I was having a good and comfortable sleep not until I felt someone is hugging me; more like making me a pillow.
I opened my eyes, I saw one of my brother; Haneul is sleeping peacefully besides me. I slowly moved his hands away from me. Geez, he's a one clingy brother. I scanned my room and I was surprised to see Han—wool is sleeping in Haru's shoulder. Why are they here in my room anyway?
I gently shake Haneul to wake him up but there's no use, he keep ignoring me. This guy is giving me a hard time waking him up.
After a little more shook, Haneul is finally awake. He gave me a death glare, but I smiled cheekily at him so he calmed a little.
"What do you want?" He yawned.
"I think I'm the one who should ask that question. What do you guys want and why are you here in my room? Don't you know what privacy is?" I jerked my index finger at the two boys who are in a deep slumber in a couch.
"You don't remember what happened yesterday?"
I stared at him in confusion. What happened yesterday? I don't quite remember a thing?
"I'll take that as a 'Yes' because you don't have any idea what we've been through after you passed out last night."

"Wait I passed out? I remember that dad went home earlier than usual yesterday, then he was about to tell me something like I need to marr— WAIT A MINUTE." my eyes widened and turn into a bright yellow as I recall what happened last night.
Flashback
Dad went home early today? That's strange; I thought he is staying in South Korea for two months right? It's been only a week since he left.
"Where's Saera? I need to talk to her." I heard my father asked. Why does he need to talk to me? Is it important or urgent? Did he found out that Han—wool and I lost our phones for about four times this month? I'm screwed!
"Appa, I think she's upstairs. I will call her, just give me a moment." I heard Haru response to our father.
"Thank you, but can you please call your brothers too. I will discuss something to you guys." I think he really did found out that matter. For sure he will scold us for hours. Should I prepare myself? Good luck my poor self.
"Saera? Come downstairs, appa want to talk to us." Haru called me.
"Okay, I'll be going downstairs, just give me a minute."

I came downstairs to see appa sitting casually in the living room same as to my three lovely brothers. I approached them and sat beside Han—wool.
"I heard that you need to talk to me dad, so what do you want to say?" Please don't punish your daughter.
"And why do we need to be here if she's the one who you need to talk with?" Haneul said as he snuggle his head in a pillow. I pulled him so he'll sit straight I don't want my father to be mad.
"Are you sure that our presence are important here appa?" Han—wool asked and appa just let out a dramatic sigh. Okay? I guess this is it, he's really disappointed at me and Namjoon for being so careless.
"Yes, it's true that I need to tell something to Saera and she need to obey me whether she like it or not. You three are here because you're her brothers." Wait, what? I'm the only one who will get the punishment? How about Han—wool? This is so unfair!
"I want you to be with her and to inform you everything. After all she's our princess right?" He continued as we stare at him in confusion. I really don't get his point.
"Dad, we don't get it." Han—wool said and he scratched one of his eyebrows
"Just get to the point appa, I want to go back to sleep." Haneul said earning a smack from Haru. I giggled Haneul—oppa deserved it though.
"Sorry, for Haneul's rudeness dad. Where are we again? Please continue what you wanted to say." Haru laughed awkwardly.

"Well I will tell this straight to the point. I have a friend in South Korea and we kinda made an agreement way back then. I can't ignore or reject their request because they helped me, us way back then when we're in crisis so I owe them a lot so in return I accept their favor."
"Wow! You are good in explaining appa. So, what is your point there?" Haneul said sarcastically as he slowly clap his hands.
"So what do I have to do with it?"
"Right and why do we need to care about it?" Haneul said as he rolled his eyes.
"Because their request is to see their one and only son to marry your sister." My eyes color turn into bright yellow as a sign that I'm so shocked.
I saw my brothers are shocked too, especially Haneul, he is fully awake now and he even sat straight. Did we hear it right? Is this kind of prank?
"DAD! YOU ARRANGE MARRIAGE SAERA?!" Haru asked in disbelief.
"Why? There are so many girls out there. I don't want to sacrifice my sister to them." Han—woolsaid hugging me in a protective way.
"Because that's what they wanted and remember we owe them big time."
"ALL THIS TIME WE PROTECTED HER AND WE EVEN BANNED HER FOR HAVING A BOYFRIEND THEN YOU WILL MAKE HER MARRY A MAN HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW NOR LOVE. TELL ME IS THIS A JOKE?" Haneul is so furious.

"THAT'S FINAL! The marriage will be in next week so we're heading back to Korea tomorrow understood?" Dad walked away leaving us dumfounded. What did he say? Next week? Hah! I can't believe his doing this.
I'm still beside Namjoon sitting there frozen. What should I do? I don't have any choice; I need to obey my father. I can feel coldness inside my body the last thing I know I passed out.
