The other four heard Minho’s heavy sigh as soon as they both sat on the floor after 3 rounds of straight dance rehearsal.

“Your sigh seemed like you just carried the whole world in your back.” Jonghyun said looking at Minho. “It’s not like Jieun won’t come back anymore.” He said.

“What if Jieun really won’t comeback anymore?” Key said and looked at Jonghyun, “It’s US for all we know, and I heard Jieun’s umma married a millionaire, so of course, they are living wealthily with all the riches around them. Who wouldn’t want to stay if that’s the case?”  

“She’s not like that. Ji Eun can’t be lured by money.” Minho defended Jieun.

“I was just stating the possibility.” Key shrugged his shoulders. “Like… It’s not really impossible to happen.”

“Is it the trend right now?” Taemin asked a sudden question. “Onew hyung left Soojin before they ended up really together, Choonhee left Jonghyun-hyung before they even realize they cannot leave with each other, Chae in went missing before she can even realize she wants to keep her baby with Key-hyung. Why is everybody separating before realizing they are for each other?” Taemin looked at them confusingly.

“Chill, makdoongie.” Onew patted Tae’s laps. “If you end up with Juliette… I swear you won’t do any separation. She’s too inlove with you to even think of leaving.” They chuckled as the tease turned to be towards Taemin now.

“Aish! Why do you even put her name into the conversation?! She’s so clingy! Really… I feel relieved now that she’s gone!” Taemin stood up while shaking his head, “I should just practice alone than talk with you about her.” He said.

“It’s sad I wasn’t able to go with her at the airport. They left this morning and I was able to give her just a call.” Minho continued when Taemin left.

“I know that feeling when someone left you, but it’ll be alright.” Jonghyun stood up and fixed his shoes, “Just don’t go around with other girls cause you and Jieun separated on a happy note. You don’t want her to ruin her 100% trust on you, do you?” He reminded and went to dance with Tae.

“Welcome to California!” Juliette shouted as soon as they arrived in California. After the long travel from Korea, they finally arrived in US. They are now inside the limousine and were being brought to the mansion where her mother lives.

“Beautiful…” Jieun uttered as she looked outside the window appreciating the beauty of the whole place.

“Ours is still a lot prettier.” Juliette said referring to Korea. “Oh! We arrived!” She said as soon as she saw their mansion.

Jieun blinked her eyes a couple of times, “Are you sure this is where you live?” She asked in disbelief. Juliette nodded, “But this is…”

“Uncle steve was still a bachelor when he met umma… so after getting married, he spent all his savings in building this mansion.” She explained. “Uncle is a great businessman… whatever he enters in the world of business, it will surely be successful.”

The house was along the coast. If they don’t want to swim in the huge swimming pool, then the beach is just few meters away from home.

They went out of the limou and started walking towards the house. Jieun started to shake. She cannot control being nervous and excited at the same time.

The door opens and two maids immediately went to welcome them. Juliette only nodded but Jieun did the 90 degree bow at every person she meets inside.

“Where’s mom?”

“She’s at the kitchen and personally preparing the food for the two of you, Ms.” One maid uttered.

“By the way… let me introduce you to my sister. She’s Hwang Shinyoung. She’ll be living with us for a while.”

The maid bowed at her and greeted her properly, “Welcome home, Ms. Shinyoung.”

“Unnie… Do you also want to have an English name?? I think it will be cute to call you Cindy.” Juliette looked excitedly but Ji eun shook her head.

“I already have two names, dear. Shin Ji Eun and Hwang Shin Young… how can you add another one again? It will make people a lot more confuse.” She said while smiling.

“Oh right. You have the point there.” She giggled. “Let’s go to the kitchen. Mom is waiting.” She grabbed her unnie’s hand and they walked together to the kitchen.
