SEO Hyun sipped her coffee as she was in nearby restaurant with Kyuhyun sat at the opposite site. He who didn't take his eyes off from her, waiting patiently for Seo Hyun to explain everything to him. The news about her secret marriage that he only found out through her husband really disappointed him. They had been friend for five years, yet she still liked to hid this kind of matter from him. A heavy sigh escaped from as she threw her sight outside the restaurant. After the night in hotel, Seo Hyun didn't see Yong Hwa for three days because he directly flew to Japan without returning home first.

     “Seo Hyun, why you hide such important matter from me? We are friend, aren't we?” Seo Hyun bit her lip as she could sense his disappointment through his voice, but she had a strong reason to do so. She didn't want Kyuhyun found out the past that she tried to hide from everyone, including Yong Hwa.

     “I'm sorry for hiding my marriage from you, Kyuhyun. But thing isn't easy as you think. It's very complicated for me to explain it right now. Please understand me,” she pleaded for understanding, not more than it. She was tired enough to avoid from talking about past, yet she couldn't simply reveal everything when it would cause people around her to get hurt even more.

     “But you never once mentioned about him as well Jung family. That was why I surprised when he introduced himself as your husband,” Kyuhyun still eager to know about her past before she moved to Japan as the exchanged student five years ago. Seo Hyun knew him well, and he wouldn't stop asking if she didn't tell him something about it.

     “Okay, I met my husband 7 years ago, but we were apart for 5 years due to some reasons. Are you satisfy now?! Please Kyuhyun, don't ask me more about it,” her slightly mad tone realized Kyuhyun that he had urged her to tell something that she didn't want to talk about, but he couldn't help not to know her past with Yong Hwa. He felt sorry when she seemed irritated with his action just now.

      “Alright, I won't force you, but did your mother know about this?” sigh escaped from his throat after saw she shook her head, but he tried to understand that she must have a strong reason to do so.

     “No, so can you please keep it as a secret. I will tell her when the time comes,” she looked at him with pleading eyes. Why she wanted badly to hide this marriage from everyone?! Was she actually had been forced into this marriage? Kyuhyun didn't want to make any conclusion without knowing the real story of it.

     “I got it,”

     “Thanks Kyuhyun,” she said in relief. How could she tell him that her marriage wasn't based on love? It was something she needed to pay for the sin she had committed toward her husband. She absolutely couldn't tell him about it.

MR.Jung crossed his legs as his eyes fixed on his assistant's face. Mr.Park was here to inform the result obtained from the investigation that had been done for past few weeks. Although the result couldn't solve everything at one time, but at least it would reveal the secret little by little.

     “Mrs.Hyebin didn't lie about Seo Hyun received the money from her. I had checked her account, and there is still large amount of money left in her account.

Because of that, he tried to search her in all possible universities in China, Korea, and Japan. Mr.Jun
