All three of them made their way out of the apartment. Aedda and Jungkook were walking side by side, whilst Min Hee ran in front and blabbered about how she was excited about kindergarten.

"All of my friends are going to the same kindergarten as me! Aerum and Bora will be there too!" She finished when they approached the park. "Yay, Kookie-oppa push me!" She squealed, running towards the swings, Jungkook following. Aedda trailed behind and sat on the bench, which the gloomy boy sat on last time. She watched with joy as Min Hee pretended to be an aeroplane with Jungkook, running around the playground. And she laughed when Jungkook caught his little sister, making both of them stop and stare at the angelic smile, which faded as Aedda noticed she was being watched. Her cheeks turned a crimson red, so she looked down, to prevent anyone from seeing her embarrassment.

"Ah, sorry, it's just-"

"Awe, you look so cute unnie!" Min Hee cooed, running towards the said girl leaving the frozen Jungkook, who was still staring, bewildered by how that was the first time he actually saw her smile. He didn't know why, but her smile seemed to have an affect on him, surely it was just his teenage hormones teasing him.

Dusk came too soon, and Aedda received a call from Hyuk, telling her that the whole Ryu family was going out for dinner. Aedda bid farewell to her neighbours and waked into her own apartment. She was greeted by her parents, who were formally dressed, and her brothers, who were wearing identical outfits just the colour of their jumpers were different. Her mother had rushed Aedda to her room, to get changed. Soon after, the girl came out in a red dress, which her mother ordered her to wear, that went down to her knees. She wasn't told any details, just that they were having dinner with another family.

It was soon time to leave, and Aedda finally realised who they were dining with. Because of course it would a coincidence if the Jeons were also formally dressed and were waiting for the Ryus to come. The parents had greeted each other and Aedda's mother introduced her brothers. Min Hee was taking her evening nap in her own brother's hands, who was smartly dressed in a classic black tuxedo with no tie. Either way, he looked handsome.

What are you thinking, Aedda?! The girl blushed at her own thoughts and looked away, meaning it was Jungkook's turn to glance at the girl. He wasn't going to lie, she looked no better than she usually had, but now Jungkook couldn't stop himself from thinking that she looked:

Pleasing?

Pretty?

Beautiful?

Adjectives were thrown around in his mind, making Jungkook angry that he would actually think that way.

They were finally at the restaurant, that Mr and Mrs Jeon picked, and sat at the large table, which they were escorted to. Jungkook, being the gentleman that he was (in front of his parents), helped Aedda to her chair, which was coincidentally next to him. Min Hee smiled, she saw right through her brother, he was definitely warming up to her new babysitter.
