'Alright Yena, Good night'. Chaeyoung waved Yena as she got off the car.
'Are you sure you're not coming in, mom would be happy to see you'. Yena tilted her head.
'Some other time Yena, tell her I'm sorry'.
Chaeyoung had given Yena a ride to her house, since they got off work late, and Yena lived in a loosed security environment, so it was dangerous going home alone when it was dark.
'Alright then, and please get her home safe'. Yena said to the driver who nodded in response.
'Bye..' Chaeyoung waved and the car accelerated.
Yena stood and watched the car, until it was out of sight before entering the house.
She took off her shoe at the entrance before entering further.
'Yena!'. Her little brother screamed, his voice filled with excitement as he ran towards her engaging her in a tight hug.
Yena smiled and stroked his hair.
'How's my idol doing?'. She asked.
He looked up and gave her a thumbs up, meaning he was fine.
'Allow your sister come in Yohan, she's tired'. She heard the voice of their mom,Mrs Shin said from the kitchen.
'Good evening mom'. She greeted and sat on the couch.
'You're welcome hun, go take a shower, dinner is almost ready'. Yena nodded and went to her mother giving her a peck before going to her room.
She took off her office clothes and took a hot shower.
She wore a night wear before heading to the dining room.
Despite being the breadwinner of the family, Yena made sure to provide everything her mother and brother needed, and making sure they lived in a conducive home.
Though it was not big or fancy, it was perfect for the family of 3, since they had all they needed and were never lacking.
'I'll arrange the table Mom'. She said to her mother who was already done cooking and was planning on setting the table.
She smiled and nodded before serving the food.
'Yohan, go help mom in the kitchen'. She said to her brother who was watching Tv.
He nodded and ran to the kitchen.
'How was work today, you came quite late than usual'. Her mom said.
They had Already finished eating and Yohan was doing the dishes.
He is 10 years old and at his young age he already learnt how to do most house chores.
'It was fine, I had to check some of the our new stock, and it took longer than expected'. Yena said taking an apple from the fruit plate, taking a bite from it.
'Wow, is so good'. She said chewing it.
Her mom smiled and took hers.
'The new neighbours brought it, you should go say hi tomorrow'. She nodded her head in agreement.
'Yena, guess what?'. Yohan who was already done with the dishes came, rushing to sit beside her.
Yena looked at him, curioused about what he was going to say.
'I learnt to hit a higher note today'.
Mrs Shin chuckled and nodded.
'He really did, I was surprised'.
Yohan has a dream, and that is becoming a famous artist and inspiring a lot of people, so he had to take trainings by himself by watching videos and taking tutorials online.
Yena smiled and ruffled his hair.
'I'll be your manager when you debut okay?'. She requested but Yohan shook his head.
'No you're are going to watch me perform on stage and brag to everyone about being my sister and also you wouldn't have to work by then because I will be spending on you and mom'. He said with a proud smile.
Yena looked at him and nodded with a small smile on her face. She felt the urge to tear up at her brother's dream but she couldn't, she didn't want them feeling hurt.
She looked at him with determination, she was going to support his dreams, and work hard to make it come true.

As the car slowly approached the building, Chaeyoung noticed a black car parked just in front of the building.
She raised her brows in confusion as she was not expecting anyone.
She squirted her eyes, noticing a figure leaning against the car, wearing an all black suit matching the car, which made it difficult to notice his presence.
The figure looked familiar, she tried to think of the person but no one came to mind.
As the car slowly approached the building she had a clearer picture of the person.
Her expression turned cold, she asked the driver to stop, she got down from the car and asked the driver to leave.
She got down from the car and walked towards the unwanted guest at her house.
'Elvis..' She called without a trace of emotion in her voice.
Elvis turned around and looked at her, his hands tucked in his pocket, giving her the same cold expression.
'What are you doing here?'. She asked, her hand crossed in front of her chest.
Elvis smiled and shook his head.
'I was just passing by and decided to say hi, Is that wrong?'. He asked, with an unbothered look.
Chaeyoung chuckled at his confidence. The fact that he seemed like he was not doing anything wrong made her chuckle gradually turning into laughter, which only lasted for few seconds.
'You're a really funny person Elvis'. Her face turned dead serious.
'You dare come to my house waiting for me to arrive like a freaking stalker and act like you did nothing wrong'. She shook her head and looked at him.
'Does Nari know about this?'. She asked.
Elvis jaw clenched in anger hearing her words. He felt angry since Chaeyoung was making him seem like someone who was still after her, even when he already had someone else.
'My old man said, don't flatter yourself'. He paused and looked at her with a smirk forming on his lips.
'You think I came here because I missed you or something?'.
Chaeyoung shrugged and shook her head.
'It seem like you're getting me wrong Elvis, I only asked you if Nari knows you are here at my place, I didn't say anything like you missing me, don't flatter yourself Elvis'. She retorted.
Elvis smile gradually turned into anger, Chaeyoung had always had a sharp tongue but he had never experienced it being used on him.
'You should leave now Elvis, I'm really exhausted, and you should go to your sweet and beloved wife'. She said and turned back to leave but he grabbed her hands tightly pulling her back.
Chaeyoung panicked feeling the force from the pull.
'What the f*ck are you doing Elvis, let go right now'. She demanded trying to pull her hand from his tight grip, only making him holding her tighter.
'Elvis let go you're hurting me'. She could feel the pain on her wrist which would already be looking red.
'Listen to me Chaeyoung'. She heard Elvis say, his eyes darkened as he looked at her.
'Let her go, right now'. They heard a familiar voice half screamed in a hushed tone.
They turned around to see Yoonjin, his face darkened with anger, his sharp gaze on Elvis as he slowly approached them.
Elvis grip on Chaeyoung loosened as he tucked his hands in his pocket looking at Yoonjin with an unbothered look.
Yoonjin walked close to him, his face void of any emotions, his fingers clenched in a fist.
'I would have destroyed your face if you didn't have a wedding coming up'. He said through gritted teeth.
He looked at him for a while before walking past him to the Chaeyoung.
He held her hand and pulled her inside the house.
