YEARS APART

Again

Days passed since the fateful Meeting where Athiee knew Lee know's true name. The two of them worked it out pretty well, as they started a new chapter in their relationship.

"You should draw it this way" Athiee instructed the little Seungmin while drawing together

"I'll try" he said and did the same move as she said

"Well done" she said and he smiled happily.

Today Athiee decided to visit the orphanage again, along side with Zack who insisted on joining her. Maria was so happy to see her, and also was the kids. She gave them the gifts she brought for everyone and they screamed in happiness making a fuss.

"Noona is the best !" They all shouted at once making her smile

"Now go and enjoy playing together" she said and they ran in all directions.

"Seungmin" she called his name and he looked at her

"Wanna come and draw with me ?" She asked and his eyes shined brightly

"Yes !" He said and ran toward her, and that's how they ended up sitting together, drawing things.

"Miss seems so happy" Zack said and Maria chuckled

"She is" she said and Zack looked at her. He looked curious about something

"Go ahead and ask young man" Maria said and he smiled

"Well it's not that I'm curious or something but Miss never mentioned to me how she found this place... so i was just thinking... that's all" he said with a bit of hesitation

"Is that so ? Why didn't you ask her directly ?"

"If she didn't mention it, i won't ask. I don't like to be pushy" he said embarrassed. Maria gazed at him then sighed

"Someone brought her here, and that's how she found us"

"Someone ?"

"A friend of hers who knows us" she said

"A friend ? Ahh was it Han Jisung ? He is her only friend that i know of"

"You know that little rowdy dowdy boy ? What a small world" she said and laughed.

"Eh yeah, he is Miss Wang's childhood friend"

"Oh, i see" Maria said in understanding then gazed at Athiee from the window

"You were always that close to him... what a fate" she whispered and Zack looked at her

"Pardon ?" He said and she smiled

"It wasn't Jisung's doing. His friend, Minho, was the one who brought her here. You probably don't know-"

"Minho !?" Zack interrupted her words suddenly. He looked astonished and made her a bit confused

"By any chance, is he named Lee Minho ? The Lee group heir ?"

"Oh ! So you know Minho" Maria said happily while Zack was thrown into confusion

"Lee Minho and Athiee ? Since when ?" He thought to himself.

"Minho was the one who brought her, and as far as i know they are friends" she said and he looked at her silently

"I secretly wished for them to be more" Maria said and laughed

"Well they are" Zack said making Maria shocked

"They are ? Already ? Oh my Minho truly knows how to not to waste time !" She said excited and Zack laughed

"Don't get too excited, grandma. They are work partners now" he said and she looked at him confused.
