Chapter Seven
“How in the world did you sustain this injury?” asks Hyoyeon as she walks into the back room where the medicine was located trying to look for something that would help with the bruising and avoiding an oncoming headache.
“Tiffany…”
“Say no more. You do know what’s going to happen in the morning when you come down the stairs and father sees you with this large bruise on your head?” snaps Hyoyeon as she emerges with a couple of bottles and rags.
“Yeah…I’m going to get a ‘don’t do it again because you’re the heir to the Kim legacy’ lecture and you’re going to get a ‘you need to take better care of your sister because she’s the heir and that’s your duty’ lecture. Followed with adding on to the years of when I can touch the trust.”
“Yeah,” responds Hyoyeon while freezing for a bit, knowing that that wasn’t the lecture she always recieves, “well I hope this is all worth it.”
“It was,” responds Taeyeon proudly. Hyoyeon gives her a questioning look, “I got a kiss!”
“Taeyeon!” Both girls freeze as their father’s voice echoes throughout the house. “Taeyeon! Hyoyeon!” Hyoyeon looks at Taeyeon before brushing some of her hair to cover the bruise just as the door opens allowing for their father to peek their head in. “What are you guys doing in here?”
“Hyo pricked her finger at work earlier, we were just washing and cleaning the cut to avoid any infections, and she has a bruise, so we were removing that,” answers Taeyeon as she hops off the counter, “is there anything you need?”
“I was just coming to see how your studies were going, since I’ve been busy lately. And you’re private tutors have explained to me that you are not going to your sessions.”
“We’ve been busy with work,” answers Taeyeon while helping Hyoyeon clear up the stuff that was never used.
“Maybe I should have you girls stop working and spend more time studying.” Taeyeon stops and quickly turns around, allowing for their father to spot the small mark on her head. “Taeyeon, come here.” She backs away before taking off running into the back room dragging Hyoyeon with her.
“What do you think you’re doing?” hisses Hyoyeon as she tries to keep up with her sister.
“Avoiding a lecture,” answers Taeyeon as they hop over stuff, going in and out of the many rooms their house possess.

“You kissed her!”
“On the forehead,” responds Jessica as she makes her way to her room.
“But you kissed her!”
“Tiffany stop acting like that…you’re going to wake up-“
“Where have you two been?” Both girls stop and turn around to see the youngest child looking at them arms crossed.
“Go to sleep Krystal, don’t you have school tomorrow?” The youngest girl rolls her eyes before walking back into her room allowing for the older ones to resume their previous discussion.
“Why’d you kiss her?” asks Tiffany while pouting.
“It was on the forehead!” responds Jessica highly annoyed. “I’m going to sleep,” she turns and looks at Tiffany, “goodnight,” she walks into the room and closes the door leaving Tiffany out in the hall.
“But-”
“It was on the forehead!” comes Jessica’s voice through the door. Tiffany could only smile before she makes her way to her room.
