In Myungsoo's room

Myungsoo's busy texting someone while Sooyoung watches him from the top bunk.

"Oppa, who are you texting?" Sooyoung asked.

"Rome hyung." Myungsoo replied without looking away.

"Oppa, doesn't your hurt? You've been sitting on the floor for 30 minutes now."

"Gwenchana."

"Oppa~ Why do you keep texting him?"

"..."

"Omo, don't tell me..." Sooyoung shot him a sly smile.

"What?" Myungsoo turned to look at her.

"Oppa, you like him?" Sooyoung asked.

"YAH! D-don't get the wrong idea!" Myungsoo was so stunned that he dropped his cell phone on the floor.

"Oppa, that's a very expensive phone!" Sooyoung scolded.

"I'm NOT GAY." Myungsoo emphasized.

"Kekeke, then why do you keep texting Rome oppa?" She asked.

"Since when did you call other people 'oppa'?" Myungsoo retorted.

"I asked you first oppa." 

"...Remember when you asked me if you could become an actress?" 

"Yes??" Sooyoung asked, excited to hear what Myungsoo has to say.

"Well, Rome hyung's been telling me how they needed an actress to film their MV "Far away, Young Love" so... I recommended you to him."

"OMO, JEONGMAL?" 

"Jeongmal."

"But what if I'm not 'actress material'?"

"Remember the time when I decided to pull a prank on Moonsoo on April Fools' day?"

"Oh, so?"

Flashback

1 April 2009 Moonsoo's house.

"OPPA!" Sooyoung cried as she burst through the door.

"Wae dongsaeng ahh?" Moonsoo asked, concerned.

There she stood, with her hair messed up, her hands covered with blood, her uniform had bloodstains on it and her shoes were covered with mud.

"Oppa, I got bullied at school." Sooyoung held up her hands that were covered with blood. "LOOK OPPA! It hurts so much.." She started to cry. 

"YAH!! YAH!! WHO DID THIS TO YOU??" Moonsoo was angry. Very angry. He was so angry that he wanted to punch a wall to make him feel better.

Sooyoung just kept on crying. 

"DONGSAENG AHH!!" Moonsoo yelled while shaking her shoulders. "WHO DID THIS TO YOU?? WHEN AND WHERE??"

How could he have missed it? They weren't studying in the same classroom together but they were studying on the same floor. He would've seen it. Unless it happened...right after he went home.

"YAH! No wonder you came back later than usual.. I'm such an idiot for not being able to protect you.. Mianhae dongsaeng ahh.." He hugged her. He didn't care whether her blood would stain his shirt or not.

"...Oppa...It hurts..." She whispered.

"Mianhae..." He hugged her tighter.

"No oppa, I should be the one saying sorry..."

"Wae?"

"Because this is a prank set up by Myungsoo oppa. He's outside now. He was filming this the whole time, it's just that you were too angry to notice his presence." She chuckled.

"BWO?" Moonsoo's loosened his grip. His eyes grew wider than before.

"Kekeke, mianhaeyo oppa." Sooyoung smiled.

He hugged her again. "At least you're okay baby sister."

"HYUNG! I'M GONNA GET YOU FOR THIS."

"...You kept this cd?" Sooyoung asked.

They just finished watching the video Myungsoo had filmed that day on his laptop.

"Why wouldn't I keep it? It's memories." Myungsoo smiled at her.

Her eyes welled with tears, her lips formed a smile.

"Are you gonna cry?" Myungsoo teased.

"...Yup." A tear fell on her cheek.

"Come on, let it out." He opened his arms as wide as he could.

"Kekeke..." She hugged him as tight as she could.

"I don't understand why you would suddenly let me be an actress again oppa."

"Well, I've thought about it and.. I don't want you to feel as if you're a burden to me, to us so, I'm giving you the chance to go earn money by yourself. But no more acting gigs after that. After that, you're accepting all the money me and Moonsoo have to give, understood?"

She nodded.

"If I have a girlfriend someday- and let me tell you, that's gonna be a long time away-then you can start acting again. Understood?"

"Yes oppa."

"Good. That's my girl." He rustled her hair.

"Gomawo oppa." She said.

"Thanks for giving me all the love you have to offer."

Instead of answering her, Myungsoo just stared at his phone. 

This guy Rome... Why do I trust him to take care of Sooyoung when I barely know him... Myungsoo thought.

I've lost my marbles for sure.. I don't trust INFINITE members but I trust a stranger?

Who knows, maybe Sooyoung won't fall in love with him..

But why do I WANT her to?
