Ga Eul packed her important belongings and some money. She dressed herself up quickly. She's going back to Seoul in the hopes of winning Yi Jung back. As she closes the door and locked it, a figure from behind grabbed her and covered her mouth. She tried to fight back as much as she could but it won't budge. Slowly, her vision became blurry and she succumbs to a deep sleep.

It was 9:00 pm when Yi Jung arrived at the So estate. He parked his Orange Lotus and head towards his mother's study.

'Bang!' The door closed loudly and Madam So turned towards his direction with a surprise look.

"Yi Jung! What a perfect timing!" The older woman headed towards his side and was about to give him a hug but the latter turned her down. Madam So looked surprised but chose to ignore it. "Like what I was saying, I already gave invitation to our relatives for your-"

"I'm calling it off."

Madam So looked back in disbelief. She chuckled, "Yi Jung! This is no time for jokes! It's not yet April Fools. Anyway, I've also given invitations to Hae Ra's-"

"I'm not joking." His tone was dead serious. His eyes and voice was full of conviction. "I just realize… no, I know from the start that no matter how many days or years you'll give me, I won't come to love Hae Ra. Not when I love someone." Yi Jung paused before continuing.

"Whatever you do is useless because you can't control the feeling that is in me. So whether you like it or not, whether you disown me or not, I'm not going to push through the wedding. I'm not marrying Hae Ra." He said with a smile. Everything feels light and warm. He didn't regret one thing he just said.

Madam So chuckled in disbelief. "So Yi Jung, do not test my patience. You are marrying Hae Ra! You have no right-"

"Who said he has no right?" The two looked back and froze. He was standing by the doors with a wooden cane in his hands. Former president of all So museums, father in law of Madam so and grandfather of Ii Hyun and Yi Jung, it was none other than So Jin-Pyo.

"Abeoji!" "Harabeoji!" The two greeted in unison. Their eyes still widen. The older man went slowly towards their side. Madam So tried to hug him but the latter turned her down.

"What are you up to Hee Ju?" his tone was serious and monotonous. The atmosphere is so tensed and the pressure is really heavy. Just the two inside a room meant one thing: trouble.

"We were just talking about his wedding-"

"HIS?" the two looked back at him. Something tells them he knew all along.

"Abeoji.. I was-"

"I KNOW WHAT YOU'VE BEEN DOING!" The older woman shuddered as the older man raised his voice. There was a short a silence before the latter continued. This time, his tone was calm. "I know my son has hurt you before but this isn't a good reason enough for you to hurt your own sons. What they need is a mother… Not a dictator"

Hee Ju remained quiet as she ponders the words he told her. His words sting inside her heart.

"I've given them back to you because you told me that you need them. That you want to change and that they are the only reason you live. That was my mistake." Fresh tears started to fell on the older woman's face. "... Had I known what you've done to Ii Hyun before, I would have made a move… but I was too late. This time, I won't let Yi Jung have the same path as Ii Hyun."

Yi Jung was still frozen. He couldn't believe that it was his grandfather. Yes, it's true that he and his brother grew up in his grandfather's area. And although he was strict when it comes to teaching them about art, he couldn't erase the fact that there were times when he showed he cared for them like that one time when he would read to them stories or give them tours around the museum. To Yi Jung and Ii Hyun, their grandfather stood as their fatherly figure.

"I'm really disappointed in you Hee Ju. You may have done a great job in running the museum but… what is success when your family is a failure? Your sons have already gone through so much... but you… their own mother doing it to them… I can't believe it…" The older man turned his gaze on Yi Jung who was still surprised. "Yi Jung… from this moment on, you'll live with me. Now, come"

Yi Jung followed his grandfather's order and went out, leaving a guilty and weeping Hee Ju. As they were out of the room, he exhaled deeply, relieve that everything is over. He turned towards his grandfather and asked,

"Harabeoji…How did you know?" His grandfather just smiled at him. "Thank you, grandfather..."

"Don't thank me... Thank your brother… It was he who told me about everything."

Yi Jung smiled in disbelief. In the end, it was his brother who would still save him.

"Where is he?"

The older man watched his clock. "He should be at the airport by now. He is leaving back to Italy tonight. Says he has a lover waiting back. His flight would be on 10:30 pm."

Yi Jung eyed his clock. It was 9:55 pm already. He immediately sighed. He could still catch him but he couldn't just leave his grandfather. The older man saw his reaction.

"Go…" Yi Jung smiled at him and bowed in courtesy. He hurriedly went outside but then his grandfather called him back. He turned around and blush at what the older man said.

"By the way Yi Jung… Don't forget to introduce her to me, okay?!"

"Of course."

"Calling all passenger of Flight 180 to Italy, we will be boarding in 15 minutes. Please head to Gate 4 now."

Ii Hyun took one last look of his surrounding before gathering his belonging. He was about to head towards the gate when a familiar voice called him.

"HYUNG!" He turned back and a sight he didn't expect happened. It was Yi Jung running toward his direction. The former panted and breathe heavily as he reaches his side.

"You... you're leaving without saying goodbye?"

Ii Hyun smiled at him. "Goodbyes mean never seeing again… and never seeing again means forgetting them. That why I won't say goodbye." Yi Jung hugged his brother. His face buried in his shoulder as small tears fall from his eyes.

"Thank you hyung…"

"What are you thanking me for? I didn't do anything!" He said as he comforts him. "By the way… remember to invite me in your wedding okay?"

Yi Jung blushed at his statement. "HYUNG!" the latter just chuckled.

"HYUUUNG!" Ii Hyun watched in disbelief as more people head towards his direction. Ji Hoo, Jae Kyung, Woo Bin, Jan Di and Jun Pyo are all running towards him.

Jan Di and Jae Kyung embraced him as teardrops fell from their face. "You are leaving without even telling us?!"

"Hey…. Shhhss now…" Ii Hyun comforted as he kiss their head, something like what an older brother do to their little sister. Slowly, he lifts their heads. "Now now, don't cry… You look more beautiful when you two smile. Stay pretty and beautiful okay? And always remember to smile. Watch over those rascals for me okay?" The two nodded in agreement.

Ii Hyun turned towards Jun Pyo. Even though the latter was on a business meeting, he immediately left as he heard of his flight.

"Ahh.. Jun Pyo! Take care of Jan Di okay?! Don't bury yourself too much in work you got that? Oh and…" He went over his ears and whispered, "…I'm expecting a mini Jun Pyo when I get back."

The F3 heard this and burst out in laughter. Jun Pyo became red as tomato when he heard it. "HYUNNG!?"

Then he turned towards Woo Bin. "Thank You for always watching my brother when I'm not around… also…" He whispered into his ears, "When is the wedding date?"

The F2 heard this and again burst out in laughter. The two young ladies curiously watch the two guys who were now red as tomatoes. Ii Hyun then went to Ji hoo and gave him a hug. "Thank you Ji hoo… for being the backbone of everyone. Thank you also for giving my younger brother advices when I wasn't around."

Ji Hoo smiled back at him. "By the way Hyung… do me a favor."

"Sure what is it?"

"Send my regards to Seo-Hyun."

"Sure."

"Calling all passenger of Flight 180 to Italy, we will be boarding in 5 minutes. Please head to Gate 4 now."

"Okay guys… I gotta go… See you soon!" He waved and they waved back. Slowly, everyone left till it was only Yi Jung there. The group thought it was best to leave him alone for a moment. He was just smiling at the disappearing figure.

Reality brought him back when Yi Jung's phone vibrated. It was a call from an unknown number so he decided to ignore it. After the call was a message. Inserted in it was a picture.

A picture that took his breath. A picture that made him pale. A picture that frightened him. A picture of an unconscious Ga Eul tied to a chair.

With it is a message:

"Meet me at the RR abandoned warehouse tonight at midnight. Don't you dare bring anyone.

-Hae ra."
