She had a feeling that tonight was not going to be easy. It was her idea, a stupid idea of lying to her sister, an idiotic plan too but she couldn't think of anything else. As usual, it is 9:30PM but her sister won't be coming home until the next 15 minutes or so. That means she has 15 minutes or more to prepare dinner and think carefully about what she has to say later tonight.

She went to the kitchen and started to do her habitual chores but her mind kept wondering off. There is guilt, fear, worry and difficulty. She feels like she was being too selfish about her decision. For the nth time, she sighed again while doing her work. Guess she just have to deal with what's coming on her way.

It was the 3rd time he knocked at Hyukjae's front door and his face automatically brighten ups when the door opened. "Hyuk!" Donghae gave him a bear hug and flashed him a wide goofy smile. "Wow, have you been working out?" Donghae pats both his shoulders but Eunhyuk eyed him with uncertainty. Though Eunhyuk did appreciate that his friend noticed his well sculpted shoulder and chest right behind the white tank top he was wearing but he couldn't help but be suspicious.

"What are you doing here?"

Donghae's jaw almost dropped but he just airily laughed it out. "Must I need a reason to visit you Hyukjae?" Eunhyuk just rolled his eyes and Donghae didn't miss how his friend glanced at his side like he was trying to check on something. Shorty after their little mind games with each other, Donghae entered his friends house and whipped his jacket to Eunhyuk.

His jacket was smacked to the center of Eunhyuk's face and his friend just growled. Donghae made his way inside and found a familiar face at Eunhyuk's kitchen.

"Oh, Hyoyeon. You are here again?" He looked at Eunhyuk and then back at the girl. He suddenly found himself in an awkward situation. 'So that's why Eunhyuk wasn't too happy to see me'

"I literally live here Donghae, is there anything new?" She smiled while shaking her head. "Just in time oppa, Dinner is almost ready." He sees that she was becoming a little busy with her chores so Donghae only gave her a reassuring smile.

He then placed his arm over Eunhyuk's shoulder and grinned. "I hope I'm not interrupting anything." he felt a big amount of pain at his stomach after Eunhyuk's elbow attack on him. He'll let it slip this time just because he is in need of Lee Hyukjae's assistance.

"Unnie!" Yuri got a bit startled by her sister's hyper active behavior. She feels Yoona's happiness all over the house as she got dragged by the dinning table and what a sight, most of her favorite dishes are present at the table. "How was your work? I know you are hungry so eat up before the food gets cold." Yoona took a seat across her.

Yuri slowly got a grip and started munching her meal. "It wasn't very busy today at the office." Though Yoona only responded with a 'hmmm' sound, deep inside her feels a little relieved that her sister didn't had a bad day.

Yoona tried her best to slip in topics, make a laughable conversation and make the mood as happy as possible. It's like creating the 'mood' as she gradually starts her false act. Even when it was all smiles and laugh as the two finish their meal, there is still one thorn attached to Yoona's chest.

"Oh, unnie. . . I've told my friend about you a lot and he said that he wants to meet you too." Her eyes were wondering off every where around the house as her fingers played under the table. It was a lot harder than she predicted. She was unable look straight at her sister and how she wished that her lips whould stop trembling.

"You have met someone. . . " Yuri pierced her sister with a simple but deathly glare. ". . . and he wants to meet me." she leaned back and crossed her arms. "How come you never told me about him?" Wasn't her sister intimidating? Even to Yoona, even if she was her sister, Yoona was a bit terrified by her low but cold Yuri's voice can be.

 "We've only been crossing path or riding the same bus on my way home. I have talked to him for a few times and the thing about him is . . ."

There goes the plan. Executing it word by word, lie after lie and it was surely not intentional. Every single adjective she said about Donghae was half-truth and half-lie. The way she informs her sister about what a good person the guy is all true. The hard hitting lie was a simple but powerful phrase.

"So you are fine with meeting him this weekend right? He told that he will bring some of his friends too."

'Did it work?' Yoona was hanging on the slightest thread of hope for going out of the box for the first time. She didn't know how many times she gulped but after seeing her sister's reaction. Yuri's calm expression and relaxed posture made her released the breath she didn't even know she was holding back. "Yeah. . . . I guess so."

Once again, even if Yoona's reply was only a  smile and a nod, deep down inside her system, she wants jump up and down while screaming in victory.

"What?! No. No!" Eunhyuk stood up from his seat and slammed his palm over the table. "NO!" Making it as clear as possible. He directly declined Donghae's request the second he absorbed the information.

Hyoyeon took a sip of water, as soon as she was positive that she will not choke to death anymore, she placed down the glass and looked back and forth between the two boys. "Eunhyuk, sit down and stop shouting in front of the table."

"Come on Hyuk! It's not like you never asked a favor from me." Donghae stared at him, relying fully on him.

"Hey, when I ask you a favor, it's like. . 'Hae, are you passing by that grocery on your way home? Can you please buy a strawberry milk?' or 'Hae, can you help me fix my car?'. Your proposal is something far more complicated."

"But didn't you tell me that I need find that girl? I found her Hyuk and I'm not going to lose her just because of her sister." No joke, he is serious about Yoona and he wants to let them know it.

Eunhyuk even caught his girlfriend's awed reaction. "Oh no, no, no Hyo. Don't tell me you'll agree to his plan."

"Wel. . . it sounds so romantic of him. It maybe a weird choice but the idea is too cute." She faced Hyuk with a big smile on her face and he could only rub his temples.

"How about me Hyo?" Eunhyuk looked at her with a slight frown. "Would you think I'll look cute doing it too?" Hyoyeon only laughed at her boyfriend's annoyed expression.

"Please Hyuk. I'll remember what you'll do for me forever. Hyoyeon doesn't even have problem with it. Please buddy. . ."

There is no way Lee Hyukjae will lost even if it's two against one.

Yuri sat quietly over her bed while leaning her back at the wall. Think whether she made a right choice or not. Waiting to sleep to attack her mind while she ponder over her decision lately. Her door went open and not a second later her sister's whole body weight almost crushed her body. "Yoona?"

Yoona cuddled her with a beaming happy aura all over her face. "Unnie, let me sleep here." Yuri couldn't help but chuckle. Yoona can be a little too childish at times but that personality was the one she likes the most.

"I can't stop you even if I want to. Look, You even wore matching t-shirt and shorts with me." Yuri covered themselves with a blanket and wrapped her arms around Yoona.

Nothing was an act anymore, Yoona really felt that she needed to be at her sister's side that night. And no, it was not guilt, nothing was forcing her to be more intimately sweet or affectionate towards her sister. There was just that over flowing contentment and happiness that urged her to come to Yuri.

"Sleep tight Yoongie."

"Sweet dreams Yul-unnie." Who cares if they are not 12 years old anymore. One can never be too old to sleep next to each other. 

Lights out.

"Thank you so much Hyuk!" Donghae squeezed Eunhyuk's body with all his force. Eunhyuk would like to return the hug tighter and crush his friend but he chose to just pat his back. Eunhyuk assisted his friend to the front door and threw him his jacket. "Hyo! Thank you so much for the help. I seriously couldn't convince him without you." Donghae half shouted his last words of remark to her and the girl only nodded with a smile.

"Yeah, yeah. Go before I change my mind." With Donghae smiling from ear to ear, Eunhyuk forced his most friendly awkward smile to appear in his face before shutting the door closed. "I can't believe you made me do that."

He automatically ranted out as he approached back his girlfriend. "Don't tell me you're mad at me." She eyed him authoritatively. He only made 'tsch' sound as he s his hands arms around her waist.

"What else can I do?" he asked as he wiggles he eyebrows.

"How about continuing where we left before Donghae interrupted." She lands a sweet and long kiss at his lips. Good thing Hyukjae won't be angry for too long.
