"Oppa!"

Sandara called excitedly from the stairs as she jumped the remaining ones and happily ran towards her newly arrived big brother.

The older guy welcomed the running brunette in his arms and carried his light sister happily as well, before giving a nod of acknowledgment to the standing in the corner Jiyong.

The young raven-haired lad bowed in respect in return.

"You came back! I'm so glad! I miss you, you know!" Sandara said loudly, happiness beaming in her eyes, still clinging to him. She sure misses him.

The guy just smiled as he pats Sandara's hair playfully. "The business is getting tough, little rabbit. I have to fix them. You know that, right?"

Sandara pouted at the mention of this. "You are always out, oppa. I always misses you. You don't miss me even a bit, do you?"

The guy remained smiling as he now looked at Jiyong knowingly. "I need to fix some problems, little rabbit. I want that by the time you take over the company, it's already fix and less work for you.

The guy laughed and can only ruffled her hair gently now. "No. I promised your parents to give you a good future. Even I'm just your adopted brother, I want to give the best for you." he then glanced at Jiyong. "Right, Jiyong?" he asked her silent dongsaeng.

Sandara looked at them and saw how the two men exchanges looks before Jiyong curtly nodded at her older brother.

"Ne,...young master." Jiyong answered respectfully before he looked down after, like he was hiding something from him.

Sandara looked back to her brother and saw how a mysterious smile formed on her brother's lips.

What was that? She thought.
