Raemi's POV

"Jijoon?"

She'd entered the room, and turned around, and closed the door. She turned around again, and started to walk towards me with her face looking sour.

"I met her,"

She spoke as she already stand beside the hospital bed, and take a seat on the chair with her arms folded over her chest, and crossed a leg above another. I blankly stares at her.

"Who?"

"Raeni?"

I guessed as she took off her school bag, and hung it on the back of the chair neatly. She let out a sigh right after I mentioned my sister's name, and turned around, looking at me.

"Yeah, whatever her name is...,"

"I don't want to hear it,"

She made a face, and snorted as I gave her a nod.

As expected.

Park Jijoon, and Choi Raeni cannot be together at the same place, and time, or else, these two bombs would explode, and wouldn't want to stop bombing each other if one of them had not get admit to the hospital first. Because both of them extremely couldn't stand each other's spiteful tongues as Jijoon also hate Raeni's rude attitude, and absurd doings towards me because, since she knew that I would surrender easily over my sister, so she tries to defend, and protect me on my place instead, and sometimes, I do think that she was over protecting me, but never mind. As long as she didn't get hurt, I would just let her do whatever she wanted to do because she was a friend who also close to me, although I was the one who had broke our precious friendship after Woori went missing. But, she had never once give up on me though, and decided to stay by my side, even though I was sort of being an austere towards her most of the time.

I averted my gaze back at the lunch box in front of me, and reached out for it. I placed the lunch box on my lap, and stares down at it as I was hesitating whether to eat the food or not to eat it.

"What is she doing here?"

She asked, and I glanced at her, and lifted up the lunch box for her to see as she take a look at it.

"Breakfast,"

I said, and looked down again.

"From appa...,"

I trailed off, and smiled as I, honestly, couldn't contain how happy I was, although I guessed this lunch was originally not to be pack for me, but probably for one of his close clients, but, because of his client suddenly had to take care of an urgent matter, so dad didn't get to meet him, and asked Raeni to go to the hospital, and give me the lunch box, instead. I quit smiling, and decided to eat the food. Jijoon smirked.

"Since when?"

I shrugged at her question, and started to undo both zips of the lunch box bag.

"Don't tell me you're going to eat that, Rae,"

She said as I took out the lunch box from its bag, and started to click open the lid.

"Are you that hungry?"

I nodded, making her sprang up from the chair with her face looking a bit menace. I was about to scoop the white rice with a spoon, but got stopped, as she quickly snatched the spoon from my hand, and the lunch box along with the lid, and the lunch box bag, and put everything back to its normal state, as she placed the lunch box on the cardiac table. I froze as I expected this from her. She flashed me a sour smile.

"Wait here,"

"I'm going to buy you something better than this,"

She turned around shortly, and slang her school bag over her shoulder. She was about to grabbed the lunch box, but got stopped, as she froze at her pace.
