(A/N:Y'know I feel like almost every chapter of this book I make Karina cry XD I'm sorry babieeee it's just for the plot (╥﹏╥), enjoy the chapter tho!)

"Rina?"Giselle asked as she knocked on the door of the office, she twisted the knob to find it open and when she opened it what greeted her was an empty room
.
.
.
.
.
"Kookie oppa! Is Rina not in yet? It's already past 9"Giselle asked and Jungkook's head popped up
.
.
.
.
.
"I didn't see her come in... Maybe she used one of her day offs again?"Jungkook replied and Giselle sighed before closing the door of Karina's office

"Rina you don't have work today?"Tiffany asked and went into Karina's room
.
.
.
.
.
"No unnie I used my day off today... I got tired from stuff yesterday"Karina replied and turned to her laptop
.
.
.
.
.
"You're using a day off but it seems like you're still working... Why don't you come down and bond with us, we're helping grandma make kimchi"Tiffany said and Karina sighed before closing her laptop
.
.
.
.
.
"You're right unnie, let's go down"Karina replied and stood up, Tiffany smiled before pulling Karina along with her
.
.
.
.
.
"Ah yah! Stop! You're getting Kimchi all over me!"
.
.
.
.
.
"Yah! I said it was joke! Grandma is gonna get mad at us if you keep throwing a tantrum!"
.
.
.
.
.
"Yoo Yuna stop that"Tiffany warned and everyone looked at their direction before sitting down properly and stopping the ruckus they made
.
.
.
.
.
"Where's grandma?"Karina asked and sat beside them
.
.
.
.
.
"She went out to buy some more radish because she said Ryujin and I can't pick good radishes"Yuna replied and Karina looked at the ingredients at the side, almost all the radish that they had looked torn or... Just bad
.
.
.
.
.
"Yeah... I can see why she said that"Karina replied and chuckled as Yuna crossed her arms and sighed
.
.
.
.
.
"Oh by the way unnie, have you talked to the one who wanted to buy the building? Because I haven't found a place yet"Karina said and turned to Tiffany
.
.
.
.
.
"I haven't yet, the landlord gave me their number but it's always busy"Tiffany replied and Karina bit her lip
.
.
.
.
.
"Can you give me the number? So maybe I could try to talk to them as well"Karina replied and Tiffany nodded, giving her phone to Karina
.
.
.
.
.
"Yoo Jaehyun! Stop playing on your phone and get down here before I whoop your ass"Yoongi yelled out and immediately Jaehyun ran down the stairs
.
.
.
.
.
"Uhmm..."
.
.
.
.
.
All the siblings stopped to look at the door where the voice had came from, they all turned to see a young lady holding a big bouquet in her hands standing outside their opened door
.
.
.
.
.
"Yes miss? Is there something we can do? We're closed right now if you're gonna buy food"Ryujin said and tried to look at the girl's face that was covered by the flowers
.
.
.
.
.
"Uhh no! That's okay... I was just wondering if..... Karina is here?"The girl asked and the siblings turned to Karina who was confused
.
.
.
.
.
"I'm... Here... Sorry miss but do I know you?"Karina asked and stood up, she walked towards the door where the girl was and the girl suddenly giggled
.
.
.
.
.
"I finally found you again!"
.

"Winter... Really?"NingNing asked in disbelief as she looked at Winter getting her hair ready
.
.
.
.
.
"What? I want to give it in person now since it's been days that I haven't revealed myself"Winter replied and grabbed the roses on her table
.
.
.
.
.
"We have a shoot today! Winter! Yah! Miss Hwang is gonna get mad! YAH KIM MINJEONG!"NingNing yelled out as Winter rushed to go outside
.
.
.
.
.
"I'll be back Ning I promise! I won't take long!"Winter yelled back and immediately drove off as NingNing sigh to herself
.
.
.
.
.
"Alright... This is just an apology nothing more... Right right Minjeong that's right... Yeah! Just an apology I don't really mean anything by it"Winter assured herself as she happily drove to Karina's law firm
.
.
.
.
.
She entered the building as soon as she parked, looking a bit suspicious and nervous
.
.
.
.
.
"Hi... May I get an appointment with Miss Yoo today?"Winter asked the receptionist and the girl looked at her
.
.
.
.
.
"Miss Yoo isn't in today, should I schedule you for another lawyer for your case ma'am?"The receptionist asked and Winter inhaled before smiling
.
.
.
.
.
"No it's okay... It's not that urgent so I guess... I could do another day"Winter replied and went out, she went into her car and leaned back
.
.
.
.
.
"She's not at work today?... Maybe she found out it was me that was sending all those flowers..."Winter said to herself before banging her head into her steering wheel
.
.
.
.
.
"Wait! Where are you two going?"
.
.
.
.
.
"We're going to see Karina today Mrs.Lim, it's quite unusual of her to take a day off at this time of year because she's fully booked for cases around this time"Giselle replied and Winter's head flew up, she saw Giselle and Jungkook get onto a motorcycle
.
.
.
.
.
"We already told bossman ma'am don't worry, you know we're just worried for Karina... Specially after yesterday's event... You know how defeated Karina looked yesterday after the visit with that lady"Jungkook said and Winter's ears perked up
.
.
.
.
.
"Lady?... Visit?.... Who could've visited her that made her look defeated and made her not go to work today?"Winter asked herself
.
.
.
.
.
"Fine... Tell me if she's okay alright? I was quite worried too"Mrs.Lim replied and the two smiled before nodding their heads
.
.
.
.
.
Jungkook gave Giselle a helmet before getting on and Giselle got on the back and held onto Jungkook's shoulders, they waved to Mrs.Lim before driving off and Winter immediately started her car and drove off, following the two friends as she worries who could've possibly made Karina feel defeated

"W-what are you doing h-here?"Karina asked and the siblings looked at each other
.
.
.
.
.
"Who's that?"
.
.
.
.
.
"I don't know, maybe an old friend?"
.
.
.
.
.
"Who gives an old friend a bouquet of flowers"
.
.
.
.
.
"Also why would she go here just to see an old friend? She could've gone to Karina's workplace"
.
.
.
.
.
The siblings looked at each other, conversing with their eyes as they try to listen to the two girls at the door
.
.
.
.
.
"I asked our professor where you lived they said they couldn't give me an exact location because that was against the rules but they told me you lived around here so I started searching for you last week then I saw you yesterday coming home from work"The girl replied and the siblings looked at Karina
.
.
.
.
.
"Is she some kind of stalker?... That was a bit of a scary narration on how she found Karina..."Jessica said and her siblings looked like they were about to stand up just to get closer and listen more to the two
.
.
.
.
.
"Yeah but why?... Why were you looking for me?"Karina asked and the girl pulled her arm and hugged her tightly which immediately made the boys of the family stand up, as if on guard
.
.
.
.
.
"I've missed you, ever since you came back here in Korea you never contacted me when you said you would"The girl said
.
.
.
.
.
"Things got busy with work... I didn't know you'd be this worried"Karina replied and hugged the girl back which made the boys sit back down slowly
.
.
.
.
.
"Oh! Right! I'm so sorry about this sudden intrusion!"The girl said and pulled away from the hug, bowing to Karina's siblings who were staring at them
.
.
.
.
.
"I was just worried about Karina because when we were together in America she said that back here in Korea she would be a bit stressed because she will start working for one of the top law firms here and I got more worried when she didn't contact me at all"The girl said and Karina scratched her nape
.
.
.
.
.
"N-no it's okay... What's your name?"Tiffany asked
.
.
.
.
.
"Oh! I'm Jeon Somi ma'am"The girl replied and Tiffany nodded
.
.
.
.
.
"Right... Are you perhaps... Dating my sister?"Tiffany asked again and Karina turned to her with furrowed eyebrows
.
.
.
.
.
"Oh... Uhmm..."Somi hesitated and looked at Karina
.
.
.
.
.
"No... No we aren't dating... We're just friends"Karina replied and Somi looked back at her siblings and nodded
.
.
.
.
.
"Then why do you have a bouquet of flowers when you're just worried?"Ryujin asked and immediately received a slap on the back of her head from Yoongi
.
.
.
.
.
"Oh... It's uhm... It was just uhh...... It was just out of respect, I couldn't come here empty handed... Right?"Somi asked and looked at Karina who smiled awkwardly
.
.
.
.
.
"I feel suspicious of these two... Why does Karina look like she's hiding something?"Krystal whispered, Jessica and Tiffany who were beside her nodded in agreement
.
.
.
.
.
"Operation get alpha to tell us the whole story is a go"Tiffany whispered and it was loud enough for them siblings to hear but not loud enough for Somi or Karina to hear
.
.
.
.
.
"So! You guys met in America? How was studying with Karina? She already studied here in Korea but she insisted in going to America to learn more about law stuff"Yoongi asked first and Tiffany nodded
.
.
.
.
.
"Uhmm... It was great! I learned a lot from her as well, she did tell me that she already graduated here and I thought it was weird at first but I get how she wanted to learn more"Somi replied and Yoongi nodded to her answer
.
.
.
.
.
"How did you guys meet? Are you classmates?"Krystal asked this time
.
.
.
.
.
"No we were from different classes but our rooms were side by side"Karina replied this time and Tiffany side eyed her siblings
.
.
.
.
.
"Stop what you're trying to do I know your ways by now, I told you we were just friends stop trying to push something out"Karina said and Jaehyun covered his face as the rest of the siblings sighed
.
.
.
.
.
"I know you started it unnie, don't try to act innocent"Karina added and looked at Tiffany who was looking at their siblings
.
.
.
.
.
"To be fair we were just curious..."Tiffany replied and Karina shook her head
.
.
.
.
.
"Huh? I don't understand..."Somi said and Karina ruffled her hair
.
.
.
.
.
"You don't need to understand"Karina replied and smiled
.
.
.
.
.
The siblings squinted at Karina and shook their heads
.
.
.
.
.
"Yah Jeon Somi! What are you doing here!"Jungkook yelled out which caught everyone's attention as if his big bike didn't gain attention as they swooped and parked right Infront of the Yoo's
.
.
.
.
.
"What are you two doing here too? Don't you have work?"Karina asked as Giselle took off her helmet
.
.
.
.
.
"Girl we were worried about you, you never take a day off without telling us... Jeon Somi I can't believe you, you could've told us you were coming here to Korea... I almost died when Jungkook saw you and he started speeding up, I just saw my life flash before my eyes!"Giselle exclaimed
.
.
.
.
.
"I didn't want to tell you guys because I only wanted to see how Karina was doing"Somi replied and Jungkook immediately threw the helmet that Giselle was wearing to Somi
.
.
.
.
.
"You're coming with me young lady, how dare you not tell your older brother?"Jungkook said and Somi pouted
.
.
.
.
.
"Also! You! Why couldn't you tell me you weren't gonna come to work as well? We got worried! Even Mrs.Lim got worried"Jungkook said and pointed at Karina
.
.
.
.
.
"Don't point your finger at my sister Jeon Jungkook"Yoongi said and stood next to Karina which made Jungkook lower his hand
.
.
.
.
.
"I forgot to tell you guys, I just really wanted to take just a day off of work... I'm gonna get fully booked once I go back so I just want one last breather before I descend into hell"Karina said and Jungkook sighed
.
.
.
.
.
"Fine... Somi you're going to come with me, you're gonna be staying with Mom and Dad whether you like it or not"Jungkook said and Somi stomped on the ground
.
.
.
.
.
"You didn't tell your parents either? Go to them Somi"Karina said and Somi turned to her
.
.
.
.
.
"You can come visit anytime but don't worry your parents.... Or your brother, so go home alright?"Karina said and Somi sighed before nodding
.
.
.
.
.
"This brat... You listen to Karina but not your brother?"Jungkook asked and Somi made faces at him before putting on the helmet
.
.
.
.
.
"Wait a second... Where am I supposed to ride? You're gonna leave me?"Giselle asked and Jungkook looked at her
.
.
.
.
.
"I'll come back, I'll just drop off Somi at our parents"Jungkook said and Giselle rolled her eyes but nodded
.
.
.
.
.
"Well... Before Jungkook arrives, why don't you help with making Kimchi?"Karina said and pulled Giselle along who tried to escape her grip
.
.
.
.
.
"Karina! I don't make that! I don't want to touch it!"Giselle protested
.
.
.
.
.
"Come on! You love Kimchi! And we'll have you take some home if you help"Karina said and suddenly Giselle walked in by herself which made Karina laugh
.
.
.
.
.
"Jeon Somi?..."Winter asked herself as she watched from the distance, she looked at Karina who was laughing by the door. Winter smiled to herself and drove her car
.
.
.
.
.
"Atleast she doesn't look defeated anymore"Winter said and looked at her mirror, watching as Karina get back inside the apartment
