After class, I go out only to find my brother standing at the stairs.
"Soo, your coming? " I look at him, questioning his question.
" Coming where? " I asked him. He walked up to me and stood by my said,
" Your not going home, your moving in with me." I looked at him in confusion. Moving in? With him? In a house full of boys? " No." I responded. "Why should I?" I asked him. He responded without even hesitating
"you'll be in danger soo, you're moving in today. Your clothes are taken care of so just come. Okay?"
I was confused. But he walked away after he finished talking.
" I'm not moving in with you!" I screamed across and walked away from there without turning back.
Suddenly someone grabbed me and pulled me into a hug and turned around from the direction I was walking in. I pulled back while still in the person's arms only to find out that someone tried to injure me, and the person tried to protect me. "You okay?" He asked. I look up and my cheeks flush into a cherry red.
Mingyu.
"Yea, I'm okay. But are you okay? Mingyu you're bleeding. He's cut you" you look at his arm and look back at his face. A smug forms on his face and he says " princess, this is nothing. I've seen worse"
Princess?
"But still." I tried saying confidentially but ended up stuttering.
"Wait here." I pulled back from his arms and turned back to go get some medicine but I got pulled back in. I heard my heart beat so loud.
" I told it, it's fine. Listen to your brother." He whispered into my ears and looked at me. "Understood?" He looked deeper into me. I nodded my head but my body froze.
Mingyu.
My brother's friend, I've known him since my brother started uni. He comes over with Soonyoung alot. And he's a very attractive man.
But this, this interaction. Made me feel something again.
I stood there and there came a bike and stopped infront of me. I turned to look at the boy on the bike. He removed his helmet revealing his blond shiny hair.
"Myungho?" I looked at him and let out a small sound of confusion.
" Get on, we're going to Hoshi's." He said and smiled at me offering a helmet. I hesitated at first, but then I decided to take the offer not knowing how else to reach my brother as he already left.
I struggled to put it on as I've never done this before. And I guess I was too obvious
A pair of hands travel to face " let me do it." And he buckles up the helmet. I looked up to see his concentrated face. "Thanks." I said.
"Hold on to me tight, it's quite fast you know?" He said. " Too fast?" I asked him with a small hint of fear in my voice.
"Very fast" he replied. And all of a sudden it was like we were floating. I held on the his waist tightly and closed my eyes. And in a matter of 2 minutes we stopped.
" We're here" said Myungho. I let go of his waist and got off the bike. His waist was so small and yet perfect for him.
I turned around to see a big house yet simply made " my brother lives here?" I asked him.
"Tsk tsk tsk, correction. We all live here" he said and walked towards the door.
______________
You were sitting on the couch and you saw many unfamiliar faces other than Bada, who was watching television; Joshua, also my brother's friend, in the kitchen.
Soonyeong comes up to me "where's Mingyu?" I looked up at him in confusion "I don't know, was he supposed to come with me?" I asked him. He looked at me and said "No, you're supposed to come with him. But I guess eight gave u a ride." I realised why he was around me. He had to bring me here.
"Anyways, welcome my house Ada!" I looked at the spacious yet simply decorated house "not yours Hoshi, it's ours. Welcome Ada." Said Joshua with a calm and pleasent voice.
"Hey Joshua, long time no see" I say while smiling at him.
"Yea" he responds while being interrupted by the continuous ringing of the doorbell.
" That's Mingyu isn't it..." I looked at my brother realising that I might have made mingyu mad.
"We'll find out now." He opens the door revealing the tall boy at the door, leaning on the door frame.
I looked at him and him a bitter smile
" Sorry..." I whispered as he walked into the living room. Now everyone was quite. "Well, Ada. This is Scoups. And this is Jeonghan. " Said Hoshi breaking the awkward silence. I looked at the unfamiliar men and smiled at them as they smiled back. But one caught my eye.
Jeonghan.
His smile being sly and yet looking like a complete angel. His long black hair fell on his face, making him look more innocent than he already looks.

We ate our food and sat in the living room. Each person minding their own business, except for someone. I felt his sharp glare and his eyes not moving away from me. It made me uncomfortable, even tho it wasn't an inappropriate stare. I couldn't just take it. But I was scared too look at him.
I felt tired too, I wanted to hit the sheets but I didn't expect myself to feel comfortable at this new place. "Hoshi" I called for my brother. He responded with a hum. "Where am I gonna sleep?" I asked him.
"Oh yea I almost forgot about that. Come" he gets up from his seat and I follow him up the stairs. He leads me into a room. The very last room in the hallway. And opens the door revealing a clean and well maintained bedroom
"Here, this is your room!" He says and walks away "wait Soon" I called him back making him stop and turn back. He looked at me " can we talk?" I asked him directing him to come inside my assigned room. He nodded his head and walked in and I close the door.
" Soonyeong I don't know bout me staying here." I told him after hesitating.
He looked up at me with a concerned face and smiled while replying "see I get that you don't like it. But it's for your safety. Please. People now know that you're my sister, the person I cherish the most" his voice cracked. I felt the emotion in that sentence. Even tho it would mean nothing without the last line.
"I'd kill myself if I loose you" he says and I saw him there. He was holding back.
"Why? Why would you loose me? What are you some mafia or a gan-" I asked him but I was interrupted by " you'll know everything slowly. Just listen to me. Have I ever asked you for that?"
Fell a tear.
" Soonyeong..." I hugged him tightly. After years, I'm seeing my brother loose a tear.
I knew this meant something big .
"I'll listen. I'll stay. Don't cry. You know I'll cry too" I said while my voice cracked.
He hugged me tighter. " I won't, don't cry Soo. I'll loose it"
I pulled back and made him look at my face ensuring him that I'm not crying. He smiled at me.
" Sleep well. We have class tomorrow. Good night Sooha" I smiled at him as I layed my life in his hands. Whether he knew it or not.
" Good night Soonyeong. Sweet dreams." He walked out and slowly closed the door.
I trusted him. And he asked me to trust all his friends.
Trust takes years to build, seconds to break and forever to repair.
But it took me second to trust these men. Let's see how they take care of it.
