Jaeah thought those feelings wouldn't have a chance to turmoil and grow. She was wrong. The two were a month to graduate and she's been seeing Jungwon around more than her own brother, (not that she minds). It's just that her feelings were hard to deny and she was ashamed of feeling so unruly.

Since Jaeah's exams were finally over she wasn't gonna look at a book until the new semester starts. She was set on keeping herself busy, doing the one thing she enjoys the most in the entire world. Sewing and designing clothes. She was fashionably skilled and always dressed to her best. One step into her room and you'd wonder if you'd entered a fashion realm or a teenagers bedroom.

Her walls were decorated with sketches of men and women's clothing. A stack of vogue magazines could be found on her stool . Posters of histories best fashion pieces pasted avoided her bed. There's also one thing you won't see usually in a young girls room, a sewing machine. The sewing machine she'd gotten for her 15th birthday. Sometimes even when she's studying, she'd gaze to her sewing table, her heart knowing that, that was where she truly belonged.

The loud thrumming of the sewing machine was the only sound that resonated in her room. She gently slipped her fingers across the fabric, pulling away when it came to the needle.

Three rhythmic knocks were heard on her door. "Come in!" She turned around and yelled. Yelping in pain afterward as her finger got caught in the wrath of the needle. She pulled back her finger wincing."Jaeah!" Jungwon was the one who came in running. The blood stained the fabric, droplets splattering the area.

"Jaeah!." He grabbed her wrist and directed her to the bathroom. Jaeah winced at the contact of water. "Does it hurt a lot?" She nodded her head as a no and Jungwon sighs in relief. She glimpsed at his face. She hasn't seen him look so serious in a while. His eyebrows knotted, facing showing clear signs of panic when he rushed in. He was oddly attractive like this. Was she slowly getting smitten to every side that Jungwon showed her?

"Jungwon it's okay." She smiled as reassurance. He wrapped the bandaid on and caressed it. His warm hands left hers, and she was left wanting more. "Be more careful Jae, I don't want you getting hurt." Her heart swells. She nods, smile growing wider. It was much harder to forget the endurance she had for him. Jungwon only became more lovable with days passing.

"Jaeah!" "Mom and dad are having dinner at work." "You and I are going out for dinner." Jake peaked his head in nosily without even knocking. "How many times have I told you to knock?" She said with a sigh of irritation. "Geez, my bad." She rolls her eyes, head moving back to her phone as she laid on her bed.

"Hey did you not hear me, get ready we're going in 10." Jake barges into the room. "Who said I was going with you?" Jaeah sat up, crossing her arms on her chest. Her eyes challenging her brother. Jake sighs throwing his head back. His fingers held the bridge of his nose as he shook his head disapprovingly. "Then you leave me with no choice." Jake jumps onto her bed and she has no time to retaliate.

Like a predator that pounced on her, he holds her neck caged with his arms as she repeatedly smacks it. "Jake, let go I'm dying!" She kicks her feet and moves around uncontrollably while yelping but Jake's grip is strong. "So you can do it to me but I can't do it for you?" "Wow," He scoffs, unbothered to his sister's pleads. "Say that you'll go to dinner." He grits out, loosening at but to hear her answer. "No way! I just wanna stay home." "Besides im not going with as someone as ugly as you, it will destroy my reputation."

"You brat, what reputation?!" Jake holds her neck once again and Jaeah is back to begging him to let go. "How dare you say something so harsh like that!" "I'm your older brother, have some respect." Jaeah manages to sneak her palm to fist his hair and he starts to wince. "Not the hair, let go of my hair!"
He cries out at the pain of his hair getting pulled out. "You stop strangling me!"

Jake accepts defeat and Jaeah lets go smiling pridefully. "Why would you pick a fight knowing you'd lose, Jake?" "It makes me think how dumb you actually are." She sarcastically spat out the insults while rubbing her neck. "Whatever, I can't leave you alone." "Cmon it's just gonna be me Jungwon and you." "What's the big fuss over?" Jake sighs out while rising his hair in the mirror.

Jaeah freezes upon hearing Jungwon. "Jungwon?" "He's going?" Jake turns around, eyeing his sister judgtngly. "Of course dumbass."
"Let me ask you this again-," "I'LL GO!" She cuts him off excitedly. She coughs and clears her throat, regaining her posture. "I'll go I mean." Jake's mouth is agape. "So weird." He mumbles while leaving her room. Usually Jaeah would pick up a fight for it, but she was too busy wandering off in her imagination. Her heart racing at the thought of spending time with Jungwon.

Jaeah didn't think it was going to be that cold outside. All she'd worn was a top and a thin cardigan over it paired with baggy jeans. She hid her hands in the long sleeves to keeps them warm as her teeth chattered. Jake was obviously scolding her the entire journey.

"This is because you always dress up and don't dress for the weather."
"How are going to become a fashion designer if you just want to look cute."
"No jae, I don't want to hear any of your excuses."
"I'm not giving you my jacket, bitch I'm cold too."
"Even if you are freezing to death, this time I'll save my self because I'm stung by your cold insults and I'm never forgetting the way you pulled my hair like 5 minutes ago."

Jaeah whined, winning has never been more bitter. She even forced herself to apologize to him. Gagging even at the thought of a sorry being said to Jake. "Apology unacceptable." Jake huffed and turned his head away.

They met Jungwon on the way. He waved at them before running to them. "Oh my god!" "Jae you're freezing!" Jungwon ushers his jacket off and swings it on her shoulders. Jaeah didn't even have the time to greet him, let alone look at him. The warmth enclosed her, and she was no longer shaking. "Thank you." She shyly lifted her head to meet his eyes. "But you'll be cold, what if you get sick." She frowned, she didn't want Jungwon to be feeling sick at her expense.

He just chuckled while slinging his arm over her shoulders and continuing to walk. "It'll make me feel better seeing you happy and healthy." "I told you that I don't want you getting hurt." He lowers his head to see her smile. Making sure that she was alright.

Jake stood behind them, his eyes trailing on the two that kept going about. Laughing and talking amongst themselves. "Unbelievable." What took him by surprise the most was his sister's changed demeanor. Her mannerisms completely changed. "Am I the only one that she treats like shit?" "Is Jungwon that special?"
