Sister, Back-off From MY MAN

"What? No. She rather has a crush on you" Kiaraa slipped her tongue and the next minute her eyes widened in shock.

Although, she teases Aera about it, she doesn't wish to meddle between her sister's personal life as she herself would hate it if Aera meddled in hers.

Song Ji Hun was a bit taken aback when he heard Kiaraa's words but the next second he composed himself, "We are running out of time" he informed her as they still didn't solve the clue.

"Y…yeah" 

Song Ji Hun looked around this park and he found mountains which could be seen from here.

"This is the third park from where we can see the mountains" He informed her.

"Hmm, so there are only three such parks as these were the last ones in this place"

Before coming here, in two other gardens they saw the same mountains.

"Setting Sun, Starry Night, Silvery Light of the moon and scented flowers can be seen from all these gardens" Song Ji Hun commented.

"Hmm, my doubt is why did it say snowy mountains? It is summer right now" Kiaraa mentioned the thing that bothered her.

"Let's check this garden properly like those other two" Song Ji Hun started walking around the garden while observing the mountains and suddenly he stopped in his tracks.

"Kiaraa, come here" He called her from behind the big tree, under which Hwan and Aera are sleeping.

On one side of the tree these two kids were sleeping while on the other side, Song Ji Hun seriously stood observing something.

"What?" Kiaraa joined him behind the tree.

Moving to one side, Song Ji Hun said, "Look at those mountains from between these branches, this angle makes those clouds look like a snow on the mountains"

"Wow! Where?" Kiaraa tried to stand on her toes but still couldn't see it as she was still a bit short unlike Song Ji Hun who was already 5'8.

Seeing her struggle, Song Ji Hun hesitatingly asked her, "You mind if I lift you?"

Kiaraa's heart which she was able to calm down long ago again started beating faster.

"Okay" she ignored her fast-pounding heart and agreed as she didn't wish to miss this view.

Holding her waist from behind, Song Ji Hun easily lifted the light-weighted girl. Kiaraa held a thin branch for support to not put her whole weight on Song Ji Hun and exclaimed in awe when she indeed saw the beautiful view ahead of her.

"It indeed looks like snowy mountains" Kiaraa agreed with Song Ji Hun.

In the other two gardens when they checked around the place, they didn't find any such view, only this garden had it.

"Yeah, this is the location in our clue" Song Ji Hun concluded.

Kiaraa hummed and the next second the thin branch she was holding broke due to her weight and Song Ji Hun, who was just supporting her waist didn't see this coming.

Kiaraa, therefore ended up suddenly jumping on his feet hurting it.

Song Ji Hun slightly groaned in pain, "Oh no, I am so sorry, does it hurt?" Kiaraa turned around and worriedly looked at Song Ji Hun.

"It is fine" Song Ji Hun was able to bear with the pain.

"No, it is not, my shoes have sharp soles" Kiaraa tried to sit on the ground to check his foot but Song Ji Hun held her arms, stopping her from bending, "It's okay, I can bear with this pain"

"But let me see if your leg is bleeding" Kiaraa was still worried as she knows how hard she jumped on his foot.

"My shoes are not bad enough to not protect me, don't worry" Subconsciously Song Ji Hun tugged a strand of her hair which kept falling on her face, as she was looking down at his feet.

Kiaraa was surprised at this action of his and her eyes widened a bit in shock.

That was when Song Ji Hun realized what he just did.

'Shit, why did I do that? I was able to control myself till now and… shit' Song Ji Hun cursed in his heart and moved his hand away as he now ruined their almost bond.

Kiaraa continued looking at Song Ji Hun in surprise waiting for him to explain his actions while Ji Hun was thinking how to do so.

They were standing a bit too close looking into each other's eyes.

To increase the distance between them Kiaraa took a step behind and her back was about to hit the big tree trunk which had rough patches on it that could hurt her back.

But instead of feeling the rough trunk behind her, she felt a soft hand as Song Ji Hun immediately placed a hand between her back and the tree to not let her get hurt.

Kiaraa was again surprised at his actions, "It would hurt" he explained himself.

"Why do you care?" Kiaraa asked him almost in a whisper.

Song Ji Hun didn't reply to her, unsure of the right answer.

Kiaraa could feel some intensity in his eyes and subconsciously moved closer to him, still looking into his deep eyes.

Song Ji Hun for the first time saw something unexplainable in her eyes, which pulled him towards her.

As if he wanted to break the walls, he built around him.

Unsure of what got into him, Song Ji Hun too leaned closer to her, his face near hers closing the distance between them.

He suddenly wished to answer her question in his actions instead of in words.

Kiaraa's heart almost jumped out seeing Song Ji Hun lean closer to her as if he was about to kiss her but instead of pushing him away, she closed her eyes in reflex.

Song Ji Hun was surprised to see this, motivated by her response, he leaned closer with the intention of leaving a peck on her beautiful lips.

Kiaraa felt him coming closer to her as she felt his hot breath on her face, which reminded her of their close intimacy from earlier and she equally anticipated this kiss.

Song Ji Hun's eyes were open and he observed her even more closely before touching his lips with her. Just before his thin lips were supposed to touch her plump ones, a loud voice interrupted them.

"Kiaraa is that you?"

Kiaraa opened her eyes in a jolt and gently pushed back Song Ji Hun, who himself was startled by the annoying voice that rang around them.

Ian headed towards the other side of the tree, by the time he reached Song Ji Hun already moved back a few steps creating an appropriate gap between him and Kiaraa.

"Finally, I found you" Ian happily stepped towards Kiaraa and hugged her tightly while Kiaraa and Song Ji Hun awkwardly looked at each other.

Ian had been roaming all over this amusement park to find Kiaraa and now after reaching the last zone of the park, he finally saw two people sleeping on the ground below a tree. 

Ian's gaze noticed some movement from behind the tree and spotted a part of someone's dress, hoping it was Kiaraa he called her name and headed there.

When he reached there, he finally saw Kiaraa. 

Seeing her, calmed his heart down. He didn't sense the tension in the air and neither did he notice the awkwardness between Kiaraa and Song Ji Hun.

"It was so difficult to find you" Ian again said hugging the girl, who still looked at Song Ji Hun as she was confused about what just happened between them.

This was not normal. She never acted like this before. It was awkward.

Seeing Ian there and Kiaraa not uttering a word, Song Ji Hun stepped away and continued reading the clue again to distract himself.

He was not actually reading it but he didn't like Ian hugging Kiaraa, to hide the jealousy in his eyes he wished to pay attention to something else.

"K?" Ian called her as she didn't respond and continued looking at Song Ji Hun, who was reading the clue as if nothing almost happened between them.

"K?"

"Hmm" Kiaraa was finally pulled from her thoughts and responded.

"Why are you wearing this men's hoodie?" Ian got annoyed as he realized this belonged to Song Ji Hun.

"We were doing a task and my clothes got wet" Kiaraa mechanically answered him, her mind still thinking about why she closed her eyes and gave silent consent to the kiss.

Then her mind wondered why did Song Ji Hun attempt to kiss her, doesn't he like her sister?

"Still, is your t-shirt dry now?" Ian touched the shirt wrapped around her waist but it was still partially wet.

"Should we complete this clue?" Song Ji Hun didn't like Ian touching Kiaraa and decided to interrupt them.

"Hmm" Kiaraa nodded her head.

"It is for sure that the clue is in this garden but the fragrance of the noon is still a puzzle" Song Ji Hun tried his best to focus on this puzzle.
