The story of two ambitious sisters and one passionate soldier. 

Foreword

>Huhu my first story on AFF! I hope you guys enjoy this wild ride!< 

Suzy (22 yrs) "Inebriated of him am I?"

Miyeon (18 yrs) "Come back to me in dreams that I may give pulse for pulse, breath for breath."

Jaejoong (25 yrs) "Tread softly because you tread on my dreams."

Kim Hyunjoong (25 yrs) "Ah, the real war, is what you see before you."

Excerpt: 

“He’s bringing over that friend of his, Kim Hyunjoong.”

“The chocolate millionaire. Oh no! And you’re giving him flowers?”

Suzy smiled. Was he pretending to be jealous to conceal the fact that he was? She no longer understood him. They had fallen out of touch at Cambridge and it had been difficult to do anything else. She changed the topic. 

“The old man says you’re going to be a doctor.”

“I’m thinking about it.”

“You must love the student life.”

He looked away again, but this time only for a second, and when he turned to her  she thought she saw a spark of irritation. Had she sounded condescending? She saw his eyes again, flakes of melting chocolate. When he spoke, he was perfectly pleasant. 

“I know you never liked that sort of thing, Suzy. But how else do you become a doctor?” 

“That’s my point. Another four years. Why do it?”

He wasn’t offended. She was the one who was overestimating and jittery in his presence, and she was annoyed with herself. 

He was taking her question seriously. “No one’s really going to give me work as a landscape gardener. I don't want to teach, or go in for the civil service. And medicine interests me…” He broke off as a thought occurred to him. “Look, I’ve agreed to pay your father back. That’s the arrangement.”
