Soyeon looked out of the windows. Its raining outside. She turned her head down and look at her wristwatch. Its 10 p.m.. She make a small sigh. Where is that girl? Why she is not home yet? Oh God, she always make me worry to death. She walked around the living room and she sat on the elegant couch.
"Master, she is not back yet?" A woman asked. She can see the worries on her master face. Soyeon looked at her maid and nodded her head. "She'll be back. Don't worry, Master.." The maid try to calm a mater a little. She hold the Master hand. Soyeon smiled. "Thank you Qri, but its raining outside, I am worried if something might happened to her." She then look at her wristwatch again. There must be something that happened to her. She thought. Her mind started to imagining bad things that might happened. With a quick movement she got up from the couch and run to the shelf to grabbed the car key. She go near to the main door and as she was about to opened it... The door opened by itself. She was surprised by what was in front of her. The maid who saw her Master reaction quickly go near her, then with a quick movement she go upstairs to prepared a bathroom.
"Oh God, are you okay?" Soyeon asked as she saw her younger sister in a wet cloth while stroking her hair gently and checking around the girl's body afraid that she was injured. The girl just smile. She was shivering. "Let me in first, can you?" Asked that girl while hugging her own body because of wet cloth. "You better explained to me after this, if you don't, I will never let you go outside by yourself again!" Soyeon sighed as she warned her younger sister. She was badly mad inside. Who is not angry when your sister returned home late? Especially a sister who are in 'this' kind of state. But she still grateful to see her younger sister smile and don't have any injuries. She can breath a sigh of relief right now. She take the stick that was hold by the girl. She then led her to the room upstairs. The girl hold her sister's hand tightly while stepping on the staircase.
"Be careful," said Soyeon.

"I am not a baby anymore..." Said the girl. She take the towel from her older sister who was about to swab her hair. "But you are still a baby in my eyes... Just let me do it Jiyeon..." Soyeon said with soft voice. With gently she snatched the towel back from her younger sister's hand and ready to swab the hair. Jiyeon bowed her head a little to ease her sister to wiping her hair. Soyeon started wiping the hair gently. Jiyeon sighed. This kind of sister will never let her do something that is more 'heavier' than this. Even to the simple things like this she won't let me do it, I wonder what is her reaction if I try to cook in a kitchen and cutting off the ingredients like vegetables and stuffs. She must be screaming to death because of her overwhelming worries. She chuckled then as she is now imagining her sister's reaction if it is really happened.
"What so funny?" Asked Soyeon. Strange by Jiyeon's sudden laugh. Jiyeon just shaked her head with a smile left.
"Nothing, it's just you sister.. Even to this simple things you won't let me do it by myself, I wonder if I go to the kitchen and cut off some stuffs.." Jiyeon grinned. Soyeon who just finished wiping Jiyeon's hair pinched her both cheeks and shaking it left and right. Jiyeon groaned in pain.
"Its because you are such a baby to me.. Look at this cute face of you.. Aigoo~ this kid.." Jiyeon just laughed with her sister's sudden action. She then did the same things to her sister. Both laughed together, then laid down in bed facing each other.
"You know that I love you, you are the only one that I have after our parents passed away.. So, I don't want something bad happened to you.." Soyeon said. She stroked Jiyeon's hair gently. This precious younger sister, she will protect her no matter what happened. That was her promised to their parents not long ago.
"Aishh.. You think too much sister, I know how to take care of myself, its been a year now that I have lost my sight," Jiyeon mouthed, trying to convince her sister and to reduce a bit of her sister's anxiety.
"And I am getting used to it right now, so please don't worry..." she continued. Even though she is sad with her own condition, and still could not accepted the fact that she lose her sight, but as to make her sister's worries vanished a bit, she said that word. Soyeon can see Jiyeon's gloomy face. She know Jiyeon's intention by saying that word. 'Getting used'. It just makes her feels more bad actually. She knows that Jiyeon hate to be called as a blind person. Even her own self would be hurt if someone said that her sister is blind. That word, it is just cruel neither to be heard nor to be mentioned. Poor Jiyeon. Why would it have to be you that lost sights? She hugged Jiyeon tightly. Tried to hold back her tears. Jiyeon smiled and respond to the hug.
"I know you are crying, please don't cry, you make me feels really bad and useless for losing sight..."
"No I am not crying...." Soyeon said while wiping her tears and broke the embrace.
"You know sis, even though I couldn't see people and the world, I could see their heart, I could feel the kindness and sincerity in here..." Said Jiyeon as her hand latched on Soyeon's chest. Soyeon smiled. She hold Jiyeon's hand tightly.
"And I know, you are such a lovely cutey kind sister that I've ever had in this world.." Jiyeon continued with a sweet words out from her mouth. As Soyeon heard those words, she hit Jiyeon's shoulder softly.
"Aigoo~ such a nice word that you have huh..." She smiled. "Enough for today.. You should sleep right now.." Soyeon patting her younger sister to sleep. Jiyeon closed her eyes. Felts very comfortable having her sister beside patting her.
