Chapter 12: Chapter 12

Jake's POV

"Yesssss!!!" I exclaimed after I did a fist bump in the air.

Jason hyung and I are currently playing an online game in the living room, sharing comfortably a huge bean bag. Vash hyung was out shooting for his drama while Josh hyung is in charge for today's breakfast. Yohan and Rome hyung are probably still sleeping as they slept late last night watching something X-rated.

Yeah, we are not excuse from that.

"Ahh. Yahh, Jake." I chuckled as Jason hyung pushed me off the bean bag. We already finished three rounds in which all I have won. This little kid still has no jams by the way. He honestly sucks at everything except for dancing. That I give him.

"Why?" I asked, trying so hard not to laugh.

Every time that we don't have a schedule, we just stay at home too tired to really go out. Besides, I'm too caught up in a drama right now that I can't afford to be involve with another one.

Though no one is talking about it, I knew everyone is having a hard time especially since we moved out from the dorm.

Truthfully, I am not dating anyone at the moment. We are on the verge of doing a comeback and I don't want to mess everything up.

We have been through a lot for me to be selfish right now. Plus, me being the youngest would be a total pushover if I will be the one who'll cause all the trouble. They have done a lot of things and favor for me that's enough for me to be thankful for a lifetime.

All the things that have happened these past few weeks were totally bizarre and unexpected but I cannot say that I'm not happy about it, well, everything except that dating scandal.

When the dating scandal went out, our President immediately called my presence in the office. The others are not aware about it. He told me something I have never even imagine, that my half-sister is currently working in the company.

I never told anyone about her, even the members, not because I'm ashamed but because I don't have the courage to admit everyone how horrible of a brother I am.

The President never told me that we have to live with my noona. He just told me that my actions will result some serious consequences.

Honestly, I'm a little grateful for this chance. If not for the President, I still might not be able to face her even now.

The guilt that I'm feeling right now is eating me inside. It has been so long since I last saw my older sister. I knew myself that I was in the wrong then but I never did anything about it.

To be honest, I regret all the years that I've lost my contact to her. We were joint in the hip before.

When I learned that I have an older sister, I was so happy. I did not care about the fact that we don't share the same mom. My mom totally loves her anyway that I don't feel any different.

My selfishness took all of the years that we should have been making memories with.

When I found out that she'll be studying abroad, I got mad because she'll leave me behind. I almost do everything with her. She loves the same things that I love. She dances with me and play with me.

I knew I've hurt her feelings. It's not that I'm not happy for what she has become but during that time, I was just so afraid that she'll forget me, that one day, she won't tell me the things that are bothering her, she won't share me her secrets.

I did not even send her off properly when she left for America. I knew how much she cried because of me. I really want to tell her how sorry I was but I'm not sure how. I'm too ashamed of myself.

I feel horrible.

Every time she calls at home, I would always listen on the other line while she talks to our Mom. She would always ask about me and it hurts to hear her cry over the phone.

There was a time when she called telling our mom that she wants to go home. I dropped the phone because my tears won't stop from flowing.

When we were younger, she would always wear my clothes because she hates wearing girly outfits.

I would always pretend to be mad every time she gets my clothes whenever she's home and I'm not around but I actually make sure to leave something that I know she'd like. I'd always wash the apples in the kitchen counter at home because I know she always eat those.

But I can never tell that to her.

When she came out of the bathroom the first time we came in the house stunned me. She came out wearing just my over-sized tee. I almost threw my members out of the house but I had to jump over and push her back to the bathroom.

We were awkward at first because I don't know how to talk to her. I don't know how to apologize to her. It's a good thing that the guys are starting to warm with her. They are all getting along.

I was startled when I saw a hand waving an inch just in front of my face.

"Hey. Are you okay?" I must have been out for a moment.

I saw Jason hyung who's leaning close to me trying to get my attention, face full of concern.

"Of course." I smile. "Do you want to play another round? You actually suck at playing this, you know?" I mocked him while smiling.

" Yah!" I chuckled when he hit me in the shoulders.

"Ah. I'm so hungry" we had to turn around to see Haiden hyung coming out of his room, messing his already messy hair. He walked over us and sat down in one of the cushion.

"Josh hyung is cooking." I told him. "You want to play?" I asked.

Haiden hyung took a glance on us, his eyes barely open. "Nope. Just play with that kid beside you who is a great embarrassment when it comes to playing."

"Yahhhh!" Haiden laughed as Jason chucked him a throw pillow, myself doubling in laughter.

I can't stop myself from laughing when Josh joined us and sat down beside Haiden.

"Why?" He asked, totally clueless about what is happening. My eyes furrowed.

I haven't had the time to talk to Josh hyung. The way he treats Samantha noona is actually bothering me. I would notice how he always stole a glance at her when he thought nobody is looking. He is so attentive with her that I'm getting suspicious.

What's actually bothersome is how she responds to this. I notice how her face is blushing every time he's around. Besides, that scene the other day took me by surprise.

My sister was never close nor comfortable with guys besides me.

I mean, she's totally awkward. She never had the confidence and even though she had been introduced to a very liberated country like the U.S, I knew from my mom that she never had a boyfriend there.

That silly girl thought that she's ugly that she's totally clueless how most guys always take a second glance at her. She never noticed how she's a total head turner because she never pays attention, her vision always glued to the ground.

The other day, I caught Samantha giving Josh hyung a paper bag. I almost went inside her room to smack her big time when I saw how she run like a high schooler after she gave "her present" to him. She's not crushing on him right?

"You!" I snickered at Josh hyung who's poking Haiden hyung's cheeks while the other is once again trying to get some sleep.

He slowly looked at me as if unsure if I'm talking to him.

My voice must have come too strong as Jason nudge me in the shoulder. Of course, Josh hyung is older than both of us. He may be playful and kind but we knew when to not cross the boundaries. But not this time.

I did not pay attention to Jason's nudging.

"Are you talking to me?" His hands pointing to his chest.

"Yes."

I gulped, trying to get all the courage that I need. "Do you like Samantha?" I asked him directly.

Jason stopped nudging at me. Haiden opened his eyes and sat properly. The atmosphere suddenly changed while Josh hyung looked at me seriously.

I'm actually nervous as well right now. I'm not the one who always confront the other members as I'm the youngest but this is something I have to do. I can't simply let this go. I need to protect my sister. At least I have to know if he likes her because from what I can see, the two are totally flirting with each other.

"What is it to you? Do you like her?" He shot back at me.

I stare at him seriously trying to figure out what he's thinking.

"Guys..." Haiden hyung trying to break the tension.

"I thought you said you don't like her. Why are you so curious now?" He asked.

I looked at him intently, still serious as fuck, coz yeah.

"I just want you to know that I won't stay still if you hurt her. If you don't like her, stop being too cozy with her." I looked him in the yes to check his reaction while he's staring back at me.

He was silent for a few minutes.

I guess he doesn't like her. I pay my attention back to the game which was long forgotten, Jason biting his lower lip in nervousness.

"Why don't we just eat? The food's----"

"I like her." Haiden hyung was cut off by Josh hyung. My lips form a smile but I did not look back.

I'm fine as long as he doesn't hurt her. i trust my sister and I trust him as well.

Suddenly, the door just across the living room opened and speaking of that little brat, Samantha's figure showed up.

My mouth went dry when I saw her standing with just one of my old oversize shirt which is hanging just above her knees, her left shoulder showing as the shirt is hanging loosely on her body, her hair totally all over the place, her eyes half close.

I looked around to see the guys looking at her, mouth hanging wide open.

I took the pillow beside me and threw at her direction. It hit directly at her face.

"Yah! Samantha! Go back to your room and put something decent!" I yelled at her.

This girl is totally clueless.

I need to do something with her sleeping habits if we're going to be living with the boys.
