"You have got to be kidding me!" Bora exclaimed, exasperated.

Shoulders drooped, she frowned at her cell and threw it over to her bed before letting herself fall beside it.

She's been contacting every possible person she knew in the business for the last three days, heavily hinting and even sometimes openly asking if they have a job offer for Jiyong after he finishes his current project here in South Korea.

"Honestly! How hard is it to get an acting job anyway? Hundreds of movies are made yearly and not one outside South Korea is willing to take Kwon Jiyong?" she muttered to herself, still furious. So far, the only luck she had of getting Jiyong hired anytime soon is another project here in South Korea, which is exactly what she's trying to avoid. She has to find another job for him outside the country before he gets offered another one here but most of those she had contacted are either too cheap to hire him, or find that he deserves to at least rest up first after so much box office hits he's had lately.

"Bravo! Yes, yes, yes! What a wonderful voice!"

Sandara blushed at the compliment but beamed up at the man all the same.

"Thank you Mr.-"

"Please my dear, I told you to just call me Hyunsuk," he reminded her with a wave of his hand.

"Didn't I tell you it was worth the trip back to South Korea, Hyunsuk?" another man said as he came into the recording room Sandara was still situated in with a few people, who had played the instruments to the song, behind her.

With a wide and an almost excited look on his face, Hyunsuk nodded. "Indeed you did and I don't regret it one bit!" he announced before turning back to Sandara. "My dear, a few more songs and we'll be ready to release a whole album with your name embossed in large gold lettering in the front! I don't know why you've kept this talent of yours under wraps for so long."

Sandara smiled a little. "I've had more important matters to attend to," she explained vaguely yet honestly.

"Understandable of course," he said with a nod and a face that looked like her response actually explained it all.

"Now Sandara," said Mr. Park, cutting in. "We'll just have one more take on that last song. And we'll be taking a video of you singing as well. You wouldn't know when video footage might come in handy in the future."

"Now, now, Teddy," Mr. Yang said, looking over to the owner of the recording studio and his long time friend. "Do you really think that's necessary? I mean, it's too early for that, isn't it?" he asked, not really knowing much on the music industry himself.

"Who knows," Teddy replied with a shrug before giving a nod at Sandara and the band before taking his leave with Teddy following after him.

"Thank you, Hiro," Jiyong said genuinely with a slight bow of his head.

"No, no, Jiyong. Thank you! You've done a fabulous job lately. I'm beginning to think we're actually underpaying you! This movie might only be open to theaters nationwide for now but I'm sure it'll reach the sights of international viewers soon enough when they find out you're in it!" he said in a sure tone and a jolly laugh.

Jiyong grinned at him one last time before taking his leave.

"Mr. Kwon," a crew man greeted with a nod as he passed by.

He couldn't help the pleased look on his face as he took out his cell.

"Hello? What is it Jiyong?"

"Bora! Where are you? Did you leave without me?" he asked though not at all minding if she actually did.

"Yes, sorry. I wasn't feeling very good in the studio earlier. I'm back in the hotel. What's up? Are you done for the day?"

"Well, I just spoke to Hiro. And yes, I'm done! Not just for the day but all my scenes are shot and my character's wrapped up for the movie!"

"W-What?"

Jiyong's grin widened hearing his manager's startled voice.

"Surprised? I am too, but Hiro had one scene taken out due to time conflicts so I'm done! They're still shooting now but it's just the rest of the scenes needed of the supporting cast. He's pretty happy with the footage taken earlier and he says he's confident re-shoots aren't a possibility at this point," he informed her as he nodded at Joe before getting into the backseat of his car. "I wanted us to celebrate but since you're not feeling well, you better get some rest instead."

"Oh, but I'm fine now. I mean, I've been resting up and-"

"It's okay, really. I have somewhere to go for a while anyway. So, you rest up. I'll be back later. Just order what you want in room service for now," he said and without another word, closed his cell.

"Where to, Jiyong?" Joe asked, looking at him through the rear-view mirror.

Jiyong considered him for awhile. No one but himself ever knew about his visits to Sandara's. But Joe did know about the twins already. So it wouldn't hurt to trust his bodyguard further. How would it hurt?

"Get into the freeway Joe, I'll give you precise directions from there," he instructed. "I have to get a couple of things first and then I have a few people to visit while I'm still here."

As he said that, it was only then that Jiyong fully understood the meaning to his words. He was done filming in Seoul, he was done filming in South Korea. He would have to leave as soon as possible if he gets another job offer. Of course he would have to come back for the movie premiere, but other than that, he can't stay if he does get another job in some other part of the world.

He has to tell the kids. He's been avoiding telling them for the past weeks when he found out filming was coming to an end. But now that it actually has finished, he has to tell them. He has to tell them he'll be leaving soon. And he has to tell them that he's their father.

Before that though, he has to speak to Sandara, which he hasn't done for the past four days. They have to talk it through together first before he can talk to the kids.

Jiyong unconsciously touched his lips with his index finger.

"Dara," he said under his breath.

"Jiyong?"

His head snapped up to Joe who was still looking at him.

"Nothing," he muttered before settling into his seat.

"I told you I'm perfectly fine," Nabi told her mother, grinning.

Sandara beamed at her and nodded. "You know I worry too much."

"Indeed you do," Seungri agreed as he swiveled lightly on his chair in his office. "Nabi's never been better in my opinion, and my colleagues agree as well."

They were back in the hospital, having just letting Nabi's doctors check her. It has been months since Nabi's last check-up that Sandara felt slightly uneasy. She was so used to having Nabi checked so often, that not going to the hospital seemed to unnerve her. Seungri of course hadn't minded. It's been a while since he saw the family and his colleagues were only too keen in seeing Nabi and see for themselves that she indeed has gotten far better than she had ever been.

"Where are the boys anyway?"

"They insisted on exploring around outside. I have Hino watching them," she said, earning her an amused look from him. "Don't worry, I told them to stay within the ground floor only. I can't risk them meeting patients and catching something upstairs." This earned her another amused look from Seungri. "Okay, I can't risk the patients meeting or even seeing them," she amended with a little laugh.

"Oh boys! I'm getting too old for this!" Hino said rather exasperatedly, bending herself down and settling her hands on her knees.

Yonggun and Yonggi stopped in their tracks a few meters in front of her, identical grins on their faces.

"Really, Hino…"

"…you can just sit over there."

They both pointed to the chairs not far from where they stood.

"We'll just go to the front counter…"

"…we want to talk to the nurses again."

Hino clicked her tongue at them. "You can't disturb the staff boys. They're working."

"We won't be disturbing them, honest!"

"We just want to see them doing their job."

Both held their breaths, watching their nanny consider this.

"Oh alright then," she agreed with a sigh. "I'll be sitting right here, so I'll be able to see your every move. Make sure not to make too much noise."

"Come in!" Seungri called out.

Sandara and Nabi followed his gaze to his office door as a nurse poked her head inside.

"Excuse me, Dr. Lee," the nurse said, bowing her head and looking apologetic. "I was wondering if I could have a word in private? It's rather…important."

Seungri's brows furrowed at this.

"I suppose it's time for us to leave anyway, we took too much of your time as it is Seungri," Sandara said, standing up from her seat.

"Oh no!" The three turned to the nurse at her exclamation. "It really won't take long."

Seungri nodded at her then turned to Sandara and Nabi. "Excuse me for a while ladies. I'll be right back shortly."

The nurse nodded at Sandara and Nabi and waited for Seungri to join her outside.

"What is it?" he asked in a low voice, closing the door shut behind him.

"It's Sandara's kids," she informed him quickly. "Yonggun and Yonggi are in the Information Counter right now. They've been asking questions."

"What do you mean?" He couldn't find anything wrong with this so the look of worry on the nurse's face was somewhat surprising to him.

Lowering her voice even further, the nurse leaned in slightly. "They've been asking a lot of questions about their father."

Realization dawned on Seungri at the mention of the supposedly lost parent. Besides himself and the team working on Nabi's case, a handful of other staff members in the hospital have become aware of the nature of Jiyong's position with the family, all of whom he had personally told to keep under wraps from anyone outside of the administratio
