~*Your/Hye Ri's POV*~

"Dang girl. Usually you say 'hi' before anything else." He smirked.

My face flushed a light pink, almost the shade of his hair. "S-sorry." I bowed. "Uhm... hi... ah. I'm sorry. I forget your name." I sheephishly curled a lock of my hair behind my ear.

"I'll trade my name for your name." He bargained.

"You two know each other?" Sumi questioned.

"Yea." "No." He and I both answered at the same time. He gave me a look.

"What do you mean we don't know each other? I know who you are. You're that girl who stands and waits for people to run into you." He laughed. "And I'm the guy who likes running into people who are standing around. How can you say that we don't know each other?"

"I do not wait for people to run into me!" I protested.

"So is that a yes or a no?" Sumi asked once again.

"It's whatever you want it to be, Sumi Kim. But why don't you introduce us so I can get her name." The pink haired boy said.

Sumi rolled her eyes at the boy, but she complied and began introducing us. "Hye Ri, this is Byunghun-"

"No. It's L.Joe, actually." He cut in.

"Okay then. Hye Ri, this is L.Joe, but his real name is Byunghun." Sumi emphasized. "Byunghun, this is Hye Ri, my cousin." She stuck her tongue out at him once she finished. He rolled his eyes at her childishness.

"Nice to meet you Byunghun-sshi." I greeted.

"Same."

"So...Uhm... can I ask... why you're here..?" I asked bluntly with a tilt of my head. I was curious as to why the pink headed boy was in my cousin's house. What's the relationship between the two?

He opened his mouth to answer but Sumi beat him to it. "Hye Ri-yah. Can you excuse us for a moment? I need to borrow Byunghyun..." He gave her a look. "L.Joe for a second." I nodded. Sumi smiled and dragged L.Joe away by the arm.

I sat on the couch and waited for them to finish whatever they were doing. My fingers played with the necklace that hung around my neck, thinking about L, as I gazed around Sumi's living room to keep myself preoccupied.

I wonder why Oppa's been so busy lately... How much longer will it take for things to be the way they were again? Not much longer I hope.

A familiar object on the coffee table caught my attention and broke my train of thought. I inched closer to the item in order to see it better. It was a watch. An exact replica of one that I had bought L Oppa before for his birthday.

Wha... It's exactly the same. What a coincidence. I guess we really are related since Unnie has the same taste as me... Or maybe it's that pink haired boy's watch?

I carefully held the watch in my hand and turned it over and over again.

"Sorry for making you wait so long, Hye Ri-yah." Sumi called as she walked over from the kitchen with Byunghun.

"Hm? Oh, it's okay, Unnie. It wasn't that long." I reassured her and placed the watch back down on the coffee table.

"So, are you still curious about our relationship?" She asked straightforwardly. I nodded eagerly in response. Sumi came close and whispered into my ear.

"L.Joe... he's... my boyfriend." She confessed.

"CINCHA!?!" I gaped at her. She bit her lip and nodded. "Unnie. Why didn't you tell me? I thought we were close. I told you about L Oppa!" I whined.

"Mian~ I didn't have time to tell you." She apologized.

"Fine. I forgive you this once, Unnie. But only this once!" I let her off and walked up to Byunghun. "You better treat her well, Byunghun-sshi! Or else I'll hate you forever." I threatened playing the 'protective cousin' role that Sumi had played when she met L.

L.Joe smirked. "Don't worry. I will."

"Good." I nodded in approval and returned to my seat, smiling.

"Now that I've become you're cousin's boyfriend, you should drop the formalities. Try calling me L.Joe Oppa instead, kay?"

"Oppa?" I said the word questioningly.

"Yes?" He eagerly responded.

"You want me to call you, Oppa?"

"That's what I said, didn't I?" He smirked in amusement.

"Mmm... I don't know." I said doubtfully. "What do you think, Unnie?"

"I think you should let him suffer." Sumi said with an evil grin.

"Yah! Sumi!" L.Joe barked.

"Araso~" I giggled with Sumi.

The rest of the day, I spent it at Sumi's. I helped her with whatever she needed and got to know L.Joe a bit more. I had a lot of fun spending time with the couple. They had cute arguements and made me feel welcome rather than a third wheel.

The only thing that could have made the day perfect would have been if L Oppa had been there by my side. I miss you, Oppa.
