"Oh my gosh! What happened?" Jongseob asked as he opened the door for his sister and Jiung friend.

"These annoying guys wouldn't leave her alone!" Jiung huffed, carefully letting go of Daeun's shoulder.

Jiung continued, "Do you guys have any first-aid items?"

The injured girl nodded, "Yeah. They're in the cabinet closest to the TV."

The helpful boy nodded and headed to the cabinet. Meanwhile, Jongseob sat next to his sister.

"Who the heck hurt you? And why?"

"Seojun." Daeun replied shortly.

"What the hell is his problem? He's been like a leech from the start!" The younger exclaimed.

"Language, Seob."

Jongseob scratched the top of his head, "Oops, sorry."

At that moment, Jiung came back to the two. 

He kneeled before Daeun, "Do you mind moving your sleeve a bit? So I can clean and protect your wound?"

The hurt girl hesitantly moved the hole of her crew-neck to make Jiung's job easier.

"Who even is that Seojun guy to you guys? And why is he obsessed with Eun?" The orange-head asked, disinfecting his friends injury.

Jongseob cooed, "Aww, he gave you a nickname."

"Oh, shut up." Daeun unknowingly blushed before answering Jiung's question, "He actually is uhm..." She was reluctant in continuing, "My ex?"

Jiung stopped moving in shock, "You used to date that prick? He seems like a lousy excuse of a boyfriend." 

"He was. But I didn't date him because I actually liked him." Daeun stopped speaking, making her sentence sound weird.

"So you used him? Woah... I didn't know you were like that..." He trailed off,  continuing to plaster up her sore spot.

"Wait.. It's not like that I swear! I meant that we were forced to date." She spoke.

"Oh.. But who forced you guys to date? And why?" Jiung questioned, wanting to know more.

"I think we should eat something! I'm really getting hungry." Jongseob chimed in before anymore information could get revealed.

"I-I agree." Daeun softly smiled at the two boys near her.

In that moment, Jiung finished helping the girl with her injury.

"You should keep it like that for a week." He smiled brightly at Daeun before sitting next to her.

"Thank you, Jiung." Daeun was grateful.

"No problem." Jiung was in thought before standing up again, "I'll make us some food!"

✴

The orange-haired boy carefully traveled to the nearest convenience store to collect some ingredients for bulgogi.

He hurried to get back to the house to prevent his younger friends from starving.

Once he payed for everything, he headed back to Daeun and Jongseob's house to cook for them.

Not too long after, he arrived at their house and rang the doorbell.

Almost immediately, Daeun opened up the door for him.

Jiung smiled as he entered, setting his groceries down on the counter inside the kitchen.

"I can help you. What are we making?" Daeun asked, leaning on the kitchen counter.

"Eun, you should rest. I'll let Jongseob help me?" He faced the younger boy, asking for consent. 

"Sure! I'll need to cook for noona a lot more!" Jongseob happily skipped to the kitchen as Daeun sighed, taking a seat on the couch.

Jiung stared at the girl, practically fawning without realizing. Then he spoke, "Actually, Jongseob. Will you be able to make the whole meal? I was making bulgogi."

His smile widened, "Of course!" The boy nodded before singing in a happy tone.

"La la la la la la, sing a happy song~" He smiled with contentment.

Meanwhile, Jiung sat next to his somewhat-new friend, "You okay, Eun?" 

She nodded, "I'm fine. Why?"

"Well, you look sad." Jiung pouted, right before letting his intrusive thoughts get the best of him.

He poked the girls cheek with his pointer finger.

He immediately drew his hand back, cursing under his breath, "I am so sorry." But the two sat in an awkward silence as Daeun just stared at the older boy.

"W-what was that, Jongseob? You need help? I'll be r-right there then." Jiung stuttered, stumbled, and made his way to the young boy who was ever so confused.

Daeun just sat there, still in shock. But once she realized what actually happened, she couldn't help but to smile, just a little bit.
