“Omo! Mr. Yi Jeong, who is she?” “Miss, who are you to Mr. So Yi Jeong? Are you his girlfriend? “Mr. Yi Jeong is it true you’re sticking to one only now?”- The couple felt ecstatic to have such reaction from the crowd

“Oh dear, let’s go fast”-Ga Eul whispers at the passive Yi Jeong still holding her by the waist

“Weoyo? Something wrong Sunbae?”-Ga Eul asks in curiosity

“Jammkamman”-Yi Jeong turn to the crowd and grabs Ga Eul’s hand and raised it

“She’s my girlfriend and we’re engaged see?”-He boastfully shows the ring he wore it to her as she grins which made Ga Eul almost faint as she stares at Yi Jeong only dying of embarrassment and the crowd goes crazy!

After the crazy welcome for the sweet So-Eul couple, their car moves away as the 3^rd car arrives inside the only son of the Song Household Song Woo Bin, the Don Juan comes out and offers his hand for his secret lover Ha Jae Kyung---

As soon as they got out flashes again and loud chatter from the group---

“Whoa, isn’t that the ex-fiancée of Jun Pyo?!” “Waa! This is huge!” “Are they dating?!” “Mr. Song please look here!” “Ms. Jae Kyung! Are you dating?!” “Are you in a good relationship with the Gu’s?-the questions confused Jae Kyung at first but shrugs it only

“These guys are always annoying~~”-Jae Kyung mumbles as she walks the carpet hand to hand with Woo Bin

“Hehe, you and me both”-Woo Bin smirks as they pose a bit and ignores the excited chatters from the crowd

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They left the runway and got inside silently filled with smiles and a bit of annoyance hehe--- after the car of the Jae-Bin couple left the last but not the least arrives~~ everyone anticipates as they await for the last guests to appear of the evening~~

“I know it’ll be—just nervous, never get to used on huge functions”-Hae Jin just smiles at him sighing

“Well, let’s not make them wait forever---…”-Ji Hoo tugs her hand as he knocks on the door for the guard to open it

As they got out, Ji Hoo came out first depicting his passive expression and takes Hae Jin’s hand to his and got out comfortably….

Flash! Flash! Chatter here and there can be heard from the crowd

“Yoon Ji Hoo, Saranghe!!” “Ms. Song how does it feel to return to your home?!” “Mr. Yoon, is she a friend only?” “What’s your relationship?!”-The crowd goes crazy at them

“Yah! Bicheoseo! Let her have it will ya”-Woo Bin nudges his girlfriend to stop being so childish, then she gave in

“Going once? Going twice? Sold! To Mrs.?-Hae Jin asks at one of the organizers and one of them whispered to her something

“Oh really? Okay, the good hearted bidder does not wish to be named… will then thank you and please claim your items after the event, the next item?”-Hae Jin

As the evening deepens the auction continues~~ 10 items have been sold already and there are only two items left to be auctioned for the night

“Okay the 2^nd to the last item for the night will be the next one to be auctioned okay?”-Hae Jin bubbly announce as she winks at Yi Jeong and the others

“What is she onto this time?”-Jun Pyo mumbles as soon as he noticed Hae Jin’s playful gesture

“The next item, is something specially made by one of my good friends who is here today; I consider her as an unnie already--- she made this item long before we met, she studied pottery because of her boyfriend to prove something, and I think that’s sweet next item---.”-Hae Jin explains as she takes off the cloth

The group looks at each other and the most reddish girl of the bunch almost faint of embarrassment~~

“Its entitle “Beginning” this object is titled that way because this is the very first piece she successfully made for her fiancée, Chu Ga Eul to Mr. So Yi Jeong”-Hae Ji points at across the floor where the group settles and everyone claps in unison for them

While everyone is too caught up of the scene across the floor too behind the pillars a guy was standing waiting for the opportune moment~~

“Childish~”-He smirks as he plays with the rose in his hands and playfully bits the black card in his hand

“Okay the bid starts at 15 billion won”-Hae Jin

“I!”-A old man raises his card

“First bidder for 15 billion!”-Hae Jin

“Me!”-A young girl bids twice

“25 billion from her”-Hae Jin

“Here!”-A bald guy bid twice

“35 billion from him!”-Hae Jin

“Woah, 35 billion? My piece is worth 35 billion? It’s only made out of clay?!”-Ga Eul who’s still dumfounded of the situation occurring

“Watch this Ga Eul-Ah”-Yi Jeong whispers

“I Bid 50 billion for that item there!”-Yi Jeong raises his card and shouts

“Whoa, okay--- going once?”-Hae Jin

“Yah, Sunbae, what are you doing? We put it on the bid now you’re buying it?”-Ga Eul surprised and confused tugs at Yi Jeong’s sleeves

“Your piece, to be honest is pricier than the price I’m bidding besides, that piece was always supposed to be mine right?”-Yi Jeong faces Ga Eul and smiles at her, she hugs him there

“Gomowo, Sunbae”-She whispers to him

“Going twice…. Sold! To Mr. So Yi Jeong, congratulations”-Hae Jin smiles at them

“Next item, is very special to me; I painted this when I was about 9-10 years old when I was still living here before I left for the states… next item entitled is “Family”-Hae Jin lifts the cloth up and reveals a simple painting yet very meaningful, her image on the center surrounded by her beloved friends the F4

“it doesn’t look like it’s painted by a 10 year old”-Jan Di exclaims as she stares at the painting

“Omo, Sunbae, that painting is sort of very special to Hae Jin then”-Ga Eul reacts

“Then why is she selling it?”-Jae Kyung curious as well

“Don’t understand”-Woo Bin tilts his head curious as to why Hae Jin would let go such a precious possession

“To move on from the past~~”-Ji Hoo just calmly states while everyone looks at him in awe

“What am I not the shrink?”-Ji Hoo raises his brow

“My Bid starts at 100 billion won”-Hae Jin raises her brow as she boastfully announce the price everyone looks at each other

“Bwo?!”-Jan Di almost choked from drinking her third champagne glass

“Who would buy a simple painting in a 100 billion won?!”-Ga Eul shrieks

The guys just laugh in amusement

“What’s funny? What if no one buys it?”-Jae Kyung asks

“Exactly! No one will buy it, that means, she won’t have to give it to anyone”-Jun Pyo barely speaks the words without laughing

“Hey! We still have to do something”-Yi Jeong says to them

“Right, let me do that”-Ji Hoo smiles

“Here!”-he raises his card to bid

Hae Jin at first couldn’t day something seemed moved and surprised of the gesture

“Will a bid from Mr. Yoon Ji Hoo! No one else? Going once? Going twice? Then it’s---.”Hae Jin was about to announce

“I Bid 300 million”-as if on cue the crowd splits in half to give way to the guy who shouted and everyone fell on silence

“300 million--- in us dollars”-The guy walks forward with his other hand raised by a black card and the other a red rose

“I’m sorry?”-Hae Jin just says that confused and can barely see the image of the guy talking because of the lighting

After a few awkward moment

“Ms. Hae Jin!”-The organizers mouthed her from the stage

“Oh! Okay bid of 300 million us dollars going once?”-Hae Jin looks at Ji Hoo who was about to raise his card but she shakes her head in a no

“Going twice?”-Hae Jin

“Who’s that punk?”-Woo Bin annoying asks as he tries to see who it is

“He must be that rich”-Jae Kyung mumbles

Ji Hoo who’s in front of anyone else was able to see who it is he stares at the guy whose eyes only stares at Hae Jin onstage. He them mumbles

“It can’t be him”-He stares at him again and the guy turns his head to Ji Hoo and smiles at him wickedly and went back to Hae Jin’s image… Ji Hoo makes fists of his hands

“Yah, Yoon Ji Hoo gwenchana?”-Yi Jeong asks

“Then, sold! For 300 million us dollars to the young man over there; thank you everyone for participating, enjoy the rest of the evening, and to all winning bidders congratulations and please claims your prized items to the organizers”-Hae Jin concludes the event and bows after the claps and congratulates she then gets off the stage and walks toward her friends

“Congrats! Hae Jin-Sshii, you did well!”-Jae Kyung hugs her tightly and Jan Di and Ga Eul did the same thing as well

“Whoa! Runny nose you did it!”-Jun Pyo then messes her hair again playfully

“Yah    ! Oppa I told you not to call me that again!”-Hae Jin pouts as she tries to get away from Jun Pyo’s tease

“We’re proud of you Song Hae Jin”-Yi Jeong smiles as he pats her shoulders

“You did awesome”-Ji Hoo did the same thing

“Thanks everyone”-Hae Jin smiles

“Excuse me Ms. Hae Jin, someone want to meet you”-One of the organizers approached them

“Ah, who is it?”-Hae Jin asks

“Oh, he’s the bidder who won over Mr. Yoon’s bid for your painting”-Organizer

“Ah, Chinja? Sure”-Hae Jin immediately agreed but it seems on queue the atmosphere became heavy

After that the organizer move back and revealed the man who’s been standing behind the organizer the whole time he moved forward

“Hello, Ms Hae Jin”-The deep voice of the guy echoes to everyone’s ear

“Wait--...”-Jun Pyo moves forward as well

“Mr. Nobunaga?”-Jun Pyo exclaims and the guy just nods

“Ms Hae Jin my name’s Na Hyun Nobunaga… I’m Mr. Jun Pyo’s associate”-He offers his hand and Hae reluctantly accepts, which made Ji Hoo throw dagger eyes on him

“Pleasure to meet you, Mr. Nobunaga--- you seem awfully familiar, have we met before?”-Hae Jin unknowingly blurts out, remembering some events

“Oh, I get that a lot, the pleasure all mine to meet you of course, for you”-Na Hyun gives the rose to her but not before smelling the rose as if kissing it first before giving it

A few awkward seconds~~

“Well I must leave, I have to attend something, good evening everyone”-Na Hyun bows politely and walks to eave but stops in front of Ji Hoo and gave him an annoying smirk, as he leaves everyone was dumbfounded

“He awfully looks like---.,..”-Yi Jeong was about to say it

“He’s not, already made a background check….”-Jun Pyo continues

“Well, they look alike but totally different”-Ji Hoo states in a serious tone’ “Exactly that guy’s like a douche man”-Woo Bin swears

“I’m hungry”-Jan Di pouts at Jun Pyo which made the guy grin

“Well, let’s eat then!”-Hae Jin bubbly says as the group went to the other room for the reception …

Meanwhile Outside the Venue----

As soon as Na Hyun made it outside he looks back to the group from the outside seeing them laugh at each other made him annoyed

“Young Master…”-Na Hyun’s secretary opens the passenger door for him and he got inside and meet someone

“Did you succeed”-A lower voice than him asks Na Hyun

“Yes, Father----…”-Na Hyun answers while grabbing the wine glass from the limo’s compact fridge

“Yes, Son?”-He answers back

“I have not ask anything from you ever, but this---- I want her, no one else”-Na Hyun says as he takes a sip from the glass

“She’s a Song”-His Father replies

“Then that means she’s perfect then”-Na Hyun Smirks as he smells the aroma of the wine

“Well, then your wish will be granted for now let’s go home”-His Father states

“Of Course”-Na Hyun responds

They ordered the driver to leave, as soon as they left~~ the group enjoyed the rest of the evening for themselves not knowing what started that evening~~
