“Noona.”

Sulli turns to Kyungsoo and smiles brightly.

“Morning chagiya. Did you have a good sleep?”

Kyungsoo nods and look into the pot.

“Did you wake up early noona? This soup always need to be boil long.”

Sulli nods.

“I can’t sleep. So, I decided to make some healthy soup.”

Kyungsoo smiles and nods.

“Do you want any help noona?”

“Kenchana. I’m almost done. Go and sit down first.”

“Ani. I want to accompany you here.”

Sulli smiles.

“Arasseo.”

“Noona, did someone came last night?”

Sulli glance at Kyungsoo.

“Waeyo?”

“I think I heard conversations downstairs.”

Sulli smiles.

“Did you stay up late?”

“Aniyo. I want to use the bathroom when I heard you talking to someone. Did Taemin hyung came?”

Sulli shakes her head.

“It’s nothing Kyungsoo ah. Do you want milk or juice?”

“I’ll get it myself noona.”

“Okay. I’ll wake the twins up neh.”

Sulli ruffles his hair and walks to the twins’ room. Kyungsoo stares at his sister with wonder.

“If it is not Taemin hyung, is it Minho hyung?”

“How are you Hannah?”

“Good, but I’m so bored honey. Can’t we go out for a while?”

Jinki laughs and holds Hannah’s hand.

“But you are supposed to be in Japan.”

“Ah, I forgot.”

She pouts.

Jinki pecks on her lips and caresses her cheek.

“The vomiting had reduces right? Your legs also didn’t swell anymore.”

“Deh. I’ll marry you right away when I am fully recovered.”

Hannah said happily.

“What about your appa?”

“We’ll marry in a registration office Jinki ah. We prepared everything and let Minho be our witness.”

“We need more.”

“Ask your baby brother. He will agree right?”

“Deh. But aren’t we supposed to talk to your appa first?”

Hannah nods.

“But will he agree? I don’t want to marry Minho.”

She pouts again.

“I’ll get to replace the chief in three months. We can see your appa after that. Maybe he will accept me at that time since I earn more.”

Hannah sighs and put her palm on Jinki’s cheek.

“Sorry chagiya.”

“Don’t feel sorry. I love you, not your wealth. I can support you and all your need even if you come to me with nothing. But still I need to see you parents. They need to know how much I love their daughter."

Hannah sighs again.

“If only appa knew how much you struggles to let me live. If only appa knew about my disease.”

“Hannah ya, it’s not your appa’s fault that you got this disease. It’s your fault remember.”

“Deh. I take a wrong decision on lessen my frustration in alcohol.”

“Cheer up neh. I’ll always stay by you.”

Hannah smiles and nods.

“I must do something good in my past life to be loved by a wonderful person like you.”

Jinki smiles.

“I love you. Take a rest. The staff nurse will get you your medicine neh.”

Hannah nods again.

Jinki kisses her forehead and walks out of her ward.

“Hyo Joo.”

The younger lady put down her pen, straighten her back and stares at Mrs. Choi who was standing on her door. She smiles.

“Welcome Madam Choi. What a surprise.”

Mrs. Choi walks to her.

“You met Minho?”

Hyo Joo smirks.

“Why can’t I meet him? IS there a restriction for me to meet him? I’m Choi family’s lawyer.”

She answers with a smile.

“Do you want any money? How much do you want?”

Hyo Joo laughs.

“Whose money will you give me Madam Choi? Minho’s?”

“It’s my money Hyo Joo.”

Hyo Joo chuckles.

“You say that to me?”

Mrs. Choi curls her fist.

“Hyo Joo, don’t busying yourself in my family affair.”

“Is that a threat? Do I have to be scared?”

She laughs.

“Sit down Madam. We should talk about this calmly.”

“I don’t come all the way here to sit down and have a coffee with you Hyo Joo.”

Hyo Joo chuckles again and presses the intercom.

“Kate, bring two cup of tea for me please.”

Mrs. Choi still wears her grumpy face. She still stood there unmoved.

“Sit down if you want me to consider your need.”

Mrs. Choi sit down and look at her. Hyo Joo still smiling while staring at Mrs. Choi.

“How is Minho? Is he fine?”

Mrs. Choi nods.

“Can you not ask anything about Minho?”

She smiles.

“Why?”

Mrs. Choi doesn’t answers.

Hyo Joo's assistant come in with two cups of tea and put it in front of them.

“Thanks Kate. I’ll be a bit busy so please hold my calls neh.”

“Deh.”

She answers shortly and bows before she left the room and closes the door.

“So, what is your purpose here Madam?”

“What did you tell Minho?”

“Are you that curious?”

She answers while sipping her tea.

“Drink it Madam. It’s good for your health.”

“Don’t change the subject Hyo Joo. What did you tell him?”

Hyo Joo smiles and sits comfortably.

“I met him unintentionally last Wednesday. He had grown up handsome like his dad.”

She chuckles.

“I ask him how is he doing; what did he do. Has he adapted to the weather in Korea and something like that.”

“Stop it Hyo Joo. Get to the point. How did he know about the company?”

“It’s not a secret. He should have known it when he is 21.”

“It’s up to me to tell it to him. Why do you bother telling him?”

Mrs. Choi flared up.

“Calm down Madam. Do you really want me to say it myself; why did I tell him?”

Mrs. Choi fists her hand and stared at Hyo Joo angrily.

“Are you blackmailing me Hyo Joo?”

“It’s up to you Madam Choi. I didn’t break any of my promises. It is true that late President Choi named the company under Minho.”

“Why did he say that he is curious about me if you just talk about the company?”

Hyo Joo shrugs her shoulders.

“Maybe because I laugh about you arranged a marriage for him?”

“You knew about it?”

Hyo Joo laughs.

“I know everything Madam. I’m the family lawyer.”

“Stop getting on my nerves Hyo Joo. Stop.”

“Alright if you stop arranging a marriage for him. Can’t you let him choose something himself? He’s been kept under your ridiculous care since he is a kid.”

“I’m protecting him.”

“If you say so Madam.”

She smiles.

Mrs. Choi stands up and points a finger at Hyo Joo.

“You better keep your mouth shut Hyo Joo.”

“I’ll do it if you stop controlling Minho.”

Mrs. Choi breathes out roughly before she grabs her handbag and walks out of Hyo Joo’s room angrily.

Hyo Joo laughs.

“Wait a little bit more Madam. You will be destroyed.”

She smirks at the closed door.
