"have you tried talking to them?"

"hyun-a that will only happen when they give me the chance to,my brother girlfriend told me that the house is still in a deep tension,my father came back drunk again last night and made the problem worst when he kept asking about me,from mother"

"kim na-ra, sooner or later they will have to accept the fact that you are in love with my brother"

"Inlove?,and who told you that I am in love with Justin,it is just that we get each other a lot",

the look on hyun-a face made kim na-ra laugh

"stop looking at me that way",

kim na-ra picks up the soju and took a shot

"kim na-ra for the first time ever since we have known each other, you are blushing just because of a guy,well that's a first,also you are always worried about him, Justin this, Justin that all the time, if that isn't love na-ra then I don't know what is"

hyun-a says taking a gulp of soju

"anyway,let's forget about you and Justin , talking about my brother and best friend love life is making he weird,I need to get a boyfriend and quick I don't want you making me feel depressed"

" hyun-a don't play smart with me,I know you brought someone home two nights ago "

"it's the other way around,he brought me home",

"so you where drunk again,no surprise in that, tell me who is he,the guy who can make you frawn like this,he must be a hard nut to crack"

kim na-ra felt curious

"a hard nut to crack?,we both know him too well for that,it was sang ook"

"sang ook?"

"yes nara , sang-ook is back in korea"

hyun-a says waiting to get some reaction from Kim na-ra both got none ,kim na-ra takes a longer drink of the soju

"kim na-ra don't worry I will make him pay for what he did to you, leaving you just like that after being together for ten good years"

"hyun-a I have told you to forget all about it,it is now a very long time ago",

"kim na-ra you are just so nice",

"no,it's not that I am nice ,it's just because their betrayal doesn't hurt that bad,I know I never did behave like a real girlfriend,I have learnt to accept my fault"

smiling kim na-ra looks at hyun-a

"the only people who can hurt me and will hurt

you,that is Justin excluded, for I know what to accept from my family"

" what if it wasn't on purpose?"

why are you making it sound like we are in a sad movie

kim na-ra laugh with hyun-a following suit.

the click of the password to hyun-a place was heard

"and that must be the devil himself"

hyun-a says not to their surprise Justin walks in , kim na-ra felt giddy from just feeling his presence even when they stayed the whole night together, Justin making the matter worst walked straight to kim na-ra not giving a second glance to hyun-a , seeing him walk up to her kim na-ra dropped her leg down from the sofa sitting up right,Justin then took a seat beside her, leaning close to her ear ,

"I missed you"

unable to take this anymore hyun-a, faked a disgusted face

"I can't take this anymore,whyyyyyyyyy, Justin at least give consideration to those of us single"

picking up a can drink and passed it to Justin,who gladly took it, three of them sipping their drinks quietly,relaxed, looking at nothingness .

justin picked in-su up from the room he was sleeping, putting him into the backseat of the car,with Kim na-ra and hyun-a behind making small talks, Justin reminder made kim na-ra say goodbye to hyun-a then they drove off.

"are you not ready for the event we are to attend"

mr lee asks him wife who just sat down on the bed picking up fruits from the plate brought to her by a maid

"what if I am not ? ,is that what you thinking of,it's like you are not the least concerned that your son is being bewitched by that ,that single mother

"like father, like son,no wonder people say we look alike"

"what do you mean by that?, are you trying to imply that you married a single mother too?,is that it"

mrs lee says throwing the plate of fruits to the ground the sound of shattering glass echoing all around the house,the maids pretending like they heard nothing

mr lee says nothing,picks up his phone to inform the driver to get the car ready ,mr lee quickly stood up, pulling the phone from his hands , throwing it to the ground

"what are you doing ? ,this is unlike you"

mr lee says looking furious but mrs lee looked not bothered

"do you think I will just watch you ruin our son life,but what do I expect, right from the onset you paid no attention to neither of us,all you care about is work,how to put in a united front in front of the cameras,but at home you actually do nothing".

"when have I ever watched doing nothing?,I want the best for Justin too,"

"if you had wanted the best for Justin, you wouldn't have hide the fact that he is having an affair with that good for nothing single mother who is too old for him"

"how do you know"

"that you know? I found the pictures of both of them,in your cupboard you watch him,play with his future,but I won't,I am different from you,I will fight for my son"

"listen to what happened years ago must not happen again if not,I would not forgive you, don't forget you were once a widow with a child when I married you".

with that mr lee walks walk out, leaving mrs lee all to herself to rant out
