The next morning, Jihyun woke up without feeling any pain on her back. In fact, she felt undeniably great.

Suddenly, her door opened, revealing a group of unfamiliar guys and one of them was holding a tray of food. “Oh, hyung! The princess is awake!”

“Yah! Hyung said not to call her ‘princess’!” Another guy said.

“Who are you?” Jihyun asked. Just then, her brother entered the room. “Why are you guys so noisy?!”

“Oh hyung, leave me out of it.” The one guy holding the tray said. “Tch. Just leave the room first. I’ll introduce you to her later when she’s fine.” Suho instructed them and they immediately obliged.

“Oppa, who are they?”
