Ani went silent when Jun asked her about his photos in her phone. She also tried lying to him but Jun has already checked her phone so she decided to say sorry to him.
Jun was grabbing her gently by her waist and she was sitting on his lap. "I think I've to tell your brothers about this habit of yours. At least I've not taken your photos without your permission. But then I'm not like you who always sticks her nose in my life. Who told you to tell dad about this?," asked Jun with a grim look on his face.
"You...You were drinking too much so I thought that I should stop you. It's bad to drink more than necessary," stammered Ani and had still lowered her eyes.
Jun looked at her face and then with his other hand turned her face towards him by holding her chin. "Look at me," mumbled Jun. Ani gradually raised her eyes and then saw his eyes were red as if he would cry.
"What happened to your eyes?," asked Ani looking into his eyes.
"Nothing. After a man gets drunk his eyes turn like this," murmured Jun. Ani got confused and blinked her eyes. The next second Jun pinned Ani to the bed which made Ani's heart beat raise.
"What are you doing?," asked Ani in a low voice. Jun got close to her while Ani started getting weird thoughts. She closed her eyes tightly as Jun reached almost her lips but then he smiled and leaned closer to her ear.
"This is the last warning I'm giving you. Don't intervene in my life. Stay away from me else I'll ignore you throughout my life," whispered Jun.
Ani opened her eyes as Jun leaned back and looked into his eyes. Jun got up from her bed and then said, "I'm feeling sleepy so I'm sleeping in the next room. Give me a blanket there," mumbled Jun and walked out of her room.
Ani touched her heartbeat and then immediately ran after him. Jun laid down on the bed when Ani put the blanket over him. They both looked at each other but then Jun turned her face away. "Close the lights," mumbled Jun and turned his back to her.
She switched off the lights and went to her room. "Did something happen to him?," murmured Ani and laid down. She looked at her phone and saw Jun's photo. "There are many things I have to know about you to get close to you," murmured Ani and then put the phone on the bed.
In the room Jun wasn't able to sleep because of the incident that happened with him almost 14 years ago. He sat on the bed, supporting his back from the pillow behind him.
"Just a call has taken away my sleep. I'm still afraid of that woman. Why did she call me? Will she do the same as she did eleven years ago?," murmured Jun. Tears started flowing from his eyes.
Reminiscing his childhood days Jun cried almost for thirty minutes and then turned on the lights. "12:30 am," murmured Jun. "My birthday is always like this. Painful." He got up from the bed and went inside the washroom.
Looking at his own reflection in the mirror Jun mumbled," that woman has made your life hell. Look at yourself. You have never cried all these years but why now? That woman will never crush you. Just be strong, Kim Jun." He then opened the tap and washed his face.
Cleaning his face with a clean towel he came out of the washroom and thought to go to Ani's room. As he went inside her room he saw she was sleeping in a strange way. All hair over her face. One leg outside the blanket and the arms are stretched apart. A laugh escaped from his mouth.
He closed the door and walked near her. "Why only you can make me smile even when I'm in my most devastated state?," murmured Jun and took the chair, sitting beside the bed. He gently took away the hair from her face and then put her leg inside the blanket.
"How can you be so calm? You must be hurt like me when you've lost your mother but then your pain is thousands of times of mine pain. I really wonder how you always smile. But then this is your charm, Kid," murmured Jun and smiled.
Ani was smiling in her sleep. Jun kissed lightly on her forehead. He raised his head to look at her and then left from there through the balcony while Ani gave another smile.

Soo was getting ready for the office when he saw Cho who brought breakfast for her in the room and put the tray on the table there.
"Eat your breakfast before going," mumbled Cho and turned to leave when Soo stopped her. He walked near her and said, "are you missing your family?" Cho turned to look at him.
Soo scrunched his nose and said, "I mean I thought that we should spend some time with your family too. I'll ask dad about this then we will go there for a week."
"Really?" Cho excitedly said and smiled. Soo nodded at her. "Well, sorry for yesterday. I was a bit angry because you lied to me and married me. But then I thought the entire night about that. I'll consider my marriage with you because around you I feel more comfortable," mumbled Soo.
Cho smiled hearing this. "Well, you don't have to be so formal with me. Like I said earlier before this couple relationship we are friends," murmured Cho. Soo smiled hearing this and nodded. "Ugly," murmured Soo and sat down on the couch.
"Hey! You're eating that's why I'm not saying anything to you," mumbled Cho. Soo smiled and started eating. After he was done eating he asked, "Cho, do you want to work? I mean you were very happy when you started working in your restaurant but after marriage you are more into household works so I just thought that you should work there if you want to."
Cho was overwhelmed by Soo's concern for her. "I really want to work there but I don't think I will be allowed," murmured Cho.
"I've to talk with dad about this. But I assure you that you'll work there," mumbled Soo and gave her a slight smile. Cho nodded and thanked him.
Soo looked at his watch and then said, "I've to leave. I can't be late." Cho nodded and Soo left from there. His Secretary was waiting for him in the living hall and they left for Sangma from there.
In the car, Soo was reading about the next deal proposal when Soo recalled the last night incident. He took a heavy breath and looked out of the window.
"She was crying because of me. I remembered the day when she came forward to save me and married me forgetting about her dreams. She sacrificed herself for my happiness. Jun was saying right that I should try to give this relationship a time when I'm more comfortable around her. " This thing Soo was thinking about the entire night.
Looking out of the window Soo recalled this when his secretary called his name and he came out of his thoughts.
"The director is on leave for a day," mumbled his Secretary. "Why? What happened to Jun?," thought Soo and took out his phone. He dialled his number but the call wasn't connecting.
"Is everything fine with him? Did he mention the reason?," asked Soo from the Secretary.
"He has to go somewhere urgent. He didn't mention any particular reason," stated the Secretary.
"Then that's fine," murmured Soo. They reached the office in an hour. As he was going through the first floor he saw Ani running here and there taking the files in her small hands. He stepped towards her but then stopped. "Forgive me. It's all to save you." Murmured Soo and turned to the elevator.
