Let's begin....

"When I grow up I will marry Oppa and we can continue to play together". The words of the little girl flashed through Joon Jae's head. At that time the girl was five years old while he was ten years old. Even he still remembered that girl spoke with innocent smile.

But now he is holding a photo of a beautiful woman, a little girl who has grown up. His father asked him to come home to Korea immediately after he finished his Masters Study in Germany. His father unceremoniously asked him to return only to marry the girl of his choice. The little girl who used to say that she would marry him when she grew up, the meaningless words used to happen now too.

Jung Soo Kyung, the name of the girl in the photo he is holding. Of course, like in a predictable, very cliché, their family has known each other for a long time. Joon Jae's father and Soo Kyung's late father were friends for a long time.

Joon Jae initially refused to do this marriage. He has almost lost confidence in a relationship. He even thought that he wouldn't get married.

Joon Jae is of course normal, completely normal. He had fallen in love, really loved a woman, but the betrayal of this woman made him like this. Feelings are not important to Joon Jae. He became accustomed to just playing with women, dating her overnight and the next day he would simply dump her.

But somehow after seeing Soo Kyung, Joon Jae wanted to break what he had previously said. Plus, during a family meeting, Soo Kyung's grandpa looks at him, clasping his hands while saying to take care of his only grandchild. Soo Kyung's grandfather shares his worry that if one day he is gone, then Soo Kyung is alone. So Joon Jae's presence as her husband will make Soo Kyung's grandfather feel at peace, whenever he finally has to go, he knows that his grandchild has someone who can look after her, to be a support for her.

Joon Jae also somehow likes Soo Kyung's attitude. What a cheerful manner, her cute smile and laughter that made people infected with her. Joon Jae finally convinced himself to try. Think of it like therapy, so he too can forget what happened to him.

Day by day he tries to get to know his future wife and sure enough, he realizes that he likes Soo Kyung. But everything seems to change, two weeks before his marriage to Soo Kyung, Joon Jae has to leave because one of his company in Seattle branch has a problem.

Upon his return, Joon Jae can feel the change in Soo Kyung. She is mostly silent, often daydreaming and empty, she also rarely laughs. The top of everything is after their wedding, in their wedding night.

He could feel his wife moving restlessly in her sleep, her fingers tightly gripping the blanket that covered her naked body. The next second that Joon Jae will never forget, "Jung Woo-ya .. please don't go, please". His wife muttered the name Jung Woo in her sleep, even tears came out of her closed eyes. The name often escapes his wife's lips and it disgusts Joon Jae.

It was only a while ago that Soo Kyung left her office, of course after their hot sex session. Joon Jae can still feel Soo Kyung's present there. He then tucks himself into the his chair, staring at the torn divorce papers Soo Kyung brought earlier.

There is a sudden rush of sadness Joon Jae feels when he looks at the divorce papers that have been torn apart. Joon Jae always manages to hold himself back from looking weak in front of Soo Kyung. His best defense was to be cold at her, throwing sarcastic words at her. But sometimes, seeing the sadness on his wife's face almost always makes his defense collapse.

Joon Jae tries to refocus himself with work, but ultimately fails. His mind wandered somewhere. His consciousness returned when his cell phone rang. It was unusual for Mrs Noh to contact him at this time. Joon Jae picks up the call and scowls his face. He could tell by the tone of her voice that Mrs. Noh sounded panicked.

"Young master, how is this .. Young mistress.. Young mistress tried to commit suicide".

"WHAT? !! .. I COME HOME NOW !!".

Joon Jae drives his car with incredible speed. What else is on his wife's mind now? Joon Jae tries to stay calm, but he realizes that his heart beat so fast, it's feel hurt hearing that Soo Kyung tried to end his life.

Arriving at his residence, Joon Jae ran to his room. What his vision presented was so terrifying. His wife lay unconscious with a cut wrist and a pool of thick red blood around her.

Joon Jae rushes towards his wife who is getting pale. Grabbing her into his arms, "Soo Kyung-a wake up ... Ms. Noh, have you called an ambulance?", His voice choked. Fear was overwhelming him. Oh my God how... Please don't leave me

Soon the paramedics came and took his wife's body. Joon Jae accompanies his wife on the journey to the hospital that feels so long for him.

Don't know how long Joon Jae has been waiting, he's worried, of course. But not for long prof. Joo appears, and he can see that his face are so tense that it makes Joon Jae even more nervous.

"We've handled your wife, BuHwejangnim, but later we will check whether there is any damage to the nerves of her hand

"We've handled your wife, BuHwejangnim, but later we will check whether there is any damage to the nerves of her hand. Her condition is still critical because she lost a lot of blood. Fortunately she was found and brought here quickly. We will immediately move to the VVIP room now" , said Prof. Joo.

"Thank you, and I want to remind you. That this case should not come out to the public. You understand", Joon Jae reminded his staff. He knows that his Jaeguk Medical Center has a very high security and privacy system for VIP and VVIP patients. But he did not want the media to sniff about this incident.

"Of course BuHwejangnim, you don't need to worry". Prof. Joo bowed and withdrew.

Before long, the VIP ward nurse and the doctor who handled his wife took her to the VVIP treatment room. Joon Jae can see his wife lying weak, pale and unconscious. Her hand that was cut was also bandaged. A breathing apparatus, an intravenous line, and a tube from the blood bag were seen sticking to her body. Joon Jae can only silently hold his wife's hand, and say a prayer in his heart.

Han Jo Ha heard a knock on his office door, and his assistant appeared. "Sorry Sajangnim, there is important news".

"What's the news, Jung Min?"

"Miss Soo Kyung was admitted to the hospital this afternoon".

"What's wrong with Soo Kyung? Which hospital? And you know which room he is being treated in?", Said Jo Ha looking worried.

"Jaeguk Medical Center, VVIP 1 room. But I still don't know why Miss Soo Kyung can be treated there?".

Jo Ha motioned for his secretary to leave the room. "My sister's husband will drive Soo Kyung crazy later", Jo Ha said in such a calm tone. He also decided to go and see firsthand the condition of his younger sister.
