*Hyunjoo’s POV*

Only silence filled in between us.Neither of us dared,correction,neither of us wanted to make the first move.Both of us were so egoistic and it’s not helping even a bit.

“Hyunjoo..” he called my name almost like a whisper but audible to both of us.After hearing silence from me,he took it as a signal to continue “I’ve suffered enough.You’ve suffered enough.Let’s just stop being stubborn and embrace each other.No matter what happens,you’re still my blood sister and I’m still your blood brother.I missed you and you’re lying if you don’t miss me too.Hyunjoo-ah..” he inched closer and cupped my face.I had no energy to fight

“how are you? Are you hanging in there? I know it’s hard since mom left.Can I be there to comfort you? Please Hyunjoo,I never wanted anything more than to hold my sister in my arms”

Hot tears were streaming down my face,I closed my eyes and just tried to register everything he just said.He said nothing but the truth.Yes I missed him.No,I haven’t been well.It’s been so hard since mom left.No,I’m not hanging in well.Yes,please be the one to comfort me besides Yongguk.Yes,I’m still your blood sister

But...

Can I believe your words? Can I believe you? Can I believe your sincerity?

“oppa..” the words rolled out of my tongue unexpectedly.Both of us had mixed feelings.He felt relieved but taken aback at the sudden intimate nickname.I felt a gust of relief but anger still lingered in my heart “oppa..” I tried the nickname again and relief was all I felt

The next thing I knew,I was pulled in for a tight and comforting hug.Slowly I brought up my hands to wrap around his body,being a signal for him to hug me tighter.I sobbed quietly in his chest,staining his coat with my tears

“don’t cry,oppa’s here” He my head and I nodded slightly

*Author’s POV*

Without the siblings noticing,a pair of eyes were watching them and with no exception of a camera in his/her hands

“I got you Jung Yonghwa” he/her chuckled to himself/herself and walked away

Yonghwa later dropped Hyunjoo at her house and ruffled her hair

“so,we’re ok now? “

“Don’t expect too much.I’m still in the midst of forgiving you.Just stay the way we are now” Hyunjoo sighed softly and walked in to her apartment

“well,there’s some improvement” Yonghwa muttered under his breath and tried his best to hide the smile but to no avail,he smiled by himself .

~Next Morning~

And yet again Hyunjoo is awoken to her phone buzzing(poor girl XD).Hyunjoo getting fed up with the ringing,lazily answered her phone

“hmm?”

“babe,you got to come over!” Yongguk’s concerned voice from the other line

“babe,I’m sleeping” Hyunjoo replied groggily and about to put the phone down

“no! You must come over! Come over or I’ll barge in!”

Hyunjoo sighed and muttered a ‘sure’ under her breath before getting ready to go out.After finishing her daily routines,she slipped her phone in her pocket and a few money in her pocket and off she went but getting out of her apartment building wasn’t as easy as she thought.There were so many people that she can barely get out.It’s a good thing she knew this building like the back of her hand and went out through the back door.

“what’s with the reporters and people outside?” Hyunjoo looked back at the crowd and sighed “some idol must’ve moved in or something”

Hyunjoo paid and thanked the driver when she arrived at her location.She quietly went up to their dorm and finally breath in the calm air.The moment Hyunjoo rang the doorbell,the door flung open

“babe,you ok? No scratches? No injuries or anything?” Yongguk searched Hyunjoo’s body for any possible injuries as he mentioned

“what scratches? Injuries? Of course I am” Hyunjoo chuckled slightly and pushed Yongguk in,closing the door behind them

“noona!” Zelo ran up to Hyunjoo and engulfed her in a tight hug.Hyunjoo was dumbfounded at the situation.It’s not even that she woke up from the dead but all of them were more than delighted to see Hyunjoo,untouched especially

“what are you guys talking about?” Hyunjoo raised an eyebrow

“we thought the fans got to you” Himchan sighed and passed his tablet to Hyunjoo

‘Yonghwa caught in action’ was the headline of the news and there attached was a picture of Yonghwa and Hyunjoo at the park last night.The article mainly said about Yonghwa and Hyunjoo dating,Hyunjoo cheating on Himchan and bla bla bla

“that explains the reporters” Hyunjoo sighed softly and put the tablet aside

“what do you mean reporters?” Yongguk raised an eyebrow and sat beside Hyunjoo

“the reporters were crowding over the entrance of the building with some fans.I thought there was some idol that just moved in.”

Yongguk sighed softly and pulled Hyunjoo in a tight and comforting hug.Himchan got up and walked to the kitchen,trying to search for something to do,not being able to bear the sight of the couple.

“...just stay here for the time being” Himchan heard Yongguk say before he stepped in the kitchen,for god-knows-what-reason

Yongguk pretended to not see Himchan and grabbed some food,probably to give to Hyunjoo,and walked back to the living room.Himchan sighed softly and sat on the other chair beside the cuddling couple and tried his best to watch the TV

“can you guys please get your hands off each other? We have minors for god’s sake” Himchan glared at the couple

“Zelo isn’t even here” Yongguk glared back

“umm..I’ll just go and play with Zelo” Hyunjoo pulled away from Yongguk and made way to Zelo’s room

“NOONA!” Himchan heard Zelo shout and a loud thump following after

“he must’ve tackled her down” Himchan chuckled under his breath and made way to his own bedroom

He passed Zelo’s room and saw Zelo clinging onto Hyunjoo with a fuming Yongguk but Yongguk tried his best to surpress his jealousy against his favourite dongsaeng and his girlfriend.Zelo cuddled up closer to Hyunjoo earning a giggle from the older girl

“Choi Joonhoong” Yongguk growled lowly but he hid behind his noona,as if he can

Hyunjoo tried her best to stiffle a laugh and patted Zelo’s head “it’s ok.Yongguk won’t do anything.So,what are we gonna do the whole day at the dorm? Correction,what am I gonna do the whole day here?” Hyunjoo raised an eyebrow at her boyfriend

Yongguk darted his gaze elsewhere and cleared his throat as he had no particular answer too.Heck,even he doesn’t know why he insisted on Hyunjoo staying at the dorm where she can be staying at her apartment.If Hyunjoo is ever caught in B.A.P’s dorm,it’ll be the end of their career.

“oppa?” Hyunjoo snapped Yongguk from his mindless gaze and turned back his gaze to her “what am I going to do here?”

“I don’t know.I just feel that you should be here so that I know you’re safe” a soft sigh escaped his lips “I’m sorry.It’s 10 thousand times more risky with you staying here in our dorm with the scandal going around but I can’t seem to let you get out of the door without thinking that some crazy fans are going to take you out of my sight..” Yongguk looked down “forever”

Hyunjoo frowned a little and signalled to Zelo with her eyes to leave them for a moment.Zelo pouted slightly,sad of leaving his noona behind but reluctantly obeyed.Hyunjoo stepped closer to Yongguk and cupped his face in her small hands.A small smile found its way on her lips as she caressed his cheekbones gently and planting a soft kiss on his forehead.

“You’ve been worried alot lately about the fans to be exact.Why are you so worried babe? You said we could go through this together right? So we can.If it scares you too much.I’ll stay somewhere you can keep a good watch on me but it’s definitely not the dorm”

Yongguk smiled and nodded “sure.I think the practice room is the safest place.Can you stay there for the evening and go home late at night? I’ll drop you.The reporters won’t probably be there”

“if that makes you feel better.Sure” Hyunjoo smiled and pecked his lips

Yongguk groaned and pulled Hyunjoo in for a longer kiss.The couple pulled away as they lost their breath from the heated kiss and finally made way to the practice room.The boys were practicing hard for their new comeback but Hyunjoo kept her gaze on her phone and kept walking out of the practice room to answer her calls.

“break time one hour” the choreographer called out and Yongguk walked out to see Hyunjoo conversing on the phone

“babe...” Yongguk hugged Hyunjoo from behind and snuggled his face in her neck,inhaling her scent.Finally smelling something sweet after hours in a practice room filled with sweaty boys

“I’ll drop by tonight to see the place.thanks” Hyunjoo hung up her phone and slipped it back in her pocket “hey.How was practice?” Hyunjoo turned around and pulled Yongguk back in the practice room

“fun and tiring.It’s our break time now.Company me please?” Yongguk pouted slightly and Hyunjoo nodded

“sure baby boy”

“what? Baby boy? No I’m not” Yongguk pouted more and the practice room filled with Hyunjoo’s laughter.Hyunjoo sat on the floor with her legs stretched out and her back against the wall as Yongguk comfortably rested his head on her lap

“babe..When does your practice end?” Hyunjoo caressed Yongguk’s hair,staring at his perfect features

“in another hour maybe.Why?” Yongguk answered without opening his eyes

“I need to show you something.It’s gonna be a new start for me.I made it behind your back”

“mwo?! Behind my back?!” Yongguk’s eyes shot open “did you cheat on me?! Are you pregnant?! Oh god don’t tell me you’re getting married to some 2nd generation chaebol?!”

“NO NO NO! Of course I’m not Bang Yongguk! I’m not pregnant! I’m not cheating on you! I’m not getting married to a chaebol but that would be great too.Can you imagine me marrying with a chaebol,living in luxury,travel around the wor-” Hyunjoo grinned at the idea of marrying a chaebol

“WHAT?! YOU WANT TO MARRY A CHAEBOL?! NO WAY!” Yongguk half shouted,cutting Hyunjoo half way through her daydream.Hyunjoo clasped her hand over Yongguk’s mouth and glared at him

“shh! The other members are resting.I only love you babe.It’s something that both of us can benefit.Heck,even the members can benefit from it.Just wait for it ok?” Hyunjoo removed her hands from his mouth and pecked his lips

Yongguk pouted slightly and nodded obediently “sure”
