I dozed off, resting my head using my arms as a pillow on the weak girl’s bed, until I noticed a pair of heels clicking onto the tiled floor. I craned my neck to see who the guest was, and I only saw a gorgeous woman, clad with the latest fashions and sunglasses. As the elegant star strutted closer, it was then when I recognized her. “Sunbaenim?”

 She narrowed her eyes at me. “What are you doing here?”

“I...I think I might have caused her to faint.”  was what I wanted to croak. Instead, I heaved a great sigh and said, “I took her to the hospital after she collapsed.”

Jessica nodded. “Her anemia must have been kicking in.”

“Uh, Sunbaenim, what brings you here?”

She cocked a light brown brow. “I’m her sister.”

“No way.” I verbally thought. Her expression lightened and her lips let out a chuckle. “I know right? She’s actually quite prettier than I. And more hardworking.” She gently sat down onto the mattress and began a face identical to her’s. “Krystal’s pretty when she’s sleeping, huh? She looks so relaxed, unlike her usual stressed-out face.” Jessica continued admiring the girl. “It was just a matter of age…”

“Anyways, what are you still doing here?” She wasn’t the ice princess for no reason. The international star gave me a stare that seemed to see through my soul, with a nonchalant expression. Like older sister, like younger sister.

“Oh, right.” I looked towards the digital clock next to me. 3 a.m. I should have been practicing all this time.

“You can go home now. Aren’t you tired with your debut preparations?” The beautiful, austere girl said with a softer voice and a rare, gentle smile playing on her lips.

“Oh...alright.” I stuttered. Sunbaenim’s nicer than I thought.

I didn’t sleep that night.

Were my words that harsh?

“Whatever, it’s not like I didn’t state the truth. Better wake her up from her fantasy than give her false hopes.” I accidentally said aloud.
