PREFACE

“Who would ever believe me that I happen to date a “nation husband” but it’s not that easy to build a relationship with a highly public figure like him, also I never thought that I am some kind of jealous girlfriend kinda type. I love him, he is the perfect man for me, the one that I imagine to be with, but it seems love is not the only thing I need to survive in this kind of relationship.” (Baek Ji-A)

“The first time I met her, her eyes already trapped me inside. The beautiful brown eyes. To be where I stand right now is...never easy...I have to protect my privacy so I can have a normal life outside my “sparkling” world. And this girl is the only one I want to be with in my normal, weird, and sparkling life. The bubbly character that she has, the prettiest smile that she shows me, the beautiful eyes that look at me assure me that I no need looking for another girl to stay with. I love her deeply with all my heart.” (Park Hui-Jun)

“Since she’s born in this world I have made up my mind that I will love this girl and protect her with all I have as a man, not as a brother. The feeling that I have kept for years no longer will stay hidden. She has to know that she has a man that is waiting for her, the man that knows her everything and loves her till the tiniest flaws of her. Waiting for her is enough now, I have to have her now.” (Cha Gyeong-Su)

A girl running fast with her hand busy tying her hair, a roast bread stuck on her mouth and she tries to digest her food while running. When she arrive at the emergency door room she stop and pause for a second, try to catch her breath, put the bread in a plastic bag and put that in her doctor gown then she press the open door sign and walk casually, while her eyes searching for particular person that will put her in hell today if she caught for being late again.

“Looking for something miss Ji-A?” a voice that she avoids so much comes from her back.

“I’m dead meat now” said the girl regretting the drink party she had last night with her friends.

“Yes you are, I will surely put this late on your performance chart. If you ever try to be late again tomorrow that means 2 times late for this week. And that means I can score you 1 in your monthly report attendance, then that means you can have a pay cut in your next month salary. Do you get me?” Na Sung-Ryung pointed her finger to the girl's face.

“Can my dad waive it?” said that girl in a very careful tone.

“YA!!! Baek Ji-A!!!! Even your name is Baek but your dad specially asks me to not give you any special treatment ever. And if I report this to your dad right now he will be very happy for waiving all your salary to zero this month!!” the head nurse threatened to creep the girl.

“I understand, I’m sorry I will behave starting today.” The girl express her sorry and bow quick before running to avoid more yelling from the nazi head nurse.

“Nazi catch you again?? Heol... you will not be able to live in peace today...” Kim Hyeon-U patted her head.

“Oh God.... why did you ask me for beer last night, beer night only applies when we have holiday the next day..” Ji-A mumbling while receiving a patient chart.

“It was you who asked for beer and soju last night..” Hyeon-U remembered how nagging she was asking for a beer buddy yesterday afternoon. The man that she dated for 6 months is going to London to pursue his business master and he said he will not be able to continue their relationship due to a long distance relationship. So Ji-A was practically dumped by her boyfriend, a term that she insisted denied by saying she is not being dumped. It's just that he had to make a choice and he chose his education first.

“Then why didn't you stop me...” Ji-A keeps chattering.

“Coz Siwon dumped you... we pitied you yesterday,,” Han Mi-Yeon showed up suddenly and took the chart in her hand.

“This is my patient, I need to move him for an inpatient process..” said Mi-Yeon.

“YA!!!!!” Ji-A screams after hearing Mi-Yeon say that to her. Then she glares at Hyeon-U, while Hyeon-U is leaving her with both of his hands in front of his chest.

“I’m not saying anything.......” he whispered to her while giggling.

“I must betray a king in my previous life so I end up with pathetic friends like them in this life” said Ji-A to herself.

 “At 1PM we have a CF concept meeting with the director, we will meet at La Pomme in Apgujeong. Then at 7PM you have to attend a dinner meeting with director Choi and Writer Kang at Philkyungjae in Gangnam for your next movie project.” Goh Beom-Sok read the list of today's schedule that he already memorized.

“So the meeting will probably take about 2 hours. Then I will have free time from 3 to 7 right? I want to take a nap...” Park Hui-Jun talked with his eyes still closed.

“After the meeting in Apgujeong we need to go to the agency, the CEO wants to meet you for Chinese expansion project and some issues related to your news lately and also discussed your upcoming fan meetings schedule...that’s why we set the dinner meeting location near to our agency.” Beom-Seok told everything that he already memorized again.

“Aiisshh.... I need few hours for sleep. Can’t he wait until tomorrow? For this meeting? The CEO??” Park Hui-Jun open his eyes and talking in annoying tone.

“You will be leaving for Bangkok tomorrow for your upcoming fan meeting. The plane schedule is the first flight and the airport will be packed too so you need to be there early.” Beom-Seok reminds him.

“The fan meeting is still 3 days away, why should I fly tomorrow?” ask Hui-Jun.

“You will have some plans with the CEO of the Thai agency that sponsored this fan meeting, also some photoshoot and interview with local television and tabloid. Also the Prime Minister scheduled to meet you also coz he was a fan of you too since the drama aired. We will stay in a very nice resort, you can enjoy the nice view and do swimming while you are there. Consider this as a vacation too..” said Beom-Seok.

“Any new articles about me lately?” ask Park Hui-Jun.

“Nothing bad.... but there was a picture of you and a girl dating in a cafe and the photo was taken like 8 years ago.” Beom-Seok told Hui-Jun about the hot news lately.

“Really?! What picture?” Hui-Jun asks for the tablet that is held by Beom-Seok and searches for his news.

He can shortlist the girls that might appear in the picture but how come they ever find that. A wild thought kept popping in his head. There he found the news, the picture has his face holding a girl that got blurred in her face. Hui-Jun felt upset, it was Song So-Ra, the girl he dated while he was in college.

“How come they ever find this..” said Hui-Jun. His face looks so sorry, he looks out the window and is lost in his thoughts “Has the agency taken care of this?” Hui-Jun asked.

“Don’t worry the CEO took care of everything already, Ah .... the rumors about you and Min-Soon noona really dating are going more wild these days” Beom-Seok laughed while reading some forum comments.

“Heh.... should I really date her to create a scandal?” Hui-Jun smiles remembering the beautiful Min-Soon noona, his pair in the drama. No one deny the beauty of the South Korean goddess, and it was his honor to be her pair in that drama.

“Haha...maybe you should..” Beom-Seok and the driver are laughing.

“We already arrived at the place, but we arrived 30 minutes early. Do you want to wait here or inside?” Beom-Seok asked.

“If I wait inside, will it be safe? I mean there will be no crowd especially looking for me? ..” ask Hui-Jun.

“Nothing... It's a very nice place. You haven’t had your lunch too right? They said the food is good... I’m starving too..” Beom-Seok opens his door then goes out first.

They have burgers for their lunch, then the CF director and his team come join them, the shoot will begin after he comes back from his fan meeting schedule in Thailand. The meeting went very well and they enjoyed their food too. The moment Hui-Jun and Beom-Seok are about to leave the cafe, some fans approach them and ask for his signature and picture. Hui-Jun tries to serve his fans very well, but the crowd causes some people to push here and there. A girl beside Hui-Jun is about to fall and Hui-Jun quickly grabs her but then a second later he feels his skin sting very bad. His hand is bleeding due to the sharp edge of the table, the wound left a cut that looks deep. Blood starts running, and people are shocked. Beom-Seok and the CF team rushly break the crowd and take Hui-Jun to the car.

“Can you bear it?” Beom-Seok looks terrified looking at the blood that infiltrates the white towel that is tied in Hui-Jun's hand to stop the bleeding.

“Is the hospital still far away?” Hui-Jun asked the driver.

“In 5 minutes hyung..” the driver runs the car very fast.

They arrive at Baek Hospital emergency door. Beom-Seok dragged the wheel chair in a rush then took Hui-Jun at lightning speed into the room.

“Can someone help us!!!!” Beom-Seok shouting for help.

“What happened?” Ji-A runs approaching Beom-Seok and Hui-Jun.

“He got a wound cut in his hand and it keeps bleeding..” Beom-Seok explained in panic.

Ji-A looks at the wounded hand, and takes a glance at the patient, “hemm I think I saw him somewhere” Ji-A thinks when he looks at Hui-Jun.

“Nurse Min... can you help me move the patient?!” Ji-A calls for her nurse to help.

Ji-A, nurse Min and Beom-Seok move Hui-Jun to the bed and start her treatment.

“The wound needs to be stitched so it can heal properly, are you okay with it?” Ji-A asks Hui-Jun after examining the wound.

“Is it serious?” Beom-Seok sounds very worried.

“No..there’s no major wound to the nerve in his hand. But I need to stitch it to close the wound and it will be good as before.” Ji-A is smiling, and Hui-Jun kinda likes her eyes when she smiles like that.

But there’s another thing that catches Ji-A attention. Few nurses start to gather in front of Hui-Jun bed, all of them holding their phones right in front of them ready to capture. Also some patients are making a hard effort to get up from their bed and lengthen their neck just to peep into him. Ji-A looks at him, and she can feel that he is very uncomfortable.

“Do you know everyone here?” ask Ji-A to Hui-Jun.

Hui-Jun looked at Ji-A with a shocked expression, “You don’t know me?” Hui-Jun asks in a very low and careful tone.

Ji-A thinks and sees the crowd that happens in front of the patient bed. Suddenly she saw Mi-Yeon jumping at the back of the crowd showing the tablet and kept pointing to an image in that tablet. Ji-A look at the image and then she surprise,

“AH..RIGHT!!!!” Ji-A now can identify her patient. She looks at the nurses that gather in front of her patient, she puts her hand on her waist and blows her pony hair.

“I just need nurse Min, what are all of you doing here??? Don’t you all have other work to do??? Should I call nurse Sung????!!!!” Ji-A scolds them.

In another second the nurses ran back to their post. Ji-A think of something.

“I think you will not be safe here. Everyone seems to be very excited seeing you here. The wound will be just fine but I’m afraid you will create another one if you stay in this room. Lets move!” said Ji-A, and somehow Hui-Jun wished she would show her smile again.

∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞

Ji-A then moves Hui-Jun to a VVIP room, and treats his wound there. Now only two of them are in the room, Beom-Seok is doing the administration process while nurse Min goes to the pharmacy to collect medicine for Hui-Jun.

“Does it sting?” Ji-A asks while stitching the wound.

“A little...” said Hui-Jun, “Do you know me already?” ask Hui-Jun.

Ji-A smiles and nods her head.

“Joon daewi...” answered Ji-A and stopped her work for a while to look at Hui-Jun, smiling. And Hui-Jun loves her smile.

“Are you going to die? In the last episode?? Or will someone die???”Ji-A looking at Hui-Jun with her eyes shows curiosity and it’s interesting for Hui-Jun.

“The drama has already ended...did you not watch it??” Hui-Jun felt a little disappointed.

“It’s not that I did not watch it, but I haven’t finished it.... I just finished watching episode 8, and don’t tell me anything about the ending. I am having a hard time watching your drama due to my job... “ Ji-A look at Hui-Jun. Hui-Jun finds Ji-A very attractive in his eyes. He laughed hearing her answer. All this time he thought he was the only one who didn’t have time to enjoy a private moment but it seemed the pretty doctor in front of him was also having a hard time only to spend time watching his drama.

“I see you everywhere, store banners, television CF, magazine stall... that’s why I thought I had seen you somewhere before when we met at the ER..” Ji-A giggle.

“So you don’t need my picture then..” Hui-Jun smiled.

“I think I already have one, your face in the sportswear catalogue. I bought a new jacket last week..” said Ji-A with her eyes fixed on stitching the wound.

“Want me to sign the jacket??” joke Hui-Jun.

“Of course not.... It’s white so it will be hard to remove the stain from your pen..” Ji-A glares at him.

Hui-Jun laughed when he heard the answer. This doctor is really peculiar, he thinks.

“Make sure you watch my drama till the end..” said Hui-Jun.

“Understand Joon daewi..” Ji-A smiles, and Hui-Jun likes to see her smile again.

Hui-Jun looks at Ji-A, he feels curious about this doctor. Then he catches something in her doctor coat pocket.

“Is that bread?” Hui-Jun looked at the pocket more closely.

Ji-A looks at her pocket....

“AH!!! You found it!!!! Assaaaa!!” Ji-A looked so happy.

“I’m searching for this before you come, I missed my breakfast and haven’t had my lunch too. Thank you!!” Ji-A smile.

Hui-Jun laughs seeing Ji-A's reaction.

Thanks to his wound, Hui-Jun did not have to meet his CEO but he got a 2 hours sleep at Baek Hospital as Ji-A recommended. When he left the hospital to meet his other schedule he did not meet with Ji-A again. He tried to look around while exiting the hospital building but he couldn’t find her.

∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞

“Is that the actor?” Baek Ji-Yeon looked at a man with a baseball hat, face mask covering his lower face and bandage in his hand walking exiting the hospital lobby.

“Yes madam director..” answer her secretary.

Ji-Yeon smiled, “Ji-A must have been dreaming of meeting a dragon last night so she is able to treat his wound today..” today all the girls in her office went crazy with the news that the famous Park Hui-Jun is in their hospital and has been taken care of by Ji-A for his wound. And Ji-A kicks all the nurses that fangirlings into him at the emergency room. Not to mention the PR team and Security department busy with sudden visitation from several entertainment reporters and paparazzi asking about the actor's condition.

“CEO Ryeo-Uk called while you were in a meeting, he said he will be late tonight. He has a dinner meeting with the Japanese representatives.” Said Ji Myung-Soo.

“Have you called the nanny?? Seo-Jun and Seo-Eun okay?” Ji-Yeon keeps walking while reading some emails on her tablet.

“They are having their dinner right now madam director.” Said Myung-Soo.

“Okay.... is my car ready?” ask Ji-Yeon.

“Yes madam director, your car is already waiting for you at the lobby.” Said Myung-Soo.

∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞

Ji-A peek into Baek Jae-Hwan's office, but then suddenly someone hits her head.

“OUCH!!” she turned her head and found her brother standing behind him.

“What are you doing?” asked the genius and most handsome Baek as he entered his room. Ji-A followed him behind while pulling his doctor coat.

“What??” Jae-Hwan keeps walking, dragging his little sister behind.

“Oppa..I’m hungry, order me some food...” Ji-A persuades her brother.

“Go to the cafeteria, you have free food there..” said Jae-Hwan, putting his book down and unlocking his computer.

“I don’t like the menu, I skipped breakfast today because I was late... and I skipped lunch too because of a seizing boy....and my bread was too hard to chew because I kept it since morning from home.... “ Ji-A shows a very cute face to her brother.

“Why don’t you ask noona?” ask Jae-Hwan although he knows that rather than asking for Ji-Yeon help Ji-A will go to him. Since Ji-A considers Ji-Yeon as her rival and Ji-Yeon always beats her in everything.

“Eonnie already left when I looked for her.... appa said let’s eat at home now coz he was about to go back home when I asked him.” Explain Ji-A.

“Then you eat at home... your shift is over already..” Jae-Hwan played hard to get to his little sister.

“Oppa.... I really don’t want to eat at home today. Appa showed me omma’s text, she said she is cooking dinner tonight because today she learned a new recipe..” Ji-A seems very desperate.

Jae-Hwan looks at her and laughs. He took out his wallet and handed the same cash to Ji-A.

“I already have dinner. I cannot accompany you to order the food since I have surgery in 1 hour, I need to prepare myself. Go home and buy food on your way home.” Said Jae-Hwan.

“Thank you Oppa...” Ji-A kisses her brother and runs with the money she had from Jae-Hwan.

“Don’t stay out late!!!! Be home soon!!!” Jae-Hwan shouted.

∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞

Ji-A, Hyeon-U and Mi-Yeon are now having their dinner at a restaurant in front of their hospital. The food is good, the ambiance is very nice too. This place is always packed with visitors, Hyeon-U said all the men coming here not only for food but also for the owner. She is indeed very beautiful.

“So what do you want today doctors??” ask Min Han-Nui, the restaurant owner.

“waahh I really hit the jackpot today... I got to treat a famous person and now the owner served me personally...” Ji-A smiles at Ha-Nui.

“You must have dreamt of a dragon last night then..” said Ha-Nui while laughing. She always loves these 3 young doctors.

“No Eonnie... she dreamed of being dumped last night...” cut Mi-Yeon and drank her tea.

“YA!!!” Ji-A glance at her mad.

“Hahahahaha.... it’s true right... crying and kept asking how many miles from Seoul to London....how many hours to fly....the time difference.... you are awful when you’re dumped” Said Mi-Yeon.

“Eonnie do you have tapes??? I need to shut her mouth..” said Ji-A.

“I will serve 3 of you nice food so she can stop dumping you then...” Ha-Nui laughs, “Oh my mistake...so she stops talking..” Ha-Nui laughs hard followed by Hyeon-U and Mi-Yeon while Ji-A pouts her lips.

“So is he very handsome in closer range?” Mi-Yeon asked with full curiosity about the famous Park Hui-Jun.

“He has very smooth skin..not like him...” Ji-A pointing her spoon to Hyeon-U who is busy chewing his bulgogi.

“I am busy saving people’s lives...while he is busy pleasing people... so I don’t need high end skincare treatment...my lotion is enough for me...” Hyeo-U defended himself.

“Yes, it's true... no wonder he still doesn't have a girlfriend until now...” said Mi-Yeon.

“The last time was Jung-Ah right??? The dentist..” said Ji-A.

“Jung-Ah rejected him... the last one is Eun-Mi.... our highschool friend, the cheerleader.” Said Mi-Yeon while chewing her carbonara pasta.

“Isshh ... Hyeon-U ah that’s ages already. Can’t you get a girl now??? You lost your mojo??? Do we have to help you???” ask Ji-A while taking a full spoon of bibimbap and put it in her mouth.

“Getting help from the losers like you....equal to welcoming my single life forever. Everyone is never good for me in your eyes. The pediatric nurse who is very cute, you said she is childish.” Hyeon-U pointing his spoon to Mi-Yeon

“The stewardess that I introduced to you was very high maintenance you said..” Now the spoon has moved to Ji-A.

“I will have a nice dream at night if I see Ji-Yeon noona at the hospital...that’s enough for me. I will look for someone like her.” Hyeon-U talks proudly to himself.

“Crazy..... looking for someone like Ji-Yeon eonnie then you have to be as rich as my hyeongbu....” Ji-A shook her head. She knows how Hyeon-U adores Ji-Yeon very much.

“With the bread store owned by your family... I think you will be rich like him in another life..” add Mi-Yeon.

“I don’t know why I keep hanging with witches like both of you...” Hyeon-U pity himself.

“Did you get his signature??” ask Mi-Yeon.

Ji-A shakes her head.

“Did you take a picture together?” ask Mi-Yeon again.

Ji-A shakes her head again.

“So what did you get?” ask Hyeon-U.

“The money he paid for my treatment..” Ji-A smile.

“Stupid..” Hyeon-A and Mi-Yeon said together.

Hyeon-U took the girls home, Ji-A was the last since her house is close to his. And her mother always orders bread from his parent shop. Hyeon-U's parents run a bread shop in this neighborhood and the shop is quite famous since it has been running for 3 generations. His brother will be the successor of the store. He is never interested in baking, he always runs away to Ji-A house if his parents ask him to look for the store. He has always wanted to be a doctor since he saw Ji-A dad save an old man at the train station. It was a very cool moment for him ever since. Then he told his parents that he wanted to be a doctor. Mi-Yeon entered medical school because the senior that she crushed on was studying in the medical school, even until now she never dated him. While Ji-A, even the doctor's blood runs in her veins, she chooses medical school not because she is good in her grades but because the two of her best friends were applying for medical school. So if she chooses another field she will be left with no friends.

Ji-A walks into her house and bumps into her dad who just got out of his room.

“Where were you? I thought you were hungry..” ask Baek Jae-Dok.

“I was having dinner with Hyeon-U and Mi-Yeon near the hospital.” Ji-A answers her dad.

“Is it good?” ask Ji-A in a very low voice.

“What?” Jae-Dok didn’t understand his daughter's question.

“The food that mom cooked for dinner..I saw mom text at the hospital” Ji-A whispered while looking around her, afraid her mom suddenly showed up and caught her conversation.

Jae-Dok laughs when he hears his daughter's question, none of his children are fans of his wife cooking.

“It was good..” Jae-Dok smiled and patted his daughter's head.

Ji-A looked at her dad with an unbelievable look...

“Liar.... I will report to grandma that you lied a lot to me...” Ji-A shakes her head and walks through the stairs to reach her room.

Baek Jae-Dok only laughs hearing his daughter mumbling.

“Don’t be late again tomorrow!! Or I will cut all of your salary this month!!” Jae-Dok shouts to his lovely maknae.

Ji-A turned her head and shouted in a very frustrated tone.

“Appa!!!!”

∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞

While at the Nam residence, Ji-Yeon just puts the twins to bed after reading them bedtime stories, the routinity she always does every night for her boys. She goes to the kitchen and meets with her mother in law who is preparing some snacks for her husband.

“Is Ryeo-Uk still out?” ask Hong Ye-Jin.

“Yes Oemmoni, he said he will be late. Maybe he has some drinks with them.” Ji-Yeon understands the things that are handled by her husband tonight.

“Have you eaten? I don’t see you eat when you come from work. You just went directly to the twins room.” Said Ye-Jin.

“I already grabbed some snacks at the car, I will eat with oppa if he wants some food later tonight.” Said Ji-Yeon.

Ye-Jin smiled, she liked her daughter in law from the moment she met her.

“Okay....then I will be in my room. Your dad wants some snacks...” Ye-Jin leaves Ji-Yeon.

While walking to her room Ji-Yeon hears someone in the living room. She rushes to see whether it’s her husband. It turns out the maknae of this family who’s at the door, Nam Dong-Hyeok.

“Wow hyeongsu-nim.... I feel I just won a lottery having you welcoming me home..” Dong-Hyeok smiled so big seeing his pretty sister inlaw.

“I thought my prince was coming... it turns out the frog who's at the door.” Ji-Yeon turns back and walks to her room.

Dong-Hyeok put his hand at his waist, he never believed that his charm would ever work on his sister inlaw.

“Is marrying my brother making her become sarcastic like him too..... Heol marriage can transmit bad attitudes also...” Dong-Hyeok talks to himself.

Later at night Nam Ryeo-Uk arrived at his home. Ji-Yeon was reading a magazine in her bed when her husband entered the room. He looked drunk, because he drank a lot with the Japanese guests tonight. Ji-Yeon rushes to her husband, takes his coat and walks him to the bed.

“You haven’t slept?” ask Ryeo-Uk, trying so hard to handle the dizziness in his head.

“I am waiting for you...have you eaten?” Ji-Yeon asks him while loosening his tie then pulls his shoes and socks.

“I don’t want to eat. I just need sleep...” Ryeo-Uk closed his eyes.

“Do you want me to change your clothes?” Ask Ji-Yeon but Ryeo-Uk was too tired to answer that.

Ji-Yeon carefully changes her husband's clothes, she tries her best to be a good wife for Ryeo-Uk. She met Ryeo-Uk through a blind date that was set by her aunty. A week later after the meeting, Ryeo-Uk came to her house and introduced himself to her family. It was her mother in law who insisted that Ryeo-Uk must marry her. The next thing she knew, her mother asked her whether she would accept the marriage proposal from the Nam family. Ryeo-Uk parents and the elders from Nam family came officially to meet her parents and propose for Ji-Yeon to marry Ryeo-Uk.

“I don’t want to push you into this decision, since once you marry it is a one time promise. There’s no way you can betray your vow, since when the marriage is held, God also gives the blessing to both of you. Me and your dad never want a particular type of husband for you, he doesn’t have to be rich...from a wealthy family....has an amazing job....but what we want is you and him to live happily and full of love like me and your dad. He seems like a good man, he comes from a very nice family too. But I only hear it from people I never knew about them very closely before. So think about this carefully.”

But her aunt tell her the opposite,

“Just marry him, where else can you find a decent man like him. Nam Ryeo-Uk, a billionaire in his youth, handsome, a very kind man, never created a scandal. He was telling his mom that you are very pretty and  a wife material for him also his mom love you so much. So follow my suggestion, I will not throw you into some bad life decisions..”

And Ji-Yeon really took a deep thought about what her mother said to her. And a few days later she accepted the proposal. Then a big wedding was held a month after that. She knew that she and Ryeo-Uk never started this marriage with love or fling between them. But as the time goes by, and the twins come into their life, she feels her life complete and works even harder to love Ryeo-Uk. Ryeo-Uk is a very good husband too for her, and the best dad for the twins. He sometimes comes home with flowers in his hand for her. Or preparing some surprise trip for two of them. Ji-Yeon is happy with her life right now.

Ryeo-Uk opens his eyes when Ji-Yeon leaves him to put the dirty laundry, he feels so sad for Ji-Yeon's kindness to him. It is worse already to hide the guilty feeling inside of him from Ji-Yeon. He can only pray that Ji-Yeon never found his secret.

Park Hui-Jun is packing for his trip to Thailand tomorrow, he heard someone pressing the code lock of his apartment door then he heard someone coming inside. He is wondering who is coming late at night like this. No way if that is his mom, and Beom-Seok is already home since he left the dinner venue.

“Packing for tomorrow?” Min Gi-Gwang, his best friend, shows up, carrying a plastic container containing beer cans and chicken.

“You’re not even asking me whether I was okay or not today...” Hui-Jun showed him his wounded hand.

Gi-Gwang smiled and took out the beer cans and chicken.

“I saw the news on the internet...you already have tons of women worrying about your hand. Why should I jump into the crowd...” Gi-Gwang laughed while opening his beer.

“How many days will you be there?” ask Gi-Gwang.

“Maybe 3..” Hui-Jun passed his beer to Gi-Gwan to open it.

“Isshh... Beom-Seok already bragged since yesterday that he is going to Thailand for vacation..” Gi-Gwang remembered how Beom-Seok kept sending him the resort picture where he and Hui-Jun will stay during Hui-Jun's visit to Bangkok.

“Should we go together again?” Hui-Jun reminds him of their vacation to Bali 3 years ago. Hui-Jun, Gi-Gwang and Beom-Seok went to Bali for vacation before Hui-Jun enlistment date. Even though they are the same age, they didn’t serve the military together. They take turns. Beom-Seok's older sister is having a chronic disease so when Beom-Seok entered the military earlier, he went after he finished high school, both Hui-Jun and Gi-Gwang took care of her sister. Even Gi-Gwang took Beom-Seok’s sister to stay with him during Beom-Seok leave, as both of them are orphans. Beom-Seok's parents already died when they were young, Beom-Seo- and his sister were raised by their grandmother, but after their grandmother passed away they started living independently, just the two of them. While Gi-Gwang's parents died because of a car accident. They passed away 6 years ago, Gi-Gwang also has an older sister but they live separately and didn’t have a very close relationship like Beom-Seok and his sister. Hui-Jun is the luckiest between them, his parents still alive and healthy, he is the only son and now has become a Hallyu star. Beom-Seok worked with Hui-Jun as his managers since the beginning of Hui-Jun's celebrity career and Hui-Jun never wanted someone else rather than Beom-Seok to take care of his work.

“When I finish this mall project, I will have lots of bonus and can take a day off too...” said Gi-Gwang.

“Then it will never happen this year...” replied Hui-Jun.

“Why?” said Gi-Gwang.

“Starting this month my schedule is already packed with fan meetings. I will be travelling to Bangkok, Hongkong, China... Then back to Korea I will start filming the movie in Boryeong. I will be there for months. Maybe I will go back to Ilsan sometimes to visit my parents or go to Seoul for some work. But travelling with you guys is impossible for me this year...” Hui-Jun talking while sipping his beer.

“Every girl in my office is always talking about you and Min-Soon noona. They sure you both have a real deal... No one knows that I am your friend so I can listen to it in every version they have...is it true??? Are you hiding something from me? Coz the rumors and the forums jeezz.... I can’t believe that a girl's imagination can be so wild like that. Not to mention many fanfics people create for your character and Min-Soon noona, I feel like I was reading a X-Rated novel.... women can be very dangerous too with their imagination..” Gi-Gwan shakes his head remembering all the stuff he was going through listening to all the rumors spread in his office about his best friend.

“If I were dating Min-Soon noona, tonight with a hand like this and tomorrow I will be leaving Seoul, I will be cuddling with her, not sitting here and drinking beers with you..” said Hui-Jun.

Gi-Gwang looks at his best friend....then raises his beer, “You right brother...” Gi-Gwang said.

“Besides, I don’t want to date any celebrity.... It's tiring enough with my exposure, I don’t want to add another one celebrity in my personal life.” Hui-Jun looked into his beer can thinking about the picture he saw today on the internet.

“Why? Do you want So-Ra back??? Forget her...she’s married already...” Said Gi-Gwang.

“Really?? With whom?? How do you know?” Hui-Jun speechless.

“When I saw the picture on the internet, even though they blurred the face I was sure that it was So-Ra. It was taken when you treated us with your first paycheck right? Then I tried to contact some friends, but it turned out someone was still having contact with her. And she told me that So-Ra is married now, to someone chosen by her family.” Gi-Gwang reports his investigation.

“At least she has a happy life now..” said Hui-Jun then he lost in his thoughts.

Gi-Gwang fell asleep on the couch, Hui-Jun finished packing and went to sleep. He looked into his wound and the doctor's face came to his mind.

“Baek Ji-A....” he read the doctor's name in his medicine paper bag.

∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞

“How many days will you stay in Thailand?” Goh So-Mi helps her brother pack.

“3 days, are you really okay noona? I can ask Gi-Gwang to accompany you here?” Beom-Seok always worries when he has to leave his sister away for days.

“I’m okay... besides the landlord will always check on me if I need anything.” So-Mi comforted her brother.

They only have each other since little. Their parents passed away when they were little. After that they lived with grandmother, but grandmother passed away too. Ever since teens they already live independently.  With money left by their parents and grandmother they can survive even if it is a very simple life. Also with her heart condition they really need money for her health survival too. Fortunately Beom-Seo was asked by Hui-Jun to be his manager, and now things are getting better for them, though they need to save most of the money to pay her health insurance.

“Noona don’t forget to go for a routine check up! I already asked Gi-Gwang to take you..” Beom-Seok reminds his sister.

“I can go by myself, Gi-Gwang is busy enough with his job. Can’t you trust me? I can handle it..” So-Mi assured her brother.

Beom-Seok looks at his sister, worried as he describes in his eyes. His fragile pretty sister, 7 days of her week spent at this small apartment. Her sister insisted on moving to this place since it’s on the rooftop and has a small place for her to plant her favourite flowers. The landlord is a very nice lady too, knowing that So-Mi has a weak heart condition, she often voluntarily checks on her when Beom-Seok is away for days.

“Be careful when you step on the stairs okay?? Just stop whenever you feel tired. If you are really tired just call Gi-Gwang to piggyback you to the room.” Said Beom-Seok.

So-Mi was annoyed by what her brother just said. She looks at him angry...

“I will live ... healthy .... until you come back and until my next birthday too.... okay?” She pinch her brother's cheek hard.

∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞

Back at Hui-Jun's apartment, he still cannot sleep. After taking his medicine, he took a script and read it to help him sleep. But then his thought played into the conversation between him and the pretty doctor he met that afternoon.

“How do you feel?” Ji-A asked while finishing the stitches.

“I don’t feel anything...the dope works very well..” said Hui-Jun.

Ji-A raised her head and throw a small laugh,

“Not this...how do you feel to become the center of attention? Your paparazzi are already waiting for you outside...” Ji-A asked again.

Hui-Jun froze for a moment, and he answered, “How would you feel if you were me?”

Ji-A paused, then looked at him. Hui-Jun feels a little nervous when those eyes look very close to him.

“I don’t want attention, especially like that... my mom and sister “attention” is already enough for me...” Ji-A told him in a very serious face.

Seconds later both of them were laughing.

“Is it hard?” Now Hui-Jun asks the question.

“What? Stitching this?” Ji-A finishes the stitches and cuts the cannula.

“Being a doctor?” said Hui-Jun.

Ji-A looks at him and smiles, “I sacrificed my youth and my bed times to achieve this surgeon dress..” she jokes.

“Do you always watch my dramas? Or who is your favourite actor?” Hui-Jun cannot hide the curiosity whether this pretty doctor follows his career.

Ji-A look at him hesitating, and Hui-Jun surprise to see that,

“Never?” he asked.

“Only the last one...that's because everyone says it’s so damn good,” Ji-A confessed.

“And who is your favourite actor? Before you know me..” ask Hui-Jun again.

Ji-A smiles awkwardly, “I don’t have one that I most adore. It changes every time the drama ends.” she whispers.

Hui-Jun looks at her and cannot believe just what she heard, the pretty doctor never watched his other dramas before or even knew about him at all.

“Well I didn't know her before she treated me today...” Hui-Jun comforts himself while looking at the medicine.

∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞

As usual, on the second Saturday every month, all Baek family members gather together and do their activity in Baek Jae-Dok free clinic. Ji-A busy examining the children, Jae-Hwan is busy examining the older patients while his dad chats with some grandparents that come to his clinic. Ji-Yeon is busy with her administration job, while their mother Lee Mi-Na is busy with her grandchildren, Seo-Jun and Seo-Eun, distributing snacks and drinks to everyone in the clinic. After all the work is done, they sit together enjoying a fancy meal that Ji-Yeon brought from her house.

“Eomma, are you still insisting on making this Galbi? It is so salty I told you before to reduce the salt..” Ji-A whining about the Galbi that her mom force to eat.

“It will not be that salty when you eat it with rice..” her mom persuaded her.

“I don’t want rice... I’m on a diet. I won't eat rice for now..” said Ji-A.

“Diet??? For what??” Ji-Yeon is surprised to hear that, nothing in her sister's body that needs to be lost weight.

“Miss Ji-A bought jeans last week, but it turns out the size was smaller than she usually wears. And she did not want to refund it so she insisted on dieting in order to be able to wear it.” Kang Ki-Seon, the maid of the Baek family, answered the question.

“Thank you ahjumma..” Ji-A smile proudly.

Ji-Yeon shakes her head while listening to that.

“She was sleeping again in my office yesterday” Jae-Hwan snitched on Ji-A behavior.

“That was my free time... Oppa I told you already...” Ji-A defends herself.

“She was avoiding you..” Jae-Hwan looks at Jae-Dok.

Jae-Dok stares at his daughter, he remembers that Ji-A never showed up in his office though he told nurse Sung to call her.

“Appa... I was too tired yesterday.That day, I have been having surgery since morning. I was planning to see you after taking a little nap..” Ji-A bowed down her head so she could avoid her father's eye.

“But it turns out she slept the whole afternoon....” Jae-Hwan laughed, adding oil to his fire.

“Oppa.. I really hate you right now...” Ji-A throws a very mad look to her brother.

Suddenly someone come,

“It seems I am late for the Baek’s party..” Cha Gyeong-Su greeted them with flowers in his hand.

“This one for you Eommoni...” Gyeong-Su handed the flower to Mi-Na.

“You are my favourite son ever....even Jae-Hwan and Ryeo-Uk or even my husband never give me flowers...” Mi-Na accepts the flower and hugs Gyeong-Su.

“I give you flowers every month.... bank interest... no man as thoughtful as I am for you..” Jae-Dok answered his wife. His sentences cause everyone to laugh.

“You bailed on last night's duel..” Jae-Hwan greeted his best friend.

“I have a presentation to make last night....it was over hours after the duel..” explained Gyeong-Su and he took a chair then sat beside Ji-A.

“What are you eating?” Gyeong-Su looks at Ji-A plate weirdly, she only has salad and a small piece of galbi.

“She’s on a diet to look pretty in jeans..” Ji-Yeon replies to Gyeong-Su question.

“Don’t worry even a fat and lazy chaebol like you will have a man marry you via marriage arrangement.... Aunt Mi-Seok will be happy to set a blind date for you...” Ji-Yeon teases Ji-A.

“Chaebol my ***....I am never a chaebol...” Said Ji-A.

“Ji-A watch your language...” Mi-Na scolds her daughter.

“But it’s true.... I am not a chaebol... the heir of the hospital is Jae-Hwan oppa.....the house will be given to Ji-Yeon unnie... me??” Ji-A chattering.

“You will have my car....” Jae-Dok said to his daughter.

“And my silverware..and my jewellery...” Mi-Na added while smiling. They always tease Ji-A like this.

“I can give you my watch..” Jae-Hwan smiles at Ji-A.

While Ji-A looks at each of them feeling betrayed on what she heard.

“I don’t need the house, my husband can give me a nice house..” said Ji-Yeon.

“Then can I have the house?” Ji-A looks happy.

“Of course not... the house will be given to Jae-Hwan... he must provide a house for his wife when he’s married..” said Ji-Yeon. Jae-Hwan nods, and high five with his sister.

“Unbelievable...” Ji-A chew her salad.

“That's true..” said Jae-Hwan.

“Oppa... will you make me a house? Appa already gave me a car... I need a house..” Ji-A looks at Gyeong-Su.

“No... I’m tired of making houses for other people. I want to have a wife that creates a house for me...” Gyeong-Su pinch her cheek.

“Aish...I am surely betray a king in my previous life to have a thoughtless family like this...iissshhh” said Ji-A.

“Don’t worry... I will give you my watch too....” Jae-Dok laughing.

“I heard that Si-Won dumped you?” Ji-Yeon asks Ji-A.

“He is NOT!!!! He just has to make a choice... and he chooses school...” said Ji-A. She will surely kill Hyeon-U tomorrow for leaking this news to Ji-Yeon.

“He chose school...over you...yeah that’s right..” said Ji-Yeon again.

“Does your heart hurt?? Need me to beat him??” Jae-Hwan teases his sister.

While Gyeong-Su smiles and looks happy listen to the news.

“Appa will you accept Ben Affleck as your son in law?” Ji-A asks her father, and shows him the picture from her phone.

“Who is that? I only accept Korean men.” Said Jae-Dok.

“Then you will be okay with one of them?” Ji-A showed him another picture.

“Who are they?” Mi-Na looks at the picture.

“2PM, she went crazy in their concert last month,” answered Ji-Yeon, who knows exactly how her sister behaves in front of her favourite idol.

“Or with one of them...” Ji-A again showed her dad and mom another idol group.

“Now who the hell are they??” said Jae-Dok.

“EXO... she played their song loudly at the operation room last week while she’s doing tumor removal surgery on a patient's brain...” answered Ji-Yeon.

Ji-A only smiles at her dad.

“But she was doing the surgery with me..” Jae-Dok remembers that surgery.

“She played it after you left the operation room and told her to close the patient.” Add Ji-Yeon.

“You are unbelievably crazy..” Jae-Hwan looks at Ji-A. While Ji-A shows her prettiest smile to her father and does the love sign with her finger.

“I already have a headache from having a daughter like you, I’d like a normal man to be your husband. Can you just marry Gyeong-Su??” said Jae-Dok.

Gyeong-Su felt so happy listening to what Jae-Dok said just then.

“Appa... that’s too much. Gyeong-Su is too good for her....” Ji-Yeon smiled.

“Trust me Gyeong-Su...she is crazy.. don’t ever fall in love with her...” Ji-Yeon teases Gyeong-Su. She knows exactly that Gyeong-Su only looks to Ji-A since Gyeong-Su met her in this world.

“Just call aunt Mi-Seok....ask her to set a blind date for you..” Jae-Hwan looks at Ji-A.

“Nope... I will go and search TOP and make him my husband..” said Ji-A.

“Crazy girl..” Mi-Na always surprises her youngest daughter.

∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞

The three musketeers are now having their break at the emergency stairs. They are having Jjajangmyeon and dumplings for their very late afternoon snack. Hyeon-U uses her time reading a medical journal, Ji-A uses it to watch the next episode of the drama that is played by Park Hui-Jun, the actor she treated last week. While Mi-Yeon uses it to have a nap since she is very tired after a night shift and a major surgery this morning which makes her unable to go home because she will continue on night shift with her 2 best buddies.

“It was you!!” Ji-A hit Hyeon-U in the head with her phone.

“YA!!! That hurts!!!” Hyeon-U rubbing his head to reduce the pain caused by Ji-A phone.

“What now?” ask Mi-Yeon.

“He told eonnie about Siwon.... traitor!!” Ji-A throws a very scary look to Hyeon-U.

Hyeon-U smiles and continues reading his medical journal.

“I met Ji-Yeon noona at the cafeteria last Friday, and she asked me to sit and eat together....” Hyeon-U telling her one sided romance story.

“Yeah ... there must be a thousand of butterflies in your stomach at that moment..” tease Mi-Yeon.

“There were butterflies all over my body....” Hyeon-U smile,

“And then it just came out like that, we talked about this and that. And to keep me talking with her, your dumped incident was one of my themes...” continue Hyeon-U. Ji-A kicks Hyeon-U's leg. Then she continued watching.

“What are you reading anyway?” ask Ji-A.

“I’m having a cardiac surgery on a 15 years old girl tomorrow with your brother. She has arrhythmia , so I need to have myself ready too. I was so surprised Jae-Hwan hyung put me on the list of surgery staff as his assistant for tomorrow. He is very picky, you know...” said Hyeon-U.

“That’s why I never take cardio as my specialty.... My dad is better than him at teaching.” Said Ji-A.

“So have you decided what your specialty will be?” Ji-A asks Mi-Yeon.

“Yeah... I already sent the form to professor Ko In-Sung... I will be a pediatric.” Said Mi-Yeon.

“Waaahhh they’re kissing....isssh that’s a very good kiss...when actor do kissing scene like that was it take once or couple times?” Ji-A keep looking at the screen. She already planned that today she will continue the drama, last night she already done 2 episodes, now she want to finish another one episode before her break time over.

“More than once....he is very lucky to kiss many beautiful women just because he does it as his work....” said Hyeon-U.

“Didn’t he get swayed for once? I mean kissing it's not something that you can do lightly even if it's an act...” said Ji-A.

“Actors and actresses are people who are already trained for these scenes, I once read there’s a trick on doing the kiss so they can maintain their own feeling..both actors and actresses will discuss first on how they do it...” Mi-Yeon said.

“Imagine when they do a bedscene, if you happen to have a celebrity boyfriend I bet you will flip and throw a tantrum because of that..” Hyeon-U laughs at Ji-A.

“I know....I think I will choose a singer rather than an actor if I happen to date a celebrity..” said Ji-A.

Mi-Yeon slid closer to her to watch it together. Actually due to her curiosity, she already watched all the 16 episodes. But Ji-A will smack her if she finds out, they both promise to not cheat on each other, not peeping to any recaps anywhere about this drama, even though they already avoided the drama forum for weeks to keep their patience about the ending of this drama.

“He is indeed very handsome, now everytime I see a soldier my imagination will be full with him...” Mi-Yeon cannot take her eyes off Hui-Jun.

“If you see a doctor then you will think of me...” said Ji-A full of confidence.

“You wish....” Mi-Yeon rolled her eyes.

“He is very rich now...Everytime there’s CF time, his face always pops up. Even nurse Song bought ice cream directly after seeing his CF. Not to mention his face all over the magazines and stores....” Hyeon-U added.

“Everyone wants him now.... you remember the nurses? It’s just like they were ready to jump at him at any moment..” Ji-A remembered the day Hui-Jun was brought to her hospital.

“The day after that accident he went to Bangkok if i’m not mistaken..” said Mi-Yeon.

“Are you stalking him?” ask Hyeon-U

“Every girl does that now....” Mi-Yeon defended herself.

“I’m not....” said Ji-A.

“Shut up..” said Mi-Yeon.

Suddenly Ji-A phone rings...”Nurse Sung” name appears in her caller ID.

“Yes nurse..” Ji-A answered her phone.

“Ji-A you are needed in the emergency room right now, the man just came and collapsed after having a seizure at his office..”

“Understand, I’m on my way.”

Ji-A handed her tablet to Mi-Yeon. She looks at her Jjajangmyun that still half left,

“I will never be able to finish my evening snack..” sigh Ji-A, “I need to go right now... bye” Ji-A leaves her friends and rushes to the Operation Room.

“Have you told her that you actually have finished the drama?” ask Hyeon-U.

“How do you know that???!!!!!!” Mi-Yeon looks very surprised knowing that Hyeon-U finds out her sins.

“You were talking about the ending with doctor Ha-Ae last 2 weeks ago.... I accidentally heard your interesting conversation...” Hyeon-U gives his evil smile.

Mi-Yeon looked at him desperately.

“What do you want?” She give-up on fighting this war with Hyeon-U.

“Take over my night shift tomorrow.... I have some business to do.... I have a date...” said Hyeon-U.

Mi-Yeon throws the chopstick she holds to Hyeon-U and looks at him very mad.

∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞

Ji-A walks slowly in the crowded Itaewon. Hyeon-U is having an appointment with someone that she and Mi-Yeon should never knew (said Hyeon-U) and won’t tell her the place too, while Mi-Yeon is having night shift (Ji-A very sure that tonight is Hyeon-U schedule for night shift, but Mi-Yeon insisted that it was her schedule). She decided to take a walk before going home. She wants to have some drinks to ease her bad mood right now. Ji-A remembers a bar that she and Gyeong-Su once visited, the owner of the cafe is Gyeong-Su's friend. And she remembers the place is very near from where she is now. She decided to go to that cafe, she took out the phone and dialed a number in her speed dial.

“Oppa..” Ji-A said hello to the person she called.

“Yes...are you at work?” the man asked.

“No...I am at Itaewon right now...” Ji-A reply.

“Itaewon?? What are you doing there? With who?” Gyeong-Su sounded surprised.

“Gyeong-Su oppa, do you remember the bar that was owned by your friend in Itaewon? You took me there once..” Ji-A asked.

“Oohh... Do you want to go there?” Gyeong-Su remember the place.

“Can you accompany me? Now?” Ji-A asked him again.

Gyeong-Su takes a breath, he hates his situation right now. He loves to spend his time with Ji-A but he has a presentation to make about this mall project in 10 minutes.

“I’m so sorry... I have a presentation to do in 10 minutes..” Gyeong-Su sounds very sorry.

“Aah... that’s fine...” Ji-A disappointed.

“Do you want me to pick you up, I’ll call when I’m done..” Gyeong-Su.

“No need for oppa, I’m with Hyeon-U. He will take me home.” Ji-A lies. Ji-A sigh....even Gyeong-Su who usually is always there for her is busy too right now. “Where is everyone when I need them...”

She keeps walking to the cafe. Today is white day, Ji-A sees many couples walking around her, she really hates the view. Now she has already arrived at the venue. Suddenly someone pokes her shoulder.

“Someone will kidnap you if you hang around alone like this...” he whispered in Ji-A ear.

Ji-A turned her head, and she saw Dong-Hyeok was smiling at him.

“What are you doing here alone?” ask Dong-Hyeok.

“YA!! Call me noona..” Ji-A put her hands on her waist.

“Noona my ***.... you are only 1 month older than me, why should I call you noona..” said Dong-Hyeok, “Even the american call someone 10 years older by their name..” Dong-Hyeok making another excuse.

“Tsk...” Ji-A shook her head.

“Where’s your other musketeers?” Dong-Hyeok asked.

“Mi-Yeon you mean??” Ji-A catches his intention on Mi-Yeon.

Dong-Hyeok gave a very wide smile.

“Forget her... I will never give her to a player like you...” Ji-A knows exactly Dong-Hyeok's reputation with girls.

Dong-Hyeok put his arm on her shoulder...“Do you want to marry her then?” he asked.

“I’m still normal...I already told appa I will marry TOP ” said Ji-A.

Dong-Hyeok speechless hearing Ji-A answer.

“Not GD? Or 2PM or EXO or Bangtan?? It is TOP now? I wonder how your dad heard that...” Dong-Hyeok remembers how she dragged him to the EXO concert because Ji-A punished him for failing to get her VIP tickets and saw how Ji-A went into a crazy fan girl at the concert.

“Then let me date her..” Dong-Hyeok persuades Ji-A again.

“NEVER!” Ji-A pushes Dong-Hyeok's arm from her shoulder. They enter the cafe with Dong-Hyeok coming at the back.

Hui-Jun just came back from the rest room when he saw someone familiar entering the cafe. He sees the doctor coat on her shoulder, and tries to look more details on her.

“Oh... that’s the doctor..” said Beom-Seok pointing his finger to the woman who entered the cafe.

Right... that’s Baek Ji-A. Hui-Jun smiled seeing her, but then he saw the man at her back, they looked very close. The man hugs her shoulder and they laugh while walking. And his eyes keep looking at Ji-A who’s now taking the bar seat with the man.

“Doctor who? So-Mi noona doctor?” ask Gi-Gwang while his eyes look to the direction where Beom-Seok points.

“No....the ER doctor that helped him before..” said Gi-Gwang while pointing at Hui-Jun's wound.

“Ooh... seems the doctor needs a drink..” Gi-Gwang smiled.

Hui-Jun kept looking at Ji-A and the man with her without saying anything.

While at the bar seat Ji-A finally finds company for her drinks buddy tonight.

“What do you want?” ask Dong-Hyeok.

“Jack Rose..” said Ji-A. Dong-Hyeok looked at her and dropped his jaw...

“You are really a brat... even Jae-Hwan hyung only can handle 1 bottle soju but you can handle many of this...” Dong-Hyeok shook his head and ordered.

Then a cafe owner come approaching them,

“Dong-Hyeok you come...” he said his hi to Dong-Hyeok.

“Yes hyung.... I just happened to be in this neighborhood and found my dongsaeng hanging around...” Dong-Hyeok.

“Dongsaeng??!!!” Ji-A looks pissed.

“Girlfriend??? No no... I don’t want a girlfriend like you ...” Dong-Hyeok teases her. Ji-A hit Dong-Hyeok hard. The owner that sees them just laughs, that’s enough already to see that they are close.

“What do you want?” Ask the owner.

“1 Rose Jack for her and 1 Sazerac for me..” says Dong-Hyeok.

Hui-Jun keeps watching Ji-A. He really wants to come and talk to her, but the man sitting beside her makes him hesitate to do that.

Ji-A and Dong-Hyeok enjoy their drinks talking about their family or their day. Dong-Hyeok knows that she looks so gloomy today and cheers her up, while sometimes they bicker at each other.

Dong-Hyeok looks at his watch, then he looks to his back.

“She should be here right now...” Dong-Hyeok mumbling.

“Who?” ask Ji-A sipping her drink.

“My date..” said Dong-Hyeok.. “There she is..” Dong-Hyeok gets up and waves to the girl that just entered the cafe.

“Then how about me?” ask Ji-A.

“I dumped you right now...annyeong..” Dong-Hyeok leaves his seat and greets the girl. Ji-A looked at him full of jealousy.

“Even a useless chaebol like him can get a different girl every week..” said Ji-A.

“Hyung... put her bill in mine okay!!” Dong-Hyeon shouted to the cafe owner, who is now talking with Hui-Jun and friends.

“I will put everyone’s bill in yours if you leave??!!!” Ji-A threat on Dong-Hyeok.

“Put everything... I’m capable for paying that..'' Dong-Hyeok does not feel threatened at all.

Ji-A rolls her eyes and enjoys her lonely time.

The cafe owner raised his thumb hearing what Dong-Hyeok said.

“Who is that?” Hui-Jun asks, looking at Dong-Hyeok who is now leaving with a girl.

“Nam Dong-Hyeok.....a very cheerful man... the girl that was left alone is his dongsaeng at least that what he said before... seems like she is a doctor..” said the cafe owner.

“She is my doctor..” said Hui-Jun, he smiled then got up from his seat. “I have to say hi to her..” he said.

Beok-Seok and Gi-Gwang surprise to see Hui-Jun blunt act, this bar is having more than 20 peoples right now and he go to approach that girl without thinking that someone may take his picture, Gi-Gwang just laugh to see his friend act he know exactly that kind of gesture from Hui-Jun,

“Let him, it’s useless if you stop him right now...just stay and think what kind of excuses you’ll say if there’s a picture of him and that girl leaked..” Gi-Gwang stops Beom-Seok who’s going to shout Hui-Jun's name to stop him.

Hui-Jun walks toward Ji-A and he takes a seat beside her.

“Hi..” Hui-Jun greet his doctor.

Ji-A looked at the voice, and she was surprised to see Hui-Jun  there.“You’re here?” Ji-A smile.

“I am... are you alone?” ask Hui-Jun.

“Now I am.... the brat who bought me this bail for a girl he’s going to date...” said Ji-A.

Hui-Jun smiles, somehow he is happy hearing that he can have an excuse to accompany her.

“How is your wound?” Ji-A looked at his hand.

“It’s better now.... I went to your hospital to follow up but they said you were in a meeting.” Said Hui-Jun.

Ji-A remembered that day, she was with her dad talking about the surgery they’re going to do the next day. She was told that Hyeon-U took care of Hui-Jun that day.

“Ah yes... I have some errands that day... sorry..” said Ji-A.

“Having a rough day?” Hui-Jun looked at the cocktail.

“My patient died today.... she left 2 children and her husband...” Ji-A looks sad.

Today she was performing a tumor removal surgery, but the patient's condition suddenly dropped and she failed to save her. Ji-A was very sad when she met with the patient's family informing them about their mother's death. Everyone has predicted that the surgery won’t give her any help since her tumor is already spread and worse. But the patient took her small chance to get better with the surgery. But God still has the final decision. And the decision is to end her sorrow and give her peace in heaven.

“I’m sorry to hear that..” Hui-Jun sympathized with her, “But you already do your best...that’s not your fault.” add Hui-Jun.

Ji-A smiled hearing Hui-Jun say that. “Are you here alone too?” ask Ji-A.

“I’m with friends..” Hui-Jun points at Gi-Gwang and Beom-Seok.

“I thought you should be busy today..” Ji-A smile.

“Why?” Hui-Jun doesn't understand.

“Today is white day... shouldn't you give out chocolate to all the girls that send you chocolate on valentine’s day??” tease Ji-A, “I bet you have a mountain of chocolate piles..” Ji-A laughed.

Hui-Jun laugh hear the joke.

“Then where is your chocolate? Shouldn’t your boyfriend give you chocolate today?” ask Hui-Jun

“Hemm... this year I only get sweets on Halloween...” said Ji-A.

“Does being a doctor make you too busy to have a boyfriend?” ask Hui-Jun while sipping his coffee.

“How about you, how come you hang around with your friends and not your girlfriend??? Shouldn’t it be too easy for you to find one??” Ji-A asks him back.

Both of them look at each other and share a laugh.

“I need to go home now...” Ji-A looks at her watch. It’s late already. And her head feels a little heavy after a bottle of beer and a glass of Jack Rose.

“Are you going home alone?” Hui-Jun feels worried.

“Yes... I just need to take a taxi..” said Ji-A then she waved goodbye to the cafe owner, she then took out her phone Gyeong-Su texted her.

“Hyeon-U is on a date and his date is not you. I’m 10 minutes away, wait for me outside.”

“Ah .. my brother came to pick me up...bye..” Ji-A bowed her head to Hui-Jun saying her goodbye.

“Can I have your number?” Suddenly Hui-Jun had the courage to ask that. He was thinking about that since they sit together and talk.

With swings on her head she doesn’t think much about that, Ji-A nods then they switch phone numbers. Then they parted. Hui-Jun watches her leave and comes back to sit with his friends.

∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞

Jae-Hwan is reading a journal in his office. He just finished the surgery. A text pop-up in his phone screen,

“Saturday, 7PM Japanese restaurant at Apgujeong. Please talk normally this time, she is chairman Kang Mi-Ran daughter. You screwed, I screwed....”

He smile reading text from his aunt. After successfully being the cupid for Ji-Yeon and Ryeo-Uk, her reputation in her group is rising. Many mothers that have daughters persuade her to introduce their daughter with Jae-Hwan. Baek Mi-Seok being very selective and only pick the prettiest for Jae-Hwan, but Jae-Hwan always ruin it in first hour they met. Either they eat in silent mode or Jae-Hwan keep talking about cardio and heart disease.

“Understand Immo...” Jae-Hwan replies to the text.

Then his phone rang..

“Jae-Hwan ah the basketball game on Saturday is on...everyone will come..” the caller is Gyeong-Su.

“What time?” ask Jae-Hwan.

“Around 6PM then we go to dinner together..” said Gyeong-Su, “Maybe with a few drinks..” he added.

“6?” Jae-Hwan remembers the text from his aunt.

“Yes.... why do you have something to do?”

“No....I’ll be there at 6..” said Jae-Hwan.

He then typing something again,

“Immo...let’s make the appointment at 5. I have another thing at 6.” Text sent.

In five minutes, incoming text.

“Are you crazy? You already think to ruin this with only giving her 1 hour for a date. She will not finish her main course yet the moment you leave. Forget it.. I will rearrange the time. Why you always accept my blind date setting if you’re continue going to ruin it?”

Jae-Hwan replied back.

“I appreciate your effort Immo...“ Text sent.

“I will never be able to beat you.” Text Mi-Seok.

Jae-Hwan smiles while reading his aunt's text.

Then the nurse come in,

“Professor Jae-Hwan, someone is looking for you. She said she is coming because of a recommendation from professor Oh from Sunji Hospital..”

Jae-Hwan remembered this morning Professor Oh from Sunji Hospital called him, and told him about his patient that had Cardiomyopathy. He seeks Jae-Hwan's opinion and asks him to take over the patient since professor Oh is going to move to China as he receives an offer to work there.

“Send her in.” Jae-Hwan takes the print of patient information given by professor Oh.

A woman came in, Jae-Hwan looked at her. He is surprised to see the beauty in her, but at the same time she looks very fragile. Her first symptoms of Cardiomyopathy was when she’s 9. She has gone through 2 major surgeries and various therapy. But her condition is still the same even now it seems to worsen.

“Please sit down.” Jae-Hwan stands and asks her to sit.

“I’m Goh So-Mi, Professor Oh told me that you will handle my case starting now.” Said So-Mi.

“Ah yes, professor Oh already contacted me and gave your details.” Said Jae-Hwan.

“Ah I see..” said So-Mi.

“Is there anything that you need to prescribe for me?” ask So-Mi.

It’s the first time in Jae-Hwan's life that he lost words. He cannot even think about the next step of treatment that he should try to apply for her. He got smitten by her.

“Ah yes, is the medication from professor Oh still in stock?” Jae-Hwan re-look at the drugs list that was consumed by So-Mi.

“Yes... I still have it until next week” answer So-Mi.

“Does the ICD still work properly? Have you had any issue with that recently?” ask Jae-Hwan again.

“No...it works perfectly.” Said So-Mi.

“Okay, then I’m going to schedule you again for next week when the medication is done. Please come again, I will look again and maybe run some tests for you.” Jae-Hwan looks at So-Mi.

His eyes capture So-Mi's figure perfectly, her smile brings out the best of her in Jae-Hwan opinion.

Goh So-Mi left Jae-Hwan office. While Jae-Hwan keeps eyeing her. He read again the patient information sheet, she is only 8 months younger than him. But reading her health chart makes Jae-Hwan feel uneasy, the stage is already severe and if she fails with the ICD, heart transplant is the only choice. Jae-Hwan re-look again at his other  similar cases.

“Nurse please leave my schedule empty for next Wednesday, list only Goh So-Mi for my consultation. In case of an emergency just don’t page me and hand over the patient to professor Kwak or Shin.” Jae-Hwan talks to his nurse assistant.

∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞

“Yeobo, can you pick me on your way home?” Ji-Yeon asks Ryeo-Uk.

“Where are you now?” Ryeo-Uk holding his phone with his shoulder while he is still busy looking for a document.

“I’m at Japanese restaurant near your office, and I didn’t bring my car.” Said Ji-Yeon

“Okay, I need to find one thing first then I’ll meet you there in 15 minutes, can you wait?” said Ryeo-Uk.

“Okay... thank you..” said Ji-Yeon.

15 minutes later Ryeo-Uk showed up.

“Can we eat? Or you can have tea if you are full. I’m hungry” said Ryeo-Uk smiling.

Ji-Yeon smiles and nod. Then she entered again the Japanese restaurant she left before, this time not with her friends but with her husband.

“Are you busy all day so you skip your lunch?” Ji-Yeon put the fish that she had already peeled into her husband's bowl.

“The meeting took longer than I thought. After that I stuck with the conference call with the Japanese and I forgot my lunch..” Ryeo-Uk smiles, he then offers the sashimi to Ji-Yeon. Ji-Yeon smiles and opens her mouth.

“You’re so thin... eat as much food as you like.... Aboenim will scold me if he sees you like this” Ryeo-Uk look at his wife figure.

“I think this is ideal .... oppa, you know I can’t eat too much..” Ji-Yeon smiles while serving his husband.

“Seo-Jun called me today and said he made me a carnation but he forget to bring it home, so I should not sulk if I don’t get the carnation since you will, he didn’t forget yours..” said Ryeo-Uk remembering his cute conversation with his son this afternoon.

“Then what did you say?”

“I say I will stay in my room sulking until I get my carnation..” Ryeo-Uk laughed.

“Do you know what he said?” ask Ryeo-Uk again.

“What?” asked Ji-Yeon.

“Appa don’t be such a cry baby, I will get yours tomorrow..” Ryeo-Uk and Ji-Yeon burst into laughter.

Ryeo-Uk watching his wife treating him and even keep serving him this and that during his meal. She give her full attention to him. Ji-Yeon is beautiful, he admit it since the first time they met. Knowing her later after the marriage make him care about her much. But there’s always a guilty feeling everytime he sees her, every time he sees Ji-Yeon stare at the piano he feels his heart ache. Ji-Yeon and no one knew that it was him that caused the blocks to collapse and hit Ji-Yeon at that time.

“Oppa?” Ji-Yeon calling her husband.

Ryeo-Uk come to his senses and look at Ji-Yeon

“What?” he ask.

“You were daydreaming.... What are you thinking? You seem so sad..” Ji-Yeon ask

“Ohh...nothing. It's just something from the office..” Ryeo-Uk lie. No one, especially Ji-Yeon, can know about his dark secret., his guilt to her.

∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞

Ji-A prepares to go home, after a long day at the hospital she, Mi-Yeon and  Hyeon-U will be having drinks tonight. Tomorrow they are free and Hyeon-U is having birthday today, so they already have plans to go to Apgujeong and have a very pleasant dinner after that crashing at Mi-Yeon apartment with lots of beer and soju.

“So where are you going to treat us?” ask Ji-A while changing her shoes.

“Is it okay if I bring one friend?” ask Hyeon-U.

“Who?? Your new crush?? What happened to Ji-Yeon eonnie?” ask Mi-Yeon.

“Ji-Yeon noona is my dream... this is my reality..” said Hyeon-U.

“Also.. this is my birthday... I pay for everything so both of you have.... must.... nice to my guest..do you understand?” Hyeon-U looked at his friends with a very serious look.

Ji-A and Mi-Yeon look at him, then move their shoulders.

“Noted.... but if I really don’t like her I will tell you tomorrow... first thing tomorrow..” said Ji-A.

“uhmmm... I think I can accept that..” said Hyeon-U.

Ji-A phone rings, she looks at the caller and a sudden smile creates on her face.

“Hi..” she greeted the caller in a very sweet tone.

“Hi... are you busy?” It's Hui-Jun.

“No... I just finished my work today and am going home..” said Ji-A.

“You’re not going home, you're going out to party...” Mi-Yeon interferes and laughs. She and Hyeon-U already know about the meeting between Ji-A and Hui-Jun and that they now change phone numbers. They catched Ji-A smiling by herself a few times just texting on her phone.

Ji-A threatens Mi-Yeon to stop talking.

“You’re going out?? For drinks??” Hui-Jun heard what Mi-Yeon just said.

“Oh... that... em.. Hyeon-U is having birthday today. So this is already our tradition to get wasted on our birthday hehehe..” said Ji-A.

“Wasted?? Are you going to have a lot of drinks??” Hui-Jun sounds worried and surprised.

“eemmmm.... ya...” Ji-A realize her mistake to tell him tonight plan.

“Don’t get drunk tonight... I will pick you up and want to have a nice conversation with you. It will be hard to do that if you’re drunk...” said Hui-Jun.

And Ji-A froze to hear that. She doesn't know how to reply to what he said just then.

“When will you pick me up?” Ji-A walks to the door, tries to get away from her friend and whispers.

“I will finish my work at 9 or 10 maybe. I want to meet you..” Hui-Jun smiles shyly admitting his blunt act. He thought about this phone call hundreds of times today. But he just really wants to see her again.

“Let’s go, I'm already hungry..” Hyeon-U passes her and pulls her arm.

“Oppa... I will text you the address so you can come... is it okay with you?” ask Ji-A.

“okay... I will text you once I’m done and headed to your place.” Said Hui-Jun.

Mi-Yeon link her arm to Ji-A’s,

“So are you going to have a date with him?” ask Mi-Yeon giggling.

“Don’t do that..” warn Hyeon-U.

“Why???” ask Ji-A.

“Thousands of girls will pull your hair out once they know you’re dating him..” Hyeon-U frightened her.

Reflect Ji-A touch her hair... and shake her head.

“We’re friends.... no romance so no one is going to pull my hair...now” said Ji-A.

“I will do that first once you’re officially dating him..” said Mi-Yeon.

“I’ll grab her so it will be easy for you to do that..” said Hyeon-U.

“YA!!!!” scream Ji-A and kick both of her friends. They are laughing happily.

But the situation outside the hospital has turned into dark.

“What is she doing here??” said Mi-Yeon. Ji-A and Mi-Yeon look at their nemesis.

“Ya!! Geum Bora, you do have a very thick nerve to come here..” said Ji-A crossing her arms in her chest.

“This is not your private area, I can come here anytime I want..” Bora's response was as cold as Ji-A.

She suddenly links her arm to Hyeon-U, “Do we really have to go with them.... I will get a headache sitting in the same place with them...” Bora talks with Hyeon-U.

Hyeon-U feels he is at the crossroad and 3 trucks are ready to hit him hard. He looked at Ji-A and Mi-Yeon who were angry at him. But then he looked to Bora who already nailed his heart.

“I already know that this is going to be crazy...” he said to himself.

“You already promise you will be nice to her...” Hyeon-U looks into Ji-A.

“That before I know your guest is her..” defended Ji-A.

“This is my birthday too.... we had an agreement that if you dislike her you will come up with that tomorrow...” Hyeon-U pulled out his wild card.

“Are you going to use that card???” ask Mi-Yeon.

“This is my birthday...” said Hyeon-U.

“Arrrrggghhhh I cannot believe this.... are you really dating her??? Is she the one that you told me you’re going to have a date???The one that make me work night shift??? ARE YOU CRAZY??!!!!!!” ask Mi-Yeon frantic.

Hyeon-U holds Bora's hand and hides her at his back.

“YA!!! I really don’t believe this. The stewardess from before is WAY better than her..” said Ji-A.

“What stewardess??? Ya!!! How could you say I’m lower than other girls? I’m the best even compared to you...” Bora takes her stand in the game.

“What??!!!!” Ji-A returns her word.

“Yes.. if i’m not better than you then Daesung oppa will not leave you for me..” said Bora.

“You crazy bitch...” Ji-A throws her bag and runs to her.

Another seconds later the war officially breaks at Baek Hospital parking lot, and poor Hyeon-U is busy separating three of them.

“YAA!!! Stop it!!!! Ouch Mi-Yeon!!!! don’t pull my hair.. YA!!! Ji-A stop it or I will kick you back!!! Bora stop it, you're really not helping me!!!” Hyeon-U screams in pain.

They panting in the parking lot try to catch their breath after the fight.

“I don’t want to eat... I need alcohol” said Hyeon-U.

“I don’t want to go with her..” said Ji-A.

“Me too” add Mi-Yeon.

“Then let’s go Hyeon-U we can go just the two of us..” Bora stands up and fixes her hair.

“What did you just say??!!” Ji-A back in anger.

“Stop it... I’m running out of energy now... I need to recharge it to pull her hair later..” Mi-Yeon holds Ji-A’s arm.

Suddenly a white Range Rover approached them.

“Mi-Yeon ah are you okay?? Why are you sitting on the ground like that?” It's Dong-Hyeok. He got out of his car and ran to Mi-Yeon.

“Are you okay?” he looks worried.

“What are you doing here?” Ji-A looked at him.

“I’m going to visit the girl I met a few days ago, she is sick and hospitalized here..” but then Dong-Hyeok put his hand in his mouth, realizing that he said the wrong thing.

Ji-A smiling, catching on to what Dong-Hyeok just said.

“Aaahhh the girl you dated last week???” Ji-A knows how Dong-Hyeok likes Mi-Yeon. But she never gives him a chance to get close to Mi-Yeon.

“What date... it’s just a friend. She lies to Mi-Yeon-ah I never date random girls... “ he shows Mi-Yeon his charming smile.

“Eeeiisssshhh don’t fall for him... he is truly a casanova..” said Ji-A.

“Do you want to come with us?” ask Hyeon-U.

“Yeah that’s a good idea, I don’t want to be in the same car with her..” said Mi-Yeon.

Hearing Mi-Yeon saying that, Dong-Hyeok nodded instantly.

“Of course I will go with you..” Dong-Hyeok helps Mi-Yeon stand up.

“Didn’t you want to visit your ex-date??” said Ji-A.

Dong-Hyeok hit her, “What date.... I’m here to pick her..” Dong-Hyeok pull Mi-Yeon closer to him

“Argghh I can’t believe this...” Ji-A shake her head.

Hyeon-U and Bora go first, while Ji-a and Mi-Yeon follow with Dong-Hyeok car.

Ji-A walked into Dong-Hyeok's car and opened the front door for her. Suddenly Dong-Hyeok asked her.

“What are you doing?” asked Dong-Hyeok.

“What?” Ji-A doesn't understand his stare.

“You sit in the back, that’s Mi-Yeon's seat...” said Dong-Hyeok pointing to the backseat's door.

“What!!!.... arrgghhh I am really pissed today...unbelievable” Ji-A cursing Dong-Hyeok.

Dong-Hyeok and Mi-Yeon laugh seeing her reaction.

As expected the dinner just went totally brutal, Hyeon-U must ask for another serving of meat since Ji-A and Mi-Yeon refuse to eat from the same serving as Bora has. While Dong-Hyeok really enjoys his meeting with Mi-Yeon, they both look so childish together.

“I don’t believe this but it seems both of you are very good together...” Ji-A shakes her head seeing his cute overload between drunk Mi-Yeon and happy Dong-Hyeok.

“So you agree that I can be with her?” ask Dong-Hyeok.

“Never...” Ji-A reply.

“Whyyy???? He’s nice though...” Mi-Yeon ask with blabbering words.

“Yeah nice...wait for a week being his girlfriend. He goes from nice to a missing person...a girl won’t last more than a week for him.” said Ji-A.

Then her phone buzzed...

“Is that your date?” Hyeon-U teased her.

Ji-A only smiles and goes away from the crowd to answer the phone.

“Oppa are you on your way?” ask Ji-A.

“I will arrive in 10 minutes... can you wait outside? I don’t think I can enter the restaurant..” said Hui-Jun.

“Ah...right it will be too burdensome for you... I’ll wait outside then... bye” said Ji-A.

Ji-A rushes back to her friends,

“I need to go now... I don’t want to have night drinks with you tonight and she's already drunk too...” Ji-A points to Mi-Yeon who already started her drunk song and throws an angry look at Hyeon-U and Bora.

“But I really will have some issues with you on Monday...” Ji-A stare at Hyeon-U,

“You... take her home safely... if something ever happens to her I will kill you myself..” Ji-A look at Dong-Hyeok. Dong-Hyeok raised his thumbs and nodded.

“I'm going now.... bye...” Ji-A leaves her friends.

“Where does she go? Home??? Eehhh no way ..'' ask Dong-Hyeok.

“She’s going to have her hair pulled out by thousands of girls..” Hyeon-U replied.

Ji-A runs to meet Hui-Jun outside, she waits and not too long a car approaches her. She waves as she recognizes the blinking lamp from that car.

She rushes and opens the door.

“Can I sit here or I should go to the back row again now??” Ji-A greets Hui-Jun.

“Hah?? Why??” Hui-Jun was confused about what she just said.

Ji-A laughs and gets into the car.

“Dong-Hyeok was kicking me out from sitting at the front since that’s Mi-Yeon place..” Ji-A telling him about what happened to the seat incident before.

“You can have that seat in my car...” laughed Hui-Jun. Ji-A smile hearing that.

“Where are we going?’ ask Ji-A.

“I want to take you to a very nice place and have a good meal. I skipped the dinner invitation with the magazine staff just then so I can eat with you..” said Hui-Jun.

“Is that okay with you?” ask Ji-A.

“What?” Hui-Jun replied.

“Being in an outdoor place with me? Someone must notify you, and what if they think that you are having a dating scandal?” Ji-A said she was worried.

Hui-Jun laughed hearing that.

“Dating scandal??? Are we having a date right now??” tease Hui-Jun.

“We’re not??” Ji-A suddenly sulked.

“Iiisshhh today is really not my day...” she speak to her self. Hui-Jun look at her and smile.

“You are so cute...” he said in a low tone.

They arrive in front of a restaurant, the front view is very cozy. Looks like a very lovely house with lots of sunflowers in front of the building.

Hui-Jun ask for Ji-A hand,

“What?? We’re not even on a date, why do you want to hold my hand??” Ji-A is still sulking. She walks into the restaurant leaving Hui-Jun who laughs hearing her words.

They sit at the back of the restaurant, it has a very beautiful garden view. All the restaurant staff seem very close with Hui-Jun, and the restaurant has no other guests besides Hui-Jun and Ji-A.

“Why is there no one coming to this place?? This place is very beautiful..” Ji-A wanders while she explores the restaurant design.

“Didn’t you say you don’t want me to get into a dating scandal? So I asked them to close early and serve us only..” said Hui-Jun sipping his drink.

“Who said I’m dating you...” Ji-A blush hearing that, she turns her head to look around so Hui-Jun does not catch her blushing.

The food is very nice, the atmosphere also very cozy. They both had a great time together.

“Are you going to the hospital tomorrow?” ask Hui-Jun.

“Tomorrow is my day break, that’s why I can have lots of drinks tonight... “ Ji-A smile.

“You like alcohol so much?” ask Hui-Jun.

“Not really, only if I have a good friend to drink with. bad things happen, but not until I’m totally wasted... people say I’m a good drinker...also I don’t get drunk in front of guys except Hyeon-U...” said Ji-A.

“The three of you seem very close..” said Hui-Jun.

“We’ve been together since preschool.... and Hyeon-U is the one that does everything between the three of us..” Ji-A laughed.

“Have you finished the drama?” ask Hui-Jun.

“Yes.... It’s a nice story like everyone said... no wonder the nurses were gathering in front of you before.... Joon Daewi is indeed a very sexy and charming man...” Ji-A looks at Hui-Jun and smiles. Hui-Jun likes it, he likes the way Ji-A looks at him.

“So which one do you like more? Joon daewi or Park Hui-Jun?” Hui-Jun teases her.

“Both are impossible for me to have...” Ji-A smile, try to keep her reality.

“Why?” ask Hui-Jun.

“Joon daewi never existed in reality, and actor Park Hui-Jun.... I don’t think it will be easy for me to date you...” Ji-A remembers “the thousand girls line”.

“I’m just an ordinary man outside my acting world.... it’s just my job.... anything outside my job is only a normal me..me that sometimes throws a very bad joke.... me that sometimes calls you often just to say I miss you or asking what are you doing.... I will be so jealous if you like other men more than me....me that sometimes will ignore you because I’m busy but I want you to understand...” Hui-Jun looks at Ji-A, he doesn’t believe that he just confessed to her.

But the feeling has already lingered in him since the first time they met. Ji-A's smile always attracts him to keep remembering her. Her voice makes him want to call her again and again. He loves her eyes and wants to look at it everytime. And being with her like this is a very nice moment for him.

Ji-A stoned hearing what Hui-Jun just said. She can feel that her face suddenly has a higher temperature and she can tell that now her face is blushing.

“Can we date? Can you be my girlfriend?” Hui-Jun asks in a very careful tone. He can see how shocked Ji-A is now.

“Oppa... you are a big star now.... is that okay if you choose me? Not Min-Soon eonnie? Everyone said you are dating her... what happens if your fans kill me?” ask Ji-A, she is confused about every word that comes out from her.

“Me and Min-Soon noona are my only friends, good friends. Nothing more. Also what’s wrong with you being my girlfriend, I like you as a man like a woman, so you occupy my mind from the beginning and... I don’t want anyone else either..” said Hui-Jun,

“Or maybe the burden is on you.... You are the youngest chaebol from the Baek clan, so maybe I’m too commoner for your family?” Hui-Jun teases her.

“Oh please our family is not living that life..... I even told my dad I will marry TOP last month...” said Ji-A.

Hui-Jun laugh hearing that,

“TOP?? Then what did he say?” ask Hui-Jun.

“He said I’m crazy and gave him a headache.... he told me to marry a normal korean man since he turned down Bradley Cooper too..’” said Ji-A.

Hui-Jun laughs, he is surely in love with the pretty and funny doctor in front of him now.

“Am I dreaming...” Ji-A mumbling and taking another sip of her wine.

“I don’t know anything about dating a celebrity... especially a well known celebrity like you... is that okay with you?” ask Ji-A.

“Let me ask you something,” Hui-Jun stand-up and walked to Ji-A. He knelt in front of her then held her hand.

“What if when I’m with you, I’m just Park Hui-Jun who likes you very much and always remembers you since the first day we met. But I have a job that will make me a little busier than any guy you dated before. I may be travelling a lot and receiving many gifts from other girls. I can’t show you to the public because I want to protect you. But in times like this where I can spend it with you I will use it in a very special way just to be with you. I’m just Park Hui-Jun who happens to like you and wants you to be his girlfriend. Is that okay with you?” Hui-Jun caresses her hand with his thumb.

“It’s a lie if I said I don’t like you. It’s also a lie if I said I don’t want to be your girlfriend and dating you. But will it be okay? Since if I love you more I don’t want to end up losing you and things go bad between us.” Said Ji-A.

“When we’re together I’m not actor Park Hui-Jun, I’m just Park Hui-Jun...and you’re just Baek Ji-A my girlfriend. I don’t know what will happen next but I will do my best to keep this thing between us. And I hope you do too..” said Hui-Jun.

Ji-A smile, a very pretty smile. She nodded and looked at Hui-Jun. Hui-Jun moved his face closer, his lips reaching for Ji-A lips. When they meet he touches her lips very gently and stays like that for a moment then he kisses her, a very sweet kisses and he caresses her hair, while Ji-A links her arms in Hui-Jun's shoulder. They’re lost in the moment and enjoy the first day of them being as a couple.

“I guess I need to wear a hat every day now to keep my hair safe...” said Ji-A and Hui-Jun looked at her and didn't understand her line.

∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞

“Is she already here?” Jae-Hwan asks his nurse.

“Not yet professor, do I need to call her?” ask the nurse. Jae-Hwan weighing the option, if she has to be called then he will do it himself since he already peeps into her phone number at the patient database and saves it in his phone.

“No... I will wait..” said Jae-Hwan

Jae-Hwan is waiting anxiously for his new cardiac patient. Goh So-Mi who already met him last week. He also does not understand himself today. He picked the most pretty tie to match his suit that he chose carefully, he asked his maid to re-polish his shoes, Jae-Hwan even sprayed his perfume more than usual to finish his looks. Suddenly his door open, Jae-Hwan quickly stand,

“oppa...” Ji-A call Jae-Hwan.

Jae-Hwan is disappointed to see his sister that happens to show up at his door.

“What?!!” said Jae-Hwan.

“Eeeyy what is it with your mood today.... come help me at the emergency, someone just came in with cardiac arrest, we identified her as your patient. She asked to be brought here before she collapsed.” Ji-A ask him to come immediately.

“Hyeon-U is able to take care of her situation for now but she needs further treatment or surgery to find out more... and you are the best person to do that.” Said Ji-A.

“Can’t you contact professor Kwak?? I have an appointment with another patient.” Jae-Hwan really wants to meet the girl he’s been waiting for.

“Oppa she is your patient, why do I have to call that weird Kwak, he keeps staring at me whenever he meets me..” said Ji-A.

“Hurry ...” Ji-A pulls Jae-Hwan's hand and drags him to follow her.

Jae-Hwan and Ji-A arrive at the emergency ward, when Jae-Hwan near the patient bed he is surprised of who he sees. He ran to make sure of what he saw just then. It’s Goh So-Mi.

“What happened to her?” Jae-Hwan panics and examines her.

“She collapsed two blocks from here, before she collapsed she told the man that helped her to be brought here so the paramedic brought her here. Her heart beat is very slow, I managed to give her ephi when she crashed. Now the heart rate is stabilized but you should check on her again to make sure.” Said Ji-A.

“WHY NO ONE PAGE ME WHEN SHE CAME???!!!!!” Jae-Hwan exploded and Ji-A was shocked to see her brother act like that. It’s not the calm Jae-Hwan she knows.

“Oppa..what are you doing... you know the drill, also when we did call you, your nurse said you have an appointment and referred this to professor Kwak that’s why Hyeon-U and I managed to save her first. Then I personally went to your office and brought you here..” explain Ji-A.

Jae-Hwan takes a deep breath, he examines Goh So-Mi and looks at the chart. He looks in detail on what drugs that Ji-A already used for her. He checks So-Mi's handbag and finds her pills. He counts the pills in detail while thinking about the next step he will take. His heart beating in race, he needs to calm down.

“Just move her to the VIP room,” Jae-Hwan tell the nurse to move Goh So-MI

“NOW!!” He repeated his order.

Ji-A looked at her brother with an unbelievable look.

“But professor Jae-Hwan, based on her insurance profile she is not entitled for VIP or VVIP ward.” Nurse Sung tries to talk about So-Mi insurance coverage with Jae-Hwan.

But seems that line just add the fire in Jae-Hwan emotion, Jae-Hwan never affraid to the emergency ward nazi, and give her a cold look.

“I own the hospital, move her right now or you can kiss your position in this ward goodbye.”

So-Mi quickly moved to the VIP ward with Jae-Hwan staying on her side and making sure all the procedures were done.

“What happened to your brother today?” Hyeon-U whispers carefully to Ji-A while they’re moving So-Mi to the room.

“I don’t want to know..” said Ji-A.

Ji-A looked at the patient more closely, she had never seen her before today. Not even once, she knows all the girls that happen to be around in Jae-Hwan's life, because sometimes Jae-Hwan asks for her help to get rid of a few of them when things become too uncomfortable for Jae-Hwan. But Ji-A has never seen her before. And she is very sure that this woman is also not from her aunt blind date potential list. She doesn’t have insurance coverage for VIP ward, her clothes look too modest, her bag is not a high end designer bag, but Ji-A can tell the beauty of her. Ji-A looks at Jae-Hwan who looks nervous seeing her lying like this.

“Is he in love?? With this eonnie??” Ji-A thought.

Jae-Hwan keeps waiting for So-Mi to wake up. He read again all of her history charts from her previous hospital, even Jae-Hwan asked for all test results she ever got in there. He see So-Mi hand move  little,

“Goh So-Mi shi??” Jae-Hwan called her name.

“Oh... doctor.... am I troubling you?” So-Mi tried to smile but her chest felt a little pain. She holds it.

Suddenly the door open and she see Beom-Seok running to her,

“Noona...are you okay?? I told you to wait for me.... why you insisting on going alone. You were having fever last night... I told you to stop making that stupid cakes yesterday..” Beom-Seok is frantic. He was called by the hospital about So-Mi whereabout, he was with Hui-Jun. Hui-Jun was having a commercial shoot today. Hui-Jun told him to go and see So-Mi.

“I was so happy I could contribute to making cakes for their birthday’s souvenir...” So-Mi smiled and comforted her brother.

Beom-Seok recognizes the doctor, and he bows to Jae-Hwan.

“Hello, I’m Goh Beom-Seok, I’m her dongsaeng, her guardian. Please take good care of my sister..” Beom-Seok bowed and asked him politely.

Jae-Hwan smiles at him.

“I will do my best..” said Jae-Hwan in reply to his bow.

Jae-Hwan left the room and headed to his office. He has so many things in his thoughts right now.

“Noona, how come you passed out like that... I was terrified hearing the news..Hui-Jun told me to come as soon as I got the call... “ Beom-Seok put his bag and sat beside her.

“Poor Hui-Jun, lately he has been so busy. I must call him and apologize for dragging you here like this..” said So-Mi.

“Noona it’s fine. He is also worried about hearing you collapse. My noona, please listen to me very well and don't do anything hard. I really hate it when you’re lying in a hospital like this...” Beom-Seok holds So-Mi hand.

Beom-Seok phone ringing,

“Oh Hui-Jun...Yes, I’m at the hospital now..”

“Ooh..she’s fine now, but she needs to stay for a while..”

“Oohh...no..no... I can come tomorrow, the landlord will come and stay with her..”

“Oohh.. I understand... bye..”

Beom-Seok looked around the room, it is definitely a VIP room. Similar to the place where Hui-Jun brought before.

“Noona, is our insurance can cover this room?” Beom-Seok feels a little bit strange seeing how luxurious this room is compared to his sister's previous room in the previous hospital.

“I don’t think so, Beom-Seok can you check I’m afraid there’s a mistake.” Said So-Mi.

Beom-Seok goes to the inpatient administration, he bumps into Ji-A.

“Oh... doctor...” Beom-Seok greet her.

Ji-A surprise to see Beom-Seok in her hospital, Hui-Jun said that his manager doesn’t know about him dating her. So she has to be careful.

“Are you here alone? Or did something happen to Hui-Jun again?” Ji-A asks carefully although she cannot lie that she feels worried now.

“Oh no no no.... I’m not here with Hui-Jun... It’s my sister who is hospitalized.” Said Beom-Seok

“Oohh....” Ji-A relaxed with what Beom-Seok just said.

“I need to ask something, can you help me?” ask Beom-Seok.

“What kind of question?” reply Ji-A.

“It’s about my sister's insurance coverage. I don’t think it even covers the VIP room, but I see that my sister is placed in the VIP room....” said Beom-Seok.

“Let’s ask then..” said Ji-A.

“You heard him... can you help to check it for me?” Ji-A asks the administrator officer in front of them.

“What is the name of the patient sir?” ask the officer lady.

“Goh So-Mi..” said Beom-Seok.

Ji-A remembers the name, the emergency patient who makes Jae-Hwan frantic.

“Is it the one that my brother asked to upgrade?” Ji-A whispers to the girl.

After checking her screen the girl nodded, “Professor Jae-Hwan said to put all the excess bills into his account..” The girl whispers too and shows Ji-A the signed document by Jae-Hwan.

“Is he crazy or what....” Ji-A thought, “Does Unnie know?” Ji-A asks her again.

“I don’t know doctor..” the girl shook her head, “Emm doctor, professor Jae-Hwan said this is confidential and should not leak this to the patient or her guardian..” the girl whispered again.

“Then what should I say??” Ji-A confused.

But then she realized she can’t make Beom-Seok uncomfortable too with her brother's blunt act. She looks at Beom-Seok and figures out what kind of sentence that she’s going to tell him.

“Oppa... I don’t think there’s a mistake. Emmm but your sister was having a cardiac arrest and our room that matches your insurance package is full. So we put her in the VIP room for some time until we get the room that matches her insurance package...so you don’t have to worry about the bill. It’s all covered.” Ji-A smile, she feel guilty for telling the lie to Beom-Seok.

“Oohh... I see. Then I understood. Thank you doctor.” Said Beom-Seok.

“Anytime. You can look for me if you need something...” said Ji-A then she bowed and left Beom-Seok quickly.

Jae-Hwan stayed at his office until very late at night. He visit So-Mi sometimes to check her updates, like he’s doing right now

“Oh you haven’t gone home yet?” So-Mi woke up.

“I’m so sorry. I must be waking you up. I need to check your pulse and your blood pressure.” Jae-Hwan does the checking by himself, not the nurse as it usually should.

“No, it's fine. Why are you still here?” ask So-Mi

“I just need to check this and go home...” Jae-Hwan lied. He is not planning on going home, he already asked someone to pick up his clothes and other needs for a few days.

“Tomorrow I’m going to run some tests for you. I need you to be healthy tomorrow so we can conduct the test. “ Jae-Hwan looked at So-Mi. It’s a strange feeling that Jae-Hwan has right now. He cannot leave So-Mi, he needs to be with her.

“Okay..” So-Mi nod.

“I have a surgery scheduled for tomorrow morning. So I will have your test schedule after that.” Said Jae-Hwan.

“Thank you..” So-Mi looked at Jae-Hwan.

“For what?” Jae-Hwan replies but he keeps his eyes into his watch to count the beat.

“For being so nice to me. This kind of checking usually done by the nurse but you do it personally for me...” said So-Mi

“Well I usually do this here..” Jae-Hwan lied.

“I lived most of my youth in hospital so I know how it works between doctor and the nurse...” So-Mi smiled.

Jae-Hwan catches her smile, and it comforts him.

“Who will stay with you tomorrow? I’m sure your brother needs to work..” ask Jae-Hwan.

“Oh it's okay I can stay by myself... I’m a veteran in thing like hospital sleep in hehehe..” So-Mi tried to joke around.

“You can call your parents to come, they can stay here too. We provide an additional bed for the guardian.” said Jae-Hwan.

So-Mi smiled, she paused for a while.

“I only live with Beom-Seok. Our parents died when I was 10, then we lived with grandmother but she passed away when I was 20, so it’s only Beom-Seok and me..” said So-Mi.

Jae-Hwan looked at her, he was at a loss for words.

“I will leave you to rest...” Jae-Hwan leaves So-Mi and goes back to his office.

He can’t stop thinking about So-Mi now...more than before.

“Oppa, do you know Goh So-Mi??? She is the same age as you and Jae-Hwan oppa. Is she a friend from high school?? Or elementary school?? Or what??” Ji-A met Gyeong-Su this afternoon and they are now having lunch at a burger place near Gyeong-Su office.

“You come all the way looking for me just to ask that... I’m so offended..” Gyeong-Su pretends to be disappointed. He was so happy when Ji-A called him and asked him for lunch together. His Ji-A.

“Eeyyy....I really come to have lunch with you..” Ji-A smile at him.

“Goh So-Mi? Let's see.... no... I don’t think she is our friend at school...why?” Gyeong-Su

“Jae-Hwan oppa is really strange now. And I’m really sure that this happens because of Goh So-Mi eonnie...” Ji-A busy with her own thoughts.

“Is she pretty?” ask Gyeong-Su, “Should I visit her and ask what happened between her and Jae-Hwan?” ask Gyeong-Su again.

“She is pretty.... and a very calm lady..” said Ji-A.

“Not like you?” Gyeong-Su smiled.

“Iiisshh oppa... you promise that I will always be the most beautiful person for you even Miranda Kerr standing next to me...” Ji-A look at Gyeong-Su.

Gyeong-Su pretended to think about it so hard.....”Miranda Kerr is very sexy right now you know.... she was one of the Victoria Secret’s angels too....” said Gyeong-Su.

“Oppa...” Ji-A is mad at him.

They were both laughing and enjoying their burger.

“I will ask Jae-Hwan about the girl. We will meet tomorrow at the basketball game..” said Gyeong-Su.

“You should forget the basketball game. Jae-Hwan oppa will bail, he has never come home since Goh So-Mi stayed in our hospital. He even does all the checking by himself. He made the Goh So-Mi case personal. When it was his break he spent it in her room talking and eating together... I can’t believe I saw that side of him...” Ji-A told everything she’s been spying into.

“Then I will have free time tomorrow.... should we go together??? Watching a movie?” ask Gyeong-Su.

“I can’t... I have something to do tomorrow..” said Ji-A.

“Date?” Gyeong-Su asks carefully, trying to hide his feelings.

“What date?? I just have some errand to do...” Ji-A lie.

“Why don’t you find your own date?” ask Ji-A trying to divert the date conversation.

“Why don’t you find me a date?” replied Gyeong-Su.

“Should I try to find Miranda Kerr's phone number??” joke Ji-A.

“If you can do that I will build you a house...” said Gyeong-Su.

“Wuah... that’s tempting....” said Ji-A.

“Don’t hang around with many boyfriends..... keep yourself good, you'll have a nice man in the end to marry you...” Gyeong-Su looked at Ji-A with all his heart into his words.

“You too.... don’t keep hanging around with Jae-Hwan oppa. You need to find a good girl to be your wife..” said Ji-A.

“Iiisshhh I can’t believe I have two handsome oppas but they’re very suck in finding a good girl...” Ji-A shake her head.

Gyeong-Su smiles, he doesn't need to look for another girl, his dream girl is in front of him. It’s just a matter of time.

∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞

Mi-Yeon is waiting for her turn for her coffee at the coffee shop one block from the hospital. She stayed up late because she need to pack some clothes that she already not use.

“I really should not do that last night..” Mi-Yeon still sleepy.

“What is your order?” the barista ask her.

“1 iced americano, 1 iced caramel machiato and 1 iced vanilla latte..” Mi-Yeon order 3 different beverages for her, Ji-A and Hyeon-U.

She wait for her order to be ready while reading a magazine. It has Park Hui-Jun as its cover.

“Baek Ji-A really hit jackpot .... who know she really date a celebrity like him...” Mi-Yeon mumbling while reading Park Hui-Jun interview in that magazine.

“Chagi-ya....” suddenly Dong-Hyeok appear in front of her.

“Oh you surprise me.... What’s with chagi-ya?? I’m not your baby..” said Mi-Yeon.

“Eeyyy is Ji-A virus still attach in you??? Let it go, her virus is bad for your life...” said Dong-Hyeok.

Mi-Yeon smile. She remember her first meeting with Dong-Hyeok it was at Ji-Yeon wedding reception. She was sitting at the corner pulling off her shoes and enjoyed her wine. Suddenly someone come and join her at that table.

“Is the wine taste good?” ask him.

“It’s good....” said Mi-Yeon.

“Why are you not dancing?” ask him again.

“My leg give up... I’ve dance 3 songs already..” said Mi-Yeon.

“You are Ji-A friend? I’m Nam Dong-Hyeok.... I’m the groom little brother...” Dong-Hyeok introduce himself.

“Ahhh the cassanova ..... “ Mi-Yeon laugh.

“What??!!!!” Dong-Hyeon do not believe what he just heard.

“Ji-A told me to be careful on you....you’re a cassanova.... a playboy....a brat..” said Mi-Yeon.

“You never date me, how can you tell me I’m a playboy... I am a very loyal man...” said Dong-Hyeok.

“Yep...every playboy say that..” Mi-Yeon raise her glass and finish her wine.

Since then Dong-Hyeok keep contacting her by text sometimes he send a silly message or picture.

“I don’t need Ji-A virus to stay away from you. You are dangerous for me so I should keep myself alert..” said Mi-Yeon.

“You tell me I was a nice guy before..” said Dong-Hyeok.

“That’s not me... that’s the drunken me...” said Mi-Yeon.

“Then should we get drunk again so you can be my date?” tease Dong-Hyeok.

Mi-Yeon has her order ready,

“Maybe we can...” she smile.

“I’ll take you to your workplace..” said Dong-Hyeok.

“You’re not working?” ask Mi-Yeon.

“Why should I?? Hyung already took care everything. I will ruin everything if I work with him... “ said Dong-Hyeok.

Mi-Yeon only look at him speechless.

∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞

“Is the movie good?” Ji-A checking again her face and hair.

“It is directed by the same person who direct my previous movie... he is a great director..” Hui-Jun answer.

“Is it okay you go with me?” ask Ji-A.

“Beom-Seok already know about you. I guess I have to tell him so he can protect you if something happen during the premiere show... you just relax. I cannot sit beside you but we will be together again after the movie done and we go for dinner.” Hui-Jun smile at her.

“Actually .... I really want to spend today with you alone, but it’s my sunbae movie premiere and he personally call me to invite me to this premiere..so I’m sorry for dragging you here too..” Hui-Jun toss aside Ji-A falling hair.

They arrive at the parking lot where the premiere show held. Beom-Seok already waiting for them and he rushes to them when he see them.

“Good night doctor Ji-A..” greet Beom-Seok.

“Hi Beom-Seok oppa, how is your eonnie? Is she getting better now??” Ji-A ask about Goh So-Mi.

“She’s doing good now. Thank you to doctor Baek, he really took good care my noona. She is at home now..” said Beom-Seok.

“You should go now... I will be with her and sit in the back row of yours. “ Beom-Seok told Hui-Jun to go first.

Hui-Jun look around and plant a quick kiss at Ji-A lips,

“Meet you there..” he say.

Ji-A blushing receive such a sweet surprise from him.

Ji-A and Beom-Seok now at the same place with Hui-Jun. She can spot Hui-Jun is at the red carpet waving hand to the reporters that busy taking his picture and asking random question wishing him to answer. Hui-Jun look very different, he look stunning even in a jeans, plain soft blue shirt and sneakers. Ji-A very proud to be with him, to be his girlfriend. She can’t take her eyes from Hui-Jun.

“He is going to be more busy next month..” Beom-Seok said.

“Why?” ask Ji-A.

“He has a line up fan meeting in various city in china, he also planning to go to Japan, Malaysia and Indonesia. Australia also in talks for a fan meeting. After that he need to prepare for his next movie and maybe he will stay at Boryeong for few months since the filming will take place in there. Will you be okay?” Beom-Seok ask Ji-A.

“Oppa how is his previous girlfriend?” ask Ji-A.

“Why are you asking me that?” Beom-Seok anticipated on what come out next.

“I’m just curious... is she an actress?” ask Ji-A.

“You should ask that question to him, not to me.” Said Beom-Seok.

Suddenly Ji-A catch something. Seo Min-Soon, Hui-Jun co-player from his latest drama is come and now they’re making a pose together. While most of the fans that attending the premiere now are screaming seeing the two of them together. Ji-A look at that scene and somehow it is not easy for her to not get jealous. Ji-A turn her body,

“Oppa can we sit now?” she ask Beom-Seok.

“That’s good idea, let’s find our seat..” Beom-Seok agree with her.

Ji-A not enjoying the movie at all. She keep staring at Hui-Jun that sit next to Min-Soon and see how they enjoy their conversation. After the movie done Hui-Jun stalled by fangirls whose surrounding him and ask for his signature and picture together. Ji-A can only watch him feeling a little sad seeing that she has to share initimate gesture like that with other girl.

“You really need to be patient and tough being on a dating relationship him..” Beom-Seok catch her mood.

“I know... it seem hard ...” Ji-A smile in agony.

“Oppa, will he lose everything if the media found out that he is dating me? I mean like commercial contract fee that he need to pay back...” Ji-A learn about how a celebrity will deal with when they breach the contract agreement.

“For dating there’s no penalty for that, we don’t have that point. But we try to manage the dating issue not to leak or go public since it’s for your own good too. People will start looking at you, some of them will do judgement too.... Hui-Jun really like you and he really want to protect you. So he hide your relationship, he only share his work with public. Things like family, you and his personal life is private for him. And he like to keep it that way.” Beom-Seok explain.

“Will they pull my hair out if they find out I’m dating him?” said Ji-A

“What?? Who will do that??” Beom-Seok laugh.

“His fans...” reply Ji-A, Beom-Seok laugh to hear that too.

“I sometimes manage to see his news and few forums that having discussion about him. Many of them really ship him to be a real couple with Min-Soon noona, since they look really good together in previous drama. And they really support him on dating a girl. So don’t be nervous or think too far... his age allow him to be dating, you are pretty too if you’re a celebrity too you are equal to be compare with Min-Soon noona, also you are younger than her. So have confidence.... you are way too good for him. He is lucky to have you. He said that to me and Gi-Gwang.” Beom-Seok tap her shoulder.

Ji-A feel a little ease hearing Beom-Seok say that. So she have plus point than Min-Soon noona. But the next view is irritating her and boiling her blood.

A girl lean on Hui-Jun so close when they are taking picture together, at the end she ask for a kiss on her cheek saying that this is her birthday. Ji-A keep looking at them starting to get angry, turn out Hui-Jun plant a peck her on the cheek and hug her. She is happy and jumping,

“Really???!!!!!!!!” Ji-A say in loud voice. Beom-Seok try to hold her hand by saying that it’s only fan service.

But Ji-A doesn’t care at all, she turn back and headed outside. While Hui-Jun see her leaving and panic but he cannot leave the crowd.

Outside the building, Ji-A hurriedly stop a taxi and get in.

“Aiiisshhhh I should pull her hair out!!!!” she is really mad seeing that scene.

She’s texting Hyeon-U and Mi-Yeon on their chat room, she need them right now.

“Where are you?” text Ji-A

Another minutes Hyeon-U reply come first

“I’m having a date why?”

Ji-A become more irritating reading that text.

“YA!! You have to broke up with her or I tell Ji-Yeon eonnie to fire you on Monday..” reply Ji-A

Next is Mi-Yeon reply her text,

“I’m visiting my mom, why?” Mi-Yeon reply show up.

Ji-A sad that her friends are unavailable for her today. She remember one person, and call him

“Oppa, are you at home?” Ji-A ask.

“I’m at the firm.. why?” said Gyeong-Su.

“Let’s go out together, you said you’re free today...” said Ji-A.

“Where are you now?” ask Gyeong-Su.

“I will be at your office in 15 minutes but you should already outside, I don’t want to come in..” said Ji-A.

“Okay, I’ll wait for you outside. Be careful...”said Gyeong-Su.

Hui-Jun call her, but Ji-A choose to ignore him. She really don’t want to deal with him right now. Hui-Jun call again, and again. Ji-A turn off her phone.

“Arrrgghhh she turn off her phone. I should plant a GPS on her head.” Hui-Jun frustated.

“Did she tell you where she’s going?’ ask Hui-Jun.

“She just left... she’s too angry to talk about her next stop” Beom-Seok try to joke.

Hui-Jun cannot stop thinking about Ji-A, he feel so sorry for taking her to this occasion. He should know that things like that would happen and Ji-A still not ready to deal with that. It’s too soon.

“Should we stop at the hospital? I can go around asking for her,” said Beom-Seok.

“She’s not going to be there, it’s her day off. She’s not the type to spend her day off working.” Hui-Jun know Ji-A, “How is So-Mi noona? Is she better now?” ask Hui-Jun.

“She is now. Ji-A older brother is taking her case now. And he is a very good doctor. He give her more attention than her previous doctor. Noona also very comfort with him, so she told him everything about her disease. It’s new. Usually noona always keep it to herself, even she sometimes bailed the treatment because she feel bad the doctor couldn’t cure her. But now she always listen to the new doctor.” Said Beom-Seok.

“Thanks God... I hope she’s getting better .... I always love seeing So-Mi noona happy doing her hobby.” Said Hui-Jun.

When they’re little they always hang around Beom-Seok place. So-Mi sometime bake them a cake. And cake that So-Mi made is delicious. One time Gi-Gwang thrown idea that they should sell the cake that So-Mi made, so So-Mi work all night making the cake to be sell at school. But the next morning they found So-Mi collapsed due to fatigue and excitement make her heart beating too fast.

Ji-A and Gyeong-Su arrive at their favourite restaurant. The chef is famous too and often show at cooking variety show on TV.

“Long time not see both of you..” the chef greet them.

“He’s busy drawing buildings..” Ji-A answer and hug the chef.

“She’s busy dating and get dumped..” said Gyeong-Su shaking the chef hand.

“YA!!!! That’s really not true...” Ji-A upset with Gyeog-Su words.

The men laugh with Ji-A reaction.

“I will make you something delicious, just wait..” the chef then go to his kitchen.

“When is the last time we come here?” ask Ji-A.

“Your birthday...” Gyeong-Su reply.

“Ah right.... we went for udon after this with Jae-Hwan oppa and his date....” Ji-A remember.

“Yeah and that girl was so annoying keep asking Jae-Hwan leaving the udon place...” Gyeong-Su added.

“And Jae-Hwan oppa ask her to leave first and that girl cry... what a terrible birthday...” said Ji-A.

“Where were Hyeon-U and Mi-Yeon at that time? You three always stick together at time like birthday..” Gyeong-Su remember Hyeon-U and Mi-Yeon missing in the picture.

“Hyeon-U was grounded by Jae-Hwan oppa because he did wrong on his task and cannot leave the hospital. Mi-Yeon is having a date and the day after that she found out that her boyfriend had another girlfriend..” said Ji-A.

Gyeong-Su laugh.

“You look different today... you even put make up on your face...were you on a a blind date before?? And that man is really ugly and you runaway?? Am I your back up plan again??” Gyeong-Su find Ji-A look very pretty today.

“That’s not like that. I just feel bored at home and look after you..Hyeon-U and Mi-Yeon cannot be with me..” said Ji-A.

“I am your back up plan” Gyeong-Su pretending to be upset.

“It’s not...don’t make me a bad person..” Ji-A pouting. Gyeong-Su laugh and feed her with his meat.

“Excuse me..” a woman with stunning appearance is standing beside them right now.

“Gyeong-Su shi do you still remember me?” She ask Gyeong-Su and throw a glance at Ji-A for a second.

Ji-A watch both of them curious about the woman.

“Aah...” Gyeong-Su remember this woman, but he forget her name

“Yoon Nabi..we met last month at Shilla.” Said the woman named Yoon Nabi
