"Hello, I'm Dongyun" Dongyun shake his hand
"Who are you? " Yoon ask
"I'm Jun's brother, also Hyo Joo nuna's friend" Dongyun said
"Hyo Joo friend? She never say anything about you" Yoon said
"Are you close with her?" Yoon ask with intimidated tone
"Dongyun-a, Hyo Joo said she will call you later. Turn out she her friends is have other plan and can't leave them soon" Alex said
"Ah, I just want to give this to nuna" Dongyun take a gift bag
"Oh, you can put at her room. if you give to me I'm afraid I'll forgot about it later" Alex said
"Her room at 2nd floor. You can see her name in front of the door. Just put it somewhere she can easily see" Alex said
Dongyun walk and enter Hyo Joo room. he really nervous. he never enter girls room before. Hyo Joo bedroom is simple and tidy. He look around for a while. Dongyun see many picture at Hyo Joo wall. most of them is her picture with her brother, some of then with Yoon, Jun, even Dae. but then Dongyun see something that makes him really flutter. Hyo Joo also put he and Hyo Joo pic together. it was when Dongyun graduated his middle school a week ago. they get a picture together, Jun took it for them. Dongyun then put his gift at Hyo Joo desk.
Dongyun then get out
"are you like Hyo Joo?" Yoon ask, he stand in front of Hyo Joo room
"I think I shouldn't answer it" Dongyun said
"I guess it's right " Yoon said
"but don't have high hope. Hyo Joo is mine" Yoon said
Dongyun then leave Hyo Joo house with bad feeling.
Without Alex knows Yoon sneak to Hyo Joo room and take Dongyun's gift, He opens the letter and read it. turn out its confession letter from Dongyun for Hyo Joo.
"oh you here?" Hyo Joo see Yoon inside her bedroom
Yoon spontaneously hide the letter
"ah, you're back" Yoon said
"yes, so tired. what is that?" Hyo Joo point at Gift in her desk
"oh, a boy named Dongyun give it for you" Yoon said
"really" Hyo Joo fell happy
"ah, can you go out this is privacy" Hyo Joo said to Yoon
"why? I want to see it too" Yoon said
"get out" Hyo Joo push Yoon and close the door
"Hyo Joo, Hyo Joo" Yoon call her
"go home, or play with Alex" Hyo joo shout from her room
Hyo Joo open the gift and it's a cat doll, so fluffy and cute. Hyo Joo hug the doll tightly.
Hyo Joo text Dongyun and send her pic with the gift
"thank you for the gift " Hyo Joo said
"nuna like it?" Dongyun typed
"yes" Hyo joo said
"let's meet tomorrow " Hyo Joo typed
"I'll treat you sweet dessert at Cafe " Hyo Joo typed
next day
Dongyun wait at the Cafe with pounding heart. He then see Hyo Joo walking towards Cafe but not alone, together with Yoon. Yoon link his hand around Hyo Joo neck. they look like a couple.
"Dongyun-a " Hyo Joo waves happily
Hyo Joo and Yoon sits together
"have you order?" Hyo Joo ask
Dongyun just shaking his head, he look down
"hey, I'm sorry I'm late. don't be sad okay. I'll treat you today, chocolate cake will be okay right?" Hyo Joo walk to the counter to order
"are you going out with Hyo Joo nuna?" Dongyun ask
"you can see it by yourself " Yoon said
"then why she not reject me directly " Dongyun sad
"ah, you can ask it by yourself " Yoon said
Hyo Joo comes
"what are you talking about?" Hyo Joo ask
"nothing " Dongyun said
"nuna, I have something to do. it's urgent, I'm sorry" dongyun grab his bag and leave the Cafe
"Dongyun-a " Hyo Joo call him and want to chase after him but Yoon grab Hyo Joo hand
"don't chase him. let him solve his urgent matter first " Yoon said
Hyo Joo think it makes sense, she plans to call Dongyun after she reach home. but Dongyun doesn't pick her call. she also text Jun but no reply yet.
Hyo Joo feel worried but she try to calm herself, say to herself that everything will be okay and if Dongyun still not pick up she will come to his house.
next morning Hyo Joo wake up and look at her phone, no reply from Jun or call from Dongyun.
"Oppa (older brother) can you accompany me to Jun's sunbae house?" Hyo Joo ask
"why, you cannot by yourself ?" Alex ask
"just, I feel something wrong" Hyo Joo said
"I want to go there faster" Hyo Joo said
"hm, actually I need to drop something at Yoon's . is it okay if we go there first?" Alex ask
"okay"
Hyo Joo and Alex goes to yoon's house.
the maid said Yoon at the bathroom, the maid said put the goods in the living room. Alex and Hyo joo enter Yoon's house and put the stuff in Yoon's living room desk. at that time Hyo Joo found a letter peek under the chair.
"oppa something fall off" Hyo Joo give the letter to Alex
"it's not mine" Alex said while organizing the stuff
Hyo Joo read the word at envelops cover
"to Hyo Joo nuna, from Dongyun"
Hyo Joo eyes get bigger when she read it, how can this letter at Yoon's?
"ah you come" Yoon dry his hair with towel
"yes, I'm in hurry, so just check it quickly " Alex said
"hyo joo! why you freezing" Yoon ask
Yoon then realized Hyo Joo hold something in her hand
"let me explain " Yoon said
But Hyo Joo just walk out from Yoon's house, Alex run and followed his sister
"what happened?" Alex ask when they already in the car
"just drive me to Jun's sunbae house, hurry" Hyo joo said with uneasy face
Alex know something happened and he knows his little sister is a really careful person, so he doesn't ask more
they arrive at Jun's and Dongyun's house. Hyo Joo ring the bell, the maid opem the door and said that no one at home.
"where are they going?" Hyo Joo ask
"I'm sorry they doesn't tell me exactly" the maid said
at that time Hyo Joo can't hold her tears anymore, she hugs Alex.
"oppa what should I do?" She said
Alex pat her hair and talk to the maid
"at least you know what their activities yesterday. it would helpful if you can give us a hint" Alex said
"hm... it's... our young master is going overseas for study. I don't know exactly when he will goes, but all family member busy take care of it since yesterday" The maid said
"thank you so much" Alex said
"let's go Hyo Joo-ya" Alex said
"but where?" Hyo Joo still crying
"let's go to the airport " Alex said
"at least let's try" Alex said
after 30 minutes they reach airport
"let's go Hyo joo, let's try until the end" Alex hold Hyo Joo hand and take his sister walk around to see if they can find them.
after a while, they frustrated and exhausted. they try call both Jun and Dongyun but none of them active.
Hyo joo sits at the chair, she can view bug plane gather at their position, ready to take off.
Alex crouching and hold Hyo Joo hand
"let's go back" Alex said
Hyo Joo stand and walk with Alex, when they walk at Airport lobby they can see Jun stand there. with a face that they never saw before. his face show sadness and regret.
"Jun sunbae" Hyo Joo run towards Jun
"glad to see you, where's Dongyun I need to..."
"I'm sorry" Jun said
Hyo Joo stop talking
"why?" Hyo Joo ask
"I'm sorry, I tried but he won't listen to me" Jun said
"I'm sorry Hyo joo. it's not your fault. my brother just little kid" Jun said
Hyo Joo take backwards step and hold Alex's hand
"oppa, let's go home" Hyo Joo said
"Hyo Joo..." Jun said
"it's okay sunbae, it's nit your fault either" Hyo joo try to smile even in bitterness
Alex drive the car slowly, checking on Hyo Joo all the way. his sister doesn't say a word or cry. it's make him more worried. he doesn't know what actually happened and he can't ask either.
when they arrive at home, Hyo Joo run to her room directly. she lock the door. her heart feel want to explode. that letter, doesn't has many words, it's just one simple sentence
"nuna, I like you, can you give me a chance to show it how much I like you in the future?"
Hyo Joo can't hold her tears anymore. Dongyun must be hate her so much that he leave so hurry.
next day
"Hyo Joo, this is me" Yoon knock Hyo Joo room
but no answer
Yoon walk down the stairs, Alex already stand waiting for his explanation. cause Yoon is the only one who can explain everything to him.
after explain everything to Alex, Yoon ask fir his forgiveness
"I'm sorry, I just act spontaneously. I want to say the truth but I keep make another lies" Yoon said
"I don't know if Hyo Joo also like that kid. but doing that kind of things is bad you know" Alex said
"like or not like it's Hyo Joo to decide" Alex said
"go home, let her make up her mind " Alex pat Yoon's back
"can you take my side?" Yoon ask
"I'm already on your side. if I'm not, I already punch you. you know how much I treasure my little sister" Alex said
Yoon leave Alex's house.
