The Ultimate Soulmate's

Drying for a Broken Heart

Not noticeably, time passed by in the blink of an eye and today was my first day of ascending to second grade. It's been a few months since my farewell to Yongju. Since then, the two of us have been completely out of touch since appa and eomma really limited our relationship. In addition to my relationship with Yongju being cut off, looking back, a lot of things happened at this school. One of them, Namgil, who met me on her graduation day and apologized to me again. Seeing her persistence to apologize to me, I accepted her true intention. "Alright, I'm sorry," I said at the time. Namgil smiled with two dimples as he stretched out his hand and said, "friend?" I, who was initially hesitant to accept his helping hand, lazily greeted him when I saw Namgil's sweet smile change with his own face. "All right," I said accept it. "After all, he's Daehyun's cousin. I can't always avoid it" I thought at the time.

If my relationship with Namgil becomes awkward, my relationship with Jiwon is getting closer. To me personally, Jiwon is a fun friend because besides being a close friend of Daehyun, she is also the only person at this school who knows about my relationship with Daehyun. I still ask Daehyun to hide our engagement relationship on the grounds that I don't want to be bothered by the girls who like him and that of course Daehyun was forced to do so because I always threatened him to reject it and back to Yongju.

Like this morning, I came to school to be picked up by Daehyun as usual, according to the eomma's order asking Daehyun to take me to school since we returned from Los Angeles. However, Daehyun was always forced to drop me off behind the school at my request again. "Aren't you tired of hiding like this? Why don't we just announce it?" daehyun asked while looking at me who opened the car door to get down. "I'm bored because you ask me the same thing almost every day!" I nodded without looking at him. Daehyun let out a long breath. "alright. Then, do the same as usual!" daehyun said as he brought his face closer to me and the cup! one kiss I gave on her cheek as a ritual before entering the school gate which she always billed in return for having complied with all my requests.

At first, I was always annoyed whenever I saw his face, especially when I found out, it was Daehyun who told my relationship with Yongju to my parents. Even though my parents didn't believe it at the time, it was ultimately me and Yongju who proved it. However, whether it was possible due to meeting daily with Daehyun, slowly my cold attitude towards her melted away, although I still often ignored her existence. I admit, other than that face of his undeniable good looks, I just found out that Daehyun can also turn very spoiled and adorable in front of me.

Then, according to Jiwon's story, ever since I knew I was her fiancee, Daehyun is no longer in touch with any girl and it seems like I can trust Jiwon because in reality Daehyun is indeed spending more time in my house, also keeping his attitude in front of me. Even so, the cause of time flowing so fast, I guess because I prefer to focus on my school and Daehyun who tries to keep his promise, always pretending to only be friends with me if we are at school. As far as I know it is, without me knowing that it turns out that Daehyun still follows me every day from a distance and secretly always teaches other students who are caught trying to approach me. Moreover, the freshly entered underclassmen today, must have become a new threat to a Kim Daehyun because in fact almost all the male students in this school already know who my owner is, except for these new boys.

A few male students whom I did not know, greeted me when I had just entered the school gate and I who was known to be arrogant, just through them so unfriendly. Whereas Daehyun who was walking behind me, had already marked the faces of the new kid in his memory. For Daehyun, there was no need to wait for a break, let alone tomorrow to give his first warning to the new boy. After making sure I had entered my class, Daehyun suddenly turned his direction and approached the new student who just greeted me earlier.

"Remember this! The girl is mine. So, don't try to get close to him!" whispered Daehyun who instantly cornered in the place of the new student. "But just be careful if Hana finds out I told you! I'll make sure you suffer every day at this school!" he said, staring intently at his opponent. Jiwon who was standing next to Daehyun formed a gun from her index finger and thumb and placed the tip of her index finger on the new student's forehead, "bang!" he said, before returning to follow the steps of Daehyun who walked casually towards his class, even though other students crowded around to see the action earlier.

Elsewhere, Yongju also busies herself with work, still pursuing her dreams. As of now, he is busy examining the stage for his latest concert to be held tonight. He doesn't even have time to take Junghwa to his new school. As for Junghwa, nothing has really changed from that baby. "That boy is a baby!" I muttered after receiving a call from Junghwa who asked me to leave class to pick him up in front of the school gate.

Junghwa was supposed to be in 9th grade, but since he skipped class, so now the baby is sitting in 10th grade, one level below me. What irritated me was "why did the baby choose to enter this school!" my thinking. Of course, Junghwa, who was sorry for my relationship with Yongju, did it for his hyung. Junghwa wanted to be a spy for Yongju, though Yongju himself did not ask for it. Even I'm sure, Yongju himself doesn't know the plans of his little brother.

Because of the call from Junghwa, I was forced to return to the school gate. There, I saw the car Junghwa used to use, then approached and knocked on the window. As I was about to call Junghwa, someone called me from the side, "Hana!" I turned to the sound and it was Namgil who called me. "Namgil oppa?" my spoken. "What's wrong? Is there a need for oppa in school?" I asked when Namgil approached me. "No. I just want to give this to Daehyun. Last night he left his bag at my house" replied Namgil, pointing out a backpack in his hand. "You how are you?" he continued to be friendly as usual.

"Good news. What about oppa? Is Oppa going to college?" I replied while paying attention to Namgil's neat-looking appearance, "it seems, oppa is getting higher!" I continued again with the head I raised as I looked at him. Namgil smiled as he laughed, "it's still 181 and as you can see, my news is good. Only my heart grows taller" he replied jokingly. "That's what makes me hate standing by oppa!" my reply. "Why?" tanyanya surprised.

"Because noona's getting shorter!" chirped Junghwa who was already standing next to me. "Who did you say was short?" I looked at him with annoyance. "What else is short here besides noona? Midgets!" he said mocking me. "Basar brash sister! Who do you think you're calling me short, huh? Look, who wouldn't dare go to school by himself and ask me to pick him up? Fucking baby!" my reply.

"Sister? Hana, I didn't know you had a sister. Wait, it seems like your face is not unfamiliar. Do I know you?" sela Namgil in the middle of the debate between me and Junghwa. "Oh, if not wrong, hyung is also his cousin Seojun hyung, right? I'm Seojun hyung's sister. Is that right, midget?" reply Junghwa for a moment, then come back to mock me. "Dickhead! Midget! You're the first baby I have to take care of, you know! God, why would Uncle and Aunt Jeon leave a bad baby like you to me!" I muttered as I remembered the message of Appa asking me to keep Junghwa at school.

"Who is the baby? I just got a rookie award this year. And look, now I'm taller than Noona! Hahaha, noona's getting a midget!" said Junghwa again, insolently placing his hand on my head. "Think how I killed this crazy kid!" I said in my heart with anger. I snorted in annoyance while regulating my emotions. "Namgil oppa, we're going inside. Bye," I said, pulling Junghwa's hand violently.

"Come, come with me to the hall. Soon, the welcoming ceremony of the new students began," I said. Junghwa suddenly approached and whispered to me, "Will noona take me all the way to the hall? Didn't noona see, this baby noona was even welcomed by one school?" Hearing him, I immediately stopped my steps and immediately released his hand when he realized everyone recognized this idol I was holding. Junghwa smiled haughtily in front of me as he said, "look, this baby noona is a lot of fans!"

I narrowed my eyes receiving Junghwa's annoying expression. I took off the hat I was wearing and let the hair I was hiding inside break down beautifully, "And look! This noona of yours also gets a welcome from juniors like you!" my reply. The short, shoulder-length hair that characterizes me now, I let it lengthen. Intentionally, I flicked my hair to Junghwa's face which instantly closed her eyes, then I let out my prettiest smile.

The deg! For a moment, Junghwa was glued to see it. "Yes. I guess, I know what's happening right now to them when I see that noona smile! Did you feel the same, huh? I remember hyung. Is the rehearsal for tonight's concert going well, huh?" Junghwa. Sreth! Daehyun pulled my hand which was busy walking away from Junghwa behind me, then pulled the hoodie I was wearing until it covered my head while looking at me with a sharp look. "Oppa said, don't smile that pretty, if oppa doesn't exist!" said.

"Looks, you got a junior a year under you, baby!" the word Daehyun deliberately emphasized the word affection in front of Junghwa. "And oppa thought, because oppa is already in 12th grade, oppa will be a good senior now," he continued, staring intently at Junghwa. "Ck, you piece of shit!" muttered Junghwa casually. "Hey, you!" said Daehyun furiously holding back his emotions in front of me. Meanwhile, Jiwon and I were stunned to hear the bold curse of the new child.

"If it's at the agency, I call seniors to people who are five and six years above me. Are you that old?" the word Junghwa continues its declining savageness directly from the expert, Yongju. "Young-hwa!" ejaku was as furious as Daehyun and Jiwon. "Yes, I'm here! What's up, noona?" sahut Junghwa flaunted his row of white teeth in front of me. It was very satisfied that Junghwa had laid eyes on Daehyun.

"Damn it, this boy! Honey there's Hana here! Just watch out later!" daehyun said in his heart. "Jiwon, let's go back to class. Bring bag!" daehyun's orders preferred to give in because he didn't want to look bad in front of me. "Gosh, now I realize, you can't even carry your own bag. Actually, how old are you?" junghwa continued, chuckling. Slowly, Daehyun turned his head towards Junghwa with an almost explosive emotion.

"Jung, come on, I'll take you to your class now!" I said and immediately pulled Junghwa away from there. "Don't we have to gather in the hall?" junghwa asked confusedly. "To class first. The hall is far away. Hurry on!" sahutku. "Didn't you know that this school belongs to Daehyun!" my grumbling while speeding up my steps. "Where do I know, the principal and the teacher just didn't tell me! I don't care anyway" Junghwa replied. "Oh, don't look for trouble with him or you'll be pressured like the other kids were last year!" i said again. "I told you, I don't care, noona! Why is noona so chatty like this?" Junghwa.

"Have you forgotten, you and Yongju oppa are under the agency of Daehyun's eomma? Think that! You're still a rookie, aren't you?" I continued while stopping my steps when I got to the front of Junghwa class. "Indeed, what if I'm just a rookie and he's the son of the agency owner? I'm fine with it myself," he said again, which made me grow. "As far as you are! Hurry up, find your seat!" I said annoyed, then went back to Daehyun. Before entering, Junghwa turned his head back towards Daehyun who was still looking at him coldly from a distance.

"Should oppa help you introduce this school with some of its subjects to the new idol?" daehyun asked me, when I got in front of him. "Don't fuck around!" I said while looking at Daehyun sharply. "You saw for yourself that he was insolent!" said Daehyun again with an annoyed face. "I know, but Appa asked me to take care of him" I replied as I passed back to my class.

"Is Hana close to him? Don't-don't.. Is he Hana's bias? Hahaha, I want to make a negative comment about you! It seems, your fiance's standards are indeed high!" jiwon chirps that just realized that Junghwa is a new idol. The plot! Daehyun hit the head of Jiwon who was engrossed in speech while laughing at him. Daehyun showed his disinterest while saying, "Leave it! At most Hana only considered the brat as her little sister."

Meanwhile, in Junghwa's class, at school, a painting teacher came to him after learning that Junghwa had entered the school. "Sorry Teacher, do I have to take painting classes as well as you suggest? Is this mandatory?" ask Junghwa. "No. It's just, I saw your painting at the show you were at and it was great. So, I suggest you take mom's class, how? I'm sure you'll get first place in your class" said the teacher. "Maybe if I get first place in my mom's class, I'll be a successful artist. That's fine, but I want to focus on music. I'll just do what I want for now. I'm sorry" Junghwa said, leaving the teacher.

After school, Junghwa headed straight to his agency to do the exercises with his group. In fact, he would love to watch a Yongju concert tonight. "Yes, I just followed her to her apartment after rehearsal" she thought. In the middle of the night, Yongju, who had just returned home from his concert, rested his head on the sofa of his apartment. It had been 24 hours nonstop he worked without a break until his concert was over. He looks very tired at the moment. Junghwa, who had been waiting inside Yongju's apartment for a few hours, noticed the hyung drowning on the sofa, then approached her worriedly. "Hyung's fine, isn't he? Do I need to call manager hyung?" tanyakanya.

"Hmm," said the helpless Yongju opening his eyes. "Hyung isn't okay! I'll call the manager." Junghwa said frantically as he pulled the phone out of his pants pocket, but was held back by Yongju's weak remark, "No need." With his remaining energy, he forced my body to walk into his bedroom. "What are you doing here? Is your schedule empty?" she asked Junghwa who followed her behind.

"I just came to visit hyung and wanted to congratulate him on hyung's concert. Sorry I couldn't watch it, but I really wanted to go" Junghwa said with a sullen face. "Hm... Thank ye. Now, go back to the dorm. Danger if there's a media that catches you this late!" yongju immediately threw his body on his bed. "But, is it okay for me to stay alone?" asked Junghwa worried about seeing the condition of his sister. "I told you, I'm fine. I'm just exhausted. Go home," replied the gentle yongju.

Junghwa was forced to put his concerns back on and forcefully indulge Yongju's will. But as he stood at the door of Yongju's room, Junghwa turned back to look at the lonely-looking Yongju. "Even after almost a year has passed, hyung is still like an undead in front of me! Hyung was only alive in front of the camera!" he said with a slick look at his brother. "Know what you are, you little boy!" yongju sahut softly sounded helpless as he threw a pillow towards Junghwa, but due to his weakened condition, it did not hit him.

"Babies? Jesus, one calls me a baby and the other calls me a boy! How come I've been a second-year vocalist and rapper, do you know?!" sahut Junghwa who was suddenly upset because he remembered me this morning at school. "Then? Should I give you a grade?" yongju Sahut. "Young! Hyung! As long as Hyung knows, this morning at school noona took care of me from the other children who were chasing me. Daehyun is also bothering me. Fortunately, I survived well" Junghwa said deliberately while waiting for Yongju's reaction. "Yes. You were a kid. You have to keep running, if anyone is chasing and bothering you" Yongju said, placing one hand over his closed eyes. "Come on, don't treat me like a kid! I'm already in my second year" said Junghwa, who was not interested in Yongju's reaction, which did not match his expectations.

"Junghwa, don't make trouble!" yongju said as he heard Junghwa's footsteps begin to step from the door of his room. "Who's making trouble?" sahut Junghwa sounded grumbling. "Listen, don't trouble Hana and me by bothering Daehyun. You will understand for yourself if your journey is long and you will find it difficult to distinguish between weirdness and reality" Yongju said. "I don't care about him. I'll go with my way, carry the loser at my feet" Junghwa said, returning to see Yongju lying on his bed. "Look, how could he snatch noona and make hyung dry like this out of a broken heart!" he continued to Yongju who looked increasingly thin and pale.

"Close your mouth! Even though you're already in your second year, it's all just the starting point for starting your career. Be careful of him, unless you no longer want to hide our identity and expose my past in public, understand?" yongju Rich, rising from his beds. "Actually, are you a junior or senior or a teacher trying to patronize me? Go back to your dorm. Get out of my apartment right now. I need a break! Don't bother me for two days!" pinta Yongju again, driving Junghwa out of his apartment.
