Nari: "I'll come back early with you. I also do not like to leave you, only wish that we can go together. But we have a particular job. I need to arrange the work in USA’s branch. When i come back, i ‘ll compensate you, Do Do ".

Young Do kissed her lips, hugging her in the heart. He wanted to remember the scent and warmth of her body, her silky hair in his arms. Looking ahead, she will come to USA and he has to leave her about 5 days. With him, it really is a terrible thing. She was only with him for almost a month but the time that we couldn’t meet each other is a half because of work. Never that he wished that he’ll leave all things in life to be with her every day, walking together along Han River, go to the familiar restaurant to eat Ramen that he likes or Foie gras she likes ​​and hear her sing, until the night he would hug her to sleep, as the days pass.

"Now i have to come in plane, not later." - Nari smiled, pushing him, kissed his cheek and walked away.

Young Do watched her from behind. Only 5 days, i will be fast and he will be with her ​​again, Young Do tell to himself.

...........

Nari is tired after the long flight and the meeting thereafter. The difference in time zones makes her awake all day to solve the massive workload. When everything is okay, she returned to luxury apartments in New York to rest, at that time also was midnight. Her eyes seemed to dark circles, Nari lying down on the bed. She was really exhausted and just wanted to not have any trouble todisturb her sleep. But seemed to remember something, she jumped up, grabbed the phone. Wait, wait ... but the other line isn’t hear, Nari had leave a message: "Do Do, I'm sorry for not being able to talk to you as promised. Work is busy, and now i can be back home. Currently in USA nearly 11 p.m. Tomorrow I'll contact you later. I miss you.”

...Close your eyes, Nari gradually fell asleep and she will meet him in a dream.......

The sound of dishes, subtle aroma of food flying from out of the kitchen, Nari lazily wakes up . She wondered what was happening, who is in her house? Nari ‘s sleepy, go to where have a noise.

"Well, is you, Jong Suk? But how did you get in here? - Nari surprised to see Jong Suk comfortable cooking and enjoy breakfast in her apartment. In fact it is normal, what she was surprised is why he had been in the US at this time.

Jong Suk still calmly as if nothing had happened, he said: "You did not change the password of the apartment. Sit down, eat breakfast with me. I prepared it for you.”

"Haiz, You come soon. I wash my face"- She sighed and went to the bathroom .......

A moment later, Nari became more fresh faces, she sat down to the table opposite him, and eats breakfast that he had prepare. She asked Jong Suk: "Why do you come USA? Have something work? Why not go to your home that you come to my home?”

Jong Suk: " Like. I want to meet you. Now in Korea, I had no any chance to talk privately with you."

Nari: “You always make things that have to right with you. Why do you want to talk privately to me that you have to go there.”

Jong Suk: “Your mood is very happy, so you say to joke me. But i’m not”.

Nari: "If the mood was not happy why you go there t find me?”

"You and Young Do, two people back together, right? "- Jong Suk let chopsticks on the table, his eyes looked angry.

Nari:" Why do you know? ..... Oh, I forgot, things like that so i can know. Yeah, this affect you?”

“You were mad, Shin Nari "- He angrily threw glass in his hand flung to the ground.

Nari frowned, she stood up, left the table: "If you find me because of this, you leave. I said clearly to you, I do love Young Do. Don’t care about me”.

Jong Suk immediately rushed towards her, holding her wrist tightly, though she tried to protest how he still refused to let go:" You were stupid. You believe that he love you too, think that you're happy? When have you ever wondered if how his girlfriend is? Did you know that you and bastard guy together and she’s still ok? Or is it because she did not know, Young Do not ever tell her about you.”

Hearing Jong Suk said, Nari hesitation, she was confused to find to respond because she wanted to believe him, believe in their love: "You, ... you do not say miscellaneous. I believe Young Do”.

Jong Suk:" Really? You believe really? Do not deceive yourself. How long have you known him? Only a term in highshcool, and you’re sure as you understand him. When you are USA, he was in Korea happily with his fame girlfriend .”

"Go away. I never believe what you say "- Nari angry resist an attempt to escape from his arms - " Let me out, Jong Suk. You're hurting me” ...

Suddenly, Jong Suk used his strength, he kissed her, she struggled to refused, despite her disgusting eyes looking at him, or the pain and the blood oozing out of his mouth, injuries causing her. He spite of all just to get her. Jong Suk let her out when there is also a slap of her for him. Nari’s hand wiped , she wanted to wipe away the traces of an unwanted kiss, she shouted: "Jong Suk, you dare. Stop, I'm tired cause of you. I don’t love you, let me go.”

"Please think again. In this world, no one understands you, nobody loves you as much as me. Forget him , he does not love you. Only me. We had a couple, don’t do that, Nari "- Jong Suk looked at her with eyes full of love, love more than 20 years, the love follow him since childhood ......

Nari: "I'm sorry, I just want us to be frined. I would consider as not hear what you said about Young Do. Do not repeat it to me. I love Young Do, and believed him. You go”.

"Love? "- Jong Suk laugh - " Then one day you will understand what is called your love for bastard guy is is how. I will never let you and him be together.”

Jong Suk quickly left the apartment, he slammed the door angrily. His laughter still echoes as penetrating into Nari. She stiffened, fear, feeling anxious about what Jong Suk said about Young Do is engulfed her. Nari falls down, she burst into tears, tears of weakness hide inside her strong look ....... A dark day in USA ......

Part 19.4: Happiness or pain

Like the day before to USA, tonight he will go to the airport to welcome her to the side of his, 5 days have passed quickly. Nari’s eyes searching among the vast space, and smiled when she saw him waiting for her with a bouquet of fresh roses. She ran toward him, he hugged her, kissed the lips of longing desire to remember.

Nari: "I miss you so much, Do Do".

Young Do: "Me too. How about your work?”

Nari: "Well done. I bought gifts for you.”

Young Do: " Thank you. I ordered a table in B28 Seoul, we can enjoy a few glasses of whiskey that you like and give me your gift. Now we quickly to the party of baby .. Everybody is waiting for us there.”

"Oh, see you that i almost forget it "- Nari immediately turned to speak to the secretary of her - "Song unnie, can you help me bring myluggage to home? Thank you.”

Young Do smiling affectionately, rubbed her head, he opened the car door for her to step up. The Bugatti Veyron is expensive start and dashed away ....

............

This is the second time, Nari visited villa of two owners of corporations Jeguk, Kim Won - Kim Tan. Their assets has enough to buy a separate apartment for each one, personal property, but because of two lady of them want to live together, so two brothers still live together in the home. Nari’s fun with Young Do entered in suprise of everyone. She and him to the crib where the baby is lying, enjoy watching the lovely radiance of baby, send greetings and small gifts for the baby.

The intimacy between them, affectionate gesture that made everyone surprise. Chan Young curious to ask: "Oh, what's going on here? Two people ...?”

Kim Tan continued: " ........ Go back together ever since?”

But Young Do not answer, he evasive to answer: "Where is Bo Na? I do not see her anywhere.”

Chan Young:" Bo Na went to work in Thailand, a few days she’ll come back. You answered questions of us. You make us be so curious.”

Young Do hesitated, he does not understand why a simple question to answer, but he obviously can not speak the words. Kim Won surprised asked: "What are you talking about? Why you told that Young Do and Nari are back together?”

Eun Sang meddle explains:" Nari and Young Do When in Jeguk highschool, they like each other, they are the most beautiful couple. Have reason that they had to leave.”

"What, you and i is the most beautiful couple "- Kim Tan teases his wife.

Eun Sang immediately turned to lovely glare Kim Tan, she said:" Anyway, it was fun because two you were back together. Young Do well, you remembered treat well with Nari.”

Hyun Joo smile, she pretends to know nothing:" Yeah, two you very nice couple”.

Before the greetings of friends, Nari nothing can describe the happiness in her heart, but one thing she wondered why he had to pretend to smile and no happy expression. The recognition of love of her and him is a problem to made ​​him uncomfortable. At this time, Ji Ah spoke, she frowned: "Hey, Since when two you have came back together? Why I do not know? You also did not say anything to me, Nari? Young Do, are you seriously?”

Nari: "It is only about a month. Of course we’re very seriously.”

"I did not ask you that question, because I know your love "- Ji Ah still scowling attitude, she continued questioning -" You know what I want to say.”

"And Yoo Ri? "- With carefree personality, said without thinking, Myung Soo asked him - "You broke up with Yoo Ri?”

Ji Ah: " Not yet? Because Yoo Ri still did not know anything. She was mentioned about him.”

The room was silent, Nari numbly see at him, he still silence and not an explanation for her. Eun Sang shows the situation is increasingly tense, she smiled wryly and said, "Okay, that story for another day later. Now we are organizing a party for baby. Do not take air to become not pleasure, right?”

Eun Sang say right, people immediately focus on the party, send beautiful greetings for baby. But the words of Ji Ah made Young Do not comfortable, he feel guilty and want to talk to Nari, he permission to leave early. Hold her hand out to the gate, he tried to explain but the little finger of her put on his lips as intends to stop what he is about to say. Nari said: "You do not need to explain. I believe that you have reason so you didn’t talk with Yoo Ri. We'll let her know later. Now I do not want to broke the romantic atmosphere. To the restaurant that you booked and drink whiskey. Hurry.”

....................

Her smile, his smile brightened as the corner of street. She happily joking when he stepped out of B28 Seoul. He gave her a romantic evening and happy. Nari take his hand, going backwards: "Now where should we go?"

Young Do: "I’ll take you back your home, then I come to my home."

"Aaaaaa, do not like, do not like" - Nari shook her head - "I do not want to leave you. Go home with me."

Young Do sinister smile : "You want to charm me?"

"Please. You promised to hold me to sleep every night. And I gave you a gift you, you must respond to me" - Nari begged. She touched on the forceps on his tie. It is expensive gift that she has bought, a forceps cavat be engraved in gold, studded glittering jewel, making his outfit more luxurious, elegant.

Young Do: "Okay. But you have to sing for me."

Nari happily hugged his neck and kissed on his cheek: "Everything you want, Do Do".

She smiled at him. But suddenly, he did not smile, do not even say, a strange expression, he removed her hand, eyes forward.

"What’s happen?" - Nari asked bewildered, turn behind her back, making her be shock. Yoo Ri, stepped out from a nearby restaurant , she is suprise to see them and walked towards him. The painful betrayal, deception, Yoo Ri anger said: "Young Do, You ... why do you hide me that you and her be back togethe. How many times I forgive your womanizing habits and how had you promised? "

Nari chuckle because she thought her victory was achieved: "Sorry for not telling you sooner."

Yoo Ri shouted: "Shut up. You’re a devil. Turns out you pretended to reach out and snatch my lover."

"Yoo Ri, I....." - Young Do lunged inside Yoo Ri, he stammered trying to think of a reasonable excuse.

"I hate you, Young Do" - Yoo Ri cried and ran, quickly ran away from the lies.

Young Do was confused,  immediately he did not thinking  to pursue Yoo Ri but Nari faster, her hands holding him back: "Don’t concern about her.. Sooner or later she must also know and suffering. If you do that, it make her have misconception. We go home."

"You don’t understand. Leave me out" - Young Do scream, he pulls to let go of her hand.

Nari frowned: "What do you mean? Do not tell me that's not a pity that you like her, worried about her." Young Do silence, he does not know how to answer her, his feelings in the chaos.

"Do not go,Young Do, do not do this to me, not to her" - sad eyes, she begged.

"I'm sorry. I can not be not worry about Yoo Ri" - And Young Do, he chased Yoo Ri, leaving other girl, who love him ..... Looking his shadow, Nari fall. She smiled painfully, tears for her love for him again dropped. Wondering that he would be her, think that her later life will only smiles, peace and happiness. But no, really ...... nightmare has be back.
