"But... his name is Seokjin and he is not my real brother. "
Gasps were heard from Bo Ra at the sudden information while Yoo Na presses her lips in a thin line anticipating her response. "What? " Bo Ra says in a low voice while Yoo Na shrugs off awkwardly.
"Is he step thing? Or... cousin?" Bo Ra questions trying to be sure what her relationship was with him. "Umm... neither. " Bo Ra gasps again making Yoo Na chuckles. "Yah! How many times will you gasp? Are you shocked that your crush is a butler of the house?" Yoo Na says giving her the answers.
Yet again Bo Ra gasps, "Butler? Woah... such a handsome man should have been a model, not a butler. " Bo Ra says pouting sadly as if she was feeling his pain. Yoo Na chuckles, "You still like him?"
"Duh, I like him now for his looks... maybe but if I get to know him... I might like him even more. " Bo Ra says smacking Yoo Na's shoulder making her whine in pain. "Aish! Don't hit me!!" Yoo Na yells caressing her forearm while Bo Ra apologizes hiding her face inside the pillow and chuckling to herself.
"You are crazy!" Yoo Na yells laughing along with her. "Yah! Yoo Na-ah, don't you have a crush?" Bo Ra says looking at her with anticipating gaze, Yoo Na widens her eyes taken back by her sudden question.
"W-What? Me? No! I don't have one..." Yoo Na says awkwardly chuckling to herself. Bo Ra frowns in suspicion, "Your smile says otherwise... don't lie to me!" Bo Ra says with an offended look, she holds her arms across her chest letting her see the disappointment but Yoo Na sighs.
"Uh... Bo Ra... Can I take time to t-telling you that? Please...?" Yoo Na says with her pleading tone while Bo Ra frowns, "Why is it that difficult for you to tell me?" Yoo Na hangs her head low while Bo Ra sighs.
"Fine. I can wait but make sure you tell me who that lucky person is!" Bo Ra says with her energetic voice trying to lift the mood while Yoo smiles gratefully nodding her head. "I am so glad... you came into my life. " Yoo Na says before throwing herself on top of her and wrapping her arms across Bo Ra.
"Yah! You will choke me to death. " Bo Ra says before they both burst out laughing.
"Okay... help me with the notes. It's gonna take a long time. " Yoo Na sighs looking towards her bag lying on the floor. "Of course! What am I for?" Bo Ra says smiling happily.

"Yeong Jae-ah, Are you home?" The man speaks looking through the house, he finally sighs finding his son seated on the bed with a laptop on his thighs and him focused on the screen. He walks in but as usual, he receives no response from his son.
"Did you eat today?" He questions waiting for a response but hearing a soft hmm made him sigh again.
The man walks towards his son and sits beside him at the edge.
Shin Joo Hyeok, the Ceo of Shin Enterprises and mostly the most wanted company in the country. He has everything he wants but unfortunately, his wife, Shin Hyo Bi, passed away leaving the father-son behind. Yeong Jae who has grown up cold and distant because of his lack of attention made him regret it.
He has been planning to retire handling his enterprise and company to his son who always rejects him without a second thought. And he was always coming up with a way to make his son accept his proposals... which would always end up being denied.
"Yeong Jae-ah... dad is getting old-"
"Dad. I told you already that I am not leaving my job as a teacher. " Yeong Jae says not sparing a glance at his dad who looked dejected, he wasn't looking forward to giving up. He knew his company would be nothing if his son doesn't take responsibility for it.
"How long will you just teach? You need to handle the company now that I am getting old. " The elder slightly gets offended seeing his son rejecting him every time. "I earned everything for you... I don't want it to go to waste. "
"I didn't ask for it... dad. I am sorry but I am following mom's path. I want to protect her with this..." He says taking in a deep breath when he heard his dad gasp. "You are good enough for now. I will think about it later. " He says closing his laptop and eyeing his dad with a neutral gaze.
"How can you say that... don't you think about me?" The elder says with a sigh but hearing his son's reply made his heartache. "I don't see your care from this company dad. I didn't even need it in the first place. " He mumbles standing up from his bed and walking away.
"I will think about it. " He mumbles loud enough for his dad to hear and then he makes his way out of the house. The elder sighs out a breath and presses his lips in a thin line, "How do I get him to agree with me...?" He thinks to himself.
Indeed he just couldn't give up now because Yeong Jae was his only son which left him with no option. He had worked hard even killing his will to see his son growing up just to give him a bright future, even though he regrets p\what gone begone. He couldn't change anything but now he wants to do things properly.

"Yoo Na!! Bring your friend downstairs with you!" Seokjin yells from downstairs, Bo Ra's ear perks up hearing his voice. "Yoo Na... he is calling us. " She says getting excited making Yoo Na chuckle in disbelief.
" You are too much. " Yoo Na says rolling her eyes. "Let's go then..." Bo Ra says laughing sheepishly as both of them make their way downstairs. "Yoo Na... help me get to know him." Bo Ra says fluttering her eyelashes making Yoo Na cringe.
"Yeah... yeah. " She chuckles nodding her head.
"But... I have a question lingering in my head. " Bo Ra says awkwardly, Yoo Na looks at her with an uncertain gaze. "What?" Bo Ra chuckles scratching her head' "I don't know if I should... um... ask you that. " Yoo Na frowns deeper.
"What is it?" Yoo Na says stopping in her steps.
"Umm..."
"Girls hurry up! I am serving, hurry up. " One of the maids yells for them to hear, "Okay! Coming!" Yoo Na replies and looks at Bo Ra. "Hurry up... what is it?" Yoo Na nudges Bo Ra to speak, she clears her throat and says,
"Have you ever like him... um... Seokjin before?"
