Invisible Halos | San

23

San sits on his bed alone, waiting for Soojung to finish her shower. Yeosang occupies the other bathroom in their apartment while Wooyoung sits in the kitchen with a towel, waiting for his turn just like San.

He takes this moment alone to recall the two men that were looking for the twins. They must be staying in the hotel that he recommended to them, so not too far away. They'll find the twins in no time at this rate, especially since they work in the biggest supermarket in town. He tries to think up any ideas to make their search more difficult.

Suddenly, the bathroom door opens and Soojung's damp hair gorgeously drapes over her shoulders. The steam from the bathroom swirls behind her, making her look mystical. To San, she looks like an angel.

He rids his head of the thoughts momentarily though, needing to ask her a question.

"How do you feel about dyeing your hair?" he casually asks. "Why would I need to dye my hair?" she responds. "No reason...I just think you'd look really pretty with another hair colour. Not that you don't look pretty already, I just- you know what, I'll shut up" he sits back, palms growing sweaty.

Soojung giggles. "It's okay, I'll dye my hair! It seems fun anyway!" she excitedly states. "But I want to stick with a natural colour for now...what about dark brown?" she suggests. San lets out the breath he was unconsciously holding, relieved that she chose a colour that will help her blend in even more.

"That would look absolutely beautiful on you" he smiles while standing up, ready to wash up himself.

The twins and the owners of Woosan supermarket sit on the sofas, San sitting beside Soojung and Wooyoung sitting beside Yeosang. The young girl watches her brother and his friend talk while San thinks.

"Would you like to come to a party with me next Saturday?" he whispers into her ear. "Sure!" she agrees loudly, grabbing the attention of Yeosang. "What did you just agree to?" he asks. "I was just asking her if she wanted to eat some pizza for dinner" San answers for the girl, to her surprise. Yeosang sceptically glares at San.

"YES! I think pizza sounds great" Wooyoung squeals, softening Yeosang's expression. "Sorry but we should probably go home, Seonghwa will be expecting us" He explains. "Okay I'll tell Seonghwa that you're eating here instead." Wooyoung nods to himself, already standing up.

"No really, it's-" Before Yeosang gets to finish his sentence, Wooyoung has already rushed out of the house, slamming the door behind him. Yeosang jumps up in a panic and runs out behind the other boy with lilac hair.

"Now that we're alone, we can discuss things properly" San relaxes, lying back on the sofa. 

"Why did you lie to my brother?" Soojung asks, lightly hitting San's chest. Just as her fist is about to hit his chest again, he grabs it and harshly tugs on it, causing her to fall onto him. They both freeze and Soojung blinks twice in shock, face only a few centimetres away from San's. She gets lost in his deep brown eyes for a moment before squirming to get off, only to be stopped by San's arm firmly draped around her.

"Where do you think you're going?" he cheekily asks. Their proximity makes Soojung's face brightly glow red, except this time she doesn't have access to her hands to cover it.

"San! What are you doing? What if we're caught, Yeosang is going to-" Her eyes widen when suddenly San extends his face forward, joining their lips, similarly to when they were at the picnic a few hours ago. He keeps his mouth unmoving for a few seconds before pulling away.

"Why did you do that so suddenly?" she questions, taken aback immensely.

"To shut you up. Stop being so worried about your brother." he breathes onto her face gently, tucking a piece of her hair behind her ear. "Do you not like being this close to me?"

Soojung grows nervous. "It's not that...it's just..." she trails off.

"Just what?" he softly cups her face in his hand.

"People shouldn't be like this unless they're boyfriend and girlfriend, isn't it?" she innocently expresses her concern. However, she doesn't move her head an inch from its position on San's chest.

San bursts out laughing, the high pitch threatening to burst Soojung's eardrums. "Is that so? Would you like to be my girlfriend then?" he nonchalantly asks. She lets out a sharp gasp as her eyes shoot up to meet his.

"Do you really mean that?" she doesn't realise it but she's clutching San's shirt tightly in her small hand. His heart beats faster when he notices her adorable habits.

"Of course I do, are you implying that I'll be a bad boyfriend?" he playfully teases her, and she grows flustered. "No! I think you will be a great boyfriend..." she smiles, continuing to toy with his black shirt in her fist.

"I want to be your girlfriend." she shyly stuffs her face into his chest, avoiding his eyes. "Finally" he whispers, holding her tighter to him. They both stay quiet for a few moments, the only sound in Soojung's ear being San's rapid heart thumping to her ear.

"Are you scared?" she asks him, growing concerned over how fast his heart seems to be beating. "No, I've just wanted this for a very long time, princess"

Before she gets to respond, the front door shoots open again, causing San's grip to loosen for a second. Soojung jumps up in surprise, but without the support of San's arm, she quickly rolls off him onto the floor.

"I brought pizza!" Wooyoung screams, followed by Yeosang. "I finally managed to convince Yeosang and- wait Soojung, why are you on the floor?" his voice gets quieter as he gets more confused.

She starts to grow anxious. She's oficially dating San...but how long will she be able to hide it from her brother? She knows he will freak out. She imagines his reaction and makes a mental plan to tell San in private to keep this all a secret for the time being. Suddenly, a voice interrupts her thoughts.

"Oh by the way Yeosang, your sister is officially my girlfriend."
