**Spain**
After returning from the police station, Ian called their family doctor (Dr Thomas) over to my place so he can check on Zara and treats her. She explained everything that occurs between her and Zara to Mike and Ian, at this point they get to know that she has feelings for Mike which makes Ian happy but Mike nah. After receiving treatment from Dr Thomas, she took her bath, eat and sleep.
Mike and Ian were alone in the living room discussing.
Mike: before anything did you really adopt Zara as your sister?
Ian: (taking a sip from his drink) no
Mike: no? Ian what are you thinking?
Ian: it's fine mike, I will out a call through to my lawyer to work it out before today run out.
Mike: cool then. Now call your dream girl(chuckle)
Ian: (smile) I don't think it a good idea after everything I did.(looking sad)
Mike: I thought you wanted to correct your mistakes.
Ian: yes but, she might not pick up.
Mike: have you tried? No, try calling her bro.
Ian: are you sure?(taking his phone from the table)
Mike: you can never tell until you try.
Ian: okay( he went through his contact.
Mike: did you have her number?
Ian: yes, Ethan got it for me with the information he provided about her, so I saved it.
Mike: as? My muse (grinning)
Ian: stop teasing mike.(smiling)
Mike: just call already (smiling)
He dialled Eunji's number and she picked on the last ring.
Eunji: hello
Ian: hi
Eunji: who is this please?
Ian: Am so sorry, I had no idea that you were the one.
Eunji: I thought I asked a question? Who is this?
Ian: promise you won't cut the call after knowing who it is?
Eunji: I will cut the call, cause all you do was beat around the bush, I have work on my table to deal with.
Ian: ok fine, Ian on the line
Eunji: who again please?
Ian: Ian Martin
Eunji: Ian
Ian: (silence)
Eunji: Ian..Ian???
Ian: yes,am sorry please don't cut the call.
Eunji: ( I felt weak, this guy is one of my weakness)Ian? The Same Ian that render me homeless.( Trying to act tough)
Ian: I was sorry about that, it wasn't intentional, I was going through some emotional trauma.
Eunji: ohh I see! Because you are going through some emotional trauma or you are hurt gave you the reason to hurt people who are weaker than you?
Ian: am sorry
Eunji: your sorry won't solve what you have done to us, you chased us out without giving a care in the world because we are weak? I don't think those things that run through your veins were blood because if they are you will act more humanly than a beast you showed.
Ian: I have done the worst thing I have ever done in my life to you, I have never done anything to hurt people using my power.
Eunji: why did you call?
Ian: I want to apologize for everything I did to you and also tell you am going to send Ethan to you, so I can return your documents.
Eunji: you want to return the house? (Surprised)
Ian: yes, am giving you the documents not your uncle, he already sold it to me. So please just see it as if I brought the house from your uncle for you. Please
Eunji: I don't know if I can still trust you.
Ian: (sigh)
Mike: let me speak to her.
Ian: go on, it's on speaker anyways.
Mike:(smile) hi
Eunji: hiiiii?
Mike: am Mike Ian's friend
Ian: you are my brother
Mike: his brother (chuckle)
Eunji: hi Mike, nice meeting you. Am Eunji
Mike: of course I know you are Eunji our Korea dream goddess (smiling)
Ian: stop it( he hit him jokingly making Mike laugh out and their jokes makes Eunji smile)
Mike: anyways, I really appreciate the fact you gave us audience after everything he did, it's shows you are a nice person.
Eunji: I gave you him the chance to speak only because I want to listen to his excuses but they are not genuine enough.
Mike: yes they aren't, what kind of excuse can he has to chased people out of there home without a care in the world but he wasn't this kind of person, Ian his a good man. He saw me and asked his father to adopt me, an orphan like me but I stab him in the back.
Ian: no, Mike do not say anything silly there, do not expose that, I was also at fault and we have forgave each other for our wrong doings because we are not perfect.
Mike: no! I haven't forgive myself for what I did with you Ian, (sobbing) I could not get over the fact that I slept with your girlfriend

Eunji: ohh!(shocked)
Mike: Eunji, he caught me sleeping with his girlfriend and he misbehave towards you because of it. See, am not telling you so you can know my sins but am telling you this so you can forgive Ian and give him the peace of mind he deserve. Please I beg of you.
Eunji: it's fine, no one is perfect, I have forgiven him
Mike: thank you, it's like a load is lifted off my chest.
Eunji: it's fine. I need to go now, I have some work to do.
Mike: no problem, thank you.
Eunji: you welcome and please tell him thank you for returning the house untouched, it means alot to me.
Mike: he heard already, bye

Ann's restaurant
Ann's restaurant becomes the bucket list destination for both local and tourists visiting Incheon. It creates an appeasing aesthetic in a great way to subconsciously enhance the dining experience for customers. Music are in nice touch, it usually something soothing and on low-key that serves as a bit of background noise. The dining gave an intimate experience. The table where spacing out enough to where it feels a bit isolated and that the customers feels more like they are the only one on the restaurant. The wait staff are well versed on menus and specials, expert that customer looks to when they needed guidance through menus.
Lee could not help but observe the restaurant, still in his thought of how well order of things when An-na walked towards him .
Lee: hey babe ( stood up, embrace her and give her a peck on her cheeks)
An-na: sorry I changed the location, I was busy and I won't be able to make it on time to Busan, so I thought Incheon is fine.
Lee: it's fine babe(cough)
An-na: are you okay?
Lee: yes I am, do not worry.
An-na: ok( picked up the menus and went through them)have you ordered anything?.
Lee: not yet, waiting for you (smile).
A waitress walks towards them.
Wait staff: good evening sir and ma, welcome to Ann's restaurant. Can I take your order, sir/madam?( She brought out her pen and jotter).
Anna: please give us yasik( sweet rice with dried fruit and nuts) and (going through the menus when Lee started coughing) Lee, what wrong with you, did you need a doctor?
Lee: no, I will be fine.( He continue coughing and it's attract people's attention)
Wait staff: I think you can take him to the hospital because he is attracting others and I felt they will be scared of infection ma'am ( with an eye roll)
An-na: I don't understand what you meant by the word infection and moreover cough is not contagious.
Wait staff: look at his face burning red like...
An-na: what did you mean? Is this how you treated your customer here?
Wait staff: you are in the low class section so what did you expect?(scoff)
An-na: low class? Even if we are in the low section, what right did you have to insult my man.
Wait staff: you mean with infection?(she grin)
(Gbam) An-na gave her a slap
An-na: never now or your next life refer my boyfriend as an infected person?.
Wait staff: did you just slap me?( Holding her cheek)
An-na: yes and I will do it all over again.
The wait staff gave An-na a slap and Lee was quick to caught her cause she was fragile and push the wait staff with force cause he was losing his strength making her fall hard on the floor cause she was not expecting it. This attract others including the manager. An-na was held by Lee and she realized he was burning up.
The manager walked towards them and saw An-na.
Mrs iseul: good evening ma'am.(she face the wait staff) what going on here?
Wait staff: this filthy and tiny wretched girl slap me.
An-na: Mrs iseul, is this how you treat your customer.
Mrs iseul: am so sorry about everything that happened, she is my younger sister you gave me some money to pay her school fees ma.
An-na: this is Jan di? (Looking from the manager to the wait staff,lee and the wait staff were more confused)
Mrs iseul: yes ma'am, am really sorry ma'am.
An-na:your sister slap me!.
Mrs iseul: what? (She face her sister)
Wait staff: who is this sis?
Mrs iseul: this is my boss's, the owner of this place,the woman I told you paid your salary and was going to give you scholarship.

Wait staff: ma'am! Am really sorry ma'am.
An-na: babe can we speak when we get home please.
Lee:( he only nod)
An-na: Mrs iseul, I thought you said your sister is a very nice person and is a easy going?
Mrs iseul: she is ma'am, I don't know what's wrong with her this evening ma.
An-na: okay! Cool, (she sat down and cross leg) Mrs iseul why is this place for a low life section.
Mrs iseul: nothing of such ma'am.( All lee did was just look at the scenes happening in his presence like he is at the Cinema, while Jan di did was look at her foot ashamed)
An-na: your sister call us one since we were here.
Mrs iseul: ma'am, we can talk at your office let discuss about it ma'am.
