chapter six; now a shim

»  Changmin, the guy Donghae called out to, was rather tall and was eating a plate of ddubbokki when he saw Donghae. "Oh hey Hae!" he exclaimed as he walked up to them. "You're back here to working as a delivery boy?" he asked.

Donghae nodded and smiled. "Oh I have a favor to ask you since it has to do with my bodyguard job...." He looked at Dara and held her hand tightly since he was able to sense that she felt a little scared and nervous. "Can you pretend that Dara's your sister?"

The other male's eyes widened. He was amazed that it was that type of favor. "Why so?" he asked.

Donghae pulled him to the side along with Dara and whispered, "Her family was the family that was on the televisions lately... the one with the deal with the Ruby Syndicate."

"How old are you?" he asked. He needed to know whether he's supposed to call her noona or dongsaeng so they could act like they're really siblings.

"Nineteen..."

Changmin's eyes widened as he looked at Donghae then at Dara. "You're a year younger than me and Donghae?" he asked. He was surprised since he could swear that she looked as if she were only fifteen or sixteen.

Dara looked at Donghae. "I never knew you were twenty..."

Donghae laughed. "Yeah... well... about that... I
