He found the stimulate in the old man eyes is disappear immediately. He even can’t reply and hesitate with looking him blank eyes.

“Don’t worry nothing Suk Jin Ssi… you can tell me all you know…for that I assure you cannot receive any blame from anyone”… he said while deeply look the old man’s eyes. The old man think a moment with avoiding his eyes. But a moment later, the old man sigh heavily and look him with he can’t afford anything expression.

Therefore, everybody accused her that she was killed to old Master when the old Master was dead in accident”… the old man break his words a moment and look Jong Kook as waiting the words from Jong Kook. But when Jong Kook nothing tell him, he continues his words.

“And their son…he was a mute since he was born… and…everybody think that he was the son of Madam Go and the old master…but the real wasn’t he is not Madam Go’s son…he is the son of the old master and a floozy which they got after errant”…. Jong Kook get shock when he heard. So… this old master is really depraved man... and he feel bad for Madam Go.

"At that time, your father was the confidante for her and she love him as her own son…therefore, she abandon your father as inheritor son…but she so disappointed when your father elope your mother and run away from her…” ……… Jong Kook sink in his words…he was more interest for he was know taht the about which he doesn’t hear from one of the mouths. He really appreciates to the old man.

“Actually, Madam Go don’t let the persons in the “Floral Breeze” to tell about that house to another people… So..now I feel that I betrayed to Madam Go”… the old man said with upset voice. Therefore, Jong Kook comfort him while patting his shoulder and he aware that they are so loyal to their old Mistress.

“No Suk Jin Ssi…that’s not betraying… that’s only you considers me as your ‘Master”… I really appreciate for that….really”…. he found the smile again on the old man face after his comforting. The old man look his face deeply and

“You’re very look like with your father”… that comment make his face to full of satisfy smiles. He always heard that comment from everybody since he was young. He also proud for that.

“Kook Jong…Kook Jong… I really miss him…he was always loyal to Madam Go…and he also a kind man”… the coachman mutter his father about with smiling.

“Ohh… I have to ask again…”… due to his sequel words, the old man’s smile are disappeared again. Look like his questions are make the old man to muddle. But he don’t care and the only important is he want to know about this house certainly. And one of the thought he have is Ji Hyo refusing his feeling is can be concerned this about but he not sure and just only his thought. Therefore, he want to know about the  “Floral Breeze” and he think he can get the answer.

“I also want to know about the rumours of “Floral Breeze” and these are truth or only rumor”… he ask to the old man. But he found that the old man shocked for his question. He  quiver suddenly and he found that his hands are shaking non-stop.

“Suk Jin Ssi…don’t try to lie nothing and tell me all!!!!”…. he ordered the old man with serious tone. He clearly see that the old man have the hard time. The old man didn’t reply immediately for he control his shaking.

“Sorry…sorry Sir…I can’t tell you… but believe me…they are only rumours…believe me”… the old man said hesitantly. Jong Kook surprised for his answer. He think that the old man will be told everthing for he was the master of him. He never hope that the old man will refused his command.

“Suk Jin Ssi…I don’t want to fire you!!!!!!”… he told with a little shout. But the old man shake his head non-stop and

“That are only rumour Sir…only rumour…please believe me”…. The old man was begging him. His voice is even with mix sobbed.

“Yes…I will be believe…now,,,I only want to know about the rumors…I told you to tell about the rumors of “Floral Breeze”….. he explain carefully to the old man.

“Why do you want to know the rumours Sir???...That is only rumours…So,,, why don’t you want to know that nonsense”… the old man still stubborn. And the old man kneeled in front him and

“Please Sir… You can fired me if you want Sir… Please don’t ask me nothing…please”… the old man begging with holding his kneel and crying heavily.

Therefore, Jong Kook have no ways except give up his curious and come back to the house. But his begging can’t make him block his detective. He searched the whole bookshelf with hoping will be found some book likewise diary. But…. The old stupid persons are look like didn’t wrote the diary and he even cursed to Madam Go for not wrote the Diary. And…Ji Hyo also avoid him always for afraid he will nag her to accept his feeling. But she is not wrong that she avoid him because he also always confessed his feeling when he met with her. Therefore, he can’t blame to her for always avoid him.

And there also have one of the facts that make him to enhance his curious.

Yesterday night…

He was woke up suddenly like the first night at Floral Breeze. But he can’t open his eyes for he felt like the coldness is cutting his face harshly. He also a little angry for waking without no reason during that time. Therefore, he covered all of his blankets till reach over the head and try to sleep again. At that time….

“Hmmm~~~”… the soft groaning sound was appear after the silent of the night. But that time he don’t feel strange for he know that is the groaning of the animals. So, he neglect that voice and continue his trying to sleep. But the sleep is hate m hiat that time and his eyes  didn’t immediately sleep. A moment later, the sounds are appear again. But now he feel strange for he hearing isn’t the groaning. That is whispering two persons.

His curious sense is not let him to sleep peacefully in the bed. He immediately jump down from the bed and open the door a bit. Now, he don’t open his door like the first night. He only open a bit and sneak outside. But outside of the room is completely dark and he didn’t see nothing like his eyes are covering with something. Therefore, he only listen the conversations of whispering.

“Unnie… Why are you always blame me???”… he heard the whisper of a lady. She is look like a little angry and he also sure she is Eun Hye. So…automatically he know the other person is Ji Hyo.

“Shut up… how many time I will tell you to take care that?? Because of you…he happen like that”… Ji Hyo also angry that time. But they tell about whom. “He” is “who”…. He wasn't serious for 'he' because that also can be the orphans…therefore, he continue his eavesdrop.

“Unnie!!!!”… he heard Eun Hye shouting Ji Hyo and therefore… her voice is a little loud.

“Shut up!!!!! Why are you shouting??? This place is near with Jong Kook’s room… why are you make noisy???”… Eun Hye received the scold from Ji Hyo. But she didn’t tell back as Ji Hyo is right.

“I don’t want to happen like that next time… pay attention to your duty”… Ji Hyo said shortly and enter her rooms. And after, he heard the footsteps and that is leading to the stair. Therefore, he was knew Eun Hye also go back to her room.

He come back to his bed and enter the blankets. But he can’t sleep now and he was wandering with thinking their conversations till reached the morning.

At the morning, he got the idea that he have a person who can ask about the rumours of “Floral Breeze”… Therefore, he come out to the downtown with the reason to buy the gifts. And he also take the other threes for he don’t want to get the suspicious for he go to the downtown alone. He didn’t believe to the coachman who will not tell nothing to them...The coachman is the loyal person of Madam Go and Floral Breeze. Therefore, he already take all of them not to get suspect.

During his wandering, the coach is stop and after, the coachman opened the door as inform they reach to the downtown.
