Hye-min’s POV

My parents returned to Canada once I was discharged from the hospital and since then Jun-soo oppa has stayed at home “babysitting” me. He didn’t let me leave his sight. The only time he left was if Soo-jung or Infinite oppas came over. They all claimed that it was for my personal safety…so they forbid me from leaving the house alone.

“I’m an adult now! I can make my own decisions! I don’t need anyone telling me what to do.” I spat only to realize how rude I sounded.

“Hye-min, you’re right.”

“I – I am?...I mean, of course I am!”  I was more than shocked by his words. He was actually agreeing with me.
