“Don’t worry, I’m all done here in Japan, uncle.” The young man smiled from the other line.

“Really? That’s good then, Saehee needs…someone like you right now.”

He chuckled.

“I heard, has she been overworking herself again?”

“You know her well, she misses you, though she doesn’t admit that she needs your help.”

The man smiled as he spoke to Mr. Jung.

“Then, I’ll be in Korea in a week, uncle.”

Saehee woke up around ten in the evening; she could hear Jackson at the living room. She sat up and checked on Lauren before joining him downstairs.

“I got hungry.” Jackson said sheepishly.

Saehee sighed and sat on the counter as Jackson made himself a sandwich.

“Is…everything fine with Myungsoo?” He asked carefully.

“I..Honestly, I don’t know.” She replied.

“Hm, you need Mark when it comes to emotional stuff,” He almost smiled.

“I think it’s the other way around.” Saehee replied.

“But, you see,” Jackson paused and turned to her.

“I noticed something, nowadays, hyung, he always seems to be..stressed.”

“Stressed? With work?” Saehee grinned, since when was Mark stressed about work?

“No, I think…he’s thinking about something and it’s bothering him.”

“Hmm.” Saehee nodded.

“I think he’s keeping something big inside, he…doesn’t know how to say it.”

Saehee’s brows furrowed.

Jackson was right, she noticed that Mark has been acting strange lately.

“I’ll talk him, don’t worry too much.”

Mark arrived around eleven in the evening at Saehee’s condominium; he parked his car at the lot.

He brought out the bag of snacks he bought for Lauren before heading towards the entrance, then he heard someone call to him.

“Myungsoo.” Mark said in a flat tone.

“Are you happy? All of you lied to me.”

Mark’s jaw clenched. This man before him, had no right to say that.

He had no right at all.

“I should be asking you that, you’ve been hurting Saehee.”

“Saehee? Hurt? How do you think I feel?”

“Honestly, I don’t care how you feel. Hurt her again, then I might not be able to stay still.”

“And this is coming from a friend who has no feelings for her?” Myungsoo grunted.

“That’s true, she’s a friend to me. Feelings or none, I wont stop protecting her.”

“She’s my girl to protect.” Myungsoo almost hissed.

“Yes and not your girl to hurt either.” Mark replied before turning away from him that was all he could do just not to send his fist to the other male’s face.
