Next morning, Eunbi and Irene go to the restaurant on the 3rd floor to have breakfast. They are wearing casual clothes since the function will be held at 11 AM. They still have lot of time to spend before dress up with formal attire

After taking their food from the buffet table, they sit at a vacant table near the window and have light talk while eating their food. Suddenly, someone presence distract them

“Good morning, noona and Eunbi”

“Good morning, oppa” Eunbi smile sweetly

“Morning” said Irene

“Can I join?”

“Sure, have a sit”

“Oppa, where are your foods? Are you eating in your room again?” Eunbi noticed that Seungwan come without food

“I already ordered my food. They will bring it here later”

“Okay, what about our boss?”

“Boss is still sleeping. He is sleepyhead”

“Oh I see” Eunbi said then continue eating

Seungwan looking at Irene who focus on eating, not interested to join their conversation “Noona”

Irene turn her attention to Seungwan “Yup”

“Do you still resent me?” Seungwan asked with guilt

Irene put down her utensil to focus on Seungwan “I told you that I forgive you. Even though I angry, I mean my words”

“But you ignore my presence” Seungwan pouting

“I don’t have intention to ignore you but Seulgi's presence makes me not in mood to talk with you” Irene heaved a soft sigh “I do have little resentment at you but I know you’re not the one that I should put the blame on. You have nothing to do with this issue but the fact that you are not being honest to me and lying to Eunbi at the same time make you impacted. Not only you but the bodyguard too. I remember their faces. If possible I want to scold them too!” Irene let out her dissatisfaction

Seungwan looked at his laps. “I already told Seulgi to open up but he kept delaying it. He wants to tell you a day before the dinner but everything is too late. Both of you are busy at that time. Seulgi is just too carried away by the situation that makes him not able to be honest to you. He don’t want you to hate him”

“Isn’t it worse when I find it out myself? Is this the situation that he wants? I can tolerate it if he tells me the truth during our first meeting. I will be upset, I seriously will do but at least I hear from him. Five months, Seungwan…five months we’re dating and our relationship is filled with lies. I let him know what happened to me and what I do on a daily basis but he just lied to me in return. I’m sure there are a lot of things that I still don’t know” Irene speaking firmly makes Seungwan scared. His mouth automatically shut because Irene spoke the truth. His thought going back to the first time Seulgi told him that he meet a woman through dating apps and he admit that Seulgi lie a lot to Irene

“I’m sorry for not helping, noona” Seungwan speak after few minutes

“Don’t apology on his behalf”

“Is there no more chance for him?”

“I don’t think I can go more than a professional relationship. I don’t want to deal with liars. For now I just want to focus on work. Me and him is over on the day I declare our breakup or to be exact, during dinner night”

“Okay” Seungwan looked at Eunbi's eyes and they exchanged glances. Now they are not sure if their plan will success

…………………

Irene means her words that she will be professional in her job. During the event, she assists Seulgi professionally like nothing happened between them. Since their breakup, this is the first time Seulgi walks closely with Irene and the longest conversation they have. Sadly, the conversation is about business only. No more, no less

“Irene Noona is very professional. Look, she is very comfortable with Seulgi” Seungwan whisper to Eunbi while staring at Irene and Seulgi who talking with the store manager

“Unnie is professional. She mean her words”

“Bi, I’m worried if our plan will not work. I don’t see any chance to make it work. Noona is so tough” said Seungwan

“Don’t worry, we will find other way”

“I don’t want my plan to fail. I want to date you” said Seungwan. Eunbi just reply with chuckle then she walk around the store

The event went successfully. They go back to the hotel to rest. Tomorrow they will go to KS Hypermarket for their CEO first visit

………………….

Seungwan invites Eunbi and Irene to hangout with him and Seulgi. However, Eunbi come alone to the lobby

“Where is Joohyun?” Seulgi immediately asking

“She said she was going out to meet someone. She leave about one hour ago”

Seulgi slumped his shoulder as he heard the answer. Seungwan wrapped his arm around Seulgi's shoulder “Cheer up, dude. I’m sure that is not her new boyfriend” he received light punch on his tummy from Seulgi

Tonight they go out without bodyguards. Seulgi gives his men free time since he doesn't have formal events to attend. He let them rest before start new day

Before strolling around, they go to a Korean food restaurant to fill their tummy. The restaurant is a bit crowded with customers but they manage to find a vacant table. They order many types of foods. At the same time, Eunbi worries if the food does not suit Seulgi taste. She still remembers the scene last night. Seulgi excuse himself to the toilet after the waiter leave

“Oppa, what if Seulgi oppa can’t eat these foods? He is quite picky” Eunbi stated her worries

Seungwan cackle “Don’t worry, Seulgi will eat a lot”

“But last night he request many things”

“Look…Seulgi is very concerned about the food that he eats. When he is in his rich kid mode, he will act like that. He must eat and drink from a certain brand. That is because at their mansion, they are served with food and drink from selected brands only. His family tied a contract with those food brands to supply the best quality food to their mansion. If the food suit their tongue, they will renew the contract annually but if not, they will find other brand”

Eunbi amazed “Wow, rich family can do whatever they wanted”

“Yeah” Seungwan wiggles his eyebrows. “If he hangs out with us, he can eat anything. Well, at least now he can cope with our environment unlike before. As soon as he is free to go out, I introduce him to many things that he has never experienced. Seulgi's life was very private until he finished high school. He lives practically like a prince. When he graduated, his parents gave permission to explore around but I must be there with him and also his bodyguards must follow us a certain distance. But now he is good at socializing and has many acquaintances. He was quick to make friends because of his friendly attitude and not being arrogant. Everyone liked him very much even though he came from a rich family. Seulgi also did not choose friends. He has friends who come from a variety of backgrounds”

“No wonder you two look like sibling”

“Yeah”

“You’re from rich family too but you not like him”

Seungwan grin “My parents are not really strict and protective so I can enjoy my life like other kids my age. Besides, I’m not the main successor of my family business. I step back to help Seulgi. He personally asks my parents so that I can go anywhere with him. They don’t have a problem since Mr. Kang and my dad are friends and business partners. They also part of investor in my family business so impossible they will reject his request”

Seulgi came back from the toilet but his expression looked different. Somehow, he looked puzzle

“Seul, what’s wrong?”

“I saw Joohyun just now. She just arrived but she don’t see me”

Seungwan and Eunbi look around, then they see Irene at the other side of the restaurant. She not come alone but with two people

“Who are them?” Seulgi asking curiously

“That is her twin brother and her sister-in-law. Bae Junmyeon and Kim Jisoo. Her sister-in-law is three months pregnant” Eunbi said

“No wonder they looked alike. Identical twin” Seungwan commented

“I know she has a sibling but
