Sister, Back-off From MY MAN

In reflex, Song Ji Hwan's gaze travelled to the scene on the screen where he witnessed a gruesome murder happening.

He then looked at his hand which was being tightly clutched by Aera, who had her eyes closed in fear.

The woman on the screen was loudly shouting and with the increase in the intensity of her voice Aera's hold on Song Ji Hwan's hand tightened.

He looked at the small girl, who tightly closed her eyes frightened by the scene they just witnessed.

Song Ji Hwan tried to remove her hand which was wrapped around his wrist but she was stronger than he expected.

"Hey" Ji Hwan leaned towards her, "Can you let go of my hand?" he whispered.

Aera slowly opened her frightened eyes and looked at him.

"If you are so scared go and hold my brother's hand, this is a good opportunity to make your move on him" he sincerely advised signalling at Song Ji Hun.

Aera slowly shook her head in no.

"Why not?"

"I don't want him to see me like this" Aera whispered back.

"Like what?"

"Scared, timid and weak."

Song Ji Hwan was not sure if he should laugh or roll his eyes hearing her reply.

"Are you really a nine-year-old?" He asked only to get glared at by Aera.

"Fine, so you don't want to look weak so you'd rather hide your fear from him and take my help instead?" he asked and she nodded her head in confirmation.

Song Ji Hwan chuckled, "You are weird"

The gruesome scene was over so he asked her to let go of his hand which she did but again when another scary scene appeared, she again held his hand in reflex.

"Hey, why do you keep holding my hand?" Song Ji Hwan asked in frustration as she even hurt him by piercing her nails into his skin when the scene got too scary.

"Because I don't care what you think of me" Aera honestly replied.

Song Ji Hwan: "…"

"You are hurting my hand" he finally said.

"I am sorry" Aera apologized but didn't let go of his hand, she just loosened her hold.

Song Ji Hwan sighed giving up in front of her as he could see on her face how terrified she was.

"Fine, I'll let you hold my hand but remember now you owe me two favours. One for exchanging seats with you and another for letting you hold my hand." 

Aera nodded her head agreeing to it as she somewhat understood the concept of owing when Song Ji Hwan explained it to her earlier.

Throughout the whole movie, she held Song Ji Hwan's hand and if she was too scared, she kept hiding her face in his arm.

On the other side, during every scene Kiaraa didn't stop her condescending comments making fun of the movie.

She was the only one there, who finds comical angle in a horror movie. 

When one of the characters killed his wife over a misunderstanding, Kiaraa said, "Killing his wife was fine, but why the hell did he had to kill his son and the cat? Poor son and the poor cat."

"K, shhh, we are seriously watching the movie" Ian warned her while stroking his sister's head, who was holding his hand as she was terrified of the gruesome scene they just witnessed.

Kiaraa noticed Kim Do-Yun's frightened expression and in reflex she turned to see in Aera's direction and tried to check how her sister is doing as she is aware what Aera must have been going through.

Seeing Aera and Song Ji Hwan seriously talking something and Aera holding Hwan's hand, she sighed in relief.

'That's why I didn't allow her to watch this movie as she will be scared but good that Song Ji Hwan is taking her responsibility as promised or else…'

"What are you thinking?" Ian suddenly asked Kiaraa interrupting her thoughts as she was looking in the other direction.

"I am just predicting the next scene" she lied and he believed.

In the next scene another guy commits suicide, "Why does everyone keep dying in this movie? Can't they scare us without killing people?" Kiaraa muttered loud enough for everyone to hear.

"Can't you watch a movie without your running commentary?" Song Ji Hwan questioned her shouting from his seat.

"No, I can't" Kiaraa answered him back.

They all continued watching the movie.

When the first part of the movie was over, they all took a small interval during which the servants served them the food they all ordered.

"It is so difficult to watch a movie with Kiaraa" Ian exclaimed.

"Yeah, she has a problem with every scene" Song Ji Hwan added agreeing with Ian.

"Excuse me? I raise all logical questions. You all just want to watch whatever that is being shown to you, you people have no opinion." Kiaraa argued back.

"Logical questions? Please, you just try to find fault with everything" Ian argued back.

"At times even that is fun." Kiaraa justified herself making Ian smile.

"No, it is not fun at all. While watching your Romeo and Juliet play, I walked away from her because of her unnecessary commentary" Song Ji Hwan casually informed Ian.

"And by walking away you missed on a lot of fun, right Song Ji Hun, didn't we enjoy making fun of…?" Kiaraa suddenly trailed off as she realized what she just did in the heat of this argument.

"Making fun of what, Kiaraa?" Ian asked her as her words surprised him.

He realized she lied to him when she said she genuinely enjoyed his play and didn't make fun of it at all.

Now, knowing that she made fun of his play and that too with Song Ji Hun, Ian got pissed.

"We made fun of your play and we indeed had a lot of fun" Song Ji Hun who was clueless of the lie she said, honestly answered Ian as he could see how annoyed Ian was and he wished to push him off the edge.
