“Kim Myungsoo, the school prince.” Pil Suk replied once again, repeating her words.

Pil Suk was unable to believe it, the stranger who was standing right in front of her. She was unable to get her eyes off Myungsoo, as she scans him from head to toe. Her mind suddenly rushes back to the incident, when he came out and protected her. The ba-thump ba-thump feeling suddenly appears inside her, her heart beat crazily. How lucky she is, having Jieun as her sister.

It was something of the opposite that happens. Jieun thought Pil Suk would be heart, seeing her bringing the stranger who used to hurt her. Myungsoo will always be a remarkable memory to the siblings because he was the one who turn their happy life around. Jieun wouldn’t have suffers and Pil Suk wouldn’t have committed a suicide if Myungsoo didn’t existed.

But right now, Pil Suk was smiling. Jieun could feel the happiness filling Pil Suk’s heart. The atmosphere turns into excitement as she guides Myungsoo to come in. Pil Suk keeps on smiling and she looks to be enjoying the tutoring Myungsoo gave her. She paid every single attention to him, different when Jieun was the one to tutor her.

Myungsoo’s eyes wander around the room. It was very clean, despite it big area. There’s no sign of a servant or a maid working there. He couldn’t feel any presence except hers and Pil Suk’s. It’s like they left alone and he only saw two rooms inside the apartment.

He sat on the couch; Pil Suk was gone, helping her sister in the kitchen. At first, he thought her parents are too busy to stay at home frequently. Maybe, just like his, they care a lot more about work and just to abandon their children. Myungsoo was used to it already, but he didn’t think Jieun is.

However, it all soon becomes clear to him. Lee Ji Eun lives alone, and Pil Suk was the only family she has. He didn’t spot anything that belongs to someone other than Jieun or Pil Suk. How could he know? Well, he knows Jieun quite well after their date, he know her taste and also her size. And for Pil Suk, the way she dressed just now has told him clearly how her taste is. There is nothing in this place that doesn’t belong to the siblings and there’s no photo of their parents.

His tongue wanted to spill the question to Jieun, as soon as he spotted her coming out from the kitchen. She was bringing him some tea and cookies. He could feel his urge to ask her, but he holds it back. She seems too happy to be broken today. And he has shouted at her twice today, he doesn’t want to hurt her anymore. It’s enough for today.

Soon, the tutoring start. Pil Suk seems to be immersed to the lesson while Jieun is busy doing things. She was still wearing his jacket, even after Myungsoo requested her to take it off. From time to time, he would take a glance at the lady, looking at her in details.

“L-oppa! Oppa! How do I deal with this question?” Pil Suk asked, just to be ignored by him.

“Oppa! L-Oppa! Myungsoo-oppa!” Pil Suk called him once more.

L-oppa, Myungsoo asked her to simply call him with that name. It was his way, to distant himself from other he didn’t want to get to close with. He only let a few people to call him with his real name, Jieun was one of them. Only the people he trust and people him know well enough could call him with that name. The rest of them, they know him with the name L. But does Jieun ever realize that?

“Ah, Pil Suk. I’m sorry. Is there anything wrong?” Myungsoo blink and shook his head before turning to Pil Suk, answering her question.

“L-oppa, how do I deal with this one?” She asked, rubbing her head as if she was thinking hard.

“Oh, it’s simple. Listen to me, Pil Suk.” He started to drabble on a piece of paper and explaining everything in details to her. And she pays much attention.

However, once again she managed to ruin his mood. He suddenly heard her giggle and laughing cutely and when he spotted her, he couldn’t help but feel a burning feeling. Jieun ran her fingers to the jacket’s pocket and found a small nice written pink note. Something Nam Woohyun’s gave to her and it makes her so happy. She giggled and brings the note with her, entering her own room, like a teenage falling head-over-heels for a boy.

Damn it!

Jieun couldn’t help but feel happy when she found Nam Woohyun’s note for her. It brings back memories from long ago, when Nam Woohyun was trying hard to get close to her. Every day, he would sticks note on her locker and as time passes she would replied those notes back. It’s been a while since they talk to each other that way.

It was a pink note, something Woohyun would leave for her if he’s too shy to say it out loud. Sometimes, he would stick it on her books, or sometimes in front of her door. Woohyun never really came to her place and play, but he sometimes pass by her house just to leave a note there. It’s been three months since she read the last note he gave her.

Pink, she knows Woohyun really loves pink. She wasn’t a fan of pink too, she prefers pastel colors. Well, pastel pink is one of her favorite and peach is something she loved the most. Woohyun may already know that fact but well, he really likes giving her something pink in color. Just the color already causes her to giggle.

Soon, she opens the notes and laughs even harder. The message caused her to laugh out loud and since Pil Suk is studying outside, she tried to keep it down but it suddenly just burst. Woohyun is not a good writer, he could speak and talk really well, but writing isn’t something created for him. He’s handwriting was a mess up, she hardly read them and when he tried using English, all the spelling are perfectly wrong.

But from all of those not understandable notes, there is one thing about the notes that Jieun loves the most. It was the way he writes his name, it wasn’t in hangul or English, it’s simply the words she loves the most. A part of his name that could sound cute and adorable. It always managed to get her feel better. That is why his notes are important because those notes are her mood booster.

This time, after having a hard time figuring out what he meant, she finally found it. It took her almost fifteen minutes to understand such a simple note. She smile widely, how idiotic that guy could become. Her smile broken into a grin as she spotted his name.

Princess, take care of yourself. Don’t get sick, okay?

Woonie~

Woonie~, she really loves how that words sounded. It sound cute and adorable, it was refreshing to her. She doesn’t know the exact reason why she would love that name very much. She knows Woohyun hated to be called, Woonie, since it was childish and too cute for a teenage boy. He too hated to be called a boy; he prefers to be called a man. Despite the fact, he would gladly did it if it means making Jieun to be happy.

Jieun giggled again, as she took out her phone to call him. Nam Woohyun is actually a caring guy, sometimes without her noticing it, he always keep an eye on her. It could be extremely annoying and a bother but when you understands him, you would feel safe.

Oh, she shouldn’t call him. She should wrote another notes and stick it on his locker tomorrow morning. It would be a nostalgic one and she is sure that Woohyun would be happy because of it. She pulls a pen and a piece of pink-paper post it.

I’m taking care of myself and having fun. Thank you, werewolf boy.

Jieunnie a.k.a IU

It was a playful side of Jieun that rarely appear; even Woohyun has difficulty to find the playful Jieun. Werewolf boy, Jieun also like to tease Woohyun with that name. And Woohyun loves to call her IU, although she prefers to forget that used to be name of hers. But since Woohyun gladly being called as Woonie, Jieun too would gladly being called IU in return.

The sky has turn dark blue, right before turning into a pitch black darkness. Kim Myungsoo has yet to leave her home, instead he has been busy teaching Pil Suk. It’s been a complete 2 hours of studying yet Pil Suk shows no sign of being tired. She even pay much more attention than before, trying to solve every single question before.

Jieun took a seat next to Pil Suk, observing things they have studied. It was quite a lot of things and stuff and Jieun was impressed because Pil Suk was able to learn all of them in one go. It was an impressive work of Kim Myungsoo, Jieun never thought Pil Suk would ever be able to go that far.

“Myungsoo-ssi, its 6 already. You should go home.” Jieun warned him politely.

“Jieun-ssi, could I stay a little longer? We almost finish the book.” Myungsoo whines as a smirk appear on his face.

“Myungsoo-ssi, it’s not good staying on a girl home late at night.”

“Calm down, Jieun-ssi. I’m not a bad guy.”

“Myungsoo-ssi, I’m sorry. You could come again tomorrow.” Jieun insisted.

“Unnie, it’s okay. We almost finish. Just let him stay for a few more minutes.” Pil Suk tried to calm the two down, although the tense atmosphere wasn’t there yet.

Jieun sighed, she couldn’t refuse her sister request especially when she put such a sweet smile. Pil Suk seems to be enjoying the tutoring and studying, it’s impossible to ruin it right now. Jieun gave up as she sighed again, looking up to Myungsoo and Pil Suk as she burry her face under her arms.

“Okay, then. But not too long, okay?”

“Of course, Jieun-ssi.” Myungsoo replied as his smirk grows even wider.

A few more minutes, not too long.

You should try to define that, Jieun waited almost for an hour so Myungsoo would go home soon enough. However, until the clock strike 8, he has yet to leave. Every time she throws a warning to him, Pil Suk would defend her with the excuse that they are almost done. Myungsoo would give her an evil smirk every time it happens.

Jieun has waited for a long time, for the two to be soon finished but they have yet to finishes it. The clock has strike 8 and Myungsoo has yet to leave. Jieun keeps on hoping he would leave soon since she was too tired already, but it didn’t happen. Jieun joins their study session, observing everything they have learnt. It was quite a good process despite the long time it tooks.

Jieun actually was having fun. She keeps taking glances at Myungsoo who seems serious on tutoring Pil Suk. She finally find another side of him, his serious and curious side. It was quite cool actually, his expression. Jieun watch how his expression constantly changes from time to time and she enjoys watching it.

Jieun finally collapse since her body can’t take it any longer, she has been physically tired for the last few weeks. It’s understandable that she collapse at 8 o’clock, too early to sleep. And soon the clock its half an hour before the clock strikes 9. Pil Suk was tired too; she couldn’t use her brain any longer. She was drained to the core, as she has no more drops of energy left.

Myungsoo has asked her to go to her room and prepare for bed; he too used to have a little sister. He has also asked her to take care of Jieun as soon as he left. And now, it’s the two of them left before Myungsoo leave and head home. Pil Suk was in her room by now and Jieun is sleeping soundlessly in front of him.

He smiles as he watched her asleep. She was very calm and peaceful, her face didn’t wrinkle at all, and her eyebrows didn’t twitch. She was very peaceful and it makes Myungsoo feel better. He too was tired after tutoring Pil Suk for more than 3 hours. But seeing Jieun asleep makes him feels relax.

He let his fingers run through her long silky-smooth hair, it was very soft. He could smell her scent, her peach scent and also her shampoo. It was a mixture of fruits and flowers, it was a nice scent. Soon, he leans closer to her as he whispers a good night to her ear. He patted her head gently. And finally planted a kiss on her head, he could smell her shampoo.

The Sleeping Beauty is asleep again.

Jieun flush deep red, turning into a tomato. Her cheek heated and turns pink, she couldn’t help but blush. She was asleep, however when Myungsoo run his fingers through her hair and caressing it, she wakes up. She isn’t a heavy sleeper, she has told it to Myungsoo, and she could wakes up by a single touch. She too was awake when he suddenly patted her head and kisses her head. She was blushing deeply because of the kiss.

Kim Myungsoo has just planted a kiss on her, a gentle and lovable kiss.
