Nabi and Jiyong went hand in hand as they entered the cold and eerie place. This was something far from Jiyong's experience and although Nabi was hiding behind a hard mask that she learned to build over the course of six months away from Jiyong, he could tell she was no expert either.

Bae Jang Mi had insisted that Nabi get closure from her father. Nabi wouldn't be able to move on if she didn't. She explained to Nabi that the closure wasn't for him but for her own wellbeing. She then continued on to say that the closure helps with moving on and healing. Once Bae Jang Mi found out her mother is alright, she'll cut ties with her because she didn't need that poisonous gas in her life, and she explained this to Nabi. She made sure Nabi understood that she no longer needed to keep in contact with her father. She did nothing wrong.

After drinking the night before in celebration of Nabi's new life, she woke up wanting to continue to go towards living freely. Meanwhile, Jiyong decided he wouldn't bring up Nabi's darkest secret to her. He felt like it was something internal to her and only she could fix it. She needed to be the one to forgive herself. It wasn't something Jiyong could do for her. So he decided to just keep quiet, stay by her side, and love her as much as he can. Without a doubt.

"Can you guys slow down? My leg is aching." Lawyer Ahn said from behind the two.

Nabi was too lost in her own world that she had totally forgotten about Lawyer Ahn tagging along. The only reason she had tagged along was because Lawyer Ahn was the one making sure to put Nabi's father in prison for his whole life if she has to. She came with a smug face, knowing she'd instantly win the case because of the evidence that was provided.

"Right this way ma'am." A gaurd escorted them to a small room. "We will be bringing the inmate shortly."

"I can do this." Nabi said reassuring herself.

"Yes you can. You're no longer alone." Jiyong says, giving their intertwined hands a little squeeze.

"Thank you for coming with me." Nabi said softly.

"Yeah. Whatever. I'd do whatever for-"

"Okay. Let's all pretend the rapper went out of his busy schedule to come her while I was just bored and lonely with piles of cases on my desk." Lawyer Ahn says rolling her eyes.

Nabi just smiled at her, too nervous to talk. And when that buzzer came that indicated the prisoner entering the visiting room, Nabi almost fell out of her seat from her nerves getting the best of her. Jiyong let go of her hand and wrapped it around her waist, holding her still. She was glad he did it otherwise she would of fallen out of her seat.

As soon as they saw Nabi's father enter with his blue jump suit with a number on his left chest, Nabi's whole body changed. She had went stiff and her face contoured into her cold features she worked hard to hold while working under the control of the evil man standing before her. Even Jiyong noticed it and it worried him because he honestly hated this side of her.

"What do you want? To rub it in that you got me?" He asked sitting down in front of the three. "Why are you here? You smell closer to death than I do. And I'm the one locked up." He says to Lawyer Ahn.

Lawyer Ahn just smirked. "Making sure you stay here longer than you'll live."

"Why?" Nabi asked getting straight to the point while looking at him. "Why did you treat me so differently from Tae Gyeong?"

He looked at her and smirked. "I actually love him, my son."

Nabi ignored the pang of hurt she felt because she had always known all along about her father's love for Tae Gyeong. It was just surprise to hear it from the horse's mouth.

"Why did you pull me into your schemes?" Nabi asked. "It couldn't be because you wanted to place the blame on me."

"That's actually what I told the shareholders and at some point they believed me." He smirked. "To be honest, I wanted to ruin your love life."

Jiyong suddenly went tense.

"That's very mature. What the hell are you talking about?" Nabi snapped.

"Come on seriously? Break up with your boyfriend and come work for me." He said with a smirk. "You really think I wanted you to work for me and see all that I've done?"

Nabi chuckled. "I didn't agree because of you. My mother's will insisted that I take back what was meant to be mine. The company. You, had nothing to ever do with this decision. Unfortunately both of you were asking for the same thing." She said turning to look over to Jiyong. "To leave Jiyong and protect him."

"Yes. And our goal was succeeded." Lawyer Ahn smirked. "I'll handle it from here."

"Jiyong, let's go." Nabi said. "I don't need closure." She smiled. "I never needed anything from him."

.................

After Jiyong dropped Nabi off at her office, she began to work again. Working on building her company back up to a stable state. She was busy in her office. Her blazer came off and her heels were set aside as she began making phone calls to other departments.

Nabi needed to cancel all the ugly clothes that were at the stores under their names. Of course the clothes being sold at stores were under contract, so Nabi was trying to get out of most of the contracts without paying the money to do so. It was proving much harder than usual and she had literally no time to eat even though she was starving.

"I brought lunch!" Tae Geyong says entering Nabi's office.

Nabi looked up from her busy typing and smiled as she saw Tae Gyeong in casual clothing. "What are you doing here?" She asked standing up.

"Came to visit the youngest chairwoman in the business." He smiled. "Let's pause the work and eat! I know you're hungry."

Nabi smiled and made her way towards the lounge area in her office. "Sorry, don't mind the mess." She ran towards the coffee table that had multiple of papers sprawled out on top. "Let me just take them and set them all aside." She gathered the papers and took them to her desk.

"Working hard right?" He smiled. "I'm proud of you." He added sincerely.

"Thank you. Now what did you get me for lunch?" She asked.

"Oh just a bunch of stuff. I wasn't sure what was your favorite. Chinese, Japanese, Korean or American. So I got us all four." He smiled. "You need to gain weight."

"No way! Then my boyfriend won't be able to carry me. He's too skinny." Nabi says sitting down and opening a plate.

"Will I ever get to meet the guy?" He asked.

Nabi nodded. "One day." Her mouth full of food. She set her plate down on her lap and wiped her mouth with a napkin, starting to get serious. "Oppa, what are you going to do now? Since, the company is closing down." She asked.

Tae Gyeong leaned back and held the food in his lap. "I don't know. I've only ever knew business. I was brought up on buisness. I'm a businessman and that's all I've ever known." He sighed. "Can I work for your company?" He asked.

Nabi chuckled and shook her head. "I'll get tired of seeing you." She smirked as he rolled his eyes. "No actually, I wanted to know if you wanted the company."

"Wanted the company? This company?" He asked.

"No. Your father's company. You know before the decision to give it away is made. Lawyer Ahn is holding out the decision for me." Nabi says nervously.

"I have no stocks. I don't even have shares." He said exasperated.

"I'll buy them for you. I'll have Lawyer Ahn finalize some of the papers and give the company back to you." Nabi said placing the plate on the table. "You'll have to do a lot of cleaning up. It's going to be hard."

After a long pause, he looked over at his baby sister with admiration in his eyes. "You'll do this for me? After everything my parents have done?" He asked.

Nabi gave him a sad smile. "Yes. You saved my life that night. I have to repay you with this." She said. "That is if you want it back." Nabi quickly added.

"Yes! I'll run it."

"Good." She smiled brightly. "We'll run along side each other as Business Partners. Just like our parents were supposed to be but couldn't. We'll become successful if we lean on each other."

Tae Gyeong stood up and took his little sister into a tight hug. She smiled, even though she couldn't breath. Having her brother work under her, made no sense to her. He needed to run his father's company and she knew he'd do it way better than her father.

"Whatever disbute I have with your parents, I will never put you in the same aisle as them." She said into the hug.

...............

Nabi was working at her desk, ignoring the ache in her feet. She had to walk all over the place to make sure every section of the company was in top shape. The next day she needed to check the factory, to check if everything was in order. The last thing she needed was stuff to be out of place while she was working her butt off to fix all the messes of this company. Like firing people left and right. People her father had hired and did a crappy job at her company.

Nabi was on a search for trustful employees who would work their butts off just as she had been doing. Advertising department of the company was the hardest part because that included people who were in charge of the photographer and CFs. So she was working through the multiple of files from soon-to-be employees.

"I think it's about time you stop working." Nabi looked up and held her breath at the sight of Jiyong. "I missed you." He says softly as he bent over and gave her a quick kiss.

"What are you doing here?" Nabi looked down at her watch. "It's only.....ten?" She asked shocked.

"Yes, so let's go. We need to go." Jiyong said.

"Go where?" Nabi asked already standing up.

"It's a surprise."

Later, Nabi felt herself relax into the hot steaming water. The moment Nabi sat in the leather seats of Jiyong's car, she was out cold. When she awoke, Jiyong pulled to a stop in front of one of his many homes in South Korea.

After many protests, she finally gave in to staying the night at his place. As of now, they both sat in the hot tub, over looking the city of Seoul. They were up on a mountain and Nabi had found it romantic and soothing. Especially because she could see the stars brightly.

Nabi looked over at Jiyong and smiled. "Thank you." She said.

Jiyong looked over to her with a curious gaze. "For?"

"For everything." She looked away, too scared to be vulnerable in front of Jiyong.

Jiyong reached out and pulled her to him. He made her straddle him in the small hot tub. Nabi yelped in shock when he did it but the look in his eyes told her not to say a thing about it. His wet hands went up to her face and traced the outline of her cheeks before cupping them in his hand. His thumb rubbed over her redden cheeks as they never broke eye contact. His hand soon went down to her neck where he used his new founded grip to bring her head down to his own.

Jiyong angled his face towards hers and soon placed his lips over hers. Nabi's hands rested on the hot tub beside Jiyong to help hold her weight. She was helpless in the kiss and she couldn't help but immediately kiss him back. Jiyong lead the kiss and Nabi felt all his emotions that he didn't say out loud being said into this kiss.

Adoration. Passion. Forgiveness. And Love.

After the lack of air, Nabi leaned her forehead on his, both breathing hard. Jiyong's arms easily snaked their way to her lower back, pulling her even closer to him. Her eyes were closed and she felt content for the first time in so long. She could only feel this way in the arms of Jiyong.

"I love you." Nabi whispered. "More than I love myself."

"I love you. More than I love myself." Jiyong said looking at her. "I will always love you." He added then quickly gave her another one of his knee buckling kiss.
