I get out of the room. I sigh in relief. Now it's clear. We are NOT siblings!
I read the result of the DNA test & it's true. I'm not related to Mrs Jung!
But this also prove that my family is still unknown. I suddenly remember the message from the Private Number. This is another mystery that don't solve yet. I should reply to the text.

Miyeon's POV
What? Who is Han Ye Jin??
Before I could ask the private number, another message comes in.
From : Private Number
I know u are curious so let's meet on Friday, 4 pm. At the cafe near Seoul High School.
I stare at the message for about 10 minutes.
Should I meet this person? Or is it a trap cuz it's too easy like this?
I decide to just meet the person. So I replied 'Alright.'

"I like u from a long time, Na Na. Please accept me as ur boyfriend!" Namjoon exclaims.
Na Na who is standing in front of the kneeling boy, can only blinks. One time, they were eating & talking comfortably in the restaurant & then the boy kneels in front of her while holding a rose.
Na Na can't help but laugh when she sees Rapmon's surprising confession. Of course, she likes him too. They really hit it off the first time they met each other.
"Please answer me, Na Na!" Namjoon said with his eyes closed.
Na Na smiles at the boy in front of him. He is such a dork... Cute!
"Of course, I accept u as my boyfriend, u idiot." She said softly.
"R-really?!" Rapmon asks in disbelief.
"Yep. Now stand up. We are already making a scene in the restaurant." She said.
"Oh... oops?" He said sheepishly.
"That's okay, my dorky boyfriend." She gives a peck on Rapmon's left cheek before runs out of the restaurant.

Miyeon's POV
The next day, after school, I walk into Hoseok's ward when the doctor is examining him. His mother & Jiyeon are standing opposite the doctor, near Hoseok's bed.
"The patient is fine now. He can go home today." The doctor said, then excuses himself out of the room.
"Yay! At last u can get out of the hospital!" Jiyeon said.
"Yeah... I start to get sick of the food here." Jhope said with a relieve smile on his face.
"Good job for healing fast, Hoseok!" His mom said.
I smile at the scene. It is so touching & family-like.
"Oh, Miyeon unnie! Come in! Why are u standing at the door?" Jiyeon said, seeing me at the door.
I startle a bit but then walk towards them. Hoseok smiles at me. I look down.
"Oh, I will go out to pay the hospital bills! Hoseok, get ready. Change ur clothes!" His mom said.
Jiyeon, noticing the tense atmosphere, follows her mother, "I-I'll go with mom!"
The door closes, leaving Jhope & I in silence. He looks at me but I just look down.
"Miyeon... Come closer."
I continue to look down.
"Please." I can sense the desperation in his voice.
I walk slowly to his bed. He sits up.
"Look at me, Miyeon." I look at him.
He caresses my left cheek with his right hand. I close my eyes, feeling comfort with his touch.
"What's the matter, Miyeon?" He asks with a soft voice.
I open my eyes & look into his. We are so close to each other. His dark orbs are looking at me, softly. I can clearly see his love from his eyes. Both of us lean in...
The kiss is magical. His lips is so soft, warm. Our lips are like puzzle cuz we complete each other. He let his hand to move to my waist, deepening the kiss. We don't know for how long we are kissing cuz I starting to lost my breath.
He then broke the kiss & lean his forehead towards mine. He is also catching his breath. He then smiles at me. I smile back at him.
The door then opens, catches us off guard.
"OPPA, ARE U READY TO GO HOM- OH MY GOSH! I DON'T SEE ANYTHING!!" Jiyeon then shuts the door as fast as she opens it.
Jhope & I look at each other, confused but then we laugh cuz the situation is so funny. I then realised I am sitting on his lap so I get up immediately, embarrass. He just smirk at me.
"I don't know u can be a tomato." He teases me.
"S-shut up!" I hide my red face with my hands, embarrass.
"So... help me change my clothes?"
"Change it urself, u byuntae!"

No One's POV
"What?? An arranged marriage??" A shout can be heard outside of the Kim's household.
"Yes, Namjoon. An arranged marriage. U will marry the heiress of Seo Corp." Mr Kim strictly said.
"And there will be no objection because u don't have any love life, & it also benefits our company." Mrs Kim said.
"But abeoji, omma!-" Namjoon starts to protest.
"We said no objection, Kim Namjoon." Mr Kim said.
Namjoon sighs, "Fine..."
His parents then ask him to go to this bedroom. Nam Hee, his sister, 2 years younger than him, just laughs at his misery. He just glare at his childish sister.
He lays on his bed as soon as he goes inside his room. He burries his face on the pillow & groans.
'Man! What a bad luck! The day I finally have a girlfriend, I also have to get married to another woman!'
'What to do? What to do? My angel will be mad at me for this! Gah, Kim Namjoon, think! Think with ur sexy brain!'
'Aha! I will make the heiress hates me so she will cancel this marriage! Brilliant, Namjoon!' He thinks while smiling widely.

"An arranged marriage?" Na Na asks.
"Yes, sweetie. I know u are still young, but this will benefits our company. Please." Mr Seo said, more like begging.
Na Na sighs, "Alright, but I did this to save the company." 'And for u, appa...' she thinks sadly.
"Thank u, Na Na! U are such a reliable daughter!" Mr Seo said.
"Yeah.... I'll go to my room now."
"Go on." Mr Seo said, before contacting his 'in-laws' to confirm the marriage.
Na Na walks away with a blank face, 'Well... Appa didn't said the boy can't cancel the wedding, right?' She thinks while smile evilly.

Miyeon's POV
Then, we arrive at Hoseok's house. His mom & Jiyeon just can't stop teasing us along the way! Both Hoseok & I are embarrassed. The three of us tuck Hoseok to his bed. His mom & sister are already out after they see him sleeping. So I start to walk out of the room but a hand stops me.
"Don't leave yet." He said in a hoarse voice.
"I thought u are already sleeping."
"I did. But I wake up when I heard u walk out."
I bit my lips. Maybe I walk noisily earlier. Or Hoseok is just a light sleeper! Yes, that's the reason!
"Sleep, Hoseok."
He smiles, "It's been a long time that u say my real name."
"Sleep. U need it."
"I can't sleep."
"What do u want me to do to make u sleep?"
He then pulls me into his embrace, "Sleep with me."
"No, Hoseok. Ur mom & Jiyeon can see us!"
"U are so warm & comfy!~" He snuggles in.
"Hoseok."
"Just stay until I asleep."
I sigh, "Okay."

After I make sure Jhope is sleeping soundly, I detach myself carefully from him & walk out of his room slowly.
I then walk to the living room to see Jiyeon & her mom there.
"Oh, u are here~ Have fun snuggling with oppa?" Jiyeon said.
I just blushed at her statement. Her mom laughs.
I suddenly remember I should talk to Mrs Jung about my family.
"Mrs Jung we need to talk privately."
"Alright, my future daughter-in-law." Mrs Jung winks playfully, making me blush for the nth times today.
I follow her to her room.
"What is it that u want to talk about, Miyeon?" She asks me.
"I want to know about my parents." I said with a serious face.
Mrs Jung seems surprise & open her mouth to say something but I beat her to it.
"And please don't deny it. I know u recognize me the first time I came to ur house. That's why u are so shock to see me that time, right?"
She sighs, "Alright, u got me. Yes, I know u. Even Hoseok & Jiyeon did."
"What? They know me?"
"Yes, but now they didn't remember u cuz Jiyeon had an amnesia that make her forget everything before she is 5 years old. While Hoseok.... he was traumatized when the fire incident happen. So he also didn't remember properly."
"What fire incident?"
Mrs Jung sighs, "Let me tell u from the beginning. 16 years ago, ur family lived beside us. U were just one year old that time, the same as Hoseok. Ur family just moved from USA. Ur father, Alden, is a pilot. Ur mother, Rose, is a business woman. U guys are all Koreans but had been living in USA all ur life so ur names are in English."
"What is my name?"
"Ur name is... Ruby. Ur parents always busy with their job that they asked me to babysit u. This going on for 4 years. For those 4 years, u are getting along with my children, especially Miyeon." She said sadly.
She continues, "Miyeon is my eldest daughter. She was 7 years old when she died during the fire incident."
Okay, what is this fire incident? From what I heard, it is tragic. I'm curious....
"On 29th October, Halloween day, Miyeon, Jiyeon & u are going out at night for 'trick or treat'. After that u children went back to ur house cuz there was a Halloween party there. That's when the fire incident happened. The fire are the reason of ur parent's death. The survivors are Hoseok, Jiyeon, Mr Jung, me & u."
"We really thought u did not survive but Mr Jung found u at a dark alley near the neighbourhood. Ur head was bleeding badly so I think u also lost ur memories. Mr Jung brought u to the orphanage. He also put a piece of paper that has 'Miyeon' in ur pocket."
"So all this time, I'm being living as ur daughter?"
"Yes, I'm sorry Ruby. But I do that for ur own safety."
For my own safety?
"It's okay. Thank u for telling me this. It's really helpful for me."
"U are welcome." She smiles warmly at me.
I nod before gets out of the room.

'She will know when the time comes. So don't tell her urself.' Rose's words are lingering in Mrs Jung's head.
"I'm sorry, Ruby." Mrs Jung said to herself.

The next evening, Namjoon will meet his 'fiancé' at a 5-star restaurant. He dresses badly; wrinkled suit, unstraighten tie, etc. He also wears a curly wig & a big spectacle.
He mentally thank the parents for not coming with them. This is supposed to be their first date. He walks inside the restaurant to see everyone looking, more like judging him. He ignores them & continue walk to his reserve table.
He looks around but see no rich teenage girl inside the restaurant so his 'fiancé' is not here yet. He closes his eyes to take deep breaths cuz he is suddenly nervous. When he opens his eyes again, he is surprise to see the girl in front of him.
He shrieks at the emo looking ghost. The girl looks at him back with a blank look. She wears a white loose dress, her make up is a bit black & her skin is so white.
"A-are u a ghost???" Namjoon asks nervously.
"I'm ur fiancé." The pale ghost girl said in a monotone.
'The heck?! This girl is scary!' Namjoon thinks.
'Ew! He's ugly! Namjoon is more handsome!' Na Na thinks.
"Ok, listen. I know u are not interest in this arranged marriage. So am I. Therefore, u need to tell ur parents to call it off." Namjoon said.
"Why me & not u?" She asks.
"Because my parents are strict & stubborn!"
"Me too."
"Ugh! Why is this so complicated??"
The girl shrugs then drink her water.
"Yah, why are u so calm?? This is a big problem!"
She shrugs, "Not for me."
Namjoon glares at the ghost but looks away in fear when she gives a serious face.
"Listen. Just ask YOUR parents to cancel this wedding & the problem is gone. I'll see u never." She said before walks out of the restaurant with a cold look.
Namjoon shivers a bit when the girl walks past him.
"She sure is scary..."
