Lina couldn't stop him so she felt angry and worried together but as she has no other choice, she packed all the staff which belonged to them and went to talk with the doctor. As the doctor wasn't available, she had to talk with the nurse about not doing the surgery. The nurse prescribed him those medicines which he had to take a bit earlier. Lina took them and paid the medical bill and left the hospital. She couldn't discover why and where he goes in such a rush! He was acting strange since he had the accident. And today, he almost wins her heart through the baby. If they had a child like her, would he treat him/her like that too! She was curious but she was also disappointed by his weird behavior. She thought that he didn't want to do the surgery and that's why he fled away here and there from the morning.
"If your mind says that you should not do this, then don't! Maybe it's for your good!" said Lina and sighed. Then she started the walk on the busy road and went to her home. She unlocked the door with the key and entered. She couldn't do any household works due to her husband's sickness. So it was quite messed up and she has to do those work now. She can't take a break from her work. If she took a leave from her job, she has to do the household works. So, she can't find time for her own. She entered the house and closed the door. She gathered all the staffs which were keeping here and there and put them in their own place. She sweep the dirty floor and cleans it with soap water. Then she went to the kitchen. She washed the bowl, glass and kept them in their place. After finished cleaning, she went upstairs. She decorated the room and clean everything. Now, she needs some time to get fresh. She went to the bathroom to take a bath. There was a bathtub kept in the bathroom but as the water supplier broken and was not fixed, she can't fill the tub. But she wants to go under the water and lied down to eliminate her tiredness. So she had to take a shower. Though it refreshed her body and mind it couldn't refresh her fully. She came outside and get dressed properly. She looks at the clock and saw that it was already 1 pm the day. It was her 2nd prayer time so she went to her room again. She took a heavy but small green carpet embroidered with a picture of a mosque. She spread the carpet and stand on it. Then she began to pray.
"Excuse me! Can I meet with Mr. Park?" asked Dae Ju to the security guard who was standing in front of the big office building.
"But, I can't let you go until you don't show your identity card." said the guard simply. He was totally unbothered and keep standing with his pride.
"I didn't bring that with me," said Dae Ju and begged to let him in but he failed. "Then, you should come again with your ID card, or else you can meet him somewhere else. Now go." saying this he looked at another way.
"Look! I need to meet him now. I can't able to meet him another day! You know, I have a surgery tomorrow and if it failed then I couldn't able to tell him which I wanted to because there will be no other day! So, please let me in!" Dae Ju wanted to blackmail him emotionally but seems like he was annoyed by him. "Wait a minute. I will go and ask him first." saying this he left inside. Dae Ju was standing where he was. He looks at the building, he saw it before. It was a nice apartment building with 20 floors. The building is quite big as a furniture company. As it was standing on the roadside, he can see the busy road. There is a school on the other side of the road. As it was the leaving time, the road was crowded with students and their parents. After watching them for some time, Dae Ju remembered his childhood memories. When he was in elementary school, his mom used to pick him up. He used to play with other child and his mom waited for him. But one day, his dad comes instead of his mom. As he was afraid of his dad, he was hesitating to play with the other kids. Then, his dad said to him,
"Don't let your fear win. Do whatever you love to do!" Dae Ju sighed remembering it.
"Yes, dad. I didn't let my fear win. I am doing whatever I love to do!" That time, Seo Jin's fiance came and asked,
"Who are you?"
"Ah! Buddy! How are you?" asked Dae Ju acting as he knows him for long.
"Sorry, but would you mind to tell who you are? And why you came to meet me here?"
"Seems like you don't remember me! I am Sye Kyung! Your elementary school friend!" said Dae Ju and look at himself. He was looking chubbier than before. He was quite fit when he saw him last time and Dae Ju wondered why he becomes like this. He was wearing glass and as his habit was poking his glass with his index finger, he was doing the same.
"Ah! Sye Kyung! It's been a long! How have you been?" he asked by believing him. Actually he was easy to be fooled and right now Dae Ju took the advantage of it.
"Yeah, I am fine. What about you?"
"I am also fine.
"How did you came here and knew that I work here?" asked him surprisingly.
"I just figured it out and since I was passing by I thought why don't stop at your place and meet you for once?" said Dae Ju and smiled weirdly.
"He was good at making stories and it helped him here."
"Ah! I see! Let's go and let me treat you. You owe me a treat, remember?" said Man Ho with a little smile.
"No, no! I didn't come for this! I just wanted to meet you." said Dae Ju hesitatingly.
"I know you came here to meet me. That's why I am telling you to let's go sit somewhere and chat for some time." "Okay, Let's go," said Dae Ju with a very disappointed face. They walked for some time and went inside a restaurant. As it was an industrial area, everything was quite high leveled. The restaurant was big and high qualified too. They booked a table for two and sit there. The waiters were busy so they had to wait until any of them come to them and take orders. They started chatting before giving the order.
"So, What are you doing for a living nowadays?" asked Man Ho. Dae Ju suddenly couldn't answer anything so he acted like he didn't listen to him.
"I heard that you went to your village for some reason. Don't tell me now that you came here searching for a job!" said Man Ho again.
"Ah! Yes, yes!" said Dae Ju with a weird smile and hesitatingly. He couldn't get to the point. He came here to ask about his sister but he couldn't get how he will ask him about his girlfriend. Suddenly he got an idea and his face shined like a glass when lights fell on it.
"I came here for another reason." saying this he smiled embarrassedly.
"Why?" curiously asked Man Ho.
"Actually my girlfriend recently shifted here and I came here to meet her."
"Ah! Now I understand why you smiled like that! Best of luck!"
"By the way, do you have any girlfriend?" Dae Ju knows that if he asks him this, he will blabber everything out.
"Oh! I do have one!" embarrassedly said Man Ho.
"Ah! Who is that lucky girl?" asked Dae Ju like he was very curious and happy for him.
"Seo Jin," replied he shortly.
"Who? Do I know her?"
"No, you don't. I met her three years ago. She was going somewhere in a rush. She hit me while getting on a bus. I thought she was crazy at first but now I have totally different feeling."
"Ah! Where does she live? How is she?" Dae Ju was being emotional because he was missing her a lot.
"She is fine but she stays in an off mood nowadays because of her brother. He had an accident a while ago and he is still in a coma stage. I feel bad for him. Though he doesn't like me that much, I respect him. He is an amazing guy! I hope he will get well soon." After saying this he sighed. He has no idea about the man who was he talking with. He had no idea that it was actually his fiance's brother whom he was talking about.
"Ah, right! The guard told me earlier that you will be having surgery tomorrow, is that true?" controlling his emotion he changed the topic.
"No! I was telling him a lie," replied Dae Ju and smiled hardly but he didn't know why he was feeling guilty. He was wrong about him. He is pretty impressive. He just couldn't get that earlier. Now, he thinks that he is perfect for Seo Jin.
"So, when will you get married?" asked Dae Ju.
"Next year 2nd march. You are invited too! Please come to my wedding to congratulate me." said Man Ho simply. "Okay, I will come for sure," said Dae Ju and smiled falsely.
"Then, I have to go. I have a date and I am being late," said Dae Ju again and stood up.
"But, what about the treat? We couldn't order something yet!" surprised Man Ho.
"Don't worry about that. You impressed me that's enough for you. You don't have to treat me." saying this he came out from there.
"Sir, order?" a waiter came to Man Ho and asked.
"Aish! My friend just leave! Where were you guys! I don't have much time now! Just pack me a coffee immediately." saying this he looks at the leaving of Dae Ju through the glass door. The waiter left to get his order but he stayed sitting confusedly. He couldn't get the last words of his friends. How he impressed him! He just said the truth. And he didn't tell about him much, he just listened to him and left.
"How strange! I don't know he could change that much!"
[In Lina's place]
She was talking with Yeon Hoon on phone.
"Oh, Noona! What are you doing?" asked Yeon Hoon.
"I just get showered," replied Lina.
"Ah! Really? I was trying to write a song in my studio but I got bored so I called you."
"Noona!" he called again without getting any response from the other side.
"Hmm. I am listening," replied Lina.
"Can I video call you?" asked Yeon Hoon.
"Why? You should focus on writing!" said Lina. Actually he wanted to see her with her sexy look but he was wrong about her. She was fully dressed and also she has a scarf on her head as she was praying a while ago. But she opened it and let her hair be opened.
"Please! I will be encouraged after seeing you! Won't you help your younger brother?" said Yeon Hoon.
"Okay, Just for a minute. Not more than that," replied Lina.
As he was expecting too much, he was nervous and he needs to drink water. He makes his hair right with his hand and wiped his face in case there was something on his face. He didn't know but he felt like something passed by through his heart.
When he saw her, he felt a little disappointed but her sweet face can melt everyone and it's no different for him too.
"I feel the power of sweetness!" said Yeon Hoon like he is a hero and got his source of energy.
"Can you show me your studio? I am curious how you are working," said Lina. "It's a bit messy here. Please deal with it." saying this he rotates his phone and showed her his studio.
Dae Ju was walking on the street. He was happy to meet Man Ho today. He was impressive and he can keep his sister happy. And also, his eyes were telling him that how much he loves Seo Jin.
"Okay, you got me. If you dare to make her cry, I will punch you immediately." He kept walking on the busy road. He knows that his destination is quite far from here but he was not willing to get on a bus or train. When he reached his so-called home, he saw that it was locked from outside. As both of them have duplicate copies of the key, only they could enter the house easily. He unlocked the gate and entered the house. It was decorated so finely and it was looking awesome. The white-colored floor was shining and there was no single dust on any furniture. He closed the door and went to the kitchen. He was very thirsty so he took a bottle of water and finished it with one sip. Then he starts searching for Lina. He was sure that she is in the house. Suddenly he heard something coming from upstairs. The sound seemed like something just dropped. So he went to upstairs slowly.
