Minho was interviewed by a local trade journalist on the recent partnership with 10 Vietnamese banks. The conglomerate company's alliance with VCB (Vietnam Commercial Bank) is due to their expansion plans and widely local operations in the said country. After the interview, he immediately head back to the main office to track JSB's daily services inventory. While verifying the inventory reports, the secretary came in.

"Sorry Sir for disturbing. There's someone out there looking for you."

"Who is it?"

"Her name is Yuri."

"What?!" The paper fell out of Minho's grip as his eyes widen. He did not expect his girlfriend to follow him in Vietnam. He wondered how did she knew his location too. Just yesterday when they talked over the phone and he thought that Yuri clearly understand his intention."I'll meet her outside."

"Okay, Sir."

He hurriedly filed his documents and put on his black jacket. 

"Minho." Yuri seemed perturbed yet stunning. She was wearing her red one-shoulder mini dress with same colored high heels. With her long flowing waves hair and s-line figure, it looks like she came straight from the runway. Minho could not resist the allure she was giving.

"We need to talk outside." He asked her and she agreed. He brought her to a deserted park nearby preventing someone to see them. 

"What happened?" 

"I resigned from work." 

"Why? I thought you're already satisfied with your contract in this agency." 

"Maybe but part of me regrets it. I'm missing you so badly Minho-shi. I feel I could no longer live without you." She said it seriously.

Minho gulped, thinking on what to say. It has been a month since they last saw each other that is why she is feeling uneasiness. He did not notice the time due to his work. But he managed to call her as often as he can.

"CFG had just takeover JSB and I'm burdened with too much pressure from it. Also with Juniel. My relatives entrusted me their company because of their daughter. It isn't easy to divorce her this early as it will cause a commotion between us." He explained. Choi Hasun recently had transferred her deceased husband's share in Minho's account. Also she already passed him his late Uncle Sungho's 45% wealth and properties as being Juniel's husband. This is a wrong timing for divorcing Juniel as it would make him a traitor. "Though I'm slowly distancing myself from her."

"I'm getting some bad hunch with this marriage. The more you stay with her, the more we're getting apart."

"I'm trying my best not to that's why I'm here in Vietnam." He told her. Minho is a one woman man and Yuri knows that. He cherises her eversince up to now. He sticks with his rule in spite of his marriage with his cousin.

"I'm glad to know that." His statement made her calm a bit.

"Go, find another agency." He commanded her.

"I won't. It's my decision. I want to transfer in Seoul."

"Why now?" He had long wished to live with Yuri in Seoul but hopefully not this time the fact that he is still committed with Juniel. 

He was apparently opposing her plan. "You promised me you won't leave me and will protect me. I don't want to be separated from you."

"We'll be in trouble if my parents and Aunt Hasun found out that we're still connected. I won't let them discover that this relationship is the factor why I'm going to divorce Juniel." Minho was protecting Yuri that is why he said that.

"I promise I won't make trouble. I just want to be near you. I'll wait for the right time." She begged him. What matter for her is he will not leave her.

Minho drove Yuri to the hotel where she was checked in after their reunion. While she was in Vietnam, he spent his free time to tour her to some beautiful places there and they both enjoyed it. Even she tempted him, he chose to abstain from  still respecting his marriage with Juniel. Though Yuri is his true love, Juniel is still his wife. Until he divorce the girl, this extra-marital relationship is forbidden unless they want some trouble. However, he extended his stay in Vietnam as well as his tasks were still unfinished.

After a month taking care of her asthmatic sister, Mrs. Hasun went back from States that made her longing daughter so excited. Granting Sulli's request, Juniel moved back to her manion and spent most of her time there waiting for her husband. Minho occasionally called her just to check if she is alright. Her waiting for him seems like a hundred years and still uncertain on when he will return. Eight weeks had passed, Juniel became easily tired and frequently had abdominal cramps and headaches. She also had morning sickness and tends to vomit some foods she usually eats. It was odd that she became picky with foods and being moody at times. Even if she was experiencing this weird condition, she did not tell this to her mother.

Finally, after spending months in Vietnam, Minho decided to come back to Seoul. He departed from Da Nang International Airport first then Yuri followed him with a separate flight schedule. She wanted to pusue her career in Korea to be near him. They both agreed on a condition that she will not disturb his marriage with Juniel.

Minho did not inform his wife that he will be coming and it was his mother who told the girl. Juniel excitedly packed her clothes after hearing it. At last, she will be seeing him again! She brought with her some home made pastries she made and her cute pomeranian pet to cuddle with whenever her husband is at office. 

After arrival, Minho quickly contacted his friend who is an owner of another condominium building little far from his location to reserve some unit for Yuri. He wanted to secure his girlfriend in her stay in Seoul. He suddenly felt his body needed some rest after having jet lag so he drove himself directly to his condo at Incheon. When he entered the unit, dusts gathered around.  Juniel did not stay there so it was obvious that the room was covered with dirt and mess. When he checked out the bedroom, he saw a blood stain on the sheet. It was Juniel's. He recalled the first time they made love as her innocence still lingers on the bed. 

After a minute, the doorbell rang and he knew it was Juniel. She was accompanied by an old family driver, bringing some of her luggage and a pet's cage. When the door opened, his smiling little wife appeared. "Hello Oppa." She greeted him adorably while wearing her pink retro dress. Minho noticed she got paler skin and had lost weight comparing last time. Her cute chubby cheeks had sogged.

"Hello." He was lesser enthusiastic than she but seeing her in that state made him a bit worried for her.

Minho's goodlooks had not change. Juniel held his hand quickly, expressing how much she missed him.

"Good afternoon Sir. I'm bringing again Juniel's things." The old driver greeted him.

"Okay. Let it in."

As the driver pulling her luggage inside, Minho saw the dog in the cage. He asked her with disapproval "Why did you bring your puppy here?"

"He will be joining us." His wife replied while carrying the cage.

"Send it back. I don't want some smelly pet here."

"But I always bathe chimmy." It is her puppy's name. The same dog whom she fed the day he proposed to her. Juniel brought her puppy to be with her while Minho is at work.

"Who will clean if it'll poop here?" Minho never enjoys the company of animals inside the house. He is not scared nor having allergy with them. It is just he dislikes their odor and mess.

"Oppa please." Juniel begged her husband to allow her, the puppy is her best companion to kill boredom.

"Stop it. Send it back or I will leave instead." Minho's options frightened her, Juniel had no choice but to obey her husband. With a heavy heart, she kissed chimmy goodbye. The old driver carried chimmy with him, sending him back to the mansion.
