Unlike any other day, Dong-Hoon did not come to Se-Young in the kitchen early in the morning and unknowingly she was waiting for him and her eyes widened when he finally came into the kitchen.
“What?” he asked sulking like a child when Se-Young kept staring at him.
“No... nothing.” she said shaking her head. Dong-Hoon sighed and went beside her to help her. “Unlike someone, I am not that heartless.” he said looking at her from the corner of his eyes.
She bit her lower lip feeling bad again. “You have not seen the condition of the garage, I mean the house where they live.” Se-Young said gulping down the saliva.
“What does it have to do with you moving out of here. You want to help them, then help them. Why moving out.” now he turned his whole attention towards her, turning his body in her direction instead of the kitchen counter.
Se-Young inhaled a sharp breath in, turning herself towards him as well. “Because money matters are not the same for people like you and people like us. He would not take my help until and unless I am involved. Last time was just because it was the matter of Se-Won’s life or else he would never have spread hands in front of anyone.” she huffed as Dong-Hoon just shrugged his shoulders turning back towards the kitchen counter again.
“I am not helping you in moving out.” he said, still pouting.
“Who needs your help.” she put the spatula over the stove with force to show her anger.
…
“Dong-Hoon.” Min-Hoon grabbed everyone’s attention, taking Dong-Hoon’s name. “Yes, Dad.” he said gulping down the saliva, looking at the solid expressions on his father’s face.
“Now that you have successfully started the construction working of the new resort, we should think about your marriage.” Dong-Hoon widened his eyes in shock and his mouth was left open.
Ji-Hoon and Tae-Hoon looked at each other holding in their laughter, while Se-Young was biting her lips holding her head down. “After the second trial. Hopefully, this matter with Seo Kang-Joon will get solved, and then you are going on a blind date." now everyone except Jung-Nan jerked their heads in Min-Hoon’s direction, none of them could believe what they heard.
“But dad...” Dong-Hoon wanted to argue since Min-Hoon knew about him liking Se-Young. “No buts, just do as I say.” Dong-Hoon bit his lower lip, he had always been obedient in every matter but how could his father make him go on a blind date even after knowing that he liked someone.
Tae-Hoon and Ji-Hoon again looked at each other, but this time in shock and then they look at Se-Young who was utterly uncomfortable with the situation right now.
Dong-Hoon shook his head and was about protest again but stopped when Jung-Nan gave him a wink, he frowned his eyebrows in confusion so, Jung-Nan pointed at Se-Young with her eyes and gave him a ‘try to understand’ look.
Dong-Hoon realized what was happening. “Ok, I will go on the blind date.” he said making a sad face, acting like he had accepted his defeat.
Se-Young’s heart sank into the deepest ocean, even though she was the one who was leaving him hanging every time he expressed his feelings, she still felt disappointed. “I will get going now, aunty.” Se-Young bowed slightly to elders and dashed away from the dining area.
After a minute of awkward silent Min-Hoon cleared his throat. “I am never doing such a thing again.” he scowled looking at Jung-Nan and she chuckled, making the three others confused.
She told the confused souls that they were just trying to make Se-Young stay or at least realize her feelings towards Dong-Hoon. “Tsk, tsk, poor him.” Ji-Hoon shook his head teasing Dong-Hoon.
Dong-Hoon glared at him. “Don’t think you are safe. After me, it will be your turn.” Dong-Hoon smirked at him and Ji-Hoon choked and looked at his parents.
Jung-Nan nodded, giving him an evil grin.
...
Se-Won and Se-Young were now standing inside a newly furnished house. “But what about the house you are living in right now?” he asked since neither he nor Se-Jung knew about Se-Young living in Shim's household.
She cleared her throat. “That house has only one room and was rented as well.” she really felt bad telling him a lie. “This place is quite big and we would not need to worry about the furniture as well.” she smiled at him.
The real estate agent chimed in. “Yes, and even the area is quite exceptional. There is a park and a gym after just a three-to-four-minute walk. Best restaurant in the area just at the corner of the street. A bakery in the left street from there for a wonderful breakfast.” he kept exaggerating and exaggerating about the place.
Se-Young and Se-Won looked at each other with troubled expressions. “Ok, ok, I understand. Since the rooftop is yet to be painted please keep in mind that I have asthma. Take care of the painting. After the rooftop is done, I will give you full payment.” Se-Young said at which the agent aggressively nodded his head.
“Don’t worry ma’am, I will make sure just like these two floors the rooftop will be painted with top-notch paint.” Se-Young nodded, satisfied and they left the house, strolling through the area.
“Big Sis, we can go to the park regularly to have a walk and do some exercise. It will keep both of us healthy.” Se-Won cheerfully said as he turned his head in her direction and found her thinking about something.
“Are you perhaps sad about leaving your old place?” he asked thinking that she might have some memories in that place.
Se-Young chuckled. “I never thought that I will be this sad about leaving that place.” she shook her head to set her bangs which were getting disordered with the wind.
“Don’t worry, we will create new memories together.” she could not help but laugh at her brother's enthusiasm.
