you found yourself sitting next to gunwook, who was fast asleep on the living room couch. it seemed like he had caught a cold.

you absolutely hate him, yet, you couldn't help but still worry about his wellbeing. even if he was only your stepbrother, he was your sibling now after all.

you had always been against the idea of your mother getting remarried, because you loved your late father a lot. this led you to hating your stepfather and his son, gunwook.

as you were about to get up, he suddenly grabbed your wrist making you flinch.

"can't you stay...? just this once...?" he muttered faintly with his eyes half opened. shit, what should i do now?
