Hyunli walked down the stairs to see Yunho sitting on the couch, in a conversation with Mingi.
Hyunli pursed her lips. She still does not understand why Mingi behaved that way yesterday.
She spent the day in Seonghwa's bed, watching him work and reading a book. Seonghwa had carried her back to her own room to sleep, and today, Yunho woke her up, telling her that if she's feeling okay, she can come down for breakfast.
"Oh. Heejinie. " Yunho's eyes brightened up when he spot the girl. Mingi's eyes met Heejin, and she looked away unhappily.
"Morning, Yunho oppa. " Heejin sulked over to the kitchen, opening the fridge. Yunho raised an eyebrow at Mingi. "What did you do? " He whispered.
Mingi scratched his hair, and stood up. He walked over to Heejin, who was looking at the contents of the fridge. He took a deep breathe, before he hugged her waist from the back.
"Sorry, Heejin-ah. " Mingi whispered, his chin above her shoulder. "I shouldn't have... Been so nasty. "
Heejin made a sound that sounded like "humph". Like a giant puppy, Mingi rubbed his cheek against her neck. "Sorry. "
"What did Mingi do? Tell me, Heejinie, I'll teach him a lesson. " Yunho came into the kitchen, holding his fist up.
Heejin closed the fridge door, taking the blueberry jam. She removed Mingi's hands, still ignoring him.
Mingi looked towards Yunho for help, and the older shrugged. Yunho moved towards Heejin, and helped the girl as she reached for the bread. "Come on, don't be mad at Mingi. " He said, leaning against the counter and watched Heejin as she applied the jam to the bread.
"I'm not angry. I'm hurt. " Heejin said, closing the jam and pushed past Mingi on her way to the fridge. "All of you were so weird yesterday."
Yunho made a face to Mingi, and the latter rubbed his nose. Yunho shake his head at him, and pulled Heejin towards him. He held her cheeks together, pulling her lips upwards with his fingers. "What can Mingi do to make you smile again? "
Heejin's eyes light up, but it quickly vanished. Yeosang's warning was still ringing in her head.
"Come on, Heejinie. " Yunho pinched her cheeks lightly. Heejin turned to look towards Mingi, and she giggled.
"I want oppa to wear the dinosaur costume and sing and dance to ponytail. "
Yunho laughed, as Mingi's face was twisted. He turned even more pale when Heejin added another request, still smiling.
"With aegyo. "
Yunho laughed even louder. A few years ago, Yeosang was drunk, and he danced to a kids song. Hongjoong had bought two dinosaur costumes and made San and Mingi wore them, because they lost a bet.
"Alright. " Mingi sighed. Heejin smiled brightly, running out of the kitchen. "Let me get my video camera! "
They watched as she ran out. Yunho folded his arms, grinning at Mingi. "Who could have imagine one of the most notorious assassins in the world would do this? "
Mingi glared at Yunho. "You're enjoying this, aren't you? "
Yunho patted his shoulder. "You made Heejinie angry, so, this is karma. "
Mingi cursed, leaving the kitchen. Heejin had ran back down, with a costume and a video camera.
"Here! " She said, pushing the costume into Mingi's arms. "Go and change it! "
Mingi hunched his shoulders and walked towards the bathroom. Yunho walked over to the couch, as Heejin turned the video camera on.
"Lean on me. " Yunho said, as Heejin sat on his lap, her back against his chest. The bathroom door clicked, and Mingi walked out, looking embarrassed but determined.
Yunho couldn't help but to laugh, as Heejin started the recording. "Oppa, starteu! "
Mingi raised his left arm up. "I got a ponytail, I got a ponytail, I got a po-po-po-po-po-po-ponytail... "
He raised his right hand up into the air and swang his hips, turning around in a circle. Heejin's hands were shaking, and Yunho wiped a tear of laughter from his eyes.
"Yah, let me join in. " He got up from the couch, and winked at Heejin. "Musiceu! Trouble maker! "
Heejin whistled the song, and Yunho danced to it immediately. Mingi took his hand, and Heejin cried out in laughter, the videocamera shaking in her hand.
Mingi and Yunho danced together, as though they were dancing salsa. Then Yunho, with a straight face, begin to twerk in front of Mingi.
The front door opened. Seonghwa spotted the duo first, pulling them away from each other. "Yah! What are you both doing? "
"Hyung! " Yunho said unhappily, as Heejin cried out loud with laughter. Yeosang, followed by Jongho, entered the living room. "What happened? "
Heejin waved the videocamera in her hand. "A gift. Thank you. " She got up from the couch and threw herself into Mingi's arms, flattening the dinosaur in between them. "I forgive you, Mingi oppa. "
She tiptoed and kissed Mingi's cheeks. The latter stroked her hair, blushing a little. "I love you, Heejin-ah. "
"Jongho, you left the door open. " Seonghwa said unhappily, and Heejin's head quickly turned towards the door. She could only see a sea of red and orange, against a blue sky. Jongho shut the door immediately.
Yeosang caught her reaction, and his lips thinned.
"Why are you three back so early? " Yunho said, as Heejin went back into the kitchen to take her bread. Mingi went into the bathroom to change.
Jongho shake his head. "We'll tell you later. "
"What about Hongjoong hyung and San? "
"That too. " Seonghwa said, and smiled at Heejin as she came out of the kitchen. Yeosang stood up, walking over to Heejin.
"Heejinie. Come to my room after lunch, would you? " He asked quietly, as Heejin ate her late breakfast.
"Sure, oppa. " She said, startled.
-
Heejin knocked on Yeosang's door.
"Come in. "
Heejin entered his room. Yeosang was sitting behind a table, wearing his glasses. The medicine and bandages lined the side of the wall neatly. In the corner, a pull up bar was attached next to the window, where the curtains were drawn.
Yeosang removed his glasses, putting his pen down.
"Take a seat, Heejinie. "
