Heo Jin Goo arrived at the Lees' doorsteps at exactly 9 a . m .

He leaned against his car, exhaling the cold morning air . The weather was getting increasingly cold; a sign that winter was approaching .

"Jin Goo-oppa, you're here?" A familiar soft voice greeted him . The front gate opens to reveal a beautiful young girl, wearing a dark blue men's s.h.i.+rt and a pair of baggy old-fas.h.i.+oned pants . Her choice of clothing was peculiar for a girl of her age but she was the type of person that looked good in anything; even the 'tasteful' pants could not deter anyone from seeing her beauty .

Jin Goo offered a smile at the young girl, "I'm here . Where are the patients?"

"Hyuk-oppa is still sleeping but Gun-oppa went to wash up . He'll be ready in a few minutes . "

Jin Goo raised an eyebrow, "how can that b*stard still be sleeping when the sun's already out?"

Yeo Ri smiled helplessly, "He must've been too tired . I'll go wake him up now . "

"Do you need any help?"

"No need . You're already helping out a lot just by being here," Yeo Ri shook her head, looking at him gratefully .

"Okay, then . I'll wait here," he ruffled her hair, smiling dotingly . Yeo Ri was always so nice . He wondered if Hyuk and Yeo Ri were really related . How can such a terrible b*stard be related to such a nice girl? Did they really grow up under the same roof?

Yeo Ri laughed as she fixed her hair . She went back into the house .

Several minutes pa.s.s, and the door opens again .

"Hyung," Gun greeted Jin Goo politely . He was not very familiar with the man but since he came to help, Gun did not forget his manners .

"You must be Gun," Jin Goo nodded to the boy . He had been friends with Hyuk for the past two years but this was the first time he met with this boy called 'Gun' . Hyuk only had bad things to say about the boy, but with his personality, Jin Goo was not so quick to trust Hyuk's one-sided complaints . Since Yeo Ri got along well with Gun, then the boy was probably not as bad as Hyuk had described .

"Thanks and sorry for all the trouble," Gun says perfunctorily .

"It's my pleasure . Since Yeo Ri asked for a favour from me . "

Gun halted . "You're familiar with Yeo Ri?"

"Of course . I buy her food sometimes, too . " Jin Goo remarked, observing Gun's facial expression .

Gun frowned imperceptibly . He raised his guards up . He wondered if Jin Goo was also a delinquent like Hyuk, but judging from his demeanour and way of dressing, it was not right . Jin Goo was dressed in a neat brown coat with a grey sweater, a clean-cut pair of slacks, and expensive-looking shoes . The watch he wore was a branded one, and he even has a foreign-brand car . He looked too rich and too polite to be hanging around with Hyuk .

However, no matter how high his specs were, if this man was harbouring any type of ill-intention towards Yeo Ri, then he had to protect her .

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in Yeo Ri . " Jin Goo smirked slightly, noticing his reaction . The Lee brothers were so fiercely protective of their younger sister . Though, he could understand . If he had a sister who was that pretty, he'd be protective too . "I think of her as a little sister, too . "

"Sorry for being rude, then . " Gun grunted . His gait relaxed, but there was still some tension remaining . He did not completely trust his words .

"It's fine . " Jin Goo smiled wryly . It was rather fun to see the Lee brothers get so riled up whenever Yeo Ri was involved .

The two stood together in silence . Thanks to their unfamiliarity with each other, they did not carry any conversation and simply waited for the other two pa.s.sengers awkwardly .

Finally, Yeo Ri and Hyuk comes out, with the former half-supporting the latter .

"Oppa, come on! Stop moving around too much and just lean on me!" The girl grumbled .

"I don't need a weak girl like you to help me . I'm fine! I can walk on my own!" The man replied gruffly . He tried to pull away from the girl but every move he made was met with shots of pain .

He hissed in pain, but still did not stop resisting .

"Yo, Hyuk . You b*stard, just hurry up and get in the car . Don't be a f*cking pain-in-the-*ss," Jin Goo impolitely slapped the man's shoulders, sending another jolt of pain to his brain . He helped open the pa.s.senger door as Yeo Ri got him seated .

"F*ck you!" Hyuk growled at him .

"F*ck you, too," Jin Goo replied disinterestedly .

Yeo Ri got into the backseat with Gun, and the four sets out to the hospital .
