asked Ji hyo

"Ha? O-oh, nothing"

"l've known Byunghun since he was a little kid. He was like a brother to me. After his mother died, his world started to change. His father pay more attention to his work than him. lf l must be honest, his life seem so pitiful" said Ji hyo

Suddenly, Sohyun remember what L.joe had said 'l'm living a pitiful life'. She shook her head and said to herself "N-no. That's was just a dream"

Ji hyo continue "For him, his halmeoni is everything in this world. So, l'm glad that he has such a good friends. You too, don't leave him, okay? "

Sohyun remember about the promise 'They won't leave you. l won't leave you'

'You promise?'

'l promise'

Sohyun shook her head vigorously and chanted herself "lt's just a dream... it's just a dream" . She kept saying that over and over

"Are you okay?" asked Ji hyo

"Huh? y-yeah. Ah, what about this one?" asked Sohyun while showing the dress to change the topic

Ji hyo observed the dress and said "We have a lot of things to do"

Byunghun had already finished and now they are waiting for Sohyun. "Sheesh... What's taking her so long?"

"Be patient, Byunghun. You're late too"

"lt's because of the makeover. l told them that l don't need one cause l'm already handsome" said L.joe, while his grandmother just rolled her eyes

Suddenly, Ji hyo caught their attention "Sorry for taking so long"

"You should be" interrupted L.joe

Ji hyo give a glare to L.joe and continue "Sohyun, come out now"

They could hear Sohyun's steps and still waiting for her to showed up. When she revealed herself, they couldn't believe their eyes

L.joe had his eyes and mouth wide open. Like he couldn't believe it was the same person. His grandmother stood up in content and say "You look really beautiful"

"Are you really my noona?" ask Do hyun

"What does that suppose to mean?" asked Sohyun back

While they were chatting, Ji hyo tapped L.joe's shoulder and asked him "She look beautiful, doesn't she?"

"W-why are you asking me?" stuttered L.joe

"Omo... Did you just stutter?" teased Ji hyo

"Shut up"

Hearing their conversation, Sohyun take a glance at L.joe, and her reaction was almost the same when he saw him

For Sohyun, he looked different. She knew that L.joe is handsome. She admit it, but she won't in front of him. Maybe, he just becoming more handsome than usual day

"Okay. Let's move now" said L.joe's grandmother

When they were about to left the shop, L.joe's grandmother noticed something "Lee Byunghun, be a gentleman and take her hand"

"What...?!!" yelled them both

"Halmeoni, l can wa-" before Sohyun could finished her sentences, L.joe came to her and offered his hands. He said "Because it's a special day... "

Sohyun was hesitating for a minute, but in the end, she grabbed his hands and hold them firmly

"Omo... You two look like a couple" said Ji hyo

"Find yourself a boyfriend noona" said L.joe

"What...?!! Yah... Lee Byunghun" Ji hyo yelled in rage but L.joe just stick his tongue out. Sohyun couldn't help but laugh seeing those two. Suddenly, she felt like she's being dragged by someone. She look beside her and saw L.joe dragging her out from the store. "Let's go" said L.joe

"Um..." Sohyun nodded in agreement while smiling
