Alright, first of all before you read my update, i need to apologize for the LONG, LONG, LONG wait in chapters!

First, my daughter got bronchitis! It was really, really bad, so I had to devote all my attention to her. Then to top it all off, just a few days ago, I sprained my ankle. Yah, now I know that my family is not as graceful as they spout. *sigh*, even though i'm basically cripple, kids are out of school so I'm being the cool aunty and baby sitting nephews, nieces, while in the meantime I have my own kids to attend to. I will try and update as much as I can on my free time. Please continue to support this story, along with other two I have running also.

I love you guys <3

Hoku watched as TOP and Crystal drove away that night, before turning to the empty house. For some reason, for the first time since she had moved it, in was creepy to be alone. Hesitantly she shut the door and then walked into the living room where Elle had been asleep in the bouncer on the ground. Picking up the used cups and napkins she walked into the kitchen and threw them into the sink to clean. While cleaning she had the sudden feeling she was being watched. The hairs on the back of her neck stood up before she had a cold chill run down her spine. Hesitantly she looked up through the window above the sink to the road below to see someone standing across the street under the streetlight. She hesitantly kept her stare on the unusual person, unsure if they were even looking at her before they turned and walked away. No matter how weird that was, it scared her for some reason.

“Sorry.” A voice suddenly said causing her to scream and throw the tea cup she had been washing into the air, shattering to the ground as she her heels terrified to see a confused and surprised Jiyong standing behind her with a bouquet of her favorite gardenia’s.

“God dammit Jiyong!” She shouted annoyed holding her chest from the very, and I mean, very close heart attacking she almost experienced.

“S-sorry.” Was all he could say, unsure as to what exactly to say. He had shut the front door loud enough for her to hear him coming but why was she so jumpy. Hoku growled at him, ignoring the flowers still sitting in his hand before bending down to clean up the shattered glass all over the ground.

“Hey, let me get that.” Jiyong finally got his senses back, placing the flowers onto the counter before bending over to help her.

“No. I got it.” She mentioned in monotone before hissing as a piece of glass took a slice at her thumb. She immediately retracted her hand and hissed as the blood began overflowing from the wound.

“Ya! I told you, let me do it.” Jiyong whined reaching over the counter for a napkin to hold onto her thumb.

“Come on, let’s clean that up first.” Jiyong scolded grabbing her good hand before pulling her down the hallway towards the bathroom where the first aid kit was sitting.

“Sit down.” He commanded pointing to the toilet as Hoku nodded and did what she was told. Jiyong dug under the sink for it before finding it, taking a seat in front of Hoku.

“Give me your hand.” He added while she stuck her hand out towards him.

“Jiyong, you don’t have to. It’s like a paper cut.” Hoku whined as he pulled the napkin off to slip a Band-Aid on it.

“Paper cut. Pffft. Says the person who can’t afford to lose any more blood.” Jiyong retracted her comment back.

“There.” He said throwing the trash into the trash bin next to the toilet before putting the kit back.

They walked back into the living room area where Jiyong immediately went to his daughters side, smiling at her sleeping figure.

“How long has she been asleep?” He asked as Hoku continued her journey to the kitchen.

“About 20 minutes.” Hoku answered, smartly grabbing a broom and dustpan to clean the mess.

~Yo, you got a call!~ ~Yo, you got a call!~

A phone could be heard ringing.

“Can you get that?!” Hoku shouted looking down at the tray she had been washing in the sink.

Jiyong sighed standing from his spot on the couch before walking over to the entryway where Hoku’s purse still sat. Digging through it, he pulled it out to see YG’s number blinking on the screen. He quickly answered, unsure about the reason.

“Hello?”
“Oh Jiyong, is Hoku-ah available?” YG then asked as Jiyong turned to look over his shoulder to see Hoku walking out of the kitchen towards him.

“Um yah. Hold on.” He answered pulling the phone away from his ear to hold out for her.

“It’s YG.” He mentioned as she blinked in confusion, walking over before taking it from him.

“Hello?” She asked confused walking into the living room with Jiyong on her tail.

“Ah Hoku-ah! How are you?!” He asked cheerfully as she laughed uncomfortably.

“I’m fine sir.” She answered.

“That’s good to hear.”
“Um sir, is there a reason you called or are you just checking on me?” She asked confused.

“There is a reason. It’s about the Anniversary Festival I was talking to you about in the hospital.” He pointed out striking her interest.

“Ah yes, isn’t that in like 2 weeks?” She asked unsure.

“It was supposed to but with Steph and Daesung’s wedding being a few days before that, and the lack of organization on our part, I decided to hold it off till the middle of next month. Give fans time to plan and us time to get things prepared.” He answered as he nodded.

“But I need a favor from you Hoku-ah.” His tone turned serious.

“Yes sir.”

“We’re going to have a meeting tomorrow morning with the festival committee and I would like to you to be there to oversee things.” He pointed out as her eyes shot open slightly before she turned to Jiyong.

“Tomorrow morning?” She asked uncertain.

“Yes, 8am. We want to get everything planned out, get everything settled so we can make a definitely announcement about the festival to all net sites, fan clubs, including yours by tomorrow night.” He explained causing Hoku to massage her head.

“What about my daughter sir? I can’t bring her.” Hoku pointed out looking to window in front of her.

“Jiyong is off tomorrow, have him watch her.” He answered as Hoku sighed. She always had a hard time telling YG no, so it wasn’t like it was easy to say no this time either.

“I’ll be there, somehow.” Hoku answered.

“That’s great. I really want your help and input on this festival. We’ve never done something this big for their anniversary before.” He explained as she nodded looking down to her sleeping daughter.

“So what’s up?” Jiyong asked once she hung up.

“You’re babysitting tomorrow.” She answered standing up and stretching.

“I’m what?” He asked nervously as she picked up the sleeping child from the bouncer and walked down the hallway to her room.

“Invite the others over to help you if you must, but YG wants me at a meeting in the morning.” Hoku explained quietly placing her daughter into her crib.

“Meeting about what?” Jiyong asked after Hoku had shut the room door.

“Your Anniversary Festival.”
