..........

Soobin cleared her throat to get the attention of the crazy family. Yoonmin glanced at her and blinked in surprise. Why was her hair so short?

"I'm done with my shift for today," she told them, not looking at Yoonmin. "I can stay back with sis tonight."

"I'll be staying," Minyoon said. "Why don't you take Miyoo home? Yoonmin can take you."

"In that case, I'll go as-" Junho was saying but Minyoon put a hand around his mouth to shut him up.

"You'll stay with us old man!"

Jina and Hobin only shook their heads while Miyoo only stared at all the adults, unable to comprehend what the hell they were talking about. Soobin was not looking at Yoonmin who gave her an odd gaze but did not say anything.

"We'll get going then," he said. "I'll come back tomorrow morning."

Turning to Soobin he added, "Let's go."

She merely nodded, not looking at him. Her heart was troubled because she knew he was going to ask her about the haircut and she had no answer to it. What was going to happen if he found out that she was bullied?

Knowing Yoonmin, he was going to make sure that Sera and Miho's families were destroyed. She had heard about what the Hwang's were capable of doing and even though they were normally very affable, once angered they could bankrupt someone in seconds.

They reached his car. Yoonmin had thankfully gotten a special driver's license for himself thanks to a few strings he pulled. He put Miyoo in the backseat, buckling her. She was half-asleep by then, dozing off. Soobin got into the car with Yoonmin, still wondering what to tell him. Yoonmin revved up the engine and they sped off.

"H-How was your trip?" she asked in an attempt to lighten up the atmosphere.

"It was good."

"Did the investors like your proposal? They must have! After all-"

"Both of us know that you don't understand an iota of business and are trying to change the topic," Yoonmin said bluntly. "What happened in my absence?"

"Nothing!" Soobin lied. "Everything was fine other than Jina sis' accident. That was scary! We were all so scared and-"

"Your hair, Kim Soobin. What happened to your hair?"

"I like the hair style."

Soobin tried to keep her voice steady but she was a bad liar. Yoonmin stopped the car and turned to her. His almond colored eyes were staring at her with an intensity which was hard to ignore. She tried not to look at him but it was impossible to escape him. Soobin gulped, afraid that he was going to dump her because her hair was short now. After all, he really liked touching her hair whenever they were alone.

"Are you going to dump me?" she asked in a small tone.

"Heh?"

Yoonmin's stern gaze turned into an incredulous one. Dump her? What?

"Why would I do that?" he frowned.

"You like my long hair," she mumbled. "And how I look pretty in it…"

Yoonmin poked her forehead but instead of annoyance, there was affection in his action. "Silly girl!" he snorted. "I don't care about how you look! Who the hell cares if your hair is long or short? I don't."

"You'll not dump me?"

Soobin was relieved. She was worried that he was going to be angry at her or do something rash after seeing her like that but he was calm.

"Of course not! Why will I do that? The only thing I'm worried about is that it's gonna be harder to keep the other pesky guys away from you!"

Soobin was confused. Why would other guys come after her?

"You look sexy now!" Yoonmin admitted. "It was hard to keep your fan following away from you but now, the fans will only increase."

He let out a loud sigh, making Soobin blush. "What I want to know…" he went on. "Is why you got the haircut?"

"I-I told you! I like it."

"Liar."

Yoonmin knew that she was lying through her teeth to stop him from becoming angry. Soobin loved her long hair and always took care of it. There was no way she would cut it off without a valid reason.

"I…" Soobin took a deep breath and narrated what happened to him. Yoonmin's gaze darkened with every word. He gripped the wheel of the car, his aura growing colder and colder as Soobin described what happened that day at school.

"Baekha helped me that day," she said. "And she had to cut off my hair because the goo wouldn't come off. And I asked Minmin not to tell you because I know you'd leave everything and come back. I didn't want to disturb you. So I kept quiet. I still don't know who did it-"

"I do," Yoonmin said as he started the engine again.

Soobin gulped and quickly said, "Please don't do anything to them! I know they're wrong but this is all childish games. Let's just ignore them and move on. Besides, after we graduate from high school, we won't be seeing any of those people. So, let's not hold a grudge!"

"I'm not holding a grudge," Yoonmin said, surprisingly calm. He flashed her a small smile but Soobin could see that he was plotting something.

"You...you won't harm their families?" she asked in a skeptic tone.

"Nope. I won't harm their families at all."

"Thank god…"

Soobin was now truly relieved. Yoonmin was more sensible than he let on. She was happy that he was not going to stretch this issue. All Soobin wanted was to spend her high school years in peace with the few friends she had.

A while later, they stopped in front of Siwan's mansion where Soobin was about to get off. She gave Yoonmin a quick kiss and smiled.

"See you tomorrow," she promised. "I'll go to the hospital after school ends."

"I'll pick you up," Yoonmin said. She got out of the car and waved at him as she went into the house.

Yoonmin watched her leave. As soon as she was out of sight, he took out his phone and texted Minyoon. He was sure that after witnessing what happened to Soobin, Minyoon was not going to stay quiet at all.

"Are we taking down those bitches?" he texted. Within seconds Minyoon replied.

"Of course we are! Baekha will tell us what to do. Let sis get better."

Yoonmin nodded. As if sensing his overwhelming aura, Miyoo woke up.

"Yoonie," she mumbled. "Angry?"

"No sis," Yoonmin said. "Yoonie isn't angry."

He paused and added, "He's furious."

"Ooo!"

Miyoo was now interested. Yoonie was angry? Even the child knew that her brother was going to wreak havoc. She flashed him a thumbs up.

"Good luck, Yoonie!" She cheered him on.

Yoonmin smirked and drove away, ready to root out the bullies who dared to hurt his girl.
