"Never mind Hwan, I'll ask someone to look for it later," Somi quickly said before getting up.
"What happened?" Jungkook inquired.
Tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, Somi explained, "I dropped my ring under the couch so Hwan was helping me look for it."
"Let it be for now honey, I'll ask someone to look for it later." Pausing for a while, Singatn added, "Your mom has approved the whole plan so you can go with Hwan but make sure that you don't give him a very hard time."
Somi grinned and vigorously nodded her head, 'Don't worry dad, I will not trouble Hwan at all."
Turning towards him, Jungkook sighed, "Hwan, if it's too troublesome for you then—"
Cutting him off, Hwan smiled, "It's okay uncle Jungkook, Somi always behaves when we travel together so I am sure it won't be a problem."
"You see that dad, Hwan likes to travel with me too." Without waiting for anyone's reply, she rushed towards her room yelling, "I will go and quickly change, give me ten minutes."
"Don't run on the stairs Somi," Hwan sighed and helplessly shook his head. "She never listens."
"You seem to care about Somi a lot." Walking towards him, Jungkook added, "This is why I can blindly trust you with my daughter Hwan."
Hwan smiled and said, "Don't worry about her uncle Jungkook, I'll take care of her properly."
"Of course you will take care of her," Haruto remarked before walking towards them.
Yunho, who was standing right behind Haruto, gestured Hwan a time out sign before sticking his tongue out.
Glaring at him, Hwan pursed his lips. He had already guessed that Yunho told Haruto everything. Resisting his urge to punch Yunho's fce for breaking the bro code and promise, he chose not to react at all because Jungkook was still standing right beside him.
"I mean, Hwan treats Somi just like his sister so it's only right for him to take care of his sister." Wrapping his arms around Hwan's shoulder, Haruto gave him a fake creepy smile. "Right Hwan."
Awkwardly clearing his throat, Hwan gave him a weak smile and nodded his head.
"You both don't have anything to do right?" When Yunho and Haruto shook their heads, Jungkook continued, "Go get some dessert for everyone and don't irritate Hwan aymore, he is going for a drive with Somi after sometime."
After Jungkook was out of sight, Haruto gritted his teeth and smacked Hwan's head, "You—how can you date my sister?"
Glaring at Yunho, Hwan fumed, "I'll deal with you later Lee Yunho." Turning towards Haruto, he added, "And can you please keep your voice low? We are still in the mansion and anyone can hear you."
"Ahh so you are scared now? Where was this fear when you were doing my sister?" Haruto snapped.
"Alright guys, let's act a bit civil and discuss this outside like proper mannered people, okay?" Yunho suggested before guiding them outside.
....
Outside
Placing his hand on his waist, Haruto scrunched his brows. "I'll ask you one simple question—" pausing for a while, he added, "That lipstick mark on your neck, was that—"
When Hwan scratched his forehead and started looking around, Haruto groaned in frustration. "I thought you treated her like your sister Hwan but here you are taking neck kisses from my little sister."
"Hey, I never said that Somi is my sister okay? It was you people who assumed it and I am not just doing her, I genuinely love her and I care about her. Somi is very special and important to me and I'll never do anything to hurt her," Hwan explained.
Keeping quiet for quite some time, Haruto inquired, "Really? So you are very serious with her?"
"Trust me man, I was never so serious about anything in my entire life." Placing his hand on Haruto's shoulder, he continued, "Listen, even I never realized that Somi meant so much to me until recently. Her presence in my life has changed everything and now I cannot imagine my life without her."
Yunho chuckled and helplessly shook his head, "Dude, you are so in love."
"Ahh great, you had to interrupt him," Somi fumed before walking towards them.
"Geez, were you eavesdropping on your lover's kind words?" Yunho grinned.
"I was enjoying his lovely speech but you spoiled everything," Somi snapped before pinching his waist. She then turned towards Hwan and ponce into his embrace.
"I love you too honey."
Wrapping his arms around her, Hwan took a deep breath and sighed. "I know."
"Well hello, there is a brother standing right in front of you," Haruto exclaimed.
Pulling away, Somi rolled her eyes, Did I say anything when you and Becca started dating? No right? Then keep shut and support us like I support you and Bec." Pausing for a while, she added, "And stop bullying my boyfriend, just because he never says anything that doesn't mean he cannot do anything. Hwan can break your nose if he wants to but he is holding back because you are my brother."
"Honey, I think that is enough and Haruto wasn't bullying me or anything, he was just checking if I am the right guy for you or not," Hwan explained.
Cupping his cheeks, she smiled, "There is no doubt that you are the best for me."
Rolling his eyes, Haruto sighed, "Alright stop being so touchy in front of me, I am your brother so at least show some respect."
"Support us like a good big brother first," Somi retorted.
Haruto helplessly shook his head and said, "Yes I will, I mean, it's Hwan and not Yun so I know I can trust him with my sister."
Placing his hand on his waist, Yunho snarled, "Hey, what do you mean?"
