“I can’t believe I am doing this,” Hyeon complained thousands of times as she followed the GPS command and turned left headed for the 106 freeway. The lie she had constructed needed to be carried all the way through. She needs some type of proof not to prove to Jessica but to herself that what she sensed was real and not some delusion caused by the presence of a sudden shirtless man. The Thursday night she spent trying to convince Jessica, who didn’t buy any of the nonsense Hyeon was going on about was wasteful and had left her even more confused about if what she saw was real.

 

“ They don’t look related to me,” Jessica, who had just arrived home and has been arguing with Hyeon about the relationship between Jae and Mrs park, went on honestly stating her opinion as she glanced at the photo of lay and Mrs park again. Hyeon, who has been waiting for Jessica to land back in Soul before she spoke about what she witnessed to another soul, was busy describing the feeling and what she saw.

“ They both have dimples.”

“ It’s not just that, Jessica” “ They look so similar when they smile,” Hyeon closing the door behind, added.

“ She was hugging him, as she knew him for so long” Hyeon helped Jessica take her coat off hanged up on the coat hanger on the wall.

“ He doesn’t let people touch him. You know that,” She added as Jessica, who couldn’t quite make out what Hyeon's obsession with Jae and her non-stop mention of his name for the last hour, means.

 

Hyeon asked, focusing on Jessica heading to the kitchen sink and the fridge. She needs a drink.

 

“ She had a daughter. The kid was pronounced dead in the hospital, and they had a burial ceremony and all” Jessica washing her hands, stated the fact that Hyeon had used to let go of even the hint of Mrs park being Jae’s mother. That wasn’t that question, and it has never been what Hyeon assumed. Her assumption has been that there was some type of relation.

“Maybe she is his aunt or something” Hyeon dropped all her bags and files on the counter headed to the kitchen as well.

“ Hyeon” Jessica turned back, gave her friend a look

“What is this really about?” she asked, folding her arms.

“ I swear to God if you saw what I saw, you would be freaking out,” Hyeon repeated how she was basing all this hypothesis on a feeling.

 

“Maybe you were confusing your feeling of seeing him , “ Jessica pulling the fridge open and pulling out the cold beer, winked at Hyeon.

 

“ That has nothing to do with this” Hyeon was quick to dismiss Jessica as she headed to the sink to wash her hands as well.

“and he wasn’t . He just didn’t have a shirt on,” she added for the fourth time correcting Jessica.

“ I swear to God, Jessica, they are related somehow.”

“ That is why they have this weird friendship/relationship,” Hyeon added

“Even from the first time they met, Mrs park was empathetic towards him.”

 

“Well, he is easy to feel sorry for when you consider, it was the first time he saw you after five years” taking her first sip, she focussed her eyes on Hyeon. The reaction she knew her words would get was evident as Hyeon couldn’t even hide her reaction.

“ Have you seen how he talks to her? How he looks at her?” Hyeon, ignoring what Jessica just said, asked her questions.

“I think you're reading too much into it.”

“Maybe they just have great chemistry.”

 

“ Maybe”

“ Maybe they are related,” Hyeon whispered.

 

As she left the kitchen, glancing at the clock 9 pm. There was no use in arguing with Jessica, who was tired and had expressed what she wanted was to get home, have a beer, take a nice shower and call it a night. The files she had stolen from Mrs park's office were her target. Locking her room behind her, she would spend the next few hours going through Mrs park's family photos, hospital documents, and personal documents to find something. Anything that might link her to the Jk corporations or Jae, but it was no use.

 

Surrounded by the endless documents and files, Hyeon couldn’t help but recall what she witnessed in the hospital room 12 hours ago.

12:00 am

1:00 am

2:00 am . . .thursday has quietly turned into Friday as Hyeon laying on top of her, could seem to close her eyes even for a minute and accept that maybe it's just a coincidence. Mrs Park's family that lived in Busan had distant cousins, but Mrs park had no sister that could have been Jae’s mother.

 

Her Fridays were spent trying to get any detailed information for Mrs park but it was no use the story she heard and again had no clue to a mystery that could lead to Jae. “just let it go” Jessica had whispered multiple times as Hyeon was forced to just enjoy their Friday night dinners.

 

“ One of you have to drive me to somewhere tomorrow evening” mrs park cleaning up the dinner table spoke out glancing at the two girls whispering at the corner

“ Where are you going?”

“ I have someplace to be at 7 “ Hyeon and Jessica spoke at the same time. Hyeon was the one that asked.

“ I was invited for a dinner by Jae” She whispered with a softer tone as both slowly turned their eyes o Hyeon. Jessica trying hard to hold in her smile gave Hyeon a nudge.

“ You can just drop me by the door” Mrs park hoping that will make it easier added.

“ I mean I would love to see his house but I can't miss the event” Jessica added nudging Hyeon again.

“ You can drop her before your event “ Hyeon picked up her plate started heading to the kitchen Mrs park was in.

“ I am not stepping in that house” Hyeon added but it only took 20 minutes to convince her to agree to drop Mrs park by the door and just leave. The reason she agreed not being any of the reasons Jessica and Mrs park listened but the curiosity that has been eating her. Maybe Mrs park remembers the house, maybe Mrs Kim will remember something, maybe she could sneak and take a photo ... whatever it is she needs to find proof. Evidence to prove to herself that there is something. Her need to know had occupied all her brainpower that it didn’t even go a second thinking about what it means to be in that house.

“ I can’t believe am doing this” hyeon complained again. She had to make sure Mrs park is convinced she is doing her a favor which will come in handy sometime soon.

“ You can just leave me by the gate and disappear” Mrs park added some color to her lips added.

“ You said you've moved on so this should be fine” Mrs park focused on her cherry chapstick added. There was no response from the driver who was lost in her own thoughts of what she planned to do to get her proof. Maybe she could get them to come to the front gate and sneak take a pic but no. Jae wouldn't come down to the gate to welcome Mrs park. He had never even come down to greet her once so it would be weird for him to wait for Mrs park. Maybe she could call for Mrs. Kim to come down and see the reaction as the two women meet. As her memory recalled the last image she has of Mrs. Kim, it started to hit Hyeon. “I am just dropping her at the gate” she whispered to herself as she tried to calm the nerves that were trying to warn her of the dangers of being any were close to the people she has promised to never forgive. “This is not a good plan” the voice in her head had been warning but the curious side of her had dominated all her thoughts as she was focused solely on finding some clue.

 

The quiet ride as they joined the freeway was filled with endless thought as both focused on the were worried about what was waiting for them. The busy city noise and light would be switched to quiet neighborhood and field of land as they crossed the bridge and existed at the

The lushes green driveways and fancy gates were what waited as they made two exist and joined the not so famous but filled with millionaires neighborhoods. The carless road was cuddled by beautiful threes as Mrs park was in aww as she focused on the mansions they were passing by. The one or two luxury cars that passed them by were also noticed as Mrs park didn't miss anything. She had seen this type of luxury once in her life but this was something else.

“ look at this one” the shocked Mrs park was too caught by the beautiful gardens, swimming pool, and houses they were passing by.

“These are nothing” Hyeon recalled all the mansions the JK family ownes added. The quiet neighborhood they were cursing thought Mrs. Parks have feared might bring some memories but this was nowhere close to the house she used to work in. These houses were more modern and looked new.

“ I am going to drop you by the gate door. The house is all the way at the end” Hyeon whispered as she swallowed each and every piece of memory that wanted to creep in. She was too occupied to figure out how she is going to convince Mrs park to dill from the gate and call for Mrs Kim.

“You can call the house from the gate and they will send down somebody to pick you up” she signed left and made a smooth turn as she got on the long road that leads to the estate.

 

“ do you see that mansion behind the swimming pool’ she pointed at the house on the right sitting underneath the small hill.

“ yes”

“ Do you see the thick garden on its right” following Hyeon's fingers Mrs park focused her eyes on the thick garden?

“ if you look up, do you see that mansion with the pool behind it”

“ That is the place” Hyeon pointed at the big mansion that was hard to make out behind the elaborate and thick garden.

“I can’t see it” Mrs park tried focusing her eyes

“ you will as we get closer” Hyeon spoke as she turned right and she was right. As they drove for a minute the small mansion on the hill was coming to view. Hidden behind the garden, Mrs Park was finally able to make out the place Jae calls home. Well, not actual home but the house his kids and the people he cares about life in. He has his cave, his grandparent's mansion he had inherited, which he hadn’t stepped in for years, his two condos in the city, and his apartment his current girlfriend is living in. Out of all those places, this was the one referred to as the big house, not because of the size but because it had the most people.

“ Look at the garden hyeon to give Mrs park an opportunity to admire the garden that has a three men staff that takes care of it, started slowing the car.

“ He is not rich” Mrs park turning her stunning eyes to Hyeon protested

“He is WEALTHY” She added as not only her words but her eyes demonstrated the difference. The smile on heyon’s lips was cute. It always amazes how shocked people are to find that Jae is not rich. He is filthy rich and categorized as wealthy.

“Now I understand why you were fighting them” Mrs park added remembering how much Hyoen always is against the amount of wealth Jae and his family hoards.

“This is one of his many houses btw” Hyeon added as she slowed the car, even more, to make sure Mrs park who was busily trying to take the photos got a good shot.
