Lee Min Hong was sitting on the plane back to  Seoul from USA.

He was very tired even if it was first class seat section. It was about 14 hours at fastest from California to Seoul. He sat up from his seat and then lay back again.

Just then, an air hostess came to his said.

"Sir, do you need any help?" , she asked.

Lee Min Hong looked up at her.

He was both happy and surprised.

"Soo Bin yah!" he said.

The lady smiled and said...

"You seemed uncomfortable sir...so I just come to hand you this soft blanket. You can use it as a pillow...it is so soft and comfortable..lean on it!"

"No...lady...I am perfectly fine but if you insist I don't mind taking it...oh..and please can I get a bottle of water!"

He is looking at the flight menu book.

"Yes, sir!Wait for a moment please!"

Chae Soo Bin left for awhile and and came back with a bottle of water.

The payment done.

"It must be destiny!"

He smiled at her back and held her fair hands.

"Soo Bin yah.. yep the destiny ... " His face was all lighten up and so was hers.

"How come Mr Lee Min Hong is going to the east ..Korea. I thought he was made for the west!"

Lee Min Hong laughed.

"Because I'm an easterner....No, lady, I'm on business again!"

"Hmm...so you are the easterner...." , Chae Soo Bin's face was looking priceless serious.

"Listen, Mr Big Brother, I dreamt last night that you finally will be destined with an easterner lady on coming days!"

That made the gentleman laughed again.

"No, Soo Bin, I will be doing a lot of projects on this long business trip. There's just so many plans!"

Chae Soo Bin nodded.

"Umm... many plans, trust me big bro... you really need the next Mrs Lee... just forget about last one...the visitors..!"

"Visitors!" He asked as he didn't know whom she was talking about.

"I mean those ladies that you have been fooling around these years after she left you.. you definitely need

Lee Min Hong and Chae Soo Bin were not blood related. However, as his mother had married her uncle, they became relatives. Lee Min Hong's stepfather and his mother settled in the California for his business there. Chae Soo Bin's family had always been in South Korea. Chae Soo Bin's was very proud of herself for herself becoming an air hostess fly over the world out of her homeland, especially because of people said she could never become one.

Lee Min Hong and Chae Soo Bin were closed enough whenever he was back in Korea for a time or she was on tour to USA.

Chae Soo Bin was a delicate looking creature.  When she grew to become a lady, she was pretty with her medium height, slender body and fair skin. She was a very shy creature. Her relatives tend to think she might not be capable of a lot of communications. But she tried to persued the job that had to related to communications in many ways. Never known what has inspired her to become a flight attendant, her parents would never understood their intelligent daughter persued this career which they considered the job to unsettling and did not need lots of intelligence. Chae Soo Bin would just told them.

"At least, I'm flying above at clouds. I just feel like I'm an angel on the sky!"

And her parents would laugh. And Chae Soo Bin was really happy with her experiences as a flight hosting and flying over countries and countries. Besides, she just enjoyed wearing her beautiful classic blue formal uniform and classic make up. She was born for this.

She was known to have crush on her unrelated big cousin because he encouraged her in everything. When everyone said she was pale, he would said she was fair. When they said she delicate, he said she was strong. When they said she was shy, he said she had confident within.

Chae Soo Bin had thought Lee Min Hong was her dream man. Especially when he became fully grown up man. He was well built, combination of both fair and tan skin, and had a little bit of delicate yet a manly expression. He was a true gentleman and successful in studies and work as well.

They were pretty much like siblings.

Finally, Lee Min Hong got married to a beautiful elegant woman from high middle class whom his stepfather was fond her to become their daughter in law. Mrs Lee, Min Hong's did not have any objections. They must had met during business meeting.

It was then that Chae Soo Bin realised that her heart do not break as she had expected. Maybe she did not fall in love with him as she some imagine.

But the marriage did not last for long. There were so many gossips about his wife cheating with other men.

Chae Soo Bin felt very sorry for him. She knew that he kind of went into depression after that although he acted strong on the outside. He went out with and date a lot of women after that too.. including married women.

But it was four years ago, Lee Min Hong had gone to work in Seoul , as a hotel manager, as one of his aunts had suggested if he wished to get the experience working in other works which is not his own family company. There he met another lady, Bang Seungwan or Wendy, who was in the managing team of the hotel. He seemed to be taking a like to her. But she married the owner of the hotel instead. Nonetheless, this Wendy seemed to have some influences on Lee Min Hong. He was so happy that Wendy was very much in love with her husband. There must be something. Even after Lee Min Hong came back to California to help his stepfather's business, he had never been any other women again.

"Umm ..I hope my big brother find another Wendy who reciprocate him very soon!"

Chae Soo Bin finally said and left.

Lee Min Hong watched Chae Soo Bin as she left. She indeed had become a charming woman.

He was going back to Korea again for business. This time was with his stepfather's newest partner in business of trading furnitures and properties.(Lee Min Hong's stepfather work as agency and designing the furniture and properties. He opened his office in California because of international requirements on the agency especially in the western countries but lately he also get of offered from Asian side including Korean and China, for the designing and promotion of properties and he got to even buy shares from one particular partner for this business which they were to build a new condo). Lee Min Hong was coming on behalf of his stepfather who had just passed away not so long ago.

Lee Min Hong just got to know not long ago that the family was his biological father lawful family by his own mother. It did not seem like, the family had known about him and his stepfather yet, and Lee Min Hong was imagining about his step family before he heard a Instagram text message from his phone. He checked the message. It was an invitation to one his friends' wedding which will be taking place in Busan in near coming days.

*********

It was only a few days after her friend's funeral, Rose's family received an invitation to her cousin's wedding which will be taking place at Hotel alongside Busan beach.

Rose knew her cousin, Park Soo Young or Joy well. Her cousin was a fun person who fell in love with a man from a high class, but that didn't seem to a problem because she and her boyfriend , now fiance about to marry were in love enough to make it all way through status differences. Nonetheless, his family seemed to have supported her. Rose was happy for Joy. Joy was both lucky in family and in love. Rose felt jealous a little but she put that feeling aside soon.

Her uncle's family, Joy' family came to their village and her husband to be followed later on.

But two days before the wedding of her cousin, Joy, Rose's grandmother came to her.

The grandmother said,

"Rose, I have to tell you something, you know about Shin family. They are doing very in their business. Their eldest son who was now capable of looking after the family business. And yep he needed a good housewife. Shin's family is eying on you, they told me that their son likes you very much. Perhaps you should give them a try. They will be coming to Joy's wedding. So will you get to know him there."

Rose nodded to her grandmother.

"I will see him !" Rose told her grandmother. However, Rose was not ready for anymore relationship of the kind. But she did not want to disappoint her grandmother just yet.

************

The wedding day came.

Joy was getting ready with her white gown. Rose came to help her.

"You look so beautiful today!"

That made Joy's face shown with happiness.

Just then, Joy's best friend, Wendy came in.

Rose looked at the two ladies hugged.

"Congratulations.. dearest Joy!", Wendy said.

"Thank you ....!" said Joy...

Joy looked at Wendy growing stomach.

"I'm really sorry ... that you have to make through here with your expected child.!"

"No..it's ok..we rested and slowly drove to here!.. where are your first twin boy and girl!!

"They are with their granddaddy!"

"Ohh! Yeah I know Mr Bang Si Hyuk loves them so much."

"Is it gonna be a girl or a boy!"

"Umm...we didn't go to check this time. Hosoek said he want a surprise this time since we already had a girl and a boy!"

The talk went on a time..the two friends were very happy. It seemed that they both seemed to have a happy relationship with their love lives.

"Where is our handsome groom?", Wendy finally asked out.

Park Jimin, the groom, and his best friend Jung Hoseok were enjoying themselves with the DJ for the party. They perfectly enjoyed the music. (They were best friends just like their female partners.)

The music was playing..(Euphoria by Jungkook BTS).

You are the sunlight that rose again in my life

A reincarnation of my childhood dreams

I don't know what this emotion is

If this place is also inside a dream

This dream is a blue mirage in the desert

A priori deep inside of me

I'm so happy, I can't breathe

My surroundings are getting more and more transparent

I hear the far-away ocean

Across the dream, over the horizon

I'm going to the place that's getting clearer

Take my hands now

You are the cause of my euphoria

...

"Can you find some other songs more fun than this one!More romantic than this one" , said Park Jimin.

"Which one?!"

"How about "The Perfect Man" by Shinwha!"

"It's a bit old ..are you sure?"

"Umm... maybe the current song is good after all"

"By the way, congratulations for third coming child!.. you guys are real great!"

"You guys can do better!" Hoseok replied.

"Yep ...I'm might be better ..lol... Maybe I might be able to formed an army of national football team with my children!"

Park Jimin sounded seriously. But then both of them laughed.

"Poor Joy!"

....

The wedding party was taken in the cozy wedding hall instead of the big grand hotel as planned before. Yes, roses and other flowers were presented.!

Lee Min Hong entered the wedding party. He enjoyed every sight of it.

Rose happened to walked across the his way. For some reason, their eyes met. But Rose turned away and walked quickly.

Rose was introduced into Shin family, and their eldest son, who said he was interested in her. He looked respectable but definitely not handsome nor friendly. His height was almost same as Rose but when Rose had high heels, she was taller. Rose wasn't fond of Mr Shin at first sight. He seemed to be very proud of everything about himself, his success in business and his looks. He was wearing expensive clothing and expensive accessories.

After talking with him for sometimes, Rose knew that he thought he was above her and she definitely will accept to this relationship. Rose had thought everything she was responsible her family and even thought about agreeing to this marriage without love...but only on business. Nonetheless, in practice, she couldn't do this. She couldn't marry the man she could not respect. She did not like Mr Shin for some reason. And when Shin family and hers taking a picture with Joy and Jimin, Rose was standing beside Mr Shin. Rose could not help herself posing standing straight up. With her shining silver dress and with her tall figure, she definitely looked so gorgeous made Mr Shin beside her looked small. Rose somehow enjoyed this feeling of mocking him. She thought the man was just too proud.

The time for single ladies to take the bridal flowers came. Rose walked away from the group. Maybe this was meant for her at all.

But she had to say she enjoyed this wedding party so much. It was perfect. It wasn't big or grand but looking at the bride and groom and their friends and family, there was harmony. And Joy and Jimin did seemed love each other a lot just by seeing them look at each other and how happy they are. It was perfect. But she had encountered the unexpected disappointment before and that make her afraid to take any chances again.

Rose walked away from the crowd. She looks at the flowers decorations surrounding the garden party ..and picked one red velvet rose from the decorated bush. Most of the time roses used in these decorations didn't have thorns any. But this one had some and it pricked Rose. Blood came out of her finger.

Rose was hurt a little. But then she saw a handkerchief was handed to her by a man. The man who looked at her through eyes not so long ago.
