Kai sits by his private pool, deep in his thought, holding the book she gave him. The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane. He read it so many times by now that he can’t even count on his fingers. He was never a book lover but he just loved that book. True love is sure a wonderful thing. He didn’t know why but he felt so happy today.?. He dives into deep thoughts, recalling how she described love. It was so new..like he didn’t know till now what love meant. He had spent almost 2 years with Sana. He did have girlfriends before. Sana was the only one who he stayed with for so long. They started dating because he found her unique, but actually, she is just like him. Then why did he find her unique..?? Because it’s hard to find someone like him. He knows it too well, that the Sana he see is not the real one. She needs make up to cover up because their society thought her who she is isn’t enough. He himself do it but Winni, she doesn’t hide. She is like refreshment to him, away from his world. She makes him feel like a new born..?? Facing the world in a complete new angle. In fact nobody, as in nobody knows till now that he aspired to be idol. Not even his parents, his close friends and Sana, nobody knew it. Winni was the first one he shared his inner feelings with and it feels good. Good to be with someone that is not from his world. His relationship with Sana started off because he liked her but it continued because of their parents. He was fine with it because he was already dating her. But this new development in his life makes him wonder, is Sana really his soul mate.??

Jennifer reaches home late, too late for someone’s liking. She walks into the house, kicking her boots off near the main door. She strolls lazily into the kitchen and pulls out a pitcher of water from the refrigerator. She pours into a glass and gulps down the whole content when she hears a voice from the dark side of the house.

“Where have been..?” spoke the deep voice.

“Outside”

He tsks at her and it was clearly evident that he wasn’t satisfied with that answer.

“I know that you were out but where were you till this late..??”

She ignores his questions and walks toward the stares when he holds her hand, firmly halting her steps.

“I asked you a question.”

“And I already answered you. But why do you care, its none of your business anyway.” She snaps, too harsh for him. He let go of her hand that instant and she walks away. He wasn’t used to her rude behavior. She was so soft and now, he regrets being a jerk to her.

It was a weekend and Sana was having her time with her beauty treatment in a saloon. She was getting a foot massage when she got a call from D.O

“Hey D.O. What’s up..??”

“Ha-ha, trying to imitate Kai..??”

“Maybe..That’s how you greet a guy right.??”

“Yeah, actually…Sana, are you free tonight.??”

“Hmm, Why..??”

“There is a dinner I am attending and I need you to be with me.”

“Dinner..?? What dinner..??”

“A dinner with my father and his family.”

“R..Really.?? But how..I mean who..”

“Jisoo noona. She spoke to them about it and they accepted to have me for dinner. I am just .. you know..scared to face them alone.”

“It’s ok, I will come with you. Remember I promised you that I will be there to support you..?? Just pick me up from Seoul beauty salon in the evening. Ok..??”

“Ok”

She ends the call and turns her head to the girl doing her foot.

“Can I get a makeover for a family gathering..??”

D.O reaches the place at 6 PM and finds Sana already waiting for him. He gets down the car and smiles at her who return back his gesture. She was wearing a knee length baby pink sleeveless gown, embellished with black flower at the bottom. With a pair of natural black diamond’s dangling from her ears and black high sandals with lace flowers, she looked stunning toning, complementing with his all black Brioni Vanquishn suit. He opens the door for her to get in and whispers “you look beautiful” making her smile wide.

The house, no mansion was modern and placed in wide acre of land filled with gardens.

When they knock on the door, Jisoo was the one who opened it. She instantly wraps her hands around D.O who offers a bunch of Orchids. They go in after all the greetings and the atmosphere immediately turns awkward. He bows down to greet the elders but they walk away into the dining, ignoring D.O. Taking a long breath, he walks into the dining and takes a seat to the right of Mr. Kim, his father who sat in the head chair. Before him sat Mrs. Kim, Suho and Jisoo and Sana, she calmly sat beside him. They soon start eating the noises of the cutlery were the only one heard. The thick atmosphere is sliced when Mr. Kim clears his throat.

“Aren’t you The Elyxion Group, Mr. Byun’s daughter..??”

Sana was staggered at the sudden question. She swallows the meat before replying.

“Yes sir. I am Byun HyungMin’s daughter, Byun Sana ibmnida. Nice to meet you sir.”

“Oh, nice to meet you to young lady but what are you doing here..?? With him..??”

“Ah.. I am his friend so I just tagged along.”

“Friend..?? ha..make sure whom you are befriending girl.”

“Abeoji.” Suho speaks out firm, not wanting to offend D.O

D.O was in no mood to eat. He bits his lips, preventing him from exploding. He came for a job and he is going to go back clearing it.

“Cho..I actually came to speak about something with you father.”

“What is it about..??”

“It’s about goodwill orphanage.”

“What about it..?? I bought it under my son’s name. So what..??”

“It is the orphanage where my mom grew at, you can’t take it down just like that..”

“What.?? Your mom’s orphanage..?? she didn’t have a value even when she was alive, what will you do with her memories..??”

“Abeoji. Why did you buy that Orphanage under my name.?? I clearly told you that that place wasn’t necessary for us. We already have a place which is more suitable for our artist’s residential area. You don’t have to do that.??” Suho snaps, not impressed with their father’s reply.

“We can change the place. I want it to be at that orphanage.”

“Don’t you think you are being too mean Abeoji..??”

“JunMyun..!!!”

“Abeoji, you inherited the company to me. I am the CEO and I will be the Chairman once I get married. You gave me the authority to decide what is best for the company so let me make the decisions. I don’t want you to mingle into this issue anymore. Kyungsoo-ya…Nal ttalawa.” Suho stands up from his chair and walks out, followed by Jisoo. D.O slowly stands up and follow him and Sana trail behind, too afraid to be with Mr. Kim.

Suho stands in the veranda, hands in his Gucci pant pockets, staring into the lake behind the house. D.O calmly halts beside him, slightly biting his lips. It was so awkward. The first time he meet Suho was when he landed in this country. They didn’t speak but he being tongue tied when D.O was practically kicked out of the house made him hate Suho for no reason. They stay in pure silence until Suho pulls out a bundle of papers from his coat pocket.

"Here, these are the Orphanage registration papers. I changed it to your name. I made some documents calming you as my adoptive brother. Its fine if you don’t want to change your name to Kim, I think your mom will be happier if it’s Do. Soo brothers..??” Suho extends his hand with a smile but what he didn’t expect was D.O to pull him into a bone crushing hug. He was crying. D.O was crying for not understanding his brother. He thought he was just like their father but he wasn’t. He mumbles a muffled Hyung and Suho feels his eyes tearing up, pushing D.O into another brotherly hug.

Sana hugs the now crying Jisoo, consoling her. She smiles looking at the brothers union. After they leave the place, Suho drags them all to McDonalds, Calming that he didn’t get a chance to eat properly. They eat burgers and fries and laugh at Suho’s dad jokes. Sana and Jisoo laugh how lame they were where as D.O, he laughs for finally being with his hyung.

“you worked hard. See you tomorrow. ” Sana says before getting down the car when they reach her house. She was about to walk in when D.O calls her out hopping out of the car.

“Ha..??” he didn’t give her time to response before he hugs her tight.

“Komawo” he whispers into her ear before getting in and zooming of, leaving her dumbfounded.
