Onew was puzzled when Wooyoung called him a while ago to see him. Wooyoung had told him that it was urgent and Onew just agreed straight away. Was it concerning his sister? It made Onew wondered none stop as he continued to drive towards the restaurant which Wooyoung had forced him to come to. Hara who was sitting at his side was giving him a curious look. He had no explanation on himself as well so he just shrugged.
Finally when Onew and Hara finally reached the restaurant, they were surprised to see Wooyoung seated at an empty table with a smiling Jieun at his side. Onew raised an eyebrow before pulling Hara towards the table. Hara gave a cheerful greeting when she saw Jieun and Wooyoung.
“What, are you two finally together?” Hara blurted out, causing Wooyoung to blush a deep red. It made Onew wondered even more.
***
‘Aish! This noona is embarrassing me to the core!’ Wooyoung thought.
“So, why did you ask me to meet you here?” Onew asked as he stared at Wooyoung in confusion. “And why is Jieun here with you?”
Wooyoung could not help but grinned helplessly. It was not easy for him to accept this dare from Jieun. Indeed she was not an easy girl. She had a few conditions before she could accept him to be her boyfriend. He groaned inwardly when he remembered what she had told him earlier…
***
*One hour earlier*
“Jieun-ah, I think I am falling in love with you.” Wooyoung finally said it.
Jieun on the other hand stared at him in disbelief and Wooyoung watched as she accidentally dropped her sandwich. Wooyoung acted quickly as he picked up the sandwich and placed it back into the plastic. Wooyoung looked up to see Jieun gaping at him still.
“I-I’m sorry to be so direct. I don’t really know how to give a proper confession.” Wooyoung mumbled.
“Uh, ani. I was kind of surprised myself.” Jieun replied blushing.
“It’s just that, after yesterday, I was very thankful to you.” Wooyoung said with a shrug. “And just that, without me knowing I think I started developing this weird feeling towards you.”
“Uh, really?” Jieun gave out a nervous chuckle. “I didn’t know that.”
“Um, to tell you the truth, I was here last night, watching you study in the library.” Wooyoung told her. Jieun looked straight at him and gave him a curious look.
“Sinchia-yo?” Jieun asked and Wooyoung nodded.
“I had Onew hyung’s car with me.” Wooyoung shrugged again. “He told me to take it from his workplace and well yeah, I drove it here and I thought of giving you a ride in it.”
“How come I didn’t see you in the library? Were you hiding somewhere?”
Wooyoung shot her a guilty smile. “Yeah, I did.”
“Eyy! Then why didn’t you approach me?” Jieun asked with a shy smile playing on her lips.
“I-I don’t know how to. I was nervous myself.” Wooyoung returned the smile. He was confident now that Jieun had the same feelings as him!
“Aigoo!” Jieun sighed.
“Seriously, I was actually unsure of what my feeling was for you at that time.” Wooyoung said, suddenly turning serious. “Until I saw that hug.”
“Hug? What hug?” Jieun frowned.
“Well, it was quite silly of me actually.” Wooyoung told her with a groan. He had his face buried in his hands.
“Yah! Oppa! Pali tell me!” Jieun said as she tried to pry his hands off his face.
“You are quite eager to know aren’t you?” Wooyoung asked as he brought his hands down before placing them around Jieun’s smaller ones. He gave a sly smile which caused Jieun to blush almost immediately.
“Aish! If you’re going to tease me again, then I’d better go.” Jieun said with a pout as she tried to pull her hands off.
“Aniya! I thought you wanted to know what happen…” Wooyoung whined, not wanting to let go of Jieun’s hands.
Jieun continued pouting, averting her eyes away from looking at Wooyoung. Wooyoung continued to smile.
“And I caught myself in a misunderstanding with your oppa.” Wooyoung continued with his story.
“Oppa? Onew oppa?” Jieun asked, finally looking back at Wooyoung. “But how?”
“You see, I actually saw you and hyung hugging from across the street.” Wooyoung told her with his head bent low. “I thought the two of you were lovers.”
“Ne?!” Jieun gasped. “Oppa! That’s so gross!”
“Mianhe. I know, I shouldn’t jump into conclusion.” Wooyoung sighed.
“We’re siblings for God’s sake!”
“Yeah, but I didn’t know it at that time!” Wooyoung exclaimed, squeezing onto Jieun’s hands tightly. “But what I know at that time was my feelings for you.”
“Ne?” Jieun gulped, suddenly turning quiet.
“Ne. The moment I saw Onew hyung and you hugging each other, I felt jealous. I could not help myself. In fact, I could feel my heart hurting very badly.” Wooyoung said and Jieun just bit her bottom lips. “I drove home and locked myself in my room and started thinking about everything that happened the past few days, the day we first met, when we bumped into each other, when I walked you home, when we met each other coincidentally at this corridor…” Wooyoung turned to look at the exact spot which he and Jieun had actually bumped into each other. Jieun looked at the spot fondly as well before smiling.
“I started to think about that afternoon when you had saved me from being framed. I was thankful, definitely. But when I started to think about the kiss I gave you, then I know I really, really like you. In fact, I think I may love you even. I can’t explain that feeling of jealousy which invaded me every time I thought of that hug. It made me lose sleep.” Wooyoung chuckled. “And I still can’t believe I stood up to Onew hyung this morning.”
“Y-You stood up to him? Meaning?” Jieun widened her eyes in shock.
Wooyoung laughed. “I allowed the jealousy in me to get the better of me. I even called him a pedophile. I was a crazy bastard this morning.”
Jieun smiled. “Well, I think you are.”
“Only for you.” Wooyoung whispered causing Jieun to blush again.
“Um, and when you found out the truth?” Jieun cleared her throat as she tried to brush away that shy feeling out of her system.
“I felt stupid indeed.” Wooyoung told her with a shrug.
“Hm, so, everything’s okay between you and oppa now?”
“I guess so.” Wooyoung nodded his head. “Hey, he even allowed me to use his car!” Wooyoung grinned as he dangled Onew’s car keys in front of Jieun.
“Yah! So you’re using me just to use oppa’s car?” Jieun pouted and Wooyoung laughed.
“Of course not!” Wooyoung said before grasping Jieun’s hands again. “I could even survive public buses and long walks as long as I’m with you.”
“Aigoo!” Jieun was blushing madly.
“You’re so cute like this!” Wooyoung tilted his head to observe Jieun who kept on trying to avoid his eyes. “Well, so are we a couple now?”
“Who said so?” Jieun mumbled and Wooyoung grinned.
“Well I say so. And Onew hyung said so too. Even Yonghwa hyung said so too. And even Tony hyung. And I bet even your unnies said so too!” Wooyoung winked.
“So I’m trapped in your scheme, I can’t believe it.” Jieun sighed.
“Hey, you should be proud to have me as a boyfriend you know. I’m the famous science lab oppa!” Wooyoung exclaimed and Jieun rolled her eyes.
“What’s so good in being famous.” Jieun pouted before suddenly smiling wide. Wooyoung could tell she was thinking of something really weird.
“What are you thinking about?” Wooyoung immediately asked Jieun who continued grinning crazily.
“You really want to date me?” Jieun asked with an innocent look. Wooyoung just nodded away. “Well then, I have a few conditions for you.”
“Conditions?” Wooyoung stared in disbelief.
“Ne.” Jieun nodded her head confidently.
Wooyoung pondered for a moment before finally making up his mind. “Ahrasso. Tell me what they are? I’m sure I’ll be able to do them.”
“Since you willingly agreed, I have no choice but to tell them to you now.” Jieun shrugged but still keeping that silly smile on her pretty face.
“Okay, what are the conditions?”
“I have two conditions for you to fulfill.” Jieun started. “Firstly, since you’re the hot science lab oppa in college, and from what I heard from my best friend, Soonkyu, you had never really acknowledged any of them before.”
“What? I do smile… Sometimes.”
“It’s not enough oppa. Do you know how fond they are of you?”
“I-I’m not sure.” Wooyoung shrugged. “I’m just not interested in them.”
“So now, my first condition actually kind of involved them in a way.” Jieun smirked and Wooyoung groaned.
“Yah! As long as the condition doesn’t involve me kissing them.” Wooyoung said jokingly causing Jieun to frown for a while.
“You’re gross oppa.” Jieun shook her head.
“Why? You’re jealous right? Admit it.” Wooyoung teased.
Jieun ignored Wooyoung and continued. “No kissing, but I want you to walk up to them and praise them, like ‘you’re pretty’ or ‘you’re cute’, things like that. Any girls you see along your way in Yonsei University.”
“Yah! That’s too much!”
“Oppa,” Jieun whined pleadingly. “Let them be happy for a moment.”
Wooyoung sighed. How could he say ‘no’ to Jieun when she was acting all cute like that?
“Ahrasso.” Wooyoung agreed with a pout himself.
“Great!” Jieun pulled her hands out of Wooyoung’s grasps and clapped her hands excitedly.
“So what’s the other condition?” Wooyoung asked lazily before placing his head on the table.
“The other one?” Jieun grinned. “But you must do it immediately after I tell you okay?”
“Ne, ne, ahrasso.” Wooyoung just nodded his head.
“Well, since you really want to date me right, and you really want me to be your girlfriend, I want you to ask my brother formally and asked him whether you could date me formally.” Jieun said. “But you have to kneel down in front of him and asked him!”
Hearing what Jieun just said, Wooyoung immediately sat up in shock. He could not possibly be doing what she had just asked him to do. He would make a fool of himself, and in front of Onew nonetheless! He was sure Onew would be making it a joke after the whole ordeal was over! And Jieun’s character was so similar like Onew’s character! No wonder they are siblings! Onew could be funny, in a weird way and Jieun was just a female clone of him!
“Are you game enough?” Jieun wiggled his eyebrows at him with that silly smirk still plastered on her face.
Wooyoung groaned. “Ahrasso. It’s only because I really, really, helplessly in love with you.”
Jieun clapped her hands once again. “Yeah! Let’s go meet him now!”
***
“So, why did you ask me to meet you here?” Wooyoung heard Onew asking and he just gulped in response. He could feel Jieun poking on his thigh and looked at her nervously before turning back to look at Onew.
“Um, should we order some food first hyung?” Wooyoung suddenly said earning a glare from Jieun but he ignored it. “I’m kind of hungry.”
“Ahrasso. Hara and I hadn’t had our lunch yet either.” Onew said before taking a look at the menu.
The four friends ordered some lunch and soon lunch was served. Hara and Onew ate their lunch with their occasional jokes and laughter. Jieun was having the time of her life, laughing together with her oppa and unnie, while at the same time reminding Wooyoung of the condition.
Once lunch was over, Onew looked over at Wooyoung and waited for him to say whatever he wanted to say.
***
“So what did you want to tell me earlier?” Onew asked as he eyed Wooyoung who was looking pale for no reason at all. He looked over at his sister, Jieun, who looked as if she was trying to hold back laughter.
Suddenly Onew gasped, pushing his chair back in the process when Wooyoung suddenly stood up and knelt on both knees in front of him. Hara was surprised as well and stood up to look at Wooyoung. She then looked at Jieun who was still trying her best to hold back from laughing out loud.
“Yah! What the hell are you doing?” Onew exclaimed, still in shock.
“Hyung! Listen to me first!” Wooyoung said out loud and clear causing Onew to turn silent. “I am really, really in love with your sister, Lee Jieun. Kneeling myself in front of you, I want to seek your permission to date Jieun officially. I promise you that I will care for her, love her and most importantly I will not hurt her!” Wooyoung cringed, unable to believe that he was doing this. “Please hyung, give me your permission to date her.”
Onew gaped. He was in total shock. He seriously did not expect something so scary coming out from Wooyoung. Then he heard laughter coming from behind him. He turned to see Hara laughing till tears streamed out of her eyes. Then he heard another laughter coming from Jieun herself. She was clapping her hands in the process before giving Wooyoung a fond look. Finally Onew got the hint, he knew Jieun well enough. He was now sure that Jieun had made Wooyoung pulled that kind of stunt. He smirked.
“Yah! You’re stupid you know that?” Onew said as he gave a nudge on Wooyoung’s shoulder.
“So do you give me permission or not?” Wooyoung looked up at Onew with a frown. He definitely looked angry, well embarrassed was more like it.
“Of course!” Onew grinned and finally Wooyoung stood up.
“Hyung, I didn’t know your sister is this scary.” Wooyoung said before sitting down on the chair again.
“That makes her special.” Onew winked. He then turned to look at Jieun who was still laughing. “Yah! Treat Wooyoung nicely will you. He’s a good guy.”
“Yeah!” Wooyoung looked at Jieun as well. “And we’re official now, ahrasso? So make sure you don’t look at other guys!”
“Yah!” Onew slapped a hand on top of Wooyoung’s head. “You dare give orders to my sister?”
Wooyoung cowered. This was one thing which made Onew a bit scary. He could get a little short-tempered at times. “Sorry hyung. I was just saying.” Wooyoung shrugged.
“Oppa, be kind will you?” Jieun glared at her brother. “Wooyoung’s my boyfriend now, so please do not be too harsh on him.”
“I’ll try.” Onew shrugged.
“You better be. I don’t want to see Jieun being hurt because of your attitude.” Hara said eyeing Onew through slit eyes.
“Okay, okay.” Onew cringed under Hara’s stare. Onew knew he was permanently wrapped around Hara’s little finger and he could do nothing about it. In fact he was more than willing!
***
Wooyoung on the other hand was glad that finally his ordeal was over! He looked over at Jieun and saw her smiling sweetly at him.
“I love you!” He mouthed at her and saw her blushing.
“I love you too.” Jieun mouthed back shyly.
Wooyoung thought he was in heaven!

Saturday morning was a really the most anticipated day for a few people. Down at Joori’s house, the girls were busy fighting over the toilet. Seohyun and Hara found themselves standing outside the bathroom with pouts on their faces.
“Yah! Jieun-ah! How long are you going to take in there!” Seohyun shouted, clearly annoyed with the maknae.
“You’ve been in there for almost twenty minutes!” Hara shouted as well. “You better hurry up before I break this door down!”
“Jieun-ah! Pali! We’re going to be late!” Seohyun started to whine.
The moment Jieun stepped opened the toilet door, both Seohyun and Hara started to enter the toilet. They started fighting on who should get in first. Jieun gave a slight grin before escaping towards her room to get ready. Finally Seohyun and Hara agreed to get in the toilet together quickly did their normal routines of washing up.
Joori on the other hand was already up even earlier than her housemates. She had all the time to get herself ready before entering the kitchen to start making breakfast. Of course it was still Saturday and there will surely be their normal Saturday morning jog before having their breakfast. But that morning would be different. There were others who were going to join them for their morning jog.
Joori grinned before continuing with making breakfast.

Tony groaned when he heard his alarm went off at six o’clock in the morning. He forced himself up before heading towards Yonghwa’s room. He peeked his head inside his brother’s room to see him seated down on his bed.
“You’re up?” Tony asked groggily as he walked over towards Yonghwa and sat himself on his bed.
“Ah, hyung. You’re up too?” Yonghwa asked as he rubbed his eyes.
“Aish! Do we have to go for the jog as well? Can’t we just join them for breakfast?” Tony asked.
“Of course we have to go for the jog as well!” Yonghwa exclaimed, perking up.
“Ahrasso, ahrasso.” Tony groaned. “Yah! Let’s go wake the rest up.”
Yonghwa grinned. “I like that idea!”
Soon, Tony and Yonghwa were creeping towards Onew’s room. They cracked the door opened and saw Onew who was still wrapped in his blankets, comfortably sleeping. Tony and Yonghwa grinned at each other mischievously before running towards Onew and landed themselves on top of him. Onew groaned as he tried to push his two friends off him.
“You bastards!” Onew shouted, half awake and half asleep.
“Yah! Wake up already!” Yonghwa said, kicking Onew on his back.
“That hurts!” Onew said, his voice muffled by the blankets.
“If you don’t want us to hurt you even more, then jolly well get up!” Tony threatened and soon Onew was sitting up on the bed with his eyes still closed.
“Get ready! We’re going jogging, don’t forget that!” Tony told him.
“But it’s always the rooftop for us every Saturday.” Onew said, still in his sleepy state.
Yonghwa gave another knock onto Onew’s head which finally woke him up. “There’s no need for anymore rooftops in future. Seo Joohyun and I are official, remember?”
“Ah! I forgot!” Onew grinned before standing up.
“Let’s go wake Wooyoung up now!” Yonghwa said excitedly.
“There’s no need to. I’m already up!” Wooyoung said as he entered Onew’s room.
“Why are you always so punctual?” Tony frowned with his hands on his hips.
“Because that’s just the way I am?” Wooyoung raised an eye brow.
“Whatever.” Onew said as he pushed Wooyoung to the side with a grin. “I do not need to ask your permission to enter the toilet do I?”
The moment Onew said that, Yonghwa and Tony started laughing hysterically. Wooyoung bit his lips, knowing fully well what Onew was referring to.
“Hyung, I am so telling Hara noona about you.” Wooyoung said as he folded his arms.
“Go on, tell her.” Onew said before hurrying towards the toilet to wash up.
“And I am so telling Joori noona and Seohyun noona about you two!” Wooyoung said again, facing Tony and Yonghwa this time.
“What did we do? Is laughing a crime now?” Yonghwa asked, with rounded eyes.
“Whatever hyung.” Wooyoung said before heading towards the kitchen.
Tony and Yonghwa just shrugged before grinning slyly. Then they hurried off to get ready for the morning jog.
