As Ryu Yejoon found themselves a place to have lunch, he stopped the car, and seeing that, she was about to remove her seatbelt to get down from the car. But before she was able to do that, he voiced out, “Stop.” Wondering what he was up to now, she raised one of her eyebrows, and the corner of his lips curved to form a smile. Moving closer to her, he stared at her in that way again as if he was trying to seduce her. As much as Yura wanted to remain unaffected, it is an undeniable fact that he was an attractive man. She was starting to think that maybe she did not look at him as a younger brother in the first place or else how did something like this cross her mind. She believed that Ryu Yejoon’s words had something to do with it. Since he said to try to stare at him in that way, now she found herself subconsciously trying to assess him with such thoughts in her mind. Words couldn’t explain how guilty she felt for having such thoughts, but since this can not be helped, she did no

“You are not really taking me to meet those friends of yours? Seriously? I never thought that you would have this disobedient side to you. Didn’t you say that you will fulfill all of my wishes? Come on! I want to see those friends of yours,” she voiced out, staring at the man with hopeful eyes. Ryu Yejoon and Yura laid on his bed while the two of them watched a movie on the laptop. During this entire period, Yura was dying of curiosity of who his friends could actually be. But it seemed that the man was determined of being silent about it. Nonetheless, she wanted to keep this up with him and show him that she will be the winner at the end of it. “I am not agreeing to that,” he answered, shifting his eyes to the screen in front of him. “Why? Mirae mentioned that it was because of how I might accidentally fall for one of your friends since all of them are charming. But I am pretty sure that’s not the case. You are not that silly. Then why are you—” Before she was able to continue f

As Yura walked out of the car, Ryu Yejoon moved towards her and hugged her from the back. As his hands wrapped around her waist, she raised one of her eyebrows, waiting for his next set of actions. “Do you really have to go and meet him? You know that he is not a good guy and clearly dangerous,” Ryu Yejoon voiced out. This wasn’t the first time Yejoon tried to convince her out of trying to visit Youngjae, but what could she do if she wanted to check up on him every now and then? “I want to check up on him before he falls into any trouble and die,” Yura voiced out. Yejoon’s grip on her waist tightened, and he trailed off, “What do you mean? Are you planning to…” “What are you thinking? I am just curious. As a person who hurt me for so long, tried to keep me under control, I want to see how far he will go, how long will he be surviving for. Take this as a side effect of being too bored. And these days, he got involved into something dangerous and big. As someone pampered and spoile

As Yura was mixing the batter for the cake, the man walked over to her and wrapped his hand around her waist. Yejoon’s actions caused her halt her movements, and she turned her head to face him. One of her eyebrows was raised. He placed his head at the nape of her neck, which caused her to speak out, “Didn’t you say that you are going to maintain a distance from me? Then, why are you being this close to me?” “I thought I could, but I can’t do it anymore. You don’t know how much I want to hold you like this, not let you escape from my arms.” Yura believed that it was normal for her heart to flutter when she heard such words, and when her heart did so, she did not think too much about it. In this matter, overthinking might ruin what the two of them had between each other, and it was just better to go with the flow. One thing Yura knew that not every time did thinking way too much makes one reach into a perfect decision. Most of the times, overthinking just makes the situation much

A solemn silence was present in the room after that, and even she was able to sense how the atmosphere of the room had change to a much serious one after those words had left her mouth. Nonetheless, she did not regret those words of hers. When it came to Ryu Yejoon, this was the most she could do. It’s not like she could judge them since his choices and hers differed a lot. Yoon Shihyuk was the first one to break the silence. Not knowing what to say to that, he awkwardly rubbed the back of his head and answered, “Yes, we will make sure of it.” Their friendship was something that couldn’t be described in words. Although they might not tell each other about their feelings or life, they still got together and played around. She grinned and voiced out, “Why don’t you guys continue eating? Just let me know if you need anything.” However, the peace in the café was immediately broken when the door to the place was pushed open, and a man walked in through it. “What do you think you three
