STAR-CROSSED LOVERS

Chapter XI

"Is noona back yet ma?" Taehyung questioned his mom stepping out of his polished black shoes.

"Why?" His mom raised an eyebrow at him, suspicious of his new concern about Eunae, taking the coat from his hand.

"Nothing really." He removed his tie with his eyes wandering in a hope to see the lady he asked for.

"Just wanted to know if Chacha arrived home safely." His concern grew up as the time ticked by and his mind feared for any mishaps for she kept rubbing on her head, informed him Jhope.

"Aish! My brain." He facepalmed for he knew it was his overthinking brain actively working that moment. "Ma just tell me if Chacha came home or not" He frowned with a pout.

"Right here TaeTae." A hoarse lady voice whispered in his ears announcing her arrival totally startling him.

"Dang it! Noona!!" He whined holding onto his dear chest while the ladies laughed at him. "Enough fooling around you two. Go wash up first." Taehyung's mom playfully smacked the two on their heads, which made Eunae yelp in pain.

"Eomma! Why did you hit her there?" Taehyung frowned as he hurried beside his sister and began softly rubbing her head.

"I didn't hit that hard though." Mrs Kim mumbled doubting herself if she really hit her neice harshly.

"Imo, it's fine! I happened to have my head hurt during the day and the spot you hit is the parrot's eye." Eunae softly chuckled letting Taehyung do the healing while his mom glared at him.

"No imo! It wasn't his doing. You do know how clumsy I am right." Eunae flashed a cheeky smile at her aunt and successfully rescuing her little brother from his mom's temper.

"Alright, go wash up and take some rest. I'll call you by when the dinner is ready." Mrs Kim informed before she rushed to the kitchen to prevent her food from being overcooked.

"By the way, Taehyung-ah. Why did you act abruptly cold and kept saying no, which is so out of line from our plan, when Yena arrived?" Eunae sat on his bed, drying her wet hair with a towel.

"Ah that was because she was way too obvious that she has a thing for me." Taehyung placed his mobile on the nearby stand and threw his lazy body on the soft fluffy bed, beside his sister.

"Now isn't that an awesome thing to me?" Eunae looked at him smirking and raised her eyebrows giving him a naughty cunning look. "Don't you dare use me for your mission Chacha!" Taehyung warned her.

"Fine fine. Alright. But still why don't you give her a try? She might be your type you know?" Eunae shrugged combing her moderately dried hair with her fingers.

"Seriously? What vengeance do you even hold against her for you keep targeting boys on her? First it was Jimin and now it's me?" Taehyung raised an eyebrow at her.

"Nah bro, I was just genuinely telling you to see if she's your type." The lady smiled, her fingers continuing to comb her wet frizzy hair.

"And talking about Jimin, I doubt if he will hit on her and neither do I want that." She mumbled and a heavy sigh followed by.

"Why?" The boy sat up, intrigued by his sister's words and her expression. "I don't know. Even though she's the girl of my suspect and target, I just can't think her as a villain." Eunae's hands came to a halt slowly, while her eyes stared the wall with her mind rewinding their encounter early that day.
