Ani and Kang Soo arrived at the place of Sung Woo. Kang Soo rang the doorbell. Sung Woo opened the door after five minutes. "Sorry, for making you two wait," muttered Sung Woo and then hugged Soo tightly. They pulled away and the Sung Woo caressed Ani's head. "I am Park Sung Woo. From now on I am also your Oppa (elder brother)," stated Sung Woo with a smile.
Ani was overwhelmed hearing that. "Thank you Oppa for taking me-" Sung Woo didn't let her complete those words. "Ani, you do not need to thank me. Come inside," said Sung Woo and took the suitcase from her hand. They all entered the house. Ani looked around.
There was a quite spacious living room where a white colored long couch was placed. The shining glass table in front of the couch had some books on it. Apart from that, the kitchen was visible from there. A smile carved on Ani's lips as she liked the house interior.
"Ani, have a seat," said Kang Soo. Ani nodded and they sat on the couch. "You both must be feeling hungry so I am ordering food for us," muttered Sung Woo.
"You do not need to. I will make something delicious for us and then we will go to the market," asserted Kang Soo, looking at both of them.
"Market," murmured Ani. "But why?" Ani asked.
"Of course, for shopping, we have to go. You will soon be admitted to a new school and for that, you need the dress and other things," stated Kang Soo. Ani nodded when Sung Woo told her that she should freshen up quickly. "Wait for a second," mumbled Sung Woo and then got up from the couch.
"Soo, I am taking her to her room. You know your room so you can settle there. Freshen up and then make some delicious food for us," Sung Woo said with a smile and then told Ani to follow him.
Kang Soo smiled when his phone started ringing. He took out his phone and looked at the screen which was showing his father's name, Yangmi. He switched off the phone; got up from the couch and then went towards the right side of the living room where his room was situated.
Sung Woo and Ani entered the room. "Whoa! The room is very beautiful, Oppa," murmured Ani with her bright glistening eyes.
"I am happy you liked it. From now on, this is your house too. I am also your family," stated Sun Woo while caressing Ani's head. Tears formed in Ani's eyes and she hugged Sung Woo tightly. "Thank you, Oppa. This is my first time meeting you and you accepted me as your family. Thank you," Ani said while sobbing.
Sung Woo kept caressing her head, "Do not cry, Ani. I am also happy that you accepted me as your elder brother. Now stop crying." Sung Woo consoled her and then wiped the tears off her face. "Do not cry from now on, okay," said Sung Woo. Ani nodded and after a few minutes, Sung Woo left from there.
Ani sat on the bed, thinking about the sudden turn of events in her life. "Life sometimes brings you to a point where there is no turning back. The same happened to me. Never have I thought that my dad will leave and the thing would turn like this. I will now pursue my father's dream. I want to be in Sangma and for that, I have to get there at any cost," thought Ani. She then looked at the suitcase and pulled it near her. Opening it up, she took a pair of clothes; towel and walked into the washroom.
Sung Woo came to the kitchen and stood against the counter with the crossed arm. "Do you think your father will not do anything now?" Sung Woo asked with a tense look on his face.
"Why would he? I have nothing to do with them now," Kang Soo opined. He then stopped chopping the veggies. "I am worried about Ani. At this age, she has to suffer this much. Will I be able to give her everything? When she lost her mother, she never talked with us for a whole year. Uncle was so worried about her," Kang Soo expressed his worries towards Ani.
Sung Woo walked near him and patted at his shoulder. "We two will never let her feel lonely. I know we cannot fill the space of her parents but as elder brothers of her, we will do everything possible to make her happy. I have no family as you know so I will do my best in giving her everything," declared Sung Woo.
"I am your family. You always forget this," Kang Soo proclaimed.
"I know. You are my brother who always protected me," said Sung Woo and hugged him tightly. "Now, cook. I am very hungry," said Sung Woo with a smile. Kang Soo nodded and continued chopping the veggies.

Jun was on the couch, lying on it when Kang Tae came there. "I am thinking of bringing Ani here," Kang Tae stated. Jun opened his eyes and turned his head to him. "Even I want so. But dad said she needs them more in this tough time. I wanted to bring her here with me," he asserted.
"This was unexpected, Jun. I have been with her from childhood days. When her mother died she stopped speaking with anyone. Do you think this time she will handle herself? She is just 17. She is not even answering my calls. Cho also tried calling her but she did not answer our calls. Do you think everything is fine?" Kang Tae worriedly said.
Jun got up from the couch and then went towards the table which was placed beside his bed. He picked the phone and then searched up Ani's number. He called her but to his surprise, her phone was switched off. He then messaged Soo and asked him about Ani's whereabouts. Sung Woo told Kang Soo that some Kim Jun had messaged him.
"Give him a call," said Kang Soo. Sung Woo nodded and called Jun who immediately answered the call. "Jun, how are you?" Kang Soo asked while checking the salt in the soup he made for the dish.
"I am good. How are you and wh- what about Ani?" Jun asked from the other side.
"I am good and Ani is fine. Not that good but she is now stable," answered Kang Soo.
"Okay. Her phone is off these days. Has she changed the number or something?" Jun inquired.
"Yeah, she has changed phone. I will tell you later something important. Wait for my call," stated Kang Soo.
"Did something happen?" Jun asked with a concerned look.
"Umm... she mistakenly signed off the company's papers and it is now under my father's name. I have thought that dad and mom will do something like this. I will tell you other things later but do not tell anyone," asserted Kang Soo.
"No worries. Take care and tell her that not to be upset over this," pronounced Jun. Kang Soo hummed and then hung up the call. Kang Tae looked at the worried expression Jun and asked him what Ani's brother told him.
"Ani signed off the company's paper mistakenly and now it is under her uncle's name. Something big has happened there," muttered Jun and came back towards the couch.
"What? How could she-" murmured Kang Tae.
"Let's keep it to ourselves. Do not call her as she has changed the number. Sun Jae lives in Daegu. I will tell Soo to send Ani to the same school as Sun Jae. She will not feel lonely there," asserted Jun.
"Hmm. That would be good. By the way, her father made Sangma with so much hard work. It was her legacy which is now slipped off her hands," said Kang Soo. Jun did not say anything as something was going on in his mind.
