Breaking the Rules (EXO)

18: Discussion

Nari watched as Corina flopped onto the couch, a thousand thoughts running through her head. She'd always been told she was hospitable and caring, so it was no surprise when the thought of helping Corina's unknown brother sprang to her. She wasn't sure if she should say a word, since the two had only just moved in, and wouldn't possibly be okay with-

"Maybe Roman could come live here." She said suddenly. Both immediately looked to her, completely surprised. "I mean, just for a short time, until he can get back on his feet of course." She said laughing awkwardly.

Corina, who Nari was sure would frown, looked as though she was pondering the offer. "Maybe it'd work out. I know he loves China, but he knows how to speak Korean-"

"Are you dead serious?" Min Young asked, his jaw dropping.

Corina turned to him and scowled. "Why would I know so many languages and my brother only know Russian and Chinese? Of course he can speak the language, he's my study partner."

Min Young threw his hands in the air, wide eyed. "Alright, alright! I'm sorry I even said anything, jeez." He said rolling his eyes. "But maybe it is a good idea. Maybe this way, you know he's safe and he has a job."

Corina frowned. "Yeah but... I don't know. I just feel like it would be weird to try and get him a position now, so late in the year."

Min Young shook his head. "No, not since Kim Hyun Ki is leaving the language department." He looked to Nari. "She got knocked up, and the guy wants nothing to do with her. Apparently, she's chasing him across the country." He winked. "But that's none of my business."

Corina nodded. "I suppose it could work," She muttered. "I'll speak to the principal tomorrow, but I don't know how they feel about siblings working together."

Min Young laughed. "I'm sure it will be fine." He turned to Nari. "I'm going to bed. It was lovely moving in with you today." He said, smiling happily before moving towards the bathroom.

Nari turned to Corina. "Honestly though," She started. "If you don't want him here, he doesn't have to live here."

"I'm mostly just worried of what the neighbors will think." She said with a sigh.

Nari frowned. "About us living with two boys?"

Corina nodded. "They might think we're married couples living together. And since we all know how most people feel about that situation, I'd be married off with my brother. And that," She said standing. "Is disgusting."

Nari laughed. "I think you look too similar for you to be considered husband and wife. Besides, we can always just stare at them blankly and ask what they mean while you reach for Min Young's hand and I hold your brother's arm." She winked. "It'll really give them something to think about."

Corina instantly burst into a laughing fit. "That would be a sight." She said, shaking her head.

"How about you tell me about dinner now." Nari asked, and Corina immediately stopped laughing. "Kai came back very upset."

Corina pursed her lips. "I just wasn't feeling it okay? End of story. I don't like him and the sooner he understands that, the better."

"Who said he's trying to be with you in that sense?" Nari asked.

Corina stood. "We all know he doesn't just want to be friends with me." She tugged her hair into a ponytail and began unbuttoning her shirt, revealing a tank top underneath. "I'm just not interested. At all." She then turned to face Nari. "What about you? What's up with you and the broody one?"

"Broody one?"

"The young one. Always looks a little perplexed. Se something."

Nari laughed immediately. "Sehun?" Corina nodded. "Nothing, he's kind though."
