At that time, I believed I have made the right choice.  A choice that would be good for everyone.

Now, I was not so sure anymore.....

*  *  *

I held it in my hand tightly, again.  I thought of throwing it away but I just couldn't do it.

I still kept it well till now......

*  *  *

I kept them well and waited for the right time.  The right time to implement what I have planned.

I believed the time has finally come......

Minzy's POV

JiYong Oppa told me about everything.  I was stunned by what I heard and couldn't react to it after a long while.  I have never imagined the story would go this way.

"Minzy!" SeungRi waved his hand in the air as he ran towards us.  He had sweat all over his face.

I grabbed a few tissues and handed them to him, "What happened to you?  Why are you sweating like this?"

He took the tissues with one hand and grabbed my glass of water with the other as he sat down on the chair opposite to us.  He gulped down the whole glass of water with a few seconds.  He panted heavily as he wiped off the sweat on his forehead, "You don't know how difficult for me to sneak out.  CL kept asking me where I am going.  She will kill me if she knows what we are doing.  My life is on the line because of this, you know?"

DaeSung Oppa and I looked at each other and couldn't help but burst out laughing.  SeungRi frowned and said, "Guys, be a little sympathetic, will you?  You know how scary CL can be."

I laughed even harder since I never imagined SeungRi would be conquered by a woman, and that woman was CL.  DaeSung Oppa pulled my shirt a little to signal me to stop laughing, but I just couldn't, "I'm sorry.  But I mean, you being scared of a woman besides your mother?  It still can't believe it."

"Minzy Park!" SeungRi stared at me.  I clenched my lips to keep myself from laughing.  DaeSung Oppa patted me on the head and smiled.

"So, why are we here today?" SeungRi leaned back on the chair as he asked.

I put away my smile and said with a serious tone, "It's time."

SeungRi raised his eyebrow at me and glanced at DaeSung, "Are you sure?"

I nodded, "We think it's time.  After all, why wait any longer?"

"What do I have to do?" SeungRi asked.

"A package will be sent to you in these few days.  Just find a chance to leave it somewhere, so that SeungHyun Oppa can find it." I said.

SeungRi looked at me with puzzled eyes, "Package?  What is it?"

"You'll know!" I smirked.

SeungHyun's POV

I wanted so much to call Hilary after the accident to check if she really didn't injure herself; but I somehow dared not to do so since I was worried that I would stir up anymore trouble for her.  I have never seen WooBin Hyeong looked that serious at Hilary before, as if he was angry at her.  His piercing eyes were like lasers.  I really didn't want Hilary to suffer on my account.  I somehow regretted to have dragged her to lunch that day.

The man sent me the medical and car repairment bills a couple days after the accident.  It was not much.  I paid him back and everything was settled.  Instead of calling Hilary, I called DaeSung at the end and I was relieved to learn that Hilary was fine and she didn't get any injuries at all.

I tried to live my life as usual ever since Hilary's return.  However, it was not as easy as I wanted it to be.  My head was once again filled with her which made me not able to concentrate on work or anything I had to do.

"Jonmu Nim, Miss Jenny Park is on the phone for you.  Should I put her through?" Jang Biseo said via the intercom.

I hesitated a second and said, "Tell her I am in a meeting."

"Yes, Jonmu Nim."

I flipped open the file and wanted to go through the proposal.  The intercom rang again.

"What is it?" I asked.

"Jonmu Nim, Miss Jenny Park said she will come by the office in an hour." Jang Biseo said.

"What?  She is coming over?"

"Yes, Jonmu Nim."

I let out a heavy sigh and said, "Get my car ready.  I'm going out."

"Huh?"

"Just tell her I have an urgent meeting with someone.  Tell her I'm sorry, then send her away."

"Yes, Jonmu Nim."

I grabbed my jacket and the file, then walked out of my office.

"Hyeong, where are you going?" SeungRi had two cups of coffee in his hands and looked at me in surprise.

I glanced at him and said, "I'm going out.  What do you want?"

"Nothing.  I just thought we could have coffee." He raised the cups in his hands as he said.

I patted him on the shoulder and said, "Maybe next time, brother!"  I left before he could say anything.

*  *  *

SeungRi's POV

I didn't really come to have coffee with my brother.  I just wanted to check his schedule or maybe try to send him away for a short while so that I could complete the task I was assigned.  I put down the coffee cups on Jang Biseo's desk and called my assistant.  A few minutes later, he came with the package Minzy sent me.

"Bring it inside.  Jang Biseo, make sure no one comes into the room.  If Hyeong comes back, keep him away." I gave her a wink and went into Hyeong's office with my assistant.

"You may leave now." I sent my assistant away after he placed the package on the coffee table.

I myself was really curious of what the package was.  Minzy has been all mysterious and just wouldn't tell me what it was.  I carefully unwrapped the package and revealed what was under the wrapping paper.

A painting.

A portrait.

Of my brother.

I was stunned by the likeness of my brother in the portrait.  It captured the personality and mood of him very well which made the portrait so lively.  That handsome smile on Hyeong's face was something I haven't seen for quite a while.

I called Minzy immediately.  I sat down on the sofa and stared at the portrait.

"Have you got the package yet?" Minzy asked.

"Hilary painted it?" I asked.

"You opened it?" Minzy yelled at the other end.

I pulled the phone away a little and slightly raised my voice back at her, "Yeah.  I opened it since you won't tell me what it is."

"Be careful with it.  Wrap it back up!" Minzy ordered.

I rolled my eyes and said, "I will.  Did Hilary paint this herself?"

"Hmm...  She painted that in Paris.  JiYong Oppa found someone to do some touch-up earlier."

I let out a sigh, "She really loves my brother, huh?"

"You feel that too?"

I sighed again, "Anybody with eyes could see that in the portrait, OK?  But why?  Why did she run away?"

"I don't know.  She just won't tell me."

"JiYong Hyeong knows why?"

"He won't tell me either." Minzy said.

I sighed again, "Jeez...  Anyway, I just put it somewhere that Hyeong can find it, right?"

"Yes.  Oh, make sure the note is still on the wrapping paper.  And DON'T READ IT!"

I rolled my eyes and said, "The note is still here.  And I won't read it.  I'm hanging up."

I looked at the portrait one last time and let out a heavy sigh as I carefully wrapped the portrait up and made sure the little note was stuck onto the wrapping paper properly.  I then placed it next to Hyeong's desk and left the office, "Jang Biseo, if Hyeong asked you who the package is from, just tell him you don't know.  I'm serious.  YOU.  DON'T.  KNOW."  I gazed her in the eyes and said in a serious tone.

Jang Biseo blinked at me a few times and bowed her head, "Yes, Bonbujang Nim."

"Call me when Hyeong finds out about the package!"

"Yes, Bonbujang Nim."

SeungHyun's POV

I parked my car at the river bank and stayed in the car to read the project proposal.  I scanned through the first couple lines and couldn't help but laugh at myself.

"Choi SeungHyun, you fled from your office because of a woman.  How funny things can be!" I mumbled to myself as I shook my head.

I put the file down and got out of the car.  I looked up and was surprised to find Hilary getting out of her car which was parked not too far away.  Our eyes met at one point.

Hilary closed the car door and slightly bowed her head as she took a few steps forward.  I smiled as I walked over to her.

"This has become your hiding place as well?" I teased.  She blushed instant
