"I wish i could explain your eyes , and how the sound of your voice give me butterflies , how your smile makes my heart skip a beat."

Ara was curled up on her bed, watching a K-drama, when a knock came on her door. Without looking away from the screen, she called out, "Come in."

Jeonghan entered her room and flopped down on the bed beside her, closing his eyes with a tired sigh. They stayed in companionable silence for a minute until Ara broke it, sensing something was off.

"Oppa? Is something bothering you?" she asked, her voice soft with concern.

Jeonghan opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling, exhaling deeply. After a moment, he turned his head slightly toward her and asked, "Ara, do you like someone?"

Ara's eyes widened, and she felt a flush of nervousness creep up her neck. "Why do you ask this suddenly?" she responded, trying to keep her voice steady.

Jeonghan shrugged, trying to sound nonchalant. "Nothing, I was just curious."
Ara quickly hid her feelings behind a practiced smile. "No, oppa, I don't."

Jeonghan studied her for a moment before sighing again. "Ara, I know at this age people get feelings for someone, but I don't want you to date anyone right now. I want you to focus on your studies, okay?"

Jeonghan studied her for a moment before sighing again. "Ara, I know at this age people get feelings for someone, but I don't want you to date anyone right now. I want you to focus on your studies, okay?"

Ara frowned, turning to face him. "Oppa, why are you being so overprotective? I'm not a kid anymore. I can handle my own feelings." Jeonghan sat up, looking at her seriously. "I know you're not a kid, Ara. But you're my little sister, and I worry about you. I just want what's best for you."

Ara sighed, sitting up beside him. "I get that, Don't you trust me."Jeonghan ruffled her hair affectionately.

"I do trust you. It's the other boys intentions  I don't trust." Ara rolled her eyes, laughing. "You sound like a cliché overprotective brother from my K-dramas." Jeonghan chuckled. "Maybe I am. But those brothers usually have a point, don't they?"

Ara nudged him playfully. "Yeah, yeah. But seriously, oppa, you need to chill a bit. I promise, if I ever think of dating someone i won't date without your permission ."Jeonghan raised an eyebrow. "Really?"

Ara nodded, her heart heavy with the secret she was keeping. "Okay, oppa."

Just then, Jeonghan's phone buzzed. He glanced at it and saw it was a call from Joshua. He stood up, ruffling Ara's hair affectionately. "Good night, Ara."

"Good night, oppa," she replied, watching him leave her room.

As the door closed behind him, Ara let out a sigh, her mind swirling with thoughts of Seungcheol. She knew her brother meant well, but hiding her feelings was becoming harder each day. leaning back against her pillows. Her thoughts wandered to all the moments she had shared with him—the lingering glances, the gentle smiles, the way her heart fluttered whenever he was near.

"Why does it have to be so complicated?" she whispered to herself, feeling a familiar ache in her chest.

Ara's mind raced with questions and doubts. Till when do I have to hide my feelings? What if he never sees me the way I see him? The uncertainty gnawed at her, filling her with a sense of helplessness. She had always been good at hiding her emotions, at pretending everything was fine, but with Seungcheol, it was different. Her feelings for him were growing stronger every day, and the weight of her secret was becoming too much to bear.
