Heeseung's POV

I was reading the file patiently at my work place when the door to my room banged open revealing a panicking Jay followed by a familiar person. "Kim Sunoo?" I stood up seeing him furiously enter the room as Jay tried getting him out. "Sunoo-ah please you can't-" but the guy looked so angry. He wouldn't even let Jay touch him let alone leave the room.

"Leave me!" He pushed my assistant away making me confused and stared at me for a while. "What do you want Kim Sunoo?" He scoffed walking up to me as I stood in front of him carelessly. "I thought you liked her?" He said out as I looked away not wanting to deal with this drama now. My mind was already bursting and his presence right now was making it worse. "Sunoo I don't have time for all this-"

"I'm asking you something Lee Heeseung." The younger guy cut me off as his eyes pierced through me asking for an answer as I clicked my tongue. "Yes I did." The guy scoffed backing away and looking at me unbelievably. "What about now?" I narrowed my eyes at him not wanting to start a fight with him now. "She doesn't deserve it." I spat out the truth walking back to my desk.

"How can you be this stupid Lee Heeseung?" But the tone of this young lad was pissing me off more than it should. "Mind your language Kim Sunoo." The guy didn't listen to me and threw his hands on the table. "I won't, jerk. You don't deserve it." He was going out of his limit. For me, he had no right to barge into my office and disrespect me. "Listen kid-"

"No you listen to me Lee Heeseung." He firmly said out as I stopped and gave up on trying to make him leave. He came closer to me with anger visible in his eyes. "Do you even know how my sister is coping with everything? She's sick. But she tells no one. She already had to visit the doctor once just this week already. And no one had any clue about it." My eyes changed to a pair of worried ones as Sunoo said out those but should I really care about her now?

"She deserves it." I coldly said out as the guy held his head with his hands in frustration. I bit my lips looking away but the guy didn't give up. "You don't know anything hyung. You know no shit and you're just fucking things up more." Sunoo's voice was full of sadness now. He held my shoulders making me look at him.

"You don't know how bad it feels to see the person who had never even teared up, sob in front of you for hours. You don't know how I felt when my sister started crying in front of me. On her freaking birthday. She was devastated." I blankly blinked trying to process what he had just said. What.. She cried. My breathing got heavy as I felt terrible. I didn't even know it was her birthday. I kept saying all those stuffs to her and the girl who never shed a tear was sobbing badly because I hurt her.

"I know your grandma died. And I'm sorry for that but why blame my sister for that? Just why?" I couldn't answer at all. I was ashamed of myself more than anything. The guy's voice cracked as he continued.

"I know you think she died because Seohyun took the huge risk without telling you. But just listen to me Lee Heeseung, the girl spent all her time searching for a different solution. She even searched for better doctors just to save your grandma while you were here crying without doing anything. Dude do you even know why she didn't tell you anything? Because you were hopeful. You already thought about the good thing pressuring my sister even more."

I never once thought that I should have actually listened to Seohyun. Whatever Sunoo was telling now, it hurt me. It made sense and it hurt me knowing how badly I hurt the only person who genuinely cared for me. The girl's brother chuckled sadly backing away as I looked down not knowing what to say.

"So she agreed. She agreed for the operation even though the doctor said the lady wouldn't have much chances but she still had hope. Kim Seohyun is too kind hearted to take all the blame on her. She's been doing the same for years. She took over the company because I didn't want to. She took the blame because you wanted to blame her. She sacrificed everything for the people whom she loved." I gulped seeing his teary eyes as he looked away smiling sadly.

"And it's just so sad to know that she never got anything back from them." Sunoo walked backward towards the exit of the office while looking at me. "I had never seen my sister be so hurt before last night Lee Heeseung. And you were the reason behind it." My heart broke knowing what a huge mess I had made. And how bad it was. "Sunoo.." I tried stopping him but the guy walked out of the office not saying anything more.

Falling on my chair, I cluelessly stared at nowhere. Jay came up to me and patted my shoulder. "You messed up real bad this time, CEO."

Seohyun's POV

I stared outside as it rained heavily. Why was the weather so gloomy? It all matched with me. So it made me feel worse. My eyes and heart were both in pain. I hated the fact that I cried in front of my brother and assistant last night. And it sucked to see them both act like nothing happened just so I wouldn't be embarrassed.

"Yah Yang Jungwon, can't you cook properly?" Looking at the two kids mess around in my kitchen, I smiled slightly liking their company. Birthdays were never my thing. It was the day I missed my mom the most. And staying all alone on this day was what I preferred. But these two dumbasses would always manage to get themselves at my house to celebrate it.

"Noona you should cook with us." I shook my head looking away as the thought of that guy came to my mind. The time when we cooked together. The moments when I was genuinely happy. It all died. My emotions, my feelings, they all died. I snuggled up under my blanket as I tried forgetting everything that happened the past few days as my eyes shut down making me fall asleep.
