Kim Taehyung's POV

Why did I feel sad about her leaving? I should be happy. I kept saying to myself that I was happy, but deep inside, I felt like a part of me was gone. Seeing her everyday gave me satisfaction but now when she is gone, I had the urge to stop her and hug her tight. I had no idea what was wrong with me. I wanted to know why my feelings for her was still alive even after the hatred I had for her.

Ever since then, I stopped going to college and decided to work for my dad's company. I took small steps to get familiar with my work, so I started as an intern like any other worker.

I worked over time and did my best in all projects. After my hard work, big projects got successfully completed and I slowly got promoted. As years passed by, the business got more successful and I got the ownership of the company. Abeoji got retired and I was the one who took all responsibilities of the business. Abeoji's trust gave me more confidence and I worked harder. In no time, the company was one of the most profitable ones in South Korea.

I started drinking alcohol and going to pubs whenever I was free. I did everything to distract myself from the thoughts of Eun.

Eun Jung's POV

I finished my studies and was currently working under a big business in Australia. It's been 5 years since I left Korea. I've turned 23.

I had become a famous fashion designer. My high qualified certificates were very helpful for me to find good quality jobs. As a fashion designer, I got a lot of fame because of my taste in outfits. People appreciated my work and the business was getting great amount of profit due to the unstoppable demand for my designed outfits. My boss was very pleased to have me in the business so he increased my salary as a reward. I now got $30,000 each month.

My boss gave me the responsibility of a new business that he wanted to set up in South Korea. He trusted me as his own daughter. I found it as a great opportunity to meet my family so I agreed to it.

After a couple of months, I was ready to go back to my home town. I was the head of the business that my boss set up in Korea, so I had alot of responsibilities.

After coming back to Korea, I went to the apartment where my parents lived to give them a surprise. Ofcourse I was in touch with them. Every day I would call them and tell them how the day went but this time, I didn't inform them about anything that was related to coming back to Korea. I was very nervous as this was the first time seeing them face to face after 5 years. As I was on the door step, I took a deep breath before ringing the door bell.

A few minutes later, a female figure opened the door. My eyes got teary so did hers. In front of me was my Eomma being speechless after seeing me. She quickly pulled me into a tight hug and called for Appa. Her expression after seeing me was priceless.

Me- "E-Eomma!" My voice cracked a little.

Eomma- "Look at you! You have grown so much! Why didn't you tell us about your arrival!"

Me- "SURPRISE!!!" She flinched as I yelled.

Appa- "Eun? Is that you?"

Me- "Yes Appa! It's not a dream! It's really me!"

I could see tears in his eyes too. He came forward and gave me a hug. I went in with my luggage after the emotional reunion.

Eomma- "Go to the guest room and get freshened! Your room is a little dusty! I'll tell the maid to clean your room later!"

Me- "Ne Eomma!"

I went to the guest room to freshen up. After 30 minutes, I joined my parents for lunch.

After so long, I got to eat my mom's hand made dishes. It was much more better than the food I got in Australia. While we were silently eating, Appa broke the silence.

Appa- "You must be tired today!"

Me- "Yeah! Actually I am! I will just go get some rest after lunch!"

Appa- "Good! You may rest! Our little girl has worked so much hard! She must be tired!" He giggled.

Me- "Appa!" I whined.

Me- "I am not a little girl anymore!"

Eomma- "Sure!" I could clearly sense the sarcasm.

Me- "Anyways! I am here to run my boss's business! He gave me the responsibility of the business so here I am! He told me to rest for a week and then start but i I will start working from tomorrow!"

Appa- "No you won't!"

Me- "Huh?" I gave him a confused look.

Appa- "You see, our family business is going to be merged with the Kim's business!" Hearing the word 'Kim' gave me chills down to my spine.

Me- "Oh! That's great!"

Appa- "Yes! And we are going to their house tomorrow!" My eyes grew wide.

Me- "Why?"

Eomma- "What do you mean why? Tomorrow is Taehyung's 25th birthday! Don't you keep in touch with him!"

Me- "Oh yeah! I forgot! We keep in touch all the time! Why wouldn't we?" I averted my gaze away from them to avoid eye contact as I was never good at lying while directly looking at the other's eyes.

Eomma- "Ok then! We will be going to their house tomorrow! Wear something decent! Not these office outfits for once!" I chuckled at her comment and put my plate in the sink.

I went inside the guest room and closed the door. As I did, my smile faded right away. I didn't want to meet Taehyung again. It was hard for me to forget him and move on, but now that I have, I didn't want those wounds to become fresh again.

The next day, I was getting ready to go to Taehyung's so called birthday party. I swear I feel anger boiling my body whenever that name is mentioned. I wore a party dress as my parents would kill me if I wore something simple.

I was in no mood to get a makeover but I put a very light make up. Let's just say natural makeup because the makeup was almost invisible.

I went to my parents who were waiting for me in the car.

Eomma- "Our daughter is getting gorgeous day by day! Don't you think honey?"

Appa- "Indeed!" They both giggled while I was there getting emmbaresed by their cheesy comments.

We reached to the party venue and it was a GINORMOUS MANSION. WAS HE THAT RICH!?!?!? I gaped looking at it when I realised this was the place they were celebrating a stupid person's 'birthday'. I turned to my parents who started heading to the entrance door. I followed them to see two bodyguards smiling at us and letting us in. As we entered, we were greeted by Mr and Mrs.Kim.

Appa- "Were here!" He smiled ear to ear.

Mr.Kim- "Why are you so happy today huh?"

Mrs.Kim- "Honey! Look behind them!" She whispered to Mr.Kim.

He then tilted his head slightly to get a better view. As he saw me smiling at him, his jaw slightly dropped.

Mr.Kim- "Is that pretty girl our Eun?" My face was getting red as now even Mr.Kim complemented me.

Appa- "Yes it is! Eun has come back! I am sure she will be here for a while!"

Mrs.Kim- "That's great! It's a good thing that on such a big day, Eun is here with us!" Big day? What do they mean by that? It's just a birthday right?

Eomma- "Now where is the birthday boy?"

Mrs.Kim- "He is with his friends! Let me bring him!" With that, Mrs.kim left.

As I was observing the place, my eyes landed on a female figure. Was that.............Seon?

I approached to her with a bright smile as deep down I knew it was Seon. After 5 years, she was completely a different person. She looked like a model to be honest. She was busy talking to some other people. She turned around to my voice.

Me- "S-Seon?"

Seon- "Omg! Eun? Omg are you Eun?"

Me- "Yes! Yes I am Eun! Look at you! You have completely changed!"

Seon- "Look at me? Look at you! You look gorgeous! You were always pretty but now you have gone to an extreme level!"

Me- "Ok seriously! What did you do in the past 5 years!"

Seon- "Nothing much, just finished college and then joined a fitness club where I trained for one year!" Then I tried working as a makeup artist and now I am a professional after taking courses for the last 2 years!"

Me- "Wow! No wonder why you look so different!"

Seon- "Anyways, how's your life going?"

Me- "My life was going great until I had to come to this stupid party!" Seon giggled at my statement.

Me- "I mean I shouldn't even be here! My parents brought me!"

Seon- "Honestly even I didn't wanted to come either but my boyfriend was begging me to come so here I am!" I gave her a shocked expression as I heard the word 'boyfriend'.

Me- "You have a boyfriend?"

Seon- "Umm yeah! His name is Jin! He is one of Taehyung's friends!"

Me- "YOU ARE DATING JIN!"

Seon- "Yeah! But do you know him?"

Me- "Ofcourse I do! Back when me and Taehyung were friends, he introduced me to his friends, and Jin was one of them!"

Seon- "Oh! I didn't know that! He never mentioned anything about you so I thought he didn't know you!"

Me- "It's ok! Ever since Taehyung left me broken, his friends even made a distance with me!"

Seon- "Oh!" She simply said not knowing what to say next.

Just then, Eomma called me and I quickly exchanged my number with Seon's before heading towards my parents.

Eomma- "Eun! Look! Mrs.Kim is coming with Taehyung! He looks handsome doesn't he?"

I averted my gaze to the direction where Eomma was looking. I saw Mrs.Kim and a tall male figure walking beside her. As I focused closely, I saw his facial features. Yup. Definitely was Taehyung, but not the old cute one. This man in front of me was indeed handsome and manlier. His facial features were perfection. Wait, what am I saying? I hate him.

Kim Taehyung's POV

Was I dreaming? Was that seriously Eun standing in front of me?

Eomma- "Taehyung! Look, it's Eun! Do you like the surprise!"

I was speechless. I was in a shock seeing her after 5 years. She has quite changed alot. She looked more mature and beautiful than ever. Her face looked so perfect even without makeup. Well it didn't look like she was wearing any makeup.

A part of me was fuming in anger as I recalled all the bitter memories, the betrayal. Eventhough, a bigger part of me was delighted to see her after so long. Unknowingly a smile crept on my face. She saw it but ignored it by looking away.

Abeoji- "Kids! You two talk right here! We will be back! We have something important to discuss!"

Then both our parents left leaving me and Eun alone. It was obviously awkward as neither of us started a conversation. We just stayed silent until our parents come back.

End of POV

Mr. and Mrs.Kim sat down near a table so did Mr. and Mrs.Jung. They all had the same thing in mind.

Mr.Kim- "So what do you think?"

Mr.Jung- "I think we should!"

Mrs.Jung- "Yeah! I think we should make the announcement today!"

Mrs.Kim- "But don't you think the kids should know about it first?"

Mr.Kim- "No! We will make the announcement today! And right now! I am sure they will accept it!"

Mr.Jung- "Ok then! Let's go! Today Taehyung is going to remember this day!" They all chuckled in unison.
