The light shined through the open curtains in Jun Pyo's room. His eyes slowly fluttered as he stared out into the abyss that was his dwelling. Hands running through his hair, he slowly shook himself awake. With a shake of his head, he slid out of the satin sheets and threw on a pair of boxers. Looking down he sighed as he noticed the empty bed behind him. Once more, Jun pyo awoke alone. To only himself. A Knock was heard at his bedroom door, as his big sister came strutting in.

"Nuna. What do I owe the pleasure?" He grumbled as he grabbed the bathrobe hanging off of one his chairs.

"I am not going." She steamed as she sat in defiance.

"This couldn't wait till I got to the office?"

"No. It can not. I refuse to leave again, for how many months?"

"Four." He said as he went to his closet.

"You can not be serious. I just got back."

"And, I can't leave. Besides your English is better than mine." Jun Pyo replied back with a smirk.

"Why can't mother go?"

"Because Father just started getting better, and they are heading to the country for about 6 months, maybe longer...Hopefully."

"Mother in the country. I would pay to see that."

"As long as I don't have to be there in actual person." Jun Pyo said, throwing a blue suit on the bed. "Now, you have to go, because we need that new hotel opening in London."

"Why?" She asked.

"Because it's the next step to get the Hotel in New York City, and you're the only one I trust." He answered, honestly.

"That must have been hard to say." She said after a pause. A smirk forming on her lips.

"Very." Jun Pyo grumbled in reply.

"Fine. But only because you're such a sweet talker. And I get fifty percent of the share of the hotel in Munchen."

"Deal." Jun Pyo slid into his pants as he kept his back towards his sister. Taking off the rob, he replaced it with his dress shirt and jacket. Turning he looked at his sister with a sad smile.

"You look good Baby brother. I'll think she'll like it."

"Nuna!" He yelled as he put on his black dress shoes.

"What? Everyone knows who you get dressed for."

"She's my Secretary nothing more."

"She's also your friend. The first girl even allowed into the protection of the famous Shinhwa's F4. A friend that you have been crushing on since than."

"I have not."

"You went to the same college as her, when you could have gone to a different college all together."

"The guys also went to that college as well."

"But you chose to go there and only after you found out, she was going. They followed you." Jun Pyo started to work on his tie, but his older sister came up and began to tie it for him.

"Jun Pyo, please, I wish you would just ask her. You two already act like a married couple."

Ga Eul, rolled over in her bed. Her body hitting another warm one. Opening her eyes she looked at a snoring Jan Di. Sitting up, she looked to her other side and say a snoring Jae Kyung.

"Yeah!" She yelled, as both woke up, Jan Di falling off the bed as Jae Kyung sat up, straight.

"Ga Eul! What the hell was that for?" Jan Di asked as she stood up, rubbing her back.

"What are you two doing in my bed?"

"I had a bad dream." Jan Di, said, as she sat back down on the bed.

"I saw Jan Di, sleeping with you, and I wanted to join the party." Jae Kyung. Ga Eul, groaned as she fell back on to the mattress.

"Hey, don't you two have to be at the hotel by 8:00 today?" Jae Kyung asked, as she grabbed the clock on the night stand.

"Yeah, why?"

"It's 7:15, you guys are going to be late."

"What?" Both yelled in unison, as they both bolted off the bed, and began to run to clothes. Jan Di, muttering as she went, while Ga Eul quickly started to throw on, fresh makeup on. Jae Kyung let out a loud laugh as she shuffled deeper into the blankets.

Pulling up to the front of his Hotel, Jun pyo exited, handing the keys to a valet. Jan Di was standing front and center, in a light blue work dress. He noted how the bracelet of a moon and star, that he had gotten for her, for her birthday sat nicely on her wrist.

"Good morning, sir." Jan Di said with a slight bow.

"Morning. Is Ga Eul in yet?" He asked as he made his way through the lobby. Jan Di following behind, typing away on a tablet.

"Yes sir."

"Good tell her, to meet me in the office in a half hour, Yi Jung will be here soon. He is going to make sure everything is setup for tonight, is to his liking." He said, entering the elevator. Jan Di got in as well, and pressed the top level button. Texting away, Jun Pyo reached over and took her phone, hitting the stop button on the elevator.

"Hey!" She yelled as Jun Pyo held it above her head. Being nearly six feet tall, had perks sometimes.

"You didn't call last night."

"I didn't know I was supposed to." She said, glaring at him.

"Every night you call to give me the latest stock values from the Western Franchises, but you didn't-"

"The manager called you. I had other issues to attend last night."

"Like what?"

"Jae Kyung had a fight with Woo Bin again, so I had to calm her down, Ga Eul, was stressing over the charity fundraiser, and I was struggling with handling both of their breakdowns at the same time, so I'm sorry. Now. May I have please, have my phone, Jun Pyo." Handing her the phone, he pressed the start button on the elevator.

"You still could have taken a couple minutes to call." Giving him a punch on his arm, he smiled as the elevator opened to his top floor office. Walking into his office door, he saw Ji Hoo already sitting on his couch.

"It's eight in the morning, I didn't expect you to be here so soon."

"Ji Hoo has a plane to catch, or did you forget?" Jan Di said with a new folder in her hand. "I need you to sign this before Yi Jung gets here."

"Why?"

"Because you're probably going to get in a fight with him and I don't want to deal with you after."

"Hey!"

"I hate to interrupt one of mom and dad's mini fight's...Again, but I brought the wine that Yi Jung requested." Ji Hoo said, extending the bottle.

"Why must you call us that." Jan Di said slamming the folder into Jun Pyo's arms. She left with a wave goodbye to Ji Hoo.

"So where are you going again?" Jun Pyo asked, taking the bottle from Ji Hoo. He walked over to his desk. Putting the folder on the table and wrote a quick posted it note on the bottle to be sent down to the kitchen for delivery later.

"To Manhattan. Finalizing on the apartment from across where you're putting your hotel."

"You could have just sent someone over to give me the bottle."

"I know, but I also wanted to know what you would like me to bring back, so you could give it Jan Di as a present in order to win her heart over once and for all. Because between the fights and the gooey eyes, you two are already married."

"Have you been talking with my sister?"

"Maybe."

Yi Jung pulled up to the hotel. Looking at his phone, he noticed he was 25 minutes early. Early was never his style, but he thought he was running late before he left. Sleeping in his studio was exhausting. He only had just finished the last pot on for the show tonight, and he had to stay up most of the night to make sure it wasn't ruined in the kiln.

With a sigh, he got out of his car and walked into the front doors of the hotel to see a red cheeked Jan Di. Smiling he almost started to walk towards her when he saw her. Her light pink suit jacket hung off her body perfectly, while the simple white dress underneath made her skin glow. She smiled at her friend who was breathing heavily.

"Jan Di, please stop running, you'll give yourself a heart attack." Her voice rang through his ears as he tried to convince himself reasons as to why he shouldn't go over and embrace her.

"That man." Jan Di said in a huff. "Yi Jung should be here soon, so, you should head up with me."

"I still have some stuff to organize before I show Yi Jung the hall for his showing. Not to mention, his pottery should be in soon, and I need to make sure that they don't destroy anything." Grabbing her wrist Jan Di looked her best friend straight in the eyes.

"You need to come with me, or I'm going to smack that man for making me run to the kitchen over a bottle of wine." Jan Di said with a deadly look in her eyes.

"But-"

"Ga Eul, you're doing great. The hall looks amazing. He's going to love it." Turning towards the elevator, Yi Jung thought this was his perfect time to show himself. As the elevator doors opened, he quickly ran over, asking them to hold it.

"Yi Jung!" Jan Di yelled, in bewilderment. "When did you get here?" She asked, seemingly subconsciously putting herself in between Ga Eul and Yi Jung.

"Not to long ago. Hello Ga Eul."

"Hello, Yi Jung-ssi." Turning to face the door. He tried to ignore the way her eyes gave off a sad look. Even though he knew he was the reason.

"Look, you didn't sign the damn papers! I am not letting you move onto your next meeting until you sign the damn papers."

"But then you don't have a reason to come in for a while."

"Jun Pyo! Do you want open the new hotel in New York or not?"

"Yes."

"Than sign the damn papers."

"Will you have lunch with me?"

"Gu Jun Pyo, you sign these god damn papers." Taking her hand in his he smiled at her.

"I will if you have lunch with me."

"Jun pyo." She said with less aggression. Looking at his hand on top of hers. "Jun Pyo...please just...sign the papers." She said with a sad smile coming across her face. "You have lunch date today with Ms. Oh Min-Ji, the daughter of OH-Instruments Inc, Ceo." Slowly pulling his hand away, he looked at her defeated eyes. Another mention of his mother's attempted at a business deal.

"Why with her?" He asked, as he quickly looked at the documents in the folder, signing away."

"She's your date for Yi Jung's show tonight. You're mother had me schedule it in three weeks ago."

"Oh." He said, handing her the folder. Holding on to his edge she looked up at him. "I don't want to go though." He said. His words sounded like a child speaking, but his tone was trying to tell her something else. A knock sounded on his office door, as Yi Jung walked in with a smiling Ga Eul. Letting go of the folder completely, Jun Pyo sighed as Jan Di walked over to the door.

"Come in, we should have started 10 minutes ago. Sorry for the delay." Jun pyo said as he watched Jan Di leave his office. Closing the door behind her.

"So as you can see, the tea sets are mixed in between the vases as well as the few dishes you also are putting on the market. The empty place in the middle is where your last pot is going to go as well. I'm making sure their taking their time in putting your pieces in carefully." Ga Eul explained, pointing out the area. "As you may also notice, because it's not only a silent auction, but a dinner as well, the tables are set up with each guest accordingly."

"Where will-" Yi Jung went to ask but was cut off.

"You will be sitting in the middle table, with Jun Pyo, his date, Jan Di as well as Woo Bin, his date and your date." Ga Eul said with a smile.

"Where will you be sitting?" Ga Eul paused as she was marking down the inventory.

"I won't be sitting anywhere." She turned to look at him with a small smile. "I won't have time. I have to make sure the kitchen is all set and also that no one steals anything, as well as taking care of the silent auctions sales."

"Don't you have people doing that?"

"Yes, But I need to-"

"No you don't." Both stared away from one another as Yi Jung smiled again. "Look, it's my showing, and I don't have a date for tonight. I was wondering if you would be my date?"

"A date?"

"Well no. Just a friend. I just don't want to bring a model I usually go with. It's kind of a big deal. Its my first auction in Korea since my showing in London." He asked with sincere eyes. After a few moments of silence. Ga Eul nodded her head.

"Is that a yes?"

"Yes. Just, I won't be as pretty as your usual dates."

"That's a given." Yi Jung said as a joke, but looking at the small smile and the sad look in her eyes, he didn't think she took it that way.
