Parting / Hair Part - Akdong Musician (AKMU) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSRUr6TZxQY   ----------------------- Narrator’s P.O.V:     “Are you sure you don’t want us to stay over?” Jonghyun glanced at Miyoung worriedly.   The three siblings had driven Miyoung back to her apartment right after leaving Inspirit Manor.   “Yeah, Mimi,” Yonghwa put a comforting hand on her shoulder. “You must be exhausted after everything that happened today.”   “No, I’m okay,” she assured, suppressing a sigh. “Really, I am. I think I’m just going to sleep a bit, though.”   The two brothers shared a contemplative look before mutually agreeing. Yonghwa smiled, looking more tired than Miyoung had ever seen him, yet more calm, as well. “Alright, we’ll leave.”   “Make sure to lock the door,” Jonghyun reminded, and Miyoung made a point to roll her eyes, “I’m not twelve, oppa. I remember.”   “It’s a habit,” Jonghyun mussed her hair as she made a face at him. Jonghyun stopped for a second before he gave her a hug. Miyoung blinked in surprise at first, but soon wrapped her arms around his sturdy back.   “…I’m fine, oppa. Seriously.” She whispered.   Jonghyun didn’t say a word more.   From the corner of his eyes, Yonghwa saw the embrace. His eyes softened. *These two have grown up so much, yet they seem like the four year olds they once were.* A forlorn smile appeared on his face before Yonghwa tackled the two, “Group hug!”   Miyoung and Jonghyun yelped as they dangerously teetered back. “Geez, oppa!” She scrunched up her nose at him in disapprovement.   “Leave him be, Miyoung. You know he’s just jealous of our sibling bond.” Jonghyun teased.   “Yeah? So what if I am? Huh? Huh?!” Yonghwa playfully rocked back and forth on his heels, making them almost fall again. Finally, Miyoung broke into laughter.   Jonghyun and Yonghwa both glanced at each other with a satisfied grin before smacking a kiss on their sister’s cheeks.   “Bye, Mimi!”   “See you, Miyoung.”   “Ew, gross! I told you, I’m not four anymore,” Miyoung pretended to be disgusted and wiped furiously at her face, suppressing the smile that threatened to appear. She knew that her brothers were just trying to help. It felt like she was being doted on again, much like when she was young.   Yonghwa and Jonghyun simply grinned at her and waved, making their way out the door, “Call us!”   “I will,” Miyoung gave them a small smile. Finally, when they disappeared into the elevator, she shut the door.   She sighed and rubbed her temples, letting herself fall back on the cushioned sofa. Once again, the apartment was quiet, leaving Miyoung to ponder over what had happened earlier.   *   “We’ll be taking Miyoung home now, then,” Yonghwa spoke up, resting an arm around his little sister’s shoulders.   Miyoung blinked in surprise before Yonghwa could drag her away, “Wait, what about Byunghun?”   Teen Top shared a skeptical look with the brothers.   “Um,” Chunji spoke up, “The thing is, Miyoung, it’ll take a while for news to spread about the ending of the war. If L. Joe goes back into the healer district, he won’t be safe as of yet.”   “How long would that take?” She demanded.   “Maybe a few weeks, at least. We want to make sure he’ll be safe there.”   Everyone seemed to monitor Miyoung’s reaction as she furrowed her eyebrows, “But Byunghun’s been fine at my place all this time. I—“   “That’s enough,” Yonghwa firmly said. She turned to face her brother, at a loss for words. From his tone of voice, she could tell that he was dead serious.   “What’s enough? I didn’t even say anything!”   “Miyoung,” a hand slipped over hers for a fraction of a second. Even though it was quick, she could feel the warmness radiating from him.   L. Joe was staring right at her, with the gaze that told her to trust him, “I just need to settle things here, okay? Don’t worry about a thing and go home safely.”   Miyoung had a million questions running th
