19 A Good Friend Arrives (1/2)

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 shirt and a pair of baggy old-fashioned pants. Her choice of clothing was peculiar for a girl of her age but she was the type of person who 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 pass, 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.”
