Sister, Back-off From MY MAN

"You like her?" Song Ji Hun suddenly asked his brother only to hear him laugh as if he just heard a joke.

"What's so funny about it?" Yang Nam-il questioned Hwan, who couldn't stop laughing.

"Hahaha, guys, one minute, hahahaha, I can't stop laughing." Song Ji Hwan managed to say between his laughter.

Song Ji Hun and Yang Nam-il patiently waited for Hwan to complete his laughter, which went on for at least three more minutes.

Once Song Ji Hwan calmed down, he asked, "Are you serious?"

Song Ji Hun calmly took out his phone and opened the gallery on his phone.

"See this" Ji Hun handed his phone to Yang Nam-il, who was surprised at what he saw.

"Wow, this is new" He commented.

"Hmm, it was clicked today at the amusement park" Song Ji Hun informed his friend.

"Let me first send this to myself" Yang Nam-il sent the picture to his phone before showing it to a confused looking Hwan, who was wondering what these two were talking about.

The next minute, when he saw the photo of Aera sleeping on his shoulders, hugging him in the park this afternoon, Hwan face-palmed himself.

"How narrow-minded are you two? We were just tired and slept. There was distance between us and I think in her sleep she moved closer. Maybe sleeping habits" Song Ji Hwan explained himself.

"Why are you explaining so much?" Yang Nam-il had a teasing smile on his face.

"Excuse me! Let me make one thing very clear to the two of you. I will never like this dumb girl who is into my brother" Song Ji Hwan declared furiously as he didn't like the direction in which this discussion was heading in.

"Don't get furious, we are just trying to understand why you don't want me to reject her" Song Ji Hun rarely saw his brother angry so he tried to calm him down.

"Hyung, if I like her, I would have asked you to reject her immediately and not do the opposite. I pity that girl and that's why I am asking you to not break her heart. Also, she is young, even if you reject her, she won't understand."

"Also, tell me one thing, how are you planning to reject her? She never confessed to you directly. Will you just randomly approach her and say – 'Hey Aera, I got to know you like me but I don't like you so please get over me. Is that what you will say?"

Song Ji Hwan questioned Ji Hun.

"I feel you are over reacting" Song Ji Hun calmly replied.

"Just wait for a few years, if she doesn't get over you, you can reject her" Song Ji Hwan suggested.

"Fine, this Sunday, I'll at least make it clear to Kiaraa that I am not a bit interested in her sister" Song Ji Hun declared.

"What is going on with you and Kiaraa?" Song Ji Hwan had no context and his curious mind was not letting him stay at peace.

"Nothing" Song Ji Hun didn't wish to talk to Hwan about the stuff between him and Kiaraa.

Although he loves his younger brother a lot, there are a few things he doesn't feel comfortable talking about.

"At times I feel my brother loves you more than he loves me" Song Ji Hwan got annoyed with Yang Nam-il.

"The bond between friends is different, at the end of the day, he loves you the most" Yang Nam-il consoled the guy, who he too considers as a younger brother.

"Anyway, I hope we are clear on Aera?" Song Ji Hwan asked.

"Hmm, I am still not sure if it is indeed out of pity you are acting like this or not but since you keep insisting, I am not going to reject her but remember Hwan, if in future Aera creates trouble for me, then it is your responsibility to handle her" Song Ji Hun declared and for the time being Hwan agreed with it.

"You may go now" Yang Nam-il teasingly smiled at Hwan, who rolled his eyes but left from there to give the two friends their privacy.

"You should clearly tell Kiaraa you are not interested in her sister, even a bit" Yang Nam-il said.

"Hmm, but I still don't understand why was she angry"

"Maybe she felt embarrassed and hid it with her anger" Yang Nam-il guessed.

"Hmm, possible"

"Ji Hun, what are you going to talk to her on Sunday? How are you going to explain yourself?" Yang Nam-il addressed the most important question.

"That's what I have been thinking too. Should I just confess my feelings?" Song Ji Hun asked him.

Yang Nam-il was shocked and immediately shook his head, "Are you crazy? She will freak out if you will suddenly tell her, you had a crush on her for a few years now"

"Freak out?" Song Ji Hun raised his eyebrows in doubt.

"Obviously. If a guy, she didn't interact much with, if suddenly claims he likes her, then she will definitely feel awkward. She might even think you are lying to cover up the awkward encounter or worse, she will think the quality time you spent today was all fake and you did everything to impress her"

Yang Nam-il had a bad feeling about this confession. He felt this was not the right time.

"I was honest today, didn't pretend to impress her" 

"I know that, but she doesn't know. Since, you told me about your crush I observed her more keenly and believe me Ji Hun, your Kiaraa is not like other girls" Yang Nam-il said.

"Hmm, I know that"

"Therefore, I would suggest be very careful with what you say to her" Yang Nam-il suggested.

"Like?"

Yang Nam-il thought for a while before suggesting something to Ji Hun and after some discussion Song Ji Hun liked this idea.

"Hmm, this seems more practical and convincing" Song Ji Hun concluded at the end and looked relieved.

"Yeah, thank goodness you are fine now" Yang Nam-il was glad he was of some help to his friend, who now looked much better than earlier.

"Thanks for always being there for me, Nam-il" 

"Save it, you will always need me, how many times you will keep thanking?" Yang Nam-il joked to which Song Ji Hun agreed.

The two guys then talked about other stuff and went to sleep at early dawn.
