"what is love?" (zhang hao)

chapter thirteen

"PIAK!"

her hand cracked across my face, leaving a sting that made me stagger back, my fingers gingerly touching the spot where she'd struck.

yes, that brat who had the audacity to try and seduce my twin had slapped me.

the entire cafeteria went pin-drop silence as i smirked at her incompetence. 

"i have a question for you. when did you transfer here?" i raised my eyebrow as i faced her. she looked at me in confusion before answering, "i transferred here three years ago. why?"

"ahh, so you've most likely never heard of me," i smiled, my voice dripping with sarcasm. "i will introduce myself now. hi! i'm han yurim. ex-student council president, top five of the school, and, oh, sister of yujin, taesan, and yuhyuck." i watched her face falter, the confidence she had moments ago slowly draining away.

i could see the blood slowly draining from her face as she faced me. "so? you might have been the president of the school, but i am still a senior to you."

"oh, i highly doubt that," i winked, enjoying the shift in the atmosphere. "i'm currently in my first year at the university next to your school."

"i-i-i sunbaenim, i-i'm so s-s-sorry—" she stammered, but i cut her off before she could finish.

"that's enough," i said coldly, stepping closer. "if i ever see any of you annoying my brothers or their friends again, i won't hesitate to chop off your head." my voice dropped into a dangerous tone, and with that, the crowd quickly dispersed, their fear evident.

"woah, noona, you were so cool!" woonhak exclaimed, stopping the recording on his phone. "i'm gonna treasure this recording forever," he added with a grin. i looked at him and couldn't help but think how pocket-sized he seemed—wait, no, he's technically taller than me now.

"thanks, baby sis," taesan teased, grinning as he pinched my cheeks.

"yah, we're only five minutes apart."

"still baby," he said, shrugging like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"taesan, i swear, if you keep that up, i'll ask your fangirls to pester you even more," i shot back, narrowing my eyes.

he raised his hands in mock surrender, chuckling. "whatever you say, i guess."

"uh thank you for just now sunbaenim," jaehyun who was in grade eleven said to me.

"hehe uhm you guys can just call me yurim or noona for the younger ones," i said as i checked my watch. "oh and it's time for my next lecture! bye guys, see yall soon!" i said as i dragged haeyul along with me.

"BYE!" the group shouted back as haeyul waved at them

"taesan-ah, your sister is really cool," riwoo said, finally able to enjoy his meal in peace for the first time in ages.

"oh, it's nothing, really," taesan shrugged nonchalantly, continuing to eat. "she's actually way more dangerous than that. she's been learning taekwondo professionally for over ten years now. not only that, she's teaching others as well."

"yeah, i've seen her at a taekwondo tournament," woonhak chimed in, his eyes shining with admiration. "she looked so cool. it was like four years ago, but i still have the video." to him, yurim was more than just a role model—she was the older sibling he never had.

"really?" sungho asked, intrigued.

"yeah. she was competing against leehan," taesan added, as if it was just a casual fact.

"oh man, i remember that," leehan nodded, a nostalgic grin forming on his face. "she went by jiyeon back then, right?"

taesan and woonhak both nodded in unison.

"seriously? my elementary teachers used to talk about her all the time," jaehyun said, his eyes widening in disbelief. "they'd always say how she could take down anyone, even while wearing a mask. she was like a legend in korea. we were all so confused when she disappeared for like four years."

"yep, that's my twin sister for you," taesan said, flashing a proud smile. "in reality, though, she's the biggest crackhead i've ever met. but no one works harder than her."

he then pulled out his phone, swiping through a gallery of photos—yurim with yujin, yurim with taesan, yurim with yuhyuck, and all four siblings together. the group huddled around, leaning in closer to catch glimpses of the memories.

"you can always count on her to handle things when needed, but she's also the person who makes everything more fun," taesan added, his tone softer now.
