Cut Eyebrows

26---a sister's confession

Taehyung rolled off of the couch. "And you're not taking me???"

"I'm sorry, but I don't think men usually wear dresses, Tae."

"But I want to see you in dresses! I can buy it for you too!" He whined and pouted. Taehyung latched on to her arm. "Don't go~" He cried.

"OhmygodTaegetoff!" She shook her arm.

He looked up at her. Sangchil sighed. "Taehyung," she said softly. "I'm going out with Taejoo to pick out a dress for the wedding. Just hangout here, i'll be back before you know it."

He let go and sat on the floor. "Fine."

"Good boy." She patted his head and laughed.

Taejoo smiled when she saw her sister. "Sangchil!" She waved.

"Hey." She beamed. "Let's go."

They first went to multiple boutiques, but then they ended up going a mall where they could possibly find a better, cheaper dress there.

Looking through the racks, Sangchil's face showed disappointment. "I can't find the perfect one! It's either too small or big, long or short, ugly or revealing, and too expensive!" She grumbled.

"I found one." Taejoo held up one. It was a navy blue shoulder dress with white pearls sewn at the bottom. "Pretty, right?"

"Ooh, yes. Also sexy too." Sangchil winked. "For attracting men. Talking about men, are you dating? Do you like anyone?"

Taejoo halted. Her mouth opened but she closed it. Hesitantly, she looked at her sister. "I want to tell you something, Sangchil."

"Yeah, you're telling me something right now—does this dress seem okay?"

"No, Sangchil, I need you to listen." Taejoo put a hand over hers.

Sangchil looked at Taejoo, concern filled her eyes. "What's the matter?"

"I... Like Taehyung." Taejoo breathed out.

Sangchil's eyes widened. "You...You like him?"

"Eh? I mean—used to—used to like him!" Taejoo quickly added in. She put her hand to her forehead. "Oh my gosh, what am I saying? I used to like him, Sangchil. Not anymore... I don't think."

"It's okay, if you like him, that's okay." She chuckled.

Taejoo blushed slightly. "He's so good-looking... I want to impress him."

"I'm sure he'll like it." Sangchil smiled warily. "I'm sure he'll probably like you back if you approach him."

"You think so?" Taejoo's eyes brightened. "But... No. I don't think I like him anymore. That was so immature of me back then. You guys are dating..."

"Huh? No—I mean—Kinda—yeah—sure." Sangchil kicked herself in the shin mentally. She couldn't let out the deal she and Taehyung made.

Keep on the act, Sangchil.

Sangchil snapped her fingers, "That reminds me, I need to pick up more kimchi for Tae..."

"You're living together?" Taejoo exclaimed.

"Oh—Yeah... Since Jin and Charlotte are tying the knot, they asked for more privacy... I don't mind, Taehyung doesn't mind either..."

"You guys are cute." Taejoo smirks, "I hope one day I'll catch a man like that." Her hands slightly shook, she smiled hesitantly.

"I bet you will..." She bit her lip. Sangchil felt bad that her sister was crushing on her... Crush too.

Sangchil unlocked the door and Taehyung shot up from the couch.

"You're still in the same position when I left the apartment." Sangchil muttered.

"You're late!" Taehyung shouted. "You said you'll be back a short time!"

She glanced at the clock, "Tae, it's 5pm. It's not that late."

"I missed you." He came up to her, "Did you manage to buy a dress? Let me see!"

"I didn't buy a dress. Taejoo did though."

Taehyung stuck out her tongue. "I didn't ask about her, I only care about you."

"Cut the crap. Here's more kimchi, Tae." Sangchil placed down the jar.

"Ooh! Start making dinner!" Taehyung shouted.

"Fine! Whatever!" She shut her bedroom door behind her, locking it.
