Sung-Ho:)
"Jin-Ae?" I mumbled under my breath, I was beyond startled that I would be conversing about after ages, seemed to me.
"Yes. Aren't you comfortable because as far as I remembered you loved my sister? huh?" yeah I still love her and a lot more than before however, the situation wasn't on my side. Listening to his questions, some sheds rolled down my cheeks, which gained Justin's attention and those threads of worry got mine on his face.
"What happened?" again he curved his lips to ask me if everything was alright.
I shook my head.
"Yeah, I love her still. Why are you asking about but?" I asked while grabbing a seat nearby.
"Alright, I won't take much time of yours but know the one that she is still waiting for you," his last words tightened my heart, heightened my heartbeats, for few seconds I regretted being here, focusing on business, nothing worked out as I thought, everything scattered just in the moments of seconds.
I couldn't form any sentence because I feel ashamed being in love but not being able to love her, I was frightened a lot, I lost every hope of seeing her ever and if I ever got a chance to then I didn't know whether our feelings would stand out as same as before.
"Alright, see you,"
"See you!"
And he hangs up the call, leaving me stunned by his words. I didn't expect things would turn out this way.
I was snapped out of my thoughts by Justin words, "Who was it? and what did you talk about?"
I connected my sights with him, I knew he would notice everything just by looking straight into my eyes.
"Tell me what happened?"
"It was her brother.." I paused for a second to divert my attention as I went near to window in my room while Justin followed me by his sights.
"Did he ask you to leave her or what?"
"....he said that Jim-Ae is waiting for me," might be he would find me a way out of this.
"And?"
"Just this, he didn't say much and I know what he meant by that?"
"What?"
I tried not to get emotional because I couldn't be by her side at this moment, biting my lower lips I turned towards him.
He raised his eyebrows, wanting me to continue further.
I paused.
"Is she not happy there or what?" he said and got the head nod from my side.
Out of surprise, he punched into the table around, totally frustrated but didn't know why.
"See Sung-Ho, I know you love her and you know she loves you too then what is stopping you from getting her out of that hell? huh? You know she is sad without then why don't gather the courage to stand against the world for her," I know he was right, but I knew what I was suffering through.
"I can't leave everything here Justin, I am responsible for the company," I also added to the fact, thinking more practically.
He left a long sigh, "Alright, then forget her, take care of your company, that's better in your eyes," after saying this to me, he shut the door behind me with the thud sound.
Whereas I just tried hard to process his words, 'Was company more important to me than her?' I cursed myself even thinking that way, no, nothing was important to me than her. Nothing but I couldn't make it to her right now.
This pressurised me to lose my peace of mind and I laid down on the bed facing the ceiling.
"I love you but please wait for me just for some time!"

Ari:)
Today we had to make it up to the business party, so I was getting ready for the same.
There was a dress of black colour, backless, while had deep cleavage that made me feel uncomfortable a but not when two arms wrapped around my waist, and we connected our eyes through the mirror.
"My wife is beautiful," he complimented me but I just passed him a smile.
"Alright, we will leave in a few minutes, get ready fast," he said while fixing his tie.
I nodded
*PECK* *PECK*
I giggled when he just pecked my lips twice while feeling shy.
He laughed at my shy behaviour taking me off of my face to notice my red cheeks.
"Aww, you are shy!" he said teasingly while I pushed him by hitting on his chest.
"Ah Ah!" he pretended to get hurt, keeping hands on his chest, faking the pain.
"Stop it," I whispered and moved away from the mirror.
"Jin-Ae?" I saw her standing by the door, smiling at me.
* * *
Jin-Ae:)
Holding the invitation card in my hands, I looked around the room.
No, I would not go there to those boring parties, I would just be sitting in the corner like an ideal.
I needed any strong reason to stay here, so I thought of any excuse to avoid the party.
Thinking for while,
"Yes," I said while handing out of the room to convince my brother.
I was moving in the direction of their room while filling the space with my small steps.
I was about to knock on the door when I heard her giggles, I grew confused so I peeked into the room while opening the door slightly.
There I saw the sight of brother pecking her lips, and they both laughed.
I embraced the scene so lovingly, that it made me realise our kiss, I smiled sadly over the memories.
The scene at the restroom flashed back into my head, I smiled so big remembering his drunk state, I didn't know that he felt the same way for me, his kiss made me feel loved even if he was drunk but didn't matter to me as long as he loved me.
"Jin-Ae?" I was snapped out of his memories. I stood attentive there, holding back my tears.
"come inside, why are you standing there?" she whispered as I got in.
"Hey my princess, aren't you ready for the party?" the brother asked while hugging me, I lost and hugged him even tighter.
"I am not going," I said finally and ready to bear his anger.
He pulled instantly but I avoided my gaze, "Why aren't you going but?" he asked.
"Jin-Ae, it will help you to distract yourself a bit," no, it didn't.
"No, I just feel left out whenever I visit parties. Moreover, I'm not feeling well,"
"Why? What happened?"
"Nothing, just headache as I finished writing a novel just a few minutes ago so," I lied again, I had to because there too mom would embarrass there by her dirty mind.
"Alright, it's alright, we will try to come as fast as can, and if you feel sick then give us a call. Understand ?"
I nodded and kissed his cheek.
"Got it, by the way, Ari you are looking so beautiful," I added to the fact, while she blushed in his direction.
"Oh, did he bring you this dress?" I asked while peeking at him.
"Yes, can't I?"
"of course. After all, she is your wife. Okay, I gotta go, enjoy the party, " I said while getting out of their room in excitement.
I sighed when I entered my room.
And opened the laptop to complete the pending work with the background music.
I was alone at home, Jee-Ho aunt had no work here so she went out to meet her loved ones. While mom dad at the part already as well as both of them might have left for the party.
Being alone ran chilled to my spine and thought to continue the work.
Soon time passed to midnight. I felt a little bit thirsty so moved downstairs to grab some water. I was never scared to be left alone in the big mansion.
Only the sound of running down on stairs was heard in that area.
While mumbling the lyrics of some songs, I poured myself a glass of water.
I was handing it back to my room when I heard the sound of something breaking down felt like glass. I turned and saw that the glass was broken on the floor, it frightened me a little as I kept back on the table safely so how could it break down itself.
I grew suspicious, my breath stuck into my throats but I remembered that few minutes I called that I wasn't scared of living alone but now I was scared for some reason after seeing that broken glass.
I ran into the room and locked the door, inhaling some fresh air, I seated on the chair to distract my mind.
But some moment after I received a call from some unknown number, it's the same number that sent me the videos of a boy singing songs, I smiled while ready to pick the call.
"Hello?" he said
But before I could mumble words, the door of my room slung open.
