“Yong. Palli.”

Yonghwa walks to Yoomi and stands beside her.

He glances to Shinhye who was with a teen boy.

She was smiling like she always does while she look at Soohyun.

He then glances to his niece.

She is smiling brightly too.

As bright as she can.

Her father was present.

He observes Jaejoong’s face.

He was happy.

He saw him steal glances on her sister and smile.

He looks like he still love them, but why did he left?

He shrugs the thought away and claps along with the guest when they sang the birthday song for Soohyun.

And then, his eyes went back to his secretary.

Yonghwa don’t know why but he feels good when he see her.

“Do you want anything Director?”

“Deh? No.”

He clears his throat and walks to his room.

“Is he okay noona?”

“That’s his personality Hyungsik ah.”

Shinhye laughs.

“Oh, that’s Hyuk.”

Hyungsik turns to his right and saw his friend walks in with his girlfriend.

Eunji greets Shinhye before she joins Soohyun and Yoomi.

“That’s why you know a lot about him.”

Hyungsik comments and he pats Minhyuk’s back.

Minhyuk rubs his nape.

“How long have you been with her dude?”

“A year had past already.”

“Chinca?Aigoo Hyukkie, I don’t know you are in a relationship.”

Minhyuk smiles shyly.

“Oppa, do you want to eat some cake?”

“Later Eunji ah.”

Eunji smiles and went back to her relatives.

“I heard director calls her Hyerim.”

“That’s her real name, Jung Hyerim.”

Shinhye nods few times.

Hyungsik and Minhyuk then went to have some boys talk and Shinhye joins Soohyun and Eunji.

“Unni, I love your dress.”

She said adorably when Shinhye sits with her.

“I choose this specially for your party.”

“Chinca?”

Shinhye nods while grinning.

“Soohyun ah, your teacher is here.”

“Unni, I’ll go greet my teacher neh.”

“Okay sweetie.”

Eunji went to sit beside Shinhye when Soohyun had walked quite far from them.

“Unni, is it okay working with oppa?”

“Deh.”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes. Wae?”

“You sure know what I mean right?”

Shinhye chuckles.

“I had adapted to his style I guess.”

“Unni, Minhyuk oppa told me but really, you are great. You know that you are his 10^th secretary right?”

Shinhye nods.

“I have my own way darling.”

Shinhye chuckles.

“Seriously unni. After I meet you I fully understand why Minhyuk oppa keeps praising you.”

Shinhye was about to answer her when her phone ring.

“I have to take this call.”

“Deh unni.”

Shinhye then walks out of the event place and answer her phone.

“Miss Park.”

Shinhye smiles.

“Yes Director.”

“Ask my sister where is the office and comes in now.”

Yonghwa said in straight tone and ended the call.

Shinhye shakes her head.

“Even or Sunday?”

She bites her lower lips and went to Yoomi.

“What did he want?”

“I didn’t ask.”

“Aigoo. Is he going to trouble you again?”

“Maybe there is something important madam.”

Yoomi sighs.

“If you went to the second floor, it’s on the left.”

“Okay. I’ll get going.”

Shinhye glances to Hyungsik and saw him chatting with Minhyuk.

She then proceed to climb up the stairs and knocks on the told door.

“Come in.”

She heard Yonghwa’s voice.

She pushes the door open and closes it back.

“Do you want anything director?”

Yonghwa who was standing beside the window turns to her.

He looks away from Shinhye and clears his throat.

Her glowing face is distracting.

He sounds like he is having a sore throat when he faced her.

“Remember the last conference?”

Shinhye nods.

“Yes sir.”

“We got it.”

Shinhye widens her eyes.

“Chinca? That’s great director.”

“So, we are going to a meeting with buyers. And we have to go to China.”

“We?”

Yonghwa raise his head.

“Any problem with that?”

“No. Nothing.”

“IS there anymore director?”

“Don’t you want to know the details?”

“I thought we should talk about it at office, tomorrow?”

He clears his throat once again.

“Hmm. Yes. Okay. You may go.”

Shinhye bows and left the room.

Yonghwa nearly want to slaps his forehead.

“This is my house for God sake. Why did I tell her the first thing after I got the call? I should tell omma first.”

Yonghwa then shakes his head and places his palm on his chest.

“I think I suffer from some weird disease.”

                                                                                                ***

“How is it doctor?”

“As I said before Mr. Kim, you need to go the surgery. We have a very talented surgeon. You will be fine.”

“I’m taking the medications and supplements.”

“It’s still not a big help. It can make you feel less pain but you are aware that you can’t live without it right?”

“Yes I do.”

“You haven’t told your family yet. Am I right?”

Jaejoong let out a sigh.

“I can’t tell her. She had been through a lot.”

The doctor sighs as he leans his back on his chair.

“How can I help you then Mr. Kim?”

“Just give me few days to think about this.”

“Talk to Doctor Park. I’ll tell him and set time for you to meet him.”

Jaejoong nods.

“I’ll take my leave first doctor.”

“Deh. Think carefully. I’m waiting for a positive answer.”

Jaejoong just smiles as he makes his way out.

Jae ahhh... I'm sorry to make u sick...
