Aunt was befriending the morning meal to all the members when I appeared in the dining room, wishing good morning, I relaxed down on a chair, however, my days wouldn't have a good beginning, mom wouldn't let this happen for once in my being. "Why you didn't let me talk to him yesterday?" automatically my eyes rolled down at her annoying come up, breathing with a deep sigh, I explained the whole situation. "I wasn't feeling well at that moment, I didn't wish for him to listen to your words which sound of no use to me," through up these in a sarcastic tone, I threw my fake smile in her direction.
"What happened to you?" Ari sounded with a worried tone while showing a spoonful of my morning soup into my mouth. "Just weakness, don't worry," showing her my smiling face, she took a deep breath while fondling back with love. "Take care of yourself." Giving her a head nod I proceeded with my eating. That was my morning start with family and just because of one person my whole mood turned off and that was "Mom." For the useless reason, she questioned me again about my goings, and it was today too. While I grabbed my purse from the sofa, she came up with an irritating question furthermore. "Where are you going in the early morning?" I tensed my jaw up, the anger inside my stomach bubbling away, beginning to rise to the surface if she likewise asked me something that sounds private to me. Before throwing up an annoying reply, I blow out an annoyed breath. "None of your business. You don't have look after my whereabouts when you don't give a fuck about your child nor ever showed any affection towards as a mother should so I don't feel like to inform you where I'm going," stepping out further in the direction of the exit, the sound of heels echoed in the space and proud smirked marked on my face when I realised that mom was silent after my answer.
"Let me talk with his parents," Jae loosened up on the sofa while unleashing her phone to believe, the unbelievable occurrence. "Maybe she is getting underway to spend some time with Tae-Hyun," this was her misconception that gonna lead to a horrible coming about soon in their existence. And her fake imagination turned on to bring Jin-Ae, a bad experience. "Hello? Kyo, how are you doing?" She called out for his mother to take her imagination to another level. "I'm good but what's up with your sudden calling?" she heard the question from another way of an ongoing conversation. "Did you notice Tae-Hyun actions from the last two days?" It was enough of her to pass on the wrong scenarios, which she cultivated in her head.
"Why can't she leave Jin-Ae alone?" Ari wanted to stand for Jin-Ae but her presence was not highly appreciated in the family, she promised to stay quiet because she decided to inform Ji-Hoon, once she reaches the company.
"I was kinda shocked when he told me that he came after meeting Jin-Ae," his mom wasn't aware of what was going on in her evil mind before coming up with something that would take her on the ninth cloud. "Yes, that's what I noticed when he came to drop her yesterday here, I guess they are trying to admire each other," letting out a deep sigh, Jae broke the contact with her and rested her head on the sofa while there was her whisper echoed, "Let's plan a gift for my daughter," there was the moment when an evil smile could be seen on her face.
•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•
Driving while listening to the music was the best feeling for me, I was breathing quietly, but it didn't last for long when I realised I had to pick Tae for the meeting, so speeding up was what I did to reach his residence. "Come outside, I'm waiting for you," this was said by me to him through call after reaching his living place. "Give a minute, I'm coming," two red dots staining his face.
"Where are you going with this outfit?" it was weird for his mother to see him at a party outfit as it was unusual for both of them to encounter this side. His mother was the same as Jae throwing out lots of questions towards him whenever he left the house but her love for her son was not selfish as of Jae. Tae-Hyun stopped to step down on stairs when the sound of her echoed around the space. "I'm going out to meet my old friends with Jin-Ae," his mother was happy to see him smiling after staying with a cold face for ages. "Jin-Ae?" there wasn't any evil thoughts in her mind when she became sure of the two going out together, almost every day for the past few days.
"Sure, take off," nothing could process in her mind after Tae-Hyun explained to her the whole situation. "Bye."
"Is she seriously here to pick him up?" after when he disappeared from her sight, she eavesdropping to make sure whether she was for real or Tae-Hyun was faking it throw a window, her suspicious face soon turned out with a relaxing smile while her eyes were left wide out of surprise. "Everything gonna takes a good turn in their lives, I'm happy for both of you," uttering when she looked that Jin-Ae drives away from there.
Stepping towards the living room, where she left her phone, to again give her mother a call.
"She should know that Jin-Ae was here to pick him," with those assertions, she fetched the phone near to the ear.
"Tell Mr Richard to cancel the deal with us because I don't wish for this company to face loss because of his rubbish techniques," Jae instructions, guided Shik to go according to what she directed him. "I got it."
She flinched when her phone begin to buzz inside her purse, "Hey, what was it?" she came with a straight wording. While Kyo cleared her throat before informing her about the incidents that took place in front of her sight.
Jae was getting annoyed by her silence so with annoyance she again muttered the same phrase. "I noticed that Jin-Ae came here to pick him for a meetup. I understand your situation when you encountered them together. If you agree with me then let us plan something brand for them. I'm sure at this moment to utter that they are trying to fall for each other," she was committing the same mistake that roamed in Jae mind 24/7. Jae could hear the suggestive tone in her voice when she suggested planning something for them. "Alright, I got it. Let's plan a surprise for them."
"Finally, everything is happening as I wanted."

At night:)
"This is so great Eric," I praised him when I noticed the view of a party with all others present there. "Did you say to Min for coming here?" Mi-Sun asked Bae if she did as planned. Basically, we planned everything and also asked Bae to pretend like she was stuck in some kind of problem and she gonna ask Min for helping out by her presence at Soap Seoul, Central Party Space. There was our private space for party on the first floor.
"It's 8:40 pm, Bae gives her a call," Eric came up after noticing the time in his wristwatch.
Bae nodded and took a deep breath before she sound like she was suffering from a problem because it was hard to convince Min.
"H-e-ll-o M-i-n? c-o-m-e f-a-s-t I'm s-u-r-r-o-u-n-d-e-d w-i-t-h l-o-t-s m-e-n, p-l-e-a-s-e," we couldn't control our laughter when Bae pretended to speak in a cracked voice as much like she was scared. We were standing far because we knew that it gonna be one of us who would spoil everything with laughter. The call was on the loudspeaker so it was way easy for us to pay attention to what was being said by her. "where are you?"
"I'm at soap Seoul nightclub. Come f-a-s-t P-l-e-a-s-e?" Bae faked her sobs just to convince her for showing up here.
"Relax, I'm coming," her last words were heard before Bae turned off the call.

"How's this Sung? Did you like it?" Sun-Hee took off the blindfold from his sight while Sung-Ho struggling to get away with a blurred view in front by rubbing his eyes. Once he got everything clear, he glanced at her with a surprised look after viewing the view of a candle night dinner, some people who were playing a romantic instrument behind, the whole view decorated with candles, red roses. But what took him by wonders was her dress, never before he found her that beautiful. His breathing hitched in his throat as his eyes scanned over her dress.
Her strapless, pale-grey dress of semi-embroidered fabric accentuated her thin waist, hugged her hips, and flared out a bit. A V-slit on the side revealed a less embroidered fabric.
It was enough for Sung-Ho to get amazed by her dress sense on his birthday but on the other hand, he was just in two pieces with a black tie, matching with his shirt of white, sleeve folded onto his elbow, showing off his veins, which Sun-Hee found most attractive about him, his veins.
"Come," she offered him her hand for helping him move further while his bright eyes connecting with hers. "Did you like it?" it was never his mood to hang out with her but having a mother who favoured her stood against his wish. He made sure to give her a head nod. "Let's have some dinner with your favourite dishes," her behaviour took him by surprise, her romantic talks dragged him to pull away any thought of her in his mind but chewing his bottom lip, uncertain of her upcoming actions, he looked nervous. He nearly poisoned himself because he didn't want anything to get on the wrong path today but to his awareness, it was about to come its way. Their on-time passed with the dinner, getting up from her seating, she gathered the courage to ask him for a couple of dances on the music playing behind.
"Shall we dance?"
She smiled and nodded as she took his hand and twirled him into her arms. But all was that was visible in front of him was Jin-Ae's face. So, nothing could stop him from moving the stepping in rhythm.
They fell in step, letting the rhythm control their movements. All the scenery and people around them dissolved. It was her and him alone.
Her emerald eyes glistened, and a smile spread across her beautiful face.
Uncontrollable feelings surged through his body, and my fingers tingle in delight. His hand brushed across her cheek. The body was acting on its own, with no chains to hold him back from this pure paradise.
He drew her close to his chest, and she wrapped her arms around his neck.
Her golden locks fell over her eyes, like a curtain blocking out the sunlight. He desired to see those emerald eyes.
She began to withdraw her hand to brush away her hair, but his hand clutched onto hers. He carefully laid her thin hand on my shoulder and delicately tucked her lock behind her ear, and her emerald eyes twinkled back at him in greeting.
Her lips went to his ear as she whispered ever so softly.
"You know how to be romantic."
She set her head on his shoulder. They continued to dance, too lost in the music to halt. Time passed as their feet moved in the steps of the foxtrot.
She brought her head up and sleepily opened her eyes. She leaned in and planted her lip on his. While he wrapped his arms around her neck in return and held her tight as the kiss continued. The imagination of him, dancing with Jin-Ae grew so wild that he didn't realise that he kissed Sun-Hee while imagining Jin-Ae in his mind. Deliberately coming out into reality, he saw the sight of Sun-Hee, kissing him, getting lost in embracing the moment of the two, but soon he pulled away and her bum came in contact with the floor.
"What the heck!"
