Chapter : 1 : Marie, Your Dad ??

" Hello ?? " she said in a sleepy tone .

" Ma- Marie !! " His voice hoarse from all the crying .

" Seokjin-ah?? What happened?? Why are you crying??" She said , now sitting up straight.

" Marie your dad !! " he couldn't say more as he again bursted out cryin' .

"Dad ?? What happened to dad ?? Seokjin-ah say something . " she was losing her patience now .

" Marie your dad was met with an accident and he died right there. "  this was the nth time he is crying like mess but fortunately somehow he managed to speak this much .

A single tear dropped from her eye and just like that it was not only a tear drop but a river of tears . He was also crying listening to the silence on the other side of the phone . She was a person who make other people cry but here she was sobbing silently .

" Marie " Jin said controlling his sobs .

" hmm " her words were stuck as if she didn't knew how to speak.

" You will come to Korea right ?? For me !! For your dad !! "

"  You mean for the funeral huh ?? " she can feel him nodding. " I will come "

" promise me you won't leave after that . "

" Seokjin-ah"

"I know you can't promise me that ."

" I can promise that I will never leave but I can't promise that I will not break this promise . " she said feeling guilty to leave him alone there . His dad never cared about him much , Marie and her dad are the only people he ever wanted in his life . Her dad left him as well as her . And now both are alone and apart . The night was tragic . Both didn't want to cut the call even when they don't speak a word as if their silence was their comfort.

                          _⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠__

It was 9 in the morning ,Marie was waiting there for her private jet to arrive . Alot was on her mind , she took a deep breath . She wanted to exhale all her memories and wanted to live a new life . She wanted to live a peaceful life but God have some other plans . Soon her thoughts were interrupted by the loud sound of moving fan of a helicopter.

                           _⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_

Seokjin was arranging everything. He was hurt just like Marie . His father always wanted his work over family . He wanted his mother's love but she died when he was just two years old and he doesn't even know what was the cause of her death . Whenever he used to ask his dad about his mom , either his father scold him to not talk about her or he say that someone wanted to come in this life and that person killed his mom to take her life. Seokjin couldn't understand anything his dad told him but he just nod at everything his dad says . He got parent love from Marie's parents, Mr & Mrs Song . They loved and cared about him as their own child . But unfortunately Marie's mother died in a car accident when he was 12 and Marie was 10 . He remembered how Marie never wanted to leave seokjin . She even insisted on sleeping with him . But one day she decided to leave him , it's not like she wanted to leave him but she wanted to complete her studies in abroad. On the airport they were crying like babies , hugging each other as tight as they can.

He was smiling while thinking about the times he spent with Marie to reduce the pain of losing someone . He was smiling but tears were also flowing from his eyes as he stood in front of a tall building. He walked towards the main gate trying as hard as he could to not break down again as he read the nameplate shining in the bright sunlight, ' song Minsuk ' , he harshly wiped his tears with his sleeves opening the door with a spare keys he had .

He took slow steps admiring the house he lived in more than his own . Everything was same but the fact that he was alone here hurted him the most . His thoughts were interrupted by a phone call , he cleared his throat before picking up the call .

(On the call)

" Hello "

" Seokjin were the hell are you ? You were supposed to be in the office completing the work I gave you ! " his dad shouted from the other side.

" Dad you don't know ??" He said in a calm tone .

" what ??"

"Today's uncle Minsuk's funeral . " His voice was getting weak with each word .

" I know , you already told me that . And I will be there don't worry about it but I need that work Seokjin , there's an important meeting in ten minutes . "

"Huh you don't care , do you ? " he said chuckling this time .

" what " his dad said in a confusing tone .

" You don't care . You don't care about me , you don't care about your brother . You didn't cared about your family . You only love your work , why don't you leave me alone when you can't love or care about me . I said that today's uncle Minsuk's funeral but you want your work you are worried about that damn meeting . " he was panting , first time in his life he yelled at his father and it would be a lie if he said that it doesn't feel good .

"Listen I can't leave you coz I want someone to keep my company after I die and you are that someone because you are my son and talking about my brother , he didn't got much longer life I know and I am not in fault , ok . And see who will be the next hire of Minsuk's company? It's Me !! I can guarantee you that he didn't named his company to his stupid daughter. " his dad smirked even though he knows nobody can see him.

" She isn't stupid " he yelled .

" Yes she isn't stupid , she is a bitch . You know she is the cause of someone's death ."

" Death ?? H-How ?? S-She isn't the cause of someone's death . " he said stuttering a bit .

" You don't know anything child but you'll know when the timing's right . Btw thank you for the work my assistant just gave me this , you would have told me earlier that you already did the work and it's in your cabin , you took my precious ten minutes in something stupid . " By that said his father hung the call . Seokjin was still confused by his father's word . He never believed his father in anything but why is he thinking this hard onto something which can be a clear lie or his father's another prank to keep his mind working . He shrugged his shoulder as he stepped out the house to do some arrangements for the funeral.

                                _⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_

Seokjin's dad who is the ceo of a best fashion brand 'Young Youth' was not so fond of his brother . He is now in the meeting room making a deal for his new project .

" Deal "

He smiled ear to ear hearing the word he wanted to .

"Mr kang ." He called for his assistant after the meeting was dismissed.

" Yes sir ."

"What's next in schedule . Just tell me the important once rest shift to another day . There's a funeral I need to attend ." He said loosing his tie.

"Amm sir you need to check this list of raw materials that we need for this project. And there's two more meeting to attend which is important and then we need to go to the factory to check up if the outfits are ready to be transferred to market . " he said .

" Tell someone to go to factory and check everything and bring the list of raw materials with total amount, GST amount and all other information. Talking about meetings what are these meetings about ??. "

"First meeting which is in one hour is about a collaboration with a random company . "

" we are not accepting any other collaboration for now . Cancel the meeting and tell them through an email about not accepting their proposal . Next ??"

"The second one which is in one and a half hour is about the ' Y&S Mall ' project. "

" Are they ready to give us the land . ?? "

" I don't know sir , they said they will clear everything in the meeting."

" Okay then I will attend that meeting. "

" okay sir then I will bring the list here . "

" Yes please ." By that said his assistant left from there . He was rolling in his chair .

" I didn't thought you will die this soon my brother but it's actually good for me now I will rule the entire fashion industry with yours and mine company. " he said to himself smirking thinking about what he has to do next .
