seen

jihae screamed as she squirmed on her bed. "this is bad for my heart. curse you and your effect on me, hwa."

she reread the messages just to make sure that they sent each other those messages and that she wasn't dreaming. "it's real."

she screeched again as she kicked in the air.

"is it a roach? please, stop yelling." her door opened revealing her bored looking brother. upon seeing him, she jumped off her bed and ran towards him to give him a hug.

jungkook scoffed, returning the hug but a loving smile made its way to his face. "is it seonghwa?"

jihae nodded with her head still on the boy's chest. a muffled, "thank you." was heard afterwards.

the senior chuckled. "are you that happy?" the girl nodded again, embracing him tighter. "well, that better last for a long time. i still won't hesitate to kick his non-existent ass if he hurts you."

the sophomore giggled as she finally lets go of her brother. "i know. i'd do the same for lisa."

"hey!"

they both laughed heartily, glad things are slowly going back to normal. "oh, and, uh-" jihae stuttered.

"what is it?" sensing her hesitation jungkook's brother mode activated again.

"um, can i skip practice tomorrow?" she asked with those puppy eyes he hasn't seen in a while.

"why?"

"i got a date." the girl says with the biggest grin on her face.

"that fast?" jungkook surprised tone slipped out. "that smooth bastard. i said talk, not make a move." he jokingly said it with an annoyed voice.

jihae sheepishly smiled. "is that a yes?"

"just this one time. you're lucky coach won't be there." the boy huffed. "on wednesday, you better show coach how you really play."

she saluted. "yes, sir." she placed a kiss on his cheek and proceeded to shove him out her room. "now, let me go tell wooyoung and yunho about your heroic act."

"you're so dramatic. goodnight." jungkook walled himself out and closed the door.

she walked back to her bed and plopped on it before her door opened again, quite harshly this time.

"jeon jihae!" it was none other than her fierce sister.

"oh no."

"how dare you not tell me anything?!" soyeon exclaimed as she, too, jumped on the younger's mattress. "a date?! with seonghwa?!"

"i didn't-" before the sophomore could explain herself, the blonde female already took a cushion and playfully hit her with it.

"no excuses!" soyeon huffed before stopping her jabs. "i was so worried, you know."

jihae lets loose from her defensive stance as she chuckled guiltily. "was i really that upset?"

"no shit! you were moping around like someone just died. you weren't even like that after your breakups." her sister grumbled.

the youngest tilted her head in confusion, as if asking, what was i like?

seeing this, soyeon sighed. "it was like you weren't motivated to do anything, and the jihae we know always tries her best. unlike your past breakups, you didn't cry but it seemed like you lost all hope, and that's way scarier."

the sophomore frowned. a lot of people were really affected by my sadness, huh?

"sorry, soyeon." jihae looked down.

"yeah! now apologize by telling me what's up you and hwa."

instead of replying normally, the younger only snickered, saying, "hwa? are you two close now?"

when soyeon was about to protest, a devilish smile made its way to her face. "are you jealous?"

"no." jihae says blankly. "and why would i be? you got your eyes on his best friend."

something in the youngest girl's mind clicked as she suddenly remembered. "speaking of hongjoong, how is it with him?"

"what do you mean with him? what's with him? i'm not with him. what?" the older said rather rapidly which made jihae suspicious. she usually speeds up her words when she's nervous.

"you're rapping again which means you have a secret." the sophomore squinted her eyes.

"that's not-"

"you're not looking at me. signs of lying." jihae sang happily. "what is it?"

"this is why i didn't make any effort talking to you despite your sadness." soyeon pouted. "you always see right through me."

the younger smiled triumphantly. "so? so? what is it?"

"well, you know..." her older sister dragged. "just things."

"tell me!" jihae, then, grabbed the pillow beside her and smacked it at the other's direction.

soyeon shielded herself from the vicious attacks. "ow! okay, fine!"

the agreement was enough to make the younger stop and listen.

"we may or may not be going out." her older sister mumbled but it enough for her to hear.

"you have a boyfriend?!"

just before the attempted hush, the bedroom door opened again.

"what boyfriend?!" of course, jungkook had to hear.

"ew, you creep. how dare you eavesdrop on girls' talk?" soyeon sassed. "knock like a normal person."

"yeah, kookie." jihae shook her head.

their brother rolled his eyes at the lack of hospitality. "may i remind you of the things i did for-"

"come in, kook! you're very welcome!" jihae patted a space beside her, much to soyeon complains.

"so what is this boyfriend i heard?" jungkook asked as soon as he sat down.

"promise not to tell anyone?" the middle child sincerely pleaded, which they nodded to.

"so, we kinda got close after that little coffee date we had and we spent more time together." soyeon recalled, smiling. "then, at some point, we began talking about past relationships which.. you know me, i don't really do. turns out, he's the same."

the two siblings looked at each other before leaning towards soyeon, getting more invested in the story. "and?"
