Previously,

"YangYang-ah! When did you come here?" I ask him, startled. "Just now! Well I see you'll be wal-- oh hey little guy!" I look down to see Chibi caressing YangYang as if he has known him for long. But fun fact, YangYang doesn't know I have a puppy. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------YangYang's POV

I had dropped by Minhee's place to give her back her notes which I had borrowed from her for a test.  I haven't exactly been to her place but have seen it from outside. It is pretty close to mine. I reach her house and notice that the door was open. 

At the present moment, I find this cute looking little pup licking my feet. "That's my dog, Chibi." "Wow! You have a pet! So lucky dude.. I wish I had one..." I say, picking the tiny little puppy and holding it in my arms. "You didn't answer my question." "Oh right! I was here to give you back your notes. But since you are walking to school alone and I am walking to school alone, why don't we go together?" "Fair enough." She shrugs. "But first let me eat my breakfast, K?" "Fine fine." 

I sit on the dining  and take Minhee's dog on my laps petting it. "So, what's it's name?" I ask playing with (fire) it's fur. "His name is Chibi." "Chibi, nice name, wait, it's a he?" "Uhum--" I realized that her mouth was full. Wow she eats like a kid. It's cute.. Liu YangYang cut it!

"Stop staring at me while I am eating--" Well that is what she said, but this is what it sounded like, "Stwop stawing aw meh whiwe I'm eawting--" "You know what? First finish eating then talk." "Owkay." Soon she was done with her breakfast and we were on way to school. 

"Isn't Dahyun unnie walking to school with you?" Minhee asks. I just sigh. Noona's recent weird behavior. It isn't recent anymore, it has been a long time since she's been acting like that. Weird as in distant, sad and regretful. "YangYang, I asked you a question." Should I tell her, should I not. Well, she knows about it anyways. "LIU YANGYANG DO I HAVE TO REPEAT IT IN CHINESE FOR YOU TO UNDERSTAND?!!! I ASKED WHY ISN'T DAHYUN UNNIE WALKING TO SCHOOL ALONG WITH YOU?!!! (Bold for Chinese) Seriously, dude, did you not get enough sleep or something?!!" "Well it is-- wait you know Chinese?" I asked. I didn't know she spoke Chinese. Wait, that means SHE UNDERSTANDS WHATEVER I SAY TO MYSELF IN FRONT OF HER?!! OH DAMMIT, I AM INTO SOME SERIOUS TROUBLE...

"Yes I do. You sure know me well. Now answer my question without getting lost in thought." 

"Okay fine. Remember how I told you about Dahyun unnie acting weird lately? It is getting weirder and weirder everyday. It is like we live in the same house but on different planets. She leaves for school earlier than I do and returns home quickly as well. Most of the time she isn't anywhere to be seen. When she is at home, she is in her room. She won't talk to anyone these days. Not even eomma and appa. And you know what? The other day I saw bruises on her left arm. It is just too much. I am really concerned. Firstly I thought that she just needs some time to herself, but it is really getting out of hand."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Minhee's POV

He was concerned. I mean, like, it was all over his face. He had a tone of distress while speaking. I could figure out that he really loved and cared for his sister and would kill anyone who even touched her. "When did you become this mature and understanding?" His concerned look wears off as a smile come on his face. "Seriously Hee.." He says chuckling. For a moment time stopped. I noticed his eyes for the first time. My heart was beating really fast. Okay Kim Minhee, that is REALLY, I tell you, REALLY REALLY REALLY cringe! Stop thinking dude!

"....Right?" I realized that YangYang was telling me something and I didn't hear a thing of what he was saying. "Uhmm.. yeah.." That is the only reaction I could give to him. Thankfully we reached school. "Let's head to class."

We enter the school to find the usual chaos, people talking, some reading, some doing their homework in a haste, some freaking about a test which they hadn't prepared for and some carrying their projects to the science lab. I figured those are the kids from our grade. We had a Bio project we had to do and some kids had their presentation today. I remember Jungwoo telling me that his and Sooyun's presentation is today as well. Well, I don't have Bio today anyways, I have Physics tho.. 

?- BACK OFF PEOPLE!!

??- REALLY IMPORTANT PROJECT, COMIN THROUGH!!!

?- MIYEON YOU CAN DO YOUR HOMEWORK IN THE CORNER PLEASE!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sooyun's POV

I was having a really hard time holding on this project of ours. Me and Jungwoo were practically YELLING our way through the hallways. I was holding one end of it while Jungwoo was holding the other. That means that he was walking backwards. "Guys! That is huge.." I see Minhee approaching. "STOP RIGHT THERE MIN!" "Okay fine fine. Want me to help out?" "Too many cooks spoil the broth, Hee. We will manage. Just get out of the way." Jungwoo says. "And you can talk later Mr. Kim. You are walking backwards." "Oh right.." "JUNGWOO STO---"

Jungwoo bumped into Minhee and she toppled over her feet. As if on cue YangYang came in front of her and Hee fell right on top of him. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

YangYang's POV

This was extremely weird. Our faces were barely an inch apart. "WHY CAN'T I BUMP INTO SOMEONE WHO IS NOT YOU?!" "I don't think I know the answer but I DON'T ENJOY THIS EITHER!!" It was really weird talking right now considering that we could feel each other breathing ,which was really disgusting. "Guys you okay?" Sooyun comes in. We get up, brushing off our clothes. "We're fine? What about you're project?" "Thankfully, nothing happened to it, it is in the lab safe and sound." Jungwoo says coming into the scene. "Well-- just then the bell rang. "Let's talk later at lunch then." We all nod and leave for our class.

<<<Time Skip to the end of the day>>>

3rd Person's POV

After a hectic day, the four gather and decide to go to Jungwoo's place to have some fun. Sooyun informed Chan on call. Minhee tried calling her brother, but for some reason his phone was switched off.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jungwoo's POV

Presently, all of us were at the arcade, playing games. Just then the bell rang. "I will get it--" Sooyun was going but I stopped her. "The maid will do that." "Oh ya, right, rich people stuff, can't relate. I am broke." I giggle at the way she said that. All of a sudden the maid comes rushing in. "MR. KIM PLEASE COME DOWNSTAIRS IMMEDIATELY!!" "Okay first calm down a bit noona. Now tell me, what happened?" "THERE ARE TWO PEOPLE AT THE DOOR AND THEY ARE  BRUTALY INJURED!" "What?! Who are they?" 

"They tell their names to be Seungmin and Dahyun, Mr. Kim."
