DING! DONG!

With a tired step Taeri went downstairs to the door of the house. She thought, who comes to their house early in the morning like this? The sun has not risen yet and Taeri has not taken a shower.

She rubbed her eyes as she turned the doorknob. She looked up and met a pair of strange eyes but that face had never been seen. With a half-conscious face Taeri spoke.

"Mr. who are you searching for? Why did you come to this house?" Taeri's question as warmly as she can. The man carved a thin smile before speaking.

"I'm Shim Jaehun, Jake's brother." Replied the man and managed to make Taeri half

conscious to fully conscious.

Shim Jaehun? Jake's brother?

Taeri swallowed, not knowing what else to say. You have met your brother-in-law dressed like this! Ah, Taeri felt like wanting to jump into the pond that was in their home garden now.

Jaehun refrained from laughing and put on a cold face. He wanted to see how far Taeri would go.

"Please come in, I'll call Jake." said Taeri while giving way for Jaehun to enter. Once Jaehun entered she immediately closed the door and went up to Jake's room.

He wanted to knock first but he kept coming in. This is the first time she meets Jaehun, where maybe she will continue to treat the man like a brother. Jake's bed was approached and the man's shoulder was patted gently.

"You? Get up quickly!" Call Taeri again.

"Ermm? Omma ... today is a holiday ..." Jake pushed Taeri's hand away and hugged his pillow more tightly.

Taeri frowned at the man. This is what happened to them both for holding a marathon movie yesterday.

Taeri patted Jake on the shoulder again, "Jaeyun get up! There's your brother down!"

Hearing his brother's words made Jake awake. His eyes are still closed indicating that he is still drowsy but his hearing is still good. He turned to look at Taeri.

"Jaehun hyung?" asked Jake and Taeri nodded several times. It seems Jake also can't believe that his brother is in their house, at dawn like this!

Finally, reluctantly, Jake got up to wash his face and went downstairs. His heart was not happy to sit, it had been 3 years since the man ran away and now he is back.

He is sure his brother, Shim Jaehun, has his own motives.

"Hyung, what do you want?" Jake asked as soon as he sat on the couch. He saw Jaehun was chewing the fruit, sure the man took it himself.

"Woah easy, Jakey." Jaehun replied sarcastically.

Jake rolled his eyes then looked at Jaehun sharply. He didn't think he would meet his brother again after what happened. The man can reappear like nothing happened, Because of Jaehun, he needs to take his appa's position. Because of Jaehun, he's getting colder. Because of Jaehun, his life changed.

"Can't I say what I want? You are too lazy to play puzzles." said Jake again.

Seeing Jake's blank face made Jaehun laugh a little. He goes back to rectify everything that happened between the two of them. Jaehun knows that Jake is still mad at him.

With a sweet smile he said, "I want to live here. Only for one week!"

"Live? Hyung you have a black card! Why must you live in my house too? No, go somewhere else." Jake replied again. Jaehun's face was not looked at by Jake, as if it was damaging his eyes.

Among other reasons is that he doesn't want Jaehun to know about his relationship with Taeri. If the man lived there for sure he would know that Taeri did not sleep with him. Jaehun will definitely complain to Mrs. Shim.

Being the eldest child makes his parents trust Jaehun more. And that made Jake even more messy with his brother. The other reason is that Jaehun is the one who should marry Taeri.

Jaehun hugged his body, he leaned on the sofa while chewing the apple.

"That girl, she's Kang Taeri right?" Jaehun questions suddenly making Jake chuckle. Did his brother pretend not to know Taeri?

"If you know why you asked?" Jake replied in a lazy tone.

It's impossible that Jaehun didn't know about Taeri when the man had seen Taeri's picture.

But being selfish and unwilling to accept Mr. Shim's position, Jaehun fled to Australia.

Jake was 16 years old at the time, it was impossible for his parents to marry him to Taeri. As he says, they are both victims of this plan.

"She's cute and now I regret running away from that arranged marriage."

BAM!

"Yes, she is. Also a friendly reminder for you - she is my wife. Make yourself at home, brother." Jake replied before he went upstairs.

Jaehun, who was still in the living room, just laughed a little. Loved seeing Jake's behaviour that he had never seen before.

"Possessive, I see. Omma should know about this."
