Which Way is Home? Come Back Now, My Love! You've Been Gone for So Long!

"Ah!"Finally after a long day at the office, I can lay down on my beloved bed and spend the weekend relaxing" Lee Shin exclaimed while slowly removing her business suit and high heels. She is now 28 years old, still single. The last time she had a boyfriend was more than 7 years ago, few months before her father died.

She is the eldest among the four siblings, from a higher middle class family. They own a small publishing company that prints books, novels, local newspapers and specialty papers in their province. She lived an easy life since the business was being managed by her parents. Her father is assigned to the management and financial matter and her mom is assigned on daily operation, while Lee Shin and her other siblings Lee Shina, Lee MingFang and Lee Dionne sometimes takes charge on assisting their mom but most of the time they are just in the house doing their assignment. Everything was easy for them. They are not rich like those people that owns luxuries but enough to eat more than three times a day, enter an exclusive private school and have some house helpers to manage the daily household chores.

They never imagine that their father Lee Geung is already experiencing health problems because he seems so healthy and cheerful outside. Most of the time, he is spending time talking to their mom Lee Eung. Their parents hid the situation of the company facing huge financial lost due to technology innovation and most of their clients are shifting paperless. Due to their business situation, Lee Geung is always having over time in his office and almost neglecting his health.

A year before Lee Shin was about to graduate to college, she received a call from Lee Dionne, her youngest siblings that their father was sent to the hospital and is at critical condition. She is already studying at one of the prestigious university in Thailand in the main city of Bangkok. She hurriedly packed her bags and went to the bus terminal to go home to their province. While on the way back, just few hours after she received the call from her youngest sister, she received a messaged that their father passed away. She cried all throughout the travel and don't know how she managed to be home with her situation. She felt like her world collapse and her heart is being shattered million times. Lee Geung is a good father, he may not be perfect but he did his best to provide for his family and showed his wife and children unconditional love. That's why his children valued and respected the old man.
