"Hey Yej... It's me"
.
.
.
.
.
"Oh? Need anything today Jeong? PD-nim is out right now though"Yeji replies as she turns around
.
.
.
.
.
"No... Uhm... I didn't really need to talk to PD-nim... I came over to talk to you"Winter replied, Yeji furrowed her eyebrows
.
.
.
.
.
"What's it about?"Yeji asked, she looks at Winter who avoids her gaze
.
.
.
.
.
"Do you happen to know... Models... Named Lia and... Somi?"Winter asked and Yeji instantly knew who she was referring to
.
.
.
.
.
"Yeah, they're from our US branch... Why? Did you suddenly take interest in modelling? Jeong you're too short for that"Yeji replied and Winter frowns, finally looking at her
.
.
.
.
.
"I'm just kidding! Why did you suddenly ask about them?"Yeji asked and Winter sat down next to her, her face slumped into the table
.
.
.
.
.
"I met them yesterday at a restaurant... They looked familiar so I thought I'd ask you"Winter replied
.
.
.
.
.
"At a restaurant? With whom? And which restaurant? And yeah well duh they'd look familiar they've been here at the company before"Yeji asked
.
.
.
.
.
"The restaurant near the bridge"Winter replied and Yeji nodded before suddenly standing up
.
.
.
.
.
"Near the bridge?! That's Lia's restaurant! She's here?"Yeji asked frantically and Winter bumps her chin onto the desk upon getting startled
.
.
.
.
.
"Ow... Yeah? Did you... Not know? I thought you knew because you answered so confidently... Wait a minute... Did you just say that it was her restaurant?"Winter asked and Yeji nodded
.
.
.
.
.
"God those women never informed me that they're already back... Come with me"Yeji says and suddenly pulls Winter
.
.
.
.
.
Winter's eyes widened and she tries to pry Yeji's hand away but to no avail
.
.
.
.
.
"Wait! Yej! Where are we going? Don't just suddenly pull me!"Winter argues but Yeji just kept pulling her until they reached the parking lot
.
.
.
.
.
"You're coming with me, we're picking up Somi and Lia"

"Was this why you looked so uneasy when you were here with your—" Lia gets cut off by Winter who hurriedly covers her mouth despite not being all that close
.
.
.
.
.
"Haha... What a coincidence right?" Winter tries to play it off but it doesn't go unnoticed by Yeji who furrowed her eyebrows at her
.
.
.
.
.
"Winter... What the hell are you hiding from me?" Yeji asked and Winter chuckled nervously before putting her hands down, not knowing where to start
.
.
.
.
.
"Unnie remember the girl that I keep mentioning to you? The roommate that I fell inlove with?" Somi says and Yeji turns to her
.
.
.
.
.
"Yeah what about it?... Don't tell me... Did you finally get together with her?" Yeji asked excitedly to which Winter frowned as she knew exactly what Somi was talking about as she knew Karina and Somi had met in the states and it was most likely Karina that Somi was talking about
.
.
.
.
.
"What? No! That girl was this girl's ex!" Somi exclaims and points at Winter, Yeji chokes on air as she stared at Winter who rubbed her nape
.
.
.
.
.
"You know her... She's Ryujin's sister... It's Karina..." Winter replied and Yeji's mouth gaped open at the revelation, she knew Karina ofcourse as Karina was always the person she runs to whenever she and Ryujin gets into an argument or just when she needed someone to talk to, afterall Karina was her suitor's sister so ofcourse they eventually got to meet and get closer but Yeji definitely didn't expect this kind of revelation
.
.
.
.
.
"Ah! It's that girl that broke up with you and went away for years! It was Karina!?" Yeji asked and Winter nods, Yeji sits down from shock as she remained staring at Winter
.
.
.
.
.
"Wait... How do you know Ryujin?" Yeji asked and Winter grimaced as she remembered why she knew Ryujin
.
.
.
.
.
"Uhm... When I kept going to their house after Karina and I broke up... She... Broke my arm because she said they were getting annoyed of my visit everyday despite having already broken up with her sister" Winter explained and Yeji facepalms as it was definitely a very "Ryujin Approach"
.
.
.
.
.
"Though their brother also almost broke my arm but yeah... Ryujin fully broke it" Winter added and Yeji sighed, Winter knew Ryujin was courting Yeji as she'd always see the girl in their lobby and she deliberately avoided her everytime because she knew Ryujin would immediately recognize her
.
.
.
.
.
"Let's save this for later... Let's go to the company"

"Oh? Unnie I didn't know you were here too, what are you doing here?" Ryujin asks as she comes closer to her sister, She had travelled to the place where Yeji worked and accidentally met Karina who was coincidentally called by Winter to come over because she had told Yeji about them
.
.
.
.
.
"Hm?... I... I j-just came by... Since you k-know? I did t-that show last time" Karina replied and Ryujin nods her head
.
.
.
.
.
"Well wanna come and get lunch? I'm about to ask Yeji out, come eat with us" Ryujin says as she clings onto her sister's arm, Karina chuckles nervously and suddenly Yeji comes running out, Lia chasing after her
.
.
.
.
.
"Yah! Come back! Just a peck Yej!" Lia exclaimed and Somi comes out as well, laughing her ass off before seeing Karina
.
.
.
.
.
"Oh? Karina—"
.
.
.
.
.
"Yah! Yu Ryujin!" Karina exclaims as Ryujin marches towards Lia who had caught Yeji in her arms, upon hearing the name Yeji immediately froze and looked behind them
.
.
.
.
.
"Wait! Ryujin!" Yeji yells but Ryujin pulls Lia away, she grabs Lia's collar which immediately shocks the girl, trying to pry Ryujin's hands away
.
.
.
.
.
"What the hell are you doing!? Who are you? Security!" Lia yelled and Karina rushed over to pull Ryujin away
.
.
.
.
.
"What the hell is wrong with you!? Oh?... Aren't you Somi's friend?" Lia asked as she sees Karina, Karina apologetically smiles
.
.
.
.
.
"Who is this bitch!?" Ryujin yells out and Lia gasps, annoyed and shocked at the namecalling
.
.
.
.
.
"She's my model Ryujin! She's part of my team that I manage!" Yeji angrily yells and Ryujin stiffens in her sister's hold
.
.
.
.
.
"Yu Ryujin... We're gonna have quite the discussion with Halmeoni when we get home" Karina smiles at Ryujin who stutters to make even a sentence come out of her mouth
.
.
.
.
.
"Hmm? Don't think I'll let your little cuss slide" Karina sadistically grips on Ryujin's arm tighter which makes the girl wince in pain
.
.
.
.
.
"Ahh! Unnie! I was wrong! You'll break my arm! Ouch! Ow! Ow!" Ryujin exclaims in pain as Karina apologizes to Yeji and Lia, bowing her head before dragging Ryujin away who could only squirm and yell in her sister's arms
.
.
.
.
.
"Oh yeah that reminds me... Karina has a Black belt in Taekwondo" Yeji mutters and Lia grimaces
.
.
.
.
.
"I kinda feel bad... Who was that girl anyway? Her sister? Why did she get mad at me?" Lia asked and Yeji rubs her nape
.
.
.
.
.
"She's... My Suitor" Yeji replies and Somi's eyes widened
.
.
.
.
.
"Sorry I'm late I had to fix my stuff— oh?" Winter stops as she looks at the three who turn to her
.
.
.
.
.
"Uhh... Have you seen Karina?"

The Yu siblings watched as Ryujin held her arms up, kneeling on a bed of salt that wad prepared by their grandmother. They could only pity her as their grandmother slapped her arm with a ladle as they were drooping down
.
.
.
.
.
"What exactly happened?" Tiffany asked and they turn to Karina who was non-chalant about the matter
.
.
.
.
.
"She pulled a girl, held her by the collar and called her a bitch" Karina explained simply and Yoongi immediately grabs a bat, Jaehyun stops him and Jessica blocks the door to prevent him from entering
.
.
.
.
.
"Why did she do that? She's not one to suddenly do that, specially to girls" Yoongi asked and Karina sighs
.
.
.
.
.
"The girl was one of Yeji's models in her team... I think they were joking around and Lia was trying to playfully kiss Yeji but Ryujin immediately stormed towards them and held Lia" Karina explained and Yoongi puts the bat down
.
.
.
.
.
"So that Lia girl was just joking right?"Krystal asked and Karina nodded
.
.
.
.
.
"Sucks to be Ryujin unnie... Hopefully her knees still work after this"Yuna says and they could only pray as they couldn't do anything about it
.
.
.
.
.
"Karina, your phone's ringing" Jeongyeon points out and Karina grabs her phone from the table before going into her room
.
.
.
.
.
"Did that... Didn't that say 'Jagi' on the caller ID?" Kyungsoo points out and they all look at him
.
.
.
.
.
"Don't you have bad eyesight?" Tiffany asked and Kyungsoo point at his glasses
.
.
.
.
.
"I'm wearing glasses right now? With glasses on I can basically see everything" Kyungsoo replies and Krystal looks at Jessica before they both ran to Karina's door, their siblings immediately followed as they sticked their ears right on Karina's door
.
.
.
.
.
"It's alright no worries... I also had to leave early since Ryujin caused a ruckus... Please tell Yeji that I'm really sorry about that" They heard Karina say and they were about to put it off
.
.
.
.
.
"Then... Let's move it to tomorrow? I'll pick you up... Alright... Bye... I love you too"
.
.
.
.
.
Karina's door bursts open and Karina exclaims in shock, dropping her phone as she looks at her siblings who had gathered on her door
.
.
.
.
.
"Hello? Karina? Are you okay? Did something happen? Hey?" Winter asked through the call and Karina's eyes widened as she accidentally putted it on speaker phone upon getting startled, she tries to grab it but Jaehyun gets ahead of her
.
.
.
.
.
"Who the hell are you?" Jaehyun asked as their other siblings tried to stop Karina
.
.
.
.
.
"I should be asking you, who are you? Why do you have Karina's phone?" Winter asked and Yoongi furrows his eyebrows at her response
.
.
.
.
.
"I'm her brother, who the hell are you to—"
.
.
.
.
.
Jaehyun plops to the ground as Karina throws a kick, her right foot landing straight onto Jaehyun's stomach, sending him flying into the wall. Yoongi looks at Karina in shock but he gets even more shocked as he sees all of their siblings laying on the ground clutching different parts of their bodies
.
.
.
.
.
"W-woah! Calm d-down Rina" Yoongi calms her down and Karina looks at him, he immediately takes a step back and Karina picks up her phone
.
.
.
.
.
"I'll call you back" Karina says and drops the call without waiting for an answer. Their grandmother rushes to her room and looks at the scene infront of her... Her grandchildren all on the ground wincing in pain as Karina stood calmly in the doorway, Jaehyun still laying on the floor and Yoongi keeping a distance between him and Karina

They all sat at the rooftop of their apartment, not daring to talk to each other
.
.
.
.
.
"You'll stay here for an hour and think about what you have done! You're all grown ups! Yet you all act so childishly!" Their grandmother yells and they all flinch at her loud voice
.
.
.
.
.
"B-but grandma... I-it's cold..." Yuna whines
.
.
.
.
.
"I don't care, stay there for an hour, endure the cold if you can't, then you're free to sleep outside tonight" Their grandmother replies before shutting the door on them, leaving them all shivering in their seats
.
.
.
.
.
"I can't believe we got put on time out..." Kyungsoo says swipes Jaehyun's hands away as he tried to hug him
.
.
.
.
.
"Ah hyung! I'm cold! Just this once!" Jaehyun says and Kyungsoo sighs before letting Jaehyun hug him, Jessica clings onto Tiffany while Krystal shares a jacket with Yoongi, Yuna and Ryujin hugged each other, Jeongyeon hugs Karina who sighs
.
.
.
.
.
"I'm sorry unnie..." Karina says and hugs Jeongyeon who smiles at her
.
.
.
.
.
"It's alright... Care to tell us who that 'Jagi' of yours is?" Jeongyeon teased and their siblings immediately turned their heads towards Karina
.
.
.
.
.
"I'll... Introduce her to you guys soon... I wasn't really planning on hiding it but... We're still just dating now so I didn't think it would be a big deal" Karina explained
.
.
.
.
.
"But still you should've told us, this is the first time we've heard of you dating again after all those years so we immediately got intrigued" Tiffany said and Karina smiled apologetically
.
.
.
.
.
"Was it Jungkook's sister?" Yoongi asked and Karina immediately shakes her head
.
.
.
.
.
"Ah! Does she work with Yeji? You were at their company before I arrived!" Ryujin pointed out and now the siblings were more intrigued on who might be the mystery girl that their sister was dating
.
.
.
.
.
"She does... I told you guys I'll introduce her to you but not now! We're still just dating, we're still seeing if we're gonna be in a relationship or not" Karina exclaims and her siblings pout at her words
.
.
.
.
.
"Says the girl who said 'I love you' through the call" Jessica said and Karina turns red before rolling her eyes
.
.
.
.
.
"Leave me alone... This is the only time I've thought of dating and you guys are questioning it? Should I just not date for the rest of my life?" Karina asked and her siblings immediately gasped
.
.
.
.
.
"Yah that's not what we meant, we're just worried since we saw you at your lowest when you dated before and that was your first and only relationship, ofcourse we'd be worried now that you're dating someone because you might get hurt again" Kyungsoo replied and Karina sighs
.
.
.
.
.
"Trust me, alright? I promise I'll introduce her to you guys but not right now" Karina said and her siblings nod before they all hug each other again
.
.
.
.
.
"Now we wait until the hour is over and pray that we don't get hypothermia..."
