*Inside the Restaurant*

Jonghyun, Mr. Kim and Secretary Lee were having dinner together at an Italian restaurant.

“Do you like the food here, Uncle?” Jonghyun asked.

Mr. Kim nodded. “It’s so good. I like it, Jonghyun… How about your work? Have you got used with it? I heard you’re a bit short-tempered. How many contracts have you rejected?” Mr. Kim asked in teasing way.

Jonghyun shyly rubbed his nape.

“Haha….. You’re really a copy of your father. Don’t worry! Time will teach you to be more mature.” Said Mr. Kim.

“Dee, Uncle! I’ll learn to control my temper. Thanks for your concern!” Jonghyun gave a slight bow to Mr. Kim.

“By the way, Seokgi is returning soon. She keeps asking me about the marriage between you and her. She takes that promise so serious. Her late mother and your mother shouldn’t have made such promise.” Mr. Kim changed the topic.

Jonghyun changed his facial expression after heard the arranged marriage topic.

“Hmm… What do you think? Do you want the marriage?” Mr. Kim asked straight forward.

Jonghyun became uncomfortable with the question. He faced down, biting his lips, thinking how to answer.

It was a dead silence from Jonghyun.

Mr. Kim could understand the meaning of his silence.

“Jonghyun-ah, you know I’m a victim of arranged marriage.” Mr. Kim shocked Jonghyun.

“You mean you and your late wife didn’t get married because of love?” Jonghyun surprisingly asked.

Mr. Kim nodded. Jonghyun widened his eyes to know.

“It’s for business purpose. We were matched by our parents. We didn’t love each other. We often argued. I thought our couple life would get better after having a son but we failed. I asked her to get divorce many times but she always refused. Then I met Hana. I knew I have found the love of my life and I wanted to start a new life with her so I asked my wife to get divorce for the last time. Unfortunately, my wife didn’t agree to. Moreover, when she found out Hana was being pregnant for two months, she forced her to abort the baby. Hana mysteriously disappeared after aborting our baby. I’ve been trying to find her both Korea and Japan but there is no news about her. She has left my life for 22 years in total. If she is still alive, I wish to meet her again. I hope she is living fine with someone else.” Mr. Kim emotionally exposed his secret past to Jonghyun. Jonghyun was so shocked to know. He didn’t expect Mr. Kim has such story in the past.

Jonghyun was speechless.

 

"So Jonghyun, if you don't love or don't feel like marrying my daughter then don't do it. Don't make yourself and my daughter suffer because of the marriage without love like me. I still feel sorry for my family and Hana until now. Jin also suffered a lot. He grew up seeing his parents fought almost everyday because of this loveless marriage..... I'm such a terrible father. If you have someone you love then go for her." Mr. Kim explained his experience to Jonghyun.

 

Jonghyun carefully listened. Though it was such a bad tragedy for Jin's family, Jonghyun felt relieved to know Mr. Kim didn't put pressure on Jonghyun about the arranged marriage which was talked by old people long time ago.

 

"I'm sorry to hear about your story, Uncle. And thanks for the advice on my case with Seokgi. I'll think wisely." Jonghyun gave a commitment.
 

Mr. Kim smiled proudly to Jonghyun.
 

"Oh by the way, Secretary Lee! The little girl who made tea for me is a new staff?" Mr. Kim turned to ask Secretary Lee who remained silent for a long time at his seat.
 

"Ah yes yes, Sir. The newest staff! She is just 22 years old. She has just entered around 4-5 months. But she has improved a lot lately. She is doing quite good." Secretary Lee replied.
 

"Yuna..... She really reminds me of Hana. Perhaps, if Hana wouldn't have aborted our baby and if the baby was girl then she should be around Yuna's and Seokgi's age." Mr. Kim said then closed his eyes to relax from being depressed about his past.
 

Jonghyun and Secretary Lee turned to look at each other to show their sorrows for Mr. Kim. They remained silent and let Mr. Kim be.

Yuna went to Namjoon's place after work today. She suddenly felt low and needed someone to talk with.

 

"Yuna!!!" Namjoon soon paused his work and quickly ran to Yuna as soon as he saw her was entering his shop.

"Yuna, why don't you inform me first? I'm so surprised to see you here." he excitedly said.

"If I have informed to you then you wouldn't have surprised." she .

 

Namjoon warmly invited her in.

 

"Yuna, wait for me here! I'll finish my work soon." he said then went to continue repairing a motor.

 

Yuna sat down at a side and kept looking at him.

 

"Yosh! I'm done." Namjoon completely finished his work then walked to her.

Yuna stood up. She took out some wet tissue and cleaned on his face.

 

"Good job for today, Oppa!" she sweetly said to him while cleaning the dust for him.

 

Namjoon was full of butterflies in his stomach.

 

"Can I borrow your kitchen today? My oppa is working so hard so I wanna cook something delicious for you." She gave another sweet offer and it was enough for Namjoon to die in happiness.

 

"That's very kind of you." Namjoon gave a satisfied smile to Yuna.

 

They went inside to cook for dinner.

.....

Namjoon went to take shower while Yuna was cooking for him.


"It's done now, oppa." she called him.


"Wow!!! Are we having a new year party?" Namjoon exclaimed after saw a lot of food Yuna has made.


"Come and sit! Let's enjoy Friday night together!"


Namjoon sat down.


"Let's cheer! Tonight I'm gonna drink a lot. Finally another hard week has passed." Yuna cheered her beer with Namjoon and started drinking.

 

She has drunk a lot. Namjoon could see she was being sad about something. He started to feel worried about her.

"Yuna, it's enoug

Chapter 43: I am so happy to get update on this story TT I love Jin so much an Jin in this story is a very gentleman. I am liking the fact tht he's more vocal about wanting to make Yuna happy too. She deserves all the love I this world. JR's mom is a horrible . How can she do this to her child? This stupid people keeps treasuring some unworthy ty promises that they don't realise how it is affecting to other person.

JR would e devastebafter learning what his mom has done behin his back. That seokgi is no less, that still want to marry him. When the hell will she grows up?

And wait, she's preg now. AHAHHH JR WILL BE SO HAPPY TO HEAR THAT. But te es won't let them alone, would they!? I hate themso much.I'll awaiting the next update since more drama is coming. Thank you <3

Chapter 42: You have no freaking idea just how much I love this story and do I miss it TT Thank you, thank you so much for updating here. I know your hands are full eith your other stories and work, i really really appreciate your hard work.

Thank you for not abandoning thsi story, I love jin so much, you know it. But I don't know what's in the bag for yuna after JR goes for a whole month. I smell storm coming her way. Why just this rich people don't let their kids marry the one they love. It's so sickening to see them suffer.

I even feel pain for JR. He is now guilty for remaining silent when he was supposed to act. I am glad he's repenting as he should. I just low key want jin to take care of yuna in JR's absence. I don't trust that es ;-((

PS: Happy Birthday to our dearest JR. I eish him nothing but love happinesss, health and peace of mind. I know you love him so much, I know it too well <3
Also you said, you would update here often. Yay me!!! So I'll be waiting for next one. Ly<3

Chapter 41: Did I get UPDATE on HEARTH?????????
Oh my god, you've no idea how much Inmisse dthe story, I myself realized it just noe while reading this. This story is a masterpiece, I hope you keep writing and updating this story once in a while too.

Talking about the story, I feel like instead of dealing with all the emotions all alone, jin should share it with his best friend. Best friends are healers, even if things are not too perfect between them, they still will understand you and protect you.
Also, I missed Namjoon so much, that pretty human being gets rude treatment from JR and I feel so bad. He doesn't deserve any of it. He's an angel I mean, he means no harm at all TT

Author-nim, pls find him a suitable girl!! And that mfkn seokgi, she's creating havoc again. She's really unreasonable! I hate her so much. Now as if the obstacles were less, JR's mom made an entry, and seems like she's bit strict and has old fashioned mentality. I mean if she loves her son,. She should accept yuna without arguing.

I hope she doesn't come between couple, they are absolutely in love with eachother! Also, I hope Jin can confront yuna and disclose the truth.

I'll wait for the update! Please stay safe. I love you❤️

Chapter 40: First off, I am really sorry that I haven't read this before as I was busy. I am so sorry! I know you must be waiting for my comment. Sorry for the wait.

Talking about story, Jin is in dilemma if he should reveal yuna's identity.. I think he should. She has suffered enough and she deserves happiness now. I know Mr. Kim will treat her nice. She deserves that totally. And jin has always treated her fairly ofc for the short moment he was off the rail but he's back to his senses now and I really want him to accept her as his own sister.

Seokgi is a and even if she doesn't want to accept yuna, that won't change anything anyways. She has to accept it by hook or crook. Seokgi will surely plot something against yuna. I trust her. Once Mr. Kim recognizes Yuna, I'm sure that he will soon... Jonghyun along with Mr. Kim and Jin will treasure her so much. I am soo sure of that. I want that to happen soon. I for once want yuna to stop thinking she's not 'no one' and 'orphan'. I really want her to be bold and independent and in a happy mental state where she actually thinks good about her, her life, her family.

And jonghyun actually listened to jin at the rooftop?!! I like that. I want JR to know the truth. Even tho he treats Yuna nice regardless, i tink he will love and treasure her more now. Just my instincts hehe. Jin should tell him the truth.

Wait, where is my joonie? What's he upto these days? I would love to know about him too.

Also, I don't want to forget to mention what yuna said to jin when she became conscious. I am so happy that she said that she wants to live happily with JR. I am soo glad that she rather than running away in fear of seokgi, she chose to stay for her love. I am so happy that she chose JR regardless of pain and sufferings she might have to face. I am so proud of her, that takes a lot of courage and not to mention when she practically has to fight against evil rich spoiled brat. I am so proud of her!!

As I always say, I'll wait for the update! I am excited. Thank you for writing good stories!

(Hope this long comment made up for my delayed reading)

Chapter 39: Damn what just happened?? That soyeon made stories to seokgi and that fool even believed it. People really are impossible. I feel so bad for yuna. She doesn't deserve any of this. How I wish jonghyun could see how much she's gonna suffer in near future. All I wanted was yuna to be happy and i thought jin will protect her. I can't believe he said bad words for yuna. Now that she's sick and he seems bit fragile too, i hope he can come back to his senses and treasure yuna while he still can.

I think yuna should not stay silent and fight against injustice that she's facing. Until when she'd depend on the men around her to stand up for her? They let her down, knowingly or unknowingly. I want her to happy. I want her to live a life where she can love laugh and genuinely be happy without thinking much of others.

Jonghyun will beat seokgi right?? He should slap her 100 times more than she slapped yuna. I'm so furious.

Thanks for the update!! I'll be waiting for another one

The kitchen was sooooooooooo fuming hot. My god!! And seokgi heard them? I TOTALLY LOVED THATT PART. That deserve it. Really!!! I know once she knows about Yuna she will make her life hell, she's a psycho.
I am disappointed in jin, he's blinded with sister's love rn.. yuna is his sister too, for god's sake. What is he thinking?? I hope he come back to his right senses before it's too late

He's gonna regret anyway to support his spoiled psychopath sister!!

Anyways, I loved the double update TT

Chapter 36: Seokgi is really very immature and unreasonable. If she really loves him, she should let him go.. what's point to tie him with herself? She won't get his love anyway!! I think teens these days are same, unreasonable and immature. They want what they want. They don't think twice before acting.

Mother mary is really nice, she helped the love birds to patch up. Wait talking about love birds, aren't they growing up and building this relationship stronger together??!! It warms my heart to see them like this. They're are adorable!!
Now that mother mary told yuna that they're fated, I'm bit relieved.

Still scared of that bitxh thooo

And I'm disappointed.. there's no TT
My naughty persona is suffering TT

Hehe!! I love you sm
I'll be waiting for an update that( can rot in hell)

Chapter 35: Sooo finally my curiousity got feeded. That Seokgi is nothing like Jin!! But No wonder, I am not even shocked to see her like this. I was silently praying that she won't be a bixch but she is absolutely a bitxch and... Now Yuna is in trouble and although Jonghyun wants to marry Yuna, he has to get rid of seokgi first as she is very immature girl. I don't even believe she's in love with him.. I think she's obsessed with him!! Andd Obsession is a dangerous thing.

Honestly, I feel bad for Yuna. Jin being the best brother he could be, I can't thank him enough for not being biased towards his own sister, I am glad he has sense of judgement and he stands for Yuna, cuz clearly she's right TT

I don't want her to suffer more but that's life.. the more we run from pain the more pain keeps chasing us!

I just wish Jonghyun can handle the situation maturely. I am also expecting Joonie meeting some good girl and live happily without pain, he's been in pain too!



PS: I love the fact that you update very often, you keep me consumed. Thank you!!

I wish I could write this often too TT I am sorry for being lazy

Chapter 34: <span class='smalltext text--lighter'>Comment on <a href='/story/view/1466977/34'>Thirty Three</a></span>
Jonghyun and Namjoon lil conversation got me cracking. They're soo cute. Hahahh.

And Hana will be alive in Japan, right??? I am worried about her, she has been through soo much.. :(( No one deserves something like this. She seems like a nice woman, no wonder Yuna is a good girl. I hope they can find eachother soon.

Mr. Kim still loves her, I mean that is the kind of love one should look for in life. I hope my COCO can get someone who loves him more than any other thing in this world TT

Anddddddd the == you have no right to attack my fragile heart like that. Goddd it was soooo hot, very very hot. You're getting better and better writing and I am soooo proud of you for that, lol.


Like Jonghyun said, I really hope they could marry eachother and hv babies together.. yuna has been through so much, she deserves all the love!!

Ohh what about seokgi though? I wonder if she's nice like her brother or a BITXH like her mom -_-

Waiting for the update!!!
