Heartbroken.

Yo-Han stood motionless inside the flower shop, he only snapped out of his thoughts when the Shop owner asked again. "Sir, what type of flower would you like?, I would recommend this red roses, they are the symbol of love and signature flowers for Valentine. "

He stammered in response before letting out the words. "Give me some time to decide." He then turned to his phone and immediately dialed a number. " I would make a call and come back to get the flowers" he said to the shop owner who turned to attend to other customers.

Yo-han went outside the shop to make the call and when the line went through, it didn't seem to ring before the second party answered the call. "Brother Yo-Han." A teenage male voice sounded from the other side.

"Hey, Dae-Jung, what's your sisters favorite flower?" He asked bashfully. He was embarrassed to reveal to the youngster his weakness but he had no choice, This is the only one that won't mock him for not knowing much about his girlfriend.

He waited patiently for a response but only after some while did Dae-Jung reply. It was as if he was away from the phone before.

"Brother Yo-Han what are you doing? Someone else just called to inform your girlfriend that he would be taking her out on a date and you are still not here?" The boy spoke as if chiding Yo-han but it sounded as though he was having Yo-Han's back.

"What?!" Yo-han immediately hung up and dashed out of the mall and returned to the car. "Give me the keys you can knock off." He said to Mr Seo the driver and immediately took his position in the driver's seat.

'Is Kim Do-Joon courting death? How dare that idiot have his eyes on my woman. The more reason why I won't accept the Kim family. I am not one of them.'

But no matter what, Park Mit-Eum was one of them so whoever claims to be his father, it directly or indirectly makes him a Kim.

He shrugged off those bitter truths he didn't want to believe and stepped on the gas, speeding off at a dashing speed.

The journey to the Choi family home that should take about fifteen minutes from the mall took only five minutes. Without doubt, he passed by the red lights several times. He stopped the car abruptly outside the gate where Dan-bi just exited. She was heading out of the estate to meet Kim Do-Joon at the place they agreed on.

Seeing the car stop right in front of her, she expected it to be Kim Do-Joon so she stopped and waited for the rider to exit the car. Because the windows were tinted she didn't recognize the rider.

Yo-han stepped out of the car with the gift bag in his hand. He approached Dan-bi indifferently. He didn't want to give of the fact that he didn't want her going out on a date with someone else so he managed to carry himself with great poise.

Upon seeing him, even though something tugged her heart, she still didn't show any emotions. She only watched him close in as if he was a stranger.

Yo-han took each step gracefully and composed. He didn't wear a smile nor beam with warmth because those emotions were no where to be found. If he was Dan-bi, he wouldn't be able to hide his emotions.

He stopped in front of her and passed her the gift bag. " Happy Valentine's day." He said.

She eyed the bag for a while expecting him to withdraw his hands but he remained obstinate and didn't retract his hand.

After standing like that for a while she pitied his hands which were now shaking and received the gift bag from him without a thank you.

"Come on, I will give you a ride. He said and went to open the front passenger door for her but she only turned to walk along the part she had chosen before he arrived. She didn't even speak a word.

Seeing her attitude, it was glaring that she was avoiding him but he was dumbfounded as to why.

He got into his car and trailed behind her, occasionally asking her to hop in but all she did was to increase her pace.

In Dan-bi's mind, the whole situation gave her a nostalgic feeling. Yeah it really is a de javu. This was exactly how Jang Seung-Heon had followed her that afternoon when she rejected to get engaged to him and ran into Yo-Han's embrace instead.

'Are we really going to end up like Seung-Heon and I?' she couldn't help but worry. Worrying that they would become almost enemies. But soon she shook the thoughts off her mind.

Why should I worry?, It's not like we have a future together. He already has ladies flocking around him, moreover wasn't there a rumour that he finally accepted Yeo-Na. Waking up in her room and caught leaving the prime minister's house very early in the morning, they definitely did it.

She decided to take her mind off those thoughts but they seem to have been imprinted with a permanent ink in her mind.

When she saw a figure resting his back on the KJ270m, a limited edition brand vehicle of KimJin, her mood lightened immediately and her face lit up. She scurried away from Yo-han towards the figure that was standing there glancing at his watch.

It angered Yohan to see her like that, giving that smile to another man especially in front of him. He was a degree above 'Furious'.

As if that's not enough, as she ran towards the man, she saw a waste bin and without a second thought tossed the gift bag he handed to her in the waste bin.

Yo-han stepped on the brake immediately and though he wore his seatbelt, he almost hit his head with the steering wheel. 'Dan-bi how dare you do this twice, you didn't even check the gifts if they are to your likening or not, why did you just throw them away...stop testing my patience.... Ha , I know that I don't deserve your forgiveness but we could still remain indifferent like before we started dating."

Yo-han gritted his teeth as he watched the woman get into the car with Kim Do-Joon and their car sped off.

He became so HEARTBROKEN.

"I even failed to keep my woman...Hmm,...this is nemesis." He let out the words and sped unto the major road after letting out an huffy sigh.

He had only rode a few kilometers when his phone rang. He picked the Bluetooth receiver and plugged it in his ear before answering the call.

"Hello Mom"

Min Ju-Eun's happy voice sounded from the other end. "Yo-han, ..." she paused and her excitement died down gradually.

"Yo-han," this time concern took over her happiness. "What's going on?, you don't sound well. Are you sick?, Did you see a doctor? Stay at home and rest, I will be their tonight to take care of you okay?." She said affectionately.

Her tone made things more difficult for Yo-han. It should be Dan-bi who had such affection towards him. But no love can rival a mother's love for a child.

"Mom it's okay I am not sick, I have just being very busy lately that I get exhausted easily. You don't have to come over today. I will come over for dinner sometimes but as at now, I am really busy with office work." He replied, trying to make his voice sound normal.

"Hmm, are you sure you are okay?" She asked again not lacking concern in her tone.

"Yes mom I am fine don't worry too much. Umph, don't worry about me but about yourself. Take care of yourself."

"Okay, I will choose to believe you... but why are you working on Valentine's, should you not be out with your girlfriend?" The woman who knows nothing about the quarrel between the couple was about to lash out at Yo-Han but restrained herself. "I..., I guess work has been so tight...but try to find time to make it up to her okay, if you don't, I will personally deal with you." She joked and chuckled afterwards.

Her words and laughter brought a brief smile on Yo-Han's face. It was so quick that it vanished soon. Yo-han bit his lips with regret.

"Mom, Did Old Wang send gifts this year like always?" Yo-han stirred the topic in another direction.

His mother laughed briefly and said. "Yo-han, he did. Your father also sent a note saying he wished he could send gifts but it was inappropriate. Still he sent a black card saying he would carry all my expenses but I don't really need it since I have you to carry my expenses. But I will just keep it."

Yo-han grunted and felt displeased. "Why did you not stop referring to him as my father, I haven't acknowledged him and I won't. Also just return the black card to him you can have all you want, you don't lack anything so you don't need his help. "Yo-han said.

Min Ju-Eun replied to Yo-han with all seriousness. "Don't blame him Yo-han, he didn't do everything because he wanted to, everything happened because it was destined to be. Don't see him as a murderer either, he definitely didn't kill Mit-Eum, I don't want you to fight the wrong opponent. Also without him, I don't think you will really get to the bottom of this revenge of yours. It's not easy to fight those criminals without the Kim family's backing. You should accept him soon. Be a good boy and don't do anything you will end up regretting." She paused for a second and said again. "Give room for forgiveness. I will hang up now."

Beep. She ended the call.

Yo-han sighed helplessly. 'She wants me to forgive him, I think from his explanations and confirmation from PiA's sources, Jin Beom-Seok seems to be the real culprit. I am already regretting not resorting to forgiveness with Dan-Bi, I don't wish to regret anything again...*Sigh... but I need time to think it through.'

In the midst of his thoughts, he arrived at Min Corporation and consumed himself with another set of work. It was just too much.
