"Hera, get up. We're gonna be late—
What the fuc— HERA!"
At the shriek, the named girl fluttered her eyes open in surprise. Jungwoo was standing by her bedroom door, eyes rounded, mouth slightly agape as if he saw a ghost in her bedroom.
Hera wanted to ask what was wrong with him but someone else spoke first, breaking the silence between the twins. "Ugh, why does your alarm sounds like prez?" Yukhei groaned as he slipped an arm around her waist, pulling her closer to him. Hera was speechless, she didn't know if she should wake Yukhei up or if she was supposed to explain the situation to her brother.
"What the hell are you doing in my sister's room? On her bed?" Jungwoo wanted to shoot Yukhei with his father's gun at the moment but he couldn't risk waking up his parents at the moment. "Oh, so it is you." Yukhei opened his eyes and smiled softly at the other male, as if he was doing nothing wrong. Hera wanted to laugh at the whole situation.
"Get out before I call the cops— wait, Papa has a gun." Jungwoo was about to leave the room and actually grab the weapon. However, Hera had to stop him before things get out of hand.
"Chill, prez. We weren't that loud last night." Yukhei joked as he teasingly pecked Hera on the neck, triggering her twin to actually kill him. The male let out a laugh as Jungwoo instantly pulled his twin out of bed. "Alright, that's it. Scram, before I shoot you." Jungwoo said, taking out a real gun which he grabbed out of nowhere.
Yukhei had both of his arms up as surrender as Jungwoo pointed it to him. "I'll give you 5 minutes to leave before I aim for your head." The male threatened. Yukhei was on full alarm as he knew how Jungwoo could actually do that, considering the fact that he hated him so much.
"At least let me say goodbye—" "We have a dance in a few hours, jackass." Jungwoo rolled his eyes as he watched the male slowly leaving the room. Jungwoo could tell that Yukhei might pull something stupid and try to kiss his sister in front of him or something, so he pushed Hera into his room which was across hers and shut the door.
Jungwoo had a scowl on his face as he continued to point the gun at Yukhei until he descended down the stairs. He followed him behind, making sure he left the house before he proceeded to his bedroom to check on Hera.
As soon as Jungwoo opened the door, he found Hera at one of the windows in his room, waving to none other than Yukhei who was acting all goofy. "I thought he left yesterday?" Jungwoo asked immediately. "With those long limbs, he can easily climb himself to my room." Hera replied and turned her gaze from the window and to him.
"What happened?" Jungwoo couldn't help but to ask as he set the gun on a drawer next to his bed. "He said he was sorry, and he wanted to change. You know, give him a chance." Hera replied. There was no point of hiding anything to her twin, he'd find out eventually.
"And?" The male waited for her to continue. "I agreed." Hera answered and Jungwoo instantly disapproved. She knew it was coming. "Are you serious? He lied to you, broke your heart. You said he was a two faced—"
"I hated him, I certainly did. But I can't lie to myself, this is the only time I've ever felt being in love and I just can't let him go, no matter how furious I was with him." Hera shut her twin up, this time it was for her to talk. "He made a mistake and he promised to change. I'm taking the risk, I'm giving him a chance to prove himself. If it doesn't work, then maybe I'll just give up to fall in love." She added, sounding sad at the thought of it.
"You can't protect me forever, Jungwoo. You did your part, now you have to let me decide. I just need your support, that's all." Hera held her twin's face in both of her hands for a moment before retreating her hands. "If you say so." Jungwoo gave her a small smile.
He had to admit, he had no rights to control her life. He would always try to protect her like how she would always do the same as well. However, that was their boundaries, they would never try to interfere further. "Thanks for having my back." Hera couldn't help but to pull him in for a hug, which he gladly returned.
"Now go shower, you stink." Jungwoo suddenly broke the hug and pushed his sister away. "I don't smell." Hera innocently replied. "Yeah you do, a footballer was all over you last night—"
"Wait, wait! No! We didn't—" Hera instantly tried to stop him from wild thoughts. However, Jungwoo was making noises to avoid listening to her explanation. "I'm telling Papa about the gun!" She threatened.
"Psh, go ahead it's fake anyway." Jungwoo made a face and pointed the gun to his bed, pulled the trigger afterwards only to have nothing coming out of it. "You're so mean." Hera laughed as she was also deceived by the gun.
"Only to him." Jungwoo grinned before shoving his sister out of his room afterwards.

Hera expected for Yukhei to pretend as if nothing happened between them, at least not for the whole school to know. She hoped for him to just keep it between them, it was better if no one else knew. To be honest, she'd be quite shy if Yukhei went around telling everyone else that he was finally dating her.
However, it turned out as soon as she arrived at school, everyone else was busy with something. Homecoming. It was tonight and all were excited. As Hera fiddled with her locker, Yuta jumped on her back slightly, as a greeting.
"Hey there, date." He flashed his set of perfect teeth. "Hey." Hera smiled back and continued to look for her books. "Oh, you seem to be in a good mood. Excited for tonight?" Yuta asked, immediately hinting. Of course, they had no school for today but Hera and Yuta were forced to help Jungwoo and the rest with some final preparations.
Koeun insisted that she trusted no one else expect them for this final task and they all just went along. "More like excited because of last night." Jungwoo's statement confused the other male. Yuta stared at the male for a while before slowly turned to look at Hera, and his eyes widened at the realisation.
The male twin however, casually walked past them as if he spilled nothing and even winked at his sister to annoy her even more.
"No way, you and Yukhei?" He exclaimed and Hera clasped a hand over his mouth to prevent some other students nearby from overhearing. "You got back together?" Yuta was bombing her with questions as he was so thrilled his plan worked out. Hera nodded her head slightly.
"It's embarrassing when you say it out loud." She chuckled lightly. "Well then, tonight's the perfect night to make him jealous of me." He exclaimed after linking arms with the girl and dragging her to the gym where Homecoming was supposed to take place.
