Tough Girl's Sweetheart 24

Haeul POV
IT'S FINALLY SATURDAY! I stretch and laugh when I saw the bird nest of hair on top of Joonmyun's head as he sat up drowsily. I ruffle his hair and pat the wild strands down as he rest his head on my shoulder. It's been a week since the room incident but we're adjusting smoothly with rooming together. He said a quick 'thanks' before getting up to go to the bathroom. I reach out for my phone which was by my bedside. Laying back down, I saw a message from Daehyun.

To : Haeul
From : Daehyun
Morning sis! Me and Soyoung will be visiting you guys there! Will be reaching there about an hour or so since Soyoung also just woke up. Need anything? I can help you buy food if you want too :)

I smile at the thought of seeing my brother and Soyoung, it has been a week. Joonmyun walk out of the bathroom just to catch me smiling at my phone screen.

"Someone is happy in the morning," he commented and sat opposite me on the bed.

"Oppa and Soyoungie are coming over in about an hour," I said while typing to Daehyun to buy me some milk since we ran out of them last night.

"Ahhh," Joonmyun nod his head understandingly," Should I wake the boys up?"

"It's okay," I shook my head,"I'm pretty sure they are having hangovers now"

Last night was a typical Friday night for the rich and single teenagers. Chanyeol, Kai, Baekhyun, Chen and Sehun came back home stumbling drunk while Tao was being a sassy tipsy emotional teen. The only ones not drunk or tipsy was Lay, Xiumin and D.O. That was also because they had initiatives and a sense of responsibility to drive their brothers back home. Kai was the funniest though. He accidentally kissed Sehun while Sehun receives it calmly. I was crying in tears of laughter while recording the incident but Joonmyun being the responsible man he is, splits them up before tongues were involved. Oh the fun of watching idiotic drunk people!

"If you said so," Joonmyun laughs.

I got off bed and got changed to cook hangover soup for the lovely idiots. I may call them idiots but of course I'm still worried for them. I enter the kitchen not shocked to find D.O looking dazed. I quietly creep up on him while he just staring out of the window, deep in his thoughts or day dream. I was directly behind him now but he is still unaware.

"KYUNGGGGSOOOOOO!!!!" I shouted and hit his shoulder.

"AHHHHHHH!" D.O turn around and got into defensive mode that is till he saw it was just me,"What the fuck?!"

I was already on the floor laughing while D.O had a pissed off yet amused look. Joonmyun came in while shaking his head at me who is on the floor laughing. He helped me up and pat D.O's back comfortingly.

"What the hell noona! I was shocked and could have almost hit you," D.O exclaimed.

"Mianhae Kyungsoo ah. I couldn't resist the opportunity to scare you," I said in between laughs.

I calm myself down while Joonmyum munch on a bowl of cookies. D.O look at me unbelievably but he ended up laughing too. I pat his back while saying sorry. He nods his head but warned me not to do it again.

"Anyways, why are you out here so early noona?" D.O got over the shock and watch as I wrap the apron around my waist.

"Cooking. My brother and cousin,Soyoung, is coming over. Plus I'm making hangover breakfast for your members," I said while scrolling through the fridge for ingredients.

"It's okay noona. I can cook for them,"D.O tried to help but I push him lightly out of the kitchen.

"Mianhae Kyungsoo ah. I know this is your kitchen but for today let me use it? Just today!" I pleaded," You can take this as a day rest."

" Well," D.O  contemplated before giving up," Alright. I only trust you with the kitchen."

"Thank you Squishy!" I cooed teasingly and received a scowl from D.O,"Joking~ Thanks Kyungsoo ah!"

D.O left with a heavy sigh while I wave brightly at him. I took out my phone and press the shuffle button for a random song. Justin Bieber's What Do You Mean? came on and I start my preparations for the ingredients while singing. Who cooks silently?


What do you mean? Oooh
When you nod your head yes
But you wanna say no
What do you mean? Heeey
When you don't want me to move
But you tell me to go

What do you mean?
What do you mean?
Said we're running out of time
What do you mean?

Oh oh oh What do you mean?
Better make up your mind
What do you mean?

"Your english is good," Joonmyun commented suddenly,"And so is your singing."

I turn to see Joonmyun staring me with his hand propped on the kitchen counter, looking like the fine ass gentleman he is. I stop singing and suddenly felt self conscious.

"Uh... I'm not that good in singing but thanks oppa," I awkwardly thank him.

I turn back to my vegetables and continue chopping while humming lowly to the tune. A pair of arms slide around my waist suddenly, shocking me. I tilt my head back to see him smiling down to me. I giggle and continue chopping the vegetables. What's with his recent confidence? I bite my lips as a blush threatened to raise to my cheeks when I felt him holding me tighter. This is distracting... I can feel his chest behind me and his firm arms around my waist. Definitely a distraction.


"Oppa, next time do remember to not scare me like this when I'm holding a knife. Do you want to be stabbed... again mister?" I joked to ease the shyness I'm feeling now.

"I don't mind," Joonmyun whispered softly," Cause you'll be there to nurse me won't you?"

I almost drop the knife there and there. What are you doing to me.... I laugh nervously and elbow him lightly for joking around.

"I knew something was suspicious when I saw Kyungsoo at the gym," Xiumin's voice made Joonmyun loosen his hug around me as he turn to look at a smirking Xiumin.

"What suspicious? I'm just cooking," I turn to Xiumin and Joonmyun release his hands from my waist.

"It's too early for mushy stuff," Xiumin whined as he grab a bottle of mineral water from the fridge.

I laugh while I continue grabbing ingredients and chopping stuffs. Joonmyun went out with Xiumin after I chase him out with the reason of him being my distraction. After they both left, I finally had peace and space to myself.

"Alright! Left with just for the noodles to cook," I cheered after I had finally finished cooking. 

Since it was a hangover breakfast, I made Chicken Noodles Soup. Satisfied with the taste, I off the stove heat and clean up the area as promised to D.O. I check the time and it was 10.50AM. I dry off the counter top and took off my apron. I went to the entertainment room to find Joonmyun lounging there while looking at the tv with a bored expression. 

"Who watches TV with that type of expression?" I plop down next to him.

" There's nothing interesting on," Joonmyun mumbles while flicking between channels.

"Young master, Miss Haeul. I would inform you that Mr Daehyun and Miss Soyoung is here," Damien appeared by the door.

"Let's go!" I pull Joonmyun up and towards the front door.

We were just in time as Daehyun's red Ferrari came into sight. I wave enthusiastically while Joonmyun laugh behind me. Daehyun came out of the car car and wave to me back. He went over to the passenger side to guide Soyoung. I ran towards her for a full on body hug. Soyoung giggles as she hugs me back.

"How are you unnie? Is your hand alright?" Soyoung asked as I lead her to the front door.

"Ah I'm fine. My hand is okay already. I can even cook now," I explained. 

"I see you aren't dying. That's good," Daehyun joked when I went nearer to him.

"I see Soyoung can still put up with you, that's good. Soyoung ah, if you can't put up with him, just call me. I will be there to pick you up whenever!" I said and pat Soyoung's head comfortingly. 

Daehyun scoff while I roll my eyes but our facade melted when I went up to him for a hug. He hugs me back and gave me a kiss on my head. Such a bipolar brother....

"I got something to discuss about Soyoung with you," Daehyun said and Soyoung nods in agreement.

"Okay..." I look at him seriously," Do you guys want some Chicken Noodles Soup? I cooked a lot for Exo who is currently having hangovers."

"Ah must be fun to still be able to party every Friday night!" Daehyun exclaimed while Joonmyun laughs.

"You must be very busy if you miss the clubbing scene this much hyung," Joonmyun said while Daehyun sigh.

"The company is really tough to handle. I shall anticipate when you take over Joonmyun ah. You will know what I mean," Daehyun pat Joonmyun's back.

The four of us went to the dining area just to find two zombies, oh wait, it's just Kai and Sehun. I shook my head in disapproval while Joonmyun sigh at the sight of them.

"Rough night guys?" Daehyun's booming voice made them startled. 

"Ah hyung!" Kai stood up to greet Daehyun quickly while Sehun followed sluggishly. 

"Yah, I have a video of what happened between you two," I teased while Kai narrowed his eyes on me.

"Morning Jongin and Sehun ah!" Soyoung greeted them happily. 

"Ah n-noona you're h-here too?" Kai stutter as he noticed Soyoung's petite figure behind Daehyun. 

"Eung ~ Continue eating! You should rest more. The alcohol would settle down easier if you rest more," Soyoung cutely advise.

" Ah.... I wasn't that drunk-" And I cut him off.

"Not drunk my ass. You were making out with Sehun and Oppa had to break you two up before tongues were involved," I point at him accusingly. 

Kai was left speechless and blushing while the rest was laughing, minus Sehun who already was asleep again. Kai look down guiltily and just sat down quietly. 

"It's okay Jongin ah. A kiss shows how much you love Sehun. I think it's cute bromance," Soyoung teased, making Kai more flustered. 

Soyoung came towards Kai and sat down beside him. I watch with a glare as Kai openly stares at Soyoung. I swear I spotted drool on his face. I think he must have felt me staring so he turn towards me and I stare back at him. I stare harder and he gave up so he ended up looking at his bowl of soup only. I gave him the threatening glare when he glance up for a while. I have my eyes on you, you playboy....

"Haeul ah, can I have a quick word with you? Oppa actually have work after this. I'll pick Syoung up around 7PM," Daehyun seriously said.

"Yeah sure," I turn to Joonmyun," I'll be back. For the moment, look out for these babies for me oppa."

"I'm not a baby!" Kai argued.

"You are like one Jongin ah," Soyoung teased," And so is Sehunnie and Tao."

"Noona~" Kai whined at Soyoung who just giggle at him.

"Sure. I'll take care of them," Joonmyun nods and chuckle at the bickering Kai and Soyoung.

I lead Daehyun to the library and shut the doors. I turn to him and we both knew that we meant business in this conversation. I signal to the couch and Daehyun sat down comfortably. I sat down and look at him with my eyebrow raised.

"Always straight to the point aren't you?" Daehyun laugh.

"Just get this over with. As you can see, I just left my husband with 3 kids and more would come," I roll my eyes jokingly.

"Alright," he started,"I got to know who Soyoung's mother really is."

"What does her mother got to do with anything?" I question him.

"Her mother is Wu Huifen," Daehyun announced.

I remain silent as the name was foreign and didn't rang a bell in my head. I look at him while he look at me. From silence, Daehyun suddenly sigh dramatically.

"She was the Wu clan's last daughter!" Daehyun exclaimed.

"WHAT?!" I can feel my jaw reaching the floor.

The Wu clan. The only Chinese mafia group that worked closely with us but suddenly pulled themselves away from us 20 years ago. I remember my father talking about them, how close they used to be but they totally cut all ties with us suddenly. Maybe this was the reason for their sudden withdrawal... I look at Daehyun with shocked filled eyes.

"So what you are trying to say is that Soyoung.... Our Soyoung is from the powerful Wu clan?!" I literally screamed,"Does she know about this?!"

"Well... yeah she is and no she doesn't. She just know that her mother's chinese name is Wu Huifen. Nothing more,"Daehyun explained.

"Oppa, do you know that this might be the key as to why the Wu suddenly cut ties with us?" I shook him in excitement.

"But you see...." Daehyun hangs onto his sentence.

"What?" I got annoyed at his hesitance.

"I think they sent one of them here. My men picked up a tall Chinese man lurking around. But that isn't all," Daehyun sigh.

"Please don't tell me they are here for Soyoung," I begged.

"Unfortunately they are. And the one after her is her oldest cousin, Wu Yifan a.k.a Kris. The next in line for the Wu clan," Daehyun broke out the news.

"Fuck," I curse and lean back onto the couch,"Are his intentions clear?"

"No. We won't know till we confront him," Daehyun said seriously," And I think he will approach us soon. He had been hanging around your school."

"Then let the confrontation begin," I stare back at Daehyun,"We shall see what his real intentions are won't we?."

Kris POV
"I found her," I spoke into the phone while swirling the wine in my glass.

"Good. Now bring her back. Your grandfather isn't a patient man Kris," The other person on the line spoke.

"Yes father. I shall act as of now. We must bring back our princess," I said proudly and hang up the phone.

I put down the phone and watch the night lights of the bright skyscrapers from the view of my apartment. This million dollar apartment was bare of any furniture except the wall filled with pictures of a girl,Soyoung, and a couch. I place the glass of wine down and approach the wall filled with pictures. I graze through the pictures till my eyes fell onto one striking one. It was a picture of Soyoung with Haeul. Kwon Haeul... you intrigues my curiosity about you

"Should I bring her back too?" I stare at the familiar face of my target's main guard.
