It was a Saturday morning when Sana decided to knock on his door with a bag full of groceries. When the door opened, she was staggered at the guy who stood in the front door. Stood in front of her was D.O, in a pair of black t-shirt and a gray track pants, with messes up bed hair, still sleepy and scratching his head. This is not the guy she knows. The one she knew was a cold city guy and this is just a normal teenager on his weekends.

“Anneyong.” She squeals and that’s when D.O shuts the door in a hurry, making her chuckle.

He opens the door after a while, now all freshen up and smiled awkwardly at her.

“What are you doing here..??”

“I came to make you some porridge.” Saying that she pushes throw him into the house, making her way into the kitchen.

“Wait..what..??”

D.O trails behind her and finds her arranging all the grocery bags onto the kitchen counter.

“Your house is a mess. I am going to make you some porridge while you will clean the house. I can see that you are not sick anymore so go clean” she sho him out of the kitchen, and D.O walks out with a sigh.

After almost 2 hours later D.O will be done cleaning his huge condo when he walks back into the kitchen only to find it filled with smoke.

He immediately drags Sana out of the smoke into his living room and goes to open the kitchen windows.

“Ya..What did you do to my kitchen..??!!”

“I didn’t do anything. I just wanted to make you some porridge.”

“Do you even know how to make one.??”
“I tried Ok..!! who knew it will burn the whole pot.” She pouted. What do he expect from the Byun’s heir.?? Of cores she doesn’t know how to cook.

“OK fine. You wait here in the living room and see some dramas. I am going to cook some proper lunch for us.” He says holding onto her both shoulders with a clam voice.

“No.. I am going to help you”

“But you don’t know how to cook”

“Then teach me.”

And there they were, cooking different food in the now clean kitchen. D.O helps her to learn how to cut the vegetables. He holds her hand from behind and helps her cut and Sana just stand there, letting him do the job with her flushed cheeks. They have lots of fun cooking and soon the dining table will be filled with delicious food, Omurice, Kimbap, Doenjang Guk, Kimchi spaghetti and all. Sana can only wonder how D.O can cook these mouth watering dishes.

They sit together on his dining table and enjoy the food, chatting and laughing away. They spent the rest of the day having movie marathon. The last movie of the day was Train to Busan, and Sana just screams at every second, hiding behind her Coke can and munching down her fried chicken. D.O laughs at her, sitting down besides her sipping his can of Coke.

“Woah..that was fun..” she shouts out stretching her limbs and D.O follows.

She leans onto the small table in front of the couch and finds a book with a pen between its pages. Sana takes it into her hand and opens the marked page and reads out

“I’ll search the universe

Until I can find you again

I won’t let go, even the smallest memories

Memories engraved in the seasons

They come and go several times

But I will still call out to you.”

“What’s this..??”

“Oh..That. I write some lyrics when I feel bored. They are just one of those.”

“WOW..you got lot of talent. Can you sing for me..??”

“Come on, those lyrics are not done and I didn’t even make tune for them. May be next time when I am done with it.”

“OK you promise..??”

“Yes promise.”

“But now we have to clean this place, I will do it and you take out the trash in kitchen.”

“Ok” D.O takes the bags of trash and get out of his condo. He takes the lift down to the ground floor and walks out to empty the bags. While he was doing his job, a BMW stops right in front of him. He ignores it until he finds a women getting down of it that he is oh so familiar with.

***

They sit in one of the benches in the apartment gardens as a comfortable silence wraps around them until the women speaks up.

“Why didn’t you come that day..??”

“Why should I..?? it’s not like I am invited or something.”

“What’s the need to invite you? You are family Kyungsoo. You are supposed to be with us.”

“Ha..family, Yeah Yeah, even your husband to be thinks the same.. Doesn’t he..??” he speaks out, filled with sarcasm.

“You know your hyung is not that bad.”

“Yeah, he is not bad. That’s why he hates me for the mistake that his father made. And mind you noona, he is not my brother, he is my step brother.”

“Kyungsoo-ya”

“Please noona. I respect you a lot because you were the only one who cared for me when no one in that family gave a damn about me. That father in law of yours got my mom pregnant when he already had a wife and 6 year old son. And what did he do..? He kicked her to America with a chase freedom card in her hand. I had all these comforts since I was born but I never got the one that I need the most. A family. A father. A brother. And when I came back when my mom died in all hopes that I am finally meeting my father, he kicked me out again and gave me this extravagant condo, give me money, all the comforts that I need but he told me on face, that he will never give me his name and he would never treat me as his son. And your fiancée didn’t even acknowledge my presence, then why should I ..?? if it was only your engagement party noona, I would have come. But I don’t want to do anything with that family. I am just depending on them for now. Once I graduate, I will leave everything and go back to USA. I hope you will have a happy life noona.” She looks at her brother in law, pitiful at how unfair his life is.

“Kyungsoo-ya. I might not have experienced anything like you but I can understand how you feel. Sure, my father in law is not one good person but you totally misunderstood your brother. He is not like your dad. Just give him a chance, you both are just being too stubborn to make the first move. If I didn’t know about you two, I would have thought you guys are some kind of lovers or something.”

“Oh shut up noona” D.O chuckles and she smiles wide.

“See how cute you are when you smile.?? Always smile like that and now take this Kimchi that you noona made and tell me how it tastes.”

“Firstly, I am not cute and Secondly, why are you giving this experiment to me. Why don’t you feed this to your husband.??”

“I can’t just feed him and later realize it’s not good. That hyung of yours is so sweet that he will not even tell me if it’s not good, instead swallows the whole thing and pretend to love it. So I want you to eat it first and tell me if I have to make some modifications to it. And you guys are brothers. Based on my research, you both are just the same. He even likes the same food that you like so if you like this kimchi, then I am sure he would love it.”

“How many times should I tell you noona. HE.IS.NOT.MY.BROTHER.”

“Yeah yeah whatever. I challenge you. There will be a day where you will call your brother hyung and me hyeongsu. Wait and see.” Saying that she hops into the car and drives away, living behind D.O with a huge box of Kimchi. He turns around and Sana immediately hides in the dark. She was there the whole time, listening to each and everything they spoke. She goes back to the condo and when D.O asks her where have she been, she lies that she was about to throw the garbage when she got distracted by a kid downstairs. She takes her bag and walks out telling him that she got a call from Yoona about something important, not giving him a chance to speck further. Sana takes a long breath once she gets into her Aston Martin Vanquish, driving back home. She sighs thinking back at the conversation she heard between D.O and Jisoo Unni, Suho’s wife to be. She just got to know D.O’s deepest secrets and she don’t know what to do.

Happy Suho day everyone.!!!This chapter reveled the deep secret of D.O. Wait and see what will happen next. Hope you like this chapter. See you next time.!!!
