Nari's POV:

"No, I will not hear it, don't argue with me Young-sook." My dad orders.

There he goes again, deciding what's 'best' for me again. I mean his is my dad. I didn't walk out of the dining room like I  usually do. Only because I didn't want my mom was in the room. And honestly I was tired of avoiding my dads orders just for him to see.

I mean what is the difference anyways.

I see Jeno taking a glance at me. I look up at him and he's still looking at me. And now we're just starting at each other. I gave like a 'what are you looking at?' Kind of look, and he just stared at me longer and I finally get it, he was trying to humiliate me again.

I just continue giving him a weird look and he didn't get the message. He rolled his eyes and looks back at me and mouths "Are you okay?" My face softens, I don't know how to respond so I just gave him a small nod. But he's still worried about me.

His attention turns to Jaehyun they have a conversation about... honestly I don't remember. Then Sungchan butted in and I was just listening but not listening.

Everything was passing from one ear to another.

Dinner was over, my parents told my brothers and I to escort Jeno out. Again, I'm just fourth wheeling over there, just zoning out. "I expect to see you tomorrow Jeno." Jaehyun oppa says to Jeno. "You bet hyung!" They both bid their goodbyes and Jaehyun oppa leaves me and Sungchan.

"Sungchan ah!" Jeno gives him a hug. "We got a lot to do." Sungchan says. "Yep!" The hug again, "I'll leave you and Noona alone. I'm assuming you wanna say good bye to her last. Bye hyung!" They both bid their goodbyes. Leaving Jeno and I alone. I didn't know that it was just the two of us left when he touches my shoulder lightly.

"Hey Nari-"

I flinched a bit then I looked back at him, it's surprises me that he is still here. "Oh? You're still here?" I looks at me as if I'm dumb "Well obviously I'm your bodyguard. I'm trying to do my job here." I scoff at him using that excuse again. " Oh wow! So this is how you act after you get the paycheck? Well according to my mother, you were treated as a guest here. So I have to shoo you out." I walk by the door but he walks faster and gets a head of me. And instead he just blocks the door.

"Right now, I'm your bodyguard." He stated. I roll my eyes groan  "Are you committed to the whole like multi persona bit? Because everytime you talk to me, I forget which one am I really talking to. Is it Jeno the dude who stole credit for my homework? Or is it Jeno the my dad and my older brother constantly compare me to? Is it the Jeno the bodyguard I'm talking to?"

"Okay you can't just say that." He stands there in shock. "Yeah whatever." And I just shrug at him proceeding to turn back at him walking away. He grabs a grip of my worst before I even do so. "Jeno-".

"I just wanna know something?" I didn't want to hear him but yet I was there not pushing him away, silent waiting for his next words. "Are you sure you will be okay with out me?" He takes both of me hands to his then holds them, as he ask that question.

Why the hell is he doing this?

This isn't professional at all.

And yet I didn't let go

"Why would I not be okay without you" I laugh trying to hide from my flusteredness . Not that it was obvious, but this little gesture made my heart leaped a bit.  "You know it's like before this whole thing. I didn't rely on you. Not like I did, but like you didn't had to be worried about me. And plus it's just one day, you don't have to think much about it. It's not like I'm gonna die without you... I guess-
I'm gonna be fine! What the hell!  "
