Chaerin lay quietly, staring at the face of Lee Seunghyun. About 5 or more s after, they both lay satiated and fell asleep. She woke up from a nightmare, gasping for air, her heart close to fibrillating, scared that she would wake up alone. However, the guy lying beside her, calmed her and she lay back down.

God, she missed him so much! 

"What are you staring at?" Seungri suddenly spoke with his eyes closed.

"O…" Chaerin was taken aback, completely caught.

His lips broke into that all too familiar silly smile and Chaerin couldn't help but smile back.

"I'm not going to disappear." He opened his eyes and his hands caressed her face, wiping away a tear that chanced to escape her eye. "But if you don't stop staring, I'll probably melt." Chaerin held his hand and kissed his palm.

"I'm sorry." Chaerin whispered and Seungri moved closer to her and kissed her forehead.

"I'm sorry, Chae…its me who should be sorry. If you'll have me again…" Chaerin hugged him and didn't let him finish.

At those words, she couldn't stop herself and cried…for her, for him and for the baby she lost.

"I'm here to stay, Seungri."

"Then maybe we can make more babies?" Seungri playfully asked while smoothing her hair back. Chaerin smiled and bit her lip.

"As many as you'd like."

6:30am Kwon Household.

Lena slept soundly, nestled against her father's side. Hayi woke up and raised off the bed, rubbing her eyes. "Oma…" She called out but her mother was still asleep. 

Dara's face looked so peaceful and she had no idea of her current position right now. Last night, she stayed on Hayi's side of the bed, however this morning, the poor girl woke up on the edge. Jiyong's arms were around her with Lena on his other side. Hayi, being the youngest, plus the fact that Jiyong raised her and so she has acquired the adorable childish ways of her dad, crawled on top of her mom who woke up upon feeling the weight on top of her.

"Baby?" She asked and Hayi settled herself on top of Dara's chest and closed her eyes. Dara turned to her other side, and though she wanted to move further, Hayi's weight prevented her from doing so. She was met by the peaceful face of her ex-husband in slumber, so close to her. He moved and Dara kept still. She was in a very compromising position and that part of her husband that was poking her leg didn't add to the little comfort she was having. 

"Why are you awake?" Jiyong suddenly asked and pulled Dara closer to him, noticing that Hayi was on top of her. Jiyong chuckled and turned to his other daughter who lay her arm over his torso. He smiled and turned back to Dara then kissed her head, pulling her closer. "Sleep some more. They are cuddlers like their dad." Dara wanted to say some smart retort but Jiyong's eyes were already closed. She decided to follow suit and go back to sleep.

While the males start to prepare the barbecue and the girls were making salad and setting the table, Top and Dara were in the living room, in deep discussion.

"John said he's planning a new one and he's interested in getting us to produce it." Top informed her. "See these, Dee?" He spreads the portfolios of the directors and the producers he was acquainted with. "They are interested in us. We can make this work here."

"Tabi, this is too much! I mean, I'll have to do a lot in a short span of time!"

"I know, but, I was thinking, we can sell everything then buy new equipment we could use here."

"That's still a lot!" Dara was hesitant. "Tabi, if we sell everything…" Top got a folder and handed it to her. Dara looked at him, skeptic. "You have planned this out, haven't you?"

"Ne, I did, carefully." He grinned at her. "I asked for a financial summary from the banks a few days ago and they e-mailed it to me last night. Our accountants are also working on the total of our shares. Our lawyers are just waiting for your go signal."

"When did you have time to do all this?" Dara asked him as she looked over all her assets in the US. 

"I couldn't sleep a wink when I found out Bom was alive and I kept on thinking about what I wanted to do now. I can't leave her again, Dara. And she doesn't want you to be away from us or your daughter and Jiyong. I know it is hard to start over again but, don't you want to be closer to your daughter who lives here in Korea?"

"Of course, I'd want that."

"Then what's holding you back? I already did half the work for you. If its Jiyong…"

"Its not that." She interrupted immediately. "I'd want to be closer to Hayi too and lets say Lena agrees to move here as well but Tabi, this is a lot of work! I said I'll only be gone for a while, few days at most. This will take me a month, meeting with share holders, getting back our stocks which is a very very impressive amount now. I mean, wow! I can see what you meant by buying new equipment and starting our business here!"

"It will be awesome, Dara. We will still be partners and we can stay under the radar, especially that Bom is here. We both like the peace and quiet away from the cameras."

"So you'll continue using me as your frontman?" Dara grinned at him and he was already feeling hopeful. Top smiled and nodded. Dara could see that he was right. They can start over back here in Korea. She will have to talk it over with Lena first, of course. It will be a big move for her who grew up in the US. Hayi will also be close to her. It will be very convenient for the twins, even if she and Jiyong aren't back together.

"I can call our lawyers and let them start asking for buyers. When you get there, you will only be meeting with them and transferring our accounts to the bank here then you'd be good to go! The California office already has a lot of sharks on it." Top held her forearm. "What do you think? Don't you want to stay close to home?"

Dara heard the twins' laughter from outside and she saw Jiyong playing with them. She smiled then looked at Top.

"All right, alert the lawyers that they can start looking for buyers. I'll meet with them in a week's time then the highest bidder will get the company, of course."

"Done!" Top said then stood up and pulled Dara up and gave her a hug. "I'm glad you're considering this!"

"We're not considering it, we're doing it." Dara told him.

"Jiyong will be very happy."

"Don't tell him yet." Top looked at her. "Just don't." Then they hear a cough by the opened glass doors to the balcony where they were having lunch. Dara and Top turned to find Hayi and Jiyong having the same irritated look on their faces upon seeing Dara and Top embrace each other. Hayi crossed her arms over her chest and so did Jiyong. Top laughed.

"Go or they'll both kill me. I am more scared of Hayi than Jiyong, honestly." Top whispered to her. "I'll fix all these files and leave them on the table. Don't forget to pack them later."

"Thanks Tabi!" Dara smiled at him and went to pacify her daughter only. Her ex-husband could take care of himself.

As the Kwon family, along with their friends ate their sumptuous lunch, they couldn't help but reminisce the old times. The all too happy group didn't ignore the fact that Seungri was almost back to his old maknae self and that he's been touching and caring for Chaerin again. Though no one spoke about it, they were happy that he's gone back to his senses.

"I mean, what was that? We like each other "musically"?" Everyone laughed at Seungri who was making fun of Youngbae and Yuri. Youngbae has revealed once that he had dinner with Yuri but they didn't hit it off romantically.

"Hold up, Mr. Sadist!" Yuri spoke and Seungri's eyes widened, the whole table was quiet suddenly remembering Seungri's scandal. "I think its lamer to turn down a girl…" She then turned to Daesung. "through a text message!" And everyone laughed as Daesung turned to Minzy, worried, but she was also laughing.

"That was really lame, Daesung oppa!" Minzy told him and he could only look down. "And she was really pretty too! She's the maknae of Kara!"

"Believe it or not, Mingki-ya, there was a time that Daesung-hyung didn't like maknaes so much." Seungri added.

"Yah!" Jiyong stopped the playful banter knowing that there was a time that Daesung and Seungri didn't really get along too well. "Yah, we're in front of grace. Stop reminiscing. We're all just about to start over, right? How about we talk of…" His eyes went to Top and Bom. The couple had Lena between them, spoiling her with food like she was their child. "Top-hyung!"

"What?" He glanced at Jiyong then back at Lena.

"Are you going to stay here now with Bom-noona?"

"Naturally. A man should stay beside his woman, ne?" Top raised a brow at Jiyong. Dara suddenly looked at Top.

"Oh, I thought you had some business with Dara. Aren't you going to help her over in the US?"

"Should I, Dee?" Jiyong's hands fisted over his knife as Top used a name that Jiyong often called Dara. He was the only one who called her Dee! She was always Darong, Dara, Dara-noona to the others.

"I don't need a man to take care of me, thank you." Dara interrupted them both. The table then became quiet.

Bom turned to Lena when the girl touched her curls. "Your hair is pretty." Lena told Bom who smiled and thanked her. "Aunt Bommie? Do you love Uncle Tabi?

Bom gave her an eye smile and she nodded.

"Really? Wow! Do you want to marry him?" All the adults on the table looked at Lena at her sudden question. 

"Yah! Hyung!" Seungri called over. "Don't use the little girl to propose, would you!" Everyone laughed. Bom leaned closer to Lena and whispered her answer to the girl who nodded at her and made a gesture that meant her lips were seal
