Lee Wan lazily sprawled across the living room couch; here goes another long winded lecture from his dad. He turned on his favorite songs; quickly put the ear piece in his ears and with his eyes closed he lay there silently while his father went on and on about family duties and responsibilities. Park Jin Woo, Lee Wan’s adopted brother and best friend leaned against the wall observing father and son and shook his head. They were both hopeless.
“Oboji, it’s time to get ready for tonight’s dinner with Wook publishing.” Jin reminded his father.
“Same goes for you Wan, let’s get moving!” Jin grabbed his brother’s arm and together they headed up the stairs.
“Oboji must be crazy this time, like I’m gonna marry some twenty year old virgin!” Wan paused and then grinned.
“Wait…maybe that’s not a bad idea; I’ve never had one of those before…” Jin shoved Wan playfully and said,
“Be serious, you’re meeting her tonight. For oboji’s sake be on your best behavior!” Wan rolled his eyes. Jin was becoming quite a stuffy guy.
“Be careful Jin before you become just like Oboji.” he warned.
“Don’t worry about me…I’m not the one meeting my future wife tonight!” Jin grinned at the flash of panic in Wan’s eyes.
“God help me Jin, what if she is ugly as hell and shape like a ball…” Wan groaned and banged his head against the wall.
“You have a choice; either live on your own without oboji’s financial assistance or be an obedient son and continue to live without worry of poverty.”
Wan signed deeply, he has no plan to take over his father’s business…Jin can have that position. But right now he needs money to pursue his dream of becoming a photographer and therefore he needs his dad.
“I hope she’s decent looking…” Wan said quietly already sealing his own fate…he’ll marry as long as his father continues to provide him with financial assistance. I hope she doesn’t smell! Wan shudder, he hates girls with bad odors.

“Hyung what the hell is this?” Jae looked in the mirror and could not believe he was staring at himself. His hyung, Won Bin gave him a complete makeover, instead of blond hair he now has darkish brown hair cut stylishly, and instead of wearing his normal leather jacket and baggy pant, he now has on a tuxedo.
“I need you to be my eyes and ears at this dinner party Jae; business is on the downhill and we need to know who our allies are and who’s likely to betray us.” Won bin said as he fixed his hair and tucked his shirt inside his pant.
Jae frowned,
“You know this isn’t me hyung, I barely passed high school. I’m not cut out for the business world; leave me be with my music”
Won bin laughed and slapped the back of Jae’s shoulder,
“I know you’ll do your best for us; I’m counting on you to be my eyes and ears. Heck, invite Junsu and Yunho to help you. Find out who is thinking or planning to back Wook publishing, possible stock sales and also if anybody is thinking about merging their companies.”
Jae shook his head, yeah right…what the hell…stock sales, merging? He ran his hand through his hair and followed his brother out the door.
“Wook publishing? Dong wook will be there tonight?” Jae asked. Won bin nodded,
“I think so; heard there was some under the table deal going on but there’s no confirmation.”
Jae slide inside the car. If Dong wook is at the dinner party, Geunyeong will most likely be there also…if not, he’ll find out where she is one way or another.
It’s been almost four months since Geunyeong left; he searched for her everywhere but still hasn’t found her. But tonight, he was sure tonight he’ll uncovered her whereabouts.
When they planned to live together, he worked his butts off saving money and applying for one job after another. He was lucky that Junsu has connection in the entertainment industry and got him a position with Dreamer agency; and from there Dreamer though he has the potential as a song writer and connected him with their sister company. It’ll all depends if he can produced any songs that Star Inc. like; if not…then it’ll be the end of his music career.
Jae already made plans with Dreamer agency to model for next year’s fashion, and even contracted with their sister company Star Inc. to composed songs for a few upcoming singers. All of his effort was for Geunyeong…she was the one who believed in his ability as a song writer, but now he felt everything was meaningless because of her betrayal. Most of all he’s trying his best to contained the raging emotion towards her; he couldn’t help but believe she was playing him for a fool. Geunyeong, wait till I get my hands on you!
