The elevator rings, signalling that I have reached the sixth floor. Giving my outfit an once-over, I step outside and walk down the quiet hallway until I reach a door with PRESIDENT written down in silver plating. I balance the basket I brought with one hand and proceed to knock on the door with the other. 

When there was no answer, I pushed the door open, knowing it is usually unlocked at this kind of time, and quietly slipped in.

"Seojoon?" 

My heart dropped once I saw my brother. The man's sleeping rather uncomfortably on his leather chair, hugging himself from the lack of warmth. His table is full of papers and files, stacks and stacks of it . I knew right away he had fallen asleep while working overtime again.

I put the basket on the coffee table and walk over to him to wake him up. My eyes glance over his messy table again, stopping at the only picture displayed. This was taken when dad insisted on taking a family picture before I fly to the States to continue my studies because he wanted something to look at when he misses me eventhough I kept him updated with my pictures. It has been on this table ever since and Seojoon still keeps it here.

"Just what am I going to do with him, dad?" I mutter, only to be answered by my brother's soft snores.

I sigh before lightly shaking his body. "Seojoon, wake up. It's morning already." 

He wakes up in a jolt and visibly relaxes when he sees me. Groaning, he clutches his head in his hands. "What time is it now?" I glance down at my wrist watch, "It's half past seven." 

Seojoon shoots me an apologetic look, "I'm sorry, I know I said I'll be home last night-" 

I simply shake my head with a smile. "It's okay. I brought breakfast?" 

His eyes shone with excitement as he reached out to hug me but I quickly ducked down, "No way, you're smelly." Seojoon scoffs and proceeds to clean up his desk, well trying actually.

"The company's giving you a hard time, isn't it?" I asked while giving him a hand, discreetly waiting for his response.

Seojoon shakes his head eventhough he clearly looks like he's done for the week, "No, I'm just still learning a lot of things. Don't worry too much." This is how it always is with Seojoon; I'll never know how he can be so positive all the time or how well he's hiding his feelings.

Feeling a lump growing in my throat, I push his chair away from the table. "I'll clean this. Go wash up before I finish all the food."

After Seojoon entered the bathroom (privilege of being president; a bathroom in his office), I tidied up his table the best I can and laid up our breakfast on the coffee table.

I plopped down on the couch while waiting, glancing around at the interior that hasn't change a bit even after dad left. 

Almost two years after cancer took dad away from us;

Well, the last update is not too rushed but when you finishing everything and back to write I think it will be better if you edit it a bit, that would be perfect (but I already love it anyway ㅋㅋㅋ) I can’t help but keep grinning. Well, take your time and see you on next updates!

Chapter 5: And it's the wedding is on! Waah, I'm so giddy when I read this chapter.

It didn't take Seojoon long to agree to his sister's decision, he even got close to Daniel already in some way.
I love it when Seoun and Daniel interacts, their conversations are very simple and casual, but their interactions are so sweet. He's sweet and she's seems like a lovely person too.
so far, we only know Daniel has some sort of attraction to her (I'm also curious about his reason of wanting to marry her). Seoun accepts him, but it's still not clear if she starts to develop any kind of interest towards him yet.

Thanks for updating after a while, I've only able to catch up with this chapter now.
I can't wait to see what's in store for this new and lovely couple. Keep up the good work!

Chapter 5: It’s looks like a really interesting story. Cuz normally, the girl, the boy, or sometimes both of them don’t wanna be in an arranged marriage. So it’s like a fresh breeze of air to see them both content with their decisions. I liked it so far and I am sure I will like it more in the future. Keep up the good work. I am sure it’s will be just as good
