Here's a reframed version of your chapter, keeping the essence and flow intact:

**The Restaurant**
Ye-Dam had brought chocolates and flowers to congratulate his little sister, Chaeryeong, on her success. Just as he was about to hand them to her, an arm shot out and took the gifts.
"Oh, Taehyun, congratulations," Ye-Dam said casually.
"Thank you," Taehyun responded with a smile that looked faker than Oli London's face.
"Taehyun, give me back my chocolates, they're my favorite!" Chaeryeong demanded, her voice rising with irritation.
Taehyun gave her an offended look. "You know I can buy you a million boxes of this if I want to."
Chaeryeong stood there, stunned. After a brief pause, she whined, "But they're my favoriteee~," cooing playfully.
Meanwhile, Ye-Dam was observing the whole situation, thinking to himself, *They're not even dating yet, and this guy's already so possessive. I wonder what Jisung will do when he finds out.*
"Taehyun, give them back to her," Ye-Dam said, reaching out to take the chocolates.
But before he could grab them, Taehyun tore the box to shreds and stuffed a handful of chocolates into his mouth.
"They're my favorite too. I'll buy Chaeryeong something better than these," he mumbled, practically choking on them.
Just then, Taehyun noticed that Chaeryeong wasn't paying attention to him anymore. She was staring at her phone.
"Oppaaaa~! It's released! Finally!" she exclaimed excitedly, running over to hug Ye-Dam.
*Aish, this girl. Why is she hugging him for every little thing?* Taehyun thought, his annoyance bubbling over. *What's so important that it made her hug him?*
He snatched the phone from her hand, and his eyes widened.
**[BREAKING NEWS]**
"Ye-Dam from TREASURE and Chaeryeong from ITZY are siblings! Fans couldn't believe it at first, but now that they see the resemblance, they can't ignore it. JYP and YG Entertainment confirmed in an official statement this morning that the dating rumors are false—they're siblings, not a couple."
Taehyun started choking on the chocolates, pounding his chest as his face turned red. He gulped down a glass of water and finally managed to catch his breath.
"Oppa, are you okay? What's with your reaction?" Chaeryeong asked, concerned.
"N-nothing," he replied, struggling to keep a straight face.
Ye-Dam, on the other hand, was smirking, thoroughly enjoying Taehyun's discomfort.
**What the actual... Kang Taehyun, you just disrespected your future brother-in-law,* Taehyun thought, mentally kicking himself.
"Uhm, wow, Ye-Dam-shi, I never would've guessed... t-that you're her brother," Taehyun stammered nervously.
"Why are you suddenly using honorifics?" Ye-Dam asked, fully aware of the shift in Taehyun's tone.
"What? No! I've *always* respected you," Taehyun said, trying to play it cool but failing miserably.
"And Taehyun," Ye-Dam continued, "I'm her older brother. She consults *me* before making any big decisions." He smirked, watching as Taehyun visibly gulped.
