My brother in a suit, was surrounded by a crowd of people in the center of the party hall. Everyone congratulated my brother for the new business opportunity located overseas.

Guest A: Yunho, you came a long way! You'll do a great job following your father's footsteps.

Guest B: Hired by the New York branch straight out of university. The future of Jung Corp is very promising!

Yunho: Haha, let's not get ahead of ourselves.

Changmin: You don't have the time to be saying naive things, Yunho. Don't forget that you're going to be taking over the Jung Corp.

Yunho: Oh gosh.. It's not like you have the intention to hand over the position any time soon.

Changmin: I'm just telling you to be prepared.

Yunho: Couldn't you see me off more cheerfully?

  The people in the circle around him started laughing again. I was away from the center of that fun hall and was drinking orange juice in a corner. Big brother today is different from usual. He's kind of cool..

Someone: Jaejoong,. Why are you hiding in a corner?

Jaejoong: Ah, Mother..  

Mrs. Jung: Why don't you speak with Yunho? You know.. you are also a fully-fledged member of the Jung Family.

Jaejoong: Yeah..

  Mother said that, but it wasn't so simple. Having entered the Jung family as a child from my mother's previous marriage, I always ended up holding back at times like this.

Jaejoong: I'll do that when there are less people.

Mrs. Jung: Oh, all right then.. But that boy's really grown up into a fine man.

Jaejoong: You think?

Mrs. Jung: When I first met him, he was just a timid little thing. That boy will definitely succeed.

Jaejoong..

  My mother was always like this. After separating from my actual father, she had been with countless men. However, all of them had been rich. The value of men came from whether they could make money. She was always looking at men & only deciding on their value to her based on that.

Mrs. Jung: You need to catch a man as good as that too.

  I'm not like my mother.. At that time, I heard a noticeably high pit5ched laugh from the center of the hall.

Guest C: Yoona, you'll be spreading your wings in the world together with Yunho then. That's wonderful.

Yoona: No, not at all. I'll just be there supporting Yunho.

  That was Yoona, my brother's fiancee. She was a model, and she was behaving graciously in clothes that were flashy enough to make it seem like the party was being thrown for her.

Mrs. Jung: Well, look at that. Unlike you, Yoona seems to understand how to act in high society rather well.

Jaejoong: ... I'm going to take a breather outside.

  I didn't like the atmosphere inside the party hall, so I went outside. The fickle laughter didn't follow me outside. There was a gentle wind blowing, and it felt wonderful. Ha.. As I thought, I'm really not suited for this sort of world.. Everyone always seemed to expect something from my brother, and they looked at him with smiles. But when they looked at me, their smiles were somehow strained. It's not like I wanted to be a child from a previous marriage..

Someone: Oh, so you were here.

Jaejoong: Eh?

  I turned around when I was called out to, and saw Junsu approaching me with a red face. He was the president of a company that did business with the Jung Corp, so I had talked with him a few times before.

Jaejoong: Ah.. Good evening.

Junsu: Why are you here all by yourself? As expected, being inside there must be tough for a child from a previous marriage.

Jaejoong: ...

  Junsu was acting different from usual. He wasn't the sort of person who would say something like that, and he was a bit over-familiar..

Junsu: You're so much ier now. As expected blood will tell.

Jaejoong: ... Please excuse me.

Junsu: Well, it's nothing to be so unkind about. I've got something very good to say to you.

Jaejoong: Something very good, is it?

Junsu: Yes.. I'm thinking of giving you this much every month.

  While he said that, Junsu raised one finger.

Jaejoong: What do you mean?

Junsu: If you're going into university too, you'll want to play like everyone else and be stylish, right? But Mr. Jung is a strict man. He won't give you money for something like that.

Jaejoong: ...

Junsu: So then. I'll be your Daddy-Long-Legs. What do you think?

  It might have been because he was drunk, but Junsu said that with a very lewd gaze. Even I understood what he meant by "Daddy-Long-Legs".

Jaejoong: I'm fine. I have no interest in that sort of thing.

  I tried to leave, but Junsu tightly gripped my hand.
