You were turning to leave, deciding to go to your room now when Hansol reached for your hand and stopped you.
Gajima. Three minutes.
You looked at him, and biting your lip, you just nodded.
Gomawo.
Why did he ask this of you? Gyeol eventually broke off their hug and... *smack*
"Yah! Why are you hitting my head all of a sudden?! I'm still the older one here!"
You watched as Gyeol put both of her hands on her waist, looking like a chiding mother. Wow.
"How dare you make me worry?! You very well know that you can NOT just barge into the rain like that! Look! Look at your nose! Two days, give or take! Aish, jinjja, Oppa! I know you like her very much and I like her very, very much too-"
W-what is she talking about?
"-but please, your health? I swear to God if you get something worse than a fever, I'm calling Eomma. I. Swear. Or you can buy me the Harry Potter 20th anniversary special. It's either that or that." Gyeol spoke too fast, but you heard everything.

You remembered Soonyoung's voice in your head. Those tears are misplaced. You know now who she looks like. How could you be such an idiot?!
She's even more beautiful in person, compared to all those selcas Hansol has posted.
Hansol was just looking at Gyeol. "You don't mean that, Hangyeol. Mum'll be pissed off."
Hangyeol. It wasn't 'Hon,' but 'Han.' This girl is Sofia! Y/N, YOU ARE SUCH AN IDIOTIC POTATO-
Gyeol turned to you, grabbing your hand. He faced Hansol one last time. "But I do mean that, Oppa. Come on, Y/N-eonni. I'll help you change. And I'm really sorry for my beloved brother's idiocy. Come!~♡"
"SOFIA, COME ON-"
She started dragging you upstairs, seems like she already knows where your room is.

Reaching your room, you immediately pulled the jacket's zipper down. Why is it so big? ㅠㅅㅠ
Hangyeol saw you struggling with it, and immediately went to your rescue. "You know what, Eonni?"
"What?"
"I almost didn't wanna help you."
Ohmo. Does she not like you after all? But you like her very much, too. ㅠㅅㅠ
You cleared your throat. In the most pleasant and calm voice you can muster, you answered. "Why?"
"Because you looked so cute while trying to pull the zipper down, I wanna cry. ㅠ^ㅠ Also, it's the first time I saw Oppa's eyes shine like that. I'm- I hated myself for breaking the two of you off even for just a few minutes. I'm so bad. Mianhaeyo, Eonni. ㅠ~ㅠ"
"Oh-ohmo! Yah! You don't need to be sorry," you told her, "I actually needed a break from your brother."
She immediately looked up, "W-wae?"
"Well, he-"
"Did he hurt you or something?! Tell me, Eonni! We'll give that bitch the beating he deserves!" Then again, Gyeol returned to her usual overprotective self.

She's currently helping you pull the giant jacket off your arms now.
"N-nothing. It's just... I'm so worthless, oh my God."
Gyeol dragged you again to the dresser and started drying your hair with the blower. "Eonni, I've got questions."
You sat back the chair and replied, "Okay. Fire away."
"Will you answer truthfully? I need your reassurance that everything I'll hear is the truth," Hangyeol just casually said.
"Because you're cute and pure, okay, I will." And because it's only Vernon you can lie to. He's easy.
"Did you have a boyfriend before? Or someone that you like?"
"Yeah, I've had one."
Gyeol momentarily stopped from what she was doing. "Jinjja? Heol daebak. Wait, had one? So not anymore? Wae?! Eotteohke?!"
"W-what do you mean 'why' and 'how'?"
"Duh? You're like, jeongmal, neomu, aju yeppeuda? And super kind? And literally an angel? But without wings, hoho, why would anyone break up with you? I'm... confused?"
"It's not that I agree with all those... superlatives, but I kind of broke up with him, it wasn't him who broke up with me."
"Jinjja? Daebak~ So cool~ Why though? Is it okay to ask?"
You smiled at her. "I'll tell you someday when it doesn't hurt anymore. It was actually that breakup that made me... weary of boys. Thus, the fangirling started."

She smiled back then continued. "Eonni, why do I get that feeling?"
"What feeling?"
"That Hansol-oppa wasn't your first bias?" Oh my. This girl is good.
"Because you're right. He wasn't," you coolly answered, "it was Jeonghan-oppa."
Gyeol stopped again. "Mwo?! Jinjja? But..."
You looked at her. "But what?"
"N-nothing. So," she went on, "how come my brother wrecked the mighty Yoon Jeonghan?"
You laughed. "Mighty? Really? Oh well, I really don't know. I just started noticing him, I guess. How with all the songs he's got so much parts, but then off cam, he isn't... talking. It weirded me out. I paid more attention to his, I don't know, personality? Then maybe that's where... things went crazy."
"I want to hear more, Eonni."
"Okay, uhm, I started seeing how good of a dancer he is. And I've never loved rappers- not until I started... yeah. And I love his rapping, but everytime he switches to vocals..."
You weren't able to resist the feels so you grabbed the chair's throw pillow from behind you and screamed on it. "Everytime I see him, I want to scream my lungs out. Literally. Whatever he turns out wearing, all of them looks handsome in my eyes. Everything he does, from the really professional things like writing songs, to the really crazy ones like dancing weirdly as if he doesn't know how to... they're all adorable to me. Add it to the list that his stage name... I cried when they debuted, do you know that? Choosing your middle name guys, that was so sweet. I cried a lot of times, actually. I cried when he got that Lotto collab with Don Mills, I cried when I heard 병 for the first time, I cried when I watched Check-In-"
"Check-In? Why? It's like... so hiphop? Ohmo, don't tell him I watched it."
"I cried because he looked so handsome.
ㅠㅅㅠ Don't tell him he's my bias."
"Oh my God," Sof just ended up saying.

"You're not supposed to say Oh My God," you instinctively said back. "Sometimes, I cry before falling asleep because I can't help but feel damned lucky that I exist at the same time that he does. It's ridiculous, really. And now that I met him..."
Gyeol plugged off the blower and grabbed the beanbag to sit beside you. "What? You're disappointed?"
You kept on talking. "He calls me 'potato'. He made me carry a lot of coffee cups then he asked why I was carrying them, when he made me carry them in the first place. He made me carry eight full shopping bags. He got annoyed when he saw me wear shorts. He didn't agree when Jihoon-oppa and BooSoonSeok told me I was pretty. I don't agree, too, anyways. He thought I was a sasaeng. He calls me a liar. And unloyal. He cooked fries and did not let me eat some because he thinks it was cannibalism. He thought me thanking him was 'cringeworthy'. He said he likes me then told me that I should go to my other biases since I've got a lot of them. I could not understand him."
Hangyeol crossed her arms. "So you are disappointed."
"Not really. He bought all those coffee for Seventeen, you know. He even gave me one. He knows the only kind of coffee that I drink. He made me hug him during a whole bicycle ride just because I was trembling and scared we'll fall off. He rapped and sang with me a number of times, even if I wasn't a good singer. He let me sleep on his shoulder and lie on his lap, just because I can't stay awake. He thought I look like an angel when I'm sleeping. He bought me a giant burger as a peace offerring. He bought me not one, but two banana milk boxes. He moved me out of a bicycle's way. He called me 'my potato'. He laughed a lot on my worthless joke. He distracted me on my sadness when I was missing my mom. He... got wet in the rain so I wouldn't, when I didn't even bother if I got sick or what. He helped me get out the car a while ago when I couldn't, because of that gigantic jacket. He doesn't mind that I'm heavy, like a sack of potatoes. He brushed dirt off me, when I didn't even mind that I was dirty. He even picked a leaf off my hair. He makes my heart shake everytime I see or hear or think of him. He's absentmindedly making me love him with all the little things."

You were inwardly surprised when you saw Gyeol biting his fist. "Eonni... do you like Oppa?"
"No."
"You totally do! But why aren't you..."
"Sofia," you spoke, your throat tight for the first time in days, "I can't. I've only got, what, two months? What's gonna happen then? I'll go back home, he'll go on with his life. I can't risk it. It's okay if I got hurt, you see. I'm gonna be okay, this is my life. I'm used to seeing them from afar. Him- he can't be... attached to me. I'm just a potato. It's... I'm gonna be okay. And he doesn't even like me. Period."
Sof stared at you. "Do you really believe that, Y/N-eonni?"
"I have to. If you were me, a complete stranger, would you risk a relationship that won't even last for, what, two months? And with someone who's like, way out of your league?"
"For someone who writes novels, you're such a cynic."
"I'm a realist. And I write books of poems, not novels."
"Well, Eonni, I'll have you know that it's the first time my brother gets close to a girl other than myself. And I'll have you know that I'll make sure it wouldn't be an unpleasant experience for him."
