I smell jealousy

Until going home, Yumi's mind is full of thoughts about her conversation with Mica in the school's rooftop.

Her words echoed in her mind, 'Sometimes, the only thing that can heal the pain is forgiveness,'

'Forgiveness?' Yumi repeated inside.

'She doesn't even know how to do it!

'Does forgivings means forgetting the wrong thing that they have done and just live and go on with your life as if nothing's happened?'

Yumi closed her eyes tightly as she leans her head on the seat.

She only opens her eyes when the car stopped in the mansion's garage.

Yumi got off the car but then, she froze when she saw Jin in the garden, watering the plants.

Then Alodia's word flash into her mind,

'You shouldn't give up so easily!'

"Sister Yumi!"

Yumi snapped back to her senses when she heard Yuhan's little voice.

She turned her head to the front door and she saw Yuhan running towards her with his nanny following him!

Yumi couldn't help but smile!

The panting Yuhan stopped in front of his sister, "Are you still sick?" He asked while panting.

"Hey, did you run all the way here just to ask me that?" Yumi asked back.

Yuhan blinks his eyes as he nodded his head.

Yumi smile again and then she messes Yuhan's hair, "Sister Yumi is fine now," She said.

"Really?!" Yuhan blurted out in excitement,

"Ennn..." Yumi nodded her head.

"So... Sister Yumi can bake now?" Yuhan ask again which made Yumi almost speechless!

"Little rat wants to bake with sister Yumi," He added.

"Wait, wait, wait,"

"What is this now?"

"So, you didn't want me to get sick because you want me to bake?!" Yumi asked with her unbelievable expression!

"Yes,!" Yuhan replied while nodding his head.

"Oh! I can't believe this!"

"I thought you are worried about me that's why you give me medicine this morning!" Yumi complained!

"Hmmm..." Yuhan gave Yumi a side glance.

"Yuhan was worried," He said.

"Tsk!" Yumi chuckled.

"Alright, what do you want to bake now?"

"Mona likes cupcakes, I like cupcakes!" Yuhan replied.

Yumi knitted her brows as she looked at Yuhan, " Who's Mona?" she asked.

Yuhan smiled sweetly, " She's my pretty friend!" He replied.

"Pretty friend?" Yumi repeated meaningfully.

"Ennn..."

"Ah, so, you wanted to bake a cupcake for your "Pretty friend"," Yumi said meaningfully.

"Ennn!"

" She cried in the class today because our classmate did not give her a cupcake, and I promised to bring her cupcake tomorrow!"

"Ha!" Yumi let out a faint laugh, " How generous of you," She mumbled.

Their conversation ended there.

And as they talked earlier, the two of them prepared and bake the cupcakes together.

Yumi helped Yuhan to climb up the chair so that he can reach the table.

Because Yuhan helped Yumi during the preparation and mixing of the ingredients, the kitchen has become a mess. There's such a moment that Yuhan dropped some egg on the floor, and then he accidentally spilled the flour on his face which covered his face, and Yumi couldn't stop but to laugh!

The sound of their laughter resounded the kitchen and the servants who are watching couldn't contain their smiles too.

----------

"Woow!" Yuhan exclaimed with his twinling eyes when Yumi bring out the newly baked cupcake from the oven.

Yumi smiled when she saw Yuhan's proud expression!

"Can I try it?" Yuhan asked Yumi excitedly.

"Maybe later because it's still hot," She said.

"Alright!" Yuhan replied.

"We still have to put an icing on top of it," Yumi said.

"Alright! Little rat will still help!" Yuhan said.

"Sure!" Yumi replied.

--------

It was already night when Yuhan and Yumi finished everything.

"Wow, you're already good at it, huh?" Yumi complemented Yuhan after he finished putting the icing on his cupcake. Although it was a bit messy it is still considered good for a five-year-old.

"I'm sure, Mona will like it," Yumi added.

Yuhan smiled and then he looked at Yumi's cupcake, " Are you going giving those to brother Jin?" He asked innocently.

"Huh?!"

Yumi froze as she looked at the cupcakes.

--------

Jin is sitting on the garden bench while looking up the sky.

The sky is dark but the stars are twinkling so bright.

'What a beautiful scenery,' Jin said inside.

'I can see you from afar but I can't reach you, just like her.' He said inside.

"Hey!"

Jin snapped back to his senses when someone suddenly spoke behind him!

Jin turned his head behind him and he was surprised and his heart beats faster when he saw Yumi!

"H-Hey..." He replied in a faint voice.

Jin saw Yumi smile at him with the help of the light in the garden.

She is holding a saucer with a cupcake on top of it.

"I just thought, if..." Yumi seems to have second thoughts.

"If you like to eat a cupcake?"

"Ah,..." Jin blinks his eyes, "O-Of course!"

"I'd like to try it," He said.

Yumi walks closer to the bench, she gave the cupcake to Jin before she sat on the other side of the bench.

"T-Thanks," Jin said.

There is a silence between them for a moment.

"Jin..." Yumi was the one to break the silence.

"I... I just want to tell you that..." Yumi turned her head to Jin.

"That I am not going to give up that easily," She said which stunned Jin!

"Y-Yumi..." Jin blurted out.

"What if we are in the same life status?" Yumi asked.

"Is there a possibility that you will change your mind?"

"Will you like me then?"

Jin pulled back his gaze from Yumi, but he did not spoke.

"Your silence is like a yes to me," Yumi said when she got no response from Jin.

Jin stayed silent.

"So I was right," Yumi said.

"Then... You have to work hard and become rich someday."

"W-What?!" Jin turned back his head to Yumi.

"Be a successful man someday so that you can like me without the fear of complicating my life," Yumi said.

"And as for me, my feelings for you are consistent, I will keep reminding you every day that I like you until you decide to follow your heart."

Yumi got up from her seat.

"But I hope when the day you decide to follow your

heart, it won't be too late for us,"
