"Love Barrier" | Kim Mingyu

Third Person's POV

The second they got to the hospital they immediately sends him to the emergency room and thankfully Dino's injured wasn't too serious or too dangerous to be worrying about, but still, he needs to get stitches.

The boys also get their wounds treated while waiting for Dino who is still unconscious from the Anesthesia during the operation. They gathering around Dino's bed patiently in a VIP room which prepared by Joshua, the second son of the Hong family. Owning biggest hospital in Seoul.

"You look horrible." Jia referring to Mingyu who has a poker face this whole entire time with a big bandage on the forehead.

"I feel bad that this happened because of me. I didn't expect it to be this miserable." He is looking down with full of guilt in his eyes and toned.

"Dumbass, who said it was you? Remember Seungkwan said only WE and US will be allowed to use?" The 8 voice out after being the most quiet person. "But we have fun anyway."

"Of course, i look like Charlie Puth with this cut." Scoups pointing at his brow cut making everyone burst into a big laugh at his sarcastic joke. "Thanks to RM, bastard."

"I'm so jealous of you Scoups, I wish my lip cut look as cool as you too." Dk pouting, "Park Jimin should've hit me in the brow too, aishh i hate him!!"

"They might probably have their sweet dinner at the police station now."

And once again he makes them cracked up. The sounds of giggling and cursing each other for fun really do its work on pairing up Mingyu's damage heart. He was so relieved, like someone has just lift all the burden off his shoulder. It feels so light and free.

The act of Mingyu and Jia sharing eyes contact are clearly full of tenderness. He also not forget to mouthed her a 'thank you.' Which Jia gladly accepted with a smile back.

"Hoshi, how can we go home like this?" Jeonghan asked, worry to show up with this state. "Grandpa will killed us for sure."

Hoshi gasped so loud when realisations hits him. His small eyes now are wide and both hands covered up his mouth looking at Jeonghan whose expression isn't much different compared to him.

"We have a family dinner tonight too, do you remember?" Hoshi asked Jeonghan. "We will be doomed tonight Jeonghan ahh."

Jia doesn't understands, they're not siblings and their last name are different, why are they having family dinner together?

"You guys are brothers?" She asked.

"Jeonghan's father and Hoshi's mother are siblings so the two are basically cousins." Seungkwan explained. From what they say, The Halley was owned by their grandpa and due to retirement, he transferred his position to Mr Yoon (son) and Mr Kwon (son in law) who is the current principals. And long time ago when their grandma passed away, the grandpa didn't let's their parents moved out from the house even after marriage. That's why Jeonghan and Hoshi living under the same roof until now.

Not forgetting to mention that the three Lee ( Dk, Woozi and Dino ) are all distant relatives from the Lee's family who runs an Audition and Entertainment companies.

But what blew Jia's mind even more is the fact that Mingyu's sister and Scoups's brother are married.
"It was an arranged marriage but now they can't be apart for even 5 minutes. It annoys me so much." Scoups roll back his eyes which gets a slapped on the neck by Mingyu.

"Stop badmouthing my sister."

"She's my sister-in-law too." Scoups takes his revenge and slap Mingyu back at the spot he hits him earlier.

Thinking deeply, it was a common sense that their thread of family trees are attached to each others. Because they are all from high profile families so the needs of making the connection linked or tied up between each family is to paired up their children together, also it's a way of them seeking and gaining more powers and fame in the society. Most of big businesses and top positions in Korea's government are occupied by their family and most student's parents from The Halley too.

'This is an insanely abnormal school ever existed.' Jia thinking to herself.

At the Baek's residence.

For the first time Jia coming home so late since she's back from the states. She didn't answer the calls from her father too because for sure he will asked her where she was and who she's with this late, a better decision is to explain tomorrow when he cool down.

Jia try to walk with her toes slow and quiet to not cause any noise, even light is off. Unfortunately, her dad is already waiting for her on the dining table with a glass of wine in his hand. Jia is froze at the spot seeing him still up at this hours during midnight.

"I got a call from the police station this evening." It was the first thing he said. "They said they saw my car in an unlawful act of teenagers fight." He keeps swirling his glass of wine and now taking a sip.

It wasn't a question but it makes her feel the need to tell him about what happened but she doesn't know where to start from.

"How is his injury?"

"Who? Dino?" Jia is bewildered, she doesn't know who's he referring too. "He's fine dad."

Mr Baek just nodded and again take another sip from his glass. What he asked her is an indirect way of informing her that everything she did are all under his sight and control.  "I'm sorry—...." She said with fears, she has never seen her father this scary before.

"Sorry is only for people who aware of their wrong actions but you can't even tell me what you did." He continued, "now seeing that you're still dense i will tell you. Your stupidity can cause a serious downfall to our company any time Baek Jia." His voice is sternly strong.

"I wasn't at the scene, dad." She try to give an explanation but he seems to get more furious. "I was just helping my friends from getting beaten—."

He cut her off midway, he couldn't stand hearing it anymore. "That's why i said you're a fool. You were not seen but the car was, and who?" He asked angrily, "Me, it's me. It's under my name, Baek Boem Seok chairman of BJ group!! And Jeon Jungkook is the youngest son of Korean boss mafia, Jeon Cheolsan!!"

Jia is stunned by the information she just heard, she made the biggest mistake ever and the greatest weakness for her father and the company too. She's so scared and mad at herself at the same time. "What should we do dad?"  She asked in a shaky voice.

"What im worry about is not the police, they're nothing. But about Jeon Cheolsan, he will go crazy for what you did to his son." Mr Baek takes some time to think while hand still swirling the glass. "I will find a way to talk to him. Now go to sleep and school will be attended like normal."

Jia nod her head taking every words seriously not like the others time that she always object to any of his orders just to makes him mad. But this time is different, a completely different.
