For context: Koreans usually only use the terms hyung/oppa and noona/unnie when addressing someone they're close to. The more formal term would be to call them "sunbae".

One Direction - Night Changes

...

"So, Taehyun, how would you like to audition for the band?"

Taehyun's eyes immediately widen at the sudden question. But as he eyes Heeseung, the latter giving him a strange look despite his smile, he knows he really doesn't have a choice. This must be his punishment for kissing Heeseung's sister, after all.

"Uh, yeah... Sure, I guess," he responds with his hand on his nape, and in response to that, Heeseung quickly places his arm around the former's neck in excitement.

Heejin, however, doesn't seem so amised. "Wait, so this is what you called him here for?"

Heeseung then turns back to her, and the other members of the band look towards her as well in confusion. "Yeah... Why? Is there a problem?" Heeseung asks cluelessly.

And Heejin furrows her brows in response. "Oppa, think about it. So you're asking Taehyun to join the band and if he does get in, what do you think's gonna happen? He's already in a lot of danger; isn't he gonne be getting into more of that by getting exposed as a member of the band? You know, it's a good thing half the school population still don't know what he looks like, otherwise we probably would have never gotten here at all." She explains, frowning the whole time as she spoke. Heeseung listened all the while, but he didn't seem to have any thoughts of changing his mind. And it showed...

Because he soon smiled at the girl, as if he had something planned.

Removing his arm around Taehyun and soon approaching Heejin to pat her head, he ends up confusing the girl as she frowns at him. But that soon changes when he speaks. "Did you really think I didn't think this over?"

Heejin's brows rise in response. "What...? What do you mean?"

"So let's say Taehyun gets a proper position in the band and he gets exposed to the school. Not only that, they won't just be seeing him... they'll be seeing him working with me. You said half the school is still against him, right? What do you think they'll think when they see me, your brother, working with your so-called lying boyfriend?" Heeseung explains, looking quite proud of the plan he had made. "Also, there's no way I'm just letting this kid leave my sight anymore. Who knows what other crazy stuff you two would do without my supervision??!!"

Truth be told, of course, Heeseung would get overprotective with hus sister after what had happened. And so, when it started to look like Heejin was becoming convinced, Heeseung was already feeling glad about everything going well.

"Alright, fine," the girl finally replied, and Heeseung flashes her his cheeky smile before he leads Taehyun to the band.

"Alright! So, could you tell us what song you know how to sing?"

"Wait, he's going to sing? Shouldn't you check what other things he's capable of?" Heejin quickly asks, once again questioning her brother.

But Heeseung soon gives another good reply. "Oh, trust me. I know when someone's capable of something... Also it was in his student resume."

"...Huh."

Meanwhile, Taehyun had already been pushed towards the band when he suddenly feels nervous facing them, despite them all trying to look friendly and welcoming. And then Heeseung joins in to his nervousness by suddenly placing his arm around him.
