But things turned out to be much more difficult and complicated than she had thought.

It had been more than four months since she had moved to the country and occasionally hanging out with her brother's friends but Yichan never even looked at her let alone talking to her. He used to talk to Yifei all the time and also joke around with her which boiled her blood. She hated how close he was with her and how he was with Yifei. ​​

The only reason why she had befriended Yifei was to get close to the whole others, especially Yichan but things didn't really work out as smooth as she had thought when she realized that Yifei did not like hanging out with her brother's group and chose to spend her time in the library and at home instead. And whenever she convinced her to hang out with the others, Yifei would joke around and talk with everyone while Angella would feel very left out.

There were times when she tried to initiate a conversation with Yichan but the latter always answered her briefly or did not say anything at all.

Stretching her neck a bit when she saw Yichan pat Yifei's neck, she gritted her teeth. She should have been there sitting with Yichan and not her.

….

Six hours later.

Haliman Resort.

Passing the coat which was draped around her, Yifei stated, "Brother Yichan, your coat."

"It's alright, you can keep it until you enter your room and return it to me later." Patting her head, he smiled, "Wear something warm, it's very cold here."

After Yichan left, Angella quickly approached Yifei and inquired, "Fei, can I ask you something?"

"Of course, you can ask me anything."

"Is there something going on between you and brother Yichan? I mean, do you like him?"

Widening her eyes in shock, Yifei snapped, "What are you talking about Angella? Are you out of your mind?"

"Don't get me wrong but brother Yichan seems to be very nice and close to you but he doesn't even talk to me so—"

Cutting her off, Yifei frowned, "That's because brother Yicha doesn't like interacting with new people. I have known brother Yichan since I was very small, not only is he brother Yufan's best friend but we are family friends too. I have always seen him as a big brother, how can you even say something like that?"

"I-I was just thought that maybe you like him because—"

"Don't think of useless things." Without waiting for her reply, Yifei walked away leaving Angella behind.

Pursing her lips, Angella mockling scoffed before walking towards her room.

…..

Angella and Yifei's room.

"Yifei, please don't be angry anymore." Grabbing her hand, Angella added, "I really didn't mean to hurt you."

Yifei sighed and helplessly shook her head, "Fine but don't say such things again, brother Yufan's friends are my brothers and there is nothing going on between brother Yichan and me."

"Okay, I am sorry.���

"It's okay." Taking off Yichan's coat, Yifei placed it on the bed and entered the washroom.

After she left, Angella picked up the coat and rubbed it against her cheeks before hugging it tightly. She then draped it around her shoulder and pulled it closer. She loved everything that belonged to Yichan, she could never get enough of it. Only if she could hug him tightly and never let him go.

….

Two days later.

"Dude, you will take care of Angella while I am away right?"

Yichan nodded his head and answered, "Of course, everyone is there to take care of her so don't worry man. But why do you have to leave?"

"I just need to meet someone in the other town and take a consignment for dad," Roger answered.

"How far is that place?"

Wearing his jacket, Roger stated, "It's just three hours by road but I might have to stay there for a day and be back the day after tomorrow."

"Hmm it's alright because Hannah isn't well so we won't be going anywhere until she feels better," Yichan answered.

Scrunching his brows, Roger inquired, "Is it something serious?"

"No, Muchan is looking after her and she is feeling a lot better now."

"That is great, Dr Muchan is quite useful," Roger chuckled.

Glancing at his watch, Yichan informed, "It's about to get dark, you should leave now."

Grabbing his bag, Roger sighed, "Yeah, I'll meet Angella once before leaving."

.....

Angella and Yifei's room.

"When are you coming back?" Angella inquired.

"I'll be back soon, don't trouble Yichan and others, okay? Stay with Yifei and behave." Roger instructed.

Helplessly shaking her head, Angella sighed, "I am not a small kid brother Roger, I can take care of myself."

Patting her head, he gave her a few more instructions and left.

After some time, Yifei entered the room and started looking for something. "Ang, did you see brother Yichan's jacket?"

"No, I didn't," Angella lied before pretending to look for it.

"I kept it on the bed but—" Looking inside her bag, Yifei added, "I need to return it to brother Yichan."

"Weren't you with sister Hannah? How is she feeling now?" Angella inquired.

"She is still down with fever," she answered.

Grabbing her hand, Yifei suggested, "You should go and stay with her, I'll look for the jacket and if I get it, I'll give it to brother Yichan."

Giving Angella a hug, Yifei sighed, "Thank you so much Ang, you are great."

After she left, Angella took out the coat from her bag and smiled. She then fixed her and applied a light lipstick before walking out of the room.

….

Yichan's room.

Giving the coat to Yichan, Angella smiled, "Yifei sent me to give you this coat."

Taking the coat from her hand, Yichan let out an affirmative sound and was about to close the door when Angella stopped him.

"Brother Yichan, can I talk to you about something?" Without waiting for his reply, she added, "It's really very important."

Thinking that she really had something important to talk about, he let her in.

"What is it?" he inquired.

Tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, she stated, "I wanted to tell you this for a really long time but I didn't get a chance to do it." When he did not say anything, she continued, "I-I like you, I really do but you don't have to answer right now, you can take all the time that you need. I know you might be worried about brother Roger and what he will say but you don't have to worry about anything, I'll talk to him."

Without waiting for his reply, she rushed towards the door but before she could step out of the room, Yichan stopped her. "Stop right there."

Turning towards him, she blushed hard and lowered her head. It took her a lot of courage to tell him what she exactly feels for him and she was expecting him to feel the same for her too.

Crossing his arms in the front, Yichan casually answered, "You Roger's sister which makes you my sister too, I don't know how you got this whole idea of us being romantically involved but that is never going to happen. Take those useless thoughts out of your mind and focus on your studies."

"But—"

Cutting her off, he snapped, "So you want me to call your brother and tell him about the useless and senseless things you are thinking of?" When she shook her head, he added, "Leave and stop thinking about useless things."

Though the tone he used wasn't loud, it was cold and distant which was completely different than the warm one he used while talking to Yifei. Wiping her tears away, Angella rushed out of the room.

….

Angella and Yifei's room.

Sitting on the cold floor in a corner of the room, Angella was hugging her knees and crying her heart out. The man she had feelings for had coldly rejected her proposal which made her feel awful and heartbroken. The sole purpose of coming to the country was Yichan who had just turned down her proposal and shut her out.

"Ang, what happened?" Yifei gasped before rushing towards her.

Kneeling down right in front of her, she panicked, "Why are you crying? Did something happen?"

Crying harder, Yifei explained, "Brother Yichan doesnt love me."

Scrunching her brows, Yifei inquired, "What? Brother Yichan? What exactly happened?"

After explaining the entire thing to her, Angella added, "I don't know what to do now, can you talk to him for me? He will listen to you, just tell him that I love him alot and—"

Cutting her off, Yifei sighed, "No Ang, I cannot talk to him."

"Why not? You can't do such a small thing for your best friend?" Angella snapped.

"How do you expect me to talk to brother Yichan about such things, Angella? It will be so awkward and I think brother Yichan is right, you should really stop thinking about such things."
