24. Yuri vs Minhos Fans (2/2)
“No!” She shook her head to remind herself.
“What?” Minho lifted his head up, looking at her.
“Huh? N… nothing.” She shook her head vigorously. Minho put the medicine back. She hove a relief sigh as he didn’t ask her more. After that, he put the plaster on the wound part. “Thank you.” She said sincerely.
Minho took a seat beside her. “Are you really okay? Do you hurt somewhere else?”
“No. It’s just here.” She pointed to her knee while giving a gentle smile.
“I’m really sorry.” He said apologetically.
She could feel his sincerity in his eyes and voice. “No, it’s okay. You don’t have to apologize. It’s not your fault.”
“No, it’s really my fault. You are hurt because of my fans. I’m really sorry for it and for unable to help you facing them. I just realized when seeing you already fell to the ground.”
“I’m really okay now. So, you don’t have to worry anymore.”
Minho came closer to her and gave her a hug. “I’m really sorry for making you hurt.” He smiled widely as Yuri’s was in his embrace and she couldn’t see his expression now.
Yuri looked very shocked with Minho’s unexpected hug. However, her lips slowly curled up as she seemed quite liked it too. “Ah! What I’m thinking about?” She mouthed in frustration. “Yah! What are you doing?! I said I’m fine!” She suddenly raised her voice.
Minho controlled the expression of his face and let her go. “I just feel very guilty and wanted to comfort you. That’s all.”
“You purposely did that, isn’t?” Yuri gave a glare to him.
“No, no, no…” Minho bit his lips to hide his smile.
“You…” Yuri pointed to Minho. “You purposely did it, right? You purposely did it, right?” She poked his stomach.
“No!” Minho started laughing as he was quite ticklish.
“Don’t lie! Don’t lie!” Yuri kept poking his stomach.
“Alright, alright!” Minho held Yuri’s hand to stop her from tickling him. They looked into each other’s eyes as Minho held Yuri’s hand. They felt quite awkward.
Yuri cleaned her throat and released her own hand from his hold. “I think we should go to our class back.”
“Ah, yes…” Minho nodded. “Let’s go.” He got up and helped Yuri to get up by holding her shoulders.
“It’s okay. I can walk by myself.” Yuri smiled, convincing that she was really fine.
“Eh~ it’s my responsibility.” Minho kept insisting to help her.
“Hey, what did you do?!” Another angry voice interrupted them.

“What takes Yuri so long?” Yoona and Tiffany started to feel uneasy after 30 minutes, she didn’t still come back.
“I think it’s better if I check her out. You wait here, okay? She maybe comes back here.” Tiffany asked Yoona.
“Ok.” Yoona nodded. Tiffany walked away.
“Hi!” A voice which was coming Yoona’s left side, startled her.
“Oh!” Yoona looked at him.
“It has been a while.”
“Since when you are here?” Yoona asked in shock.
“Wherever you are, I’ll always be there.”
“Aigoo~ Ok Taecyeon, as expected, you never stop being like that.” Yoona chuckled.
“Are you happy now? Being together with that singer?!”
“What do you mean? We are just couple in the show.”
“Oh, really?!” Taecyeon asked in excitement. “Then, when are you going to accept me?” Yoona looked quite shocked with that question. It seemed like Taecyeon still had a hope that she might accept him as her boyfriend. “You know, how much I miss you. I rarely saw you lately as you always spent your time with that singer.”
Yoona was quite awkward and uncomfortable with what Taecyeon said. She really didn’t want to hurt him actually but he was still stubborn. “Taecyeon… I…”
“It’s okay. I understand. I’ll give you more time. I’ll wait until you accept me.” He gave a forced smile.
At the same time, Nickhun was walking to the cafeteria and coincidentally saw Yoona. He smiled widely. “Yoo…” He stopped as he saw a guy beside Yoona, was talking to her. He looked quite mad.
“I have to go first.” Taecyeon said. Yoona nodded. “Bye.” He got up and left. She looked at Taecyeon who was leaving.
“Who is that guy?!” Nickhun whispered to Yoona’s ear seriously.
Yoona looked at him and her eyes went bigger as he looked quite scary. “Oh! What’s wrong with you?”
He took a seat beside Yoona. “Who is him?”
“Well… he’s my friend.”
“Are you sure? Why I haven’t seen him before?”
“Oh, that’s because… em… because I always spent time with you…”
“Does that mean he is not too close with you?”
“Hm…” Yoona didn’t know how to answer his question as she herself wasn’t sure about it.
“Does he like you?”
“Oh, how did you know?”
“Is that the truth?!” Nickhun unconsciously raised his voice in anger.
“Why… why are you getting mad?”
“I… I’m not mad…” He cleaned his throat as he tried to calm down. “Then… are you going to accept him?” He asked hesitantly.
“I’m not sure but I…”
“No, you can’t!” He raised his voice once again.
“Why not?”
“D… don’t… you remember when you signed the contract of the show that you can’t date with any guy as you are my partner in the show?”
“Then, after the contract end, I can accept him?” She smiled.
“You still can’t!” Nickhun scolded her.
“So, what is the problem this time?”
“You really don’t know?” Yoona shook her head. “Aigoo… this is why I’m so worried about you. You are so kind! Do you think he is nice guy?”
“Yes, he’s nice. He has a crush on me since last year but still he never forces me to accept him at all.”
“Ceh!” Nickhun rolled his eyes. “I’m a guy. So, I know what the guy wants. He’s being nice to you because he has a bad intention towards you.”
“Nickhun…” Yoona looked straight into his eyes. “I think you are the one who has a bad intention towards others. Why suddenly you thought of him like that? You just know about him today but I’ve known him for long.”
“I… I…”
“Why? Are you speechless now?” Yoona smiled widely.
“Nevertheless, you still can’t accept him, get it?” He gave a warning. He got up.
“Where are you going?”
“I have to give a warning to that guy. So, he won’t bother you again.” He walked away, leaving Yoona alone there.
“Ceh!” She burst into chuckle. “Did he get jealous?” She asked herself while smiling widely.
“What’s his name?” Nickhun suddenly whispered to Yoona’s ear.
“Oh, you startled me!” Yoona looked very shocked. “His name is Ok Taecyeon.”
“Alright! Ok Taecyeon, you are dead!” Nickhun walked away. He walked around the school, looking for Taecyeon. He seemed like a predator who was hunting its prey.
There were a few girls coming to him. “Nickhun!”
Nickhun forced a smile. “Do you maybe know where is Taecyeon?”
“Taecyeon? Ok Taecyeon?” One of the girls asked.
“Ah, yes. Where is him?”
“He’s over there.”
“Ok, thanks.” Nickhun immediately ran towards Ok Taecyeon. “YAH! Ok Taecyeon!” He yelled.
Taecyeon turned around, facing Nickhun. “Oh, it’s you.” He smirked. “Why?” He folded his arms.
“Are you trying to get close to Yoona?”
“Not just getting close but I’ll make her as my girlfriend. Why? Do you have any problem with that?”
“Yah! Don’t ever dream to get close to her!”
“Why not? Why are you so mad? She isn’t your girlfriend.”
“Who said she’s not my girlfriend?!”
“She said that by herself. You two are just a couple in that show, right?”
“I…” He thought his lying would stop Taecyeon but Yoona already told him the truth. “Then, I’ll make her as my REAL girlfriend soon!”
“Don’t worry because I’ll make sure she will accept me first before you, okay?”
“You really…” Nickhun said angrily while biting his lips.
“I’ve to go now.” Taecyeon walked away.
“Yah! Don’t you dare to get close to her, get it?!” He shouted to Taecyeon who was just walking away, ignoring him. “Aish! Really…” He kicked the ground.

Yuri lifted her head, facing the person who asked angrily before. “Siwon?”
Siwon came closer to them. “Hey, brat! What did you do to her?!” He grabbed Minho’s collar.
Yuri said anxiously, “Siwon, don’t do this. It’s not his mistake.”
Siwon just ignored what Yuri explained. “Tell me what you did to her?!” He tightened his hold on Minho’s collar. “Why suddenly she got hurt?!”
Minho flung off Siwon’s hand from his collar. “Why should I tell you?!”
“You better tell me!” Siwon threw a strong punch towards Minho’s face until he fell down.
“Siwon, no!” Yuri squatted down beside Minho. “Minho, are you okay? Minho?” She asked worriedly. “Oh, you’re bleeding!”
“Yes, I’m fine. Don’t worry.” Minho answered as he wiped the blood at his lips.
“Siwon, it’s not his fault…”
Minho cut her off. “Yuri, you don’t have to explain to him.” He got up and faced Siwon with anger in his eyes. “What rights do you have to know about her?!” He pushed Siwon’s shoulder.
“Of course I have rights to know!” Siwon replied angrily.
“Why? Do you like her? Or, what?!”
“It’s because she is…” Siwon stopped at the words he wanted to tell Yuri is his sister. He had decided to tell Yuri the truth but he didn’t want to let her know in front of others especially Minho. He had to discuss with her personally.
Yuri stared at Siwon attentively as she really was curious to know what he was going to say about their relationship.
“Why are you silent?! Who is she to you?!”
“I don’t have to tell to the stranger.” Siwon looked at Yuri back. “Can I talk to you personally? This is really important.”
“Huh?” Yuri really didn’t expect that.
“Please. This concerns to both of us.”
“Alright.” Yuri nodded. She looked at Minho. “Can you leave us?”
“But…”
“Minho, please. I’m begging you.”
“Ok but please be careful.” Yuri nodded. Minho walked away, leaving those two alone with heavy steps.
Instead of starting their topic, Siwon just stared at Yuri while smiling. Honestly, he had waited for long to tell her about this since he first found out about their relationship.
“Why?” Yuri raised her eyebrows as she was just curious. Usually, she would be angry if there was any guy who didn’t close to her, staring at her while smiling because she thought he would be a pervert. Somehow, with Siwon who she didn’t close to, she wasn’t angry at all. In fact, she was happy too to see his warm smile.
“Finally, I’ve found you, my dongsaeng!” He patted her head like a little girl.
“Dongsaeng?” A frown appeared on Yuri’s face. Seeing Yuri’s confused face, he took off his necklace and showed it to her. “How can this be?” She asked in amazement. “I thought my necklace only has one…”
“It’s same as your necklace, right?”
“Yes, it’s same but the inner design is different…” She kept observing his necklace. “How did you know about my necklace?”
“Oh, about that…” Siwon smiled unsurely. “I admitted that I always observed you but that’s because I wanted to investigate something.”
“Investigate? Why you have to do that?”
“Can you take off your necklace too?” Yuri looked hesitant. “Don’t worry. I won’t do anything. This will answer all your questions.” She finally was willing to take it off and she gave it to Siwon. Yuri just looked attentively what Siwon was doing with these two necklaces. He combined the necklaces at the end sides. “Can you see what it forms?” Siwon showed her the front and back view of these combined necklaces.
Yuri looked very amazed of what Siwon showed her but she still didn’t understand it fully. “SW and YR?” She asked as she looked at him. Siwon just gave a nod while smiling with the hope that she could understand it by herself. “Our names?”
“Yes, our parents gave those to us.”
“Our parents?! That does mean you are my brother?!” Yuri asked in disbelief. “I thought you have…”
“Isn’t that I’m here now?” Yuri suddenly burst into tears. “Hey, why are you crying?” He wiped her tears. “I… I… never thought that I still might have a family…” Yuri walked closer to Siwon and hugged him. He smiled and wrapped his arms around her back. “Thank you for being live until now.”
“I thank you too for growing up prettily even without me. Therefore, I can face our parents later with ease.”
Yuri immediately let go of Siwon. “Why did you say like that?!” Yuri scolded him while giving a glare. Siwon just smiled hearing how Yuri scolded him. “You… you won’t leave me again, right?” She asked worriedly.
“Of course not.” Siwon smiled widely to convince her that he’ll always be her side to protect as much as he could.
“This is the truth? Or, I’m dreaming right now?”
“Silly, of course it’s the truth!” Siwon knocked Yuri’s forehead. “Does it hurt?” He teased her. He had been waiting for long to play around with her like this.
“Ouch!” Yuri held her forehead. She gave a glare to Siwon and hit his arm. He just laughed. “But… how long have you known about our relationship?”
“Em… I think… around a month ago?”
“Then, why didn’t you tell me earlier?”
“I just don’t want you to be too shocked. When the time comes, I’ll tell you.” He smiled. “But, if you don’t believe me, we can do DNA test.”
“I… I don’t mean like that…”
“No, I think we should do that because I want to confirm everything. I want to acknowledge you as my sister and no one can deny it, ok?”
“Ok.” Yuri nodded while smiling.
“But, about Minho… are you close to him?”
“Well…” She really didn’t know how to answer. Before, she really hated and didn’t even talk a lot with him but right now… everything was changed. “No, I’m… I’m not close to him.”
“You… you don’t like him, right?”
“Huh?” Yuri seemed very shocked with Siwon’s question. “Y… yes… Of course not!” She looked like quite guilty since she herself wasn’t sure if that’s the truth.
“That’s good, then.” Siwon looked relieved. He held her shoulders and stared into her eyes, “Please remember, never ever like him, okay? You’ll just get hurt by liking him.”
“H… how did you know?”
“There is something that I still don’t tell you. This isn’t the right time to tell, oppa will tell later, okay?”
“Oppa?!” Yuri looked very excited and happy at the word, ‘oppa’.
“Yes, of course. From now on, you can call me oppa.”
“Oppa!” Yuri exclaimed and went to Siwon’s embrace to hug him tightly. Siwon smiled and hugged her back.
All of a sudden, their hug was interrupted by a sound of falling book which caused Yuri and Siwon to let go of each other and took a look who was it. Yuri’s eyes went bigger.
