Chapter 68 - Only I Can Trouble My Sister

"Song Ji Hun, earlier I made a request to you, which you can ignore now" Kiaraa informed Song Ji Hun, she was talking about the prince role she requested him to enact.

"I would have anyway ignored it" Song Ji Hun coldly replied and left from there.

"Did I offend him in some way?" Kiaraa asked Hwan, seeing the guy who waited for her for so long and then suddenly walked away.

'Not you but Ian's hand which is around your shoulder did' Hwan thought but cheekily smiled at them, "My brother is moodier than women during their periods"

"Don't talk about such topics so openly" She hit his arm and acted like she was feeling shy.

"Overacting" Hwan flicked her forehead again and ran towards his brother.

"Hyung, we are supposed to leave together" He shouted while catching up with his brother.

"Why do you want to leave with me? Go with Ian" Song Ji Hun didn't hide his sour mood from his brother.

"Just calm down, we are close friends so hugging and putting arm around one's shoulder is a common gesture amongst us. Don't be so narrow minded"

Song Ji Hun stopped walking and glared at his brother, "Are you crazy? What are you talking about?"

"Can you at least not pretend in front of me?" 

"Why is she so close to Ian?" Song Ji Hun couldn't pretend anymore like he was fine with the close friendship between Kiaraa and Ian.

"Since she was born, he didn't distance himself from her and was always there as her best friend"

Ji Hun deeply sighed, "I need to make peace with the fact that she would end up with Ian in future"

"Hey, don't give up without even trying" Song Ji Hwan never saw Ji Hun like this, on the verge of giving up.

"Forget it" Ji Hun walked towards the car which was waiting for them and Hwan silently followed him as he was sure, nothing is going to make his brother comfortable right now.

Monday

After school hours, Kiaraa, Hwan and Ian went to the auditorium where the Cinderella play rehearsals were going on.

Today morning, they got to know the play teacher convinced Aera to take up the role of Cinderella and since Kiaraa is not playing the evil sister role anymore, Aera accepted this opportunity.

Kiaraa wanted to see who replaced her and also she wanted to check how her sister is doing as at the end of the day, that teacher took Kiaraa's advice by selecting Aera.

The three people comfortably settled themselves in the front row to watch the rehearsals.

The other cast was still not here and some of the crew people were trying to set the props, preparing the stage.

In a few minutes, Aera entered the auditorium but seeing Kiaraa there, she got a bit scared.

"Elder sister, what are you doing here?" she nervously asked her.

"Are you disappointed to see me?" Kiaraa questioned the small girl.

Aera shook her head in no. She wasn't disappointed, she was terrified.

"Good, now go and get ready for the rehearsals, we are here to cheer you" No one believed Kiaraa's words but nonetheless Aera just left from there to get ready for her first rehearsals.

Later, the cast was here and after the woman in charge of direction explained Aera her role, the rehearsals began.

One of the girls playing evil sister, the one who replaced Kiaraa, taunted Aera in the scene.

"Maids are not invited for the royal ball, so you are supposed to stay home and do all the house chores. Also, clean my room"

Aera nodded her head and was about to go back to do her chores when Kiaraa suddenly stood up and stopped Aera from leaving.

"She is insulting you and instead of fighting back, you are just listening to her?" Kiaraa scolded her sister and looked at the new girl, "How dare you insult my sister?"

"I didn't, I was just following the script" The poor girl heard of what happened last week, so she too was a bit scared of Kiaraa.

"What kind of a script is this? I don't accept it" Kiaraa looked at her teacher, who was on the verge of crying in frustration.

Since the moment she saw Kiaraa there, she kept having a bad premonition and now that her feeling was proven to be right, she was not sure how to react.

"Kiaraa, why are you doing this?" The teacher helplessly asked her.

"Because in this world, only I have the right to insult and trouble my sister. Outsiders are not allowed to do so"

"So, what do you want? We change the script and show Cinderella rebellious?" Teacher questioned Kiaraa in frustration.

"No, do whatever you want to do but my sister is not going to play such roles" Kiaraa looked at Aera and said, "Pack your bags, you are quitting this play"

"Weren't you the one, who suggested Aera is perfect for this role?" This teacher didn't have the energy to find another Cinderella now.

"Yes, but only when I play the evil sister, she is perfect to play Cinderella. Without me she is not allowed to play this role" Kiaraa turned to her sister, who didn't pack her stuff yet.

Sensing her gaze, Aera immediately went to pack her stuff and in the next five minutes, the two sisters walked away leaving the teacher infuriated.

That day Kiaraa's parents received a call from the school counsellor asking them to visit her.

Cancelling his meetings which were scheduled for that day, Lee Myung Soo appeared at the school and met his wife at the entrance, who was waiting for him.

"Any idea what happened at school?" Myung Soo worriedly asked his wife.

"No but I am not surprised. Given Kiaraa's behaviour this was expected to happen someday." Chu Yu Ri coldly replied.

"Yu Ri, don't be so pessimistic" He stroked her back and the two people headed inside.
