It was so good having Jong Suk around the turmoiled time for Shin Hye, she was able to laugh a bit. Her brother was about to leave the room and check for their food when the door was opened and greeted happily by Woo Bin and Min Ho.

Shin Hye's laughter immediately stopped. She was frozen. Unable to believe to her very eyes that Min Ho was in front of her standing charismatically next to Woo Bin. Something was wrong with his image, he looked skinnier and he looked exhausted. Shin Hye's heart sank seeing how Min Ho's condition was. In order not to let anyone notice, Shin Hye put up her friendly and cheerful face and welcomed Woo Bin and Min Ho.

"Come.. Comee... sit down..." Shin Hye invited.

"Hope it's okay that I brought Hyung here as well. We ran into each other just now." Woo Bin explained. 

"Sure.. no worries. It's on the house." Shin Hye said. Shin Hye's brother was standing behind the seated Woo Bin and Min Ho asking her to come out with him as well. " One moment please. I think Oppa needs my assistance." Shin Hye said.

"I can help too," Jong Suk offered and was about to stand up. 

"No... No... You are a guest here. So, please just sit down and wait for us to bring the food. " Shin Hye insisted. 

"Shin Hye...Don't leave me alone with these two...." Jong Suk pretended to be scared of Woo Bin and Min Ho. He deliberately held Shin Hye's hands and tried to pull her back.

"Ya!" Min Ho said all of the sudden. This shocked all of them in the room and all eyes were at him.

Shin Hye used the opportunity to loosen Jong Suk's grip.

"Sorry! I was startled by my mobile phone. It was on high vibrate." Min Ho took out his phone and pretended to look at the screen.

"I'll be back then. " Shin Hye said and went out of the door. Her brother was actually waiting for her outside the room. "Oppa! You surprised me." Shin Hye was startled. 

"What is Min Ho doing here?" Her brother questioned Shin Hye. "Did you invite him?"

"Oppa... look! There's nothing between us. I was the one who wanted the distance. You can see what he is like there. So, please, respect him as my guest." Shin Hye warned her brother. Knowing the fact that Shin Hye admitted she was the one who asked for the distance made her brother at ease. 

She followed her brother to the kitchen and helped their workers to bring their meal.

Despite having an awkward situation, the hearthy meal helped to sooth the situation gradually. Woo Bin and Jong Suk kept on teasing one another while Min Ho took any chances to stare as much as he could at Shin Hye. Shin Hye noticing this, at times looked at Min Ho as well and at times joining the conversation. 

"Shin Hye, I'll pick you up later. Mom wants me to make a delivery." INterjected her brother. Shin Hye nodded and waved at her brother as he left the room. 

Shin Hye felt uneasy since Min Ho was staring at her and her fear was that the two other gentlemen would notice, so she excused herself saying that she needed to check the kitchen to see if her mom would need her help. Woo Bin and Jong Suk nodded.

"Be back real soon.. We'll feel very lonely without your presence." Jong Suk joked at Shin Hye. Shin Hye gave him a smile and her eyes automatically darted at Min Ho who looked gloomier and at the same time annoyed. 

As she left the room, she leaned against the wall trying to catch her breath. 

"Ottoke? Ottoke? This is crazy....." She hit her chest trying to calm herself down. While she was doing that, the door opened and he stepped out. Shin Hye's eyes widened and she froze a little bit. Her eyes were getting bleary seeing him. She pressed her lips together trying to hold the emotions that she had been trying to supress. She ran to the back of the kitchen and went outside. "This is getting crazier!" She wanted to scream. She wanted to run away as much as she could but what explanation can she give to them later on and especially her mom.
