Jaehyun's POV

I sat on my couch, looking through Yoonjin's Instagram. To make it clear, that's not stalking, that's called wanting to know more about your rival so you'll know what to do.

She posts a lot of pictures of herself, most of it are ugly. " Who's that I see? " I jumped out of the couch. I turned to see my sister, Jieun staring blankly at me.

" Why are you staring at the girl's picture so passionately? What are you thinking? You sneaky rat. " She smirked.

Heat rushed to my face, as my eyes widened, " What do you mean? i'm not staring at her picture passionately! I'm just, just, just observing! " She scoffed.

" Yeah. Not even a dog would believe what you said." She snickered as she stuck her tongue out at me and I did the same.

She's 4 years older than me but somehow there doesn't seem to be an age gap between us.

Suddenly, she walked back to me again. She eyed me before a smile appeared on her face. She placed her arm around my shoulders, " If you ever need girl advice, I'm here to help. " She winked.

" Remember! Remember that! Don't forget that okay, Jung Jaehyun! " She said as she walked off and I sighed.

I really don't need girl advice especially if it's for Kim Yoonjin. I sat back down on the couch, scrolling through her pictures again.

That was when, I made the greatest mistake of my life. My eyes widened, hands shivered.

I've accidentally liked one of her post.

From.

A.

Few.

Years.

Ago.

I cursed under my breath as I unliked it, praying that she doesn't see it. My heart was racing like mad, I thought I was going to faint.

I looked over at the clock and it's 5pm. I have this habit which is to jog around the neighbourhood around this timing. That's how I remain my healthy and fit body.

I changed into my exercising outfit and was about to leave when I saw Jieun bawling her eyes out. " Why are you sobbing so badly? " She looked up at me.

" Jang Manwol is leaving! " She bawled even harder as she blew the mucus into a tissue. I stared at her in disgust.

" What? Have you not seen a girl cry? " I turned my back against her as I walked out of the house before she gets real angsty at me.

I started to jog after starting my Apple watch application. I could feel beads of sweat trickling down the sides of my forehead.

That's what I love about exercising.

I jogged passed a pet shop before stopping. I turned to face the store and found a familiar figure standing inside. A smirk formed on my face as I pulled open the door.

Her eyes widened as she saw me. " So you work here? " She rolled her eyes at me.

" No. I'm shopping for books. I'm at a pet volunteer center, of course i'm working here. " I scoffed. I don't even know how does she even get hired.

I looked around the place, " Hey, why are you there yet you're here? " I pointed at the rabbit poop before pointing back at Yoonjin.

She shot me a forced smile, " And you, you're not even fit to be called poop. " My eyes widened and just at that moment, the door opened, revealing another customer.

" I can't force you to leave but at least stand in a corner or else you'd regret it. " She said as she forced a grin.

I smiled, " I just want to stand here. Do you have a problem with that? " She rolled her eyes as she walked away from me.

Just then, a rabbit hopped over to be and suddenly, it pooped on my shoes. " That is why I told you to move. " She flashed her brightest smile.

" You- " I held in my anger as I got a piece of tissue, cleaning it off of my shoes. This rabbit probably have diarrhoea or something sort, it's really really mushy.

I got out of the store and I could see Yoonjin smiling widely at me from inside as she waved. I pointed middle finger at her and she pointed back it back at me.

I continued my run and I got home slightly later today. I changed out of my shoes and went up to wash up.

Suddenly I saw my own reflection.

How can Lee Yoonjin not fall for me?

Yoonjin's POV

" Thank you for helping us out, Yoonjin. " I grinned as I shook my head. I've been helping out at an animal volunteer center where abandoned animals are placed here to be brought home as pets.

I love animals so this job to me is no biggie.

After my shift is over, I removed the little apron that they had and walked home. I live pretty near here so it's really convenient for me.

The moment I entered, I saw Donghyuck struggling to get a pile of clothes down the stairs. " What are you doing with those clothes? " He looked up at me.

" I bought some children clothes for the orphans. Since you're here, help me get this down too. " I helped him out.

" Did you use dad's card again? " He nodded as if it's something so normal.

I sighed, " Why don't you sell your clothes and- " His eyes widened at the sound of that. He shook his head with his eyes staring widely at me.

" My clothes are my babies. There's no way I can abandon them. Not even those that i've bought years ago. " I shot him an uncomfortable smile.

" Oh god. Am I the only normal one? " I walked off.

I walked into the kitchen to see our helper cooking our dinner for us. Today my parents will be eating at home and they made sure all of us are too.

My parents are the founders of a really huge Korean male luxury brand. That's why Donghyuck and Taeyong are pretty popular, because they model for my parent's brand.

Since it's a male brand, I can't possibly model as well right?

" My babies! " The moment I heard that voice, I knew it was my mother. I walked out and I saw her giving Donghyuck a peck on the cheek while he looks extremely uncomfortable.

Her eyes landed on me as she ran over to me with her heels click-clacking against the ground. " Oh my! You've grown so much, my baby! " She then gave me a peck on the cheek as well.

" Ew, mom. Did you eat fried chicken and not clean your mouth? " Donghyuck asked and my dad nudged him slightly.

My dad looked around slightly, "Where's Taeyong?"

Being the only girl, I was forced to walk up the stairs, use your my energy just to get Taeyong down for dinner.

I walked to his room, gave it a slight knock before entering. " Lee Taeyong, they want you to go down for dinner now. " He was gaming so he probably didn't hear me.

" Lee Taeyong. " I called out once again.

" 5 minutes and I'll be down. " he said, his eyes not leaving the screen. Trust me, when he say it's 5 minutes, it's freaking 5 days.

I paused his game as I dragged him by the arm down to the dining room to have our dinner. " Taeyong! My ba- " Taeyong slides his way out of the peck.

My dad took a deep breath.

" Your mother and I, We have an announcement. "
