22 Lost One

The arrival of Kim Tae Ho was a big deal, Akane saw it in the headlines and every news channel that day. The man was no commoner so the media and paparazzi fussing over his appearance was understandable. He was one of the top fashion designer and a model and exceptionally good one at that and THAT his other half, his husband was also a famous personality which only boost their appearance to general public eye. The paparazzi didn't noticed the producer though, since he was all covered up in black from head to toe. Typical Joon Ki.

She also caught glimpse of the three kids of Tae Ho from the news, and she's honestly surprised that the man didn't adopted more than three kids with the obvious black card he earned. Tae Ho loves little naughty creatures called childrens, it was a fact she'd known since they were playmates.

AND Akane also knows that Jin Kwang will disclose the fact that she is alive and is here in Seoul. She can already imagine the drama.

At The Kim Residential:

It will be chaotic, with Tae Ho it's always been loud and chaotic. Jin Kwang has been dreading the visit of his own brother to be honest. Meanwhile his wife seemed happy and cheerful as she cooks for them as they wait for the trouble makers.

"Daddy, when is uncle coming?" Jun Kwang, the younger of his twins ask with a dramatic sigh, "They're twenty minutes late already?!"

"Twenty five minutes late, you calculate wrong Junjun." Ahmi the older sister to the boy snaps smugly and smirks up at father.

He can hear his wife laughing to the side but he don't know if he should be grateful that his kids inherited his wife's brain or be irritated by it. It's amazing how their twins got his good looks and his wife's intelligent, it was a good combination. just not when they use their brains against him. Jin Kwang couldn't even win a single argument against his own wife and their kids were getter far smarter than their mother everyday.

"Poor uncle Kim, getting roasted like a meat." Oh Ran comments and the whole family burst out laughing.

The twins were laughing like mad man and Namjoo was giggles unstoppably while the culprit was grinning mischievously.

"How are you this smart?" Jin Kwang grumbles, "I know your father and he only knows how to make hit music with that brain of his while your mother has a single brain cell!!"

"Jin Kwang!" Namjoo yells and turn sharply with a pointed look and the kids stopped smiling. "Apologise, now!"

"It's okay aunty, it's not like uncle is telling lies anyway." Oh Ran speaks up with a chuckle, "She do have single brain cell, that's why she left my genius musical father and equally genius daughter." she says with a shrug of her shoulders and she seemed so honest that Namjoo smiles at her sadly.

"But I shouldn't have had that and I'm genuinely sorry." Jin Kwang apologies and the girl just smiles and waves him off, like an adult.

"When did you got so mature? You use to be our little dumpling with that mochi cheeks." Jin Kwang ask teasingly but it seem to have made the two twins curiously lean forward on the table towards the younger child.

"Living with aunty Kim did that to me." Oh Ran proudly says with a bright smile.

Jin Kwang actually prayed unconsciously for his wife to not heard that but he luck off.

"Is that how you call her? she might just be your stepmother any day now." Namjoo chuckles, her mood lifting with the new topic and Ran giggles at it. Now done with the dinner and actually bringing the dishes to the table with the twins helping her.

"What's her full name?" Namjoo asks and although it was absentmindedly but Jin Kwang was already afraid of how she will react. He hasn't told his wife for the reason that's she can get really into her lawyer persona when she inquiries people she thinks is shady. His wife is scarier than him when she wants to be.

"Kim Akane, she said she changed it since it fits her." Oh Ran cheerfully replies-

-just as the three kids come running in with three adults behind them. Jin Kwang didn't even heard them coming in.

Then it was a chaos and the topic about Akane was forgotten, for now.

"Joon Ki, come let's talk." Jin Kwang called the man and they left the table as soon as they finished eating. He leads the younger towards the back door and into the yard, away from the chattering adults and kids alike.

"What is it?" Joon Ki asks as they step under the gazebo and sat by the chairs there. The older seem serious and it was making him nervous.

"It's about Eun Yoon and how are we gonna tell them." Jin Kwang says with a sighs, his gaze on the back door to look out if anyone followed them out.

"She knows that you will tell Tae Ho so she's a bit more .... reserved nowadays, even towards me. She doesn't constantly check up on me like she use to." Joon Ki chuckles as he waits for the older to say what he's actually thinking.

"I think it's better if we talk to them at the same time, how about it?"

"Tae gonna scream his head off and I don't ever wanna be there." Joon Ki instantly comments, "Why don't I talk to Namjoo noona and you talk to the kid? sounds good?"

"Easy one for you but alright, it's better I talk to Tae anyway."

"About what?!" Tae Ho yells as he comes with his husband jogging towards them, with wide smiles as they slides into the empty chairs.

"Hyung? about what?" Tae Ho questions, eyes staring back and forth between the two older men.

"I'll be with noona, hyung talk!" Joon Ki quickly patted the older's shoulder and walks away from the gazebo back to the house.

"Is it something serious, I can go?" Justin, Tae Ho's husband ask but Jin Kwang waves him off.

"Stay and hold down Taetae if he starts yelling." Jin Kwang teasing said, but he really did want the man to hold his brother still.

"Hyung, you're making me nervous so just tell me what is it?!" Tae Ho whines and lean back on his seat.

Jin Kwang looks at Justin, who nods his head and warps his arms around his husband in understanding.

"Tae-ah, Eun Yoon is alive."

The first few seconds were silence, then Tae Ho chuckles with a bright smile but it turn sad as the seconds go by. The two other men were surprised he was being calm about it.

"Really?!" Tae Ho breaths a little faster, "Where she was all this time, when did you find out? why didn't you tell me sooner?! WHERE IS SHE NOW?!!"

Jin Kwang watch as Justin calm down his brother with whispering soothing words and back rubs, few kisses on his face and neck. Minutes went away by the time Tae Ho calm down and breathing normal again.

"Are you okay now?" Jin Kwang took his brother's hand since he knows that affection calm the younger.

"Do you know where she is?"
