In Lu Han apartment..

“Xi.Lu.Han.wake.up.wake.up!”Ji Ah called out his name in robotic tone.She even kick his leg.

“Ji Ah~~~I’m still sleepy”he pulled up the blanket to cover up his face.

“Lazy bum.I won’t come here again if you still act like this”she take a sit on Lu Han.

Lu Han get up immediately when Ji Ah threatening him.His eyes was still closed and his hair was really messy.

“You are really good in threatening me Ji Ah.”he put his arm around Ji Ah waist and hugged her tightly.He put his head on her shoulder.

“Can I ask you something Ji Ah?”

“Hurmm? What is it?”

“When will you take me to greet your mother?”

Ji Ah was startled. Lu Han keep asking her to take him greet her mother since they first dating.

“It’s not the right time Lu Han. Just wait a little bit more.”she only can give the same answer to him anytime he asked about it.

“It’s already 5 years Ji Ah. Until when did you want to keep me secret from your mother? I don’t want to continue this kind of relationship forever. Just marry me already Ji Ah.”

Ji Ah keep silent. What Lu Han say was true. Never once in these 5 years she ever mention about him to her mother. She too scared. She know her mother will never accept him. Not if she know his background.

“Let’s not talk about this anymore okey?”she pushed away his hand to released her.

Lu Han who was still half asleep on the bed just give a smile. Ji Ah give him same answer again this year. He too doesn’t know why she keep refusing his only wish.

“ I need a drink.Wear your shirt back before I come back here!”she throw Lu Han shirt to his face.

“Where is her manner? She could just hand it to me properly”

After drinking a glass of water in the kitchen, Ji Ah walked to the living room  to check up her phone.But then she saw two movie ticket on the table. She take it and went up to Lu Han room.

“What is this Lu Han? Movie ticket? With who  you go watch it?”she asked when Lu Han was just get out from the bathroom.

“Ahhh I forgot to tell you last night. I met with Tao’s girlfriend. I went to watch it with her since you are so busy. You didn’t mind right? I swear there is nothing happen between us!”

“Nope I didn’t mind. In fact I was happy.”

“Happy? What do you mean?”

“Ahhh.. I’m happy that you met Bo Mi.”she lied to Lu Han.

“I see. Poor her. Tao cancel their date yesterday. She was alone so I just take her along with me. They have a big fight last night.”he say, in symphatize.

“They’re fighting? Just like what I planned to be. This is the good news to me. Poor you Bo Mi. When you are trying to build up relationship with him, it’s already ruined now. Too soon!”

“Ji Ah? Why are you smiling? Did something good happen?”

“Nope. Nothing much. I’m just happy to be with you”

“I’m a lot more delighted to be with my dear girlfriend.”he take a look at her face. The face that he been longing for this whole time.

Zeus company..

“Ahhh it’s been a long time since I was here right unnie?”

Se Kyung just nodded. She never see Bo Mi so enthusiastic . Maybe that is the enjoyment for a workaholic like her. Work work work. Day and night without stop.

“Just don’t get yourself exhausted again Bo Mi”

“I know I know. You remind it soo many time. Geez unnie.”

When they walked in the lobby suddenly the receptionist called up Bo Mi name.

“Bo Mi-ssi there is someone waiting for you”

“Waiting for me? Who? Repoter?”

“He say his name was Mr. Jeong Min.”

“Ahhh Jeong Min. But wait! Isn’t he.. Tao’s manager? What the hell he doing here? There must be Tao! I’m sure! Don’t ever dream I will easily forgive you Panda!”

“Unnie! You go see Jeong Min oppa in my place. I will hide here!” in a storm she quickly hide under the counter.

“Bo Mi ssi  what are you doing?”the receptionist become weird by her action. Confused at the same time.

“Ah! And you! Keep this a secret okey? Just act you didn’t see me here. They will notice if you keep trembling like this!”she point her finger to the worker, threatening her.

“I-i-I got it Bo Mi ssi”she obediently hear her command.

“Unnie! What are you waiting for? Go go now. Shush shush.”she chase her away like a cat that keep disturbing her.

“Bo Mi…you are really…like me to solve your own problem!”she managed to scold her first before make her way to Jeong Min.

“I don’t care unnie! As long as I don’t see his ugly face!”

Sometimes she will take a peek to see what kind of conversation that Se Kyung was having with Jeong Min. To her surprised she didn’t see Tao anywhere around there. But she keep precautions step. He might pop out of nowhere.

“What taking it too long unnie! Just say I don’t want to see him”.

After that, she saw Jeong Min hand Se Kyung a big, hairy brown bear to Se Kyung. Se Kyung received it and smile!

“What now? Is Jeong Min try to woo unnie? This can’t be happening!”

Bo Mi want to go there but if she go out from her hiding place, its over for her. OVER! Thereafter, Jeong Min make a leave.

“You can go out now Bo Mi”Se Kyung call her name while knocking the counter.

“Unnie! What taking you so long? My leg already numb hiding under this counter.”she crawl out from the counter and get up.

“Unnie! Don’t tell me that Jeong Min oppa tried to flirt you? No no I won’t let that happen!”she already imagine what will happen if she was left alone. She will be starving. No one will cook for her if Se Kyung get married.

“What are talking about Bo Mi? You are the one who asked me to see him!”

“Who know he just using my name but he actually want to meet you! What teddy bear? Obviously he like you unnie T.T”

“Just stop your nonsense Bo Mi. Tao asked him to give this to you!”

“For me? Really? If he want to ask my forgiveness, he should come and kneel in front of me. “

“He would like to give this by himself but…”

“But he was too busy and didn’t have time to give it? Did he think he the only one who busy here? Ahh it make me annoyed. Just keep it to yourself unnie. I don’t want it”

“Can’t you just let me finished my line!”Se Kyung hit her head a little hard.

“Unnie it hurt you know?! Why why? Are protecting him now?”

“I’m not protecting anyone here. Just shut up and hear me properly okey? “

“What is it that you so eagerly to tell me?!”

“Tao already went back to China this morning.”

“China? Why?” Bo Mi asked in curious.

“His father was admitted into hospital. He have to go back and take over his business for awhile. Jeong Min say he also don’t know when he will be back here. Tao didn’t give him an exact date. Even all of his schedule he have to cancel.”

“Really? He should tell me though”

“How can he tell you when you always ignored his call and message”

“You are right unnie” Bo Mi already make a sad expression.

“By the way, did you really going to give this teddy to me? It my pleasure to have it. Ahhh who know I got this from an idol”Se Kyung grin. Elated to get a gift from a top star.

“That’s mine unnie! Why are taking other people  property ?! Give that back!”

Bo Mi snatch it back and hugged the bear tightly. Worried that Se Kyung will take it away from her, she already left her there while carrying the huge teddy.

“Bo Mi Bo Mi. can’t you just be honest with yourself” Se Kyung only give a sigh watching her childish action.

“Unnie what are you doing there! Hurry up! I have lot of photo shoot to attend!”

“Yes yes I’m coming!”

Beijing Xiehe Hospital, China…

“Mother!”

“Ah you are here Tao?”

His mother give a hugged to him. She missed him very much. It’s been a long time since he last time in China.

“What about father? Is he alright now?”

“I’m perfectly fine here”he even walked inside the ward.

“You should have a rest dad.”

“How can I get a proper rest when nobody going to take over my place”he walked to his bed and lay down. Tao know that his father really put a high expectancy on him to continue his legacy.

“Stop it already honey. We couldn’t force him to do something that he doesn’t want to.”his mother tried to persuade his father.

“Hear me out Tao. It’s not that I was angry with you to be a singer, but I can’t see the company to go waste like that. “

“I know father but this isn’t the right time. Just give some more time to think about it”

“Think about it? I think you will only say yes when I already died.”

“Don’t be like that honey. You make him feel burden.”

Tao who was standing there just keep quiet. This is why he hate went back to China. His father will keep asking him to quit his career and inherit his legacy to be a businessman. Back when he was studying in university, his father make him to study business instead of arts and music. He said that as long as Tao got the highest score in every exam, he won’t mind if he want to be a singer. He thought now that his father already forgetting his promise toward him.

Then, he notice that his parent keep looking around like they were searching something.

“Mother father, what are you guys looking for?”

“Yah! Didn’t you bring her?”his father asked.

“Her? Whose her?”

“Who you ask? Did you already become this stupid?”he start to scold Tao.

“What your father saying was Bo Mi. Didn’t you bring her along here?”

“Ahh Bo Mi! I didn’t take her here with me. I was too rushed back then.”

“WHAT?! You stupid son! You didn’t even bring her here so what the use you coming back here?! At least I can look more closer my daughter-in-law-to-be!”

“Why did you angry with me now! I just come here because I was worried when mother say that you have heart attack again!”he shouted back to his father.

“This useless son. Honey get him out from here before my condition become more worse!”

To save the situation his mother quickly grab his hand to get out from the room before his father began to throw anything to him. Both of them went out from the room and went to the park just outside the hospital.

“Geez mom. Why father like that? he should be happy that I come to visit him here”

“You know well your father right? He always throwing tantrum when what he hoping for didn’t come true. To be truth I too disappointed when you didn’t bring her along”

“What? You too mom?”

“Of course I want to see her in person. This whole time your father and I can just see her in tv. She look very slim and slender. Even your father become her fan now.”his mother laughed when talked about her husband. Her husband never like celebrity that much, but because of Bo Mi, he even watch her drama in the internet.

“Father become her fan? That is weird. I thought father already banned the entertainment world.”Tao too laugh when his mother say like that.

“Is your relationship with her went smoothly?”

Tao silent. He didn’t know what to tell to his mother. He currently in big fight with her. He clenched his hand.

“Just come clean with me Tao. I know you well. When you keep quiet when I asked you, you must have a problem”

“I make a mistake toward her. I call off our date in last minute. She was angry with me now.”Tao say in low voice.

“Is that so? You should know Tao, that ladies heart was very fragile. Once you hurt her, it’s not easy to win over her back. When I was going out with your father, there is once he came up late. I wait for him for almost 3 hours. In the end, I sulk with him for a month! But he keep begging me for forgiveness. Because I was too love him, I just put aside my anger toward him and forgive him. ”she hold tightly both of Tao hand. But suddenly one crystal clear tear flow on her old cheek.

“Mom, why are you crying now? You look really terrible if you cry”Tao brush away her tear.

“You are already big now .I just hope she can take care of you in the future. I’m already too old now to look over you.”

“Don’t say like that mom! You are forever young in my eyes!”Tao give a hug to his beloved mother.

“You always make a joke Tao! I believe she will forgive you soon. If she really love you, she will.”

“You think so? Thanks mom. Here I give you a kiss”he kissed his mother cheek.

“In repay of your kiss, I give you this”

His mother handed him a small red box. He was shocked to see the content in the box.

“Mom, this is your wedding ring. I can’t have it!”he gave it back to his mother, but his mother didn’t accept it.

“Just keep it okey? Your father and I agreed to give this to you.”

“But I’m not getting married now mother”

“I know I know. When it’s about time, you can give it to her. I just hope she will wear it.”

“But Bo Mi..you know..it’s not that sure that she will marry me. Even until now we keep fighting.”

“Fighting between couple is normal son. That is the way they show their affection towards each other. Even your father and I who have been marry for almost 28 years, sometimes arguing about a very small matter. Give this ring to the person that you love for the whole of your heart. I just can keep praying that Bo Mi will be the one that was destiny to be with you.”

“Thank you, mom. You are the one that I love the most”

Again Tao hugged his mother. Tightly. She is the person whose always be with him,give him support in everything he do, and endlessly give him the mother’s love. His mother kiss his forehead and deep in her heart, she wished that his only son and the only child she have will find his happiness with the person he love.
