Narrator’s POV

Inhee was finally back home. As much as she wanted to go back to work, her brother arranged a 3-week leave, rather forced her on a 3-week leave.

“But I’ll be so bored at home!” She whined. Jaejoong chuckled. Her two brothers were with her at the living room.

Butler Jang served a variety of cookies and tarts. Inhee grabbed a cup of coffee from the table.

“Noona, want me to install the PS3 in your room?” Chunji grinned.

Inhee gave him a look.

“Anyway, you need rest Innie. Your wounds are not yet fully healed.” Khun said calmly.

“But~”

“Inhee.” Jaejoong threw her a look. She closed .

Khun was amused. His sister was actually listening to Jaejoong.

“Everyone’s conspiring against me.” She muttered.

“Dinner!” Inhee said as she got in the kitchen.

“I hope you don’t mind, I asked the chef that I’d cook tonight.”

Inhee grinned.

“I don’t. The Chairman makes good food.”

Jaejoong rolled his eyes at her.

“What are you making anyway?”

“I made dumplings and bean paste stew.”

Inhee nodded.

Jaejoong got the hot pan without using something to protect his hands from the heat.

“It’s hot.”

Inhee suppressed a smile after seeing that he was okay.

“I have to go to the company tomorrow, are you going to be okay alone?”

“I guess. I’ll be fine.”

“If you want, I can send you over to Bom’s.”

“Ya, I can drive you know.” She grinned, as she tasted the soup.

“Nope, not now. You’re left side injured, wifey.”

“Fine, I’ll just stay home.”

“You should have let Chunji install the PS3.”

Jaejoong’s POV

“I heard Inhee was already released, how is she doing?”

“She’s fine, but she still insists on moving around.”

I was in Junsu’s office. The two of us just got out of the monthly BOD meeting.

“Ah, right, Junsu-ya, this afternoon, I have a meeting with Park Distributors, would you come in my place?”

“Well, I can. Why? You were the one who wanted to deal with Park Jaeb~”

I didn’t want to hear his name.

“I’m busy this afternoon, besides you should meet him too, we’ll be working with him.”

Junsu nodded.

I went out of the office.

“Jae?”

I looked up. Serin was standing by the door.

“Oh, you’re here. It’s been a long time.”

She nodded.

“We need to talk.”

I nodded and sat down.

“I’m leaving.” She said.

“What?”

“I’m leaving for Japan in a few weeks. I decided that I should take over with the branch there.”

“Rin, but why now?”

“I need some fresh air. I want to see new things.”

I knew what she meant.

“Rin, I’m sorry if I haven’t been able to give you an answer~”

“It’s okay.” She stood up.

“I’ll be going now, see you around Jae.” She said as she shut the door.

I sat back.

I’m sad that she had to leave. But I’ve long realized that I don’t love her anymore. Serin is one of my closest friends; it’s unfortunate that she has to leave. But I guess, it’s for the better.

Narrator’s POV

“We see our little baby is alone.” Junho grinned as he and the guys entered the house with tons of food with them. Inhee sighed.

“We’re here to cheer you up.” Taecyeon grinned.

“We brought lunch.” Jun said as he placed some bags on the table.

“Well, we still need to cook them.” Chansung said.

“You do realize that I don’t cook, right?” Inhee said as she stood up and greeted them with hugs.

“Yeah, but Junho does.”

“That would be a terrible mess.” Inhee said.

“Why don’t we just let the chef do his work and let’s enjoy a sunny day outside at the garden?” Inhee suggested.

“Cool.” Wooyoung said as he pulled her out.

“So, how’s the rib going?” Taecyeon asked as he lightly poked her side.

“It’s doing well, I guess. But aren’t you guys busy?” She asked.

“Well, we realized we’ve been neglecting you lately.” Wooyoung cheekily grinned.

“Yeah right, for all I know you guys have girlfriends now.”

“Well, you’re the one who got married first, BABY.” Chansung said. Inhee laughed and punched him in the arm.

“At least you’re happily situated, that makes our minds rest.” Jun nodded.

Your POV

I’m thankful my oppas came. It’s been almost a week since my house arrest and I was DEAD bored. Jaejoong was kind enough to pick up some books from the bookstore. I’m already halfway done with my 6^th book of the week.

“I see the inner bookworm is still lurking inside you.” Chansung oppa said as looked at my bookshelves. We were all inside my study and we already ate our lunch.

“I’m stuck inside the house, all I can do is read.” I shrugged. I sat beside Taecyeon oppa.

“So, how’s work going?” I asked.

“Your brother has been gracing business magazines lately.”

“Eh?”

“The Most Eligible Bachelor, Country’s Most Wanted Young Man, Golden Boy.” Junho oppa said.

“Golden boy’s old.” I commented.

“I haven’t talked to him lately too.” I added.

“Ya, it would be really enjoying if uncle and aunt arranges him for marriage too.” Chansung oppa said. We all stared at him icily.

Narrator’s POV

“Oh, you’re up.” Jaejoong said, looking up from his newspaper.

Inhee gave him a look.

“Let me guess, you want to go out today?” He grinned.

“Jaejooooong, it’s been two weeks.”

“I know.” He said looking back at the paper.

“Can I just please go out? I’ll ask the driver~”

“Inhee, it’s not safe for you yet. Seunghyun said you shouldn’t be moving around~”

“A package has arrived.” Butler Jang entered the room with another bouquet of flowers, pink roses this time.

Jaejoong looked at Inhee, who looked completely clueless as him.

“From whom is it?” Inhee asked the butler.

“It came with no card, miss.” He bowed politely and left.

Inhee tilted her head and came towards the flowers. She looked at it for a while.

“This is the second one.” She said to Jaejoong, who has become quiet.

“Maybe you have a rival, hyung!”

Junsu’s words echoed in his head.

He pursed his lips in agitation. He stood up.

“Arasso, we’ll go out today.” He said. Inhee smiled.

“Finally.” She said as she went up to her room.

Jaejoong watched her clim the stairs with a smile on his face.

Then his attention went back to the huge bouquet in front of him.

“Rival.” He grunted as he flicked on fat rose bud with his fingers.
