A week later the news announced that the only daughter of Min family has gotten discharge from the hospital. All the information about Suyeon stayed hidden, all of them says that it's an accident, the criticize about Kim Sun Woo started to get calmer. And since Min Suyeon got discharge, Ni-Ki always came home late, until the next morning, all the news is saying that Min Suyeon and Ni-Ki is dating. Slowly, there became more and more information that has been extract from Ni-Ki and Suyeon. They even found out about which school they're going in.

-Hey, he's coming.

Jungwon pushes Jay, reminding him to put away the newspaper. But this stubborn guy still calmly holds the newspaper up and reads loudly.

-Based on a trustworthy source, they will leads to marriage about February next year....

"slaps"

Sunoo throws a big pile of newspaper in Jay's face. Jay rubs his head and smirked at Sunoo 

-Did you red it?

-Maybe.

Sunoo answers and started eating, After a few minutes it's all gone. Continues drinking the milk, he turns around and asks Jay. 

-Why did you came here?

-To read newspaper.

-If you're done then get back to your school.

-Hey Sunoo, is that the attitude you're gonna give to the one who's gonna deliver good news to you?

-Good news?

-Yea.

Looking at Jay's excited face, he knows exactly what Jay's waiting for.

-What do you want?

-Only you understands me. Delicious meals. At your house. For a year.

-Easy, do you want me to show you a tip to eat good food forever? 

Jay's eyes sparkles, he came closer to Sunoo, asks repeatedly.

-What is it what is it? 

-Marry my chef.

Sunoo says calmly. After hearing that Jungwon starts to blush. He got too shy that he didn't even looks up, Jay rubs his chin.

-Hmmm, that makes sense. Hey Jungwon, do you agree?

-Stop being so shameless, what's your good news?

-Ha ha ha, you're gonna like it.

Sunoo sneak out of school early today, because it would be better to lay home than just being at school and sitting in a boring lesson. While he was climbing over the school's gate, he suddenly meet a person that made him surprised.

-.....mom?

_______________

At home

Sunoo gently puts the tea cups down on the coffee table. He got worried, why is his mom-in-law here? Does she wants to say something to him?

-I just arrived at the airport 2 hours ago, and I red the news. It is unpredictable that she came back here.

She suddenly stands up, walks near a corner of the house where there's a small white piano. She held out her  hand and gently touches the piano keys. Her voice got deep.

-Our Ni-Ki....he used to love playing the piano, becoming a pianist is his dream since he was little. That year, when the national final competition came, when Ni-Ki is only a step away from his dream, Min Suyeon left behind a bunch of troubles for my dear son. 

Ni-Ki's mom stopped, she's trying to hold back her tears, it has been two years, but every time she flashback about it, it hurts, a lot. Sunoo opens his eyes widely, all the things that he heard today is unbelievable. Ni-Ki 's mom walks to Sunoo, holds his hand tight.

-Sunoo, don't give up.

She looks at Sunoo, the kid that she looks at him like he's her own child. Since this kid stepped in her son's life, she can clearly see that Ni-Ki smiles more often. As a mom, she would always wants Ni-Ki to be happy, and she knows it for sure, that Sunoo is the one who's gonna bring happiness to her son.

-I know, my son, his personality is hard to stand. He got angry so easy, and he's very cold-hearted. Loving him is very hard, but....

-Mom, your son, he's really silly. 

-Huh?.

-But, it's that silliness that made me fall in love with him. It's gonna be fine, you have nothing to be worried about, I promise I will take my husband back.

Sunoo smiles widely. Ni-Ki's mom also smiles as a reply.

-Okay, now that's all clear. Let's go shopping.

-Huh? No I don't wanna goooooo

-No more complains, I came back here just to go shopping with you. 

-You always takes me as a mannequin for you. Noooooo I'm not goingggg.

_____________________

-I didn't thought that you will dare to meet me again.

Suyeon sits down on the chair opposite to Sunoo's, says very bossy. Sunoo doesn't care at all.

The competition, we still don't know who wins.

-Haha, isn't the result obvious? Ni-Ki doesn't care about his life just to saved me. Which proofs that he still loves me a lot.

-Yes exactly. Though he pushes you out of "the way" but the lights still falls on you. But isn't he pushing you directly into the direction that the lights is falling instead pushing you away? 

-Oh please no. It's all thanks to you for throwing that ball up there, though, Ni-Ki is mine now. You should give up.

-The "reward" belongs to you, I won't argue about that. But give up or not is my choice.

-Hey! You're a man but don't have any self-esteem?

Sunoo smirked, pushes out his chair and stand up.

-Don't misunderstood me as any normal person. If I can achieve what I want to. Self esteem? I am willing to throw it away, and when that happens, you won't get treated the same way that you are right now Min Suyeon.

Suyeon holds her hands tightly, speechless. Before stepping away, Sunoo turns around and says.

-Oh yea I forgot. Min Suyeon, next time if you wanna loosen the lamps screws, find someone who has more experiences. You don't need to thanks me for helping you to make your plan perfectly. 

Suyeon stares at Sunoo. How could he know? Sunoo winks at her and steps away. He knows her plan, and he also wants to know how NI-Ki will react so he threw the ball so strong into the lights, then everything goes as planned, he guessed it but he's still very disappointed, so disappointed. He regretted why didn't he throw it into a bigger light for her to became disable, bit actually Sunoo accepted to help Suyeon out in her plan because he wanna see Suyeon get hurt.

It's now fall, the colds wind is starting to return, and the leaves are falling off. Sunoo looks at the window, looking at the fields that's now starting to have the color of sunset. Feeling a bit calm inside.

There's steps coming in the house. Ni-Ki's home. Seeing him standing there looking at the window. Ni-Ki really wants to ask but he doesn't know how to start a conversation after that night. Maybe he could act like they're strangers. When he's about to step upstairs then Sunoo asks.

-Are you happy?

Ni-Ki got surprised, he doesn't answer. Sunoo turns around. 

-You....can be with her, and me, I won't give up, I will always wait until you realizes your feelings for me....

Ni-Ki stares at Sunoo, he can't believe what he's hearing, Sunoo looks at him, his joyful eyes is now covered with sadness and disappointment. But suddenly he smiles, but it's a sad smile.

-.....but don't let me wait for too long, because the time I have left....is almost over.
