So its the time for me to fix it.” eunjung smile. She approach hyuna. “look at me. I’m glad that you think that way and you realise your fault.

Her mother died since she was young, her father need to get married to my mother and she get a sister like me, that treat her harshly, ignore her even she try hard to get close to me, a sisiter that hate her since the first time we meet. Can you imagine how hard life that she need to face? Can you imagine you at her place?” eunjung say while holding jiyeon hand.

Hyuna head down. “you may see us as a kid from a wealthy family, we can get whatever we want with the money we have, but our life is not that great.

Unnie will stay awake to look after her.” She tap hyuna shoulder. “aniya, its ok. Unnie go get some rest. I’m ok with it.” eunjung sit beside jiyeon. “let just both rest ok.” Hyuna smile. She sit at the couch, looking at eunjung that now sitting beside jiyeon. she adore how eunjung take care of jiyeon, how she look at her, how she love jiyeon, how she pampered jiyeon, and how she protect jiyeon with everything she can.
