"you'll be comfortable here, it's our guest's room and wang decorated it a few months ago - he said opening the door for her. she walked inside, following jinyoung. the room was big, bigger than usual guests rooms. it was all white and had a big window with white curtains. a double bed in the middle of the room towards a wall, a big closet with light gray sliding doors and another door similar that jinyoung mentioned led to a private bathroom. there was a vanity with a big mirror. 

"the tv is here - he said pushing a button on a small remote, a flat screen popped from the vanity. "it's... latest technology or that's what wang said." he said scratching the back of his neck.

"i don't know... if you don't like it, maybe-

"it's perfect, thanks." she said with a reassuring tone. he smiled, a sad kind of smile and nodded. 

he was nervous, it was soon's first time in this house, because she had visited the previous one with kihyun countless times.but this was a new house that jinyoung bought after his promotion. 

a house she never visited and park soon couldn't help but feel miserable that the first time she visited his new and improved house, was under such circumstances. 

"okay... uh- there's more blankets here- he said pointing at the closet - and fresh towels at the bathroom. "actually here are the fresher towels, straight from the drier - wang walked inside with a sympathetic smile and towards the bathroom.

jinyoung glanced at his sister, hands on his pockets and an awkward expression. "also brought some of my clothes, they fit you perfectly, we're the same size." wang finally added, walking out of the bathroom and leaving the folded clothes inside the closer. soon smiled. 

"thanks guys... really for... everything." wang walked towards jinyoung side and he put an arm around her, she hugged his torso. 

"anytime. you know we're family. and we love you very much, actually, i am thrilled that you're here, i've missed you so much- 

"alright. she's tired and she needs rest come on." jinyoung interrupted her, making funny faces. 

"right. have a good night soonie." wang said with a smile, soon tried to flash a smile too but failed. wang walked out of the room, leaving jinyoung alone with soon. 

"listen... i - he said taking a seat on the bed next to her - i know you probably know this already but you know you can stay here as long as you want right?" soon glanced at him with sad eyes, glassy. 

"i mean, i know there's no need for me to say this but this is your house too. you're my sister, you're family... don't feel uncomfortable please, we want you to stay here with us as much as you want." she looked away and finally nodded. 

"i really appreciate it, thanks." she said holding his hand and squeezing it a bit. he flashed a sad smile. 

"also... i need to remember you that the officers are coming tomorrow to take your statement. i was thinking maybe we can press charges on domestic violence- her eyes widened and she shook her head. 

"no, we talked this already. i don't want to ruin his life now that- she stopped talking when she realized she probably stepped out of the line. jinyoung frowned. 

"what?"

"i mean. i don't- she sighed- i don't want to ruin his life okay? he just... i wasn't a saint either." she said now, as if she had been talking about kihyun this whole time. fortunate for her, jinyoung let it go and nodded.
