Please Subscribe to read the full chapter

Few days after returning from vacation, Seulgi and his family lounge in the living room. Jimin is watching a cartoon, Irene is reading a magazine while Seulgi is checking a report on his ipad. Suddenly Seulgi's phone vibrated on the coffee table. It is a text from Jisoo confirming their meeting on the weekend. Seulgi does not tell Irene about the meeting but she is smart. She checking Seulgi’s phone when he go to toilet so she know about Seulgi will meet with Jisoo

…………..

“Seulgi”

“Hey” Seulgi greet Jisoo with awkward smile

Jisoo immediately hugging Seulgi but he not react “Jisoo, don’t do this”

“Sorry” Jisoo said and pulled back “Seul, do you hate me?”

“Why would I hate you?”

“Because I hurt you badly”

“I forgive you already. Don’t worry, I’m not hate you” Seulgi said

“Do you really get over me?” Jisoo looked at Seulgi expressionless face

“What about yourself?” Seulgi crossed his arm

“Answer my question first, don’t questioned me back”

“I moved on” Seulgi answer honestly

Jisoo sighed “To be honest, I still can’t get over you. It is nonsense right? Because we already separated for 7 years and now you already have your little family, you found the women that have the characters that all men dreamed for and an adorable child. Maybe you already moved on but I’m not yet, Seul. I thought that I forgot you already but the day you showed up, I felt everything goes wrong, really wrong. I’m still deeply in love with you. I’m hurt when I see you came with Irene but a little part of me, I’m happy because you are happy with her. When we stay together under one roof, I stupidly imagine that it’s me who takes care of your needs, not Irene. However, I realized it was just my daydream. I’ll never have a chance to do it”

“I hope you can forget me. One day you’ll meet someone who you deserve. Sooner or later, you’ll find your happiness”

“Thanks for the wish. I also hope that you’ll live happily with Irene and your kids. I know she’s the best for you. As a woman, I can see how much she loves you. I’m happy that you’re in safe hands after the thunderstorm in your life” Jisoo paused “By the way, can we start again as best friends?”

“Aren’t we friends already?”

“Things still feel awkward whenever we gather. After this, I hope there will be no more awkwardness around us. Let’s interact with each other like friends did. No more awkward, no more romantic feeling…just friend who always available for each other like we did with our friends”

Seulgi smiles and nods his head “Sure thing, let’s begin a new book as a good friend. Let support each other like friends did”

“So…best friend?” Jisoo hold out her hand

“Yup, best friend” both of them shake hand

Unbeknownst to them, a few pairs of eyes witnessed their interaction from the roadside. Irene, Sooyoung, Yerim and Jennie are watching Jisoo and Seulgi from Sooyoung’s car. They hang out at the nearby shopping mall because today Irene is bored at home. She calls the girls to ask if they are free. In the end, only Yerim and Jennie who’re available while the rest are busy working. Sooyoung was dragged by Yerim because he had nothing to do at home. Coincidentally they stop at ice cream shop near the park because Jennie want to buy ice cream so they witness Seulgi and Jisoo meeting

“So they are meeting for closure today? Jisoonie don’t tell me that she will meet with Seulgi oppa” said Jennie

“Why would she tell you? You already moved out so you don’t need to know. Moved back to your parents house so that we have more gossip stock” Yerim teasing Jennie

“No way will I leave my hubby. Besides, our son will move to Seoul next month so we’re preparing to welcome him. Hubby already cleared a bedroom for him just in case Ashton sleepovers at our place. There are so many kids' stuff in my online shopping cart. I’m shocked seeing those stuff because I don’t know when hubby searching for those items”

Irene, Yerim and Sooyoung laughing “Chaeng is really excited to welcome his son”

“True, we already meet the teacher to register Ashton’s name”

“That was fast”

“Now only Jisoo unnie doesn't have a partner. She will be alone if we gather” said Yerim

“Is there no one who gain her attention?” asked Irene

“A lot of guy try to court her but she’s still in moving on process so she not accept them” Jennie answered

“Love, do you know someone who we can recommend to unnie?” Yerim nudging Sooyoung’s shoulder

Sooyoung tapped his chin then he snapped his finger “I have someone in mind!”

“Who is it?”

“That must be a nice person. Don’t introduce her a bad guy, I’ll punch your face” Jennie intimidating Sooyoung with her eyes

“Calm down, girls. There is someone I know who is currently single and available on the market. He is nice, humble and has a good sense of humor. We have known each other for a long time since we were in university and now we’re business colleagues. That friend is also hardworking and a family man. I can guarantee he is the best candidate. If everyone agrees, I can try to set up their meeting. Currently, he is the only person in my mind because I confident that he is the good match for noona”

“I bet he is not Korean. You don’t have many Korean friends” said Yerim

“Yes, he’s not local. He is a Thai man. We met in Singapore, took the same course and became close friends until now. Now we’re business partner”

Irene's eyes turn wide. “Yah, is it Manoban?”

“Yep” Sooyoung wiggle his eyebrows

“Unnie, you know that guy too?”

“Yes, I and Seulgi met him several times when we went to Singapore and Thailand. He also used to visit our house when he and Sooyoung went to Japan. Jimin called him Uncle Lio since that time he couldn't pronounce the letter R properly. Limario is a good man, I can guarantee that. He spent his youth working in his restaurant because it is his passion. He travels to every part of the world to learn new recipes. Now he has five restaurant branches in Asia, one in Europe and two in America, not yet entering South Korea but soon will be. He never have time to date so I can guarantee if Jisoo date him, she will be his first love” Irene explained

“Noona is right. Limario said that he wants to focus more on his love life since he is old enough to find a life partner. Besides, his business is successful so he wants to give attention to his personal matters. Since now Limario wants a partner and Jisoo noona is also single, not bad if we try to introduce them to each other. Who knows if they found compatibility? What do you think, Jen? Do you agree?”

Jennie nods her head without hesitation “Since you and unnie have a good impression on that Limario guy, I have no reason to disagree. I know you guys will not recommend a bad person. I just hope unnie wants to open her heart for another man since now she and Seul oppa already close their book properly. I want her to have someone who can always be there for her too. Unnie sometimes looked so lonely”

“Yeah, not bad if they try” add Yerim

“Limario is a devote type. He will do his best to make someone he loves to be happy. He is very nice to us, especially Jimin. I bet he will do more for his future wife” say Irene

“Since you all agree, Limario will come to my and Yerim wedding. Let’s make them meet. Tell the others about this but not to noona. Let surprise her”

“Call!”

……………..

Irene and Seulgi are cuddling on the couch in the living room, watching TV at night. Jimin is upstairs so no one disturbing their quality time

“Mommy~”

“Hm?” Irene comfortably resting her head on Seulgi’s chest

“I already met with Jisoo yesterday and we both agree to become a best friend”

“That’s good then. Now both of you don’t have any other connection except as friends, right?”

“Yup, now you’re the only woman in my heart”

“I love you, papa”

“I love you too, mommy” they kiss each other on the lips “Shall we prepare for our wedding?”

“Yes, but after Yerim and Sooyoung. I want our wedding held in Tokyo. Just a simple ceremony, only our family and friends. Don’t waste money on grand wedding”

“Okay baby, anything for you. When we go back, we will begin prepare for our wedding”

“I’ll ask Mina, Momo and Sana to help us”

“That’s right. We can hire them to be our wedding organizer”

“Seulgi-aa~”

“Yup”

“When I met with Jennie, Yerim and Sooyoung, we talked about introducing someone to Jisoo. We feel sorry because she’s the only one who will be lonely when we gather”

Seulgi nods his head “Do you guys have someone in mind?”

“Sooyoung and I recommend Limario”

“Limario Manoban?!” Irene nods her head “He’s a good candidate”

“I know right. Rio is a good man. They will make a good couple if they are together”

“Manoban single for too long. I doubt if he know how to date” both of them laughing

“I worry if Jisoo not agree” said Irene

“Let Rio slowly approach her, gain her atten
