[Hellion Brothers: Book #5] Verglas

One

Before you start reading, this book is set after the on-going story 'Aequor Heart' ends, but since I'm an impatient author, I'm already updating. Don't worry, I won't leave you any spoilers from it. You already know what you need to know.

I hope you love her as much as you loved all the other characters. ❤

I glanced at my watch as I made my way towards the parking lot of our university. It was already 8:00 pm, but fortunately, I didn't have my Soccer practice today. It's a little tiring, being the head of Student Council in our university, but I don't back out from such responsibilities. I had to stay back for some extra work because of an upcoming fest and I had to make sure I've completed all the formalities. I thanked the other Student Council members for their work and headed towards my car.

As soon as I crossed the university gates, my phone vibrated in my pocket. I generally don't attend calls while I'm driving, but the caller ID flashed 'Yojeung'. I immediately swiped the green icon and put the phone on loudspeaker.

"Oppa, where are you?" She asked, her voice soft and innocent as always.

"I'm around our university. Why?"

"Can you buy me some snacks on your way?" She sounded distant as if she was walking around with the phone on loudspeaker.

"What do you want to eat?"

"Pepperoni Pizza with extra cheese, stuffed garlic bread and a White Chocolate Mousse to go with it. Like, for dessert." She replied. "That's all for me. You can add whatever you want as well." I couldn't help but let out a sigh at her answer.

"I thought you said snacks. That sounds like a whole course meal."

"Come on, the Pizza corner is on your way." She reasoned.

"The nearest one is in the exact opposite direction. I'll have to drive back towards our university." I replied, but when there was no response from the other line, I could already imagine her pouting. "Anything else?" I breathed out.

"No, that's it." She chimed.

I disconnected the call and looked at the road ahead. Tch, I'll have to take a U-turn now.

Yojeung is actually a really lovable little sister and I'm so happy to finally be with her, but times like this make me wonder. Do all younger siblings trouble the older ones like this? Because I really wanted to go home and sink under my warm blankets right now. Since it's early December, the weather is really cold.

I quickly ordered the food including Diet Coke because I know she'll want something to drink along with all that heavy food. After what felt like hours, my order was finally ready. I picked it up and walked outside the glass door, once again glancing at my watch. 8:30 pm. Still early, I guess.

On the sidewalk right outside the doors, I bumped into a figure. The impact must've been strong because the person fell right on their butt after bumping into me. It was a girl wearing a red and black school uniform, her hair tied into a high ponytail.

"I'm sorry, miss. Are you okay?" I asked in my usual mellow voice, even though it wasn't my fault. She was the one running without watching her track, but it's okay. I feel bad, since she fell down. I extended my hand towards her, but she stared at it and then looked up to me.

I immediately recognised her as the girl I met a few months ago. I don't know how I remembered her face so well when I only saw her for less than a few minutes, but I was sure. It was the same girl.

So, I'm just going to briefly explain what happened. I was walking by a coffee shop when I absentmindedly bumped into an unknown figure and that time, I admit it was my fault. She didn't fall or anything, but dropped her Ice Candy on the ground and as what she described, "It died." She looked at me like I committed homicide and the next thing she asked was, "How are you going to take responsibilty?"
