"Hyung! Where should we go this weekend?" Rin asked, sitting on Jin's lap.

They were well off from anyone's sight.

"Let's go to that mukkbang place!" Jin replied with a smile, his hands around her waist.

"No! Let's get fried chicken and cold noodles! We will go to that Halmeoni's place." Rin replied with a mischievous grin.

"Will you hear me anyway?" Jin gave her cheeks a kiss.

"Hyung! We are at school! I don't want anyone finding us here." Rin scolded him playfully.

"Hmm... Shall we go somewhere else?" Jin teasingly asked her.

His reply was a sweet laughter.

He started tickling her.

"Hyung! Hyung! Ha... ha... ha... Oppa! Oppa! No! It tickles!" Rin's laughter echoed in his ears.

"I wish I could hear you calling me Oppa every time!" Jin sulked like a baby, pouting his lips.

"Aigoo..." Rin left out a giggle, as she took his face on her palms and kissed on his pouting lips.

A surprised Jin looked at her with increasing astonishment.

"We have classes soon! Come! Let's go!" Rin jumped off from his lap, and walked towards the door.

"I must steal you to the rooftop every now and then!" Jin sighed.

"Bleh!" Rin stuck her tongue out and ran down the steps, Jin following her.

"Choon He! Wake up! It's time to have breakfast." Taehyung gently waked his cousin.

"You looked happy! Was that a good dream?" Taehyung asked.

"Hmm!" Rin replied silently.

"Rin-ah!"

A pair of thin, yet strong hands flung over her.

"Ha Ra! What are you doing here? Don't you have classes?" Rin asked her cousin sister questioningly.

"Yes! But you are important." Ha Ra replied with an angelic smile.

"Park Ha Ra! You are a medical student! You are not supposed to roam around." Rin sighed.

"Come on Lee Seul Rin! Can't I come to see my beloved cousin?" Ha Ra raised her brow.

"Fine! Fine! Just don't let this harm your studies." Rin gave up.

"I won't! Look at you caring for others when you are the one to be taken care of!" Ha Ra teased her cousin.

"You are so done, once I get off this bed!" Rin warned jokingly.

"Taehyung-ah! Long time no see!" Ha Ra turned her attention to Taehyung, giving him a hug.

"How are you Ha Ra?" Taehyung greeted her.

"I am fine! If I don't take this lady's nagging into consideration!" Ha Ra replied, pointing at Rin.

Rin let out a ripple of laughter.

Taehyung looked at his cousin with a warm smile. This was the first time in three years, he had seen her laugh.

The three cousins, talked all about their universities and fought over which was the most difficult, concluding that each had its on perks.

They didn't know when the doctor came in.

"Seems like you are doing fine!" The doctor smiled at Rin.

"Yes, doctor-nim!" Rin smiled back.

"Well then... You can be discharged by tomorrow." The doctor replied, checking her vitals and other necessities.

"Thank You, doctor-nim!" The cousins replied in unison, surprising the doctor and the accompanying nurse,

They all burst out into laughter.

After the doctor and the nurse left, Rin turned to Taehyung, asking where her friends were.

"Ae Chan went back home, since you were not to be disturbed. She will return by noon. The others might accompany her then." Taehyung replied with a straight face.

"Hmm!... Taetae, I have to see Jin Hyung, for once. I need to tell him the truth, whether he believes or not!" Rin smiled sadly at her cousin.

"No! There's no need for that! I will talk to him!" Taehyung firmly replied.

"What do you want to tell him?" Ha Ra piped up.

"I... I..." Rin's sentence broke, as Ha Ra's phone blared out.

"It's Hoseokiee!" Ha Ra replied turning red.

"Let me take his call!" Ha Ra continued, rushing out of the room.

"It's been a few days I guess, since Hoseok called her. What was I doing? Setting up all of my friends with you?" Rin laughed.

"You must take responsibility! You were the link!" Taehyung smiled.

Rin smiled, nodding her head.

"What were you going to say?" Taehyung dropped the topic back to track.

"I and Seung Ho oppa weren't dating. Not behind his back or now. He is a brother to me, like you. And moreover, he has someone he likes. It was all a misunderstanding. I know that you mistook him too." Rin told what she was about to say then.

"But, you could have made it clear back then!" Taehyung mused thoughtfully.

"I never got the chance! Minsuh had thrown fuel to fire!" Pain and rage were evident in Rin's eyes.
