“And what will you do now?” Eli asked as he pressed Yunhee’s arms against her back. Yunhee groaned while she gritted her teeth. “I’m not going to lose to you.” Yunhee said with a cold voice as she kicked him on the shinbone with her left leg. Eli flinched in pain as he let go of Yunhee. “YA! Stop using all the girly tricks! This is not a fight!” Eli exclaimed as he rubbed his leg. “Why? They work so well.” Yunhee smirked at Eli. Eli frowned as he straightened his back. “Why did I even get you as my training partner?” Yunhee just shrugged. “Ask the teacher.” Yunhee said as she sat down on a nearby mattress in the gym. “Why do you even need a partner? Aren’t you like the best in the class?” Eli flashed a proud smile. “We are uneven this year. I need someone to use the techniques on to see if they work. I assume the teacher chose you because you are the best girl at taekwondo.” Yunhee sighed. “I used to be. I don’t do it anymore.” Eli sat down next to Yunhee. “Why not? Scared to get beat up?” Eli teasingly said as Yunhee just glared at him. “No… I misused a very dangerous technique and someone got really, REALLY hurt… So I decided to stop for safety reasons.” Eli was now curious. “What technique?” Yunhee laughed. “You believed that? Gosh you are an idiot!” Eli frowned as he pushed Yunhee over. “But I did decide to stop but that was because my teacher was a filthy pig.” Yunhee made a disgusted face as she remembered her old teacher. “What did he do?” Yunhee looked to the floor. “Things you are not supposed to do to a student.” She plainly said as she stood up. Eli was about to ask more about it but Yunhee stopped him. “Should we practice, properly this time?”

 “Aw man!” Eli exclaimed as he rubbed his thighs. “How can you not be sore or tired?” Eli asked as he sat down while taking a bottle of water from his bag. Yunhee shrugged. “I’m in pretty good shape.” Eli tilted his head. “So am I but I still can’t handle this much training.” Yunhee smirked. “So the big strong Eli can’t handle a little bit of hard training huh?” Yunhee’s voice had a teasing tone to it. Eli narrowed his eyes as he stood up. “Are you saying I’m weak?” Yunhee shook her head. “I never said that.” She flashed a big teasing smile as she started to walk towards the door of the gym. The frown on Eli’s face quickly disappeared as his eyes focused on Yunhee’s bottom. “Damn her looks good in mini shorts… I bet it looks even better without them.” Eli smirked to himself as he let his thoughts run wild. He then regretted his decision when his lower parts started to show their excitement. “.” He muttered as he took his bag to cover it as he walked out of the gym.

As Eli and Yunhee reached home, they noticed that Mr and Mrs Kim was packing the car with suitcases. “Where are you going this time?” Eli asked as he put down his bag. “We are going on a business trip to Singapore and then Japan and then Taiwan.” Mrs Kim said as she fixed Eli’s bangs. “How long will you be gone?” Mrs Kim gave a kind smile. “Only two weeks.” Eli and Yunhee’s eyes went wide. “TWO WEEKS?” They talked in sync. “Now, now.” Mr Kim said as he came out with the last suitcase. “You two are almost adults and you won’t die trying to live on your own.” Yunhee tilted her head in confusion. “So AJ will be gone too?” Mr Kim nodded as he put his hand on Yunhee’s shoulder. “He is going to take over my company one day, so he needs to learn as much as possible.” Yunhee just nodded. “But Eli is the eldest… Why isn’t it him?” Yunhee got pulled out of her thoughts as AJ came down with a couple of her books in his hands. “I’m borrowing these.” AJ said cheerfully as he came close to Yunhee. “I promise I won’t lose them.” Yunhee just smiled at him while giving him thumbs up. “All righty brother.” Yunhee said. AJ couldn’t help but chuckle. “I wish you were going with me though. I think I’ll need some laughing time.” Yunhee patted AJ shoulder. “You can call me on Skype whenever you feel like it. You know I’m up over half the night.” They exchanged smiles. AJ gave Yunhee a small hug as he whispered in her year. “Beat him if you have too.” Yunhee held back a laugh as she didn’t want Eli to be suspicious. “Don’t worry, I will.” They winked at each other, which Eli noticed. “Since when did they become this close?” AJ waved at his brother and then at Yunhee. “You are just doing this so you can skip the chemistry test next week.” Eli teased as AJ just stuck his tongue out. “Have a safe trip.” Yunhee said as Mr and Mrs Kim came to say their goodbyes. “There is money on the counter in the kitchen and if you need more just call us and we will send more. Take care of yourselves now.” Mrs Kim said as she hugged both Eli and Yunhee in a group hug. “Yes mom.” Eli said as his mother gave him a kiss on the cheek. They all waved at each other at the car drove off.

Eli turned to Yunhee as the car was gone. “So when did you an AJ become siblings?” Yunhee just gave him a kind smile. “You spend most of your time out so you don’t really see what we do when you’re not home.” Yunhee simply said as she walked into the house. “Btw… You are on your own with dinner. I have a soccer match tonight and will be leaving soon.” Eli tilted his head. “Will you be going alone?” Yunhee looked back at him with a -are you serious- look. “I’m going with 10 other girls, so yes I’m completely alone.” Eli sighed. “That’s not what I meant… Is there anyone who is going to cheer for you there?” Yunhee tapped her chin. “Kevin is coming.” Eli frowned. “Urgh Kevin…” Yunhee saw his expression and smirked to herself. “Someone’s jealous.” Eli looked at Yunhee with a breathtaking smile. “Well I hope you lose.” Yunhee gritted her teeth. “Aish… This guy…” She muttered. Eli just simple walked past her as his hand slightly brushed against her thigh. Yunhee froze as Eli looked back at her with a smirk. “Mini shorts are a dangerous thing.” Eli winked as he disappeared up the stairs to take a shower. That was when Yunhee realised something. “I’m spending two weeks alone with Eli…. Oh… My… !”  Yunhee was ready to slam her head against the nearby wall but stopped herself. “This is not going to be fun, at ALL!”

Yunhee dragged her body alongside Kevin as she was totally bummed out from the match. “Ya, Walk properly.” Yunhee just groaned. “I am SO tired! Carry me please..” Yunhee put out her arms out at Kevin. Kevin Just put them down her sides again. “No..” Yunhee made a pouty face full of aegyo. “Boooh.” Kevin chuckled. “It’s your own fault for training all day with Eli.” Yunhee nodded. “Yeah I know but the teacher asked me too. If he hadn’t asked I would’ve never helped. Besides… I kicked his !” Yunhee flashed a triumphing smile. Kevin couldn’t help but chuckle at how happy Yunhee got when she talked about beating Eli’s up. “It seems my competition isn’t as bad as I thought.”

“Eli you jerk!” Yunhee yelled as the front door was locked and her key was missing. She rang the doorbell. “Come on!” she was getting really annoyed now. It took almost 20 minutes before Eli decided to open the door. He had a huge grin on his face as he appeared in the door. “Oh you didn’t have your key?” Eli said as he held his hand up with Yunhee’s key in it. She walked inside without even giving him a glance. “So did you lose?” Eli asked as Yunhee was on her way upstairs. “5-2… So yes we won.” Eli watched Yunhee disappear upstairs. “Lies.” Eli loudly said after her. “You just wish you were as awesome.” Yunhee said back as she closed the door to her room.

“Almost… You are missing a reaction here.” Yunhee gently said as she tried her best to tutor Eli in chemistry. "What reaction?” Yunhee pointed at two the second problem. “The one with H₂O… You need to have as many H’es on this side as that side otherwise it’s uneven and wrong. How many do you still need?” Eli scratched his head. “Uhm… I dunno, three?” Yunhee flashed a smile. “Correct!” She patted Eli on the shoulder. “I knew you could do it.” Eli raised his eyebrow at Yunhee. “Why suddenly so nice?” Yunhee looked down at him. “People need encouragement to do a good job. Unless you prefer that I’m mean?” Eli quickly shook his head. “Good then.” Yunhee looked at the time. “Oh shoot!” Eli curiously looked at Yunhee. Yunhee noticed. “I need to get ready for my date.” She simply said as she walked towards the door of Eli’s room. “But we are not done.” Eli said in a cold tone. “Oh yes we are… Two hours is more than enough for one day.” Eli frowned as Yunhee walked out to take a shower. “Aish… I need to do something… She can’t go out with Kevin!”

Kevin had invited Yunhee out for a movie and afterwards a walk in the park. Yunhee started at her closet for a good 15 minutes before she finally got an idea on what to wear. She took a pair of army green skinny jeans with a white long sleeved blouse and a black west. She then accessorised with a bracelet and a long necklace that had an owl with purple eyes on it. She chose her purple sneakers to match the necklace and then fixed her hair in a messy knot on the back of her head. “Not too girly and not too boyish. Perfect.” Yunhee said with a pleased smile as she started to put on her makeup. Yunhee had just put her mascara down when the doorbell rang. She looked at the time. “He’s freaking a half hour early!” Yunhee heard Eli shout from downstairs. “I got it!” Yunhee sighed. “Saved.” Yunhee heard Eli teasingly greet Kevin as she frowned. “Maybe not saved after all.”

 “So you are taking her out?” Kevin just nodded as he sat down at the kitchen table. “Where are you going?” Kevin just glared at Eli. “Like I will tell you that… You’ll just ruin it.” Eli smirked. “Oh Kevin, I can ruin it whiteout even being there.” Kevin narrowed his eyes but said nothing. He really didn’t feel like bothering with Eli right now. “Do you know when she’ll be ready?” Kevin asked as he looked to the hall. “Nope.” Eli just leaned against the kitchen counter with a thinking look on his face. “I’ll just go tell her to hurry for you.” Eli said as he walked to the stairs. Kevin breathed out. “Urgh that was awkward.”

“Hey Yunhee! Loverboy is waiting.” Eli’s voice was teasing as he entered Yunhee’s room. He immediately stopped and stared at Yunhee. “Woah… She looks… Hot.” Yunhee smirked as she saw Eli’s face. “To bad this isn’t yours.” Yunhee ran her hands down her body to point out what Eli was missing out on. She turned back to the mirror to finish up but got distracted when Eli chuckled behind her. Suddenly Yunhee felt herself being pulled into a back by Eli. His hot breath tickled her neck as his hands were placed on her waist. “Who says it won’t be?” Eli huskily asked as he gave Yunhee’s neck a tender kiss. Yunhee shivered form his actions and felt her face heat up. “What is this? AAAHHH… Why aren’t I doing anything?” Eli then moved his hands up and down Yunhee’s sides. Yunhee felt herself becoming uneasy. Eli placed one last kiss on her neck before turning her around and whispering in her ear. “You look really hot.” Yunhee gulped as her face turned bright pink. Eli palmed her face with his right hand and leaned closer. “No no no no..” Eli was only inches away from Yunhee’s lips when he stopped and pulled away. “Enjoy your date.” Eli winked as he walked out. “WHAT THE HELL?” Yunhee placed her hands on her flustered face. “This cannot be good.”  

Kevin was waiting at the bottom of the stairs while Eli was standing in the doorway to the kitchen with a sly smile on his lips. “Wauw! You look amazing! It’s so you.” Kevin exclaimed as he saw Yunhee. Yunhee flashed a pleased smile and gave Kevin a tight hug. “Thank you… You don’t look so bad yourself. I like the skinny jeans.” Yunhee said with a chuckle. “What’s so funny?” Kevin asked as he pouted. Yunhee just shook her head. “Nothing… Should we get going?” Kevin nodded as he took her hand. Yunhee glanced at Eli before they turned towards the door. “This will be fun.” Eli thought as the front door shut.

“Hey Yunhee!” Eli shouted as Yunhee and Kevin was almost 3 houses down. “Your dad is calling.” Yunhee looked confused. “Why didn’t he just call my cell?” She turned to Kevin. “I’ll be right back. I’ll just tell him to call later.” Kevin nodded as he watched Yunhee run back to the house. Eli smirked to himself as Yunhee ran past him. As Yunhee reached the phone she noticed that there weren’t any call for her. “God damn it Eli!” Yunhee exclaimed as she turned to walk out the door again. Eli stopped her by blocking the door. “Move.” Yunhee said as she placed her hands on her hips. Eli just simply shook his head. Yunhee frowned as she tried to walk past him. Eli took Yunhee’s wrists in a firm grip as he pressed her against the opposite wall. “I’m not letting you go out with that pretty boy.” Yunhee felt her body heat up as Eli pressed himself against her. She smirked at him. “Someone is jealous.” Yunhee’s voice was teasing as locked eyes with Eli. “I’m ordering you to stay home.” Yunhee narrowed her eyes. “You can’t tell me what to do.” Eli’s grip around Yunhee’s wrists tightened as he smirked. “Try having a good date after this then.” Eli leaned down to Yunhee’s neck and placed a wet kiss. Yunhee’s eyes got wide as her heart started to beat faster. Eli started to place more kisses over her neck until he found her sweet spot. Yunhee held back a moan which Eli noticed. “Don’t hold back if you like it.” He started to on the spot, leaving a dark hickey that would be visible to everyone. Yunhee bit down on her bottom lip as she tried her best to not give in. “This is SO WRONG! But it feels so good…” Eli smirked as he heard Yunhee’s unsteady breathing. “Oh am I turning you on now?” He Yunhee’s neck before letting her go. “Don’t let him wait too long now.” Eli touched his own lips with the tips of his fingers as he walked off. “Hot damn.”

“You wanna watch that?” Yunhee asked with a frown appearing on her face. Kevin nodded. “But it’s a love movie.” Kevin shrugged. “So?” Yunhee’s frown grew deeper. “Love movies . The happy endings are so unrealistic and so… Urgh.” Kevin chuckled. “You are such an interesting girl.” Yunhee gave him a confused look. “What I mean is… You are you and I love it.” Kevin flashed a breathtaking smile. Yunhee quickly looked to the movie chart again. “If you wanna watch a love movie, then let’s watch that one. It looks better.” Kevin gave a triumphing smile. He loved romantic movies after all. As Yunhee was watching the chart Kevin noticed the hickey on her neck. He took Yunhee’s shoulder in a firm grip as he inspected her neck. “Where did you get that?” Yunhee blushed as she looked away. “Uhm… Nowhere…” Kevin frowned. “Eli did it, didn’t he?” Yunhee sighed in defeat. “Yes.. But it was not my fault!” Kevin looked to the floor. “No use in crying over spilled milk. I just wished I was..” Kevin stopped himself from speaking out loud. “I wish it was me who had made that.” Yunhee gave an apologetic look. “Kevin just shook his head. “Don’t worry about it.”

Yunhee glanced back towards the main entrance as she felt someone watch her. Kevin gave her a worried look. “Everything okay?” Yunhee just nodded as she flashed a warm smile. “Yeah, let’s just get in before the movie starts.” Kevin took Yunhee’s hands as they disappeared into of the cinema halls. “I’ll be waiting for you, Yunhee.”

Yunhee regretted her movie choice as she saw how many couples there were sitting and cuddling around the room. “Why is all I’m thinking off Eli?” Kevin noticed her uneasy expression. “Should we just go?” Kevin asked as he laid his hand on Yunhee’s. Yunhee just shook her head as she felt her cheeks get hotter. “No it’s fine.” Kevin chuckled. “You don’t have to watch this for me.” Yunhee looked up at Kevin as she bit her lip. “But you wanted to watch a love movie.” Kevin gently smiled. “Yes but I don’t want to force you to see one.” Yunhee looked to the screen. “It will be a waste of money if we leave before it’s done.” Kevin just nodded and sat back in his seat, without removing his hand from Yunhee’s. Yunhee slightly turned her hand so their fingers were now tangled together. Kevin couldn’t help but smile at Yunhee’s small gesture and he could clearly see Yunhee’s flustered expression in the light of the screen. “First step complete.”

“I never thought I would ever be this happy to get out of the Cinema.” Yunhee said as her and Kevin was walking towards the nearby park. “Well I hope this didn’t ruin our date for you.” Kevin worriedly asked as he took Yunhee’s hand into a firm grip. Yunhee shook her head. “Don’t worry… It was nice being in there with you, even though the movie .” Yunhee flashed a breathtaking smile which made Kevin’s cheeks blush. “She needs to stop smiling like that…” Yunhee squeezed Kevin’s hand a little as they could see the park in front of them. Suddenly a black van pulled up next to them. Yunhee quickly reacted and pulled Kevin behind her. “Stay still.” Yunhee whispered as a few guys exited the van. Yunhee’s eyes grew wide as a very familiar person stood before her.

“What do you want?” Taejoon walked closer and gently glided his fingers over the little scar from their last meet up. “We need to clear this.” Taejoon’s voice was low and deep as he looked straight into Yunhee’s eyes. “Fine.” Yunhee said as she saw the seriousness in Taejoon’s eyes. “But it will only be you and me. No bait and none of you baboons.” Taejoon smirked. “As you wish.” Taejoon gestured for his gang members to leave the area. “And what about Kevin?” Taejoon asked as he glanced behind Yunhee. Yunhee looked back at Kevin. “He was just leaving.” Yunhee said as she gave Kevin a -get the out of here- look. Kevin narrowed his eyes. “If you hurt her Taejoon…” Taejoon gave him a sharp look. “Then what? You’ll throw your hairspray at me? Just leave before I hurt you.” Yunhee turned to Kevin and started to push him away. “Just go. I’ll be fine. He can’t handle me, remember?” Kevin placed his hands on Yunhee’s shoulders. Kevin leaned towards Yunhee and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead before he walked off with a worried look placed on his face. “I better get help.”
