I NEED YOU NOW

Ji-A couldn’t close her eyes at all. Her thought flew back to Hui-Jun. She already deleted all of their picture together on her phone. She even delete her SNS account that she create together with Hui-Jun and keep it private only for both of them. During when they were still together Hui-Jun will upload all of his picture or activity when they’re apart. So did Ji-A. She then delete it and silently cried. Hui-Jun also already moving on from her. So she should get over it too and doing it strong with Gyeong-Su. Ji-A wipe her tears and get up. She headed to the kitchen to get some drink and find Gyeong-Su busy in front of the refrigerator.

“Oppa do you need something?” Ji-A found Gyeong-Su digging into the fridge.

“Did I wake you up?”Gyeong-Su smirked that Ji-A caught him in the act.

“I’m not asleep yet, do you want something?” Ji-A approaching him. After living with Gyeong-Su, Ji-A notice that Gyeong-Su has a habit that repeating for some nights, he will wake up in the middle of the night and looking for something sweet. Since then Ji-A always have ice cream, pudding, cakes and even whipped cream on the fridge.

“The pudding that Ji-Yeon eonnie made was very delicious, I want to eat that again..” Gyeong-Su still looking inside the fridge for his pudding.

“I will get that for you,” Ji-A pull Gyeong-Su wheelchair and put him at the kitchen bar. Ji-A then took out the pudding and put it on the plates. One for him and one for her.

“Why you always craving for sweets in the middle of the night?” ask Ji-A while adding some whipped cream at the pudding.

“Because I’m having nightmare..” Gyeong-Su keep eating his pudding.

“What nightmare?” Ji-A ask again while pumping more whipped cream on Gyeong-Su plate.

“I think there’s monster under my bed...” said Gyeong-Su.

“Eeeyyy.... what are you? Preschool kid?? Even Seo-Jun and Seo-Eun never said that line..” Ji-A glance at him, and they both laugh.

“Ji-A ah, honestly I’m scare...” Gyeong-Su look at her.

“Why?” Ji-A ask.

“I’m affraid I cannot walk again...even the surgery is a success but the turning point is the training I’m going to face after this..” Gyeong-Su look at her.

Ji-A look at him and hold his hand, “Oppa you haven’t begin it but yet you already scared...you should scare at me not to your training..” Ji-A smile at him.

“Why I should scared of you?” Gyeong-Su ask.

“Because I will nagging you the whole time if you give up..you know really well how noisy I am when I’m nag..” said Ji-A.

“Beside you have me...why you should be scare? You surely will run iin the marathon again, play basketball again, I will stay with you and make it happen..” Ji-A hold his hand.

Gyeong-Su smiling, “Thank you..” Gyeong-Su cupped her face.

“For what again?” Ji-A look at him.               

“For giving me strength when I need it..” Gyeong-Su kiss her and hug her after.

“It’s not me who cheer you up tonight...it’s the pud..” said Ji-A. Gyeong-Su smile hearing that but Gyeong-Su stop her from talking and kiss her again.

Hui-Jun is on break on his pictorial magazine shoot. He will change to the next outfit after this. He take out his phone thinking on texting Yu-Mi asking where will they go for dinner tonight. But then he look at the ** logo, he paused. He remember about the ** account that he and Ji-A created just for the two of them. No one followed them and they didn’t followed anyone too, the setting is private so no one will able to see what happen inside the account as well. The account full with picture of two of them together in different styles and places and time. Suddenly Hui-Jun miss it, he click on the instaram icon, and wait it reloaded. But then he's on his login screen now, he is feeling weird, then he type his username and password. But then it’s failed. He do it again but still failed.

“Noona do you know what is the meaning of this?? I cannot open my account..” Hui-Jun ask his stylist.

“Hui-Jun ah it seems the id is deleted..” said his stylist.

“What deleted?? Who delete it..I’m not..” Hui-Jun confuse, but then he remember that Ji-A also access on this **.

“Oh forget it noona...I did it..” said Hui-Jun.

“You realy need to go on vacation Hui-Jun ah, you are working too much..” his stylist then leave to prepare Hui-Jun next appearance.

Hui-Jun stare at his phone, “Did I hurt you a lot? You even remove the last thing we owned together..” Hui-Jun mumbling. He then go into his hidden folder in his phone and tap on Ji-A picture he took when she’s asleep, “I miss you, I keep thinking her is you whenever she’s with me...”

“Why are you here?” Hyeon-U shake his hand.

“Oh no.. I’m here to see VP Jeong Ki-Woo..” Hui-Jun answer.

“Jeong Ki-Woo? From rehab centre? Why?” Hyeon-U suspicious, he know that Baek Rehabilitation Centre is start hiring and the building progress already 75% and Jeong Ki-Woo the highest person in that project.

Hui-Jun smiling, “Have you eat? I haven’t had breakfast..”

They arrive at Ha-Nui place and see her busy serving the customer, Ha-Nui see Hyeon-U and a man with mask and sunglasses enter her restaurant.

“Noona, annyeong..” Hui-Jun lower his sunglasse a bit so Ha-Nui can recognize him.

Ha-Nui smiling to see him, “How are you? It’s been years already for us not see each other..” Ha-Nui hug Hui-Jun.

They sit in private cubical and Ha-Nui serve them many dishes.

“Waahh noona, I’ve never been served like this before..” Hyeon-U jealous with how Ha-Nui spoiled Hui-Jun right now.

“It’s not he will come here everyday like you...also I need his signature and picture so I can print it into huge banner and put it outside..” Ha-Nui wink at Hui-Jun.

“There...all of these are your favourite, I will be outside just call me if you need anything..” Ha-Nui said.

“So what is the secret that make you visit VP Jeong Ki-Woo?” Hyeon-U curious.

Hui-Jun look at him, Hyeon-U raise his right hand, “I swear I won’t tell Ji-A anything..and Mi-Yeon, and Bora...swear!” he swear. Hui-Jun laugh.

“I was meeting Ji-Yeon noona last week, she was asking about me as the face of the Rehabilitatioin centre, so today I’m meeting VP Jeong Ki-Woo to talk about that..” explain Hui-Jun.

Hyeon-U put his hand on his mouth, “Daebak!!”

“Hyung..I know this project is a big one, Taeyang group, Hyeonsei, and Wang group chip in money on it, it will be the largest rehabilitation centre in asia ever...many atheletes from other countries are expected to be treated in here too...wuahh...hyung...” Hyeon-U so amazed by him, “Hyung how much they give you for the contract?” Hyeon-U smirked.

Hui-Jun laugh, “I don’t think I will be a millionaire with that contract...”

“2 of my colleagues from ortho were offered to be joining them, they got a better payment and now they’re at France for studying at their rehabilitation centre with all budget covered by the company..now they’re recruiting many of nurses with specialization on medical rehabilitation.” said Hyeon-U.

“They’re not interesting on you?” Hui-Jun ask.

Hyeon-U shook his head, “Jae-Hwan hyung tied my neck so close with him..he’ll curse me and make my future in black if I ever try to run from him..”

“Hahahaha I guess he love you so much...” Hui-Jun said.

“I guess so...the competition in cardio and neuro is fierce...Ji-A is lucky she can get opportunity abroad, so when she’s comeback, she already had position in her hand..” Hyeon-U said, but then he realized he’s making a mistake. He carefully look at Hui-Jun.

“That’s fine..it’s nice to hear about her once in a while...” Hui-Jun said.

Hyeon-U stuffed his mouth with lots of food to stop him from talking another things about Ji-A.

“How is she?” Hui-Jun ask.

“Honestly?” Hyeon-U ask him back, “She regret everything, she’s walking in her mistake but she’s surviving...” he said.

“She.....already know about you and Yu-Mi...” Hyeon-U add.

“Ah...sure..everyone know about that..” Hui-Jun smile ironically.

“How about she and Gyeong-Su? Are they dating now?” Hui-Jun ask again.

Hyeon-U thinking how to answer that, he can see that Hui-Jun still love his bestfriend, and Ji-A too. But fate is playing harsh with them right now.

“I don’t know about whether they’re dating or not right now, but he is the closest one to her right now, and she need someone...” said Hyeon-U.

“I see..” Hui-Jun nodding.

“Hyung...if you’re meant for each other you’ll meet your way to be together again...” Hyeon-U said.

“I wish...but I don’t think that will happen...” Hui-Jun smile bitterly.

“Eomma...I need to see some shoes for work, mine is already worn out...” Ji-A start loosing her patience looking at her mom still busy picking bag.

At the front a woman and her assistant come in, the other shop assistant hurriedly approach her, its Yu-Mi, the actress.

“Annyeonghaseyo Yu-Mi shi, are you here for a bag?” the shop assistant greet her.

Yu-Mi smile and nod, “Eonnie I need a bag for travelling, not too big so I can carry it but not too small too, since I need to take few things with me..” she said.

“Ah...this way...” the shop assistant show her the way.

“Where is Seul-Gi eonnie?” Yu-Mi ask her.

“Ah we have a VIP guest, so Seul-Gi eonnie is serving them right now at the VIP room...” she answer.

Yu-Mi nod, “Who?? A chaebol?? A politician?? Actress too?” Yu-Mi curious.

“Ah..that’s her daughter..” the shop assistant whisper and point at Ji-A who’s standing not far from them looking at the bags, “The VIP guest is madam Lee Mi-Na and her maknae daughter from the Baek Medical International..” the shop assistant whisper.

Yu-Mi suddenly stop her steps, she know exactly who the woman standing not far from her. She once see her picture at one of Hui-Jun drawer at her bedroom, where Hui-Jun secretly put. Even when Hui-Jun and Ji-A still dating and news were all over her, but the media never get a full picture of the woman named Baek Ji-A, the pictures they have were blurry or taken from afar, some rumors said the family are protecting her by hiring an IT geeks to remove all of her pictures that spread in the internet. But accidentally she found one picture of her from Hui-Jun drawer when she was looking for a nail clipper. Hui-Jun hide the picture secretly, and Yu-Mi remember exactly the face of the woman that make Hui-Jun loose half of his will to alive properly.

Yu-Mi stare at her, watching every inch of her trying to memorize her style. Yu-Mi curious what is Ji-A doing in Korea, as per she know Baek Ji-A should be in USA right now. She dig the information so hard from Hui-Jun stylist, the information that cost a set of chanel make up.

“If that can make Hui-Jun happy to be with me, just be it...” she said in her mind.

Ji-A feel strange, she feel someone is watching her. She look around scanning the store, then her eyes fixed to a woman who wear nice fuschia dress whose now staring at her too. Their eyes meet, and in second Ji-A realize who the woman is..both are in very awkward state. Without saying anything both are know each other and their story too.

“Its the actress...”she turn her body right away trying to avoid Yu-Mi. Her heart racing so fast. She try her best to act naturally as if she never know her.

Right on time Mi-Na done with her shopping,

“Ji-A lets go now..” she call for her daughter.

“Yes eomma...” Ji-A quickly answer and leave the spot. She passed Yu-Mi and she smile a little bit at her.

Yu-Mi startled a bit when Ji-A throw a small smile at her, then she watch Ji-A leave with her eyes.

“You’re home? I thought your schedule is until 9...” Yu-Mi surprise to see Hui-Jun already at home.

Hui-Jun just finish his shower when he see Yu-Mi coming,

“Why you’re here?” Hui-Jun rubbing his wet hair. Yu-Mi run and hug him immediately,

“This sexy man is mine...” she jump into Hui-Jun and say that to him. Hui-Jun just laugh when he heard that. She is begin to kiss his forehead, then down to his nose then his both cheek and his lips. They kiss passionately and Hui-Jun take her to the bed and both laying together. As the kiss goes deeper and Hui-Jun start to trace her neck. She tilt her neck give Hui-Jun space to explore more, then Yu-Mi lift up his shirt...and Hui-Jun suddenly stop.

“Why?” Yu-Mi whisper, their romance to be always end like this when Yu-Mi reach for his shirt or try to undress him.

Hui-Jun smiling apologetically, he rub Yu-Mi head softly, “Later...I don’t want we go too far. I’m sorry...but I want to keep that special things for later..” he said in very soft tone as usual.

Yu-Mi smile, she is trying her best to hide her disappointment, “Its fine..You’re right..” she said and Hui-Jun smile at her.

Hui-Jun get up and goes to the kitchen to take some beers from the fridge. Yu-Mi see and invitation at the table, she grab it and pull it out the envelope.

“Ah...I was calling Beom-Seok oppa asking about you but then he said you already home since hour ago..so here I am..” said Yu-Mi, “Whose wedding is this?” Yu-Mi show the invitation card to Hui-Jun. Hui-Jun pass the beer to her and sit next to her.

“Ah...its Nam Dong-Hyeok, the maknae of Taeyang group...I was endorse the CF for their high end electronic...The wedding is tomorrow at the Shilla” Hui-Jun hide the fact that he got invited not because of that, also he’s not mentioning that Dong-Hyeok’s bride is Ji-A bestfriend.

“Taeyang group?” Yu-Mi kinda remember of something, she then realize something.

“So that’s why she’s here...” Yu-Mi mumbling. Hui-Jun think he heard something, his eyes fixed to the television watching the sports channel.

“Who’s here?” Hui-Jun ask.

Yu-Mi sip her beer and take a deep breath, “Baek Ji-A... I just saw her at Shinsegae before I came here...she was shopping with her mom...we.....she...well..she and I kinda realize each other..she know who I am..and I know who she is...for you..” Yu-Mi tell Hui-Jun about her accidentally meeting with Ji-A.

Hui-Jun froze, his thought running wild and everything about Ji-A just come to his head right now. He try so hard to hide his emotion, Yu-Mi carefully sneak her eyes to Hui-Jun, but Hui-Jun seem calm and still watching television and sipping his beer.

“You met her? Aahh...her family is the Taeyang group inlaw...” Hui-Jun said calmly.

“Yeah I just remember that....” Yu-Mi sound so fragile. Hui-Jun look at her and hold her hand,

“I don’t have anything with her right now...It’s you now....don’t think anything weird..” Hui-Jun comfort her. Yu-Mi stare straight to his eyes, she is looking for something in him,

“Please don’t come to the wedding. The thoughts of you meeting her even in our situation right now terrified me....I really do not have confidence when its about her...help me on this...” Yu-Mi beg.

Hui-Jun look at her, playing with her hair. He then get up and take his phone.

“Eo Dong-Hyeok ah...its me..”

“I receive the invitation...hmmm but I don’t think I can make it...sorry”

“Eo...I have schedule exactly tomorrow and its not in Seoul..”

“No...I can’t cancel it because its a CF making...it will be quite troublesome for me if I cancel or re-schedule it...really sorry Dong-Hyeok ah...”

“Eo...I will send you the gift okay?”

“Anyway congratulations and send my wishes to the bride...”

Hui-Jun look at Yu-Mi and smile.

“I won’t come.... Let’s go on a date tomorrow...” Hui-Jun said to her.

Yu-Mi get up and hug him tight, “Thank you...I love you...” she said.

At night Hui-Jun can’t close his eyes. He keep staring at his picture with Ji-A, the one he keep until now and hide it at the bottom of his bedside drawer. He then get up and take his car key, he drive very fast and arrive in front of Baek residence. He park there and watch at the entry gate, wishing he could see someone that he’s been dreaming of,

“I really miss you...please come out even for a second so I can see your face. I really hate Gyeong-Su, because he get to have you, what are we doing Ji-A....” he said.

Ji-A is sitting in the car at the parkir area near Hui-Jun villa, she stare exactly at the window that she know very well.

“Oppa...are you doing good? I miss you a lot....I saw your girlfriend and I really envy her...because she has you....” she’s talking by herself.

Both are busy with their own thoughts and the longing feeling for each other. They both leave after stay for quite long time, and just like how fate playing with them, Ji-A car show up right after Hui-Jun leave the place.

“I know...no one beat me today...” she’s laughing happily.

“Here..” Hyeon-U pass her the bouquet, “I’m a man....a man!! Why the hell I must do the bridemaids...” he is complaining.

Ji-A and Mi-Yeon laugh to see him acting like that, “Its a good thing that I’m not put you in the gown...you should thanked me...” Mi-Yeon talk back to him.

“Iiisssh...” Hyeon-U glancing at her.

“Lets take picture...the three of us...” Ji-A suggested.

Then Hyeon-U sit in the middle, with Ji-A and Mi-Yeon escorting him by his sides, the photografer take their picture in many angles and poses.

“When do you come back to US?” Mi-Yeon ask.

“Tonight...the last flight..I’m going to the airport from here..” said Ji-A.

“You look too pretty today....don’t take everyone attention from me..” Mi-Yeon said to Ji-A. Ji-A only laugh to hear that.

“Hurry back...I feel so lonely, this jackass is sooo busy and keep ignoring me. When he had time he always go in a rush to see Bora...” Mi-Yeon complaining.

Ji-A hug her, “Be happy with Dong-Hyeok...I will come back for sure later..Tell me right away when that Nam treated you bad....” she said.

“What will you do?” Mi-Yeon ask.

“I’ll kill him, so you’ll get a lot of his shares at Taeyang and split it into the three of us...” said Ji-A.

“I like that...” Hyeon-U approve.

“Aahhh...you both are the worst friend ever....even in my wedding day you already plan to kill my husband...” Mi-Yeon shook her head.

“Excuse me...the ceremony will begin...” the assistant show up in their room.

Mi-Yeon get up, Ji-A and the assistant help her fix her wedding dress. Hyeon-U then stand beside her and offer his arm.

“Come.. Lets walk the aisle to your happiness...” he said. Mi-Yeon dad already passed away about 10 years, Hyeon-U is the one that walk Mi-Yeon in the aisle, as Mi-Yeon ask him to do that.

The ceremony goes as beautiful as the ballroom decoration, it all white and cherry blossom trees in every corner of it, just like how Mi-Yeon love the spring, Dong-Hyeok make her fairy tale wedding come true. Ji-A keep scanning the room with her eyes, Hyeon-U aware what is his bestfriend looking,

“He’s not coming..” Hyeon-U said.

Ji-A blushing knowing Hyeon-U catch her intention, “Ah...”

“Dong-Hyeok said he already has schedule today, he called yesterday..” said Hyeon-U.

“Who’s not coming?” Bora show up with 3 champagne on her hand, she give one to Hyeon-U and the other to Ji-A.

“I thought you wouldn’t coming, since no one invite you...” Ji-A greet Bora.

“Crazy bitch...” Bora greet her back.

“You make promise.... You don’t know what I have more in my phone..” Hyeon-U glancing at Ji-A. Ji-A look at Hyeon-U irritated,

“Daebak...even now you pick her side...” she give up.

“What? There’s no more from you?” Bora ask Ji-A, she is ready for their “battle”.

“I’m not in the mood...later....” Ji-A reply and sip her champagne.

“How is USA?” Bora ask.

“Boring....” Ji-A said.

“Then come home.... You will never get bored with me...” said Bora.

Ji-A look at her...”Iisshh I can’t believe I even agree to that sentence....” she laugh.

“Don’t be friend with her...she eat you alive...” Hyeon-U warn his girlfriend.

“I know...she is poisonous...” Bora agree.

“But no one can live without me....” Ji-A reply them back.

Ji-A watch Mi-Yeon who is now greeting the guests with Dong-Hyeok, “She is so happy today, Dong-Hyeok really make her smiling like that...she look so pretty...”

“When you’re a bride you will too...my sister told me that...” Bora said.

“If you marry the man of your life..... you will...” Ji-A mumbling.

Suddenly Bora hold her hand, “You will...you are....I heard how Gyeong-Su oppa wait for you... To have a great man love you like that its enough, try to forget the past, you won’t be happy in anything if you stuck to the past...I miss my enemy too...you’re becoming so weak now...” she surpisingly cheer up Ji-A, even Hyeon-U surprised too, he’s rubbing Bora head proudly.

Ji-A is speechless to hear Bora say that to her, “It is really a weird day, first I agree to you, then now you make me fluttered...you are dangerous...I almost fell on your spell...” Ji-A laughing, but then she smile sincerely to Bora and hold her hand back.

“Eo...I’m having dinner with Yu-Mi shi..” Hui-Jun talk in his phone, then he give Yu-Mi sign that he need to get out for a while to take the phone.

“Wait, I’m not hearing you clear right now...” Hui-Jun walk out from the dinner room.

“You can speak now..” he said.

“Is she really here? You see her?”

“Until when?”

“Ah she already at Incheon now..”

“How is she?”

“Aahh... I get that...’

“No..you dont have to send me the picture...hehehhe it will make me more pathetic...”

“Please make sure she get into the plane safely...wait until the plane boarding will you?”

“Beom-Seok ah...thank you...”

Hui-Jun put down the phone, he personally ask Beom-Seok to check on Ji-A quietly. He then back to the dinner room where Yu-Mi waiting for him.

“Who is that?” Yu-Mi ask.

“Beom-Seok...” Hui-Jun reply.

“Is there something urgent?” Yu-Mi worry.

“Oh nothing...its only about the meeting result..” Hui-Jun lie, “Let’s eat...we’re going to missed the movie if we stay too long...” he said.

Yu-Mi smile and nod. Suddenly Yu-Mi phone rings,

“Oh its my manager...” Yu-Mi read the screen.

“Oppa...what happen?”

“Ah..I’m with Hui-Jun shi right now...”

“What?! Right now?!!...oohh...” Yu-Mi look confuse...

“Arrgghh... ottokachi....” she is mumbling.

“Arasso...oppa just pick me up in here, I will text you the address...” Yu-Mi end the phone call.

She look at Hui-Jun,

“I think I have to go now...” Yu-Mi said while texting the address of the restaurant to her manager.

“Something happen?” Hui-Jun ask.

“The movie that I interested...the one I told you before, we thought the production team already agree to choose me as the leading lady. But then somehow out of the blue the writer said I’m not the one he think suitable for the role, I need to see him right now...” Yu-Mi sound panicked and irritated by the news dropped by her manager.

Hui-Jun understand her worry very well, Yu-Mi reject a drama and other movie offering because she really want to be in this one, “Be careful, I will be at home if you need me just call I will go to your place..” Hui-Jun help her with her coat and hand her bag.

On her way to the meeting venue Yu-Mi looking for something on her bag,

“Ah...I accidentally take this....” She find Hui-Jun ipad air on her bag. Hui-Jun was put it on her bag before they go into the restaurant.

She take out the ipad and its locked, “Hemmm whaat is the password....” she is wondering.

She think of some numbers but then the key password to Hui-Jun place catch her attention, “But the digits for the key is 6...its only need 4... should I try its the same number anyway...” she is mumbing. She then tapping on number “0101” then tap the enter, and its open.

“Well that’s easy....” she is proud of herself.

She open the gallery, its full with Hui-Jun works and pictorial session. She goes to the video folder, she find many of Hui-Jun scenes from CF making and his last drama. Hui-Jun has habit to record his work and rewatch it at home to learn about his acting. She swipe until bottom of the gallery and find a video that catch her eyes. She tap on the video and play it.

“Ahjumma what are you doing?” Hui-Jun voice heard, looks like he’s filming the girl who’s folding the laundry.

“This ahjumma is folding your clothes...after picking up the clothes you throw as you wish in the bedroom, and wash it and now I’m folding it...” the girl that Yu-Mi know as Ji-A answer.

“Good girl...” Hui-Jun teasing her.

“Don’t throw your clothes again, look at here..” Ji-A then walk to the bedroom and show at the camera the black laundry basket.

“I bought this and put it in here so you can put your dirty clothes in here, not scattered those on the floor...” she is nagging at him.

“Yeeesss ahjumma....” Hui-Jun keep teasing on her.

“Ahjumma...try to call me that once more..” Ji-A threatened him.

“Or what? Are you punishing me?” Hui-Jun sound so happy.

Ji-A just laugh to hear that, “Heol!! I forgot this man is really love punishment...”

“Ahjumma...ahjumma...ahjumma...ahjumma...” Hui-Jun laughing hard.

“YA!!!!!” Ji-A run to catch him,

Then the ipad only record fast moving object because they’re running and laughing so happy. The next thing Yu-Mi heard is Hui-Jun seems like able to catch Ji-A and Ji-A screaming ask him to put her down while laughing, and the recording ended just like that.

“I never know that my Hui-Jun is so cheerful like that...” Yu-Mi whisper. She look at the window,

“I really need to win his heart, even I should be like her....” she decided the changes of her life.

“Call me right away when you landed...” Mi-Na fix Ji-A coat.

“Arasso...” Ji-A nod.

“I will call Min-Sook ahjumma to cook delicious meal for you when you’re arrive...” said Mi-Na.

“You must be really like it that ahjumma finally can come and stay with us..” Ji-A said.

“I am....Now I can be at ease, you can focus on Gyeong-Su therapy and your fellowship. I feel so bad that you have to work so hard doing house chores and everything...Look at you..you look so skinny, and you’re not eating much because you tired...” Mi-Na look so worry.

“Eomma...don’t worry too much...I am fine..really...Gyeong-Su oppa treat me so well, he really do..” Ji-A assure her.

“Hurry back...I don’t have someone I can be scold at...The house is so empty without you...Even I always scold you you know that I love you the most...” Mi-Na hug her.

“Eomma...then would you give me the house? Tell Jae-Hwan oppa to stay at another place and give the house to me...” Ji-A teasing her mom.

“Arasso...I will tell my husband to give the house to you...I will make sure he do that...if that can bring back my Ji-A back...” Mi-Na reply.

Then both of them gigling, then they heard the call announcement for Ji-A flight. Ji-A hug her mom once again,

“Eomma...I will come back once everything settle...saranghae eomma..” Ji-A wave at her mom.

Mi-Na smiling and wave her back, she leave after Ji-A disappear from her sight.
