Chapter 50 - Favour

"Cool, you can watch the movie with us" Kiaraa informed her sister.

Aera looked delighted with the news and so was Kim Do-Yun. Song Ji Hwan suddenly became a hero in their eyes, they looked at him thankfully and he shyly smiled, waving his hand at the two cute girls, "Not a big deal"

Then all the kids informed the servants what they want to eat and Ian was done setting up the movie.

There were two rows of individual recliner chairs, six in each line. Three on the left, three on the right with a small middle path separating them.

In total there were twelve recliner chairs but since there were only six kids, they all occupied the first row, leaving the row behind them empty.

Starting from left, Ian's sister occupied the first recliner which was next to the wall, Ian was sitting on the recliner next to her, Kiaraa was sitting next to him. 

The middle path which separates the recliners is between the seat Kiaraa and Song Ji Hun were sitting on.

Therefore, the first seat next to this path was occupied by Song Ji Hun, Song Ji Hwan was sitting next to him and Aera was sitting next to Ji Hwan. Aera's seat was the last in the row, so she had a wall next to her.

This was how the six people were seated: 

(wall) Kim Do Hyun, Ian, Kiaraa… (middle ... path) …Song Ji Hun, Song Ji Hwan, Aera (wall)

Ian controlled the movie settings with the remote in his hand, and after checking with everyone if they are ready, he started the movie after turning off all the lights in the room making the whole room dark just like in the movie theatres.

"Song Ji Hwan" A soft voice called his name, startling him.

The voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible, therefore only he heard it and turned to his left, to see the cute girl looking at him with her big, round eyes.

Song Ji Hwan raised his eyebrows to ask her what happened.

Aera curled her four fingers and gestured him to lean down towards her.

Confused at what happened, he leaned towards her.

"Hmm?"

"Thank you so much for helping me stay here, can you please do me another favour?" Aera politely asked him in a whisper.

"What favour?" Hwan asked.

"Can we exchange seats?" she shyly asked him.

Song Ji Hwan turned to his right and noticed his brother, who was seriously watching the movie.

"Why?" Song Ji Hwan knew why she wants to exchange seats with him but he wanted to tease her and see what she will reply.

Aera hesitated for a second but decided to be honest, "I want to sit next to Song Ji Hun oppa."

"Oppa? I am also two years older than you but you earlier called me by my name without any honorifics, why are you not calling me oppa?" Song Ji Hwan asked her in a whisper.

"I only call Song Ji Hun oppa as oppa" she was now getting annoyed as he was asking her multiple questions.

"Why? I am also older than you, call me oppa" he suggested.

"No, I don't want to" Aera countered

"You have to"

"But I don't want to" Aera's cheeks were turning red with anger as Hwan was getting on her nerves.

'Haha, so she knows how to get angry' Song Ji Hwan thought.

"Then why should I listen to you since you are not listening to me?" Song Ji Hwan retorted.

"Pleaseeee" Aera rubbed her palms in front of him, requesting him cutely.

'Oh my god, she knows how to get her way, so cute' Song Ji Hwan thought and gave in to her request.

"Why do you want to sit next to him?" He asked in spite of knowing the reason.

"I like him" she shyly confessed.

'Wow, she is bold' he thought.

"Fine, I'll exchange seats with you but it is not for free." He informed her.

Aera looked confused.

"I mean, if I do this favour on you then you will also owe me something" Song Ji Hwan explained but she still didn't understand as she was too young to understand the concept of owing each other.

Understanding her state, Song Ji Hwan explained, "I will help you now but someday when I will need your help you too will help me, okay?"

"Okay" Aera quickly nodded her head agreeing to it as this task felt very easy.

Song Ji Hwan and Aera exchanged their seats.

Song Ji Hun's attention was on Kiaraa, who was just a foot away from him, so he didn't bother about what was happening on the seat next to him.

Aera was very happy sitting next to Song Ji Hun, her happiness couldn't be hidden and it was clearly reflecting on her face.

'This kid is so lovestruck' Song Ji Hwan smiled and looked at his brother, who was stealing glances, sneakily looking at Kiaraa.

Song Ji Hwan already had an intuition that Song Ji Hun is developing a strong attraction towards Kiaraa and now seeing the way Aera looked at his brother, he got a bad intution.

'What if Aera falls for Song Ji Hun and he ends up falling for Kiaraa? Their lives will become so complicated. I hope I am just overthinking. Aera is just nine-years, Hyung is thirteen. Who knows once Aera grows up maybe she will like someone else or maybe Hyung is temporarily attracted to Kiaraa, which will be gone away in a few days? This peace-loving man can never fall for a drama queen like Kiaraa. I hope this is what happens and there are no complications in Hyung's life. Don't worry Hwan, Hyung's life would be fine, you are just overthinking' 

Song Ji Hwan was talking to himself, lost in his deep thoughts when suddenly he heard some loud gasps and soft screams, the next minute a soft hand tightly gripped his wrist, startling him further.
