38 The right thing to do.

"I'm fine. It's you that I worry about. She has been harassing you a lot these days right?"

"Well, can't exactly deny that. Cuz' of that, I've been attending meetings that I didn't need to attend."

Leira sighed inwardly when her brother said that. She slipped her Louboutin nude heels before stepping out of her penthouse, taking the elevator straight to her private car basement.

"I'm working on it, Wushin oppa. Anyways, see you at lunch."

"You're coming?" Wushin asked on the other line. Leira hummed.

"I'm attending the board meeting."

"Eh? Why?"

"Cleaning."

::

"Good work Dr Han."

Seunwo nodded as he successfully lead another surgery. Thanking the people around him, he walked off while the nurses stopped what they're doing and enjoy his good look.

"I heard from my friends in SNU that he's like a warm prince that could help you when you need it but seeing him up close, he's more like an ice prince. Not that I'm complaining though, he is just so dreamy." One nurse said sending heart eyes.

"Nurse Naeun said that he broke up with his girlfriend before he transfered here so maybe thats the reason-"

"What's the tea? Is that how your generation use these days?" A warm voice joined them.

"Head surgeon! Nothing! We were just appreciating Dr Han's work." They said sheepishly getting back to their job.

"I see. Carry on then, don't let me stop you. He is a good surgeon after all." The head surgeon said plastering a smile.

Looking back at the doctor who had now change out of his work attire to his casual, he too noticed how the doctor smiled lesser these days.

Seunwo light up his second cigarette for the day as he leaned back to his car.

Without realising it, he bring himself to the same mountain almost everyday before he went home. Even so, he did realised one thing.

He made a mistake.

Leira accepted him the way he is and yet he decided to run away when they were going to the next stage in their relationship.

He thought he wasn't ready.

"Will she take me back?" He chuckled lowly, looking up to the blue sky while puffing out the smoke.

Putting off the cigarette, he answered the call when his phone rang.

"Hello."

"Seunwo, let's get a drink tonight!"

He sighed not even trying to hide his discontent towards the caller.

"Great, see you there!" Taejin cheered and ended the call. Seunwo just shook his head amused.

"If only he isn't a popstar, I wouldn't have to think. Oh well, I need a drink too."

Who would have thought, the regular annual board meeting was going to be chaotic when the youngest daughter of their president attended.

"You can't do this!"

"In a matter a fact, I can." Leira sat rooted to her chair not minding the woman who she call mother, yelling at her.

Wushin rubbed his temple getting tired with the commotion. The longer it is, the more annoyed he became.

"Are you sure of this? I have no objection in this but she is your mother." He said looking at his sister that was seated just beside him. Leira nodded.

"Yes. With all the false rumors she's spreading, it had affected the company. She don't have the rights to hold a share in this company. It was the only right thing to do. "

"Alright, that settles it then. Good work everyone, this meeting is dismissed."

The board members avoided Runa's pleading eyes and exited the meeting room, not wanting to meddle with what had happened. They bowed respectfully at their CEO and their advisor that had started the chaos.

"Isn't that a bit harsh for Miss Leira to do that?" An elderly woman question was heard as they exited.

"I trust our advisor. Miss Runa did spread a lot of rumors thats affecting the company. Miss Leira did what she had to do. Family or not."

The door closed leaving the two siblings and a fuming woman.

"So this is what your dad raised you to be? A spoiled bad mannered girl? How could you take my share?" Runa slammed her hands on the table loudly.

"You should have seen this coming, mother. I had enough of your dirty tricks. I only took your share here so if you don't want the other shares from other businesses to be taken, please stay away from us." Leira said in her unusual serious tone. Wushin knew from there, his sister will own up to her words.

"Are you threatening me?" Runa scoffed.

"Yes. This is a threat. Now, leave before I call the security to escort you out."

"She's going to press about this for sure. Are you okay with that?" Wushin asked when the woman stormed off not before giving a death glare at her uncaring daughter.

" That is my plan. She will talk shit about me and people will focused on my bad attitude and evilness towards my mother. That will divert the attention on you to me."

"Aw sis, you actually care a lot about your older brother."

"Don't start. That is all that matters. I don't want my mother to jeopardise what you guys have." Leira said smiled sadly at her brother. He just chuckled and patted her hair assuringly.

"Aigoo, hang in there, Ra. We just have another month to go before we can all go back to the states. "

"...Right."

::

"Nice. Is this place new? I didn't noticed it the last time I came by the shop nearby." Leira said getting comfortable to the environment.

The cafe was at the rooftop of the mid rise building located nearby the beach so they could hear the waves. Though it was saturday night, the cafe was relatively quiet as the people in it are just enjoying their peacefulness with their friends.

"Glad you liked it. The renovation finished just a week ago. Thats why I invited everyone to come." Taejin said bringing their drinks to their table at the corner of the rooftop for them to see the full view of the sea.

"Wow popstar now owns a cafe bar. Good job oppa." Leira nudged him playfully.

"Yeah, thanks to him I was busy. He's really picky when it comes to decoration. I thought of drowning him in the sea but his fans would kill me." Chae said exasperatedly making the brother laugh.

"You needed it, sis. Cheer up already."

Leira knew exactly what Taejin meant when he said that.

"Oh, Dohyon! Come right up." Taejin waved his hand down at the male who had just arrived with his big ducatti. Dohyon looked up and nodded as he took off his helmet.

"You haven't answered his calls huh." Leira said meaningfully. Chae scratched her cheek with a finger, unbothered.

"Chae.."

"I will not talk to him until he dumps that girl. Just that. End of topic."

"But why can't I know what did she said to make you and Dohyon so mad?" Leira asked taking a sip of her soju.

"You don't have to know." Dohyon bopped her head from behind as he arrived at their table. Chae grinned at him when he raised his eyebrows at her briefly. Leira sighed in defeat.

"I kinda miss my twin."

"He doesn't deserve to have you as his twin if he keep that bitch."

"Agreed."

Chae and Dohyon bumped fist leaving the girl out.

"Taejin, these two are mean." Leira whined. Taejin chuckled.

"Alright, now whats up? Fill me in. I want to know what happen that day."

"Right, you wouldn't believe it. " Chae downed the whole glass of soju before telling her brother what had happened.

Leaving out what Sena had said that made them flipped out.

Leira could only listened dejectedly, staring at the sea.

::

"No way!" Chae gasped. Leira grinned at her.

"Yes way. It was probably the most thrilling exploration ever. We ended up spending three days there to fully scout the place."

"I wonder how are you still able to be alive at this point. Don't places like that have wild animals?" Dohyon asked still amused of his adventurous friend.

"Not really. Though one of my team member did say that he saw something lurking behind us." Leira said tapping her chin. Chae gasped and shook her back and forth.

"Oh my god, woman. I told you to not bring home a ghost. Let alone a sacred one!"

Leira laughed as they both getting tipsy from drinking. Dohyon smiled seeing the two act as usual.

"It's been awhile right." Taejin said clinking his glass with the latter. Dohyon nodded.

"Leira had been down ever since she came back, its good to see her laughing like this."

"Dohyon, look at this. She even took a picture of it. I cant with this woman." Chae said hiding her face in his chest.

Leira giddily showed her phone to him with a bright smile on her face.

"This is a sighting right? Don't ya think so?"

"Creepy Leira but that is a good shot." Dohyon snorted.

"Right right?"

"She is just so proud of it, I'm levitating-ah no I back to ground."

Leira hummed questioningly when Chae's lively tone turned sour.

"Ah right, I invited everyone so...." Taejin scratched his nape.

"Hwiyun my twin!" Leira exclaimed but was immediately blocked out when Chae held her palm over her mouth.

"That....Rat! Alright Leilei, time to go home."

"Hyung." Hwiyun sighed looking at the other male friend. Dohyon shrugged.

"Have you find out?"

"....No."

"Aight Chae, after you." Dohyon said as they drag tipsy Leira to leave.

Taejin sighed while Hwiyun looked like he was about to cry.

"You guys..."Taejin rubbed his temple.

"Oh another good looking RAT!"

He heard his sister's voice. He knew he messed up.

"If it isnt my ex boyfriend..." Leira squinted her eyes at the newcomer. Her eyes watered in instant.

Seunwo panicked inwardly.

"Leir-"

"Get back here this instant! All of you!" Taejin called out to them.
