Minho married Juniel with reasons. Indeed, he was ually attracted as her femininity turned him on, but that is just it. The girl developed feeling after and tried to persuade him as seen on her gestures. Yet, they are different in so many ways and even if she is nice to him, he could not reciprocate the feeling since he secretly belongs to someone. He saw on her eyes that she is hoping for a real relationship far from that bloodless business marriage they entered. He pitied her thinking it would hurt her soon, particularly his relationship with Yuri. He had taken the role of this play, so he must put some boundary between them.

Minho arrived in condominium at the crack of dawn. He was too tired and drunk that is why he could not return last night. While, Juniel was awake the whole night, weary of being alone. She had constant panics thinking about her husband's safety made it worst for her. Suddenly, the bedroom door was opened and her husband step in silently. Minho passed her thinking she was still sleeping, he went straight to the bathroom. Actually, Juniel was already concious and crying. She had no courage to tell him how much she worried last night.

He just went home to change his clothes before going back to work again. After he bathed, he pulled on his towel and picked up some business attire from the closet. He dressed silently watching his little wife from the corner of his eye. He suddenly caught her small body vibrating underneath the sheet and so he went to pull it down out of concern.

"Juniel." He called her name.

The girl was sulking quietly as she was not responding to him. He impatiently turned her around, only he found out that she was crying. Her eyes were swollen and puffy, as result of lacking sleep. Juniel sniffed back the tears and wiped her face with bare hands. Minho felt bad as he realized he had broken his promise that is why she was tearing up. He took the handkerchief out of his pocket and wiped her tears with it. "I'm sorry." He told her.

She rose up and asked him in a moderate yet quaking tone "Where did you go? Why you didn't call me?"

"Changsung and I had drink last night after office. Sorry, I fell asleep after some mugs of beer." Though Minho apologized, he expected her to give him some nag afterwards.

However Juniel is gullible, she accepted his short explanation even if she got hurt. It is not on her vocabulary to fight back nor to hold grudge against any one who had hurt her. In fact, she was oftentimes bullied and abused because of this trait. She is so defenseless and Minho was fully aware of it.

"By the way I'm going to Vietnam on Monday. I have some projects to deal with. I'll be gone for a while." He informed her, hoping she would be fine about it.

"How long Oppa?" Because of this past days experience, Juniel somehow getting used to it.

"One month."

Being a wife of CFG's vice president, she have to adapt this kind of life. He is too occupied and always on-the-go. She had no option but to understand his work or else she will only get depress more. Although she was actually frustrated, she would rather support him since it was for her company.

"Oppa, let me stay at my mother's house while you're working. I miss mingling with them and my pets too." She asked him, hoping he will allow her request.

"Sure why not. Before your Mama went to State, she reminded me of your school. You have to start make up classes on Monday." Juniel had missed school eversince she was  accidentally shot three months ago.

Minho had to drop Juniel to her mansion where she could spend time with her pets. Awkwardness took in, they barely talk during the ride and the way he held her was less intimate than before. 

"See you Oppa." She told him.

" Yes you too. Bye."

"Bye."

This was the daily routine. Minho always come home very late and had less time to interact with her. For her own good, he refrained his self from touching her eversince after that two steamy nights. Although her body was craving for some more, she did not bother to ask him as it might turn him off again. Evenso, she remained affectionate to him like preparing him foods. Not to disappoint her, he would carry some of her bake to his office and share them to his staffs.

Monday morning, It was Minho's departure to Vietnam and Juniel's resume of classes. The girl chose to be late in order to accompany her husband to the airport. They were fetched by Mrs. Choi Sunhwa's personal driver. Juniel was in her elite uniform while Minho had his casual sweater and jeans. He sat at the front seat besides the driver while she was at the back. While on the road, Juniel felt something strange crawling inside her mind and body. The fact that her Mama is still in U.S. and her husband will go to Vietnam, it made her feeling extremely sad. After her father passed away, she became more and more lonely each time. Even her husband was training him to adapt this new environment, she wishes for some precious time with him like what her father did.

When they reached Incheon airport, Juniel escorted her husband at the entrance.  He already holding his plane ticket and passport, as well as his luggage.  Before parting, Minho kissed Juniel's forehead and embraced her. She embraced him back with much tightness. Although he acted cold lately, she will be missing him definitely. Juniel was already visibly sad last night while she was helping him in packing his things. He knew it is heartbreaking for her to be separated from him but it was his wish. He did not intended to hurt her, only he was teaching her to break slowly away from him.

He released himself from her tight embrace, and told her "Study hard."

"I will Oppa. Take care." She said, looking unhappy at this parting.

"Take care too. Don't worry I'll call you when I get there. Go now, you're already late." He commanded her.

She kissed her husband on his cheek as what she usually do with her loved ones. She hugged him again, this time it is more warm. Minho allowed her that moment, he just hoped it will not spoil his plan.

"Okay, I'll go now."

His wife set him free from her grip and said goodbye.

"You too."

"God Bless Oppa."

Juniel stayed inside terminal until he disappeared from her sight. She went back to the car with some tears on her face. The driver noticed it and cheered her.

"Don't worry Mam. He'll go back soon."

It made the girl smile. "Thank you."

The driver was unaware of Juniel's struggle with her husband recently but he could see on her face that she is somewhat in pain.

The driver dropped her off the school. "Mam Juniel what time will I fetch you later?"

"No need Sir. I already asked someone to pick me up."

"It's Mrs. Sunhwa's command. I have to follow her order Mam."

"But why?" Juniel asked him wondering.

"I heard your mother asked for it."

"I see. Probably at 6 P.M. Sir."

"Okay."

When Mrs. Hasun learned that Minho will go overseas, she contacted Sunhwa to take care of her daughter for the meantime. She could not go back immediately as her sister got asthma attack while they were touring at some spot in ia. Although, Juniel would rather stay in the mansion with her housemates, she agreed to her mother's request for her protection too. Meanwhile, Sulli had no idea that Juniel is set to live under the same roof with her. Juniel's naive mind did not realize that soon this might spark trouble between them.
