Love at the First...?

Jejudo

Sejeong cant believe in what she watched from her eyes through her instagram account though. Nayoung purposely posted an update about her went to the bridal with Wonshik and even showing off the lovely acts (well Wonshik ignored her for the whole video). She sighed, fuming mad when Wonshik not even pushed Nayoung when the girl is hogging his side. Didnt he know that Yeseul is suffering at home with all bruised. Sejeong feels angry for his ignorance and wonders if Yeseul aware of them both went to the wedding planner. Taekwoon decided to send Yeseul home last night together with Sejeong and Sanghyuk cant be shocked than ever when Yeseul came home with injuries.

Sanghyuk decided to leave his work aside for the whole three days only to take care of Yeseul even the girl demanded to be free. She doesn't want to make the situation worst and prefer to go work instead of staying at home under their care. The younger brother noticed how cold Yeseul was ever since she came home with Sejeong and Taekwoon, but he looks for the decent time to ask what had happened. He reach his phone on the table inside his room, looking for Taekwoon's phone number since he knew from Sejeong that Taekwoon found Yeseul's first.

"Hyung, can we meet up if you're not busy? I have few questions to ask about Yeseul noona," Sanghyuk nods when Taekwoon asked him to come to his cafe. He walks to Yeseul's room and see she is blankly staring outside the window- thinking of things that Sanghyuk don't know what it would be. "Get out, Sanghyuk," cold. Sighing, Sanghyuk enters the room and sit behind her before tapping Yeseul's shoulder to get her attention. "Will you tell me what happened noona? I can't stand to see you like this. If you not telling, I swear I will look for the person that did this to you," Sanghyuk warned but failed as Yeseul only ignores him.

"I saw Yeseul walking at passed the buildings and she looks suspicious. I think, I saw her protecting something in her long coat. Few minutes later, a guy in his 50s walked also to the same place as Yeseul so I decided to follow," Taekwoon explained to Sanghyuk from what he saw that day, before he managed to stop the person from beating Yeseul even more. However, he doesn't know what triggered Yeseul to hit the man first and that makes Sanghyuk to grimace. Why would Yeseul to hit a person, a stranger on top of that. What did she hide in her coat until makes Taekwoon to be curious. "Then hyung, did you saw his face?" Sanghyuk asked in curiousity. He really wanted to know who dare enough to lay his hands on Han Yeseul.

"I think he has a scar on his right cheek, like has been stabbed with a knife. An old scar," said Taekwoon before his worker comes in a interrupt their conversation. "Mr. Jung, your friend comes and said he wants to meet you,"

"Hakyeon?"

"No, the one that used to have purple hair," Taekwoon and Sanghyuk looks into each other's face. Wonshik must not know about this and nobody knows about it. Sanghyuk still doesn't have enough trust to his sister's boyfriend though and he has no intention on telling him what had happened. Plus, Sejeong said she saw Wonshik even went to the bridal when Yeseul in this state, makes him to burn inside. How can he can be so ignorant for going to the wedding planner when he already has a damned girlfriend. Taekwoon nods, letting Wonshik to come in with a grumpy face. Wonshik frowns when he saw Sanghyuk is inside the room together with Taekwoon but he doesn't bother to ask what business he has here with Taekwoon.

"Oh, Mr. Han. I know you might have the wrong idea here,but Yeseul didn't picked up my call for days. What happened?" Wonshik innocently asked Sanghyuk himself, ignoring the glares that he received from the younger. Sanghyuk can't help but to chuckle sarcastically. "You asked me why when you went to a damned bridal shop with Kim Nayoung. How do you expect my sister to answer your calls, Mr. Kim Wonshik?" said Sanghyuk with half yelling. Taekwoon, who has become the spectator at his own place decides to stop Sanghyuk from create a scene.

"You went to the bridal Kim Wonshik? Are you crazy?" Taekwoon questioned him and received a nod as the answer. "But I was forced! Its not that I want to. I only love Yeseul and only her, trust m-" he haven't yet finish his words, a fist has directly flew on his face, making Wonshik to stumble a few steps back. "Don't say that when you have someone else in your heart. My sister is not a toy that you can play around," Sanghyuk marched to the door and leave Wonshik and Taekwoon dumbfounded. Wonshik has stated his point and Taekwoon knows Wonshik's right. But Sanghyuk is just too mad to listen to any excuses.

Silent echoes in the huge house, no Hongbin yelling at Yeseul to stop the nonsense that she was up to and no Yeseul yelling back at the butler, being stubborn. Sanghyuk walks upstairs and see Yeseul is not inside her room, which making him to be furious before screaming inside the mansion for the maid to look for Yeseul immediately. He is so worried about Yeseul for not being herself but walks around without any destination. However, what he worried the most was what if the guy found Yeseul somewhere and beat her up again. Sanghyuk looks into every room inside the house and found his sister staring deeply into their parents' photo. With her mother's diary beside her.

"Sanghyuk-ah, you know that I trust you the most right?" Sanghyuk's eyes widened as Yeseul starts to talk normally with him, only with a sad tone of voice makes her different. Still, Sanghyuk nods as the answer, drawing a small on Yeseul's face. "If i tell you a secret, will you be hating on me and mother after this?"

"How can I hate on mother, when she is mine too. And you are my sister," Sanghyuk sat down and hugs Yeseul's shoulder, giving her confidence to talk whatever she has inside her mind right now.

"Noona.. actually a child out of wedlock," she turns her body, facing Sanghyuk who has a shocking expression on his face. His face makes Yeseul to slightly chuckles. She should have expected this kind of reaction from Sanghyuk at least. Of cours Sanghyuk won't believe in her though and thought she would spat out nonsense when everything is just painful truth. Sanghyuk still hanging speechless looking for the truth in Yeseul's eyes if she is lying. "Sanghyuk, I'm not lying. I am dirty, and I supposed you should take your hands off me," she shoves Sanghyuk's hand on her shoulders slowly, not making to be offended. She stands up and collect the diary and her parents photo before putting it inside a bag fulled of clothes.

"Wa-wait, noona where are you going?" Sanghyuk stops her before Yeseul get to put it inside the bag. "Oh, I want to go to Jejudo. Maybe for a week. I need to get my head straight," she put the things back inside and pats Sanghyuk's head a few times. Sanghyuk's eyes are glossy, as if he is holding his tears back not wanting to make Yeseul worried as her condition also are not good. "Will you be okay there?"he asked, again making Yeseul to smile. His frowns loosen a bit when Yeseul nods softly, letting the sister walks out from the room.

He wasn't denied when I asked him to-

"Noona!" Sanghyuk called from behind, stopping her tracks. Yeseul turns her back, and feel her body pulled into Sanghyuk's arms. Until she can feel Sanghyuk's warm breath on top of her head. "You are not disgusting, you are my sister and I don't care if you are an illegal child or not. You are still my sister who I treasured the most. Call me if you need anything and when you comeback, you have to keep up the strong face and intimidates your enemy. I'll be waiting here," Sanghyuk rubs her back before letting Yeseul go to find her own serenity.
