Irene arranged the foods that she cooked for breakfast at the dining table. Jisoo helped her to wash the pan and pot that she used. She wants to help Irene cook but the older woman prevents her from doing it. In the end, she only help her prepare the ingredient and do the cleaning

“Jisoo-yaa, you can call Junmyeon now. Our food is ready” say Irene

“Okay unnie, what about Seulgi oppa?”

“I woke him up earlier but he said want to sleep more. I already left food for him to eat later”

“I got it” Jisoo go to the car porch to call her husband who busy washing his car since earlier

Three of them were eating breakfast peacefully. The most enthusiastic is Junmyeon because Irene cooked his favorite food that he would not eat if Irene was not at home. Jisoo already learned to cook that dish from Irene but according to Junmyeon, the taste is different. Only Irene can cook the legendary dish that their late father always cooked for them before. The taste is exactly like their father's cooking. Whenever Irene comes home, Junmyeon will ask her to cook his favorite food. He will buy the ingredient early if Irene told him that she will come back

“Hyun, where is Seulgi?”

“He is still sleeping. Seulgi sleep late last night because he worried about his friend at Seoul” say Irene

“His friend that he mentioned last night?” Jisoo looking at Irene

“Yes, that is his best friend. They are very close to each other like sibling that’s why Seulgi care a lot about him”

“Oh, have they found him already?” Junmyeon asked

“I don’t know. I not ask more because he looked so sleepy”

They continued eating and Irene told the couple about her engagement with Seulgi. Junmyeon and Jisoo are not surprised since Irene told them beforehand. Now she tells them the details, especially the preparation. As her brother, Junmyeon is happy that finally his sister meets someone who loves her unconditionally. He trust Seulgi to protect and love his sister because he know Seulgi is a good person

Seulgi comes from upstairs and joins them at the dining table. He was already washing up and wearing casual clothes. Last night, Irene remind him not to sleep to avoid tragic incident happen again

“I thought you want to sleep more so I not wake you up” Irene said after she give Seulgi his food

“I woke up when Chanyeol called me. He said Seungwan woke up already then I called his phone. After talk with him, I’m not in mood to sleep anymore so I take shower”

“Did they find him in that bar last night?”

“Yes, they found him in a drunken state. He doesn't want to go with them but is not able to fight because he is too drunk. The boys bring him to their dorm after that”

“Thank God. I’m worried that something bad will happen to him. What makes him like that? Have you asked him about it?”

“Eunbi” Seulgi stated while staring at his future fiancé “Look like you need to confront Eunbi. At least we know her reason”

“I will talk slowly with her” said Irene

Meanwhile, the married couple only listened to their conversation. They don’t want to interfere since they don’t know about the topic

………………

Everyone sits in the living room since they have nothing to do. Junmyeon and Seulgi play chess while Jisoo and Irene watch a random TV show. Irene changed the channel to look for interesting shows but didn't find any. She decided to watch the morning news in the end. She and Jisoo focus on the gossip news about celebrity

“Girls never resist gossip news” Junmyeon whispered to Seulgi when he noticed his wife and sister were really immersed in the show. Sometimes they discuss about the topic

“No matter how busy they are, they always have time for gossiping. When we want to watch soccer, they will complain” say Seulgi

“True. Jisoo never lets me watch soccer matches if the schedule clashes with the drama that she watched. I have to buy another TV then put it in bedroom so she can watch it there without disturbing me”

The news topic changed to business and economics. At first it seemed like it was not interesting until the headline caught Seulgi’s attention. Irene want to change to other channel but Seulgi quickly stop her

“Wait Hyun, don’t change it first”

“Why?”

“Wait” Seulgi watching the TV intensely “What happen to Youngsoo?” he mumble

“Something wrong?” Junmyeon curiously asking Seulgi then he look at TV again

“Youngsoo Group stocks dropped drastically yesterday. Market analyst predict that it has something to do with the corruption among Youngsoo superior” Seulgi answer then he took his Ipad on the table

He checked the stock market then gasped “Yaa, Youngsoo stocks never drop this low. Until last midnight, they ranked below 20. This is not good for their company”

“Are they your business partner?” Irene questioning

“They used to be KS business partners but we called it off after appa found out their staff embezzled huge amounts of money from our joint project. It happened a long time ago when I was still studying. KS and Youngsoo relationship cracked but Youngsoo owner apology for his staff misbehave so they are good until now”

Seulgi added “Youngsoo business moves in the field of processing and supply of building material to domestic and foreign companies. They are one of the popular suppliers among the development companies. However, their company performance is not the same as before due to many problems such as corruption, embezzlement of funds and capital as well as power struggles among superiors and breach of agreement with partners. Youngsoo management is very weak and messy. That is why KS no longer cooperates with them to avoid huge loses”

“That company sound like toxic” say Junmyeon

“You’re right”

Something suddenly came to Seulgi's mind but he was hesitant to talk about it. Irene noticed Seulgi's body language so she asked “Do you perhaps have something to say?”

He nods hesitantly “Em…about Youngsoo. You remember what we talked
