"It has. Stop making jokes! Now, let's have lunch. Hyung, is your cooking done? Can we start now?" yongju. "Yes, this is already. Hyunwo, please help me prepare it," Seojun said as he placed a large bowl in the middle of the dining table. While everyone was busy preparing lunch, Junghwa and I made a fuss because Junghwa accidentally nudged me next to him, until the drink I was carrying spilled onto my shirt.
"Hey, can't you be at peace for one day!" reprimand Seojun. "Hurry up, sit down and eat your food!" added Yongju who had also started to get dizzy to hear us always fighting. In the middle of lunch that came back bustling with jokes Seojun and Hyunwo who laughed in response, there was Junghwa who occasionally glanced at me silently. "If only I could, even for one day, I would like to peacefully get drunk sleeping with your sweet scent. But I don't want to snatch you from Yongju hyung" he said inwardly.
"Hana, does your stomach still hurt?" yongju asked as he realized my changed facial expression and just kept quiet from earlier. "Huh? Not pain, just discomfort," replied I who initially raised my face in shock, but ended up bowing my head in embarrassment. "Hm... How about the weekend later, we go for a walk, mumpung oppa schedule is not busy. It's also if your condition is better," he asked hesitantly. "To where? Ah Yongju, you are indeed a good sister! Are you planning a walk with your hyung before I go back to college?" seojun said with confidence.
"Who invited hyung? I want to go alone with Hana!" yongju answered the savage and immediately made Seojun frown because he had misunderstood. "Look at it later" I said, smiling sweetly at Yongju and still not realizing Junghwa's gaze. "It feels like I want to put my body in front of all the men you smile at with such gentle, deep eyes! I don't like to see it!" junghwa said in his heart while putting his spoon on his plate.
After eating, I was given the task of washing dishes by Seojun. "Let me! Hana has never washed dishes," said Yongju trying to replace me. "You've never washed dishes at all?" hyunwo asked in disbelief to hear it. "I have never been either! Isn't there a waiter at home who did it?" sahut Namgil plain. "Ah, I forgot that you're a family of conglomerates!" hyunwo sarcas. "Indeed the spoiled princess who can't do anything!" chirping Junghwa from a distance. I was annoyed half to death hearing that. "Oppa, just trust me, okay! Seojun oppa, please take Yongju oppa away! Don't let him bother me!" I asked for both. "I'll prove it, I can do the dishes too, baby!" gertutuku.
They also left the dining table. Seojun took Yongju to his room to talk about something. While Hyunwo invites Namgil to follow Junghwa who has already gone to his room. I also started my first experiment in front of the sink. Even though I was washing dishes for the first time, I have often seen servants in my house. So, I guess, I can't possibly have trouble doing it. But in the middle of my activity, I was distracted by my long hair falling in front of my face as I lowered my head. I tried to return it with the back of my hand because my hand was filled with soap foam.
"Oh!" I was surprised when a hand helped me to attach my hair to my ear. I wanted to turn around to look at the owner of the hand, but he held me back by advancing his body behind me. Without saying anything, the person behind me tied my hair gently. Junghwa's eyes focused on my neck. Finished tying my hair, he took out a few strands of my hair that stuck to my neck due to the fall. I felt his fingers touching my neck. "Aah!" I suddenly screamed as the hand pinched my neck.
"You? I thought Yongju oppa!" I said surprised, but with a chuckle Junghwa even breezed away after taking a drink in the refrigerator. "Why did you pinch me?" I asked as I stroked my neck, but the baby just kept silent and did not answer. "Hey, baby! Are you deaf?" yells annoyed. "I'm upset that you're going with hyung, without taking me!" replied the baby inwardly with a pouting face. "Wherever you go, I'll come! If necessary, I'll stick with you like a bag!" he continued, grumbling along the hallway to his room.
"Youngwa!" call me after successfully blocking Junghwa in front of him. "Why are you pinching me?" my voice pointed at my neck. Instead of saying anything, Junghwa was stunned to see me acting spoiled towards her. I grumbled in front of him, spilling my frustration at always being bothered by him, but Junghwa was pitying. To Junghwa at this moment, the angry me in front of him even looked cute in his eyes. "Youngwa!" call me annoyed that Junghwa has not hugged me since, stomping my feet and leaving in annoyance.
Slowly, Junghwa turned his gaze around, following me who was leaving while grumbling. "Every time I look at you, I feel like I'm out of breath! Your voice when you call me makes me feel like I'm locked inside your heart and swimming in your love and increasingly wanting to know more about you!" thought. "Unfortunately, my adventure will never be able to start because of the mystery of your relationship with Yongju hyung. I can only respect you as the girl my hyung likes and just imagine this every day because with you, it is a meaningful dream," he broke up while going the opposite direction to me.

In Yongju's room, "A day, if I could be with you, if I could hold your hand, I would love you with all my heart. I will make you my queen" Yongju said in his heart as he looked at the photo he had made of his phone wallpaper, without noticing Seojun speaking to him. "You still like it?" asked Seojun who noticed Yongju's gentle smile as he stared at the screen of his phone. The brother just kept quiet, not wanting to answer. "Why don't you just stop? You yourself know, what the end will be like," said Seojun. Yongju smiled, "Everything in this world is over, but I don't know how to end it yet" he said.
"If only I could have known it would end like this, I would never have left it to Daehyun," said my slow and regretful Yong. Seojun fell silent not knowing what to say, other than "what can we do? It's all happening." Seojun stared at the door of Yongju's room, "He's still laughing and smiling in front of us, but surely, he's the one who's hurt the most" he said. "If I notice, he's the type who doesn't want to show his feelings to others" he continued, staring at Yongju to justify his assessment of me.
"You're right, hyung! She's a spoiled stupid girl, can't do anything but study and won't be able to live alone. But he always kept his pain alone, not telling anyone he was hurt" Yongju said. "Then, we can only make him happy so that he doesn't remember his injuries!" seojun. "Didn't you want to take her away? Take him to eat or watch a movie or go anywhere that makes him comfortable and forget about Daehyun!" seojun advised smiling. "Yes, I will do anything for him, hyung," Yongju said. Seojun smiled at his sister.
"Yongju, I'm sorry. Maybe I'm being too rational, but still I want to remind you, don't force your feelings and make her hurt more than this" Seojun said hesitantly. "I understand, hyung. If I could make her smile happily again, that would be enough. I don't know either, maybe now he hates Daehyun or maybe not. I know, I can't expect more because it's just my dream. I know, I can't have it, even if it's in a dream" Yongju said softly. "Remember all these words! You have to swallow your feelings because after all you can't go against the reality of the blood relationship between the two of you!" seojun said convincingly before leaving Yongju who was glued to his room.

At Kim's residence, Daehyun went down the stairs of his house to the dining room. For days, he was locked up in his house and not allowed out by his parents. He walked with a shunt, even his face looked lethargic and thinner. Arriving in the dining room, his attention was fixed on the fitting flowers on the dining table. The white lilies reminded her of the moment when she surprised me standing in front of the water lily garden at Singapore's Changi Airport, when we were about to return to Korea.
Back then, Daehyun surprised me by hugging me from behind so affectionately and showering me with a kiss unfortunately. "Stop!" I said at that moment, pushing his naughty face. "Dear to like? If you like, oppa will make the same in our house later," he said with a smile. The dreamy Daehyun, suddenly saw my figure standing in front of him, where the lilies separated the distance between us. Daehyun smiled at me, but his smile disappeared when he saw me saying, "Let's meet when lilies bloom and say goodbye as they wither."
Prangs!! Daehyun pulled the tablecloth and made all the things on it fall to the floor, including the vase and the lily. He stood up panting, looked at the white lilies scattered at his feet, then quickly walked back to his room. "Why? Why is everything like this?" he asked himself in the middle of his steps. "I know, I managed to get you easily, but I never thought I'd get more from you. Our kids... I know, we've lost her, but I still can't accept that I should lose you too!" he muttered alone which he ended by slamming the door of his room.

I managed to finish my laundry alone, with no one breaking. When I wanted to wash my hands again, I suddenly thought of Daehyun by myself. I daydreamed with tap water running through my hands. "Am I a fool if I still think of you. Am I being selfish, if I still wish everything was back the way it used to be?" I thought with a body that started to shake as it held back the crying. "I hate you, but I still love you. I'd be lying if I said I could forget you. I have already given everything to you. I've already made you the center of my life and it's too hard to forget." I said in my heart until finally, my body slowly slumped while holding on to the sink.
Back at Daehyun, the handsome young man sat leaning against the door of his room. "If we can be together again, I'll take you to a place where there are only the two of us. I'll kiss you sweet every morning. I will hold your hand all day long and in the middle of a beautiful night I will confess to you with the moon as our light that I will always love you. I'll hold you all night, put you to bed in my crib... Hana, I miss you," he murmured.
