“She’s
staying here.” Jaejoong said to the other four members. He’s not asking
permission from them. He’s merely stating a fact.
The
other members looked at Jaejoong like he has grown two heads. “Are you crazy,
Jae? We don’t even know who she is.” Yunho complained.
“Exactly.
We don’t know who she is and how to contact her family. We can’t just leave her
alone. She has amnesia for god’s sake. “Everyone knew he got a point. They’ve
been trying to argue with Jaejoong but they all knew it was pointless. The girl
needs help and Jaejoong is so determined to give it to her with or without
their cooperation.
The
next day, Seohyun was discharged from the hospital. Jaejoong took her home. He
already told her everything he knew about her… her name, how they met and why
she’s in Tokyo. He also introduced her to the other members and although in the
beginning they are against the idea of letting her stay at their place,
Jaejoong noticed they started to show kindness to her and he was grateful for
it.
“Yoochun
and I are sharing rooms. You can use my bed.” Jaejoong told Seohyun.
“Where
will you sleep, oppa?”
“I’ll
sleep at the couch. Don’t worry about me.” He smiled to prove his point.

Lee
Soo Man’s secretary, Park Min Young, was ushered inside the CEO’s office. Her
boss seems to be more irritable than normal these past few days. He ordered her
to contact some investigators probably to look for his missing daughter and
when he couldn’t get results after 24 hours he had been furious.
“All
of you are nothing but incompetent bastards!” she heard him told them once. The
investigators left in haste all wearing expressions that say, “I’d rather die than get back in here.”
She
wondered what could her boss want from her this time. “Min Young ssi, these are
the reports all those incompetent fools managed to gather so far. I want you to
read through them and tell me if you find anything helpful.”
“Arasseo,
Lee Soo Man ssi.” With that, she went back to her post together with the papers
Lee Soo Man entrusted to her. She didn’t need to read the contents of the
report to know where Seohyun is. She knew where the CEO’s daughter is. She
doesn’t really care whether she should tell her boss or not.
She doesn’t care
whether Lee Seohyun loses her momentary freedom. After all she is a woman who
doesn’t care about anything. She works for the sake of working. If she gets
fired, she’ll just have to find work again. For her, that’s how simple the
things in this world are.

She
woke up with the sound of someone singing. It was so beautiful that she even
thought she was still dreaming. She refused to open her eyes hoping drowsiness
would overwhelm her once again. It was always the same every morning. She finds
it hard to wake up knowing that she has to face her boring life again.
However,
to her surprise today seemed to be different. The music kept penetrating her
half-conscious mind until she became fully awake. She could hear a faint sound
of someone playing the piano and singing along at the same time. After a while,
she finally decided to open her eyes. She was not in her own bedroom, she
realized. Everything that had happened these past few days came rushing back
through her mind. That’s right. She remembers everything. The music room in
SME, the phone, the pictures… she still blushes everytime she was reminded of
those pictures. She also remembers her birthday, the amusement park, the
accident. Yes, it was the accident that changed everything. It was the reason
why she was in this wonderful place.
