Yesung's POV
“Out. Gone for a few days of work. Sleep with your bandmates,” is what the note, on the sticky note attached to the door, said. I pluck it off only to find another reminder behind it. “Or to your girlfriend.”
I sigh. Just when I finally have a solution to my problem, this happens. My planned plans for the following days are canceled. It was unnecessary to tell me where to go; I know them very well even without being told. Liya’s place is out of the list.
Looks like today’s noon’s plans are changed.
“Ah lelele~ If it isn’t Jongwoon!” I turn to the side and immediately set my eyes on a 30-year-old looking man. He is wearing casual attire and a bright expression on his face.
Now this is awkward. He knows me but I don’t have the slightest clue who he is. Should I pretend not to hear him?
“Haha, it has been years since I last laid my eyes on you. Though what I can recall are pictures of you that my younger sissy showed.”
“Younger sissy?”… Could he be, “Inyeong’s brother?”
My fiancé’s older sibling laughs to his heart’s content. Did I mention something wrong? “I knew it; you don’t recognize my face. Of course you don’t. Haha..!”
Ok~ay. I didn’t had a clue that Inyeong’s brother is this… odd. Now I have an idea where her bits of weirdness come from.
“You free? There are stories I want to tell you.”

By “free” I did not mean very “free”. I am afraid that I might miss my next schedule if I lose track of time too much.
Eunyeong hyung ushers me to a seat in a corner. “We’ll have some privacy here,” I hear him saying. He gestures for me to take the seat across him. A serious atmosphere builds up after moments of silence.
We came here, in Photo Coffee, after he said he wanted to discuss an important matter with me. Although I do not see why it is really important to have the discussion here, I still followed. My guess is this “matter” has something to do with her sister. A brother with an engage sister calling for the attention of her fiancé, surely, the subject would be something about the engagement. Probably…
“I actually have something to confess to you,” he said with an apologetic tone and makes me wonder what it is. “Truthfully, it was me who lost your jade bracelet gift for my sister.”
… What?

Narrator’s POV
Years ago, at Hwang Residence back in Cheonan...
“Oh!” Hwang Inyeong’s item digger brother found a pretty jade bracelet in one of his sister’s drawers. He stares at the accessory with amusement. The details are exquisite and very neat to look at. Eunyeong continues to scan the whole thing. He finds a caption somewhere underneath, “My Star is You”.
“Yah! Oppa!” a loud scream came from the end of the girl’s room. “Don’t touch that!”
A sly idea pops from the brain of her sneaky brother. “Aigoooo! Your boyfriend is so sweet, ain’t he?”
The blushing female student covers her brother’s loose mouth. “Ssh! Keep it down! Mother and father might hear you!” Both Mr. and Mrs. Hwang know nothing about her relationship with her senior; which is why she is panicking. Ineyong is afraid her parents would get a hint of things once they see the exposed bracelet. She expects them to ask questions and fears she might not answer them well enough to satisfy her parents. The thought of breaking up with her boyfriend is making her worry from the inside.
