Candy in my earsDara stepped inside Yongguk’s room and immediately located the bed, where she sees Nari, struggling to keep her eyes open as Yongguk was telling her a bedtime story.
Dara decided to settle first on a beanie chair located at the corner of his room when Nari called her attention. “ Omma. Sleep beside me. “ Nari requested as she squeezed herself more on Yongguk’s side.
Feeling Dara’s discomfort, Yongguk turned to his side to show a small pillow fort between him and Nari, then nodded his head to his bedside table where two more pillows were placed. “ One for you and the... “ he mouthed “ fort “ so that Nari won’t be suspicious.
Dara nodded in agreement as she walked towards the bedside table. As she picked up a frame with a photo of a young man, beaming with the large fish he had caught. “ So when will you introduce me to your brother? “ She asks Yongguk.
Yongguk gave her a questioning look, “ Why are you interested in my brother when I am here? “
Dara stiffled a yawn before continuing, “ First, he looks handsome. Second, he looks nicer than somebody I know. “
“ Come here Nari, don’t disturb Yongguk oppa that much. “ Which only made the girl hold onto Yongguk tightly. “ He promised to look after us while we sleep. “ Nari said, half whining, half sleeping.
Dara was about to climb in the bed and tell Nari to scoot over her side when a soft knock on the door that interrupted Dara.
They glanced at the door and saw Himchan open the door.
“ I was just checking if there was anything little Nari need. “ Smiling at the little girls direction.
Nari stiffled a yawn while shaking her head telling him no.
