A young woman shivers from the cold as she walks her way back home, rubbing her palms together as she tries to warm herself from the cold weather.    It would've been wise for her to take her car instead of walking back home, but here she is, walking for almost an hour now, usually it would only take her thirty minutes but her mind is saying she doesn't want to go home yet, despite her dreading condition of wanting to sleep. She walks starting from her workplace, to the park, to the food stalls and now, at the city.   As she's walks by the busy streets of Seoul, she stop her tracks at a certain store; her eyes staring bore and places her hand at the shining circular item displayed behind the glass. Her breath hitched as she recalls a memory; like a video on loop, it kept playing, playing, and playing until   letting out a shaky breath then muttering a soft 'sorry', she retracts her hand back to her sides and walks away at the said store with her head hung low.   -**-   The dark brown haired woman stares at her bedroom ceiling the moment she opens her eyes, she's been wide awake for about an hour, but since its a long weekend rest, she decided to laze around in bed for a little while, her phone lights up and started ringing. She took a glance on her phone and it was a daily reminder that she set a week ago.     Papa's 50th birthday!     Oh right, her father's birthday is coming up soon.      It has already been months the last time she came home; it's not that she's so busy that she couldn't go home every weekends; it's that ever since they broke up her parents still keep asking about her; how well is she doing or is she seeing someone else,  despite that they are aware they have already broken up and had no communication after that, in fact, they were the first ones who knew about their break up.     “So? That doesn't mean that we can't talk about her in this household? Whether you two broke up or not, she's still a family friend Hyun-ah.” Her mother reasoned out.     After introducing her to the family, her parents (especially her younger sister) immediately loved her.     She coos at the thought, i mean who wouldn't? When she behaved as an ideal daughter in-law when she first introduced her to her family. Sure—she's sweet, attentive, genius and a considerate lover, but the years of dating the latter, she discovers that her former lover is: dumb, oblivious, expressive and sappy woman.     “What are you doing?”     “What? I'm trying to impress your parents like you said.”     “Yes, but juggling isn't what i have in mind.”     “Might as well be unique, no?”     “Babe, just drop it.”     Her daydreaming came to a halt when her phone rings again, she picks it up and receives a text, from her boyfriend.     Good morning sweetie, any plans for today? Text Message     At a time like this, especially on a long weekend rest, she would usually stay at home and read a good book on her favorite soft chair by the window. But no, her (idiot) ex girlfriend sets her up with one of her peers before disappearing somewhere in Canada (probably staying away from her).     She and her boyfriend started dating two months after she and her broke up. Her former significant other volunteers to find someone who can “replace” her before moving back to her hometown.      “I don't think i would sleep peacefully if you're not good hands whilst i'm away.” The latter reasoned out.     All you had to do was stay, dimwit.     Irene drops her phone momentarily, staring back at her ceiling once again. Now that she thinks about it, it's a long weekend and she haven't been home for quite sometime now; maybe this time, she'll stay at home for the weekend.    Yeah, that's a good idea.   She does miss her parents dearly (absolutely NOT her younger sister) and it would be a nice surprise for them to see her come home for the whole weekend.     I think i'll go home this time, since it's a long weekend. She replies.     He probably wasn't waiting for her reply it took him longer to reply back, not Irene minded since herself, also takes time to reply.     I understand, it's been a while since you went home right? Want me to drive you? Text Message   It's fine, i'll just take the KTX. Text Message   Okay, give me a call when you arrive home. Text Message     She left the message unanswered, Irene gets up from her bed and proceeds on her daily routine before heading back to Daegu.       Irene heaves a sigh of relief as she arrives inside the train, she sits down by the window and gingerly drop her things, drying herself using a blue handkerchief then diverts her eyes by the window.    She didn't expect that the rain would pour this heavy, her umbrella didn't help that much since she got drenched in the rain; admiring the droplets of the rain by the window frame, a sudden memory triggered in her mind whilst a song softly accompanying her through her earpods.     “Hyun! This is not the right time to play around! You'll get sick!”     The older woman laughs mirthfully. “Come on babe, this is fun!”     “You'll get sick, come back here!”     The woman shakes her head, folding her arms playfully. “Not until you join me in this very lovely weather.”     “It's raining.” The younger one deadpans. “You'll get sick, we have work tomorrow.”     “Does it matter? Come on!” The drenched woman tries to join her in, but only to met with a stern gaze.     “It's been a while since i've done this for a very long time,” The older woman smiles softly, taking both of her hands, caressing it using her thumbs. “You know how stressful work is, please? Just this once?”     It was a mistake for her to look at her pleading eyes, the moment she turns into a stern adult woman the next thing she looks into her eyes, she becomes a whipped woman. the younger one sighs in defeat then steps forward, her clothes are getting drenched already.     “You'll hear a never ending ‘i told you so’ from me if you get sick.”     The teacher grins widely, cupping her hands to her cheeks as she gives her lover a smooch kiss on the lips before they start chase each other under the rain.     “I won't mind, you'll be the one taking care of me anyway.”     As the younger one expected, the latter indeed got sick and forced to take a leave from her work. Irene didn't mind her lover's endless nagging for the whole day, not when she get to cuddle with her whilst having a movie marathon in her living room under her blankies.     She loved the idea the latter taking care of her and showering her with kisses despite her childish antics that would gradually affect her health if that would mean she could spend with her all day.   Dating a renowned CEO is hard, she admits that. They hardly have the time for each other since they're both busy with their work, but this time, Irene wants to be selfish, just this once she wants to be with her, just for today and she would gladly cherish this moment with her, even if it isn't the most grandest moment ever.     “I told you you'll get sick.” She deadpans.     Irene giggles, placing her lips on the younger one's.     “And i don't regret it—not one bit, not when you're the one taking care of me.”     “Someone is dead whipped for me, huh?” She smirks.     Irene rolls her eyes. “Way to ruin the mood, douchebag.”     The young entrepreneur laughs, kissing her temple before engulfing her into a  warm tender hug. “And i love you too.”     **   “Ah! My beautiful eldest! What a surprise!” A middle aged man spreads his arms with a bright grin as he sees her daughter by the foyer. One of the maids bows at Irene's arrival, the latter responds a hearty hug which made the maid laugh, hugging her back.     “Oh my! You're quite drenched aren't you dear?” Father Bae gestures one of the maids to fetch him a towel.     “Papa!” Irene giggles, she drops her bag and wraps her arms around her father's waist, hugging him tightly. “I missed you Papa.”     “And i miss you too my angel.” Father Bae murmurs, kissing his daughter's hair softly.     “Hyun-ah? Is that you my dear?” She hears a faint shout by the kitchen.     “Mama?”     “Hyun-ah!” Mother Bae gasps, Irene let go off the hug from her father and embraces her mother with a full on hug. “You're drenched!”     “Mama! I missed you so much.” Irene squeals, hugging her mother tighter, her mother chuckles as she pats her daughter in the head softly.     “I missed you too dear, how is kindergarten?”     “I'm doing well Mama, how's the company?”     Irene's family holds a reputation of being one of the most respected people in the Korean industry. Her father being the famous CEO that mold and nurture his trainees to be the most famous idols not just in Korea but in all countries, and Founder of one of the top three biggest entertainment company in Korea.     She, herself was informed by her father a few years back that she would be the heiress of the company, but she kindly rejected as she explained it to her father that she's passionate with her current career as a kindergarten teacher.   Irene would've expected her father to be mad about it and force her to become a heiress; but instead, her father smiled and nodded in understanding. Thank heavens for having an understanding parents, if not, it would definitely be a problem for them.     As a result, her father announced that her younger sister will be the heiress of the company, which of course, every one favoured, since her little sister has always been vocal about wanting to taking over the company.     Speaking of her younger sister.     “Mama! are you done with the—huh?” Her younger sister hurries downstairs, then stops mid way as she sees her older sister at the foyer.     Irene looks up from the stairs and smirks at her younger sister who was gaping like a fish. “Hi, Yerim.”     “Huh, now who do we have here.” The youngest in the family smirks, taking her time going down the stairs then crosses her arms in front of her older sister.     “Bae Joohyun, pleasure seeing you here.” The jet-black haired an eyebrow.     “I'm your unnie Yerim, show some respect.”     “I'm the CEO in this house, the one that should show some respect is you.”     Irene rolls her eyes trying to be equally sassy as her younger sister but her smile is betraying her then she spread her arms. “If you wanted a hug you can just say so.”     Yeri made a disgusted expression. “And what made you think that i want a hug from you?”     “Because i'm your sister, come here.” Irene pulls Yeri by the arm and wraps her into a hug the short haired burrows herself into the latter's embrace, which of course made the older one giggle in delight, softly running her hands into her soft locks.     “I'm only hugging you because you haven't been home for months—and you like my hugs.” Yeri murmurs.     “Whatever you say Yerim.” Irene plants a kiss on her younger sister's head.     The parents both coos at the sight, Mother Bae places her hands by her chest whilst Father Bae merely grins, placing his arms on her wife's waist.      The youngest member of the family has always been the most sassiest and sarcastic one out of the two, loves to test her sister's patience with her pranks, sarcastic comebacks and Irene would always reply with a glare an
