HORIZON INC. MAIN BUILDING/ VICE-PRESIDENTS OFFICE:

 

Once Hongjoong went inside his office his cousins immediately bombards him with questions about his birthday

"What happened on your birthday, Joong-ah?". Maddox was the one who asks first with a playful smile

"Can I sit first hyung?". Hongjoong said with a small smile. Eden and Maddox exchange a knowing look and a mischievous grin. Once Hongjoong comfortably takes a sit in his office chair, they start to ask him again

"So what happened and... you didn't come to the office the following day". Eden said as he waits for his cousin's reply

"Looks like you get something more than a party huh~". Maddox said with a teasing smile 

"What are you talking about hyung?". Hongjoong said in a quite panicked tone with a slight blush on his cheeks "I guess the party was too tiring~". Maddox said as he continue to tease his younger cousin. Eden notice the silver bracelet on Hongjoong's wrist as he was turning on his laptop

"I hate to ruin the moment but have you seen the news on the internet?". Eden suddenly said in a serious tone. Hongjoong and Maddox immediately face him with both anxious and confused looks on their faces. Eden showed them his phone and the headline says "KHJ: ready to settle down... already?". Under the headline was Hongjoong and Seonghwa's picture while Seonghwa was putting the silver bracelet on Hongjoong's wrist.

Hongjoong return his cousins' phone once he briefly reads the article about him and Seonghwa

"Why can they just leave you alone? Joong-ah, you should sue this paparazzi for invading your privacy!". Maddox said in a quite annoyed tone to his younger cousin 

"Don't worry... as long as they're not saying something bad about Seonghwa or anything ridiculous I'm fine. These was just rumors". Hongjoong said with a sigh

"So you're saying that you'll have to wait for something to happen before you take some action, what about Seonghwa?". Eden asks this time in a serious tone

"He's also fine with it. Yesterday he told me that it didn't matter to him because sooner or later our relationship will be out in public. I hope and know that he's gonna handle our situation just fine". Hongjoong said in a firm tone

"I don't know what you two thinking especially Seonghwa. He didn't know how this paparazzi and press people can get vicious in a blink of an eye. I'm sure your mother already sees this". Maddox said in a serious tone

"I already stop worrying about what she says... because it's pointless anyway". Hongjoong said in a serious tone

"Anyways, Maddox hyung what's my schedule for today?". Hongjoong continues as he asks his cousin to divert their conversation

"You already know about the apparel launch this afternoon right?". Maddox said as he checks his Ipad for Hongjoong's schedule

"A short meeting with Mr. Liu from Hanschen groups after lunch and that's it". Maddox said

"Alright. Later, I don't think I had time to fetch Seonghwa to the cafe... so, Maddox hyung I want you to fetch him for me and dress him up". Hongjoong said

"I'll do it". Eden suddenly said

"Maddox will assists you this time, if that's okay with you?". Eden adds up

"Sure hyung". Hongjoong said with a small smile

"I almost forgot... last night I receive a phone call from Mr. Shin Changmin, he told me that he was Dad's attorney. Can you confirm that Eden hyung?". Hongjoong continues

"Yeah, he is your Dad's attorney. In fact, last time I saw him here and he had a meeting with your mom. What does he say to you?". Eden curiously asks as Maddox silently listens

"He said about my Dad's last will and he'll have to meet us in private to discuss the distribution of our inheritance something like that". Hongjoong said with a sigh

"I guess you have to go there and find out. I'm sure your mother and brother also receive that phone call as well". Eden said in a serious tone

"Smells like something terrible is about to happen on that day". Maddox commented with a shrug

"I guess I'll have to brace myself". Hongjoong said indifferently with light sarcasm.

 

STAY'S CAFE:

 

Chan was surprised to find out that Minho was the one who opens the cafe today. Because usually, it was him who opens the cafe. What even more caught Chan's attention was Minho's tired-looking eyes

"Good morning, what's up? I didn't expect to see you this early". Chan greeted him with a small smile

"I couldn't sleep properly last night". Minho simply said 

"Something happened?". Chan asks in a serious tone

"Jisung and I argued last night... Jisung heard us when we were talking about Seonghwa the other day. I feel like hyung. Jisung left the apartment and I don't know where he is and when is he going to come back". Minho said in a quite frustrated tone as tears start to brim his eyes

"Just give him some time to think and then you two should talk. Don't worry about him, Jisung is staying with me". Chan said in a firm tone. After knowing that Jisung was staying with Chan for now, somehow Minho felt relieved.

"Jisung told me that he wouldn't be coming here for a while". Chan adds up

"I don't know what else to say to him, I already explain to him why I didn't tell him about my past feelings with Seonghwa. I don't get why he's so into it... I mean it's already in the past and he's my boyfriend now that's what matters to me". Minho said with a defeated sigh

"What he couldn't get is why you couldn't tell him at all? what Jisung wants from you is simple... your honesty Minho. Now, look what's happening... if you can't be honest... misunderstanding will follow". Chan said in a serious tone

"What am I gonna do now?". Minho asks Chan

"Let everything cool down first like I said earlier both of you need time to think about your relationship... then after that talk it all out once again". Chan said

"What if Jisung decides to break up with me?". Minho asks with teary eyes

"Don't say that. I know how much Jisung loves you". Chan said with a small smile

"I already miss him hyung". Minho said as he brush off the tears on his eyes

"Everything will be just fine~". Chan said as he give Minho's left shoulder a gentle pat.

 

LADY AURORA ORPHANAGE:

 

It was break-time and Seonghwa noticed that Jisung was not in his usual self, so he came and asks the latter one

"Ji, what's up? you seem off". Seonghwa said with a concerned look on his face

"Me and Minho hyung argued last night... I left our apartment and I'm currently staying with Chan hyung for now". Jisung said with a sigh

"I'm sorry to hear that, Ji. Why, what happened?". Seonghwa asks the latter

"He's not being honest with me... and I don't know what to think anymore". Jisung said in a defeated tone

"Is Minho cheating on you?!". Seonghwa asks in disbelief

"No, hyung. Minho hyung didn't cheat on me... he's just not being honest with me. He didn't tell me that he used to like someone before we started dating and there's a misunderstanding... what's hurting me is that he didn't want me to know at all! If I didn't hear him and Chan hyung talking... I wouldn't know!". Jisung said in a quite frustrated tone. Seonghwa fell silent for a while before he speaks up again

"Did he tell you... it was me?". Seonghwa said. Jisung immediately faces the latter one without saying anything

"I'm so sorry, Jisung. Way back in college... I may have the slightest
