Chapter 44: ANGEL INDEED!!!

Kiaraa tossed and turned on her queen-sized bed for what seemed like a thousand times but still, her eyelids couldn't call it a day. She couldn't keep her head in a tranquil state.

'One sheep...two sheep...three sheep... " she counted inwardly in order to fall asleep but it looked like her mind was having another mind of its own.

Oh wow!!! How funny.

The night was so peaceful and quiet as it cast a perfect contrast to the turmoil that was going on inside her head.

She sat up abruptly with a deep frown and tugged at her hair heavily.

"Why can't I fall asleep? I was tired a moment ago wasn't I? "

Knock knock!!

By the sound of the door, she immediately slumped back on her bed, pulling the duvet over her head and shutting her eyes tight pretending to be asleep.

Shortly afterward, the knock came again but she still showed no signs of coming out of her pretense, and then the door was gently opened.

She could hear light footsteps towards her bed and her first guess was one of the members of Ultraviolet. No one would be as mischievous as those bratty idols.

"Kiaraa?" The voice called out and she frowned.

'Min? What is he doing here?' she wondered still with eyes tightly shut.

"You can open your eyes now Ara," Min said and sat on the little space on her bed staring at the girl heavily wrapped up in her duvet and a small smile crept towards his handsome face. Who sleeps as turgid as a wood? If she wanted to act she could at least learn from Arin.

Expecting her to give up on her act by now, but the reply he got instead was utter silence as the girl still didn't give up on her act, refusing to waver. Min sighed in exasperation and stood up. Walking towards her large windowpane, he raked his hands into his inky, black hair as he enjoyed the beautiful view of the bright full moon that was casting a pale, glowy shadow into the dark room illuminating it with little silver lights.

"Hmmm, I didn't see those hefty bodyguards trailing around you today and I'm guessing you have something to do with it?" he asked and that's when Kiaraa finally peeked her little head out of the duvet only to find her brother intently staring at her.

She gave out a sheepish laugh as she rubbed the back of her neck. "Did I ever mention that I have the most handsome brother in the world?"

Min just stared at her and shook his head. 'What a sly fox.' He thought as his immaculate thick brows creased.

"Kiaraa?..."

"Ok fine, it has something to do with me." She finally admitted with a big huff and Min eyed her suspiciously, "Don't tell me you killed them."

Kiaraa glared at him, "Alright I won't."

Min: ???

She glared at him sharply as she raised her hands in the air, "Hey, what do you take me for? A monster or a killing machine?" she asked and pouted cutely and Min nodded "Hmm, a very beautiful one." He declared which earned him yet another sharp glare from Kiaraa.

"Hmph, I'm an angel." She stated sharply and looked away like a little kid who was arguing with her parents if santa clause was real or not.

"Angel indeed!!!" he remarked sarcastically, "Then I must be a vampire."

"Anyways, I didn't kill them. I just told dad to keep them all out of my sight unless I'll break their bones and send them back to Seoul." She finally admitted and he laughed. His deep baritone laughter breaking the stillness of the night.

"I have never heard of angels breaking people's bones." He commented as he walked towards her with a huge grin plastered on his handsome face. Her brother's handsome and manly face has made her utterly immune to any handsome guy. Well, all except a certain silver-haired dude.

Although her facial expressions won't give anything away, she was really looking forward to seeing him on Sunday but she quickly shook her head to ward off any distracting thoughts before staring at her brother again.

"Lee Taemin, are you seeking a fight with me?" she asked and he quickly put his hands over his chest as he gasped overdramatically, "I would never."

Kiaraa just stared at him with an unfeeling look which prompted him to say his reasons behind his sudden visit.

"I wonder why they are after you." He stated with his expressions becoming frigid and serious.

Kiaraa eyed him, "Hey, don't put me in the limelight here. They are only after me because they don't know about the existence of you, Arin, and Kiyomi."

"True" he stated, "I'm sorry your life is in danger. It should have been me out there but I'm still wondering why father did it to you instead but no matter what, I'll find out the truth about the whole issue."

"And how are you going to find out the truth?" Kiaraa asked with a mocking smile settled on her lips as she crossed her hands over her chest.

Min knew what she was trying to imply, if he wanted to get his hands on such heavy information he would need the help of a really talented hacker and he happens to have one right in front of him. But he knew better than anyone else than to take that route as there are a lot of consequences attached to it.

"I'll be going to Italy next week." He stated and Kiaraa paused.

"Do you think they'll know?"

"Who would know better about the Lee family history other than those old geezers."

"Hey, don't call them old geezers, they're your grandparents."

"And yours too" he paused for a while as if thinking of something, "Anyways I'll be visiting them in Italy next week."

Kiaraa again gave him an unfeeling look, "Don't expect me to give you words of encouragement dear older brother, after all her highness has already risked her life twice so this is the least you could do." She stated firmly as she reached out her arm to flip her hair as usual but there was nothing.

It was then that she realized that her brother, out of habit, has wrapped her hair tight up in a bun. He does it so quickly and skillfully that it felt like just a little pat on the head.

Min laughed loudly noticing her situation. He had an inkling that she was going to flip her hair sooner or later. She loved doing that whenever she felt like a queen and when has Lee Kiaraa never felt like a queen? "Alright princess go to sleep." He patted her head softly and walked out of the room.

And as if a big lump has been removed from her throat, Kiaraa finally slumped on her bed and immediately drifted off to sleep.
