Embarrassing dark past.

The inner walls of the hidden room revealed three portraits that all had Yo-Han's signature. Min Ju-Eun didn't need to check twice before recognizing the faces in the portraits.

Three portraits of different sizes are aligned across the wall of the room with the largest one at the middle.

The biggest portrait was the painting of his father, I mean uncle, Park Mit-Eum. The other one which had the medium size was the portrait of Choi Dan-Bi that he made just before she left for the west.

Min Ju-Eun frowned when she saw that the smallest frame had her painting. Envy surged through her and she gave a childish pout. If the sizes of the frames meant how much space the person holds in his heart dose it mean she is the least. "What an unfilial son!." She huffed in contempt.

She took a second glance at the arrangement and she realized that to think of the arrangement seriously, Yo-han had really made a mistake unknowingly. If the arrangement truely meant what she thought, then Dan-bi's portrait ought to be the largest. She approached the inner room and carefully swapped the position of the portraits and place Dan-Bi's at the middle were Mit-Eum's was. 'This unfilial son has to value his woman more than anything or else Dan-bi will suffer at last.'

She wiped the speck of dust on her palm away as she left the room. She picked her bag and adjusted the merry-go-round and the door closed behind her.

As she strode off the office, her mind flashed back to about a decade ago as her mind could not get off the image of Park Mit-Eum that she saw just now. It was as if she remembered something embarrassing.

Just few years before Mit-Eum's death, precisely when Yo-han clocked six, she had gotten so keen to Park Mit-Eum that she started lusting after him. She had tried to seduce him several times but he was very much composed and he turned her down everytime.

She was only human, she had only tasted a man few times before he asked her to marry him and she longed for that satisfaction a lot. But the more Park Mit-Eum rejected her, the more her heart inclined to him. She began to long for him and his handsome face, a trait from old madam Kim who doted on her and loved her like her own daughter made Ju-Eun want him so much.

He was considerate enough to understand her. He knew that she was only being humane, who in the prime of their age last six years without a man's touch?, so he didn't distance himself from her nor neglected her, but he made himself clear that he wouldn't do such a thing because she is the mother of his nephew.

Until about four years ago when she realized that the company she works at had been sold off to the man she truly loved, she still used to mistake her feelings for Mit-Eum as love. It was until Kim Hyun-Jun refreshed in her memory did she really realise that she didn't truly loved Mit-Eum.

She only wanted him to satisfy her carnal need, even during the times that she knew he was with Choi Min-Ji. But he was truly faithful and if not because of Hyun-Jun interference in the assassination, Min-Ji would have been the luckiest bride ever.

Thinking back, her face flushed in embarrassment as she recollected how she had really done some embarrassing things in the past.

The bottom line of her thoughts was that, everyone has a dark past, include you and I.

Yo-han and Ms Bae arrived at the restaurant which seemed to odd to be a meeting place with a client. It wasn't the least suitable for the rich men but only average people and commoners would patronize such a place. Well since Yo-Han doesn't really care about those difference, a trait he got from spending time with Dan-Bi who didn't care about her class that much, he would eat anywhere provided that they have a good service.

He remembered that Kim Myung-Hee has the same habit. 'Hoho, it turns out that she is his half sister after all and they have the same blood flowing in their veins. No wonder he could relate with her. She must have sensed that too and instinctively liked him as a brother. Something impossible for other ladies. 'So tiring!.' he says anytime he thinks of how his face attracts them against his will.

Ms Bae sat uncomfortable after she realized that Yo-Han hadn't brought her for a meeting rather he had brought her to dine, just the two of them.

After placing their order, Yo-han finally spoke to ease her curiosity and make her less uncomfortable. "Ms Bae, I won't beat about the bush, I brought you here for a personal reason. Right now, I am not your boss but an acquaintance."

"Hmm" the lady said and waited for him to continue. Her heart was racing wild because she was scared he would say something she doesn't want to hear. 'Even though I find you extraordinarily charming and stunning, I have no wish to be with you, I like Mr Sung, I like Mr Sung's smiling face and his cheerfulness, I like Mr Sung not you, I don't fit to be with you and I won't say yes if you ask me out'. She screamed in her head.

"I want to mend a heart and I need your help." Yo-han said and just then the waiter brought the food.

Ms Bae wished the land could open up and swallow her whole. She didn't want to believe that after suffering from heart break, this boss of hers wanted to use her just to mend his broke heart. But she is in love with someone else. How can she just reject him courteously without tampering with his anger?. 'God save me now, I promise to go to church from now on.' she prayed in her heart. Mistaking Yo-Han's words. She thought it was his own heart he was talking about.

A lady froze in her steps as she saw Yo-han and Ms Bae through the transparent wall of the restaurant. She became very infuriated when she saw this man that never accepted any of her advances having dinner with his pretentious secretary.

She scoffed at the scene, and she walked away angrily. "He is always playing innocent, who knows that he is really a fox. He had had enough of Dan-bi now it's this secretary but he never even spared me a glance."

Yeo-Na stopped in her track, looked back into the restaurant and a wicked grin formed on her face, she immediately paced backwards and took a few pictures with her cell phone. Immediately after verifying how clear and precise the pictures are, she choose one with Ms Bae's facial expression bright as the day which depicted how glad the fellow is. Her smile in the picture was different from her usual professional smile and even her eyes were smiling and it was the perfect picture to taunt Dan-bi with. Yeo-Na sent those pictures to Dan-Bi immediately and added a sly caption. "He will never be your man.

"

The moment she turned around to walk away, a man in black appeared in front of her and extended his hands. "Give it to me." He said in a commanding manner.
