I pouted and immediately pinched both her cheeks, "What's that smile for? Are you finding joy in you eonnie's bad luck, huh?"

Yeseo laughed and grabbed both my hands. "I think the pretty unnie I met in the restroom and the beautiful eonnie you met are the same.~"

I froze at her words. After laughing for a few more seconds at my expense, she finally told me what happened when she was in the bathroom earlier. This was all a weird coincidence and I definitely got the short end of the stick for angering the beauty. I was mad, okay? Ugh, that doesn't justify me being an ass, too.

"So she can actually speak korean!? Then why was she speaking Chinese to me earlier!?" Yeseo shrugged in reply, not knowing the answer either.

I sighed. "I was only able to understand her because I can understand Chinese a little. You remember Elkie– my friend from college, right? Whenever I annoy her, she would switch to Chinese so I learned a few things." I laughed at the memory. "The times she repeatedly told me to 'shut up' was so deeply ingrained in my head that I was able to understand what the woman said earlier despite saying it in almost like a whisper. But the woman earlier was fluent and quick when speaking, so I had to take some time before understanding what she said."

"Did she say anything else? You looked like you wanted to slap some sense into someone earlier." Yeseo giggled.

"I'm not sure with the exact translation but I heard her saying that I had bad breath. And I was wearing my mask earlier! She was obviously just being mean."

She pondered for a moment before saying, "I really can't imagine that we're talking about the same woman. The eonnie earlier seemed distant but kind. She didn't really wanna take my jacket, too."

"Then why didn't you get out the restroom together?" I asked.

"'Cause I hid from her after getting out.~"

"Why would you? Wait– was she being mean—"

"No, no! I just didn't want to accept her thank you, I guess. I knew that she wouldn't accept no for an answer, that's why I just thought I'd hide from her."

I laughed at her reason. "Aigoo, my Yeseo grew up so well. But you really should have accepted her offer."

A teasing look fell on her face. "Omo, why? So that you could meet her again?"

I rolled my eyes, although a part of me did want to see the cold beauty again. "No. So that I could apologize properly."

"Okay~ Whatever makes you sleep at night, eonnie.~"

"Yah! If you still want me to buy you clothes, you better forget about what happened." I playfully threatened.

"Hm? What were we talking about again?"

I laughed.

"... After that, you'll have press conference for your comeback release in Mvsk Hotel. I already talked everything out with Bora eonnie so all we have to do left is get you there on time."

"Yes~" I acknowledged.

I was already back at home with Yeseo. Whenever I'm in Seoul, I would always make sure to stay home even if I have to travel hours on end to my schedules. This was the first house I bought out of many for my sisters and I. It was located in Cheongdam-dong. We were located in a relatively quiet place and I didn't have to constantly worry about our safety and privacy.

I was an idol so I knew that my safety and privacy would always be at risk, but I wanted to protect my sisters from the media as much as possible. Although I can't really do much with what they do in their social media accounts. Although my uttokis know I have two sisters, I never really publicly showed their face or gave out their name. Not because I was embarrassed of them, but they wanted to keep it that way and I respect their decision.

I finally hung up the call when my manager was done briefing me with my schedule for next week.

"Eonnie~."

"Oh?~ What is it, Karu-chan?~" I asked my other sister and patted the sit next to me.

Ezaki Hikaru is actually a native Japanese who was adopted by our adoptive parents when she was around six years old. Back then, she was really quiet. It was at a point where we thought that she was deaf. The adoption center told us that she might have been traumatized because she was sent there by the police after an incident. It was presumed that she was illegally brought here because she couldn't speak Korean but was fluent in Japanese. Our adoptive parents took pity on her, and seeing that she could become playmates with Yeseo, they agreed to formally adopting her.

"Yeseo told me you bought her clothes," I rolled my eyes as I immediately knew where this was going. "And it just so happens that I've been eyeing a headset I need for streaming.~"

I playfully grabbed both her cheeks and pinched. "Fine~ Go buy it and I'll pay for it." She squealed and hugged me tight while bouncing up and down on her sight.

"You're the best, eonnie.~"

"I know." I smiled and softly pat her bum. She bid me goodnight before running back to her room.

"Don't run up the stairs!" I yelled back and heard her quick steps slowing down.

I shook my head and closed my eyes to rest my head on the back of the couch.

I've been hiding those two from the media but ironically enough, both of them are some sort of public figures. Hikaru is a streamer and as far as I know about that industry, she's doing a great job at it for the large amount of viewers and donations she receives. On the other hand, Yeseo is a scholar in Miracle Arts Academy. She's been acting supporting roles in a few television dramas and cameos in music videos.

I guess it's probably a family thing to demand attention.~
