Leo took the last sip of his coffee and stretched at his chair for being overworked again tonight. He typed something in the fast speed at his laptop before finally his moved was stopped by a strange voice came from his left side. He paused typing. The voice was getting audible, calling his name, and he could felt some air blew near his left ear.

               This is really bad. This is completely dangerous for anyone who did this to the cold, -off-type Jung Taekwoon.

               “Stop it or I’ll break your nose, Kim Won Shik,” Leo said without even budge to look at the bothersome spot,

               Ravi who was getting caught finally stop whispering his name in his left ear by the warned his hyung gave, “I’m just trying to scare you but you’re the one who scared me,” he mumbled to himself as he grab a seat and sit next to the elder,

               “Oppa, it’s already 8 p.m, let’s grab some dinner, OK?” Ravi put both his hands before his cheeks to make a bbuing-bbuing, imitating a girl who was trying to ask her boyfriend to have a beautiful dinner together,

               “Now it really scares me. You remind me with someone that sometimes scared the hell out of me,”

               Ravi responded with a laugh. A hard one. Knowing that the guy besides him was talking about his own sister, “Yah! You should’ve felt grateful that someone had a really deep crush on you. She might be the only one in this world who likes a mannequin like you,”

               Even if he tried to deny but he couldn’t help but his lips were betraying him. Even just a little, his lips still curving into a smile by the words his ears hear from Ravi, his neighborhood which also his friend, and his work-mate at the same time.

Flashback

                “Appa! Andwae! I won’t go to Canada. I want to stay here! I want to finish my study here and marry Taekwoon-oppa!” A 10 years old girl cried in front of her own father while her hand clung tightly in Leo’s arm,

                “HeeHee-ya, oppa won’t marry you if you don’t listen to your appa’s words,” A 15 years old Leo tried his best to calm the girl who clearly show her affection on him. He actually had no idea why he got involved in this kind of situation. All he wanted to do was visit his friend Won Shik and held the FIFA battle with him before suddenly a girl approach in front of him and dragged him into a room which somehow he guessed that it was a working room,

                “Kim Won Hee, appa also don’t want this. Appa and Eomma want you to always stay with us so we can watch you grow into a beautiful lady, but your grandmother also want you stay with her.”

                “Why not him?” The girl exclaimed louder and pointed her index finger to the open door of the room,

                “Omo hyung, what are you doing here?” Ravi who suddenly appeared tried to drag his hyung out from the room when suddenly Won Hee pushed her brother and hugged Leo tighter,

                “Yah! Now, you want to separate us too?” She cried harder,

                Ravi looked at the scene while tried his hard to not breaking into a hard laugh. She is only 10 years old and now she acted like she was just one step closer to a marriage and still got no blessing from her parents.

                Being a Ravi he was, he finally couldn’t hold the funny scene any longer and burst into a laugh-until-his--off,

                “Won Shik-ah, don’t laugh,” his father said to reduce the cry for coming again from the little girl caused of being laughed by her own older brother,

                “Why did you laugh? Are you laughing at me?” Tears were threatening to flow again from her eyes,

                “Abeoji, you know she’s so stubborn. Just buy her the ticket and she will fly to Canada soon,” Ravi said after finally could handle his laugh.

                “Oppa! Andwae!” Won Hee hit her brother with all of her power which Leo and Ravi didn’t want to miss the chance to run off from her.

                “Anyway, did she still contact you?”

                “Huh?” Leo snapped from the memory and tried to digest the sudden question that Ravi had already asked, “Uh, no. I changed my number right after you gave her my number because she called me all the time and it was quite bothering. But she frequently sent me emails,”

                “SHE SENT YOU EMAILS?”

                “Yes.”

                “Aigoo this kid, I’m the siblings here yet she never sent me any emails.” Ravi shook his head in disbelief, “Did you reply them all?”

                Leo scratched his back in nervous because he actually reply her email necessarily, “Well, some were replied while the others were just read. Sometimes I didn’t read at all,” He explained carefully, afraid it will broke his friend’s heart for treating bad to his sister,

                But instead of a scold for treating his sister bad, Ravi gave him an apologize look, “Hyung, mianhae. I’m really really sorry. I thought she would stop bothering you when she is miles away from you, but she never changed, at all. And now, she’s gonna back to Korea and she will bother you non-stop like always,”

                My eyes widened.

                Is she finally coming back home?
