"Umm... O-of course" Lee Si-won stuttered, still astonished by the fact that Kim Hana was actually in his house. "Come in, please." 

The house wasn't big, but it very cozy, with antique furniture and many traditional ornaments. "So, aren't you supposed to be at the military base by this time?" Alex asked. 

"Yeah, but..." Lee Si-won started, clearly embarrassed.  “I got suspended.”

"Why?" 

"Well, some of my companions heard you and me arguing last week, and reported me to my superiors. They weren't happy to know about how I had behaved, and so it happened." 

Alex couldn’t help it, but he felt a certain satisfaction to hear that. Lee Si-won really deserved some kind of punishment. But suddenly, something worried the feminized man: What if Lee Si-won had made up this "sister story" just to bring Kim Hana to his house and then take revenge on her in some way? 

No one knew Alex was there, so no one would know where to look for him if he disappeared. Alex felt stupid for accepting that invitation. What was he thinking? He felt extremely vulnerable, something that wouldn't have happened by the time he was a man. Lee Si-won was so much stronger than him now, so Kim Hana would have no chance against him. 

"Umm... But shouldn't you have been arrested at the military base instead of being suspended?" the feminized man asked, as if he were trying to buy time and distract the sergeant while he thought of what to do next. 

“Usually, yes. But due my current situation, they..." 

"Lee Si-won, is there someone with you? I'm hearing voices" said a middle-aged woman entering the living room. She had short hair, a friendly face and was wearing a simple dress. 

"Hey, mom! This is..." 

"Oh I know who she is!" The woman interrupted him, looking at Alex with shining eyes. "How couldn't I, after all? Ye-rin talks about her all the time! I can't believe you actually came to our house, Miss Kim Hana. Thank you so much for this. Oh, my little girl will be so happy!" 

Well, something was clear to Alex now. Lee Si-won hadn't lied about his supposed sister, unless that was a very well-planned act with the help of that seemingly lovely woman. He was also taken aback by the way that the woman had welcomed him. She was almost crying! Alex wondered what was really going on there. 

She also apologized for her son's earlier behavior, and said that it wouldn't happen again. "I don't know why he treated you that way. He usually isn't such a bad boy, and he's very sorry now. Right, Lee Si-won?" she scolded him as if he were a little boy.

"Of course, mom" the guy said, embarrassed.

They then started walking to one of the bedrooms. Along the way, Lee Si-won placed his hand lightly on Kim Hana's shoulder, but seeing her expression he pulled his hand away quickly as if he had taken an electric shock. 

“I… I just want to ask you something before we go in there” the guy explained. “My sister isn't looking at her best right now, and she's very sensitive about that. So... umm... It would be nice if you don't show any kind of fright at seeing her. Please, we would be very grateful.”

When they entered the bedroom, the first thing Alex noticed was that there were at least a dozen posters of him around the place, some of them with the other members of the Sweet Dolls present, but most with only Kim Hana. There were also stuffed animals, dolls and other girly stuff that one can see in almost every little girl's bedroom.

Then, he finally looked at the bed, where there was a girl lying down, and his heart immediately broke…
