After Kiaraa left, she approached Song Ji Hun, who was clearly in a bad mood.

"Oppa" She sweetly called him.

No matter how annoyed Song Ji Hun was with himself, he didn't believe in taking it out on other people, so he calmed himself and looked at the innocent girl.

"Juice" she handed him the glass.

Song Ji Hun recollected the discussion he had with Yang Nam-il and Song Ji Hwan about Aera's crush, he wished to reject her there itself but he promised Hwan he won't.

'At times it feels understanding Hwan is more difficult than understanding Kiaraa.' Song Ji Hun helplessly sighed but accepted the juice from Aera.

He does not have anything against this young girl, so he doesn't believe in being unnecessarily rude or cold towards her.

"Thank you" He slightly bowed his head.

"What were you and Kiaraa talking about?" For the first time Aera couldn't hide her curiosity and talked to Song Ji Hun.

Between Kiaraa and Song Ji Hun, Aera was less scared of Ji Hun.

"Just general stuff" Song Ji Hun gulped the whole glass of juice in one go and gave the empty glass back to her.

Aera took the glass and left from there still lost in some thoughts as she was not sure why but she didn't like Kiaraa talking to Song Ji Hun in private.

A bad feeling was creeping inside her and she didn't wish to think in that direction at all but her mind couldn't stop her from doing so.

Kiaraa went back to join the two guys not at all feeling remorse for making Song Ji Hun feel guilty for something he didn't do as she believed he deserved it for not kissing her.

Song Ji Hwan successfully kept Ian so busy that he didn't even realize Kiaraa's presence.

After Kiaraa joined them, Hwan went to check on his brother's state and when he reached there, he saw Song Ji Hun in some deep thoughts.

"Hyung, is everything alright?" Hwan worriedly approached him.

"I committed a huge mistake" Song Ji Hun lightly muttered.

"What happened Hyung?" Hwan never saw his brother like this.

Song Ji Hun suddenly stood up and grabbed his book, "Tell mom and dad I went to Nam-il's home" Ji Hun declared and left from there.

The Song family's driver was waiting outside, hanging out with his other driver friends when Song Ji Hun requested him to drop him at Yang Nam-il's house.

Hwan informed his parents about the same, who didn't bother much as Song Ji Hun is now growing up and they know he won't listen to them like he used to years ago.

The day went by just the way it used to and at night Kiaraa was heading to her room after having dinner and bidding adieu to their family friends.

When she reached her room, she was surprised to see Aera standing near her room door as if she was waiting for her.

"What are you doing here?" Kiaraa got a bit annoyed as Aera's presence alone was enough to irritate her.

"I wish to talk to you about something" Aera looked down at the floor, afraid of even looking Kiaraa in the eye.

"Can it wait?" Kiaraa yawned looking sleepy.

"Please" Aera requested her as she won't be able to fall asleep unless she talks to Kiaraa about what was going on in her head.

Kiaraa helplessly sighed and opened her room door, "Come in"

Aera followed her and sat on the couch.

Due to counselling, Kiaraa was not as worse towards Aera as she used to be.

"Hmm, tell me" Kiaraa looked disinterested hoping for Aera to get done quickly and leave her room.

"Do you like Song Ji Hun oppa?" Aera directly asked looking at Kiaraa's face, trying to gauge her reaction.

Kiaraa was startled as she didn't expect her sister to ask her something so absurd.

"What the hell Aera? What kind of an idiotic question is that?" Kiaraa freaked out a bit as she didn't wish for anyone to find out that even for a second, she felt attracted to that man.

"Can you please answer me?" Aera didn't back away, gathering all her courage, she questioned Kiaraa.

"No, I am not interested in him" Kiaraa truthfully answered as what she felt was a momentary thing, not something that is long lasting.

Aera sighed in relief after getting the confirmation.

"Why would you come up with something so outrageous?" Kiaraa wished to know what happened that Aera shocked her suddenly like this.

"Today for the first time I saw you talk to Song Ji Hun oppa. He used many words while talking to you, more than he ever used with me"

Kiaraa could sense the disappointment in Aera's tone.

If she was not wrong there was also a tinge of jealousy that she felt.

"Aera, are you jealous of me?" Kiaraa directly asked her sister, who nodded her head not denying the fact that she was indeed envious of her.

Kiaraa laughed after the confirmation, "Out of all my amazing characteristics that you can be jealous of, you chose this one?"

Kiaraa's voice sounded condescending but Aera didn't mind it, she was used to this tone.

"I really like oppa. I never saw him talk to any girl before. Today, I saw" Aera sounded very sad.

Kiaraa wondered what would happen to Aera if she ever found out that she and Song Ji Hun almost kissed each other just a few meters away from Aera, while she was happily sleeping in the park.

"Look, baby sis, I will never be interested in Song Ji Hun, I will never eye him. Okay?" Kiaraa wished for Aera to leave her room as soon as possible so she said what this young girl wanted to hear.

"Really? Promise?" Aera seriously looked at her sister, hope filled in her eyes.

Kiaraa wanted to smack her sister's head, who had such low priorities in life.

"Yes, I will never eye your man and in exchange for it you will never eye our Lee Conglomerate. Deal?" Kiaraa suddenly declared and forwarded her hand towards Aera.

Aera looked confused, "Why would I eye dad's companies?" she innocently asked.

"I don't know, since I am offering something to you, I wish for you to offer something to me in return. That's it. You like Song Ji Hun, I like business. Also, given the situation at our home, it won't be surprising to see you eyeing our conglomerate someday"

Aera shook hands with Kiaraa, "Deal. You won't eye Song Ji Hun; I won't eye the family business"

"Good girl, happy now?" Kiaraa sarcastically asked Aera.

"Yes, thank you Kiaraa" Aera was indeed very happy, not being able to sense the sarcasm in her sister's tone.

"Now, go to your room" Kiaraa showed her the door and not minding her rudeness, Aera left from there, happy about this 'silly' deal the two sisters made unknown of their future.
