>>>Doubt<<<

"Sorry, had to take an impromptu dump." Soobin chuckles sheepishly as he peeks his head into the living room to see Jisu deep in thought as she bit her fingernails.

Her head snapped toward him as she shot him a disgusted look to avoid arousing suspicion. Yun-Jae had gotten up from the sofa a few minutes ago to take a walk in the park to calm down.

"I am ready to learn to talk to a real estate agent in English." Soobin grins playfully before plopping himself next to Jisu, giving her a peck on the cheek before grabbing his notebook.

"I'll write down what I want to say then you can help me translate." Soobin flipped through the pages trying to find a blank one as he clicked his pen excitedly.

Jisu turned to him mindlessly, still a bit lost with the information she obtained a few minutes ago. She was in a dilemma that she couldn't tell Soobin about. It didn't help that Soobin was the only one with her right now.

She also couldn't possibly go to Beomgyu, because he was Soobin's sibling. She knew Beomgyu wasn't the type to snitch, but she'd rather not take the chance. This is a problem she'll have to face alone.

"Can you help me translate this?" Soobin shoves the notebook in front of Jisu's face, bringing her out of her trance. She nodded her head before grabbing the notebook, skimming through the sentences before giving him the translation.

"The house seems really nice, but would the furniture be removed? We were thinking of keeping it if not." Soobin recites the first line in his clumsy pronunciation making Jisu laugh.

She ruffled her hair in a teasing manner as he looked at her with a cute pout, annoyed that she was making fun of the way he spoke in a language he was unfamiliar with.

"That was a great start, Steve." Jisu boops his nose as she cuddles closer to him. Soobin had no idea what she just said because it was in English, but he came to the conclusion she was flirting with him because there was suddenly no space between them and he had picked up his English name.

"Jisu's my girlfriend." The giggles that escaped Jisu's mouth gives Soobin so much life. Jisu nodded along, looking at Soobin proudly. She caressed his cheek lovingly and suddenly the thought of having an English lesson is thrown out the door.

"You're very tempting, Jisu-yah." Soobin laughs as he continues to study her sharp features. She smirks as she lets her hand rest on his cheek. She leans in closer, teasing Soobin as she stops just inches away from his lips.

"You're not too bad yourself, Soobin." Jisu pulls away with a playful grin, but a small gasp leaves her lips when she feels Soobin's hand grab the back of her head lightly before pulling her back in.

"Soobin, have you seen the-" Beomgyu walks into the room but freezes in shock when he sees his brother on the sofa having a makeout session. His eyes widen in surprise at the overflowing chemistry that the two seem to have.

Beomgyu feels weirdly hot even when he's not the one making out. He quickly retreats back in case things get more steamy and his poor single eyes have to witness it.

He stops in his tracks before fishing his phone out of his pocket. He quickly snapped a picture of the two before running off, laughing evilly to himself. He would so use this for blackmail.

"Yuna, have you started packing?" Jisu hums sleepily seeing Yuna enter the kitchen. Yuna purses her lips before giving a nod, slipping onto the chair opposite Jisu.

Jisu lifts her head from the table as she looks at Yuna in a troubled manner. Yuna sighs knowingly, Jisu's going to start ranting anytime soon. She can tell from the look in her eyes.

"What do I do Yuna? This is the biggest dilemma I have faced in such a long time." Jisu huffs as she looks at her fingers lazily. Her brain hurts because she's been thinking about this for way too long.

"What is it now?" Yuna hummed indifferently, taking a strawberry from Jisu's bowl. Seeing as it was sweet, she sneakily stole the bowl and began to pop them into her mouth when Jisu started her ranting.

"Just tell her what you would do with me when you're in California." Yuna shrugs as she proposes to Jisu what she could do with a strawberry in her mouth. Jisu pursed her lips as she thought about Yuna's statement.

"That's not a bad idea." Jisu hums as she leans back on her chair, biting her fingernails as she thought about it. Yuna stared at her as she munched on her strawberry, swallowing it before she spoke again.

"Just curious, but what would you do?" Yuna asked softly, making Jisu look up at her. Jisu felt a tug at her lips as she stared at the younger who averted eyes with her as she began to play with her fingers.

"I'd call you whenever I can." Jisu starts off, barely holding in her chuckles when Yuna looked at her excitedly, her eyes gleaming. Jisu melted at the adorable grin playing on Yuna's lips.

"I'd come to visit you every holiday with a bunch of souvenirs and pictures." Jisu released a laugh hearing Yuna stomp her feet excitedly, barely containing herself.

"Really?! Okay, if you're going to tell her this, you have to wear the perfect outfit!" Yuna squealed, clasping her hands together before getting out of her seat and grabbing Jisu's wrist, pulling her to her feet.

Jisu didn't have any time to protest because Yuna had started to pull her to her room. She was much more excited about this than Jisu imagined. Jisu never thought that her clothes would also come into consideration.

So here she was, sitting at the foot of her bed as Yuna rummaged through her wardrobe. Everything that didn't pass the vibe check was tossed on the floor, and Jisu sighed at the mess she would have to clean up.

"Do you know why you need to find the right clothes for this?" Yuna hums softly, staring at the pastel pink skirt in her hands. Jisu looked up at Yuna, raising an eyebrow at the sudden mood change.

"It hurts knowing that your loved one is moving somewhere else, especially if they live with you." Yuna sighs as she sits next to Jisu. Jisu offered a sad smile before rubbing Yuna's back. It's not Yuna's first time experiencing this.

"But aren't you excited to see Ryujin again? You haven't seen her in years." Jisu tries to cheer up Yuna, but Yuna's head only lowers as she chuckled softly, shaking her head.

"Ryujin doesn't live with mum, she got her own apartment. Mum complains it's because she's getting cocky because she's in the national team, but I know it's because of the fight they had before Ryujin was sent to juvie."

Jisu didn't really know much about Yuna's past, she didn't want to bring it up because it seemed like a painful memory. But just hearing little snippets like this, Jisu couldn't help but pity Yuna because of how messed up her family sounded.

"Ah, it's all dad's fault anyways." Yuna laughs in mock cheerfulness, lifting her head again as she tries to get rid of the suddenly dull atmosphere. Jisu smiles knowingly as she watches Yuna walk back to the wardrobe.

"Either way, you get a celebrity's autograph; maybe even a picture!" Jisu laughs at her own joke as Yuna shakes her head in mock disappointment. Jisu managed to catch a glimpse of the small smile playing on Yuna's lips, however.
