Paper Lilies | Jeong Yunho

Author's POV

"Wake up! It's morning! Wake up, sleepyhead!"

A person screams beside Nari causing her to smack her hand on their face.

"Ow! What the fuck?"

Nari groans on her bed, rolling to the other side and hiding her ears with a pillow. She drifts back to sleep until someone had pulled her out of her soft mattress. The girl fell on the floor with a thud, luckily there was a soft carpet below making her fall not to harsh.

"Wake up! Wake up!" The person shakes her right foot continuously. Finally, Nari opens her eyes to see her annoying 'favourite' cousin.

"Ugh, it's too early... Why are you waking me up... Sunday... There's no school..." She mutters, starting to drift back to her slumber, again.

The person shakes their head and leaves the sleeping girl on the floor. Nari sighs in relief from the silence and goes back to sleep, on the floor.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The raven-haired girl immediately sits up from the floor and sees Yeosang banging the pots and pans together with Jongho whose holding a phone beside him.

"What the-"

"Ahahaha! The look on your face was so funny!" Jongho laughs holding the camera in front of the confused girl's face. Noticing that the younger is filming her, she immediately covers her face with her one hand while the other is waving the camera away.

"Stop! It's not funny!"

"Alright, that's enough Jjong. Now that she's finally awake, we can start our plan," Yeosang says making Jongho pout and stop the video. The older looks at Nari who was slowly standing up from the floor, a grumpy expression on her face.

"What plan?" The two men looks at each other, seemingly communicating using their eyes to which Nari gives them more confused look. The two breaks eye contact and smiles at the raven-haired girl.

"Oh, you will be going out today," Yeosang cheekily says.

"What? But I don't wanna go outside-"

"Nuh uh uh, little miss, now go and get ready! Sannie hyung made breakfast so hurry up if you don't wanna miss it~" The brunette pushes the confused girl into her bathroom before closing it in front of her face, not giving her a chance to say something. Nari sighs and did what she's asked to.

After getting ready, she goes down the stairs and to the kitchen to see her cousin's bickering quietly about something.

"Uh, what's going on?"

Seeing the girl by the entrance of the kitchen, the trio immediately stopped talking and quickly prepared the table.

"Oh, it's nothing serious, Ri," San approaches Nari and walks her to the table. "You look nice in that dress by the way." He sits her down on one of the chairs in the long table.

"Yeah, you look good. You should wear dresses more often, it fits you well," Yeosang compliments the girl as he attempts to smoothly grab a drumstick of the spicy chicken that San had cooked before getting smacked at the hand by the latter.

"You know how I feel about dresses, Yeo," Nari mumbles, slightly gripping on the chair. She looks down on her chosen attire, sighing in relief as she sees that the lilac dress doesn't reveal the skin above her knees

"Oh come on, Noona! You wear those pretty short school skirts most of the time, why is a dress any different than that?"

"She has no choice, Jongho. Now let's start eating before Maltese right here jumps at me for making him wait," San quickly sits on the seat across Yeosang before he actually gets jumped by him.

The mentioned lad crosses his arms and grumbles on his seat.

"I'm not Maltese!"

Nari's POV

"Ugh, why are you here?" I glare at the tall man in front of me. He gives me an awkward smile while shifting on his foot.

"Um.. to accompany you?"

After our lovely breakfast, the three boys had told me to go wherever I want as long as I don't go home before 6 pm. I told them that I should feed Riri first but they pushed me out of the house saying they'll feed her and that someone is waiting for me outside the gates, though I did not expected it to be Jeong Yunho.

I let out a scoff and walked past him. He was stunned by my behaviour but quickly followed behind me.

"Nari-"

"I shouldn't have wore a freaking dress," I walked while stomping on the floor so hard that it might possibly break on my feet, glaring at nothing in front of me.

"Huh? You look good though-"

"Stop staring at me, I don't like it"

"Oh, okay."
