“Oh. Who’s this, Hyukjae?” Sunye softly asked. They were all stunned and eyes focused on the new girl.
“She’s Kim Hyoyeon of 4-B. She’s in the same class with Dara and Leeteuk-hyung.” Eunhyuk answered as he pulled Hyoyeon to the sofa.
“I’ll just get you some nutritious food.” Eunhyuk smiled at her. He left and went downstairs.
It was only 5 minutes but she felt that it was more. She gulped as she felt all of them looking at her. The sofa moved and Hyoyeon curiously looked who sat beside her. But immediately looked down when she saw the person.
“You seems uncomfortable, Hyoyeon-sunbae.” Suzy spoke as she caressed Hyoyeon’s hair. She flinched as she felt her hand.
“I-I-I’m f-fine. Umm… S-s-sunbae?” She stuttered. Suzy smiled and touched Hyoyeon’s chin to face her.
“I’m Bae Suji. But please call me Suzy.” She smiled. Hyoyeon nodded and gazed down at her hands. The sofa moved once again.
“I’m Sunye. Don’t worry. We won’t hurt you.” Sunye said softly. She touched her stiff hands.
“I-I k-k-know.” Hyoyeon muttered, earning a soft chuckle from the sisters. A hand placed on her knee and she looked up.
“My name is Yu Jin. Should we get to know each other, Hyoyeon-sshi?” Yu Jin grinned when Hyoyeon gulped because of her words.

“Umm, beef broccoli and tuna omelette please.” Eunhyuk smiled as he told the old lady in the counter his order. There are no students anymore in the line because it was already half of the lunch time. Suddenly a hand banged his food tray causing him to shrieked silently. He widened his eyes and looked to the owner of that hand but glared after he found out who it was.
“If you don’t have anything to do to your life, don’t come to me just to banged my tray for no reason. Are you retarded or what?” Eunhyuk angrily hissed. But the other gave only him a blank face. Eunhyuk’s forehead creased, confused of that blank face and somewhat irritated.
“What?” He asked, looking back at him. The other narrowed his eyes, observing Eunhyuk’s eyes.
“Who’s that girl?” Donghae asked him.
Eunhyuk frowned and rolled his eyes. He went back his attention to the bowl of soup.
“Which girl?” He said, grabbing one and put it on his tray.
“What do you mean ‘which girl’?? Are you a well-known play boy or something?” Donghae exasperatingly asked again. Eunhyuk looked at him and scoffed.
“Well, you can say that. With this face and my amazing skills, who will not fall in love with me?” Eunhyuk bragged, extending his arms to emphasize his words and chuckled silently after. Donghae glared at him. Oh, his arrogant side is on.
The old lady served Eunhyuk’s order, saying ‘beef broccoli and tuna omelette for handsome prince.’. He smiled in response. Eunhyuk shrugged his shoulders and smirked at Donghae. Told you.
“I think you need to consider yourself being more retarded. Back to the question, who’s that girl?” Donghae sighed heavily, giving up because of the other’s arrogant behavior.
“Well, you might try to give me a more explanation about it so I can remember what you are talking about bec- Oh! Ahjumma! Do you have strawberry milk?” He cut off his own words and ask the old lady.
“Of course, I saved the last one for you. Here it is, prince.” The old lady softly said and smiled. Eunhyuk smiled back and took the mini bottle of the strawberry milk from her and put it on his tray. Then he remembered something.
“Oh, do you have banana milk?” He asked once again to the old lady. She nodded and gave one to him. Donghae, who was watching the whole incident, turned puzzled.
“Why are you ordering two? Do you like both of it?” He confusingly asked, forgetting his question for him to answer. Eunhyuk took the tray and faced him.
“Oh. Nope. The other one is for Hyoyeon-sshi.” He said and left him dumbfounded and headed upstairs.
Donghae’s eyes followed the blonde’s being and blinked.
So Hyoyeon is the name, huh?

A day had passed and it was already Friday. It’s been a week ever since he started studying at ShinHwa High. It made him deadly tired. Donghae felt bored as they went home already. He changed his clothes and went out of his room. He decided to walk around their house for a while. Since the underground hall is prohibited for the mean time, he chose to walk around the garden, Then he spotted his sister, sitting on a wooden bench. He went to her and sat beside her. Silence filled the area. You can only hear the wind that swayed the enormous and beautiful trees, the birds’ chirping and the noise made by the leaves that were flying and walking of the ground.
“What is it?” Seo Hyun asked, breaking the comfortable silence. She was still looking out of nowhere when she asked him.
“Nothing. I just felt bored. I saw you here so I sat beside you. Now I know why you like staying here, it’s too quiet but the silence is comfortable.” He smiled and closed his eyes, savouring the moment.
“You’re thinking of something right? I can sense it. Tell me.” She demanded with soft voice. He opened his eyes and finally looked at her sister with a pout.
“I can’t never hide a secret from you, am I right?” He responded. She chuckled and looked at him.
“Just tell me. You know that I’m always here to listen.” She smiled. He smiled and faced her like a child. He raised his feet and hugged his knees.
“Well, I have a project in English Literature and it is by pairs. I need to make a miniature of Proscenium Theater.” He stopped. Seo Hyun tilted her head.
“So? You want me to help you? Is that it?” She asked. Donghae shook his head, muttering ‘It’s not that..’
“Then what? If it is by pairs then you should work with your partner, not you alone.” She muttered. Donghae sighed and leaned his head on the backrest of the bench then closed his eyes.
“My partner is Lee Hyukjae.” He whispered but enough for her to hear. Seo Hyun grinned and looked away.
“And so, what is the problem with that?” She asked again. This time, he opened his eyes.
“We decided to do our project in their house.” He said. She immediately turned her head to him.
“And why did you agree on that?”
“It’s because if we will do it here, I can’t promise if he’ll go out alive. You know Heechul-hyung.”
“But oppa is not here. He’s hunting at Gangwon-do with your father.”
“Yah, he’s your father too, okay? It’ll still be dangerous for him to visit here. The others are here, they would not think twice to kill him, or throw him to the dungeon at the underground hall, where his brother is...” He muttered the last part and gazed down at his knees.
“But what about you? Their house are full of angels. They would also not think twice to kill you, and to think that we’re one of the people who kidnapped Kyuhyun.” She said, worry evident on her voice. He closed his eyes and sighed.
“I trust Hyukjae.” She stared at him.
“I trust him. I believe he’ll not hurt me. I don’t know why but I do have faith in him. And besides, he received pain ever since that incident. That memory, his brother, his family, that scar, it hurt him inside. It will be fine if they hurt me. I just don’t want him to feel that again. I’m afraid that he’ll break down any second. I really don’t know why but I think I understand what he feel.” He slowly opened his eyes and stared at each other. Seo Hyun smiled and ruffled his hair.
“You really are concerned to him, oppa.”
“I don’t.” He rolled his eyes.
“Yes, you are. He’s really your angel. There’s no doubt on it.” She teased.
“Oh, shut up, Seo Joohyun.” He hissed.
“I’m just kidding.” She chuckled. Donghae scoffed and closed his eyes again.
“So what do you want me to do?” She added, closing her eyes too.
There was a moment of silence. The comfortable silence came back. They can hear again the birds’ chirping, the wind who swayed the trees and the falling leaves.
“Come with me tomorrow, Seo Hyun.” He said, still with eyes closed. She half-smiled and opened her eyes and turned her head to him. She reached for his hands and massaged it. He opened his eyes when he felt a hand caressed his own.
“I will, Donghae-oppa.” She smiled.
“Thank you.” He muttered and half-smiled. Seo Hyun stood up and walked away but suddenly stopped.
“You want me to come because you’re just afraid.” She joked. Donghae turned around.
“SEO JOOHYUN!! COME BACK HERE, YOU BRAT!!” He shouted and ran after her.
