Falling for you

Chapter 1

Hyejin hurriedly rushed through her room checking if she'd left anything behind.It had been two years since she'd last seen her brother.The first few months were miserable for Hyejin,having no will to continue what she was once passionate about.But when he came to visit,her spirits were lifted and she had the motivation to give everything her all to make her brother proud.She was sad when he left again but that didn't stop he rfrom pushing herself over the limits.In fact,she ensured to put in more effort.Working harder than ever before.

Now that she was moving to Seoul for her work,she just may be able to meet her brother again.They'd called each other,sure.But that didn't stop her from missing him dearly.She wanted to see her brother face to face.Give him a hug.To talk about their lives and boys.To talk about friends,family.But most importantly,to be in each other's company.She couldn't ask for anything more.

And the fact that she'd become an actress and model situated in Seoul.It helped her in many more ways than one.She'd earned her fame and money through hardship.Not because her brother became an idol.No.It had nothing to do with that.She worked into the late nights finishing shoots.

Waking up in the wee hours of the day to ensure she gets to the photoshoots on time.Her hard work was paying off after years of her being in the industry.She'd beem modeling for brands as early as 8 years old.Even when her brother was still with her and her parents in Daegu.

"Hurry up,Hyejin!"Her mother called.They'd be leaving all the furniture here for if ever they decided to come back for the holidays.Or if her parents decided to come back here.They were only coming with her as they had a business to attend to for a branch of their company in Seoul.

"Coming,Eomma!"she called.She grabbed her massive luggage and her backpack-the only things she would be bringing with her to Seoul.She saw no point in bringing everything along.She grabbed her phone from the bedside table and hurriedly put on her sunglasses and mask.

Upon stepping out of the house,the chilling autumn breeze blew at her,sending her black hair flowing behind her.She smiled at her parents who were waiting beside the sleek matte black car parked in the massive driveway.Towering front gates wide open ready for departure.

"Sorry,eomma,appa.I had to make sure I didn't leave anything behind."she said,scratching the back of her neck sheepishly.Her parents simply smiled,giving her a loving kiss on the cheek before they started to drive the car out the driveway to the airport.

She pushed her sunglasses up higher the bridge of her nose and pulled the mask up a little more.She sat in her first class suite and turned her head away towards the window,watching as the men drove carts of luggages through the runway.She closed her eyes and sighed softly.Her parents had seats else where in the plane.Most probably in their individual suites.

Many may think that having to sit in a first class suite was too much considering it was a rather short flight.But to them,and to their managers,it was understandable.Considering their status in the korean society.Hyjin being a top korean model with her parents being well affiliated business men.Their company being one of the top in the whole of korea and quite possibly the world.

"Miss?"came a female voice.She opened her eyes and looked at the flight stewardess.

"Yes?"she mumbled,turning her head towards the lady,smiling softly.

"Hot towel?"the stewardess smiled.Hyejin nodded and held out her hand as the stewardess passed the hot towel.

"Thanks."she mumbled,carefully unfolding the hot towel and wiped her face.She then placed it into the cart that was being pushed by another stewardess collecting the hot towels.

She opened her purse and took out her phone and smiled at her wallpaper of her and her brother.With her brother's arms wrapped lovingly around her waist.They were very close.Inseparable even.Her chin was rested on her head while she smiled brightly at the camera.Their closeness was what made his goodbye painful.A year and a half...it was how long she hadn't seen her brother for.

"Oppa ya...I miss you.You know that?"

"Seungcheol oppa ya...do you still even know who I am?"she mumbled.She unlocked her phone and dialed her brother's number.

"Oppa?...Ah...okay...of course...okay.I'll wait...Ne...Annyeong~"she said.

She plugged her AirPods into her ear.She'd finally see her oppa.After so long.She'd finally see the smile she missed.He'd be picking her up-well,his manager after parting ways with her parents.

She continued to stare out the window of the plane as she watched it take off into the white fluffy clouds in the sky.

As soon as Hyejin landed,she grabbed her luggage and her backpack,making sure her mask and sunglasses were still on her face before making her way out the plane.

"Hyejin ah~"a feminine voice called.Hyejin turned behind her and smiled sadly.

"Goodbye eomma,appa.Remember to get enough rest okay?Don't stay at the company too late.Eat your breakfast,lunch and dinner.Also-"

"Hyejin ah~"her mother laughed,kissing her daughter's cheeks lovingly.

"Your appa and I will be fine.You nag at us more than we do you.Take care of yourself alright?"her mother said.

"Nae~"

"Hyejin."Her father said,his usually stern eyes soft and warm,showing affection for his daughter.

"Say hello to Seungcheol for us.Send him our love and apologies for not being there since their debut.Take care of yourself okay,princess?"Her father said.Hyejin nodded and gave her parents a kiss on the cheek and a hug.

"Annyong appa,eomma."Hyejin said before going through their separate ways.

As she went through the immigration gate and out the gates of the airport,flashes of the cameras greeted her.She silently cursed.She may be a well known model and actress but this isn't what she expected.

She looked around for a sign that her brother had said would have her name on.On the other side of the line,there was a male holding a rather large sign with her name on it.

"Choi Hyejin Lily"she whispered and smiled softly.She hadn't been called that in a really long time.As she made her way down the isle where there were security guards holding fans back,a little boy called out her name.

"Hyejin noona?Can I have an autograph?"he asked,holding up one of her albums from an entertainment.She took the pen from him and crouched down to his level.

"Hello~"Hyejin said after taking off her mask.She wrote a few words in the album and passed it on to the boy and stood up.

"Saranghamida.I'll always love you dream high and dream big.Noona believes in you."he read.He looked up at Hyejin and smiled,his eyes twinkling.

"Kamsahabnida,noona!"he said,gaving her a hug.She crouched down again and returned the hug.She ruffled his hair lovingly and told him to go back to his mother.He nodded happily and ran back into the crowd.

She stood up and put her mask back on,looking down and using her hair to curtain herself from the blinding flashes of the cameras.She made her way towards the man with her luggage and bag.

"Are you perhaps Choi Hyejin?"he asked.She nodded.He beckoned her to follow him towards a black van,pulling the door open for her and shutting the door after she got in.She took off her black mask and her sunglasses and sighed.The drivers' door slammed shut and her brother's manager came back in after placing her luggage in the trunk.

"Nice to finally meet you,Hyejin ah.Your brother has been waiting."he smiled and faced the front of the car.Hyejin's eyebrows furrowed in confusion.Just then,someone popped up from behind her.

"Boo!"he yelled.Hyejin jumped in her seat,clutching at her racing heart and rested her forehand in her palms propped up on her lap.Chuckling was heard from behind her.She looked behind her and saw her oppa chuckling.She hit him on the head.

"Don't do that oppa!"she said but laughed along.Seungcheol climbed over the seat and sat beside her.

He ruffled her black hair and pulled her in for a hug.

"Hello,Hyejin.Welcome to Seoul."he said as soon as the car started to move.

"Nae.Thanks oppa."
