Ch 76 - I- Its Not Like I Like You or Anything! Baka!

"Oh! You're the new neighbor the maids talk about! Its nice to meet you!" said by Yongsun with a smile as he reach out for a handshake.

"I- its nice to meet you too" said by Dahsoo with a blushing face as he shook hands with Yongsun.

"So when did you become our neighbor?" ask by Mirae with a raise eyebrow.

"A- a month ago" said by Dahsoo.

"Oh, we were gone for more than a month already. But its also nice to meet you!" said by Mirae as she shook hands with Dahsoo while she looks at Haerin indicating for her to talk with their new neighbor.

"Its nice to meet you too" said by Haerin.

"Its also nice to meet you too Haerin. Long time no see" said by Dahsoo with a smile as the trio became confuse.

"You know her?" ask by Jongin and Sohee.

"You know me?" ask by Haerin.

"Oh... You already don't even remember me" said by Dahsoo with a gloomy face.

"Huh?" ask by the trio.

"Its me, Kang Dahsoo from middle school!" said by Dahsoo with a cute smile while tilting his head to the left.

"D- Dahsoo!?" said by Haerin in shock.

"You were classmates? But I don't remember anyone looking like you in her graduation photo with the whole class?" ask by Mirae while she opened her phone and showed him a picture of his class back in middle school.

"You really don't remember me? Dahsoo? Look, that's me over there" said by Dahsoo as he pointed at the far left side at the picture while Haerin looks at the picture with wide eyes.

"Huh? But that's a boy, and you're a girl? Are you trans?" ask by Yongsun.

"Huh? A girl? Me?" ask by Dahsoo.

"Yes, you" said by Yongsun while pointing at him.

"Huh? But I'm a boy?" said by Dahsoo as Yongsun almost choke in shock along with the other two.

"You're this guy over here!? But! But! That's definitely not you! Right Haerin!" said by Mirae.

"Y- yeah" said by Haerin as she blushes.

"Well it was nice meeting you guys! And uh... do you still remember what I sent you last month Haerin?" ask by Dahsoo with a force smile.

"..." said by Haerin as her face became redder while she averted her gaze from him.

"Sigh, you will probably gonna deny it anyway" muttered by Dahsoo as his smile faltered for a split second.

"Well, It was nice meeting you guys!" said by Dahsoo as he started to walk away back to his house while the duo was left confuse at Haerin's apparent embarrassment.

"What were you guys talking about?" ask by Mirae in confusion.

"I- its nothing! Lets just go inside already" said by Haerin as she flew inside the house leaving the both of them alone, confuse at what has just transpired.

"Do... you think she has a crush on him?" ask by Yongsun while looking at the class graduation picture.

"Probably no, maybe now, but just look at him from before! He looks like you when you were a full on loser weeb otaku!" said by Mirae while pointing at the old Dahsoo.

"Hey! It wasn't that bad okay" said by Yongsun as he wasn't able to retort what his sister said.

"Enough about that, she was just probably shock to see her classmate suddenly look so different in the span of a... month? What the fuck? This picture is only a month old!? Did he gain estrogen instead of testosterone from puberty!?" said by Mirae in shock.

"Yeah, what the fuck? Yawn, oh, its really late right now, would you mind driving the car inside?" ask by Yongsun.

"Fine, go to sleep already" said by Mirae as she entered the car while they saw a butler opening the gates.

"Goodnight then" said by Yongsun as he flew inside the mansion while Mirae went to park the car inside as they went to sleep.

(The Next Day)

"Oi Haerin" said by Yongsun as they were currently eating in the dining room with some fancy looking food.

"Hmm?" ask by Haerin.

"What were you guys talking about last night?" ask by Yongsun as Mirae also became intrigue.

"I- its... nothing" said by Haerin as her face became red while she averted her gaze from them and look down to her food.

"Hmm, well another question then. Do you like him? The him from before, or the him from the now?" ask by Yongsun as he saw Mirae's ear perk up in curiosity.

"Sigh, fine. Last month, when we were on vacation, he... sent me a message" said by Haerin.

"Go on" said by Mirae.

"And what he sent was, a confession" said by Haerin as her face became redder than a tomato.

"*Spurts water from mouth* He what!?" said by Mirae in shock.

"What did you do!?" ask by Yongsun with his interest now caught.

"I just respond back by sending 3 dots! I didn't know what to do back then!" said by Haerin as she remembered how stressful it was when she receive Dahsoo's confession.

"And????" ask by Mirae.

"That's it, our convo ended" said by Haerin.

"Uwah, you should have ask me for some help" said by Mirae.

"Or me" said by Yongsun as Mirae snorted from the side.

"But do you like him though?" suddenly ask by Mirae as Haerin suddenly blush.

"I... don't know. Before I never really talk to him nor even notice him, but when we talk yesterday, I just felt my heart... beating and pounding all of a sudden, its like it was about to burst out of my chest" said by Haerin.

"Holy fuck!" shouted by Yongsun.

"My dear sister is falling in love! Kyaah!" squealed by Mirae in joy.

"W- what do you mean falling in love!" said by Haerin with an embarrass face.

"Wait, what if he doesn't like you anymore!?" ask by Mirae as her face became deep in thought.

"Hey Chunghee, you know about our new neighbor right?" ask by Mirae as she called someone from her phone.

"Yes miss Mirae" said by Chunghee.

"Have you seen him talking to anyone else? Like a girl?" ask by Mirae.

"Hmm, yes indeed. Just yesterday, he invited a girl to his house and they seem to be very close to each other, like they seem to be more than friends" said by Chunghee in a "you know" tone that indicated Mirae's near worst possible outcome.

"Thanks for the info Chunghee" said by Mirae as she hanged up the call.

"Uh oh, Haerin, it seems like your new crush probably likes someone else already" said by Mirae as she saw Haerin's face becoming sonewhat weirded out as she saw her putting her hand on her chest.

Haerin then felt her chest somehow becoming heavy, like she just lost something important to her and felt like the world becoming gloomy.

"Sigh, enough about that. Maybe he doesn't like anyone right now, who knows, you might get a chance at him, didn't he like you previously? Maybe you can make him like you again" said by Mirae with a smile.

"W- who said I like him!" said by Haerin as her previous gloomy temperament became an invigorated youth who found hope.

"Yes yes, you don't like him" said by Mirae as she sighed while Yongsun laugh by the side.

"Lets eat already!" said by Yongsun as he went to continue eating his food.

"Oh yeah, I forgot we still have work today" said by Mirae as she hurriedly went to eat her food along with Haerin as the atmosphere reverted back into a happy family as their bonds became stronger.

AN: Nani!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?¿?!?!??!?

And don't worry, she will be an actual important character to further Dahsoo's plans at a faster pace, and uh... isn't' her love kinda force!? I wonder why, like... there's no way someone will instantly fall in love with just looks, that should be infatuation, but then... you shouldn't be that emotionally affected by them, so maybe... Dahsoo is just too big brain.

Writing is hard, so send me some of that sweet juicy power stones to not let the Sword of Damocles to drop and incur one of the greatest tragedies in your life.
