Minho dragged Ari's arm, pulling her away from her friends and going upstairs. He entered his room and pushed her into it. Felix shut the door and locked it.

Ari huffed in anger, pushing her brown hair back. She looked at her brothers. "What is this all about?"

If she was angry, Minho was boiling in that anger. He defended her quite alright but if he does find out that she was threatening Seungmin, all hell would break loose. "What did you do yesterday?", The eldest Lee asked, throwing his jacket on his bed to face her fully.

"What do you mean what did I do yesterday?", Ari asked with attitude, her eyes sizing him up.

"Just fucking-", Minho took a deep breath. "Answer my question"

Ari looked at Felix briefly. The sunshine wasn't bright too so she knew something was wrong. She just doesn't know what. "I went shopping with Chaery. Appa gave me one of his cards", she answered.

"Appa?", Minho wanted to confirm that their father was her alibi. Ari nodded vigorously. "Did you have a package sent to Seungmin's house?", and her brothers watched for any facial slip-up.

"Package?", Ari repeated. "What package?. No, I didn't"

"Do you really mean that, Ari?", Minho asked.

Ari sighed. "Did Seungmin say I sent it?. Of course, he would"

"If I find out that you lied to me", Minho warned. "Oh, it would be nasty"

Okay. That scared Ari but she maintained her stance. "I wonder what the package was, for you to be threatening me"

Felix stepped in. "Do you have feelings for Seungmin?", he hit the nail right on the head and oh, his sister wasn't expecting such a question so her cocky demeanour dropped so fast and she was quickly moving her eyes to Minho, stepping back on instinct. Felix laughed humourlessly. "You do?. Lee Ari, what... are you mad?"

Minho covered his face with his hands, dragging out a low breath. He focused on his sister again. "What did I tell you about harbouring feelings for any of the guys?. You must be sick upstairs actually to like Seungmin. Kim Seungmin?!. That boy doesn't give a damn about love!. You just had to go and choose the worst of the worsts"

Ari scoffed loudly in absurdity. "And you know anything about love?. Which guy in your friend group is different from Seungmin?. You all have the same characteristics and the same way of thoughts. Aren't you being a hypocrite by saying such about Seungmin?"

"Oh goodness", Felix mumbled. The more he stared at this foolish girl, the more he wanted to call bull and slap senses into her. "We all think alike, Ari, yes and that was why we made it clear to you!. That you can't have anything with any of our friends. Choosing Seungmin isn't really the issue. If you had chosen Jeongin, Jisung, Hyunjin, Changbin or even Chan, I will still refuse such union. And the fuck are you doing defending him?. Seungmin would never"

"Oh he would", Ari confidently said and her brothers scowled. "Not because he likes me but because he has a good layer within him. He would defend even his enemy when needed, so?"

Minho knew she was right but however, he was still against his little sister harbouring feelings for his friend. "This will never work", he said and Ari looked at him. "I will never accept it. Felix neither and do you think our parents will agree?. Or his parents?. Or any of the families?. Grow the fuck out of these dumb feelings. He still has the issue with Yang Narang. Just because she is in the states doesn't mean she won't come back"

"Do you want her to come back?. Why the fuck will you bring her up now?!", Ari screamed at him. "I was good friends with Seungmin and everything was okay till she waltzed her way in and we came to hate each other's guts. It was all because of Yang Narang!"
