Flashback (the night when the fight happened)

Wheein's POV: 

What....I mean, I know why she got all worked up but seriously? SHe didn't had to take this talk so far...Moonbyul unnie left and Yongsun unnie followed her. 

Hyejin sighed and sat on the couch. I bid Irene unnie bye and locked the door. 

She hid her face in her hands. 
I sat beside her and rubbed her back. She turned to me and pulled me in a hug. Not after too long I felt my shirt wet, she started crying. I just held her and pat her head. 

"Babe...what happened? Tell me" I whispered. 

"Can we go home first?" She asked 

"Ofcourse, come on, let's go home" I said and held her hand and stood up. I took both of our belongings and we went to the car. 

I opened the door for her and sat in the driver's seat. She was quiet the whole ride. She just looked outside and zoned out. I let her be. We reached, but she didn't move. I got out and went towards her side.  After going in I followed her to our bedroom. 

I kept our bags on the stand and looked behind, she was staring outside the window.

"Look, I am not going to sign that piece of paper" She blurted out.

"That's your choice, let's keep that aside, the matter is what you said" I told her

"I spoke the truth, I don't take my words back" she said without looking at me

"Oh come on! What are we? freakin 12? I know you didn't mean it, now tell me what led you to say those things" I went towards her and made her face me.

"So you think I am wrong too?" She said and some tears formed in her eyes. 

"Shh, you're not gonna cry, and yes, I don't know what your reason was but what you said, I cannot imagine how hurt Byul unnie must be feeling" I had to tell her what she did was wrong

"No one cares about how I feel! You are also taking Byul unnie's side!" She said and started crying. 

"Heyy! No babe....please stop crying" I tried to wipe her tears but she slapped my hands away. 

"Don't!" 

I tried to comfort her but she moved away and went towards our bed and picked up our covers and a pillow and threw it outside in the living room. 

"Please go out! I want to sleep alone" She came to me and said

"What?! Listen, you tell me what's happening otherwise I won't understand right? Why do you want to be alone when I am there for you?" I tried to console her.

" I AM SORRY! BUT I WANT TO SLEEP FREAKING ALONE SO YOU PLEASE LEAVE THE ROOM! FOR ONCE LISTEN TO ME!" I flinched when she shouted on me. Wow! Is she serious? 

Fine....I know there's something behind all of her behavior. I'll give her space if she wants...
I sighed and gave her a short smile and left closing the door behind me. 

I went in the living room, picked up the covers and pillow and settled on the couch. 
This one is gonna last long I guess.

Hyejin's POV:

I laid on my bed, and cried. After a while, I realized that Wheein was just trying to console me, I shouldn't have shouted on her like that. I even made her sleep on the couch. I am such a bad girlfriend. 

I decided to take a sneak peak at her. Her top was lying on the table, she was sleeping with her undergarments only. The thin sheets covered her lower body. She must be feeling hot here, I didn't even let her change into comfortable clothes. 

I stood behind the pillar, looking at her. I was feeling guilty. I went near her, I pulled the sheets from her and decided to carry her inside. I put my hands under her legs and her neck and lifted her. 

"hngg" She groaned but didn't wake up from the sleep. I carried her inside and placed her gently on the bed. 

She shifted a bit. I changed into my PJs and laid down beside her. I looked at her and planted a soft kiss on her forehead. 

"Sorry Wheein-ah, I am feeling so guilty and it's like I wish I could just disappear" I whispered to her while adoring her cute face. she was sleeping so peacefully, it made me smile.

"You know...
Appa...
he's been forcing me and hammering me about how we 4 take care of each other and live together most of the time. He says I am nothing and I live off Unnie's Money....Can you believe?" I continued whispering. Tears formed in my eyes but I managed to control. 

"He's been brainwashing me about how I am depended on you all. He says I work in Byulie Unnie's company but I don't have any properties, but the truth is that you know too how wealthy you and me are" I talked as if she was listening to me.

"He keeps on saying that ask Byul unnie for more shares, more properties, take 'advantage' of her, she pities you' these are his words, can't believe right?" I sighed

"And all this was happening, I know I told you that something was going on between me and my father but I didn't tell you what it was, and then this happened, she really gave the properties! My father had brainwashed me so I thought she's doing this out of pity, then my mind went all crazy. Not able to digest that what my father said might be true, I started shouting and saying things to hurt her, to demean her." I said. 

"I still won't change my answer tho, I think she looks out of pity on us, on me" I said sternly.

"I am sorry love, I took it on you. I behaved like a bitch and shouted on you and made you sleep outside on that couch. Please forgive me, I don't think I can handle if you too won't be on my side." I said and a tear escaped me eyes. I pecked her very gently.

"About un-" I was about to speak more but then I freezed at my spot as I thought that I woke her up. She twisted and swinged her arm around me and pulled me closer to her and held me tight. She was the big spoon. We were cuddling. Thank god! I thought she was awake. I let out a silent chuckle at her behavior. so this is why when I wake up our positions are changed. 

I smiled and rested my head on her chest and drifted to sleep.
