Areum's Unnie be my Noona too

Iseul was brought back to reality when Areum and Ji his younger cousins came in bickering over something so silly and childish which is 'Chocolate and peanuts taste better than vanilla and peanuts' like always.

" Oh.. Iseul oppa you came home, are you staying for dinner? " Areum asked excited to see Iseul after a whole month.

" Hyung" Ji acknowledged him as well

"Mm " Iseul replied shortly and before he could sneak away in his room their grandma caught the sight of them and called them over to introduce Heilin to them while having some snacks.

And the moment Areum saw Heilin sitting in the couch as cool as cucumber, she right away melted and gushed at her sight. It was the same feeling when a fan meets her favourite idol. She flopped near Heilin immediately and began her non stop blabbering and questions with a complete flushed face. For strangers it would've seem like Areum had a total crush on her elder cousin.

What was unexpected was that the two guy cousins sitting opposite to the girls in the sitting room were strangely jealous of Areum.

They were envious on hearing Areum calling Heilin " Unnie Unnie" all the time snuggling upto her space as if they were so familiar.

Their grandparents were casually asking them about their day and how they have been doing, and they gave them a respective reply saying it was fine and smooth. The two guys to seem to look all normal yet they failed miserably. Iseul couldn't yet compromise to the fact that, his first ever crush, his savior and the only girl he had his eyes on was his cousin whom he hardly knew. If possible he would choose to not be related at all, and in just a few seconds their whole relationship had just turned so complicated. He couldn't just stop his ever growing attraction for her for the past months, and he really don't think he could even stop it.

Seeing her so close after their first encounter and her being in arms length yet he was forbidden to make a move was making him feel estranged and churn with emotions within.

On the other hand, Ji as a twin and brother sibling he was overly jealous to see his twin sister being able to snuggle up closely to such an immortal beauty, while all he could do was have a secret and nervous glances at Heilin.

It was when Heilin ruffled Areum's hair slightly messing it up while giving her a slight smile, that all hell seem to break lose.

First Ji dropped the cut fruit from his fork which was halfway in the air aiming for his mouth. The fruit specifically, the sliced apple fell into his teacup spilling the tea all over the table.

Then Iseul's nose bled suddenly without any warnings, he only came to know it when his blood dropped on his pants.

And the moment Ji saw blood he fainted right infront of them.

The sitting room turned all chaotic in a sudden with worried yells and apologies.

" Oppa your nose is bleeding!! " Areum exclaimed yelling her lungs out of worry.

"Ji!!" their grandpa called out as well

" What happened to the both of you, are you ok. Someone come clean the mess, Iseul go to the washroom right away. Lin could you please go with him and help " their grandma instructed .

They followed each other heading towards the washroom right away.

" Iseul don't think of going back right away. Stay for sometime and after you are fine you will go back" she yelled behind them.

And while they were gone they immediately tended Ji who doesn't seem to wake up for a while. And the maids were busy cleaning up their mess, fetching the materials needed at hand.

Iseul was still a bleeding mess even when they have reached Iseul's washroom at his room. Heilin was a bit hesitant to follow him in and just realised it was Iseul who was next door to her room.

She stood on the washroom door as he watch him clean himself. She put the tissues she found on his table near the sink without a word . Iseul said a thanks avoiding her eyes since he was quite embarrassed to bled infront of her in their first meet. He was thinking of how that wasn't so not cool while still cleaning up,and the fact that she was staring right at him making him feel more nervous than usual.

" I can handle it from here, really; big thanks again " he said although he want her close and wanted to talk to her more he wasn't ready and all the informations made him muddled up.

" Ok.. I should go. And if it continues to bleed you should look down not up. And... good to know your the guy next door" she left with that.

Iseul was again surprised and somewhat happy to know their room were next to each other.

Which get him to make a huge decision on moving in from his dorm room and attending college from home.

He wanted to be 'The guy next door'
