"That is your beautiful girlfriend", Younghoon smiled like a proud father upon spotting Haeun from a distance amongst the crowd. Her aura was too outstanding that he managed to spot her though thousands people were filling up the event space.

The older looked at his brother next to him who was not able to move, his gaze was darted only on the girl.

"Breathing Kim Sunwoo", Younghoon nudged him softly and that was when the said boy gasping, holding onto his brother's shoulder for support.

"Bro..." he whined, still gasping. "She's so beautiful. What should I do?"

An awkward laughter filling in the space, Younghoon genuinely wanted to beat the younger up for making him felt so single. 

"Do you want to die?" he attempted to throw his hand on him, but the bright smile of Kim Haeun approaching them immediately had melted out the anger. "She's coming".

"Oh my god, I almost blinded by your handsomeness", the first thing Haeun said as she stopped herself in front of the crazily good looking males, throwing the compliment specifically to the older.

It turned Sunwoo mad in jealousy, scoffing and rolling his eyes in the process. "Hello miss, your boyfriend is here".

Haeun then pondered, blinking cutely, "aren't you here for my sister?"

"Noooo!" Sunwoo emphasized sternly, feeling betrayed. It was supposed to be their date and it did not start beautifully.

"Hi my biggest fans!" it was then Harin came greeting the circle with the widest grin Sunwoo had always seen in those pictures she posted. Her beauty was incredibly distracting that the boy felt his knees buckle up. "Wanna take some pictures, Sunwoo?"

"O-Of c-course".

He did not sound hesitant at all. He obviously was living his fanboying moment when he followed Harin to a spot for some good photos taken by her manager.

"And he said, he's here not for her", Haeun expressing her disappointment though she did not really feel that. Of course she understood how it felt when you got the chance to be with your idol, everything around you would be invisible.

"You two are so cute. I hope Sunwoo will always be good to you", Younghoon was only meaning to speak up his true feeling. He wanted her to know that they would have his full support on this relationship. 

But, the changes in Haeun's eyes did not go unnoticed. It was as if she was hurt by all the kindness she had been showered yet she did not do much in return.

"He's always good..",she trailed off before shrugging, pulling up her sweetest smile to the older next. "Don't worry".

The evening event went by with mostly chattering of the guests before the runway started, fashions were being talked here and there in many languages. 

Yet here the two youngsters were, randomly talking about chicken tenders.

"I can give you anything but not the tenders!" Sunwoo sternly said, glaring at Haeun who seemed dissatisfied.

"So, I lost......against chicken tenders?"

"Yes you are".

"Sunwoo...." she whined, playfully hitting him. "I didn't mean to go on a date to be declared lost".

She sighed for what it seemed like a defeat, twirling her glass like an elegant woman in some dramas.

Sunwoo absolutely was lying if he said he did not worry to be with her in such a big event. She was too attractive with the simple style dolled on her today. Even in black skinny jeans and a leather jacket with white shirt tucked in underneath, she managed to catch many eyes and Sunwoo feel threatened.
