Yuna woke up and struggled to go to work with terrible fever. She has 5 projects in her hand to finish so she dared not ask for permission.

 

“Shim Yuna, Jonghyun-nim asked you to go to his office.” Seoyon came to call Yuna.

“Dee!”

Yuna quickly went as order.

…..

“I’ve come.” Yuna entered Jonghyun’s office, bowed to him but kept facing down to avoid his eyes.

“Who teaches you to avoid looking eyes when your boss is talking like this, huh?” Jonghyun minded her avoid eye contact.

Yuna slowly looked at him. “I’m sorry.” She gave another bow.


Jonghyun sighed then lifted his both legs to put on his desk, showing his rude manner to her. He kept looking at her from head to toes.

“Such a nice body!” he bit his lips, watching and saying about her body in ert way.

Yuna felt insulted.


“How many times have you slept with him? Can you spare a night for me?” he asked about the rude question again.

Yuna became tearful. She lost the bravery to have eyes contact with him. She faced down to escape from the embarrassment.

Jonghyun chuckled. “How fun to look down on you!... Well, I’m gonna call you in every morning to look down on you in order to make my day. It’s enough for today. Leave!” Jonghyun chased her.

Yuna was in disbelief to hear about everyday insulting plan of Jonghyun. But she knew she couldn’t do anything. She just left when Jonghyun told her to.

…..

Another busy day to skip meal. Yuna has done with one project and started to do the second one. She was planning to work over time again.

When it’s almost time to finish work, Seoyon came to Yuna again.


“Shim Yuna, follow me!” she called Yuna to go with her. Yuna followed behind.

On the way, they ran into Jin and Jonghyun who were leaving their offices.

 

“Oh Jin-shi, Jonghyun-shi, you’re on the way to go home?” Seoyon politely asked their bosses.

“Yes!!!” -Jin-

“We’re going to eat together.” -Jonghyun-

“Have a nice dinner!” Seoyon gave a bow to her bosses.

They finished the conversation with Seoyon then continued to leave.

 

“Let’s go, Yuna! Today you may have to work overtime. Storeroom is over there.” Seoyon and Yuna continued walking too.

 

Jonghyun paused from walking when he heard Seoyon’s word for Yuna. He was curious what they were going to do but he didn’t ask. He left with Jin.

…..

“Here is storeroom. I want you to find data in 2000. Search it for me. After you found it, put on my desk! I need it for tomorrow so you have to find it by today. Got it?” Seoyon said.

Yuna glanced at the mountain of old stuffs and documents inside the storeroom and sighed to herself.

“Yes I got it, Seoyon-sunbaenim.” Yuna forced herself to accept the late work.

Seoyon gave an irritated smile then left.

Yuna held her tears to bear with the bully. It was obvious a bully to be asked to do it at this hour but she tried to build up her spirit and searched for the documents.

 

1, 2 ….. hours have passed. Yuna couldn’t find the data document in 2000.

“2001, 2002…..2010…. why is there no 2000? It’s weird.” She complained to herself.

She kept searching here and there inside the storeroom alone. Suddenly the door of storeroom was closed.

“Ops!!! Wait… excuse me! There is person inside. Please open the door!” Yuna struggled to open the door but she couldn’t open it. She became chaotic as it was dark and cold in storeroom.

After another hour of shouting for help but without having any response, Yuna started sobbing in fear.

“Is there somebody outside? Please help me! I’m scared. Help me…” Yuna kept crying.

She now sat down, facing her back to a corner of shelf, holding her knees and kept crying hopelessly.

“Awww rat!!!” Yuna shouted out to see a rat running. She quickly stood up and ran to escape. That moment she accidentally hit another side of shelf and made a box dropped from it.

She was scared all alone. When she could calm her fear a little. She went to pick up the fallen stuffs she made them drop into the box back.

“Love Dairy???” she saw a small notebook which has dropped together with other stuffs in that old box.

She opened it. “HANA NAGAZUMI….. it belongs to that Japanese staff… she wrote it in Japanese.”

Yuna sat down and started reading a few pages of Hana’s dairy.

The more she read, the more emotional she felt. She cried unconsciously as Hana’s dairy was so touching. She found out the secret love between the Japanese staff Hana and former CEO Kim.

“So Hana-shi and Mr. Kim are lovers… Her love with Mr. Kim was so beautiful. They struggled a lot.” Yuna was shocked to know the secret of them.

“She must have felt so bad to come in between his family… but Mr. Kim obviously wanted to spend the rest of his life with her….. This dairy is so beautiful. I wonder if Mr. Kim has seen it….” Yuna was really amazed by Hana’s love for Mr. Kim.

“I will take it with me and read it all.” She decided to take it with her as she thought the owner’s no longer here.

She put all the fallen stuffs to the box back. Then she went to sit at a side and continued reading the dairy. She planned to make herself forget about the fear and coldness inside the storeroom.

After another one hour, because of tiredness, sickness and fear, Yuna ended up fainting inside the frozen storeroom.

-----///-----

“Aww… damn it, I forgot my phone in my office.” Jonghyun suddenly realized he left his phone on his desk while drinking with Jin at a pub.

“Why so clumsy, Chairman-nim?” Jin mocked at Jonghyun.

“I’ll go first tonight. I have to get my phone then go home. Goshh… already 11PM!” Jonghyun exclaimed to see the time on his watch.

“Okay! Drive safe!” Jin replied.

Jonghyun left.

…..

Jonghyun drove to his company. He walked into the office to find his phone.

“Here it is!” he found his phone. He took it and left his office, intending to leave. Suddenly he heard a phone ringing. He followed the sound and saw Yuna’s phone was on her desk, ringing.

“Namjoon-oppa?” he read the caller’s name.

“Why is her phone here?” he asked himself. Then he checked around her desk. He saw her desk was still here and her computer hasn’t turned off yet. He became more curious. He felt something is wrong.

“Is she still here? Where has she gone?”

“SHIM YUNA! SHIM YUNA!” he shouted to call her but no response.

He went to woman bathroom to check. “Shim Yuna? Shim Yuna!” no one was inside the bathroom either.

He became more curious and naturally worried. “Storeroom?” he suddenly memorized Seoyon’s word. He rushed to go to storeroom.

The storeroom was locked.

“Yuna? Yuna, are you inside?” he hit the door to make noise while calling for her.

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

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!!!
