"Took you guys long enough, the doctor was trying to get in but we couldn't have just let them in without you guys breathing or moving"Min Ho said as soon as the three girls started moving
.
.
.
.
.
"So what happened?"Taeyong asked and Taeyeon nodded at him
.
.
.
.
.
"We arrived just in time"Taeyeon replied and Min Ho sighed in relief
.
.
.
.
.
"What about the re-assignation?"Taeyong asked again
.
.
.
.
.
"It's been postponed"This time Karina replied
.
.
.
.
.
"Don't ever do that again I swear Karina if something bad happens to you because of me I'm gonna kill Min Ho"Taeyeon said and Karina chuckled while Min Ho looks at Taeyeon with a confused look
.
.
.
.
.
"What the hell? Why am I involved?"Min Ho asked and Taeyeon laughed
.
.
.
.
.
"Well I can't kill Taeyong he's young, you're old and you've already experienced life"Taeyeon joked and Min Ho only rolls his eyes
.
.
.
.
.
The doctor knocked on the door for the tenth time and this time they finally let him in, he checked Karina's vitals and she seemed to be fine even her X-Ray and tests were fine
.
.
.
.
.
"You can be discharged already, your tests are all good and there's nothing serious going on maybe you really just passed out from stress but apart from that you're all good"The doctor said and smiled at them before leaving, NingNing and Giselle now went in
.
.
.
.
.
"Jesus Karina you scared the hell out of us"Giselle exclaimed
.
.
.
.
.
"I was honestly more scared of Winter earlier if you'd seen her she was practically running a marathon at the house when she was getting dressed and then she immediately pulled us into her car which felt like kidnapping..... It scared the hell out of me"NingNing told and Karina bursted into laughter with her story
.
.
.
.
.
"She was worried as hell, when she told us you were here she was speeding and we almost got a ticket good thing we said it was an emergency and the cop said they'll let it slide for one time because Winter was almost crying"Giselle added and Winter was just covering her face from the embarrassment as she heard her friends perspective
.
.
.
.
.
"I let it show too much..... Oh my god"
.
.
.
.
.
"Thank you guys for worrying and going here but I'm fine it was just some stress from work"Karina said and the two nodded
.
.
.
.
.
"From your way of speaking you seem to be quite close aren't you?"Min Ho asked and The two nodded at him
.
.
.
.
.
"Could I ask you a favor then? I can trust you right?"Min Ho asked again and the two looked at each other before looking at Winter
.
.
.
.
.
"Don't look at me, he's asking you guys"Winter said
.
.
.
.
.
"It goes with you too Miss Winter"Min Ho said and Winter stopped for a moment before nodding her head
.
.
.
.
.
"Can you guys take care of Karina?"Min Ho asked and Karina instantly sat up
.
.
.
.
.
"What?"Karina asked but Min Ho didn't pay attention to her as he was waiting for the three girls to answer
.
.
.
.
.
"Taeyong's gonna be out for a couple of months since he's...... Going with his boyfriend to Paris for relationship reasons"Min Ho said and looked at Taeyong who was smiling
.
.
.
.
.
"I've got work at night so Karina would be alone at the house and right now I wouldn't want that because something might happen again"Min Ho added
.
.
.
.
.
"But oppa I'm not a kid anymore, I can take care of myself"Karina defended but Min Ho only spared a glance at her
.
.
.
.
.
"That's the thing You absolutely can but you failed to do so and this happened"Min Ho stated and clearly he was lying in all his words as he kept raising his eyebrows
.
.
.
.
.
"Can you guys just live with her for a couple of months? Until Taeyong gets back because Karina is a sister to me and I don't want these type of things happening to her"Min Ho explained
.
.
.
.
.
"What? What about me then? I'm your bro"Taeyong asked in disbelief
.
.
.
.
.
"You're big Taeyong you can handle yourself"Min Ho said which made Taeyeon cover her mouth to prevent laughing at Taeyong who was acting sulky
.
.
.
.
.
"But I am too"Karina said but once again Min Ho didn't pay attention to her
.
.
.
.
.
To Min Ho this is a task, he wants the girls to agree because in this way Karina can be closer to Winter. It was a plan to save Karina
.
.
.
.
.
"W-we can..... If K-karina allows"Winter replied and Karina looked at her
.
.
.
.
.
"Right now I'm in charge, I'm the brother so I make the decisions.... This is for Karina so I would ofcourse allow"Min Ho said and Karina couldn't do anything anymore, brother is their codeword for 'I need you to trust me on this'
.
.
.
.
.
"F-fine"Karina replied
.
.
.
.
.
"You'll live at Karina's house since Nævis is there to help you with anything you need and also to keep me in touch with you guys at all times"Min Ho stated and the three girls agreed
.
.
.
.
.
Min Ho bid his thanks and goodbye as he had to go help Taeyong pack for his trip, Taeyong also bid his goodbye
.
.
.
.
.
"I'll take my leave now too, I'll call sometimes"Taeyeon said and Hugged Winter before patting Karina's head
.
.
.
.
.
"We're good?"Taeyeon asked and Karina smiled before nodding
.
.
.
.
.
Taeyeon smiled back and left. The four girls are the only ones left
.
.
.
.
.
"You should go home and rest, I'll be fine here.... You should also pack your bags because knowing Min Ho oppa he'd go to my house by tommorow to see if you're there"Karina said and the three looked at each other
.
.
.
.
.
"I'll stay"Winter said but Karina shook her head
.
.
.
.
.
"Go home Winter you need rest too and the nurses can take care of me for the night"Karina replied, Winter was about to protest but Karina gave her a reassuring smile
.
.
.
.
.
"I'll be fine, I promise"Karina said and Winter sighed before nodding nd heading out with NingNing and Giselle
.
.
.
.
.
"She's really fine Winter stop worrying"NingNing said and pulled Winter who keeps on looking back
.
.
.
.
.
"Yeah she's f--- Winter? What's on your neck?"Giselle asked and Winter's head turned immediately
.
.
.
.
.
"What?"Winter asked, her mind was panicking and she was already thinking of lies to get out of this one
.
.
.
.
.
"I thought I saw something on your neck"Giselle said and Winter held onto her neck, covering the mark
.
.
.
.
.
"It's probably just a shadow"NingNing said and Giselle nodded as they continued walking
.
.
.
.
.
Winter was relieved and wanted to hug her bestfriend for saving her on that one even though NingNing didn't know
.

"Good Morning"Karina greeted everyone as she entered the building, the staff bowed down to greet her
.
.
.
.
.
"Are you okay Karina? I heard from Min Ho oppa about what happened"Irene asked and Karina nodded
.
.
.
.
.
"I'm fine unnie it was just some stress"Karina replied and Irene nodded and smiled
.
.
.
.
.
"What do you think are you doing?"Min Ho asked as he entered
.
.
.
.
.
"Uhmm.... Working?"Karina asked and Min Ho shook his head
.
.
.
.
.
"You need rest Karina, go home I'll work for now"Min Ho said
.
.
.
.
.
"Eh? But oppa"Karina whined but Min Ho remained cold and only stared at her
.
.
.
.
.
"Go home, your friends are already at your house"Min Ho said and Karina stopped and stared at him
.
.
.
.
.
"Taeyong drove them there before going on his flight"Min Ho added and started lightly pushing Karina out of the building
.
.
.
.
.
"Come on now go home and rest, if you need recharge she's there just make sure you're not too loud and remember? You've only got a week"Min Ho reminded and Karina just rolled her eyes before driving back home
.

"Your house is really big..... You and Taeyong are the only ones here?"Giselle asked and Karina nodded
.
.
.
.
.
They were all at the living room watching cartoons as NingNing picked it and was whining about Ice cream which clearly they could not buy because the store is quite far
.
.
.
.
.
"We don't really do much so we just stay at home most of the times, we'd play video games and sometimes we'd play some sports"Karina said
.
.
.
.
.
"You don't go out?"NingNing asked
.
.
.
.
.
"We do but only when we go to a schedule or buying something"Karina replied
.
.
.
.
.
NingNing was about to ask again but the doorbell cut her off, Karina stood up and opened the door. No one was outside and only a box was in her porch, she picked it up and red who sent it
.
.
.
.
.
"From: Lee Oppa"
.
.
.
.
.
"He really wrote lee oppa?"Karina bursted out laughing as it was clearly from Taeyong
.
.
.
.
.
She went back in, the three girls were looking at her and they immediately saw the box that she was holding
.
.
.
.
.
"A package?"Winter asked
.
.
.
.
.
"It's from Taeyong"Karina said and they all nodded
.
.
.
.
.
Their eyes went back on the TV as Karina opened the box, there was something wrapped up and a letter was on top of it
.
.
.
.
.
"Hey hey Rina, it's ofcourse the handsome brother Lee Taeyong. This was given by Jaehyun by the way because I wouldn't have sent you a gift, anyways he says to have fun with it"
.
.
.
.
.
"I knew it, He doesn't buy gifts not even on my birthday so I'm not surprised"Karina said to herself and took out the wrapped up gift
.
.
.
.
.
As she lifted it up her eyes grew wide, Winter looked back to Karina and her eyes landed on what she was holding. She quickly averted her eyes back to the TV as her face reddens
.
.
.
.
.
"Is that even still allowed? That's practically nothing" Winter thought
.
.
.
.
.
Karina immediately shoves the gift back into the box and looks at the three who was watching the TV, she sighed in relief in thoughts that no one saw what it was
.
.
.
.
.
"Those two think alike"Karina whispered to herself as she covers the box and sits back down on the sofa
.
.
.
.
.
"So what is that? Who is it from?"NingNing asked and Karina gulped
.
.
.
.
.
"Oh.... Uhmm... It's from Jaehyun.... It's a...... Uhh.... necklace"Karina lied and NingNing nodded, believing what the girl had said. Giselle also believed it but Winter didn't as she saw what it was but pretended to believe it as well
.
.
.
.
.
"Why the sudden gift?"Giselle asked
.
.
.
.
.
"I guess it was supposed to arrive when I became CEO but it got delayed since it looked like it came from overseas"Karina replied and Giselle didn't ask anymore as she had thought Jaehyun was being nice to his boyfriend's sister
.
.
.
.
.
"Why don't we watch a movie?"Karina asked and the girls immediately looked at her
.
.
.
.
.
"I have Twilight maybe you guys want to watch that? Or we could pick something else"Karina said and the girls eyes sparkled at the mention of the movie
.
.
.
.
.
"Let's watch Twilight, it's our favourite movie"NingNing excitedly said and Karina smiled
.
.
.
.
.
She settled the box down and went to the TV, inserting a USB that was in the drawer beside it. She played the movie and sat on the couch again
.
.
.
.
.
"It's been long since I've watched this"Karina said
.
.
.
.
.
"Us too"Winter replied
.
.
.
.
.
It was quiet as they watched the movie, NingNing and Giselle were huddled up together and was clearly fangirling at the movie. Winter was shaking a bit as the AC had been turned on since earlier, Karina looked to her side to see Winter and she immediately grabbed a blanket
.
.
.
.
.
She gave one to the two girls who were clearly freezing as well, they just smiled at her and continued watching. Karina poked Winter on the arm and the girl looked at her
.
.
.
.
.
"Here"Karina said and handed over the blanket, Winter took it and covered herself but she was worried that Karina might be cold too since there was only two blankets
.
.
.
.
.
Winter kept on looking at Karina who was back to watching the movie again, she bit her lip and built up her courage. Winter moved closer to Karina and tapped her shoulder
.
.
.
.
.
"Hmm? Still cold?"Karina asked and looked at her, Winter shook her head
.
.
.
.
.
"L-let's share"Winter said and opened the blanket, Karina was taken aback at first but she smiled and covered herself as well
.
.
.
.
.
"Thanks"Karina replied and Winter only nodded as she was still feeling embarrassed at how she was building up courage just to ask Karina to share the blanket
.
.
.
.
.
Karina was in fact cold but she was shy on asking Winter, she froze as she felt Winter move a bit more and they were practically sticking together
.
.
.
.
.
Karina held her breath but it was no use as she had already got a whiff of Winter's scent, it was getting dangerous for her. Karina was controlling herself but Winter suddenly wrapped her hands on Karina
.
.
.
.
.
"S-sorry.... It's s-so cold"Winter whispered and it only drove Karina more insane
.
.
.
.
.
"It's.... F-fine"Karina said even though it was not as she was hanging on a thread and she could easily snap in just a few seconds and a little more push
.
.
.
.
.
Karina looks to her side and she sees the two girls laying their heads together, their eyes were already closed
.
.
.
.
.
"Fuck it.... I can't handle this anymore"
