After the boys are done checking out the vehicles Jasmine owns, she continues to lead them and the girls to show the remaining few spaces waiting for them to come and see. “What is this room?” YoonHee asks pointing at the door at the very end. “It is our CCTV room where we monitor the house. Every corner of the house is secured with CCTV for safety reasons and also to look for people. It is easier to check where my cousins whereabout through these screens than shouting calling for their names. They don’t usually answer, purposely. I am the youngest but when everyone is around, I turn into a Hulk in no time as I scold them almost everyday.” She says sharing something funny with them. They giggle. “Finally I would like to show you this final area of the house. I hope you guys will like it.” She then pushes a button on the wall and the metal door is automatically open. It gives a different vibe to them. It welcomes them to the outside world. It is green, calming and fascinating. Everyone runs towards the outdoor. Some of them cover their mouths with their hands. “The house tour ends here at the swimming pool slash our backyard.” She says looking at them. “So it was actually your swimming pool we saw earlier.” Suho says looking at her in amazement. She nods as she smiles at him. “Is this Jacuzzi?” Sehun asks pointing at the pool. She nods. “Yes and after that line, it is all normal swimming pool.” She points at the area. “It is amazing!” HeeYoung says looking at her. She just smiles. “What is that big thing hanging on the green wall over there?” Suho asks her pointing at the rolled screen on the planted brick wall. “It is a screen. We can watch movie from the swimming pool if you want to while floating. Watching movie in this backyard gives a different vibe especially when the night sky is filled with beautiful stars.” She explains. “This can’t be true.” Lay says in disbelief. She just smiles awkwardly. “This is my dream outdoor cinema. I can’t believe that I got to see a real life one before making one myself. I can copy the design a bit, right?” He adds more looking excited. She just nods. There are two big trampolines on their left. And on their right, they can see two big barbecue grills. On the left and right side of the swimming pool there are many gray lounge chairs which are neatly organized. There are some comfortable sofas arranged here and there. Everyone looks happy and Jasmine is happier to see that. “Jasmine, you didn’t lie when you told me that your parents prepared a house for you to stay. This is such a perfect home for a precious girl like you.” Kyungsoo says holding her right hand. Everyone else is busy looking around the swimming pool. “I am not good at lying, oppa.” She replies. He nods. “I hope you will be able to rest well in this house. I hope everyone does. I believe mommy and daddy will be happy to see this.” She says looking at him smiling wide. As she mentions mommy and daddy, he really wants to ask something but he knows that it is still too early to bring it up. Maybe it is better to wait a little bit more. He doesn’t want to rush things. “They will be proud of you for bringing us here to enjoy what they prepared for their princess.” He says to her. “I hope so.” She replies shortly. He keeps on looking at her as he smiles. She finds him weird. It is as if he got something bothering his mind. She realizes that from earlier. “Are you okay, oppa?” She asks him. He nods. “Yes, I am okay. I am just wondering what I have done to deserve the experience to stand next to you at this moment. I am just so happy to have you around. I am such a lucky guy.” He says hiding what he actually feels. She doesn’t ask more though his answer is not convincing at all. “Aren’t you guys hungry? Shall we go and get some breakfast?” Jasmine says to them. Only then they realize they haven’t eaten breakfast today. They go up the staircase provided on the left and right side of the metal door they came out from earlier. They don’t have to go up from the basement. In this house, there are many entrances and exits here and there.

“Thanks imoo for the breakfast you prepared for us. It was delicious as usual.” Jasmine says to Park Imoo who is in the kitchen wiping the counter. “You’re welcome sweetie. I missed you a lot. How’s everything?” She asks her. “I missed you too. I guess everything is normal. I pretty much have a busy life as usual. Nothing has extremely changed.” She says looking at her. Park Imoo knows what is going on in her life. She understands how strong this girl in front of her mentally and physically that it amazed her every single time they meet. She is like a daughter for her now as they have been keeping in touch for many years. She is young but she is mentally very mature. Time flies as they keep on talking in the kitchen. Outside at the dining table, everyone else is still finishing their foods. They eat leisurely today. There is nothing to rush. “Hyung, how did you come up with the idea to stay in Jasmine’s house?” Baekhyun asks the managers. “She suggested it as she felt like everything that you guys asked for an ideal vacation, she has it all in this house. Plus she told us that we could save some money by doing so. You guys don’t have to spend your own money to look for a perfect vacation place. Everyone can stay here and enjoy a relaxing vacation. She also mentioned that her house is on a private land so it is very safe from any intruders as she has a personal guard to look after the house. Even if we chose to stay in a private villa or something similar, the privacy can’t be guaranteed as it is still a public area. After thinking about it with the management team, we came to decide to grab the offer. Though we are clueless about how the house looks like, we believe Jasmine gives this offer because she knows the best of what you guys need. That is why we are here today.” Nam manager explains to them. He is relieved that finally they don’t have to keep any secrets from them. It was hard to keep it from everyone. “She is one of the most generous and kind hearted human beings I have ever encountered in my life.” Chen says to them. They agree with his statement. “She also wants everyone to treat this house as your own. She wants everyone to be comfortable being here.” Kang manager adds more. They don’t get to respond as Jasmine is coming out of the kitchen carrying a tray. She notices the sudden silence. “Is everyone okay? Do you need anything?” She asks them looking at everyone. They all nod before shaking their heads. “We are fine. Don’t worry.” Kang manager replies. “Where are you going?” Kyungsoo asks her as he leaves his seat. He porposely didn’t join her in the kitchen to give her some space talking with Park Imoo in private. He is so sure she has a lot to say to her as she doesn’t come here that often. “This is for Park Ajusshi. I am bringing him his early lunch as he had a very early breakfast today. He must be hungry right now.” She lets him know. “Can I bring it to him?” He asks her. “Are you sure? Have you done eating?” She asks making sure. He nods. “Yeah, I am very full right now. Let me bring the food to him. You just stay here. The others may have some questions to ask you.” He says to her. “Okay then, just let me give you a pair of slippers you can use outside. Come.” She says leading the way to the entrance. “Here you go.” She places a pair of leather sandals in front of him. He immediately puts them on. “They are very comfortable.” He says to her. “I know right. These were one of daddy’s favorite sandals. You can fit in them. Finally someone can wear it well.” She lets him know. He is touched to hear that sentence. She lets him wear what her daddy used to wear. It is very meaningful for him. “It is an honor.” He replies. “Go down the stairs carefully. Thanks oppa.” She says waving at him. “Ajusshi, I bring you your lunch.” Kyungsoo carefully says to Park Ajusshi who is focusing on guarding the house. He turns around to see Kyungsoo there. He is surprised. “Aigoo, you don’t have to bring me this. I can wait for my wife to be available to bring me some. I am sorry to bother you.” He says taking the tray away immediately. “Ajusshi, it is okay. I need to walk around because I am very full right now. I need to digest after eating a lot. Imoo cooked delicious breakfast for us. Can I look inside?” Kyungsoo asks for his permission to check the guardhouse out. Park Ajusshi opens the door and he welcomes him inside. He is happy to see this polite young man as he talks very nicely too. He is amazed by his great behavior. He was amazed by them all when he first saw them earlier. He is glad that Jasmine is surrounded by wonderful people like them. “You have your own personal bathroom in here. That is nice.” He says as he looks at the comfortable bench sofa where the guard can have a rest comfortably. “I have worked as a guard before but this is the best guard house I have been into. Jasmine’s family is very caring. They all have beautiful heart. Even for guards like us, they make sure we are well taken care of and comfortable to work here. We feel very appreciated. We are very lucky to be given the opportunity to work with them.” He shares without being asked. Kyungsoo listens to it attentively. “How long have you been working here ajusshi? Can I know?” He asks him. He looks hesitant but he eventually answers it. “Honestly I only started working here about three months ago after being released from the prison. But my wife has been working with this family for years now. Before this house is completely built and furnished, she used to work in Jasmine’s daddy’s clinic as a tea lady and cleaner. Ever since I was prisoned almost fifteen years ago, her family has been looking after my family.” He lets him know. Kyungsoo is not ready to hear that statement. Park Ajusshi then lets him know everything that happened to him. Kyungsoo is leaning on the wall. It takes him a while to digest everything. “I know it must be hard for you to accept it. But it is the truth that I feel guilty about and grateful at the same time.” Park Ajusshi pats his shoulder calming him down. Kyungsoo wipes his tears as he looks at Park Ajusshi. He nods.

“Where is Jasmine?” Kyungsoo asks s who are now hanging out at the formal living area. They have finished eating and now resting. “I think she is in the kitchen with the girls.” Suho lets him know. “Okay, thanks hyung.” He says rushing his steps towards the kitchen. “Hey, is everything okay?” Chen asks him. He then turns around for a bit to give them an okay sign. They continue their conversation after making sure that he is fine. Entering the kitchen, he is scanning the area real quick. “Jasmine is not here?” He asks the girls. “She is in the pantry.” Park Imoo answers his question. “Thanks Imoo.” He replies as he walks towards the back door connecting the kitchen with the pantry. As he goes inside the pantry, he can see her back. It looks like she is looking for something there. She doesn’t notice that she is no longer alone. Kyungsoo approaches her quietly before pulling her into his arms and he holds her tight. Jasmine who is so surprised doesn’t get to even scream because she knows who is holding her right now. She knows the warmth. The only thing she has no idea is the reason why he is holding her tight at this very moment and place. “Let me hug you for a while.” He whispers as he feels how she is trying to let herself go. He knows that she wants to ask why. She stays still giving him way to hug her without any disturbance. A good two minute later, he lets her go by himself. “OMG! Why are you crying? Did you hurt yourself? Let me see.” She says as she starts to look for any source of pain on him. He stops her as he holds her hands tight. “I heard about what happened almost fifteen years ago from Park Ajusshi.” He explains why he is acting this way. She understands what he is talking about just from that one sentence. She knows sooner or later, he will find out but she never thought that it would be this soon. She can only smile. “Is that why you cried?” She asks him wiping his tears with her hands. “Let’s talk about it later, okay? Please keep it to yourself right now. Don’t tell them about it.” She asks from him. He understands why. He just nods. “Thank you!” She says rubbing his cheeks with her thumbs. “I am really lucky to have found you.” He says to her. She looks at him just smiling without knowing the real meaning behind that sentence. He is touching her face as he kisses her on her forehead. She is surprised by his act. “I am so proud of you little girl.” He says sincerely. “Do you know what you can and cannot do as my guardian angel?” She asks him suddenly. He looks troubled. “I am sorry. I have crossed the boundary. I don’t have any ill intention on you.” He explains himself. “It is okay. I didn’t say that you couldn’t do that. I was just curious of what my cousins have told you.” She says with an intention to jokingly scare him. She doesn’t feel bad about him kissing her on the forehead. She feels protected and appreciated. And she can feel his sincerity. He takes a deep breath before letting it go slowly. That is his way to calm himself down. “Oppa, can you get me that bag of tortilla chips?” She asks him. “Of course!” He says as he raises his hand to grab it. “Thank you!” She says to him before leaving the pantry with him. “Girls, I found it.” She happily shows the bag of tortilla to the girls. “Great!” They clap their hands. The girls help Park Imoo to wash the dishes earlier. Now they are having a long chat with her. Kyungsoo leaves the kitchen to join s. Ten minutes later, the girls come out of the kitchen bringing the tortilla chips, tomato
