"Ok, Sir." the PA said and left his office, bowing politely.
Dong-Hoon grabbed a fistful of his hair. "Ughhhh, what is happening to me." he remembered how in the last few days that had happened many times. "Ok... She is beautiful, yes. She is nice to everyone except me, yes. She likes children, yes. She can tame someone like Bo-Mi, yes but it does not mean I like her, right...?" he rubbed his temple with both of his palms.
"I hate this feelinggggg." he groaned in frustration. He was longing for the attention he always got while both of them were bickering for non-sense.
...
Dong-Hoon was going towards his car when Se-Young's scooty abruptly stopped in front of him.
"Can't you walk looking ahead, both of us would have knocked our heads open by now if I was not quick." she was blabbering and Dong-Hoon sighed shaking his head, thinking that it was his hallucination yet again.
He walked past her without saying anything and Se-Young grabbed his hand as he flinched. "I am not talking to air." she said looking at him weirdly as he got startled by her touch as if she was a ghost. He widened his eyes, blinking them multiple times and brought his right hand towards her face and poke her exposed forehead through the helmet with his index finger.
"You are real?" those words left his mouth without even processing.
"What are you doing?" she slapped his hand away from her.
He realized what just happened and composed himself, clearing his throat. "I thought a fool like you exist in dramas only, that is why I was checking whether you are real or not." he came up with the most stupid excuse of his sudden actions.
"I thought you were getting out of your childishness but no I was wrong and it is not me but you who is a fool." she rotated the key of her scooty and hurriedly left the parking area.
Dong-Hoon hit himself on the head. "You are a fool." and scolded himself.
...
Min-Hoon's health was getting unstable day by day and even though Ji-Hoon was able to get a hold of the situation in the company with his wits but still his health was not getting any better.
Jung-Nan called all the three brothers to the house back urgently saying that Min-Hoon had fainted. The three of them rushed back to the house as the doctor was checking Min-Hoon while Hani and Jung-Nan were standing beside the bed.
"How is his condition doctor?" Dong-Hoon asked and the doctor sighed shaking his head.
"He is taking too much stress, I guess. Let him rest for a few days, away from all the work. If it is possible, send him on a vacation somewhere with fresh air and nature would do its effect. I am prescribing some drugs with low side effects. If you provide him proper care. Then he will be fine in no time." The doctor wrote something in his prescription book and then tore a page and handed it to them.
Tae-Hoon hurriedly grabbed it. "I will ask someone to buy them." he rushed out of the room hurriedly.
"Thank you, doctor. I will escort you out." Dong-Hoon said but the doctor waved his hand in front of him in denial. "No need, you all stay with your father. I will go by myself." the doctor also left the room, leaving the Shim family alone.
Min-Hoon was still unconscious. Jung-Nan sat beside him on the bed and her face was really down. "I don't know what had happened to our family. Everything was just perfect before you guys left for the US. But now, everything feels upside down. I wonder when everything will go back to its place back again." she wiped the corner of her eyes.
In a few minutes, Min-Hoon opened his eyes. "Ugh, my head is hurting." he said and tried to sit straight.
Dong-Hoon and Jung-Nan helped him to sit properly. "Dad, I told you not to stress yourself over that matter and it has been ages since everything got settled. You know how worried everyone was here." Ji-Hoon said worriedly.
"You think it is just the company, a father whose three sons does not even look at each other and does not talk to each other, what do you think will happen." he scolded Ji-Hoon.
Dong-Hoon and Ji-Hoon both just dropped their heads in shame.
Jung-Nan cleared her throat to lessen the tension. "Never mind all the things, Doctor told us to send you on a vacation. I can't leave you alone. We will go somewhere peaceful together for a week. Don't pay attention to anything for now." she strictly said.
"Now you are talking to me..." Min-Hoon said eyeing his wife, indicating the day when she told him not to talk to her anymore. Jung-Nan awkwardly cleared her throat and dropped her head as well while making a sad face.
Min-Hoon just sighed and continued his words, "...you can't leave me alone and I can't leave these stupid boys alone. I am not going anywhere leaving this house." he protested.
"Honey... try to understand. It is for your own good." Jung-Nan tried to persuade him but he was not budging even a bit.
"Then what about all of us going on a vacation for a few days." Dong-Hoon suggested looking at his father’s persistence.
Jung-Nan and Min-Hoon looked at each other, nodding their heads. "Then let me book our flights for Paris for next week." Jung-Nan said to them.
Dong-Hoon shook his head in disapproval. "Mom, the doctor just said a place with fresh air and nature. I don't think Paris is the one suitable for this description. I think we should go to the countryside. Plus leaving with a patient and a pregnant woman on a plane can be risky." he suggested.
"Big bro... is right." Ji-Hoon said looking away from Dong-Hoon. "I actually can arrange everything for this vacation without doing much. I already had an offer to spend a few days in the countryside with Parks. I will notify them. We will leave the day after tomorrow." he told them and left the room to inform Yoo-Na about it.
