Jin Yunxia has always treasured a "cringe-worthy" old photo: a young Choi Seungcheol, with rosy lips and pearly teeth, pretty as a dainty little princess.
She returned from studying abroad with a soft, rose-colored image of her childhood sweetheart "Seungcheollie," only to discover that the one in her memories had transformed! He was now S.COUPS, a cool leader who dominated the stage and could kill with a glance offstage!
Jin Yunxia: Where's the gorgeous childhood friend I had to protect?!
Choi Seungcheol: ... (Cringe-worthy photo attack +1) But why is this troublesome girl, who always looks at me with that weird, pitying affection, growing on me?
To "keep her quiet," he took it upon himself to play the "best big brother in Korea," driving her around, keeping her company, and buying her snacks, doing everything he could to rebuild his dignified image.
But when someone confessed to her, he instantly lost his composure. With a dark look, he dragged her into a corner. "You promised to protect me when we were kids. Do you intend to keep that promise?"
She stared at him, bewildered. "Huh? So... what does that mean?"
He leaned down, his tone dangerous and tender. "It means you can only stay by my side and protect me for the rest of your life. Got it?"
Mingyu: ??? Bro, that's my little sister.
Seungcheol: Yeah... she's mine too.

Important!
1. Sweet romance, no angst.
2. The heroine is Mingyu's biological younger sister. Their family gets along well, with no melodramatic family conflicts.
3. I'll do my best to keep the members in character. Any OOC is on me. The childhood scenes are based on the setup and do not involve feminizing anyone. (Please don't come for me!)
Theme: Being happy is what matters most.
