"Yoo Na?! What happened?" Seokjin yells as he runs towards her who was being dragged inside by the elder with much difficulty, Seokjin takes Yoo Na from the elder's hold and eyes him with a questioning gaze but not a word escaped.

"She fainted. I am glad she is much better now. " The old man speaks caressing her hair and flashing a small smile while she returns it back with her weak one. Seokjin frowns looking back at Yoo Na, "You should have stayed back home if you were sick. " He says with a concerned gaze.

"I am fine..." Yoo Na mumbles feeling her dry throat ache as she spoke, "Let me help you to room. Thank you so much, uncle Choi. " Seokjin says bowing his head down and smiling at him. The elder smiles nodding his head, "It's my pleasure. Get well soon, miss. "

With that the elder makes his way out while Seokjin leads her upstairs, a few sighs escaping his lips.

"I wonder why you are getting hurt so frequently. " He mumbles worried for her health, "I am fine..." She mumbles weakly while Seokjin scoffs. "Yeah, I can see that. "

"I just need to rest... then I will be fine. Really. " Yoo Na mumbles with a pout while Seokjin opens the door with his feet bringing her into the room and helping her lay down on the bed.

"Just rest then. " He says tucking her inside the blanket. "I will bring you something to eat. " He mumbles caressing her head and smiling at her.

"No, I don't have an appetite..." She mumbles looking at Seokjin through her eyelashes, "Say no more. Stay tight and wait for food to come. " He says patting her head with a tight smile while he walks out of the room.

Yoo Na eyes his figure disappearing from her sight and a sigh escape her lips, she looks around as her thoughts start getting collected and whatever she could think was only him. She wished he would change his mind, she recalled a part of her memory she made in her past life.

She remembers the way he saved her out of the darkroom her bullies had locked her in, she had always came across the darkroom despite her will, and yet again the same scenario happening again. She hated how she always get thrown into a dark room when she clearly hates it, why couldn't god see that she didn't want that.

"Why is it that god always troubles me with darkroom...? " She lets out a drop of tear as she got stressed the more she pondered about the thoughts.

The day went by with Yoo Na being worried and dubious of her situation after her parents finding out about the current situation. She was currently at the dining table and staring at the food before her.

"Why are you so down?" Seokjin questions as he walks in with a tray in his hand, he grabs the glass of juice from the tray and places it in front of her. "Drink this. I heard they are coming now to pick you up. " He mumbles placing the tray aside, Yoo Na freeze hearing him.

Her spoon falls down with a clacking sound landing against the plate first then on the table, Seokjin frowns watching her in surprise. "What happened?" He questions bending down on his knees and watching her as she went pale.

"Why...?" She questions still looking at her plate in a daze, "I have no idea. "

"Why do you look so pale? Yoo Na-ah, tell me if something is troubling you. " Seokjin says turning her body around and making her face him, he grabs both of her palms and caresses them as he looks up at her while she had her head hung low.

"I-I..." Yoo Na trails squeezing her palms trying to receive the comfort she had been searching for, he frowns getting concerned at her breaking down in front of him.

"Yoo Na-ah, brother will always be there for you, hmm? Do not hesitate to talk to me, please. " He says pulling her close to him and hugging her tight, his right hand went up to her head as he caressed her lovingly while his left hand remained on her back-patting it ever so softy giving her all his warmth, she indeed received his love he was trying to convey through his words and actions.

"I-I... an s-so lucky to have you, brother. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me all this time. " She says sniffing with her tears rolling down her cheeks to chin uncontrollably, Seokjin felt his eyes tearing up at her words.

"You are also the best thing that happened to me. You know I never regretted being here as a butler, not when I have such a wonderful sister who loves me so much. " He chuckles slightly when he felt Yoo Na hugging him tighter, "You are making me emotional. " Yoo Na chuckles slightly making Seokjin laugh at her words.

"I really mean it, you are my home and my responsibility. I do not care what other think. " He says pulling away from the embrace, Yoo Na pouts with a smile trying to fight its way, "Brother... can we ever escape this place? I really hate living here. " Yoo Na sighs heavily.

"Hmm, I don't know. Will I ever make it? I really want to but I will make sure I will protect you so don't you worry. " He says smiling and patting her head while Yoo Na nods her head.

"Now come on, eat up already. I don't want you to starve. " He says nudging Yoo Na to stand and get back on the chair, she sits and starts feeding herself with a smile. She indeed was grateful to have him, she always dreamed of a brother and she was glad god heard her and gifted her one ever since the beginning.

"They are here. " A man walks in running after a while with a horrified expression, "Why do you look scared?" Seokjin questions cleaning the table while Yoo Na was seated them patiently waiting for her parents.

"They do not look happy... they seem to be in bad mood. " Hearing those words Seokjin frowns while his eyes automatically searches for Yoo Na but he met a rather horrified and disturbed gaze and he was scared. He didn't have any idea but seeing Yoo Na so disturbed he was getting anxious.

"Did something happen, little bear?" He questions again while Yoo Na hangs her head low as her palm balled in a fist against her skirt which was crumbling the more she squeezed.

"They are here!" The same male whisper-yells catching both of their attention, they both had their eyes on the door which was wide open with two figures walking in with an expressionless face.

"You!" Soo Min yells pointing her fingers at Yoo Na while she flinches back, she doubts not the hair on her sit remained flat. Seokjin walks closer to her letting her know he is around, Yoo Na slowly stands up on her feet and extending her trembling hands to grab her bag from beside her.

"Follow us out and get into the car!" Soo Min yells as she walks out with Chan Ho following her behind. Yoo Na felt a shiver run down her spine, she looked down when she saw Seokjin squeezing her hands.

"I will be fine, brother. " She says with a reassuring smile before she walks out of the door with a worried Jin inside anticipating what the situation was.
