YOUR POV

I quickly head to my office and start my work of the day.

“Guys, sell all our shares that’s stuck in Dispatch and pull out all sorts of investment and sponsor we have in their group.”

“Ne, depyonim”

“Put half the amount to the Shims and a quarter to Joseonilbo and the rest to Newsen”

“But the president said to keep everything in the Shims”

“He agreed to my plan, I’ve asked him about this earlier”

“Ne”

“Vic, what time is the meeting with the marketing and HR department?”

“In half an hour depyonim”

“The VP is handling the other half of Haewon right?”

“Yes, you’re correct”

“Contact Tao for me please”

“Ne, you’re connected depyonim”

“Edison, are you busy?”

“Not really noona, waeyo?”

“If you’re free come for the meeting with the HR and marketing department in my office in half an hour”

“Arrasso, I don’t really have much appointments today anyway”

TAO’S POV

After a three hours long of a meeting we’re finally done.

“Finally” She said as she stretched on her seats

“Tired?”

She nodded sleepily.

I stopped her from rubbing her eyes.

“Makeup noona, makeup” I reminded.

“Right”

“Ah, we’ll go for lunch on the seaside today”

“We’ll only be able to come back when office hours are done though…”

He nodded.

“Are you busy today?”

“Not really”

“We’ll just skip then” I grin.

“Should we use the subway?”

“Should we?”

“Ask the guys~!!”

“Are you guys ready to go?” I asked as I called them in a group call.

“Somewhat like that”

“Do you guys want to use the subway?”

“Should we?”

We all looked very very excited for people who are going to use a subway.

“But to the subway in this outfit?” Kris hyung asked as he looked at his blazer.

“Hyung, there’s something called as changing clothes” Lay hyung said.

I nodded in agreement.

“So we’ll go home first or what?”

“That’ll take too much time, just buy it in the subway”

“Call”

“So we’ll meet in the Yeouido subway in about fifteen minutes from now, all ready and dressed up okay?” I said

“Where should we meet? The subway is huge panda”

“The ice cream parlor near the Korean restaurant?”

“The one with the huge servings?”

“Yea that one”

“Okay”

Noona and I walked our way to the nearest subway station.

She buys a set of clothes for the two of us and took out a wig from her bag and wore them, she then erase all of her makeup and put her bag into another bag.

“….you’re very well equipped”
“I went out with Lay yesterday” She grins.

Hyung?

“Are you two back or something?”

“Nope” She said with a grin.
“Then?”

“We just played”

“While hyung and I were stuck in Ulsan” I snickered.

“Let’s go” She said as she hugged my hand

“Where’s Joo Won by the way?”

“He’s with Kris hyung, obviously”

“He’s always stuck to that Canadian guy”

“I know right? Its not like he’s Justin Bieber or something” I muttered.

She gave me a look.

I grumbled.

“You fold your face way too much you know, are you jealous of Joo Won or something?”

“Why would I?”

“I don’t know” She gave me a playful smirk.

Her phone suddenly rang out of the blue.

YOUR POV

“Where are you?” He whines.

I raised my brow and look back to the caller ID.

I am talking to the right person.

“Me? I’m in the subway, why?”

“What did I tell you about going around?”

“To tell you…?” I fake a laugh.

“And you haven’t told me”

“I was about to call you”

“Oh really?”

“Eung” I said, half chuckling.

“Why?”

“I’m in your office but they said that you’re gone with your brother”

“Why are you there? Our meeting is set to be tomorrow right?” I asked as I recheck my schedule.

Yup, I’m right.

“I was going to ask you for lunch” He said with a sigh.

“Oh… I’m sorry…I’ll call you back earlier next time” I said, feeling bad for him.

“Don’t come back too late alright?”

“Arrasso, you too”

“Where are you going by the way?”

“Mmm somewhere on the seaside? So who are you going to eat with now?”

“I don’t know, I think I’ll just drop by somewhere in one of my friend’s office.” He said with a sigh.

“Mian…”

“It’s okay, don’t make some kind of troubles alright”

“Arrasso” I said chuckling.

“Bye”

TAO’S POV

She’s grinning.

And I bet the caller is none other than the jerk.

I look at her.

She looks back at me.

“Why do I feel like I’m missing a puzzle piece here?”

“What do you mean?” She asked, putting up an innocent face.

“Why were you grinning?”

“Huh? I don’t know, because I feel like it?”

I squinted my eyes and lean forward with my hands crossed.

“What?” She asked.

“Something is very weird”

“Is it that weird to grin over a phone call?”

“Nope, but when the caller is the jerk, it is bizarre”

“You’re seriously overly sensitive when it comes to your siblings.” She said as she rolled her eyes.

I don’t like whatever I’m sensing.

No.

We meet the guys several minutes later.

“Joo Wonah, you know that giant panda over there is really really really weird” She said as she hugged him.

“Waeyo?”

“He’s really sensitive~~ I was grinning over a phone call with the jerk and he was interrogating me already, and he doesn’t look very happy to know that you stick around with Kris”

“You know how he is, he almost beat Lay to death with his crazy kung fu skills when he knew that you two started going out.”

“But still”

“And your boyfriends after Lay” He said, cutting her out.

I scoffed.

Am I that sensitive?

I’m just trying to be a good brother.

And I don’t like everyone going near to my siblings, that’s all.

We ride the subway like some crazy little hyperactive kids.

Everything looks so amazing from here, especially when we started to see the countryside.

“Oh~~!! Some farmers are there…wuaa…..look at them working, it looks really cool” Kris grins.

“I wonder if computer could actually do that?”

“You mean robots” She corrected him.

He dismissed her almost immediately.

There he goes with his IT mind.

“It’s air~~~” Xiu Min hyung said as he breathes in the newly found air.

We ran around the station and hoped on a bus that’ll take us to the beach.

Once we get off the bus, we quickly ran around the beach.

We get all dirty and wet for the first few hours, kicking and splashing each other down, making sure everyone is dirty.

I kicked all of them down with my mighty kung fu skills.

I grin.

Nobody beats the kung fu panda.

But....they threw the panda into the sea in one blow.

So not fair, seven versus one.

Even the great panda can’t do that.

I swallowed some sea water as they threw me into the sea.

They just had the laugh of their life.

I regained my consciousness and started to catch anyone in front of me.

And of course, at a time like this, the female is in a disadvantage, and to add to the list she’s my sister, so no etiquette needed.

I grin evilly as I started to run for her, I caught her in three seconds, I carry her up and made my way to the waters.

“Don’t!!! Edison!!! No!!” She shouted and started to rebel.

But of course, I threw her to the water.

She quickly stood up and head straight for my back.

I caught her on reflex.

Ah…I’ve carried her way too many times now that my reflex are like this.

“There’s a restaurant who sells octopus!!!!!” Chen hyung said as he quickly rushed to the restaurant.

I shook my head.

These guys really need to learn what class is.

I followed the others reluctantly.

What power do I have?

I’m just a poor innocent maknae.

“Wua…look at him, going all around the tank, if we cut his tentacles will it grow back?” Chen asked.

We looked at him oddly.

“What?”

“That question sounds really sadistic…”

“Oh God…the octopus reminds me of the starfish” Noona said.

“You shouldn’t have mentioned it”

“What? The starfish lived” He said, trying to make a point.

I almost puked as the scary image of the starfish returned.

“You cut one of his….thing hyung”

“And it grew”

“So you cut the rest!!!”

“So? It grew!!”
“That was so sadistic you know hyung, how could you do that?! And with a scissor at that, eww”

“Let’s just go inside and eat the octopus” Kris hyung said.

“Hyung~~~” I whined.

YOUR POV

This place is really chaotic.

Chen is busy cutting the octopus’s tentacles to see whether it would still move or not.

I look at him in disgust.

Tao is busy getting reprimanded by Kris for making the rest of us remember the whole scene and for making Chen crazy into his experiment.

“Kim Jeong Dae, won’t you quit cutting those innocent tentacles?!” Joo Won asked feeling very disgusted.

And the guy has that psychotic happy and contended look plastered on his face that makes the whole thing worst than it already is.

The owner brought us a mouth watering seafood soup with all the clams, fish, octopus, abalone and all.

“This looks so good”

“I know right”

“The clam taste really sweet”

“Ya…eldest first” Joo Won said as he pry Tao’s chopstick off the last piece of clam.

“First come first serve alright hyung”

“We don’t do that in Korea panda”

“You should be multicultural”

“First come first serve and eldest first” I grin as she took the clam away.

They both scoffed.

“NOONA~!!!”

“I’m a Korean and I’m a multi culturist. That’s how good your noona is”

“Ah…I can’t believe this” He snickered.

“So good” I exhaled as the hot heavenly clam came into contact with my tongue.

We grilled some cut octopus and fish, made some wraps and even had some raw fish, seafood combo is always heavenly.

The sweetness, the smell, the texture, it’s just perfect.

JAEJOONG’S POV

“Omma…I’m sick….” I said weakly through the phone as I lie down on my bed.

“Call Dr Kim, why are you calling me?” She replied coldly.

“Why can’t you use the same tone with me like when you’re talking to your friends or other people?” I said, hurt, sad and sick.

“I don’t have to pretend with my own son now should I?”

I sighed, why did I even call her in the first place?

“That’s why appa left you for S” I replied weakly and shut the phone.

I almost sighed until the pain in my stomach hit me back.

I quickly covered myself with the thick blanket; I then fold my arms and legs, positioning them near my stomach to radiate more heat.

The medicines won’t even work on my anymore.

I rolled slowly to the other side of the bed to make myself less focused on my stomach and praying so that the pain will go away.

Should I call her?

Nah, I’ll let her free for today.

She needs some time to spend with her friends too.

And what can a kid do when the nanny’s sick? She’ll eventually create more problems rather than solving them.

I tried to chuckle, but my stomach stopped me from doing so.

After at least half an hour of utter agony, I finally heard the door banged and her loud hyperactive steps towards our room.

This is all because of the coffee boost and the chili those guys forced me to eat this afternoon.

I kept on pressing my upper stomach with my hand, that way it’ll somehow ease the pain, somehow better than the useless medicine.

I heard the door opens and I could even hear her tip toeing her way into the sleeping areas with her heels.

Doesn’t really work at all.

A small smirk is formed on my lips since my stomach would kill me if I laugh.

“Oh? He’s sleeping” She muttered like a kid.

She open my blanket and I look at her weakly.

“You look really pale, are you sick?” She asked, worried.

“I’m fine” I replied weakly.

“You’re lying, your lips are white already.” She said as she started to feel my temperature.

“You don’t have a fever, but you’re more than certain sick” She muttered; now playing doctor.

“Don’t move around the bed too much, my stomach hurts” I managed to say.

“Why? How come?” She asked.

“I drank a lot of black coffee this past week and I lost in a bet so they forced me to eat really spicy things today” I replied weakly.

“Is it the upper part of the stomach?” She asked, worried is written all over her face.

I nodded.

“Do you have a medicine? Should I call the doctor?”

I shook my head “The meds doesn’t work”

“Wait, don’t move around” She said as she quickly went out of the room with a loud bang.

I smiled as I shook my head, at least she’s worried.

At least someone is worried over me.

She came back, still rushing but with a huge bucket with her.

I looked at her.

She came to my side of the bed without climbing on to the bed.

“What’s that?”

“Hot packs. I always keep them around for times like this.”

What on earth is that thing?

She slowly opened my blanket which makes me cringed every time another part of my body gets into contact with the cold surrounding air.

She put several packs of gel onto my upper stomach, warming them up, and then she pulls the blanket for me.

She then rushed into the bathroom doing God knows what, and before I could even get some rest, I heard a loud thud accompanied by a kid wincing from the bathroom.

I almost got up from my bed, but then, my stomach fails me like always.

Her figure showed up with her massaging her back.

“Are you okay?” I asked weakly.

She nodded.

“I’m okay, I just fell down”

“You know, you should’ve called me, I would’ve been here since ages ago”

“I’m fine and I was fine”

“You know you should stop saying the word “I’m fine” when you’re really not fine. Stomach cramps like this could go the wrong way you know, call me when you’re not feeling well, and then say that you’re sick, if you’re hurt say that you’re hurt, when you’re not feeling well then say that you’re not, saying I’m fine and not doing anything about it won’t make you better anyway” She lectured me a whole paragraph, but somehow, I'm starting to love the lecture.

I smiled sincerely.

“You’re the first person to say that”

“What?”

“To say that I should call you instead of the doctor”

“You could call…the doctor as well…he would know better than me” She muttered.

“It’s not like that…I’m actually grateful to that, thanks…”

“Thanks?” She asked, confused.

“Thanks for worrying over me”

“When you’re sick, when you’re like this, isn’t it normal to get worried?”

“Ani, at least not my family”

“What about your friends?”

“They would ask me to go to the doctor”

“Aww…its okay, I’m here now, I’ll get worried over you to the moment you think that I’m annoying” She said cheerfully.

I nodded weakly.

“Is the air too cold for you? Do you want me to turn the ac off?”

I shook my head.

“Doesn’t make a difference”

“Do you know cajuput oil?”

I nodded.

“Do you want me to put it on over your stomach? It’ll help a lot” She said softly.

I shook my head, she frowned.

“I’m allergic to that thing”

“I thought you’re not allergic to anything”

“You don’t eat cajuput oil, I get rashes whenever I put on that thing”

“Really? That’s bad…Ah…I forgot…wait here for a while” She said as her disappeared to the bathroom.

She came back with several new hot packs and replaced them with the one I’m using now, she took the old hot packs back and went back to the bathroom and back to the room.

“Better?”

I nodded.

“When you’re having this, you should get as much warmth as you can get.” She said softly.

“Wait, I’ll bring something up” She said as she got back up.

I sighed and held her wrist.

“Just stay here…” I said weakly.

She nodded with a smile.

“Arrasso, I’ll be a good wifey for tonight” She grins and came back.

Wifey? That sounds good to the ear…

“You’re sweating a lot…” She muttered softly.

I nodded.

“I should’ve made you something warm and I should’ve brought you a towel…”

“Just…stay here…” I said tiredly.

"Am I annoying you already?" She chuckled.

I shook my head.

She nodded to herself as she rubbed my face with her hands.

“There…you’re done” She grins.

Maybe...just maybe...being sick like this have its own good points as well.

I feel good when she’s beside me like this.

She took a rubber band from her hand and ties my bangs up.

“There, you won’t have a pimple tomorrow”

“Does it still hurt?”

I nodded.

“Does it hurt a lot?” She asked like a kid.

I nodded.

She sighed with a pout.

Moments later she suddenly started to wrapped her arms around my stomach.

I looked at her, wide eyes, my body gets stiffened by itself.

“Ya….” I muttered confusedly.

“Don’t say anything, I’m embarrassed as it is but this used to really work when I was younger”

I smiled and relaxed my body as I put my arms on her back as well.

Yup, this really works.

“Doesn’t your other hand hurts?” I asked.

She shook her head.

“You’re not that heavy”

“I’m sorry” I muttered.

“Why are you sorry? I should be the one saying that”

“For…making you so busy over me”

She chuckled.

“Humans are supposed to help each other”

I cringed once more as the pain hit me once again.

“I’ll go get another hot pack for you mmhm? You seems to be hurting”
“Just…stay…I hate to feel alone when I’m sick”

“But…”

I gave her a look.

“Fine…I’ll stay”

She wrapped her arms back around my stomach, this time much tighter.

“It’s okay, you’ll be better soon, just pass the pain to me, you’re okay…” She muttered.

I frowned.

“This really hurts you know…nobody should be getting the pain”

“But you’re hurting, you should at least give me half of the pain so you won’t be in such a state any longer” She pouted.

“I’m fine already…” I said weakly.

“You’re lying” She pouted

“I’m not, I’m fine already”

"Yeah right"

“Should I ask the chef to cook you something? You really need to eat something”

“No, it’ll hurt even more” I pouted.

“But you’ll get better after that one wave”

“Let’s get you something to eat uh?”

I shook my head.

She frowned.

“What if I use my wish…?”

“Ah…hajima…” I whined softly.

She grins evilly.

“Ani, its for your own good anyway, I’ll use one of my wishes” She grins.

“You’re not taking a no for an answer do you?”

“Eung”

“Ask the chefs to cook, you stay here” I grumbled weakly.

“Eung, what do you want to eat?”

“Something light”

“Oatmeal? The one with the fruits and all”

“That’ll do”

“Aww, someone is sulking. Don’t hate me, I’m doing this for you” She said as she called the chefs to make the food.

NARRATOR’S POV

The food came in moments later and he ate it with much remorse.

And she’s even feeding him since he made too many excuses of not being able to eat.

“Five spoons and you’re done” She whined.

He opened his mouth for five more times and immediately slumped back to the bed waiting for the pain to come.

She went to the bathroom to get some more warmed hot packs and replaced them with the one he’s having.

The pain resurfaces after a while.

She calmed him down by hugging him and telling him stories so that he would lose focus on the much-awaited pain.
