HEARTHJonghyun continued being absent from work mysteriously and it became a hot topic for everyone.
Yuna became so sad with his sudden disappear. She tries to call him but his phone is still not able to contact.
One morning, Secretary Lee ordered a few people to remove documents and everything from Jonghyun's desk. All staffs became curious and kept gossiping if he has resigned.....
Yuna rushed to go to Secretary Lee to ask. "Secretary Lee, why are you removing Jonghyun's stuffs? What's wrong with him?" She impatiently asked.
"He has resigned from here." Secretary Lee shortly replied.
Yuna jaw dropped as it shocked her so much. She became tearful while many staffs are being happy to hear.
Seoyon came to Yuna. "What a pity! Noone is here to protect you anymore." she insulted then went back to her seat.
Yuna ran to bathroom and kept crying alone. She couldn't understand with his sudden resign. She kept phoning him even often but it still can't be contacted.
She didn't have feeling to do her work for full day. She was worried about him and she just couldn't take this reality yet.
.....
Today Jin left his office early and asked for staffs' attention before he left.
"Everyone, I'd like to announce that our chairman has transferred his position to his son. So start from tomorrow, our new chairman will come. He will work and come to company everyday so pay more attention on your work." Jin announced.
Everyone turned to each other and started gossiping about this announcement.
"I know our chairmen haven't come to company much in past but this new chairman wants to make a change so he will come to work with all of us from tomorrow. Make sure to come early and ready to welcome him! It's all from me. I'm gonna leave now. See you all tomorrow!" Jin left.
Everyone received a great shock as it's rare for company to have chairman come to work everyday. They all couldn't wait to be meeting their new chairman tomorrow.
Yuna was surprised to hear about the announcement too but she didn't care about it that much as what she cares the most now is the sudden resign and disappear of Jonghyun.
.....
Work finished. Everyone already left. Only Yuna who was still waiting for Secretary Lee to finish preparing a new personal office for new chairman.
She waited him outside the office and when he came out, she rushed to go to him again.
"Secretary Lee, can I have your time a little bit?" she hesitantly asked.
Secretary Lee nodded.
"Hmm I want to know about Jonghyun. Do you know why he suddenly resigned? I'm worried about him... I couldn't contact him... Do you know anything about him?" she showed her great concern for Jonghyun to Secretary Lee.
Secretary Lee thought for a moment then he replied. "Don't worry about him! You'll hear about him soon. Go back home! It's a bit late now." he gave a slight bow to her then left.
Yuna couldn't feel relieved with that reply. She became more worried and continued phoning him.
-----///-----
"Cheer!!!"
Jonghyun and Jin went for a drink together at a pub.
"Cheer for our new chairman!" Jin said.
"By the way, what made you suddenly want to reveal your real identity tomorrow?" Jin asked.
"Nothing... I just can't wait to rule the company." he coldly replied.
But Jin is clever enough to know it must be something more than that.
"I'm not that stupid... Did you argue with that newbie? You and she haven't gone out together lately." Jin got the point.
Jonghyun got mad and angrily finished a glass of beer in one breathe.
"Omo omo, you don't have to be this mad... So she is the reason you want to reveal your identity tomorrow." Jin assumed.
Jonghyun didn't reply. He kept drinking. Jin waved his head in disbelief to see how his close friend got hurt because of girl for the first time.
"I already warned you not to fall for such kind of girl too fast....." Jin continued murmuring.
Jonghyun became more annoyed with Jin. He finished another glass then asked to leave first.
"I'm gonna go first." he said then roughly left the pub.
"Aigooo this jerk..." Jin massaged his forehead as he felt so dizzy with his friend's madness.

Jonghyun left the pub and drove on his luxury black car to Yuna's rent house. He remained inside his car and looked at the house. The light already turned off. He thought whether she has already slept or hasn't come back home yet.
A moment later, he decided to turn on his old phone which he used while he was pretending to be a simple staff.
He soon received a call from Yuna. He was stunned to see. He was thinking if he should receive or ignore.
Finally he decided to pick up her call.
On Phone
"Jonghyun-shi!!!" Yuna became so relieved to finally be able to contact him.
"Jonghyun-shi, how have you been doing?" she worriedly asked.
Jonghyun was listening but he hasn't replied to her yet.
"Jonghyun-shi, are you there? I'm so worried about you..." she burst out crying.
Jonghyun heard her crying sound. He felt a bit moved.
"Worried? You know how to worry about me?" he asked with his deep voice.
Yuna was happy to hear his voice but she soon became hurt because of his words.
"Why would you say that? I'm worried about you. You suddenly disappear and resign from the company... We're friends so I'm worried about you... " she said.
Jonghyun burst into laughter.
"Friends? You only think we're just friends?" he asked.
"... Oh then what are we?" she asked back as she couldn't get his meaning.
Jonghyun became so hurt to know her heart thinking him just a friend.
He cried silently as he didn't want to let her know he is crying because of her.
"OK friends! We are friends... No I mean we were friends. From now on we're no longer friends." he painfully said.
Yuna burst out crying louder to hear.
"Oh no, Jonghyun-shi! What is wrong with you? Why are you saying like this? Have I done anything wrong? I'm sorry if I did... "
"Shim Yuna!!!" he shouted her name.
Yuna could feel his pain through the phone but she just didn't know what he is being sad for.
"Jonghyun-shi, where are you? I'll go to meet you if you want my comfort. I mean I feel you're being so down. Let
