➯ mini chapter ― four

◀️ PREVIOUSLY... ▶️

The mystery girl stepped forwards and bowed, a kind smile upon her face, "안녕하세요, everyone.  My name is Xu Maana, and I am Mushen's older sister.  I hope that we can get to know each other better."

──────────

◀️ NOW... ▶️

Jian just stood there, unsure of what to even say, "Uh..."

"안녕하세요!" Chaeha chirped; always one to be friendly and bubbly.

"I thought Mushu hyung was an only child..." Mitsuo trailed off.

Heidi raised her hand uncertainly and waved half heartedly, "Hi...?"

"Who again?" Yihwa furrowed her brows, forgetting proper social etiquette for a moment there.

"I have so many mixed emotions right now-" Daehyeon put two fingers to his temples and began massaging the sides of his head like he had a major migraine.

"Sehunnie - why didn't you ever tell us about her?  You knew, so...what's up with that?" Miyeon turned to the younger boy who's expression seemed to darken, and she somehow got the subliminal message that he was trying to relay through his facial features: "We'll talk about it later."

Noah and Espen both crossed their arms, frowning skeptically over the situation, "Well then..."

"Oh, we'll get along for sure." Hyunki blathered, although no one could tell if he was joking or not.

Inori scrunched up her nose, thinking hard, "I don't know..."

"Hello!" Soonyeon smiled at the older girl, prettily.

Hyunki grinned, "It's nice to meet you, and I would say: Mushu hyung has told us all about you!  Except he hasn't."

"Uhm, I t-think I've heard CEO-nim t-t-talking about three n-new soloists before." Jaemin stammered, in that quiet and unsure voice of his, "Lee K-Kei Ha...T-T-Tao Dak Ho...and there was one m-more that I could never remember...until n-now at l-l-least.  I guess the third one w-w-w-was you then."

Hana took Jaemin's hand in her own, squeezing it reassuringly like a mother to her nervous child, "I'm pretty sure I remember that too.  It just never occurred to me that your surnames were of the same family tree or in any way related...I guess I wasn't really paying attention."

"I don't know how to feel right now..." Xavier eyed Maana uneasily.

Yewon shook her head at Mushu, clicking her tongue, "Xu Mu Shen, you little bum."

"You never told us you had a sister, hyung!" Jian finished his blonde counterpart's sentence for her, indignantly.

"I never told you because I didn't want to. There was a reason for my secrecy." The raven haired boy replied without a hint of shame in his tone.

His face was cold and closed off, unlike his usual attitude and personality which was outgoing and fun. There was definitely something going on between these two siblings.
