Lin sat and waited in the dining room. She wore a simple attire a black linen dress with her hair pinned back to her head. Li Jun's seeds still warm in between her legs. Nothing too flashy or too distracting to take the attention from the female guess Shin brought home with him.

Janet walked in next, she wore a simple blouse and jeans. A little under dressed for the dinner being served. That's not her fault. She hardly has the money to spend for the kind of clothes Li Jun can afford for Lin.

Lin lifted her head and smiled to the arriving woman. Janet hesitated and almost stepped back when they met eye contact. She had not expected Lin to be around.

Wasn't the lavish dinner for her and Shin? Then, what's an escort doing here? She gathered herself forcing a smile on her lips. She should be polite.

"Hi there." Murmured Lin.

"Oh, you're still here?" Answered Janet.

Lin blinked lost at what she said. Why would she say that? I live here...Then she thought again. Perhaps it was Janet's broken mandarin. She was meaning to say something else.

The ladies sat in uncomfortable silence, with nothing but the sound of breathing and occasional groaning accompanying them.

It felt like a very long minute until Shin surfaced to join them.

"Shin!" Greeted Janet couldn't be happier for him to break the uncomfortable air. "What kept you so long? You said you're just behind me?"

"I had a word with my father before I came down." He smiled and strode over next to her pulling out a chair, hardly paying attention to the other woman on the table.

His smile faded as soon as his gaze landed on Lin. Shin had to take a second look just to make sure he's not mistaking her for someone else.

"L-lin?" He mumbles, stumbling her name on his tongue.

His heart skipped. She looked....different from how he remembered her.

"W-wha..."

"Hey, Shin. Long time no see!" Lin greeted casually.

She tried not to look distraught or distracted but couldn't help but soak in the finer details of him. Shin looked like a man, a far distant from a teenager she knew. "You look good." She added. "How long has it been? Four years?"

"I thought your father doesn't keep the same escort around?"

Shin and Lin both whipped their heads to Janet. Lin couldn't hide her outrage. She was offended. Her mouth thinned, face searing hot. She could've sworn Janet meant to insult her first time around but she had been nice enough to doubt her. "Excuse me?"

Shin was quick to cut the women off. "No, no, no....This is Lin, Janet. She's not an escort. She's..." Shin paused, searching for a proper word. He didn't know exactly how to describe her. She's my first love. "She's brought here to pay off a debt."

Lin calmed down; she had not expected Shin to defend her.

"Oh," Janet apologized quickly. "Shin told me you were an escort earlier."

Lin frowned and glared at Shin. " You told her what?"

"I didn't!" He exhaled. This is not the type of scenario he imagined for his first day back home. "I didn't know she was talking about you! What happened?"

It had not occurred to him at all. Even now as he stared at her, he couldn't process what he missed. "Why do you look like that?"

Her frown deepened. "Like what?"

"Like one of his girlfriends!"

Janet whipped her gaze back and forth dazed and confused. Those two started arguing out of nowhere like lovers, leaving her out as though she wasn't there. She could've swore Shin told her he doesn't have a sister. So who is she? What's happening?

It was Janet's turn to snarl at Shin. "Who is she really?"
