"S-S-Seok Woo??" I stammer. He pulls me by my collar and pins me to the wall. With his eyes brimming with rage and resentment. He tries choking me and screams, "you killed my sister didn't you? How dare you!"

His grip around my neck tightens and I could hardly breathe. As my vision blurred, someone enters the house and punches Seok Woo away.
I cough loudly and try gasping for air. I breathe heavily as Eric helps me to the living room and Seok Woo just stares at the both of us, wiping the blood over his lips.
Eric walks over to him and hands a tissue. "first, I guess we need to have a talk Seok Woo," Eric says and gestures him to sit.

Seok Woo wipes his tears and says, "I was so excited to get enlisted that day and I could see how sad my noona was. She kept telling me that she would miss me so much and for the first time she cried so thoughtlessly, pouring her heart out. Little did I know it was the last time I would be seeing her face..."
"I'm sorry you had to lose your sister in a car accident... Taehyung was as devastated as you. He literally saw her blood stained figure that day... Seok Woo, please understand how much Taehyung had to go through as well. They were literally in love," Eric says.
I burry my face in my palms to cover my tears and try breathing at regular pace.
"I'm sorry we couldn't inform you, Seok Woo. I know it was unfair to know that your sister died only after your military serving was over. Taehyung still regrets everything and he cant even sleep properly because of that. I'm not trying to justify anything here.... I'm just asking you to understand his feelings..." Eric says.
After talking for an hour or so, I sit on my knees and bow. Rubbing my palms, I say "Seok Woo, please forgive me. It was all my fault. I shouldn't have forced her to eat, I shouldn't have kept looking at her, I shouldn't-" Seok Woo cuts me and helps me stand up.
He hugs me strokes my back. "It isn't your fault Taetae hyung... maybe I too should have stayed with her that day. Even in her last moments she was sad because of me. I just wish.... I could have said a proper goodbye," Seok Woo says.
Seok Woo came to know about Chae Young's death after two years. He was so devastated and even lost the hope to live. With my connections, I made FNC Entertainment select him as an idol. He debuted soon after that and now is known by his famous stage name- Rowoon. He still doesn't know how he "mysteriously" got selected. I thought that that was the only way to divert his thoughts.

(a/n: Rowoon- aka Seok Woo)
After Eric and Seok Woo left my house, I finally was able to breathe properly. I was so guilt ridden for the past three years. I kept telling my maid to not let anyone in and that's why Seok Woo couldn't meet me earlier. I was afraid of meeting him. I kept thinking that it was my fault.
(a couple of hours later)
Looking at the grocery list, I push the retail store's door open and start searching for the vegetables that the maid told me to buy.
"Excuse me Mr. Intruder! Is your visual system impaired? Can't you see the huge 'closed' sign? I swear to god I'll call the police and report you as a creepy womanizer!" a girl says.
I hastily turn and look in the direction of that voice. My eyes gleam as it lands on a beautiful girl. I check her name badge and smile widely. Her name badge said-
