WooBin's POV

Dara and I were at my office reviewing my speech for our new luxury estate launching ceremony on Monday afternoon.  She looked pale and skinnier than ever and I felt really worried.

"How are you feeling?"  I asked.

Dara looked up at me and said with a smile, "I'm alright.  I'm sorry for the trouble I caused.  And thanks for the flowers and food.  You really shouldn't have to."

"Are you sure you are alright?  Coz if you need to take a few days off to rest, just do so."  I said.

She shook her head with a smile, "I'm fine.  I just came back from my sick leave.  I don't need to take anymore leave.  Not to mention the work already piled up on my desk."

"If you are worried about work, I can ask someone to take care of that for you.  You really look like you need the rest."

"But I really don't want to burden anyone with my tasks.  Seriously, I'm alright.  You don't have to worry about me."  She looked at me and gave me a big smile to reassure me that she was fine.

I nodded, "OK!  But you have to let me know if you don't feel well."

"Mmm..."

I went through my speech Dara prepared for me while she looked at the rundown and guest lists.

"By the way, how's Hill lately?  I haven't seen her since I got back to work.  How is she coping with her new job?"  Dara asked.

I shrugged, "She is surviving, I guess. No complaints from her or anyone so far.  So, I assume she's alright."

"Assume?  You two haven't seen each other lately as well?  How come?  You two are the closest brother and sister I have ever known." Dara asked with concern.

I let out a soft sigh and said, "She is probably still mad at me."

"Mad at you?  Hill?  No way!  I have never seen her really get mad at anyone.  She never let her anger live till the next morning.  What did you do?"

I let out another heavy sigh, "Long story."

"I have plenty of time."

I looked at her and hesitated.  I didn't know if I should tell Dara about EunHi and SeungHyun.  But on second thought, Dara was EunHi's best friend, she might be able to help out in this if necessary.

"Has EunHi told you about her hook-up?" I asked.

Dara looked me in the eyes with disbelief, "Mrs. Kim hooked her up with someone?  Again?"

I nodded.

"May I ask who that is?"

"Choi SeungHyun." I said.  I gazed at her and waited for her reaction to this.

She slightly drew her brows together and thought for a while, "Choi SeungHyun, huh?"

"You don't think they make a good couple?"

She shook her head and said with a serious tone, "I think they make a perfect couple.  That's why I am worried."

"Worry about what?"

She let out a slight sigh, "You know your sister.  She resists everything your mother wants for her.  She will not give in even if she likes SeungHyun."

"Exactly!  She is doing everything to avoid SeungHyun.  I arranged a dinner with the three of us and guess who she brought?"

"Who?  Don't tell me it's Kwon JiYong!"

I nodded my head.

"OMG!  I warned them both not to get close to each other." Dara drew her brows together and said.

"You did?"

She nodded, "Yes.  At the hospital.  I am going to kill JiYong.  I told him I would kill him if he touched Hill."  She held onto her fist as if she was ready to fight.  I couldn't help but laugh at her.

"What?  You are too gentleman to kick his axx, but I am no gentlewoman."  She bumped her fists together and said.

I laughed out loud.  Dara was always funny and cute.  That was why I liked her.

"So, you think Hill is mad at you because you arranged the dinner?" She asked.

I shrugged, "She didn't look too happy that night.  I was busy last week and didn't get to see her since the dinner."

Dara patted on my shoulder and said, "Don't worry!  I'm sure she is not mad at you.  Maybe she is busy getting used to her new job.  I'll call her."

"Thanks!"

Hilary's POV

JiYong called a few times yesterday but I didn't answer his calls.  I didn't know if I was mad at him or I was trying to avoid him.  I just didn't know what to say to him.

Pictures of SeungHyun and I at the gallery opening were all over the internet.  I didn't realize at the time the pictures were taken though.  My grandpa and mother must be very happy about this.  WooBin Oppa called and asked if SeungHyun and I started dating.  I assured him that it was merely social interaction and definitely not a date.

After all those meetings and visits, I could finally sit down at my desk and look at some of the past files and reports.  Everything seemed more complex than I thought.  I stared at the pile of files on my desk and couldn't help but let out a long and heavy sigh.

Someone knocked on my door.

"Come in!"

DaeSung came in first, followed by two junior staff with a huge wrapped frame-like package in their hands.

"What is that?" I asked as I walked over to the meeting area in my office.

DaeSung asked the juniors to sit it on the meeting table and said, "This just arrived for you.  Do you want us to unwrap it for you or you want to do it yourself?"

I slightly waved my hand to gesture them to unwrap it.  DaeSung reminded them to be extra careful and not to damage it.  The juniors carefully unwrapped the frame and I was stunned by what I saw.

"Kim Isa Nim, this is beautiful!  Where do you want to put it?  Behind your desk maybe?"  DaeSung asked.

I gasped and stared at the painting with my mouth opened, yet wasn't able to speak.

"Kim Isa Nim?"

I gasped and asked, "Any card comes with this?"

"Oh, yes!  Sorry about that.  Here it is!"  DaeSung handed me a pink envelope, "Where do you want to put it?"

I took the envelope and walked back to my desk, "Hang it up behind my desk please!"

"Yes, Kim Isa Nim."  DaeSung then said to the juniors, "Take that picture down and put this up!"

"Yes, Kang Biseo Nim!"

"Kim Isa Nim, I believe you have to move to the other side and let the guys hang the painting up."  DaeSung said.

I looked up at him and then at the guys, "Oh, yes."  I took out the card from the envelope as I walked over to the sofa.  I sat down and read the card.

Dear Hilary,

Inhale Love!
Close your eyes and breath in the love around you! 
Embrace love and Exhale love!

SeungHyun

I smiled at the card with SeungHyun's beautiful handwriting on it.  He bought me the painting.  A sister piece of his very own, 'Exhale Love'.  I looked up at the wall behind my desk.  The boys hung the painting on the wall and adjusted it to the right position.  I gazed at the painting and could somehow see the one that hung on the wall at SeungHyun's office.  I smiled again unconsciously.

"Great!  Thanks, boys!  You may leave now.  Take this one with you."  DaeSung said to the juniors.

I stepped back to my desk and looked up at the painting.  DaeSung asked, "May I ask who sent you this beautiful painting?  Is it the same person who sent you those Gerbera Daisies?  This person seems to know you very well!"

I threw him a quick stare and he zipped it up immediately.  He bowed his head and left my office.

I gazed at the painting and still couldn't believe my eyes.  I saw it at the gallery on Saturday and now it was in my office.  Inhale Love.  Sounded like the painting was sending me some kind of message; telling me to breath in the love around me.  I jerked my head and suddenly thought of something.  I grabbed my phone on my desk and took a picture of the painting on my wall, then sent it to SeungHyun with a short message.

Hill: [I put it up on the wall behind my desk!  What a surprise!  It really made my day.  Thank you so much!  Hill]

10 seconds later.  Text came in with a picture.

SH: [Glad you like it and it looks really  nice on your wall!  This is mine on the wall behind my desk!]

I looked up at the painting on my wall and then the picture SeungHyun sent me.  I couldn't help but smile at the similarity.

Hill: [And it looks really nice on your wall too!  Lucky that we don't work together.  Otherwise, we may go into the wrong office.]

SH: [haha...  You are welcome to come anytime to visit my painting
