Piano

Ji-Hoon:)

I was pissed off by holding such bullshit done by mother in the discussion, her assistant was guided accordingly and just because of that nonsense we gotta lose a substantial business deal, even though her boozer state wasn't throughout but her assistant never forgot to accomplish her job.

Thinking over the happenings, I clambered inside the car, just as I got in, dad's call hindered me to drive off from the company.

"Hey, dad? How are you doing?" I asked after inhaling a deep breath. In addition, waiting for his response.

"Hey, I'm good. How's it going? Business Deal with Mr Jong Soo. Did you get it or not?"

No, shit I didn't want him to know, shaking my head not to bother up with this but 'where does he come to know about this?' this sudden phrase I let out.

"Who told you? About the deal?"

"Ahh, Shik helped me to know about the current conditions there and I guess I will be back there within a couple of days. Tell me now," his words contained some harsh tone, might be he knew but wanted to know by me.

"Umm..no we couldn't get it because...." pause for a few seconds, gave me a thought over informing him about mom's deed or keep it under.

"Speak up?"

"....Mom's assistant did something offensive, and I can't say whether she told her or she did it intentionally," I spilt about the incidents but didn't divulge the whole happening out in words.

"Alright, I will talk with Jong Soo, you don't worry and don't let her know about me talking with Jong Soo otherwise you can surmise her actions," I thoroughly understood his point of view and end up the call with just a single word "Alright."

And drove off for the house.

At home:

As my steps attained tighter to the dining area, Jin-Ae's voice plummeted in my way, she said something about, having a confrontation with mom and she did instruct Ari to retain it undercover from me, which made me challenge myself.

I remember whenever she fetched any probability she boosted to avoid any controversies between me and her(mom).

Realising the reality, I backed off from my thoughts and dared to inquire her about her sayings over mom and the whole incident, although I recognized that she would never want me to indulge in any kind of happening with mom.

"What are you talking about?" my utterances made both of them squirm 360° and encounter my distress figure.

I remembered Jin-Ae expressions of concussion while mumbling something which I couldn't get a connotation of.

Progressing further towards them, I kept my possession on the nearby couch and pertained my sight with hers.

"Ah, it's nothing we were just talking about old arguments with mom, you don't worry brother," she lied, clearly white lies I knew her better than anyone out there in the whole world.

Shutting my eyes because I couldn't tolerate her lies now, I wanted her to come and share her sufferings but the more I want her to open up, the more she became distant and camouflage those enigmas undercover, which never made sense to me.

"Oh please Jin-Ae, tell me the truth, you know that you are lying," making it straight for her, I said.

Sensing her hesitation, I shifted my gaze towards Ari, who was facing me for the whole time.

"Brother, don't get me wrong but I didn't wish to see you worried over me," but soon gaze turned to face her, as her words dropped down from her mouth.

"Huh?"

My eyes softened a bit, as Jin-Ae felt on edge of break down into sheds. Instantly I pulled her into my arms, which she returned soon by holding me tightly.

Softly stroking her hair, I mumbled," I know that but from when you jumped suppressing things from me," she shook her head against.

And looked into my eyes, "I'm sorry but you are already busy with business in the absence of papa so I didn't bother to complain about it," she confessed.

"Don't ever do that, you are the only person I care for so never..," she nodded and again hugged me tightly.

"Alright, Let's have dinner."

And we went back to the food while conserving about random things.

Jin-Ae:)

Back to my room, scrolling through my phone watching some random videos on YouTube when someone's messages popped up, which amassed my attention. It was an unknown number.

It was some kind of video, soon I opened it and went through the same.

"Who is he?" I mumbled, going through a video of a man singing a song on the piano and his face didn't confront the camera which caused an urge to see him, the music was so good to my ears.

And without showing his face, the video met an end, finished, was that all?

No, I expected to see him, he sang so well. But felt bad luck for not confronting him.

Reality pulled me off, and I typed a message that preferred to know who was this person.

"Who's here?"

"And why did you send this video?"

Waiting for minutes had enough with my patience and there was still no riposte from the other side.

"Maybe got wrong," I affirmed and kept the phone aside, ready to visit dreamland with him, my love, my everything.

Remembering about him made me amazed with the coming thoughts in my head.

"Is he alright there?"

"Is he taking good care of himself?" I didn't know that whether he had someone around to take care of him, because he wasn't the type to look after himself.

"I want to know but how?" this painful utterance backed off me from imaginary thoughts.

Not further thoughts, I closed my eyes and soon fell into a good sleep.

Justin:)

"Well done my hottie," I appreciated his skills, his voice was really needed praise, he snickered after believing my words and backed off from the piano.

Before a few hours ago I held a battle with him, but he knew that how to make it up for me so when I laid down on bed wanting to sleep, then a couple of minutes passed when he left my room.

Soon the sound of the piano playing drew me away from sleeping. And hurriedly went out to see him playing the piano.

"Are you serious?" I said, feeling the happiest person right then. Because I knew he played it for me while thinking of someone else.

And an idea popped up in my head, I texted Min to forward me the contact number of Jin-Ae, and soon after she did.

Opening my camera, I captured a video of a few seconds. In the whole video, I didn't see his face, nor dared to show mine, just him singing while playing the piano.

In addition, I sent her the video, she would be confused over the unknown contact but might be she would recognise it's him, her love.

But her replies stunned me, asking me about the reason why sent him and inquiring about my identity.

I didn't answer her messages because I don't wish her to have any clue about him and me, I needed to respect his decisions too.

"Ah I understand, you would be thinking about her while doing this, I wish I could make her see this sight," I pulled my words just to catch his reactions.

He chuckled at first,

"Dare to, and I won't hesitate to break your bone," he said while laughing so I took his warning lightly, might be he wanted this but due to some issues, he wouldn't want this to happen.

"Alright, I won't," I faked it.

"Are you still angry with me?" he asked while eyeing me with guilt in his eyes.

"Ah, how can I hold it for long you know?" I giggled while hugging me from the side.

"Okay, I'm gonna go to bed now, good night," I nodded, he instantly walked inside his room.

I yawned and did the same as him, going to bed.

"Babe, how are you?" Min's text lit up my whole mood, her text was like the cherry on the cake.

"I'm good, you?"

"I am good too, but why do you need her number?" her question made sense.

"I only wanted her to see him, but I made sure not to disclose something that Sung-Ho asked me, don't worry."

"I know that but did you tell her anything about yourself or not, or about him?"

"No, didn't yet,"

"Good, and if you did and tell her about his whereabouts then I can say she won't think twice about reaching him there," we both let loose some giggles.

"That would be good I guess but....," I was interrupted by her warning about her mother.

"No, you don't her mom, she is evil in her love story," her tone held seriousness while I tried to understand her while nodding to myself.

"I got it, don't worry," I whispered.

"Alright, get some sleep, bye babe,"

"Bye, love you."
