Tomboy and Me / nam woohyun (#9)

Episode 12

A few days later........

I heard a knock on my door. It must be one of my brothers. They are so annoying, especially after that day. I hate them even more now, I can't believe that they actually went along with the plan. They lied to me, they knew it all along but didn't tell me about it. Are they happy that their sister is going to get married to someone that they hated so much to the core??

"JiNa~ Open the door for your oppa, can't you??" MinHyuk said.

I sat on the bed and threw a pillow that I hated the most towards the door, causing a deafening sound to his ears. "You're so noisy, don't bother me. I hate you the most!!"

I leaned my head against the door, trying to hear what goes on outside. What are they trying to do??

"She is really stubborn." I heard JiHyuk. Of course, I am not such an easy person as you think.

"I think that we would have to execute the final plan." What plan?? Do I know about it?? Wait... Don't tell me it is that they are trying to do...

The door might break apart if they did. I am already satisfied with the door that I have now. But I'm unsure that they might be just pulling a joke on me. I know what kind of people they are. They would not do it for real, or are they for real??

"Joo Ji Na, I give you three seconds to open the door or we will break the door." I heard MinHyuk Oppa said. So they are really going to do it...

"1............"

"2............"

"3!!!"

I immediately opened the door at 3, revealing myself to the outside world for the first time in 3 days. "You got tricked!!!" They both said and pushed me back into my room.

"Get out of the room the two of you. Don't you know that you guys are at fault??"

"That's why we are here to apologize," JiHyuk said.

"Really?? Then prove it to me." As soon as I said that, both of them began begging to the knees. They are too dramatic, I remembered that the two don't watch dramas. How come they knew so much??

"Even if you do that, I am still not going to forgive you. But on one condition.."

"What is it??"

"MinHyuk oppa, you break up with your girlfriend right now," I said with an evil smile.

"Dongsaeng, why are you like that??" He replied with sadness that I haven't seen before.

"Hyung, break up with her and she will forgive us. Quick!!" He smacked JiHyuk's head immediately.

"Not so easy. You quit your basketball team now." I said to JiHyuk.

"Seriously, babo dongsaeng... You are too savage. How can I do that??"

"Then why did you do that to me?? Why are you guys so cruel??"

"It is seriously not our fault, Appa told us not to tell you. It is his orders, how could we turn a blind eye to it??" MinHyuk oppa confessed.

"Even so, can't you tell me about it?? He wouldn't even know about it."

"But he told me that he would tell me to break up with my girlfriend if I told you." MinHyuk oppa said.

"And I would have to quit my basketball team if I do so. That's why we couldn't tell you." These guys are also forced by Appa... I feel sad for them somehow but pity them at the same time. But they are still my older brothers, we are related to each other since birth. No matter what, I still have to forgive them right?

"So JiNa?? What's your answer?? Would you forgive us?? We are still your brothers after all." JiHyuk said.

"Fine but next time I will not. I got enough of Appa's orders."

"Really?? You would forgive us??" MinHyuk oppa asked. He seems doubtful of my answer to him.

"Of course she would, she is so kind," JiHyuk asked, trying to convince MinHyuk oppa. They then turned their backs against me and discussed something. After a while, they turned to face me with an evil laugh. It seems that they have something up their sleeve. I have a really bad feeling about this.

"Get her!!!!" They said in unison.

Woohyun

I am being summoned to this household early in the morning. They told me that I needed to meet Mr. Joo in person. I bet that it is because I offended their father that Saturday evening. It was a night that I could never forget.

It's been 20 minutes since I arrived here but Mr. Joo is not here. Where the heck is he?? Joo Ji Na must be so sad that she didn't even go to class yesterday. She entirely missed our second rehearsal. I asked SungYeol about it and he said that she didn't want to meet anyone at all. It is not that I am concerned about her, it is just she is also involved in this arranged marriage thingy without even knowing that she was involved.

I saw a servant walking around and I asked her while she was going into another room. "May I know where is Mr. Joo?? I'm supposed to meet him personally and he is not here yet."

"Master Joo?? He is not here, he returned to Incheon on Sunday. Are you sure that you had an appointment with him??" He is not here??

"Yes, he just called me this morning."

"Mdm Moon, he has an appointment with us." I heard someone from behind. I turned around. It was Joo Ji Na's older brother, what is his name again??

"Master MinHyuk, you said that you had an appointment with him??" Appointment with him?? What is he saying??

"Yes, Mdm Moon. You can go back to what you are doing." She bowed to her brother and walked away from us.

"You said that I have an appointment with you, isn't it supposed to be your father instead of you??" I asked politely.

"Aren't I a Joo too?? The reason why you are here is to have a date with my sister." What?? A date with the tomboy?? Seriously?? I thought that they have called off the whole thing and I am supposed to be here to apologize.

"You mean that I have fallen into your trap again??" I asked in disbelief.

"You are quick. Luckily you are dressed nicely. She will be here in a moment."

"But--" I stopped when I saw the person that I don't want to see.

"Hyung, I'm done with her." The other brother dragged Joo JiNa out of her room. She looks different though. Seems like she put on too much makeup. What is that even?? A clown??
