Ven sighed as she continued to sip the juice that she just ordered. Her mind was flying off in another world as she continued to replay everything that happened yesterday.

            “Earth calling Venus! Please respond. Kindly send yourself back to the ground missy.. or else you will surely regret it. You won’t be able to have a date with Junsu,” Eve said with a wide grin.

            Ven quickly shook herself back into reality and gave her friend a warning look. “Don’t be so loud, Eve. People might hear you. I don’t want to have any more problems okay. If you keep saying those things, the girls that like him will surely come running after me again,” she said as she carefully looked around them. She was trying to see if anyone was listening to their conversation.

            “Oh Ven, you’re becoming too paranoid. They aren’t listening to us. And besides I was just joking and I don’t think that you should be worried even if you and Junsu end up being together.  It is really your luck to find the perfect soul mate and their loss to just stand around in a corner and watch while you and Junsu make beautiful music together,” Eve said teasingly.

            Ven’s face quickly turned red with embarrassment. “Oh, stop it already Eve. And before I forget, why in heaven’s name did you tell Erin about the party? It was so embarrassing really…”

            Eve laughed. “Well I wanted to give you a chance to be with Junsu, just like in a real date. Don’t you like it? It’s kinda, hmmm… so romantic that way,” she said again with a giggle.

            Ven sighed and just lowered her head. “It’s so humiliating. Imagine….”

            “Ssssshhhh….” Eve suddenly signaled her to stop talking.

            Ven quickly turned to look at the direction where Eve was staring. Just a few meters away a very familiar figure was approaching them.

            “Hi girls,” Erin said with a very cheerful smile.

            “Hi,” both Ven and Eve greeted back.

            Ven couldn’t stop staring at Erin. She was so beautiful and her smile was so captivating and so similar to Junsu’s smile too. She couldn’t help but wonder how it would feel to have such a kind and beautiful sister in the house.

            “Ven?... Ven?” Eve suddenly tapped her friend’s shoulder to make her snap out of her daydreaming.

            Erin couldn’t help but smile. “You’re so cute Ven… I wish I had a sister like you,” she suddenly said as she pinched Ven’s cheek.

            Ven suddenly blinked her eyes more than twice as if trying to replay what she just heard and what just happened. “Eh? You want a sister like me? Are you sure? You wouldn’t want someone like me. I am a nobody. I don’t have any special talent nor do I have good looks to even make up for my clumsiness,” she said as she sighed and sipped the juice she was holding.

            Erin lightly laughed, then she sat down on the seat in front of the two girls “Whoever said that looks or talents matter when it comes to sisters or brothers? You know you’re lucky for everything you have. So don’t you ever say that you don’t have any talent or good looks, because in the end, it doesn’t really matter. What matters most is your character, if you’re good or bad. Yes, I am already lucky with having Junsu. Even though he’s quite naughty and very noisy sometimes, he’s such a sweet person. And as for you, Ven… I just find you to be so sweet too. Quiet, nice and sweet… The perfect match for my Junsu,” she said with a smile again.

            Ven felt like something got stuck in so she suddenly coughed after hearing what Erin said. “Eh? Perfect match for your brother? Are you sure?” She then shook her head as if trying to wake herself up. “Am I dreaming? You’re making me laugh aren’t you?” she asked again, still not believing what Erin said.

            Erin laughed again. “God, you’re so cute! What’s so impossible about what I just said? Hmmmm… honestly the very first time I saw you with Junsu. I already thought that the two of you look good together. And when I met you, it was then my first impression was finally confirmed. You are truly so perfect with my brother.”

            Eve laughed and started clapping her hands in joy. “See, I told you I was right. You and Junsu are perfect together. See… I am not the only one thinking that way,” she said in a loud voice.

            Ven quickly stood up and covered her friend’s mouth with her hand. “Eve, can you please keep it down? I don’t want any trouble okay? I don’t want to be chased again by a mob of angry girls… so please,” she begged.

            Eve still managed to giggle even if was covered. She then nodded in agreement.

            Ven sat down again and faced Erin with a smile. “Thank you for thinking that way. But I really don’t think that your brother fits me. We’re two different people from two different worlds,” she uttered.

            “Wow! We’re two different people from two different worlds…. What a drama! Don’t you think that kind of line has already been used too many times? Can you select a new line instead? Something more dramatic like… We don’t belong in each other’s arms… something like that,” Eve suddenly said as she interrupted Ven.

            Erin suddenly started laughing. “Oh! You girls are so hilarious…” she tried to utter in between laughs.

            Ven couldn’t help but feel like she was becoming smaller and smaller by the minute. “Oh,” was the only thing she could utter as she lowered her head and rested it down on the table in front of her. “I think I am going to have a headache…” she started to think.

********************

            A few days later…

Erin was busy shopping in a mall near their home when she unexpectedly dropped one of the bags she was carrying. “Oh,” she uttered as she struggled to get a hold of all the plastic bags she was holding in one hand and the large box on the other hand. “I knew I made a mistake when I told the driver to just wait for me outside,” she quickly muttered to herself.

            She was about to get the plastic bag that she dropped when an unexpected savior suddenly helped her.

            “Here… let me help you,” the man quickly took the bag on the floor and also took some of the bags she was holding.

            Erin looked at the man standing in front of her. She couldn’t help but admire the strong yet delicate features of the man’s face.

            The man then smiled at Erin that made her heart quickly skip a beat. “Are you finished shopping? Would you like me to accompany you, so you don’t need to carry all these things by yourself,” he continued to say.

            Erin who was still left mesmerized by the man in front of her couldn’t do anything else but nod her head.

            “So where do you plan to go next? Or maybe you’re going home now?” the man asked again. “I can drive you home, if you like,” he added.

            Erin smiled. “Thank you… but I…” she was about to say that her driver was already waiting for her outside the mall. “Hmmm…. Would you like to have a drink first? I mean I want to treat you for being so nice to me and for helping me out,” she was finally able to say.

            The man smiled and then nodded. “Sure,” he answered.

            **********

            Half an hour later, they were inside one of the famous restaurants inside the mall.

            “Are we waiting for someone?” the man asked Erin. He had already noticed that Erin kept on looking at her watch while looking at the direction of the door of the restaurant.  

            Erin looked at the man and smiled. “Yes, we had an agreement to meet here. I know you’re going to be surprised with who you’re going to see…”

            The man quickly raised his eyebrow. “Really? Now I am suddenly curious,” he said with a light laugh.

            A few minutes passed and…

            “They’re here,” Erin announced happily.

            The man quickly looked at the direction where Erin was looking at.

            “Eh? Yunho… what are you doing here?” Eve asked curiously. She then looked back at Erin as if asking the same question.

            Erin laughed. “We met while I was shopping and waiting for you guys… Anyway he helped me with the bags I was carrying so I suggested that we have a drink here. It’s kinda my treat since he helped me and all…”

            “Ahhh I see,” Eve uttered with a nod. “Well we’re finished with shopping too,” she said with a happy tone. “Hey Ven, come on… Sit…”

            Ven quickly sat down beside Yunho and continued to tug at her short dress as if trying to make it longer. It was quite obvious that she was feeling very uncomfortable because of the dress she was wearing.

            “Hey brother, what can you say about Ven’s new look? Erin and I chose her new haircut and we also bought that new dress for her… and with matching bag and shoes too. We’re going on a date in a few days so we need to look our best,” Eve said with a big grin on her face.

            Yunho gave Ven another look and tried to put on a smile. “It’s nice…” he said with a tone that was suggesting the opposite of what he said.

            “Eh? Why use that kind of voice? You don’t like it?” Eve asked curiously.

            Yunho just shook his head. “I really don’t have right to judge what she wants to wear or do… do I? So why do you even ask me?” he asked with irritation.

            Surprised with her brother’s reaction, Eve suddenly became silent. Erin who was just observing everything quickly noticed the strange way that Yunho was acting. And she also couldn’t help but notice the sudden flare of anger in Yunho’s eyes when he heard that Eve and Ven were going on a date. She could sense that there was a specific reason behind Yunho’s sudden change in character. ‘Hmmm… could it be that he’s angry because his sister is going on a date?’ she asked herself.

            Erin again looked at Yunho and then she again noticed something. After Yunho took a glance at Ven, his expression changed again. It was the expression of … a jealous man. ‘Could it be possible that Yunho is… in love with Ven?’ the question started to echo in her mind.
