Irene, Eunbi and Solar are scheduled to visit House of KS outlets in other districts. They ride the elevator from their department. However, the elevator goes up instead of going down. They predicted someone from executive office will go somewhere

“Who do you think will go down?” Eunbi asking

“Maybe our boss” Solar nudging Irene arm lightly

“I don’t think so. He said he don’t have any schedule outside today”

“Let see who will come”

Elevators stop at the 30th floor. They were curiously waiting for the door to open. When the elevator door opened wide, they saw Seungwan and an unfamiliar woman enter. They bow to both of them. The trio move back a bit to give space for Seungwan and the woman. Eunbi can’t take her eyes off Seungwan because he does not spare a glance at her. He did not smile at all. Usually if they are in an elevator together, he will try to find a way to stand beside her. This time they totally like strangers. Seungwan also seem close with that woman

They can’t help but praise her visuals. She looks so beautiful and from her vibe, she must be from an elite background. When they arrived at the lobby, Seungwan and the woman went out first. It was still fine until she hugged Seungwan's arm. Eunbi also noticed that Seungwan stared at that woman warmly. That gaze is familiar like when he stare at her

“Bi, calm down. Everything will be okay” Irene caresses Eunbi back. She know Eunbi is in bad mood right now

“Irene is right. Don’t overthink first. Ask him who that woman before jump to conclusion” Solar added

Eunbi her hair back and sighs “I still try to think positive but the thought of Seungwan oppa is flirtatious is disturbing me”

“Aigoo, don’t think too much. I’m sure Seungwan is not play around with you”

“I hope so” Eunbi said soullessly

……………

Seulgi stops by Irene's apartment to have dinner together. He is not coming for a few nights since he is busy. Irene only make sure Seungwan feed him on time so he not miss his dinner

He followed Irene to the dining table then he saw Eunbi already sitting there with a frown on her face “Eunbi?”

“Hi oppa” Eunbi answer lazily

“What with that face? You’re scolded by Manager Lee?” Seulgi just received faint ‘no’ as answer

Irene join them at dining table then they start eating “She is upset because of Seungwan”

Seulgi stops munching then looks at Irene “What’s wrong?”

“We saw Seungwan with an unfamiliar woman who looked so intimate. Eunbi is upset because of that” Irene explain

Eunbi added “He also has not contacted me until now. His phone not active”

“You saw him with a woman leaving our building around 10 AM, right?” Seulgi looking at Irene and Eunbi

“Yes”

Seulgi laughed out of the blue. He took his phone, scroll through the phone gallery. Once he found a picture, he showed them “This woman?”

The women nods in unison “Yes, that woman”

“Yah, that woman is his sister. She is Marcella noona or Son Naeun”

“Seriously?”

“Yes, she is older than Seungwan. She come to KS to sign new partnership with KS Technology and KS Property for their pharmaceutical business” Seulgi clean the misunderstanding

Irene shoots a dagger at Seulgi with her eyes. She suddenly grabs Seulgi’s shirt collar and asks scarily “Where do you get her photo?”

Seulgi shivering in fear “I…I got it from our group chat. We have our group chat where we always keep-in-touch with each other. Yoong noona and Sooyoung also join us include Dongwoon hyung” he said

“Sure?”

“Yes, you can check my phone if you don’t trust me”

“Okay, I will check it later” Irene let go of Seulgi shirt

“Unnie is so scary” Eunbi commented after she watched the short drama in front of her “Why does Seungwan oppa not smile to me if that is his sister?” she change topic

“Maybe Seungwan is not ready to introduce you to his family. You two are still not dating. No worries, Seungwan is not playing around. He is far from a playboy character even though he flirts a lot. I can guarantee that” Seulgi stated without hesitation

“Why he not contact me?” Eunbi face frown again

Seulgi remember something “Seungwan prepare for surgery in next few days”

Irene and Eunbi gasped “Is he sick?” Irene ask quickly

“No, let me tell you something about him. Seungwan was originally a medical student. He is supposed to be a neurologist. Do you know that his family owned Kyungwon Hospital?”

“No, he never tell me”

“His family owns that hospital. His mother is professor at SNU medical school and a neurosurgeon. His father is a thoracic surgeon while his brother is an orthopedist. Naeun Noona is CEO of Kyungwon Pharmaceutical and a neurologist. Now Seungwan only a part-time neurologist at Kyungwon”

“Wow, can’t believe that he is actually a neurologist. Impressive!” Irene said proudly

“When I take business studies, Seungwan is doing his medical course. He is a genius and has impressive achievements from medical school. Sadly, he decided to drop out. Currently Seungwan pursues his study in communication through an online programme. He will graduate next year in August if I’m not mistaken. Two years ago he graduate with Master Degree in business economics”

“Seungwan oppa is genius”

“What about you? What course do you take?” Irene asking Seulgi

“MBA and bachelor in international economics and trade”

“Daebak!” the women said proudly

“Why did he decide to be your assistant instead? I mean he can start his own business since he have knowledge in business” Irene wondering

“He said he wants to work with KS. His parents don’t have a problem since our family are close friends. Since I know his capability, I appoint him as my life-time personal assistant and economics advisor. Only Seungwan that I trust to assist me in business. After he stated his interest in business, appa entrusted both of us to run his business in Canada. Seungwan helped me while deepening his knowledge about business. He is a fast learner. I don’t have trouble teaching him. Now Seungwan has a big role in KS. He not only my assistant but a business planner and head of executive assistant”

Seulgi continued “Today until a few days ahead, Seungwan and Naeun noona will assist their mom for her big surgery preparation. Both of them are not involved in surgery since they are not qualified yet. Naeun noona still prepares herself to be a neurosurgeon. They are currently preparing for a big operation to save a man who was involved in a building collapse incident at Suwon. Seungwan will be away during that period. Trust me, Seungwan is a good man. He did not disappear for nothing. Even though he flirts a lot, he is not a player. Seungwan trying his communication skill through flirting” they cackle because of Seulgi’s statement

“I feel awkward if one day he brings me to meet his family. Our social status is completely different” Eunbi pouting

“His family is humble and friendly. Nothing to worry about. His mother will like you for sure. She keeps asking her sons to get married but they are workaholics and ignore her wish to have a daughter-in-law. If she know that Seungwan currently pursuing you, I think she will force him to introduce you to their family” Seulgi and Irene laughing while Eunbi face blushed

“You have more time to prepare. Don't be nervous. Everything will be okay” say Irene “Let continue our forgotten foods before it turn cold” they proceed to eat again while having light conversation

………………

After dinner, Eunbi goes back to her unit. Seulgi is still there drinking coffee that he made for himself. Irene is in her bedroom changing her clothes to pajamas. She come back
